341: Chapter 339: Killing Two Great Lords

With a roar, heaven and earth trembled in unison. The space around Gu Shengge twisted, severing any possibility of him using a Formation to escape further.

The colossal monster parted the clouds and fog, charging forward. Its massive, black-scaled claws left deep imprints on the ground, still bearing residual runes that glowed with an eerie red light.

In just a few breaths, the monster had arrived above Gu Shengge's head, its enormous foot crashing down, seemingly intending to stomp Gu Shengge to death with brute force.

Gu Shengge wanted to flee, but the surrounding space was already confined. Below his feet, countless restricting runes flickered with an eerie glow, their interwoven power transforming into myriad chains that descended from above, attempting to bind Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge’s expression changed slightly. The next moment, Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space was released, and the massive Dijiang manifestation propped up a large area of space. The monster’s descending foot was also lifted, and its colossal body was flipped onto the ground.

At the same time, the startled cry of Supreme Ruler Xie Shan rang out: "You... Gu Shengge, what exactly did you make me bind?!"

What it bound was naturally Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space. However, with its System’s power, it couldn't decipher Dijiang’s most complete and complex Dao of Space. Now, it was like a flea on an elephant.

Jialan exclaimed, "Bastard, how dare you insult us like this!"

Gu Shengge chuckled, "I almost forgot about you. You come out too!"

Zhurong, the Ancestral God of Fire was also summoned out of his body. Divine flames churned, blazing fiercely, and his mountain-like body stood there. The surrounding temperature instantly soared, and the sky was scorched crimson.

Gu Shengge turned and left, no longer lingering.

Seven Mysteries, the only one not yet bound, quickly chased after him, scolding, "Gu Shengge, how could you do this? We are partners! Abandoning them here now is truly dishonorable!"

Gu Shengge sneered, "Heh heh, then you can stay here with them and destroy that monster."

Seven Mysteries fell silent. That monster had already slain several Supreme Rulers, its strength was immeasurable. If he stayed here, his System would likely crash, and he would perish.

Gu Shengge and Seven Mysteries swiftly fled, having escaped dozens of miles in a few breaths.

Jialan and Xie Shan were still bound to Zhurong, the Ancestral God of Fire and Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space. The two Progenitors, controlled by Gu Shengge’s battle will, did not flee at all, but instead directly charged towards the monster.

"Seven Mysteries! Stop him!"

"Seven Mysteries, bring him back!"

...No matter how Jialan and Xie Shan shouted, Seven Mysteries didn't even turn his head once.

Gu Shengge glanced at him, a dark current surging in his eyes. None of the Systems were good, and Gu Shengge had no intention of keeping Seven Mysteries either.

Feeling Gu Shengge's gaze, Seven Mysteries quickly said, "We are all Supreme Rulers. If not for this alliance against you, we would rarely interact in a lifetime. So, abandoning them doesn't burden me much.

"In the current situation, I only wish to leave here safely. I still have several Great Realms under my command, and an infinitely distant future awaits me. I have no need to fight to the death here. I will pretend your matter never happened and no longer be your enemy!"

Seven Mysteries spoke sincerely, his eyes filled with an urgent desire for survival.

Gu Shengge said nothing more, only replying indifferently, "Suit yourself."

As they rapidly traveled, the battle behind them erupted completely.

Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space, shattered the surrounding spatial Seal with his primordial Dao of Space. The Fire Primeval God seized the opportunity to strike, and scorching divine flames instantly filled the entire space, incinerating everything. The colossal monster was also engulfed in the inferno.

Gu Shengge and Seven Mysteries looked from afar, only seeing a giant fireball burning. The scorching aura spread for thousands of miles, and both of them felt the intense heat.

Seven Mysteries's expression was grave: "Gu Shengge, since you have the ability to deal with that monster, why did you flee?"

Gu Shengge sneered, "Idiot, why don't you properly investigate whether there are any more monsters down there!"

Seven Mysteries's expression changed slightly. He looked back and saw two more monsters crawling out of the black rift.

They exuded a more terrifying pressure than the previous one, causing that area of space to twist, and the scene became blurry.

Seven Mysteries's face was filled with disbelief, and he already mourned for Xie Shan and Jialan in his heart.

After about half an hour, the spatial Seal released by Dijiang shattered, and the fierce flames, after erupting in a dazzling divine light, completely extinguished!

The three colossal monsters were also ignited, and under the strangulation of spatial power, they turned into smoke and fragments.

Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space and Zhurong, the Ancestral God of Fire also collapsed with a roar, turning into two points of light that vanished in an instant. The next moment, they had traversed ten thousand miles, appearing before Gu Shengge, and drilled into his Dantian.

Seeing this, Seven Mysteries asked, puzzled, "Are these the two... Progenitors? They haven't been destroyed? What happened to Jialan and Xie Shan?"

Gu Shengge glanced at him and sneered, "Of course they perished. The explosion just now was the self-detonation of the two Supreme Rulers, but the energy was confined to that area."

Seven Mysteries's eyes widened. This guy had actually tricked two more Supreme Rulers to their deaths. Wouldn't he be in great danger then?

"Gu Shengge, I truly have no intention of being your enemy. It was only because of the Supreme Ruler agreement that I came here. Now that they are mostly dead, the Supreme Ruler agreement naturally doesn't count. Please be lenient, how about we join forces to escape from here?"

His attitude became cautious, but Gu Shengge still sneered:

"If you truly don't want to be my enemy, then let's part ways here! I still have things to do and won't be leaving here for now."

Gu Shengge said no more, using his movement technique to quickly depart, searching for Master of Xuantian Pavilion's son's remains.

Behind him, Seven Mysteries hesitated for a moment, then followed again.

Gu Shengge sensed Seven Mysteries chasing him from behind, and his face immediately darkened.

After those monsters perished, the Sky Burial Underworld seemed to return to calm, with no more strange auras appearing, just as it was when Gu Shengge first arrived.

Gu Shengge arrived at an area covered in bones. Large swathes of bones on the ground, for unknown reasons, were gathered together, piled layer upon layer, to an unknown depth.

Seven Mysteries landed behind Gu Shengge, asking, puzzled, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't the most urgent matter be to escape quickly?"

Gu Shengge rolled his eyes at it: "Then why don't you just escape? What are you following me for?"

Seven Mysteries was speechless, and after a long while, he said, "This place is too dangerous. If I were to force my way through alone, I'm afraid I would perish here. I still hope to share weal and woe with Fellow Daoist Gu Shengge."

"Heh heh." Gu Shengge sneered, "Suit yourself!"

Gu Shengge dared not trust these cunning Systems and remained constantly vigilant.
