440: Chapter 438: Gu Shenge Arrives, "God" Makes a Move

The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Beside her, the two Jietian Sect Disciples were filled with shock, their eyes flickering with a faint light; they felt that Jun Mengqing had been triggered and her mental state was somewhat abnormal.

"Saintess, are you alright?"

"Saintess?"

They looked worried, concerned about Jun Mengqing's condition.

"What are you staring for? Bring the Saintess over quickly!"

They were once again struck by disbelief; they seemed to have heard Cui Xuaner's voice.

While they were in a daze, the surrounding clouds and mist quickly dispersed, and they finally saw Gu Shengge and Cui Xuaner.

While they were stunned, Gu Shengge flickered and landed beside Jun Mengqing, supporting her swaying body.

He took Jun Mengqing's hand, and Life Force radiated out, pouring into her body in a continuous stream. The endless Life Force constantly repaired Jun Mengqing's injuries, and her cultivation also quickly recovered. Before long, Jun Mengqing no longer looked weak and exhausted.

Jun Mengqing let out a long sigh of relief: "You finally came."

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but there was never any news of you," Gu Shengge said.

"How dare you touch the Saintess like that! She is a top-grade offering for the High God. Take your filthy hands off her!" the white-robed Cultivator roared in the sky. In his fury, his entire cultivation energy fluctuated, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to gather and scatter erratically.

Gu Shengge raised his eyes to meet those so-called "Divine Envoys." Within his Double Pupils, the power of fate flowed, and images of their past lives and future constantly flashed before his eyes.

In the images, they had also suffered the impact of the clouds, mist, and Spirit Devouring Insects. They had similarly hidden in white tall towers to temporarily preserve their lives.

The only difference was that when they were on the brink of despair, they knelt before a tall divine statue and prayed for their lives.

Thus, they received "salvation."

The blurred scriptures chanted inside the white tower actually became clear after they bowed to the divine statue; it was a Daoist method, which they then practiced.

Then, the Spirit Devouring Insects on their bodies were all destroyed, and they even gained a natural barrier to protect them from the outer clouds and mist, so that even when they were in the midst of it, they were not affected at all.

A flash of killing intent crossed Gu Shengge's eyes. In the next instant, the divine light radiating from his Double Pupils suddenly converged, condensing into a divine sword. Carrying dense Sword Intent and killing intent, it slashed toward the Divine Envoy who had spoken.

Buzz!

The divine sword swept through, a bright light flashed, and the body of that Divine Envoy was severed into two halves, falling from the clouds.

The expressions of the remaining Divine Envoys changed drastically. After being blessed by the High God, their cultivation had been strengthened like never before. How could one of them be severed in a single move?

Their eyes were full of disbelief; this guy seemed different from the enemies they had encountered before.

At this moment, the faint light on their bodies flickered again. They looked up at the sky as if searching for something, or perhaps listening to something.

Gu Shengge gave a cold laugh: "Do you take me for non-existent? Interesting!"

The divine light of his Double Pupils erupted again. The Double Pupil Divine Sword, carrying sharp Sword Intent, swept across those Divine Envoys who were facing the sky. Their throats were slit, and their heads rolled off.

While they were listening to the divine oracle, in a state where they had basically no defenses, they were killed in an instant.

Rumble...

Above the firmament, thunder exploded as if an unknown existence was enraged, roaring as it erupted with a fierce Great Dao divine light, condensing into lightning that streaked across the clouds.

At the same time, a vast pressure erupted above the heavens, kicking up a majestic wave of energy that came rolling in.

Boom!

A violent energy impact erupted, pressing down on everyone. Gu Shengge emitted an energy barrier, blocking all the pressure outside.

The surrounding clouds and mist began to surge frantically, continuously crushing toward Gu Shengge. The Spirit Devouring Insects within were even more sinister, like a black tide, constantly surging toward Gu Shengge to tear him completely apart.

The taichu dao bell vibrated, and a violent energy impact spread out, striking against the thick energy barrier.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Amidst the heavy energy impacts, the barrier of the taichu dao bell was also struck until it was covered in cracks.

However, after Gu Shengge condensed Great Dao Power and injected it into the bell, those cracks were quickly mended and restored once more.

At the same time, the clouds and mist continuously condensed, turning into a giant humanoid form. It contained dao patterns within and was blessed by Divine Runes. A massive fist smashed down, the dao patterns humming, carrying a huge energy impact.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the energy barrier was hit, and the clouds and mist on the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a thick layer of white clouds.

It wasn't shattered, but it was pressed down, showing how heavy the force was.

Gu Shengge did not retreat, nor did he flee. He charged into the sky and shouted angrily: "Is this fun?"

The sky went silent for a moment, as if that existence was momentarily stunned.

Then came an even more violent energy impact. The Power of the Great Dao of Light condensed hundreds of millions of divine spears in the firmament. Carrying a holy and fierce aura, they fell with a crash like shattered meteors, dazzling and brilliant, tearing through vast swathes of clouds and piercing straight toward Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge showed no fear. The Great Dao Power in his hands continuously gathered, and the Power of Order also bloomed in his palms. Under the control of the Power of Order, those falling light divine spears were actually suspended in the firmament by the force constructed by the Power of Order.

"You control everything in the Secret Realm. Whether it's the clouds and mist, the Spirit Devouring Insects, or those towers, divine statues, and ancient scriptures—they are all your methods, aren't they?"

"What is the purpose of such coercion and intimidation? To make those Cultivators your believers and be driven by you, right?"

Gu Shengge's eyes flickered with a dark light, and his body was shrouded in sharp Great Dao Power, with a towering air of slaughter.

"Heretic, how dare you provoke the High God!"

An angry shout came from the distance. It was forty or fifty Hedao Realm Cultivators. They were all dressed in white robes, with a white halo radiating from their bodies, and their auras were even stronger than the previous Divine Envoys.

They roared and glared at Gu Shengge, their powerful cultivation unconcealed, like an invisible deterrent.

Gu Shengge let out a disdainful sneer upon hearing this: "Hahahaha, why does your so-called High God not dare to show his face? He always sends ants like you to your deaths, and yet you are happy to do it. Are you truly willing?"

His words were filled with deep mockery and disdain, making those Divine Envoys even more furious.

Gu Shengge spoke even more bluntly: "Your so-called High God uses these thick, sinister clouds and Spirit Devouring Insects to constantly pressure you, drive you to despair, and make you inevitably enter the towers to worship the divine statue and become his slave. You are all Disciples of great sects; are you truly willing to become the slave of a so-called High God?"

The eyes of the crowd flickered. Perhaps there had been a struggle in their hearts, but above the firmament, there seemed to be another undetectable fluctuation that changed their thoughts. (End of Chapter)
