157: Nowhere to escape

Shangguan Qing departed in haste and returned just as swiftly.

"This place has been discovered by the Demon Seed's minions, Meng Yun, leave quickly!"

Shangguan Qing lightly pressed a palm on Meng Yun's chest, instantly pushing him back, seemingly about to exit the residence and leave the inner array's range.

But.

A monstrous blood-red hand, even faster than his retreat.

How to describe that giant hand?

To say it blotted out the sky and tore everything apart would not be an exaggeration.

Bearing a power of ultimate evil, this hand easily tore apart the spatial rift Shangguan Qing had created.

Meng Yun looked up to see the dilapidated courtyard already crumbling everywhere, revealing a horrifying scarlet void.

Outside the courtyard, the edge of the inner array, which had been close at hand, instantly shifted tens of thousands of miles away!

"Since you've come here, stay, Meng Yun!!!" The Demon Seed's voice abruptly sounded in Meng Yun's ear.

It is known that the Demon Seed has two ways of transmitting sound.

One is super-distance transmission, spread through the Demon Seed's red lines. But only those who can see the red lines can successfully receive it.

The second is when the Demon Seed itself speaks at close range!

At this moment, Meng Yun had not fallen, so he could not perceive the existence of the red lines.

Being able to hear the Demon Seed's voice meant that its true form had already descended!

Meng Yun was in danger!

Alarm bells rang in his heart; this hand was clearly countless spatial distances away from Meng Yun, but the feeling it conveyed to him was far stronger than that of Saint Wuji and other Great Vehicle realm experts!

It was very possible that this was a Demon Seed that had already reached the Half-Step Immortal Emperor realm!

Great Desolate Prison Heaven…

Forget it, don't keep harassing only Senior Potato…

The blood-red hand changed from a palm to a fist, breaking through layers of space, pressing down firmly towards Meng Yun's location.

Along the stellar path, countless stars were blown up, releasing their last brilliant glow.

Then completely extinguished.

The true Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

Meng Yun was only at Transformation Spirit Peak, although he had two systems, countless worldly treasures as enhancements, and had eaten roasted meat beforehand for buffs, his maximum combat power could only barely match an early Great Vehicle realm expert!

He couldn't afford to be touched by anyone with the word 'Immortal' in their title!

"Damn it, I'll risk it!"

Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Fire transformed into a fiery furnace cauldron.

Hellfire surged wildly through the demon suppression stone.

The Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Dragon coiled and soared into the sky.

Furthermore, countless containment items circled around his body.

Finally, he dual-wielded the Demon Subduing Sword and the Invisible Edge Sword in his left and right hands, beginning to brew his strongest sword technique.

If even this didn't work, he would truly have no choice but to try combining techniques and unleash the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus!

After all, this was not a simulation.

If Meng Yun died, he would be truly dead!

No, after returning this time, he must master some effective way to revive.

At least not like Lin Xiao, whose karma was erased by himself, dying once meant being completely finished.

At least prepare a 'Revive the Dead' spell, and then a 'Call of the Undead'!

With countless methods unleashed, even Shangguan Qing was shocked by the aura emanating from Meng Yun.

"Meng Yun, perhaps you truly are the only hope across all timelines!"

After saying this, Shangguan Qing, in thefigure of a Demon Emperor, soared into the sky, blocking Meng Yun's path.

Meng Yun was indeed strong.

But his own cultivation had not reached that realm, so it was still nothing short of an egg striking a stone.

Therefore, she chose to appear in front of him.

"Boom!!"

Space shattered, the void trembled, and stars shifted.

In front of Shangguan Qing, countless figures emerged.

The leader had a weathered and resolute expression, none other than the original Xuanwu Heavenly Emperor Xu Bei Huang!

His figure seemed to be billions of feet tall, and against the incoming giant fist, he likewise clenched his own fist and slammed it out with a roar.

"Xu Beihuang, you really are not right!" The Demon Seed's knowing voice rang out.

Bang!!

Xu Beihuang was struck by the Demon Seed's blood-red hand, his body staggering, shaking down countless stars.

Thump thump thump!

