Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Unrestrained Guo Shifu
Outside the Wheel Palace, a terrifying aura surged relentlessly.
The overwhelming presence seemed to press down on the souls of everyone present, rendering them immobile. The aura of a supreme being was vast and boundless.
Guo Shifu did not restrain his aura. After being sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, the exhilaration of breaking free was indescribable.
Zhong Shan's eyes showed a hint of worry.
Guo Shifu had once vowed that upon his release, he would bathe the Wheel Realm in blood, leaving not a blade of grass, not a single soul alive, slaughtering billions to vent his deep-seated hatred.
Such a vow from an unparalleled powerhouse couldn't be dismissed with minor favors. Clay Bodhisattva helped him break free, but even without assistance, Guo Shifu could have escaped. Would a small favor override his vow?
If this were true, wouldn't the Great Empress Dynasty face an imminent catastrophe?
"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"
Guo Shifu let out another long howl. The roar pierced the sky, and the black energy seemed to scatter in an instant, spreading in all directions. The sky darkened, winds howled, and even the distant stars seemed to flicker in response.
Under Guo Shifu's formidable aura, the black energy around the Wheel Palace was completely blown away, revealing a vast complex of palaces.
At the center stood the towering Wheel Palace, with roof ridges resembling dragon bones, exuding a dominant aura.
The Wheel Palace stood at a height of a hundred thousand feet, the largest palace Zhong Shan had ever seen.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the palace, focusing on the figure standing at its pinnacle—a man in a black robe.
The man wore a wide black robe, his long hair flowing behind him. His face was pale as frost, and his eyes emitted a cold, electric glare, filled with hatred and profound indifference.
A look of absolute disdain, as if viewing ants.
Zhong Shan's brow furrowed. He had seen this look before. It was the gaze of a sage, one who viewed all living beings with indifference. But Guo Shifu couldn't be a sage, could he? This look was reserved for those of absolute authority.
If a mere official of King Zhou You of the Great Zhou had such a gaze, how powerful must King Zhou You have been?
"Greetings, senior!" The assembled experts respectfully greeted Guo Shifu.
Guo Shifu glanced coldly at them, ignoring their presence, instead looking at the rolling black clouds above.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, a hole was torn in the black clouds, and a beam of white light shot down, entering the body of a supreme immortal. The immortal's body initially weakened, then suddenly straightened as a powerful aura emanated from him.
The immense pressure from the aura blew several nearby individuals away.
Was this a sage's descent? Zhong Shan immediately recognized the scene, having witnessed it multiple times before.
A sage from the netherworld? Arriving so quickly!
"Boom!" Another deafening crash.
Another beam of white light shot down, entering the body of another supreme immortal. The immortal's body weakened before standing upright, exuding a powerful presence that forced others to retreat.
Two sages?
The spiritual senses of two sages had descended, both focusing on Guo Shifu atop the Wheel Palace.
Guo Shifu turned to face the two sages.
Outside the Wheel Palace, the terrifying aura continued to escalate.

Two sages?
The spiritual senses of two sages had descended, both focusing on Guo Shifu atop the Wheel Palace.
Guo Shifu turned to face the two sages.
"So, you two have come to congratulate me on breaking my seal?" Guo Shifu said coldly.
Despite facing sages—the most powerful beings recognized in the world—Guo Shifu showed no respect, his tone brimming with disdain.
The latter sage, dressed in red robes, looked at Guo Shifu and said, "From the malevolent aura, I can see your intent. You plan to massacre the Wheel Realm?"
"I, Guo Shifu, have never broken a vow! What I say, I do!" Guo Shifu declared firmly.
"The heavens value life. We can overlook your breaking the seal, but if you intend to annihilate the entire Wheel Realm, we cannot agree. Heaven's will has already informed us of this place. You should stop," the red-robed sage said calmly.
"The heavens value life? Coming from a sage, that sounds ironic. Don't bother with useless words. Today, I will massacre the Wheel Realm!" Guo Shifu retorted coldly.
The other sage in blue robes shook his head, saying, "It is not destined. The Wheel Realm cannot be bloodily massacred by you. You won't succeed!"
"Xiyang Tian!" Guo Shifu shouted sharply.
Clearly, Xiyang Tian was the name of one of the sages.
The powerful beings present couldn't help but feel astonished. Was this real? How could Guo Shifu speak to sages in such a manner? Were the officials of King Zhou You all this arrogant?
"You want to stop me? Do you even know how you obtained your sage position?" Guo Shifu said coldly.
The blue-robed sage, Xiyang Tian, frowned slightly.
"Back then, at the Three Springs, my king killed the sage Miejuehun, establishing the vast Zhou Heaven. Only then was the sage position vacant, which you took. Without my Great Zhou, you wouldn't be where you are today. Now you want to stop me? Do you want to rekindle the boundless karma with my Great Zhou?" Guo Shifu said coldly.
