My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 465: Fighting Against The Heavenly Dao

Chapter 465: Fighting Against The Heavenly Dao
On the peak of the highest flying mountain—where the Gui Clan’s secret realm gathered the densest spiritual energy—the sky slowly brightened. Surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, the mountain’s peak blended seamlessly with the mist around it.
In the center of the peak, a huge platform had stood for hundreds of thousands of years.
When Gui Ying and Gui Xiaoxu appeared at the mountaintop, they saw Gui Fan and the elders busily setting up a grand formation on the platform.
Noticing the sudden appearance of their auras, Gui Fan paused and looked up.
Seeing his grandson and grandnephew, he smiled and said, "Ying Ying, come and take a look at this formation."
Hearing this, Gui Ying walked over to his grandfather while scanning the formation above the platform.
While Gui Ying was inspecting it, Gui Fan turned to Gui Xiaoxu and smiled. "Xiaoxu, congratulations on reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Realm in just one night. You truly are a descendant of Gui Yi. Even your talent is just like his."
Gui Xiaoxu saw the mixture of sadness and relief in Gui Fan’s eyes. Although he didn’t fully understand the feelings between siblings, after being around Gui Ying these past few days, he had begun to grasp Gui Fan’s longing and sadness.
Nodding politely, he said, "Thank you, Old Master."
Seeing how polite Gui Xiaoxu was to him, Gui Fan felt a tinge of disappointment.
’No rush. We have a long time ahead to get along.’
As they spoke, Gui Ying finished his inspection. Nodding in satisfaction, he said, "Not bad. The formation is perfect."
By then, the sun had risen from the eastern horizon.
Gui Ying looked at the sky, then calmly said, "It’s time."
Turning to Gui Xiaoxu, he beckoned him over. "Xiaoxu, sit in the center of the formation."
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu walked forward and sat cross-legged in the formation’s core as instructed.
After he sat down, Gui Ying waited until the morning sunlight fell on the grand formation.
When the purple spiritual energy within the sunlight touched the formation’s core where Gui Xiaoxu sat, Gui Ying said, "Everyone, please take your positions."
Following his words, Gui Fan and the elders took their positions, forming a circle around the platform.
Once everyone was ready, Gui Ying nodded at them. "Let’s begin."
The moment he said this, Gui Fan and the elders circulated their spiritual energy and formed hand seals.
At the same time, Gui Ying took out his life-bound artifact, the Heavenly Brush.
As Gui Ying channeled his spiritual energy into it, the brush began to glow. A second later, golden particles surged toward Gui Ying and shrouded him.
When the golden particles were so thick that they could be seen with the naked eye, Gui Ying formed an intricate hand seal, then he drew a talisman in the air.
Swish~ swish~ swish~
Gui Ying’s hand moved smoothly as he completed the talisman in one breath. The moment he withdrew the Heavenly Brush, the talisman shone brightly and shot toward the sky.
Whoosh! Wung~!
Hovering above Gui Xiaoxu, golden light burst from the talisman and connected to the twelve smaller formation eyes.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The moment the lights linked to the formation, the entire array lit up.
Whoosh!
Sitting at the formation’s core, Gui Xiaoxu suddenly felt his blood boil, as if roaring flames were burning him from the inside.
Clenching his jaw, he endured the pain. Within seconds, cold sweat drenched his body.
While Gui Xiaoxu battled the searing fire within his meridians, Gui Ying put away the Heavenly Brush and made a series of hand seals.
"Now!" Gui Ying ordered, slamming his palm onto the formation.
Following him, Gui Fan and the elders slammed their palms down as well. The instant they did, twelve golden chains shot out from the twelve small formation eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the next moment, the golden chains bound Gui Xiaoxu’s body and limbs tightly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Seeing this, Gui Ying made another hand seal and flew up into the air.
Floating in the air before Gui Xiaoxu, he used his spiritual energy to cut his palm, drawing out his blood.
Without showing any expression on his calm face, Gui Ying gathered it into a blood sphere. When the sphere grew to the size of an adult’s fist, Gui Ying pointed at the sky.
Instantly, the blood sphere shot upward and fused with the golden talisman.
Whoosh!
Below, Gui Fan and the elders gritted their teeth as they continued channeling spiritual energy into the grand formation.
Bound by the golden chains as he was suspended in the air, Gui Xiaoxu’s skin reddened by the second. The excruciating pain tearing through his body finally overwhelmed him.
"Argh!" Gui Xiaoxu screamed in pain, and blood began to seep out from every pore on his body.
Seeing this, Gui Ying’s eyes flashed with urgency. He looked at the sky and sneered, "Do you think you can decide my Gui Clan’s life just because you are the Heavenly Dao? In your dreams!"
The moment the golden talisman turned red, Gui Ying clasped his palms together and shouted, "Break!"
His powerful voice echoed across the mountaintop, shaking the ground.
In the next second, the golden chains tightened.
Clang!
Instantly, the golden chains pulled out twelve black nails shrouded in death energy from Gui Xiaoxu’s body.
"Argh!" Gui Xiaoxu screamed in pain as blood gushed from the wounds, splashing down on the formation.
The moment the golden chains fully extracted the black nails, the blood talisman vibrated violently and exploded.
Boom! Crash!
The explosion energy blasted Gui Fan and the elders several meters away. Amid the explosion energy, Gui Ying heard a clear sound of something fragile breaking.
As he landed lightly on the ground, the corner of his red lips curved up slightly with a hint of arrogance.
When the dust finally settled, Gui Ying stood at the center of the formation, his gaze fixed on Gui Xiaoxu, whose body was drenched in blood.
