338: Chapter 336: The human skin is evil, and the king dies tragically!

Gu Shengge stepped outside; the sky remained gloomy, and the dust from the shifting mountains and rivers had not yet fully settled. This world seemed to be in a state of primordial chaos about to be divided.

Gu Shengge walked across the ground, staring tensely at his compass. He was somewhat worried that the remains of the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son would be completely buried underground because of this; if that happened, the difficulty of finding them would increase manifold.

The needle on the compass spun rapidly without any sign of stopping; the Law of the entire compass had been disrupted.

After a long time, the chaotic compass finally stabilized again. The corpse of the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son had actually changed direction, pointing exactly opposite to the original one.

It was as if the Sky Burial Underworld had completely shifted its orientation, making Gu Shengge's expression grow increasingly solemn. With such a violent change, the strength of the remnants from the Dharma-Ending Age hidden here likely wouldn't be weak.

Gu Shengge moved quickly through the mountains. Suddenly, a deep pit with a diameter of ten thousand li appeared ahead. Its depth was unknown, and the bottom was pitch black, like an abyss.

Within Gu Shengge's Dantian, the jade disc of creation flickered, emitting a faint light.

With a slight sensation, Gu Shengge understood the intent of the jade disc of creation; there seemed to be something it needed within the abyss.

Gu Shengge leaped, jumping straight down. Although he couldn't fly now, the strength of his Physical Body remained.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, Gu Shengge landed at the bottom of the cliff. This massive pit looked as if it had been left by an incredibly hard object crashing down from the Nine Heavens. Gu Shengge soon found the object that had caused the jade disc of creation to vibrate in the central area.

Below was a charred corpse, more than half of its body destroyed. On the remaining parts, System rules were still flickering; this was actually the wreckage of a Supreme Ruler!

Moreover, more than half of its body didn't look like it had been blown apart, but rather like it had been gnawed on, with many teeth marks visible.

Gu Shengge's scalp tingled at the sight. Such a terrifying existence was actually hidden here—even a Supreme Ruler was gnawed on as food!

After a careful investigation, Gu Shengge threw the System into the jade disc of creation to be refined, while also extracting any possible remaining memories.

The jade disc of creation hummed. The power contained within the Supreme Ruler's remains was not small, taking half an hour to complete the refinement. Afterward, a blurred and fragmented memory was transmitted to Gu Shengge's Sea of Consciousness through the jade disc of creation.

During the violent mountain shifts, lightning loomed in the clouds and the wind howled. Three Supreme Rulers utilized System rules to ignore the flight Restriction of the forbidden zone, moving rapidly through the mountains.

They suddenly halted, no longer moving forward. In the images Gu Shengge saw, the front was pitch black, with only the lightning in the clouds appearing intermittently.

Just as he found it strange, a sudden clap of thunder exploded, and brilliant lightning pierced through the boundless darkness.

He finally saw it—in the darkness ahead of the three Supreme Rulers, an Old Human Skin hung there, fluttering in the wind.

At the very top, within the hollow, hole-like eye sockets, a ghostly green light suddenly lit up.

The Old Human Skin seemed to instantly gain its own consciousness. Dragging its skin-like body that swayed with the wind, it pounced toward the three Supreme Rulers.

The three Supreme Rulers activated their full cultivation to fight the Old Human Skin. But this was the Sky Burial Underworld, the Old Human Skin's territory. After two more Old Human Skins appeared, two of the three Supreme Rulers were gnawed to death. The one that escaped was this one; with more than half of its body gnawed away, it eventually died due to chaotic System rules.

Gu Shengge only felt a chill down his spine. The level of terror of these Old Human Skins was simply beyond imagination. Those were Supreme Rulers, beings of such great strength, yet they were gnawed on.

With his small frame, he wondered if he could withstand it.

Gu Shengge now somewhat regretted rashly barging into this place. His current strength might not allow him to come and go as he pleased in the Sky Burial Underworld. The most likely outcome was being gnawed by the Old Human Skins, just like those Supreme Rulers.

Gu Shengge quickly concealed his aura and had the jade disc of creation hide him, giving the existences in the Sky Burial Underworld no chance to detect him.

Gu Shengge walked out of the large pit and continued toward the location of the Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son's remains. After walking for more than ten li, Gu Shengge sensed something was wrong. Some kind of danger seemed to be hidden nearby. This premonition was incredibly strong, but the opponent was hidden; without using his cultivation, he had no way to investigate.

Gu Shengge suddenly accelerated. With his powerful Physical Body, his speed reached a terrifying level as he quickly moved away, yet that sense of horror followed him like a shadow.

Helpless, Gu Shengge directly activated his Heavy Pupils. Under the divine gaze, Gu Shengge saw black figures closely following him.

Gu Shengge suddenly stopped and threw two punches. His immense power kicked up a gale, and the extreme force caused space to twist.

These black figures also stopped abruptly. Facing Gu Shengge's fists, they were unable to block in time.

Those things looked like black silken shadows, but when Gu Shengge's fists landed on them, it felt like hitting steel, producing a dull ringing sound. Their bodies didn't deform at all; instead, Gu Shengge's arms were shaken to the point of numbness.

To Gu Shengge's astonishment, the black figures shifted and actually condensed into his own likeness. In a mere moment, seven beings identical to Gu Shengge appeared before his eyes.

Their cultivation was restrained, and an eerie, cold light flickered in their eyes.

"What kind of things are you?" Gu Shengge asked in shock.

The beings identical to him did not answer, only approaching with eerie smiles on their faces.

Gu Shengge's face darkened slightly as he summoned the yin-yang great mill, suspending it in front of him.

Sure enough, the benefits of using countless Heaven And Earth Treasures when refining the yin-yang great mill were now apparent; these Clone-like beings could not produce such a treasure.

Regardless of whether he would be discovered by the Old Human Skins, Gu Shengge pulled these Clones into the yin-yang great mill and directly activated it to grind and suppress them.

Yin and Yang reversed, and the great mill crushed everything. The Clones trapped inside were suppressed by the mill, their bodies gradually being annihilated, yet the eerie smiles on their lips never faded.

After the great mill had suppressed and killed them all, Gu Shengge's main body received their power—pure life force. After absorbing it, Gu Shengge felt that the hidden injuries from his recent battles and the lost life energy were all replenished, which greatly surprised him.

These things were simply a great tonic; even at the Void Refining stage, he could benefit greatly.

Just as Gu Shengge finished refining this pure life energy, that sense of horror returned. This time, Gu Shengge was not flustered and directly activated his Heavy Pupils to investigate.

Under the gaze of the Heavy Pupils, as far as he could see, there were dense crowds of similar black figures. They were like food walking into a trap, lining up to deliver themselves.

But the more it was like this, the more terrified Gu Shengge became.

When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. How could these things be refined and absorbed by him for no reason? (End of chapter)
