364: Chapter 362: Nangong Jinglan's True Body, the World of Reincarnation

Lord Seven Mysteries suddenly felt a violent surge of energy, as if he would be severely injured in the next moment, or even have his System Rules collapse entirely.

He tried to struggle, but his arm could not be pulled free. With a focused gaze, he decisively severed his own right arm.

Purple blood splattered everywhere. Nangong Jinglan grabbed the arm and shoved it into her mouth, swallowing it like a python.

During the consumption, the System Rules condensed on the arm shattered instantly, dissolving into pure System Rules that were all absorbed into her mouth.

Lord Seven Mysteries retreated repeatedly, his face filled with horror. His System Rules had been devoured—what kind of existence was this woman!

"Gu Shengge, what is going on? Who on earth is this person!"

Gu Shengge stood nearby, equally shocked. It seemed that the other party did not care about Lord Seven Mysteries at all; she might even have viewed Lord Seven Mysteries as food!

Hearing Lord Seven Mysteries' inquiry, Gu Shengge shrugged. "I don't know either! I just felt that she wasn't simple, but I didn't expect her to be this..."

Lord Seven Mysteries had retreated to Gu Shengge's side and whispered, "Gu Shengge, we are in the same boat now!"

Gu Shengge quickly distanced himself from him. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not familiar with you."

By this time, Nangong Jinglan had devoured Lord Seven Mysteries' thick arm. In her eyes, which flashed with a deep red blood-light, killing intent surged, releasing a terrifying chill.

Nangong Jinglan's blood-red eyes swept over Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries repeatedly. She did not look like she was distinguishing between friend and foe, but rather like she was admiring delicious dishes. She even swallowed her saliva.

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Shengge's forehead. This fellow's ravenous appearance was not an act—she was purely a starving ghost!

"How about it? Gu Shengge, do you want to join forces?" Lord Seven Mysteries continued to ask.

Gu Shengge retorted irritably, "Join forces my foot! I'm leaving. You can fight her yourself!"

Gu Shengge turned and fled the main hall, leaving a spatial rift in the air. This guy had actually torn through space to escape!

Lord Seven Mysteries turned his eyes to meet those scarlet pupils and said bitterly, "That guy has already run away. Aren't you going to chase him? If you don't chase him now, you won't be able to catch up later."

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Jinglan's mouth. "You've come here—do you really think you can escape?"

Lord Seven Mysteries did not understand. He slowly retreated while activating the Great Dao of Space. In the next moment, he suddenly broke through space and escaped into the distance.

Lord Seven Mysteries looked back from high above the sky outside. The imperial palace was dead silent. When he was escaping, Nangong Jinglan clearly had the opportunity to stop him, but she did not. He did not know why!

However, he had finally managed to escape. At the site of his severed arm, the System Rules were slowly repairing the wound.

Nangong Jinglan was truly too terrifying. When she tore his arm off earlier, she had shredded the System Rules along with it, causing the recovery to be extremely slow.

He looked bitterly at the injury on his arm, his face filled with resentment.

He scanned his surroundings while using the System Rules to sense Gu Shengge's aura, wanting to locate him.

The System Rules spread out, but just as they reached ten miles, a Restriction energy descended, compressing his spread-out System Rules back into his body.

Lord Seven Mysteries trembled. This was not Gu Shengge's doing. He had just felt the power of this energy's owner—her strength was immense!

It was that woman, Nangong Jinglan!

He looked around in a daze. This world seemed to be filled with that woman's might and aura, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"Ah!"

He roared, and dazzling divine light erupted from his body, transforming into a large blue sword of System Rules that pierced straight into the sky.

"Stop playing these tricks! Today, no one can stop me from leaving this place!"

He was truly going to poke a hole in the sky and fight his way out of this world!

The great sword pierced toward the firmament. Gu Shengge was watching from afar; if Lord Seven Mysteries succeeded, he would follow suit and leave as well.

Suddenly, a shrill wail resounded throughout the world. To Gu Shengge's shock, a giant face appeared in the sky.

At this moment, that large face was like someone observing the situation inside a glass marble.

And that face was unmistakably Nangong Jinglan's.

As Gu Shengge was stunned, Nangong Jinglan seemed to see him. She grinned at the area where he was. Although she was incomparably huge, her smile was still enough to make one lose their focus.

Nangong Jinglan made her move. A fair, jade-like hand pressed down from the firmament, colliding head-on with Lord Seven Mysteries as he shot into the sky.

"Hum!"

Amidst the roaring sound, raging flames ignited on the huge, fair palm, erupting with scorching heat.

As time passed, the aura became increasingly powerful and scorching. The released energy fluctuations formed ripples of energy that constantly vibrated, making it increasingly difficult for the great sword transformed by Lord Seven Mysteries to continue piercing the sky.

The moment the huge flaming palm descended, the sword body transformed by Lord Seven Mysteries began to collapse. Large fragments of the broken sword fell, and the System Rules were partially damaged as well.

It was only then that Lord Seven Mysteries discovered Gu Shengge in the distance. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, and he rushed rapidly toward Gu Shengge.

His goal was very simple: to drag Gu Shengge down with him. Even if he died, he would make Gu Shengge a scapegoat.

Gu Shengge's gaze darkened. This guy was truly insane.

He gathered thunder in his palms and unleashed thousands of lightning bolts in succession, forming a dense web of thunder in front of him, blasting Lord Seven Mysteries, who was already severely injured, backward.

Under the continuous thunderous impacts, he had no chance to reach Gu Shengge. However, in the sky, the hand burning with raging flames was still pressing down.

"Boom!"

The giant hand pressed down on him, forcing him into the ground and leaving a crater dozens of miles wide.

The flaming hand finally disappeared at this moment, and the power attached to it dissipated. In the sky, Nangong Jinglan was staring coldly at Gu Shengge below.

Lord Seven Mysteries' fate was unknown, but looking at Nangong Jinglan, she would be dealing with him next...

"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Gu Shengge behaved himself; Lord Seven Mysteries was a cautionary tale, and there was no need to act tough.

"Gu Shengge, you dare to hit this Supreme Ruler!"

Gu Shengge felt a moment of awkwardness, but thinking back to what happened at the time...

"Senior, in that situation, you really deserved to be hit. And that wasn't your true body, was it?"

Gu Shengge was convinced that it wasn't this entity's true body, so he no longer held back and spoke his mind.

"Hehe, Gu Shengge, that was my true body."

Gu Shengge widened his eyes. "How is that possible!"

He had used his Heavy Pupils to carefully examine her several times; there was nothing wrong with Nangong Jinglan.

"Gu Shengge, that was me in my youth. Time in this world is in Reincarnation; you should know that."