The surrounding experts were dumbfounded. Guo Shifu's king—King Zhou You—had killed a sage? A single person killed a sage? How was that possible? Sages were described as invincible. Could a sage be killed by a non-sage? If true, how powerful was King Zhou You?
To kill a sage without being one?
No one believed it, as it defied all their understanding. This was absolutely impossible. Had Guo Shifu gone mad from being sealed?
Daring to claim that King Zhou You killed a sage? What a joke.
Even Zhong Shan's heart raced. King Zhou You? Could it be true?
Xiyang Tian did not deny it, and the scene fell silent.
In this brief silence, people's certainty began to waver. Could it be true?
"King Zhou You, leading the Great Zhou, challenged the heavens with seven sages, altering fate itself! Such audacity is unparalleled in history. It was a path impossible to walk, yet King Zhou You trod it. Even in defeat, he drummed his will to the heavens and the underworld, declaring his intent with his drumbeat. The greatest king of all time, without a doubt. But fate cannot be reversed. King Zhou You is history. Do you think you can use a past king to intimidate today's sages?" Xiyang Tian said, his eyes narrowing.
The events of King Zhou You were not widely known, but now, with Xiyang Tian's words, everyone understood. A sage's words could not be wrong.
King Zhou You? What kind of madman was he? The Great Zhou? What a formidable Great Zhou!
This wasn't all. By recounting King Zhou You's achievements, Xiyang Tian indirectly confirmed one thing. King Zhou You truly killed a sage.
Of course, many still didn't know who King Zhou You was, but they knew one thing: King Zhou You was not a sage.
Because, in the mythos of dynasties, there was a peculiar rule: the ruler of a dynasty could not become a sage. This ancient legend stated that no ruler could attain sagehood unless they relinquished their throne and imperial status once their cultivation reached its peak.
King Zhou You was not a sage, yet he killed a sage. This revelation felt like an incomprehensible celestial decree to everyone, but they had to believe it because Sage Xiyang Tian confirmed it.
Guo Shifu looked deeply at Xiyang Tian and said coldly, "Though the king was defeated, the pride of Great Zhou will never perish. I am proud to be an official of Great Zhou, and I will not tarnish the king's name. I may not be able to slay a sage like him, but a mere wisp of a sage's divine consciousness cannot threaten me."
"You cannot succeed; it is destined. Even the powerful King Zhou You couldn't alter fate, and neither can you!" Xiyang Tian responded calmly.
"Xiyang Tian, do you still intend to stop me?" Guo Shifu said coldly.
Xiyang Tian glanced at the other sage and shook his head, "I owe my sagehood to Great Zhou, so today I am repaying a karmic debt. Though it's a bitter debt, I have no further ties with Great Zhou. It is destined; even without me, you cannot change it."
As he spoke, Xiyang Tian transformed into a beam of white light and shot into the sky, leaving the immobilized immortal slowly collapsing to the ground.
Xiyang Tian left? Did he tacitly approve of Guo Shifu's actions?
Everyone was shocked. The so-called heavenly virtue of cherishing life was a lie. These sages were utterly indifferent to the lives of the masses. Their fear of Guo Shifu deepened.
Forcing a sage to retreat—how terrifying must Guo Shifu be? If he truly massacred the Wheel Realm, who could stop him?
Fortunately, there was still the red-robed sage.
The red-robed sage had remained silent, watching everything with a calm demeanor. He seemed to become the protector for all present.
Guo Shifu coldly looked at the red-robed sage, who returned his gaze emotionlessly.
"Xiyang Tian? I am not as easygoing as he is!" the red-robed sage said blandly.

"Another lecture about destiny?" Guo Shifu remarked.
"Great Zhou is history. King Zhou You's reckless defiance deserved heavenly retribution. As for you, a mere remnant official of Great Zhou, how dare you speak so presumptuously before me? There are many in this world who can seal you. A mere immortal, daring to challenge destiny? Utter foolishness!" the red-robed sage said indifferently.
"Hahaha! When my king defied the heavens, where were you? Talking about destiny? I dare to challenge destiny. What about you? Hahaha...!" Guo Shifu laughed loudly.
Guo Shifu's defiance against the sage stemmed partly from his genuine audacity and partly from his need to vent the hatred accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years of imprisonment.
"Destiny is inexorable. Since you are obstinate, I will act on heaven's behalf to exterminate the demon!" the red-robed sage said calmly.
"Heaven's extermination? Hmph! If your true form were here, I wouldn't dare confront you. But with only a wisp of divine consciousness, you think you can play the role of heaven's executor?" Guo Shifu retorted coldly.
As he spoke, black energy surged around Guo Shifu, emanating a vast and terrifying aura that made the surrounding palaces tremble.
The ground quaked, and the sky trembled. A great battle was about to erupt!
Guo Shifu against a sage?
