365: Chapter 363: The world is distorted, the realm of tribulation?

Gu Shengge's eyes flickered with the Dao Principles of Time; his comprehension of both space and time was not weak.

But at this moment, as he sensed everything around him, he still couldn't detect any abnormalities; the situation here was completely real.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, with a roar, Gu Shengge saw the space around him distorting, and time also abruptly accelerated as everything in the surroundings changed rapidly.

"What are you doing!" Gu Shengge exclaimed in shock and anger.

Nangong Jinglan's eyes were like scorching suns, shining with dazzling divine light from beyond the firmament. With a faint smile on her lips, she said coldly, "Gu Shengge, regardless of what you are, in my eyes, you are merely intruders. Previously, I could keep you around to relieve my boredom, but now that I have revealed my identity, there is no longer any need for you to stay alive. Rest in peace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly distorted. Gu Shengge felt a twisting force spreading toward his body, as if trying to tear him apart, and his body endured unspeakable pressure.

Gu Shengge activated Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space, releasing the primordial space rules. Then, with the enhancement of his Double Pupils, he quickly isolated a small independent space, allowing him to escape the tearing of that force.

"Nangong Jinglan, I only entered this place by mistake and just want to leave safely. I know your strength is extraordinary, so I don't want to fight to the death with you!"

"But if you insist on having your own way and force a fight, I believe I won't be the one coming out on the losing end!"

Gu Shengge showed restraint and a calm expression, which made Nangong Jinglan pause in surprise.

"Gu Shengge, I am already clear about your cultivation and strength. You are merely in the Void Refining Realm, yet you dare to threaten me!"

"Then you are welcome to try!" Gu Shengge snorted coldly.

After only a brief hesitation, Nangong Jinglan attacked again. This time, it wasn't just space; outside the spatial barrier Gu Shengge had condensed, cracks began to spread. Within the cracks, golden Dao Principles flickered, completely tearing the space apart.

Gu Shengge's spatial barrier was also shattering, as Great Dao runes rapidly eroded it from within.

"Gu Shengge, take this!"

From beyond the heavens, Nangong Jinglan let out an angry shout. The sky instantly turned crimson as billions of meteors fell from the sky, carrying scorching flames and crashing onto the earth.

The area where Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries were located received special attention. Massive meteors, carrying world-destroying Great Dao Power, crashed down with a boom.

From the bottom of a deep pit, the hidden Lord Seven Mysteries cursed and charged out.

He had been hiding there, thinking Nangong Jinglan would temporarily ignore him, but he didn't expect her to unleash such widespread firepower.

"Gu Shengge! You bastard, why did you provoke her!"

Hearing this, Gu Shengge sneered, "Is that so? Do you mean that if I hadn't provoked her, she would have let us go?"

Lord Seven Mysteries predicted that Nangong Jinglan had long since intended to kill them; she wouldn't let them go.

As the two argued, thousands of meteors fell from beyond the sky once more.

Gu Shengge didn't shrink back. Power of thunder erupted from his body as the Twenty-Four Qi Chaos Thunder, carrying the destructive power to annihilate all things, spread out. It instantly covered the sky for ten thousand miles around. The falling meteors were struck by the lightning and shattered into dust.

Seeing this, Lord Seven Mysteries said solemnly, "Gu Shengge, given the current situation, you should just bind with me. Only with my enhancement will you be qualified to fight this existence from the Ancient Dharma-Ending Age."

Gu Shengge rolled his eyes at him, "Cut the crap. I don't believe I can't get any enhancement without binding to you. Either help me now or shut up!"

Lord Seven Mysteries was rebuked and gritted his teeth, but with a great enemy before him, he knew what was important.

[Ding! Recycled a hundred thousand miles of mountains and rivers, obtained an 800-fold increase in combat power!]

Gu Shengge was facing the enemy head-on when he heard the System's voice in his ear; he almost thought he had misheard.

He himself had methods to increase his combat power. With the Great Vertical and Horizontal Technique combined with the power of the Twelve Ancestral Gods, the enhancement could reach a hundredfold after double amplification.

Lord Seven Mysteries was truly ruthless, directly applying an 800-fold combat power boost to him.

In an instant, Gu Shengge's Chaos lightning became even more terrifying. Originally covering only ten thousand miles, it now densely filled the entire sky.

The meteors falling from beyond the heavens were shattered in space before they could even crash down.

In his System state, Lord Seven Mysteries followed beside Gu Shengge: "Break out! I've consumed too much System Power and can't hold on for long—at most half an hour!"

Hearing this, Gu Shengge descended to the area below the firmament, condensing thunder from all directions to form a massive lightning vortex. He stood outside the vortex, frantically accumulating the power of thunder.

From beyond the sky, Nangong Jinglan's gaze was deep. "An ant trying to shake a tree—you're seeking death!"

Thousands of thunderclaps hummed in the sky, and the firmament began to distort rapidly as the Great Dao Power vibrated. Vaguely, Gu Shengge heard Li Anlan's voice.

Gu Shengge's brow furrowed. "Nangong Jinglan! Your mother Li Anlan's remnant soul is anchored in the Great Dao of this world. Do you really want to let this world collapse?"

Gu Shengge wasn't fantasizing that Nangong Jinglan would stop, but rather he was worried that once Li Anlan's remnant soul completely collapsed, Nangong Jinglan would go entirely insane.

At that point, it would truly be a fight to the death.

Hearing this, Nangong Jinglan's expression became sorrowful. "Hehe, everything in this world... is fake!"

Gu Shengge's eyes flickered. "Fake?"

Lord Seven Mysteries was also in disbelief. After all, this place looked like an independent Small World in every way, dominated by Nangong Jinglan's will.

"Buzz!"

Under the astonished gazes of Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries, this world completely distorted. Heaven and earth inverted, turning into ripples of twisted energy like a vast ocean.

Gu Shengge's Chaos lightning was submerged in this ocean. Before it could even tear through the firmament, the world itself shattered first.

At this time, Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries truly saw Nangong Jinglan. The energy ocean formed by the world hovered above the Sky Burial Underworld. Opposite them, Nangong Jinglan's massive figure stood tall, like a creator god gazing down at all living beings.

Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries faced Nangong Jinglan directly for the first time, and the terrifying pressure emanating from her was clearly revealed to them for the first time.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Even though Nangong Jinglan didn't move, waves of energy fluctuations continued to emanate from her, buzzing in the ears of Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries.

Lord Seven Mysteries' System body trembled violently, filled with inexplicable horror. "This... is this the Tribulation Transcending Realm, or has it already surpassed it?"

He watched blankly, while Gu Shengge felt a surge of horror. Dealing with the Mahayana Realm was already difficult enough; if this person truly was in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he might very well lose his life here!

"Lord Seven Mysteries," Gu Shengge called out.

Beside him, Lord Seven Mysteries was instantly jolted awake. After all, he had been tricked by Gu Shengge many times, and he always felt that this guy was up to no good. (End of Chapter)
