425: Chapter 423: Entering the Tower, the Black Tower System Appears

The massive pangu true body stood tall between heaven and earth. Upon the heaven-opening divine axe in its hand, the golden Heaven-Opening Law shimmered, and immense energy gathered within, seemingly ready to split this world of ice and snow apart at any moment.

The black pagoda vibrated, and from its interior, a gray halo slowly flowed out, forming a humanoid figure upon the pagoda.

This light-shadow was faint and blurry, as if it lacked the stamina to sustain itself.

“Gu Shengge, what exactly will it take for you to leave? There shouldn't be any Opportunity here that you'd find worthy. I can give you the System Treasury, just leave!”

To protect itself, the System was using every means possible, even offering up the System Treasury.

That was the Foundation upon which the System assigned tasks to its hosts, containing countless Heaven-Defying items. If this was handed over, the System would essentially lose its value.

Gu Shengge's gaze was sharp and unmoved. What he needed was never some Heaven-Defying treasure; all he wanted was the System itself.

The gray energy entity couldn't help but feel bewildered, looking at the indifferent Gu Shengge in confusion.

Gu Shengge's gaze was cold as he spoke indifferently, “I came for you; it has nothing to do with anything else.”

The System finally realized, muttering to itself, “That's right, I feel an extremely dangerous aura from you. You must have slaughtered countless Systems... you are too terrifying.”

It muttered for a while, then asked in confusion, “What will happen to me?”

The System didn't understand. If a person didn't come for the System Treasury or those Heaven-Defying items, what else could they be after?

It asked about its own future, seemingly having accepted its fate.

Gu Shengge said indifferently, “Everything you have: your Origin and your system law.”

“How ruthless!” the System said. The gray mist on its body continuously dissipated, and the black heavenly creation pagoda vibrated. The runes inside flickered incessantly as it soared into the air, merging with the System once more.

“Gu Shengge, don't even think about devouring me. If you have the guts, then come inside!”

It roared, completely merging into the heavenly creation pagoda. The doors of the heavenly creation pagoda swung open, inviting Gu Shengge to enter.

Gu Shengge's pangu true body could not enter the heavenly creation pagoda. The massive body could prop up a world, and under the support of the Heaven-Opening Law, the space inside the heavenly creation pagoda could not contain it.

Gu Shengge deactivated his pangu true body and entered the interior of the heavenly creation pagoda. The murals on the first floor remained the same; he did not linger and went straight up the stairs.

The door to the second floor also opened, and Gu Shengge smoothly arrived at the second level of the heavenly creation pagoda.

This was a vast and boundless Dark World. Its width and length were unknown, and at the end of his vision, stars dotted the expanse.

Gu Shengge knew those were the worlds currently controlled by the heavenly creation pagoda. Perhaps out of fear of them being seized by him, they were extremely far away and did not manifest here.

“System, come out.” Gu Shengge was already inside; if it didn't come out to meet him now, it would truly have no way out.

In the Dark World, light shone, and in the dark region, gray energy quickly constructed a massive humanoid body. This was a state of pure energy, and also the Incarnation of the System.

The massive gray energy entity stood tall in the Dark World. Around its massive body, phantoms of Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Thousand Worlds drifted. Within them was dense Power Of Faith, which converged into the System's energy body.

Gu Shengge's gaze was cold, and divine light flickered on the heaven-opening divine axe in his hand.

“Damn System, trying to trick me?”

Now that the cards were on the table, Gu Shengge showed no fear, looking very much like he would charge up and fight if it didn't agree.

“Gu Shengge, there's no need to be so impatient.”

It brought its hands together. The moment they clapped, its palms vibrated, and a massive amount of energy gathered there, constructing a system law box.

At the same time, an energy cage appeared around Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge was shocked. “Old dog, you still want to fight?”

“Gu Shengge, if you want me dead, you must completely defeat me. You can only blame yourself for being too arrogant, actually daring to enter the heavenly creation pagoda!”

“Is there any point in putting up a desperate struggle?” In Gu Shengge's hand, the heaven-opening divine axe swung violently. A scorching Destruction Divine Pattern swept out with an irresistible sharpness, directly splitting the energy cage apart.

In Gu Shengge's Double Pupils, spatial power quickly intertwined, constructing a golden spatial tunnel ahead.

“Buzz!”

In the next instant, Gu Shengge had already charged in front of the System's energy body.

A set of tattered armor suddenly appeared on the System. The armor was broken and covered in lightning patterns, with residual Tribulation Lightning flickering on it. As the electric light flashed, it shattered the Void Realm, sounding dull and terrifying.

Gu Shengge's expression changed slightly. The lightning remaining on this tattered armor might be the Tribulation Lightning of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which was not something he could currently withstand. It was indeed terrifying! “Gu Shengge, we originally had no grievances; why must you pressure me!”

Hearing this, Gu Shengge couldn't help but find it funny. “You tried to kill me before; is it possible for that to just be forgotten?”

Gu Shengge stepped forward, the taichu dao bell already suspended above his head. He did not dare to underestimate his opponent.

The System Incarnation, clad in the armor, was bursting with confidence. It never expected Gu Shengge would actually dare to take the initiative to approach!

“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! You're looking for death!”

The System Incarnation roared, and a trace of Lightning Tribulation power attached to the armor was activated by it.

“Buzz!” The power of this Lightning Tribulation was truly frightening. The moment it left the armor, the space in front of it collapsed, turning into a blurred mess like a mosaic.

Gu Shengge did not immediately move to block it. Instead, he constructed a spatial lock, wanting to seal this power. After all, that was Lightning Tribulation power left over on the armor of a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert; it would be of great benefit even to Gu Shengge, who had worked with lightning for years.

“Buzz!”

Spatial grids were constructed, layer upon layer. In just a hundred breaths of time, Gu Shengge had already constructed over a hundred Restriction barriers to lock the Tribulation Lightning inside.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle...”

Series of intense explosions came from within, like cold water being poured onto hot oil.

Under the astonished gaze of the System Incarnation, the Tribulation Lightning was bound before him. Inside the square grid, a streak of energy crashed about but was consistently unable to Breakthrough the spatial lock.

“Dammit!”

Wearing the armor, the System Incarnation lunged at Gu Shengge. The Law power on its body continuously erupted, extending chains of order that carried the residual Battle Intent and Tribulation Lightning of a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, appearing unstoppable.

As Gu Shengge was approached, the Ripples of Order from the taichu dao bell descended, blocking the way in front of him.

“Boom!”

A punch was thrown, and the Divine Runess were shaken apart. It actually struck right in front of Gu Shengge, failing to be kept outside.

However, Gu Shengge didn't panic at all. Facing the aggressive System Incarnation, he met it head-on with the heavy heaven-opening divine axe.

“Bang!”

Space distorted, and the area where the two were located collapsed, forming a sunken space. All the surrounding power converged toward that region.
