âRight now the only way to survive is âââ
Gong Sun Zhi tapped his Inventory Bag, taking out a dull-looking iron ball.
âBefore youâre discovered by the Demon King, quickly go to that world, find the mass teleportation formation that Iâve prepared and put this identification device on itâ
Gu Qing Shan hesitated: âGeneral Sun Zhi, youâre much stronger than I am, perhaps you could go...â
Gu Qing Shanâs voice got lower and lower as Gong Sun Zhi undid his jacket, revealing a horrifying wound.
A dark blue fame extends from his chest to his shoulder, then continues all the way to his back.
The wound is so deep that even his organs could be seen.
The flame silently burned as the multitudes of runes surrounding it could only suppress the flames, but not put it out.
Hellâs Flames, the peak of all demon flames.
Gu Qing Shan looked at it, unable to say anything and could only mutter to himself.
This is a type of drought-bringer flame, even a small spark can turn a thousand milesâ river into dried, dead land.
The fact that Gong Sun Zhi was hit by this and yet heâs still alive is nothing short of a miracle.
Gong Sun Zhi said: âI used the 10-trigram Sealing formation to lock my life force inside myself, so for now I wonât die, but this wound was caused by the Demon King himself, so he can use it to tell where I amâ
Gu Qing Shan asked: âHow much longer can you hold out?â
Gong Sun Zhi replied: âHalf a day, after half a day the 10-trigram Sealing formation will lose its effect, and I will dieâ
Gu Qing Shan looked straight into his eyes: âSuch a wound, is there anyone that can still save you?â
Gong Sun Zhi laughed: âProbably no one, unless we can return to humanityâs stronghold and I get an Ascended thatâs an expert in healing to help meâ
Gu Qing Shan sighed, glanced at where Ning Yue Xi is in the sky and gritted his teeth: âIâll go thenâ
Gong Sun Zhi showed visibly joy, put the iron ball in Gu Qing Shanâs hands and said: âWe have people stationed at Shen Wu world, but the Demon King have already found them, so at this moment itâs possible that theyâre all already dead, so you donât need to worry about them too muchâ
He took out a formation plate and carefully gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked down, only to see this formation plate is separated into sections, each part inscribed with extremely intricate runes.
Gong Sun Zhi showed him the formation plate, explaining clearly what each section does, and: âThis is a common formation plate, thereâs many practical formations on there, but they all have limited uses so you have to use them wellâ
âAnd here is the location mapâ
After telling him everything, Gong Sun Zhi took out a turtle shell and had Gu Qing Shan stand on it.
âInside the Space Vortex, do not take care for anything, do not do anything rash, if something happens, itâs possible that even the 3 Saints wonât be able to save youâ
âI understandâ Gu Qing Shan nodded his head.
âGo!â Gong Sun Zhi lightly tapped Gu Qing Shanâs back.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan disappeared where he stood.
Another loud crash as Ning Yue Xi was knocked down by the Faceless Giant, creating another deep hole.
âGuhâ Ning Yue Xi shouted before jumping out from the hole
âYou sent him to Shen Wu world?â she asked
Gong Sun Zhi answered: âI did, both you and I are locked on by the Demon Kingâs inner sight, he will definitely not let us get near the teleportation formationâ
âYou want to let him escape?â
Gong Sun Zhi sighed: âHe already knows the secret, if he could survive then let him get the information back to humanity in our placeâ
Ning Yue Xi stood against the wind, her cold eyes slightly mellowed.
Wiping the blood from her mouth, she silently muttered: âThen there will be no more regretsâ
She swung her hand downwards as the Blade once again materializes.
âIf this monster can die, then I will also have no regrets dyingâ
As Ning Yue Xi said that, she gripped the Blade tightly and once again jumped to the sky.
Gu Qing Shan felt himself turned into a cannon ball, accelerating through the endless void of space.
The flow of time becomes unpredictable.
Your senses become infinitely stretched out, you could feel like days have gone by while in fact itâs only been a blink of the eye.
The endless space from all sides gradually recedes, becoming a bottomless void.
This would be the final layer of the Space Vortex, once you pass through, youâll reach the Space-time Vortex.
Gu Qing Shanâs heart clutches.
He has already experienced this when he returned from the future, and he knows just how scary it could be.
Even a seasoned veteran, someone who has gone through numerous dangers like himself, could only wish for luck.
âItâs best that I donât run into anything at allâ
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
A second after that, the whole world around him went dark as Gu Qing Shan broke through space, headed straight into a Space-time Vortex.
Suddenly a force similar to a rushing river surrounded Gu Qing Shan, pushed him through the time flow of both past and future at an incredible speed.
Gu Qing Shanâs vision blurred as he got pushed by this force into an unknown space.
A gigantic bronze alloy pillar that connects heaven and earth, stood alone in the middle of a vast field.
In the middle of the pillar, a corpse was pinned there by 5 large needles.
The corpse was hanging its head, on its body was a black full plate armor, about 10 stories tall.
But even so, the corpse is miniscule compared to the giant bronze pillar.
Under the pillar, and endless number of black skeletons are pacing back and forth, wanting to climb it.
They stack themselves on one another, gradually climbing higher and higher, almost reached the tip of the corpseâs foot.
Gu Qing Shan appeared out of thin air, passed through this strange space and kept on going.
âHelp meâ
A voice appeared in his head.
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, didnât bother turning around and kept flying.
He definitely canât stop now, even with the littlest of movement, heâll affect the layer of energy surrounding himself.
This energy is bringing Gu Qing Shan towards Shen Wu world, if anything were to mess with it, the results will become unpredictable.
ââââ-he might end up in an unknown world, or immediately be ripped to shreds, but most possibly, heâll be held back in this world, unable to leave.
âHelp me, Iâll grant you immortality and invincibilityâ
The voice once again spoke, this time containing a dignified tone.
Gu Qing Shan didnât bother to look back, his sight once again became dark as he got into another space-time layer and left this place.
A while later.
The corpse on the pillar slightly moved, then breathed downwards.
The breath contains an almost endless stream of dark blue flames, burning all the black skeletons below in a blink of an eye.
âGod damnit, the first creature to get here in 200 million years and I scared him awayâ
The corpse tried to struggle, but the needles pinning his body didnât even budge.
After a bit, seemingly tired, the corpse stopped struggling.
Under the soil of the bronze pillar, more and more black skulls are popping up.
Very quickly, the horde of black skeletons once again filled the earth, as they looked up at the corpse on the bronze pillar, they slowly moved once more.
.....
Gu Qing Shan travelled through the chaotic space-time storm, not knowing how long has passed, then suddenly a hole opened in front of him.
As Gu Qing Shan passed through, he felt the strong wind against his skin, the layer of energy also started to become thin, showing its form in the air.
Gu Qing Shan was inside a milky-white sphere, just like he was inside a large bubble, floating around.
Outside the sphere was a sky all filled with grey clouds.
The grey clouds are very strange, theyâre so thick theyâre almost black, yet you only need to look to see that theyâre transparent.
Gu Qing Shan looked up, his sight extended far. Within it, all he saw was an endless horde of demons, extending until the horizon.
Further away, a Faceless Giant was deep above the clouds, fighting another demon with a chilling ice aura.
The whole world has already been destroyed, as numerous demons deeper than the sea, higher than mountains have taken over this place.
