Chapter 128 Integration Period
Inside the Panlong Pagoda, the space stretches infinitely.
In the vast space, a Dharma image thousands of feet tall stood in the air like a celestial king descending, surrounded by celestial light, incomparably sacred.
Gu Yan was enveloped in a five-colored glow. He was incomparably handsome and exuded a holy, magnificent, and powerful aura.
Dugu Xun's brain has completely shut down.
He really did it.
He truly entered the realm of the Spirit Venerable.
Oh my god!
The dharma image vanished quickly, as did the spiritual light emanating from Gu Yan. He flew towards Dugu Xun, and with a wave of his hand, a sword appeared in his grasp. The sword possessed an aura of immortality; it was named Tai'a, a top-tier immortal treasure.
Gu Yan gripped the sword and looked at the dazed Dugu Xun, saying, "Brother, let's go beat up your father."
what?
Dugu Xun: "..."

Dugu Yue, Dugu Sheng, and Dugu Ao, who were outside the tower, were still in shock when suddenly the giant dragon coiled on the Panlong Tower let out a deafening roar. The roar shook the space and created sonic booms. The terrifying power of the sonic booms forced the three Spirit Venerable level experts to set up their protective shields.
Then, the enormous azure dragon that had been coiled atop the tower left the wooden structure and roared towards the three of them. The dragon unleashed terrifying beams of azure light, its oppressive force like a tidal wave.
As Dugu Yue plucked the strings of the bone zither, a beam of red light shot out. The speed of this red light was incredible; it actually split the giant dragon in two. The dragon transformed into countless blue leaves, which fluttered down and gathered towards the wooden tower, transforming once again into a blue dragon coiled atop the tower.
At this moment, two figures appeared at the top of the wooden tower. The white-robed youth held a sword in his hand, while the black-robed man held a zither in one hand. Both of them looked at Dugu Yue in the void.
"This is impossible!!" Dugu Yue looked at Gu Yan, who was already in the Integration Stage, and showed disbelief.
Dugu Ao and Dugu Sheng, who were standing nearby, were also incredulous.
How... how is this possible!
He was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Emperor realm before, how did he become a Spirit Venerable?
Even if there really were some secret technique that could temporarily boost power, this would be too fast! No, impossible. Where would you find a secret technique that could raise one's power by an entire realm? Even if it came at a huge cost, this was still impossible.
Their worldview is about to collapse.
Gu Yan possesses the Chaos Overlord Body. Even back on Earth, a place with scarce spiritual energy, he was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. Now, in the spiritually abundant Yunlan Realm, he's thriving. If it weren't for encountering that troublesome Wumir, he would have already reached the Integration stage.
"Old ghost, take this!"
The Tai'a Sword in Gu Yan's hand erupted with dazzling immortal light, its celestial aura shocking the three Dugu brothers. What kind of spiritual weapon is this?
The celestial light transformed into a thousand-foot-long sword shadow, slashing down towards Dugu Yue. The entire world trembled for a moment, as if it were truly about to be cleaved in two by this sword.
Dugu Yue held the zither in one hand, and with a stroke of his finger across the instrument, a demonic dragon wreathed in red lightning appeared. This dragon was a thousand feet tall and exuded an extremely powerful aura.
The sword shadow and the demonic dragon collided and shattered, generating a terrifying shockwave that spread outwards, instantly tearing open tens of thousands of spatial rifts of varying sizes. The surrounding mountains had long been leveled, and the ground was once again torn apart layer by layer.
call out!
Wind and thunder wings appeared behind Gu Yan, and he instantly appeared in front of Dugu Yue, slashing at Dugu Yue with the Tai'a sword in his hand. Dugu Yue directly blocked with his zither, the sword blade erupted, the seven strings vibrated, light and flames soared into the sky, and terrifying aftershocks continued to spread.
Dugu Sheng and Dugu Ao stepped aside, looking at each other but neither of them made a move.
Although Gu Yan defied their expectations—in their eyes, Gu Yan was only at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm—did their elder brother really need their help to fight someone at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm? So, the two of them stood aside and watched from the sidelines.
However, they didn't know that with each major realm advancement Gu Yan achieved, the number of magical treasures he could use increased exponentially. With a wave of his hand, Gu Yan sent the Panlong Pagoda soaring up and crashing down on Dugu Yue. The Panlong Pagoda shone with a brilliant azure light, carrying immense pressure, attempting to capture Dugu Yue within it.
The blue light was strange and could not be touched, so Dugu Yue's figure shot backward.
boom!
The Panlong Pagoda didn't hit anyone, nor did it catch anyone, but that's okay.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Yan sent out twenty-eight small flags. These twenty-eight flags were the Twenty-Eight Constellation Flags, each flag representing a constellation. The twenty-eight constellation flags shot out in all directions, forming a magic array that trapped both Dugu Yue and Gu Yan inside.
As soon as Dugu Yue was trapped, he realized something was wrong. This magic array was strange; it was suppressing his power, preventing him from unleashing his strength above the early stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm.
What kind of formation is this? It's so terrifying!
The bone zither artifact in Dugu Yue's hands is comparable to a celestial treasure. If it were just the Tai'a sword, even if her strength was suppressed, Gu Yan might not necessarily be able to defeat him. After all, this old guy has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and Gu Yan's combat experience is far superior to his.
But Gu Yan has too many celestial-level magic treasures, countless in number, making them impossible to defend against. Just when you get used to one, he'll switch to another, it's simply dazzling and overwhelming. Dugu Sheng and Dugu Ao stared wide-eyed as their arrogant elder brother was brutally beaten by a brat not even thirty years old.
The two of them wanted to help, but Dugu Xun stopped them.
"Uncles, your nephew will play with you for a bit."
Dugu Xun said with a smile.
"The traitor!!"
Dugu Yue over there said angrily.
Then, because he was distracted, he got punched by Gu Yan again.
Even when injured, Dugu Xun was fighting two Spirit Venerables stronger than him, and he was unlikely to come out on top. However, he didn't intend to defeat his two uncles, and Dugu Sheng and Dugu Ao wouldn't use their full strength, so he could still hold out for a while.
Rumbling--
The five fought fiercely, until the sky darkened.

Three hours later.
On the pile of rocks, Gu Yan held the Tai'a sword, while Dugu Xun sat to one side, clutching his zither. Dugu Yue, Dugu Sheng, and Dugu Ao sat on the other side. Dugu Yue looked disheveled, the bruise around one eye still swollen. He glared angrily at Gu Yan and Dugu Xun opposite him.
Dugu Xun was also quite disheveled; he had to fight two people at once, and his clothes were all torn to shreds. Gu Yan, on the other hand, was dressed in spotless white robes, thoroughly enjoying beating up Dugu Yue.
"You unfilial son!!" Dugu Yue cursed at Dugu Xun.
"Old man, you can't do anything to Zirong, and you can't do anything to me either. Just mind your own business," Dugu Xun said.
"How could I have given birth to such a wretched child? How dare you team up with outsiders to bully your father!" Dugu Yue's fingers trembled with anger.
"Didn't you start this?" Dugu Xun said without any remorse.
Dugu Yue gritted his teeth.
He then looked at Gu Yan, who smiled brightly at him.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Senior Dugu, you beat me up, and I beat you up too. We're even now. If you keep making trouble, I'll have to call my family to come and argue with you."
As she spoke, Gu Yan lost her smile, and her eyes turned cold.
