366: Chapter 364: King Tong, come!

Gu Shengge really didn't intend to pit Lord Seven Mysteries this time. The woman before him was too terrifying; he felt as if he couldn't shake her even if he exerted all his strength.

He truly needed Lord Seven Mysteries' assistance now to escape this predicament!

"Help me with all your strength, and we'll fight our way out together. After this, we'll be even, and our grievances will be wiped clean!"

Lord Seven Mysteries' expression was quite unsightly. He didn't dare believe a single word Gu Shengge said, but now he had no other choice!

Either believe Gu Shengge or perish... After just a few breaths of consideration, he said resentfully, "Fine!"

Lord Seven Mysteries provided full support, and the System rules flickered: "Recycling one Ancient God Dreamland, reward: one strike of Mahayana Peak combat power!"

Both Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries were filled with astonishment. What Lord Seven Mysteries had recycled was the Nine Mysteries Continent... It was only then that Lord Seven Mysteries and Gu Shengge realized that the Small World they had previously thought it was was actually just a dream of Nangong Jinglan!

"It was actually a dream... I didn't even notice!"

Lord Seven Mysteries felt it was inconceivable. If not for the System's recycling rules, he would have had no way of discovering it.

Gu Shengge felt the same. He could now be certain that the opponent was definitely an existence above the Mahayana Realm. It was a dream, yet it was also a real world!

Existence and non-existence were all within a single thought of such a powerful being!

Nangong Jinglan looked down at the two, the mockery in her eyes growing deeper.

"You two, it's time to be on your way!"

Nangong Jinglan acted again. With a thought, Divine Light Barriers appeared out of thin air around Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries. Centered on them, the barriers rapidly expanded outward, forming an energy cage.

This scene happened right before their eyes; Nangong Jinglan didn't regard them as a threat at all.

Lord Seven Mysteries gritted his teeth. "Just a mere Human Race Ancient God. If the Overlord descends, wouldn't you still have to bow your head? What are you so arrogant about!"

Nangong Jinglan smiled contemptuously. "Overlord? It's not like I haven't killed one before. Let them come!"

As soon as she finished speaking, points of light flickered on the four walls of the energy cage, shooting out golden beams of energy. They crisscrossed and continuously compressed the space where Gu Shengge and Lord Seven Mysteries stood.

Lord Seven Mysteries' injuries had not yet fully recovered. He was still fuming, and when the beams shot toward him, although he dodged most of them, one still hit him on his left shoulder. He was already missing an arm, and now his left hand was also difficult to move, making him look even more pathetic.

He stopped holding his ground and turned into a streak of light, rushing toward Gu Shengge to seek protection.

Nangong Jinglan noticed his intention. Dense beams of light instantly shot out in front of Lord Seven Mysteries, forming a Divine Light Barrier that completely isolated him from Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge didn't care about Lord Seven Mysteries' life or death. Moreover, once the light screen appeared, he had no way to force his way through and could only protect himself.

"Gu Shengge! Quickly use the reward you just obtained!"

Gu Shengge immediately activated it. The strike from a Mahayana Peak powerhouse was triggered, and a black sphere condensed in front of Gu Shengge.

“Buzz!”

The sphere hummed, and the ripples it sent out shattered the incoming light beams. As the sphere spun faster, vortex-like energy began to spread wildly in all directions.

“Buzz!”

Those incoming energy beams all shattered upon touching the black energy ripples and were converted into energy, which was then absorbed into the black energy sphere.

The golden beams around him became increasingly dense, but they could no longer get near Gu Shengge's body.

Even the nearby light beam barrier gradually dimmed as a lot of its energy was drained, allowing a faint glimpse of Lord Seven Mysteries on the other side.

Gu Shengge narrowed his eyes. Lord Seven Mysteries' injuries had recovered, and both his arms were intact.

This bastard was indeed still hiding his strength!

From above, Nangong Jinglan looked down at Gu Shengge. "Junior, you are powerless to contend with me. Kneel now, and I might consider sparing your life!"

In Gu Shengge's eyes, the divine light of his Double Pupils was restrained. Two pupils in one eye—it was extraordinary and mysterious.

Nangong Jinglan was slightly startled. "So you are actually a Double Pupils possessor. I thought you had just mastered some profound pupil technique!"

Gu Shengge didn't speak, waiting for the black sphere in front of him to launch.

Its absorption became increasingly violent, to the point where Gu Shengge felt like he was about to be sucked in.

“Buzz!”

With a roar, the energy barriers were completely absorbed, and the energy sphere finished its final charge.

Opposite him, Lord Seven Mysteries was panting heavily.

"Hahaha!"

"Finally! Finally, the accumulation is complete!"

"Kill her!"

Lord Seven Mysteries bypassed Gu Shengge, his nominal host, and unleashed the energy sphere, hurling it toward the massive Nangong Jinglan.

"A mere Ancient God dares to provoke the System Race? Die!" Lord Seven Mysteries roared.

Nangong Jinglan gave a cold smile and pressed down with one hand. Her majestic power stirred the clouds, and a frenzy erupted between heaven and earth.

Amidst Lord Seven Mysteries' angry roars, the giant hand touched the energy sphere and then pressed the upward-surging energy sphere all the way down.

Even a strike from a Mahayana Realm Peak powerhouse was powerless against Nangong Jinglan. This sight turned Lord Seven Mysteries' face pale; the spirit he had just gathered vanished completely, leaving him full of resentment and anger.

"Gu Shengge! What other methods do you have? Hurry up and act!"

He roared at Gu Shengge, hoping he could resist.

Gu Shengge shook his head. "Do you think I have that kind of strength?"

"Useless trash!" Lord Seven Mysteries cursed angrily, then directly withdrew the System power he had bestowed upon Gu Shengge.

He took out a yellow Talisman and stuck it on his forehead, quickly igniting it. The vermilion patterns on the Talisman paper imprinted themselves onto his body.

"Open!"

"Overlord Descends!"

With a roar, a streak of holy white light descended upon him from an unknown place above the firmament.

Under the white Holy Light, the skin on his body began to crack, revealing large patches of smooth white feathers. At this moment, he looked like a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon.

Within the holy radiance, Lord Seven Mysteries' body completely shattered, replaced by an oval-shaped sphere wrapped in white feathers.

Gu Shengge used his Double Pupils to observe, slowly penetrating the layers. He gradually saw that within the white Domain was a humanoid being.

This might be the Overlord that Lord Seven Mysteries spoke of... Or perhaps not. Gu Shengge didn't think Lord Seven Mysteries would sacrifice himself to summon the Overlord; maybe it was just Lord Seven Mysteries briefly wielding the Overlord's power.

While Gu Shengge was speculating, he was already slowly retreating.

Whether it was Nangong Jinglan or the descending Overlord, both were opponents he could not defeat. It was best to slip away as early as possible.

Nangong Jinglan glanced at him indifferently but made no other move. In fact, Gu Shengge had also noticed that Nangong Jinglan's primary target had always been Lord Seven Mysteries.

This moment was actually perfect for his escape.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the feathers wrapping the Overlord unfurled. It was a being with six massive white wings on its back, its face covered by a mask made of some unknown metal, both holy and mysterious. (End of Chapter)
