339: Chapter 337: The Lord is in a state of panic and asks Gu Shengge for help

Those black shadows transformed into Gu Shengge's appearance, clawing and lunging at him, but in the end, they were all imprisoned, ground down, and refined by the yin-yang great mill.

After crushing them, the pure energy was all absorbed by Gu Shengge. At this moment, he was surrounded by a golden mist of energy, which was pure energy he hadn't had time to fully absorb yet.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Three figures rushed from a distance and crashed down beside Gu Shengge.

"Gu Shengge, I didn't expect you to be here!"

Gu Shengge saw them. They were three of the eight Supreme Rulers who had been hunting him. One seemed to be named Xie Shan, but they were in terrible shape now. The System rules on their bodies were flickering, and some parts were even fragmented.

Gu Shengge immediately assumed a fighting stance, and the yin-yang great mill descended, ready to imprison the three Supreme Rulers. Xie Shan was in a sorry state, but his tone was no longer as aggressive as before.

"Gu Shengge, if you attack us now, at most we'll end up in a mutually destructive situation, and you'll never be able to leave this Sky Burial Underworld!"

Gu Shengge raised an eyebrow: "Oh? And what do you mean by that?"

"My meaning is that in this Sky Burial Underworld, perhaps we can cooperate—at least until we leave this place."

Gu Shengge understood. It seemed these arrogant Supreme Rulers had also suffered major setbacks here, and their mentalities had been shattered by this Sky Burial Underworld.

Gu Shengge wasn't entirely confident about taking action in this area himself, so cooperating with the three Supreme Rulers was a good choice.

"Fine," he replied decisively.

Xie Shan, Jialan, and Seven Mysteries breathed a sigh of relief. Escaping from the depths of the Sky Burial Underworld had cost them too much power. If they were to fight Gu Shengge now, they wouldn't even have a thirty percent chance of winning.

Seven Mysteries asked in confusion: "Gu Shengge, what are you doing now?"

"This place is full of strange anomalies of unknown attributes. Can't you see them?"

They looked around blankly, seemingly unable to see the dense black shadows. However, Gu Shengge had no reason to deceive them at this point, so their spines chilled, and they instantly became alert.

The black shadows had long since discovered these intruders covered in System rules and began to launch a frenzied assault on the three Supreme Rulers.

In places invisible to the System, one black phantom after another crashed into them. They didn't notice, but the already chaotic System rules on their bodies gradually grew dim. This change was very subtle and impossible to detect in a short time.

However, they were Supreme Rulers after all. After dozens of breaths, they began to notice something.

"What on earth is it? Why can it affect our state?" Xie Shan was horrified.

Gu Shengge used the power of his Double-Pupiled Divine Eyes to project the images he saw before the three Supreme Rulers.

The three Supreme Rulers were shocked to see the black shadows continuously crashing into them, and these shadows were so dense they seemed endless.

The three Supreme Rulers noticed that there seemed to be a vacuum around Gu Shengge where no black shadows were attacking, so they immediately rushed to his side.

Sure enough, after reaching Gu Shengge's side, the feeling of being bombarded vanished. The System rules could even gradually be reconstructed and extended, and their injuries began to heal.

Gu Shengge stared at them warily: "Everyone, please stay away from me. I don't dare stand with you."

Seven Mysteries was clearly an honest System and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll stab me in the back!" Gu Shengge said crossly.

Xie Shan glared at Seven Mysteries before turning his gaze to Gu Shengge: "Gu Shengge, the situation is dire now. We would never do something so treacherous. You can rest assured!"

Gu Shengge smiled dismissively: "Since you've seen them, find a way to clear these black shadows as soon as possible. They're just a special kind of energy; you must have a way."

Systems were things that spanned the myriad worlds with incredibly deep foundations. Gu Shengge believed they could find a way.

Xie Shan's face was dark, a fierce light in his eyes: "Wait for me to search the database. You two hold them off for a while."

Seven Mysteries and Jialan acted together, helping Gu Shengge reinforce the yin-yang great mill, continuously refining those black shadows.

On Gu Shengge's body, the erupting pure energy emitted a seven-colored radiance, which shocked Seven Mysteries and Jialan. They keenly realized that the power refined by the yin-yang great mill seemed to be absorbed by Gu Shengge.

Now that they were helping with the refining, it was no different from aiding their enemy!

But if they didn't act, Gu Shengge's cultivation would likely grow stronger and stronger. Once they escaped and a real fight broke out, they would be the ones at a disadvantage!

Jialan was clever and gave Seven Mysteries a look. Seven Mysteries asked, puzzled: "Jialan, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Gu Shengge glanced over and saw Jialan winking at Seven Mysteries. He immediately understood: "Jialan! If you don't want to work together, you're welcome to get lost!"

Jialan was indignant and cursed Seven Mysteries thousands of times in the System Heart.

But on the surface, he had to compromise, saying bitterly: "Gu Shengge, just now... I was wrong. I will definitely help you with all my strength now!"

Gu Shengge said no more. It was inevitable that they would play tricks. Now that he had their help, he just needed to focus on absorbing and increasing his cultivation with all his might.

In his Dantian, the Twelve Ancestral Gods slowly opened their eyes and began to frantically devour the surging energy, while also splitting off a portion of original rules to link to Gu Shengge's Dharma Idol in the center.

For a time, all the power emitted externally was absorbed. Even with the refining help of the two Supreme Rulers, it barely met the speed of his absorption.

Jialan instantly sensed the anomaly, and his expression became solemn. This fellow Gu Shengge was indeed not as simple as he appeared; who knew how many hidden cards he had up his sleeve.

Xie Shan, who had been searching the database, returned to his senses with an incredibly grave expression: "These are all transformed from the remnant souls of Cultivators who died here. They mutated due to the remaining rules of the Dharma-Ending Age, forming their current appearance. They are called Dark Spirits, and they can silently erode a Cultivator's Divine Soul, eventually even replacing or destroying it!"

Gu Shengge was shocked. If not for his Double-Pupiled Divine Eyes' ability to investigate, he might have been silently killed or even replaced here.

His heart chilled. No wonder some Cultivators who were lucky enough to escape the Sky Burial Underworld would undergo a complete change in personality after returning. It turned out their original Divine Souls had been replaced. If it's a different person, how could their personality not change!

Gu Shengge's scalp tingled. If that were the case, who knew how many existences from the Sky Burial Underworld had already infiltrated the Nine Realms.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, and a crack ten thousand miles long appeared on the black earth, dozens of miles wide. If they hadn't been fast enough, they would have likely fallen into the bottomless abyss.(End of Chapter)
