53: The wailing of reason, the betrayal of the body

The dizzying sensation of teleportation abruptly vanished.

In its place was a violent feeling of weightlessness!

Five figures fell clumsily from the spatial rift, crashing heavily onto a dark red scorched earth, kicking up a choking cloud of dust.

Gu Yanci was the first to steady himself.

He looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.

The sky here was a heart-pounding dark blood red.

Two pitch-black, hollow suns hung high above, emitting an eerie dark glow.

The air was filled with the stench of sulfur mixed with burnt flesh.

Roars, as if from primeval beasts, full of ferocity, came from the far distance, pounding on everyone's eardrums.

An inexplicable irritation and rage, without warning, rose from the deepest parts of everyone's hearts.

It was as if an invisible hand was forcefully plucking at their nerves of “anger.”

“Damn it…”

Gu Yanci cursed under his breath, forcefully suppressing the violent impulse with the will of the Human Emperor.

He immediately realized the strangeness of this world.

Without hesitation, he ordered in a deep voice: “All personnel, be on alert! Cang Xuan, observe the heavenly secrets! Ling Xi, scout the surroundings!”

This was the most correct and calm judgment a leader could make in an unknown environment.

However, the moment his words fell, the laws of this world activated.

—[Law of Wrath: In this realm, any form of 'command' or 'suggestion' will be perceived by the listener as the most malicious and unforgivable 'provocation'!]

Ye Liuli, who was closest to him, slowly turned her head.

The lazy expression on her beautiful face was gone.

In her noble purple eyes, a cold, bone-chilling killing intent, like one whose reverse scale had been touched, ignited.

“A mere Human Emperor… is he worthy of commanding me?”

On the other side, Cang Xuan, who was about to start his divination, suddenly froze.

The ethereal Dao charm of heavenly secrets around him instantly became chaotic and violent.

He looked at Gu Yanci coldly, his voice like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.

“Are you… telling me what to do?”

“Shut up.”

On Ling Xi’s sacred face, for the first time, undisguised disgust and hatred appeared.

“Your noisy voice is polluting the ‘Dao’ here!”

However, the first to act was not them, but the Shadowless Ghost - Ye Qiong, the existence that had always been ignored and was the most inconspicuous.

Gu Yanci’s command mentioned Cang Xuan and Ling Xi, but only he was not mentioned.

And in this world of “Wrath,” such “disregard” was the ultimate “humiliation”!

A pitch-black shadow silently vanished from its spot.

The next instant, a pitch-black dagger, laced with potent poison and carrying a malevolent killing intent capable of freezing the soul, fiercely stabbed towards Gu Yanci’s unguarded back!

“Courting death!”

What kind of person was Gu Yanci?

The moment the killing intent appeared, he had already sensed it!

Without turning his head, he unleashed a fierce punch with his backhand!

The golden Imperial Dragon Qi, like a roaring furious dragon, distorted space itself, striking the ghostly figure directly!

Boom!!

Ye Qiong let out a muffled grunt, his entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

But his eyes grew even more malevolent and crazed.

This furious roar was like the last spark dropped into a powder keg, completely igniting everyone’s sanity!

“You bunch of hopeless idiots, all of you, die!”

Ye Liuli let out a cold laugh.

Endless shadows spread wildly from beneath her feet, transforming into hundreds of ferocious, man-eating shadow pythons, attacking everyone present indiscriminately!

“Fallen souls, you shall be judged!”

Ling Xi raised both hands, drawing upon the power of the two black suns high above the nine heavens, as starlight converged.

It transformed into a hundred-zhang-long Spear of Judgment, filled with the aura of purification and destruction, descending from the sky, aiming directly at Gu Yanci, the strongest in the field!

“Ignorance! Your future is pitch black!”

Cang Xuan flicked his whisk, and the threads of karma between heaven and earth were forcefully disturbed by him!

The Spear of Judgment, which should have shot towards Gu Yanci, strangely bent in mid-air, shooting at Ye Liuli, who was controlling the shadows, at an even faster speed!

Within less than a minute of stepping onto this land, the five allies, who should have been bound by life and death, were completely plunged into the most insane and bloodiest death match!

On the battlefield, the battle had already reached a fever pitch!

“I am the Human Emperor! All of you are traitors!”

Gu Yanci was furious, a golden Human Emperor Seal suspended above his head, suppressing all directions!

“In my kingdom, you are all but dust!”

Ye Liuli transformed into the sovereign of shadows, merging with the darkness.

Countless doppelgangers danced on the battlefield simultaneously, harvesting everything!

Stars fell under Ling Xi’s guidance!

Karma was thrown into disarray by Cang Xuan’s manipulation!

Ghostly figures shuttled under Ye Qiong’s control!

Their converging, pure, and ultimate anger and destructive power made this already desolate scorched earth wail and crack violently!

Just as all of them pushed their power to the extreme, preparing to unleash that strongest, all-ending strike—

Beneath their feet, in the very center of that dark red scorched earth, which had been silent for countless eons… slowly, an impossibly gigantic golden vertical pupil, burning with endless rage, opened.

The battle had completely spiraled out of control.

No, rather than a battle, it was the most magnificent, yet most barbaric, act of mutual slaughter.

Five powerhouses, standing at the apex of their respective worlds, were now like puppets controlled by invisible strings, using their strongest powers and most ruthless killing moves to frantically attack the allies they could have entrusted their backs to not long ago.

Blood stained the dark scorched earth.

Golden imperial blood seeped from the corner of Gu Yanci’s mouth.

He tried to activate the Human Emperor Seal to suppress the entire scene and restore order, but under the distortion of the “Wrath World’s” laws, his thought of “ending the conflict” in his mind transformed into a tyrannical imperial punch of “slaying all rebels” in his hand!

No… stop!

Reason screamed frantically in the depths of his mind, but his body erupted with even greater power, shattering the attacking ghost shadow with a single punch.

In his golden pupils, an indescribable pain flashed.

Ye Liuli’s shadow clones began to become unstable, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry.

This was a manifestation of her powerful will fiercely contending with the world’s laws.

However, the smile on her face grew even more enchanting and deranged.

Countless shadow tentacles reached out from the void, wrapping around every moving object like the most malicious curses.

“Haha… struggle, cry out! Your desperate appearance is truly… delightful!”

As she spoke the most venomous words, she roared in pain in her heart: Shut up! This is not me!

Stars, summoned by Ling Xi, transformed into a meteor shower, indiscriminately cleansing the land.

Karma, manipulated by Cang Xuan, turned into the most deadly killing tribulation, backlashing against everyone.

Ye Qiong’s figure had completely merged into this land filled with violent aura, transforming into omnipresent malevolence and killing intent.

Each of them struggled, each of them resisted.

Their Dao hearts were like candles in the wind, flickering in the gale of the laws, desperately guarding their last shred of clarity.

But this struggle only made their rage burn more fiercely, making this death match even more brutal!
