364: Chapter 364 Suppressing the Consciousness of the Gu God!

Li Shengyuan held the bagua plate in one hand and pressed the other against the stone railing of the altar.

The bagua plate shone brilliantly with starlight, its Yin and Yang fish rotating slowly as the Luck of heaven and earth surged forth like a tide, resonating with the dim runes on the altar.

Su Wanqing stood by his side, chanting a secret incantation. She used Gu Sorcery to channel the altar's power for Li Shengyuan to control, which, combined with the pressure from the bagua plate, bore down upon the Gu Gods remains.

However, the massive pitch-black entity suddenly shuddered at that moment.

A low, hoarse roar emanated from the depths of the remains; it didn't travel through the air but exploded directly within the minds of all living beings.

It was the roar of the Gu God's lingering consciousness, carrying the resentment and fury of being suppressed for eons.

The altar shook violently, and the chains clattered loudly. The runes, already covered in cracks, shattered one after another, dissipating into specks of spiritual light.

Su Wanqing's face turned pale, and her body swayed slightly, but she bit her lip hard and continued to maintain the secret incantation.

She knew that this was a life-or-death moment; one step back would mean eternal damnation.

Li Shengyuan, however, remained indifferent, a slight smile even playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Still not submitting?" he said softly, his tone as calm as if he were speaking to a disobedient child.

Li Shengyuan clenched his fingers, and the bagua plate suddenly erupted with light. A power far exceeding before surged out, and dense Ancient Demon Power merged into the altar.

The roar of the Gu Gods remains suddenly became shrill, carrying a hint of unmistakable terror.

The Ancient Demon Power had a suppressive effect on it!

It felt that, at its level, this power was not something it could withstand...

The Gu God's consciousness struggled desperately, trying to break free from the chains, but under the dual suppression of the bagua plate and the altar, it gradually quieted down.

The entire Gu God Space trembled. Grayish-white mist surged frantically, the ground cracked, and the Void Realm twisted.

The chains on the altar tightened one by one, letting out ear-piercing grinding sounds, but they did not break after all.

"Today..." Li Shengyuan's voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed endlessly in this space, "I will not only suppress your consciousness but also ensure you... never rise again!"

He pressed his palm down, and the bagua plate suddenly enlarged and merged into the altar.

In an instant, the shattered runes on the altar lit up again, more brilliant and stable than before.

The light on the chains flared up, locking the Gu Gods remains firmly and suppressing them downward inch by inch.

The massive pitch-black entity let out one last roar of resentment before falling completely silent.

The grayish-white mist slowly dissipated, and the sky began to clear.

Su Wanqing stared blankly at the scene, her eyes filled with shock.

She felt that the Gu God's consciousness, though full of indignant rage, had truly been suppressed once again.

Su Wanqing turned to look at Li Shengyuan. He was withdrawing his hand, and the bagua plate floated quietly above the altar, its starlight still flowing.

Li Shengyuan's expression was as usual, and he even had the presence of mind to brush off nonexistent dust from his robes.

"It's done..." he said, then gave Su Wanqing a calm smile. "Wait for me a bit longer. I'm going to take a closer look at this fellow's true face."

Su Wanqing opened her mouth to say something, but found her throat tight. In the end, she could only nod and say:

"Oh..."

Meanwhile, outside the Gu God Space.

In the Wugu Holy Land, the High Priestess leaned on her Snake-bone Staff, her aged face full of gravity.

She stared intently at the crack, her eyes filled with worry.

Several Elders were pale, their foreheads covered in sweat as they desperately maintained the stability of the Seal.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure surged from the crack, carrying the ferocious aura of an ancient aberrant species, sweeping through the entire Holy Land.

The Elders groaned, nearly coughing up blood from the shock.

"This is..." The High Priestess's expression changed drastically. "Is the Gu God about to emerge?!"

No sooner had she spoken than Coal Ball let out a "Gah!" scream, its feathers standing on end as it flapped its wings and flew backward.

"Gah!! Run! The monster is coming out! Xingzhou, run! That kid isn't going to hold on!"

Ye Hangzhou reached out, grabbed Coal Ball's wing, and expressionlessly pulled it back.

Pei Shuyun and Long Yun stepped forward simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the crack, filled with concern.

Long Yun bit her lip, her voice tight. "Shengyuan... he'll be alright, won't he?"

Pei Shuyun's expression was grave, and she clenched her fists, yet she still said calmly, "Don't worry. It's just the Gu Gods remains; it won't affect Shengyuan!"

The High Priestess took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I shall go in and take a look..."

"No..."

Ye Hangzhou finally spoke, his voice calm and brief.

Coal Ball, trembling on his shoulder, still added for him, "Don't worry, don't worry! That kid is tough as nails. Even the Demon Cult Leader couldn't kill him. What can a mere set of remains, dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, do to him? Goo-ga-ga! Everything will definitely be fine!"

Just as it finished speaking, the terrifying pressure surging from the crack suddenly stalled, then receded like a tide, dissipating completely.

The Holy Land fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the crack, unsure of how to react for a moment.

A look of unbelievable joy suddenly appeared on the High Priestess's aged face.

Her hand holding the Snake-bone Staff trembled slightly, her voice hoarse yet filled with irrepressible excitement: "The Gu God's aura... has gone silent. Not just suppressed, but... utterly quelled!"

"They must have succeeded!"