Xu Beihuang was unknown where he was, his footsteps echoing as he retreated, the tremors reaching Meng Yun, still causing the ground to shake.

In a hurry, Xu Beihuang's gaze penetrated layers of space, quietly meeting Meng Yun's eyes.

A brief glance.

But Meng Yun had already understood his gaze—

Escape, escape.

This worldline was already a stagnant pool, beyond salvation.

Don't worry about their lives or deaths.

Thinking of the system's prompt just now, Meng Yun finally made up his mind to leave.

Only if he succeeded, would countless possibilities collapse into the one successful one.

What he saw currently might be the present, or it might be the future.

But, it was definitely not the possibility he would personally experience.

With his Transformation Spirit realm strength fully unleashed, Meng Yun rapidly traversed the void.

But the entire space had already been shattered by the Demon Seed; what seemed to be a finite distance was in fact already endless.

…

Yu Jingshen sat in the central control eye of the array, the five-elemental light beams incredibly brilliant, his entire being immersed in the vast and complex knowledge of the God Slaughtering Array Secret.

At a certain moment, in his perception, a patch of blood-red suddenly emerged in the boundless array diagram that was originally like a vast ocean.

This blood-red seemed to possess an inherent corrosive and infectious quality; merely perceiving it for a moment, Yu Jingshen felt his heart fall into utter chaos!

"Damn it, my cabinet moved, I'm not playing anymore!"

Yu Jingshen immediately wanted to withdraw from the great array; anyway, he had already roughly grasped the array knowledge, and the rest was just a matter of grinding work.

However, in his perception, Meng Yun was still inside and hadn't come out!

"Damn it, if I had known this, I shouldn't have made a deal with the existence within the great array!"

Thinking so urgently, Yu Jingshen quickly tried to manipulate the great array, guiding Meng Yun out of it!

Yu Jingshen had a strong premonition that if this continued, that scarlet aura would inevitably directly invade the current world!

When that critical moment truly arrived, even if it meant trapping Meng Yun within the array, he would completely seal off the great array!

"Meng Yun brother, hurry up!"

Yu Jingshen's voice, transmitted through the array's core, reached Meng Yun's location.

At the same time, streams of light converged from beneath Meng Yun's feet, paving a smooth path for him towards the edge.

And behind Meng Yun, a giant hand almost spanned the galaxy, ceaselessly fighting against Xu Beihuang and the others.

The change in the God Slaughtering Array also attracted the Demon Seed's attention.

A single finger instantly detached from the arm, piercing through the void and pressing down firmly towards Meng Yun!

"Damn it!"

Yu Jingshen was greatly alarmed; Meng Yun brother was invited by him, if he were to fall in there, he would be a sinner for all eternity!

In a hurry, he used the five-elemental energy to manipulate the great array, converging millions of energy threads to tightly entangle that finger!

As expected, the God Slaughtering Array lived up to its name; the threads tightly bound the finger in a tortoise shell knot, temporarily preventing it from moving an inch!

Meng Yun seized the opportunity and fled swiftly.

"I… I can't… hold on much longer…"

Yu Jingshen was drenched in sweat, his mental power almost completely drained.

Manipulating the God Slaughtering Array to contend with a Half-Immortal's finger, even for Yu Jingshen, a Divine Array Master, was too much to bear!

"Mere ants."

The Demon Seed's indifferent voice slowly resounded, and the threads wrapped around the finger began to buckle under the strain, emitting a grating sound.

Crack, crack, crack~

Finally.

The energy threads snapped one by one.

The Demon Seed's finger, completely unhindered, pressed towards Meng Yun like a thin veil.

Shangguan Qing: "Meng Yun!!"

Yu Jingshen: "Meng Yun brother!"

Meng Yun's face was ashen, and he directly turned around.

His right foot stomped on the ground, and a Bagua array disk suddenly appeared.

His standing position was precisely the 'Life Gate'.

And the direction from which the finger attacked was about to land on the 'Death Gate' position.

"Yu Jingshen, use me as the array core, and transmit energy to me!"

Meng Yun decided he wouldn't run anymore!

Isn't it called the God Slaughtering Array Secret?

Then he would show them how to slaughter this god!
