71: A Nascent Soul cultivator's pursuit! This punch embodies twenty years of accumulated skill!

"Changing... pillowcases?"

In the scarlet eyes of the Penglai Ancient Emperor, not a single ripple appeared because of this lame joke.

It was the indifference of looking at a dead object, as if Gu Yang was already a corpse in its eyes.

"Disturbing My slumber, stealing My Dragon vein, die!"

Without any extra nonsense, the Penglai Ancient Emperor slowly raised its right hand, which was as withered as tree bark with long, jet-black fingernails, and pressed it gently against the Void Realm where Gu Yang was located.

Hum—

This press had no fluctuations of Qi, yet it seemed to have triggered some kind of law of heaven and earth.

Gu Yang only felt the surrounding air instantly solidify into a solid harder than steel, and an irresistible, terrifying force squeezed in from all directions.

Space Lockdown!

This is the power of the Soul Transformation Stage! With a word, the law follows; in a single thought, one can control a region of heaven and earth.

In front of this force, Gu Yang was like a fly trapped in amber, and even moving a finger became a luxury.

The bones throughout his body emitted an unbearable "creak" under the heavy pressure, as if they would shatter at any moment.

"Move! Move for me!"

Gu Yang roared crazily in his heart.

The shadow of death had never been so clear; he felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Damn it! I played too hard! This time I really kicked an iron plate!"

"Since I can't hide, then... I will blow out a path!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Yang's eyes.

The dozens of Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had just swallowed and had not yet had time to digest, along with that piece of spiritual marrow sufficient to trigger a war in the cultivation world, contained unimaginably vast energy.

At this moment, Gu Yang no longer tried to absorb them, but instead—detonated them!

"Five Elements Great Millstone—Reverse! Disintegrate!"

The Five Elements cycle within Gu Yang, which originally rotated clockwise and was endless, now began to rotate crazily in reverse under his forced control.

The Five Elements generating each other turned into the Five Elements overcoming each other! Metal overcomes Wood, Wood overcomes Earth...

A destructive energy storm instantly brewed and formed within his body, then shot out fiercely towards the rear along the Meridians of his back!

Boom—!!!

It was like a rocket thruster being ignited.

A colorful mushroom cloud of energy exploded from Gu Yang's back, and the terrifying reaction force instantly tore apart the space lockdown set up by the Penglai Ancient Emperor.

"Old thing! The pillow is yours! Goodbye!"

Relying on this thrust, Gu Yang transformed into a golden stream of light, and with incredible speed, he forcibly smashed through the sturdy dome of the underground palace and rushed into the sky!

"Hm?"

On the stiff face of the Penglai Ancient Emperor, which had remained unchanged for ten thousand years, a trace of surprise appeared for the first time.

A little bug with a Nascent Soul Physical Body could actually break free from its Buddha Kingdom in the Palm?

"Interesting. But... under the whole sky, is there any land that is not the king's? Can you run away?"

The Penglai Ancient Emperor took a step forward, and its figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, it appeared directly above the Penglai Immortal Mountain.

Looking at the golden light fleeing crazily in the distance, the Penglai Ancient Emperor raised its foot and stepped gently into the Void Realm.

Shrinking the ground into an inch!

A hundred miles in one step!

...

On the vast ocean.

Gu Yang was running for his life.

He had never run so fast before; the seawater under his feet was instantly vaporized by his trampling, dragging a white wake a thousand meters long behind him, as if cutting a wound into the sea.

"Too strong! It's simply not in the same dimension!"

Gu Yang looked back, and his heart almost jumped out.

He saw a mass of corpse Qi covering the sky and the sun rolling in from the sky behind him.

Within that corpse Qi, the Penglai Ancient Emperor stood with its hands behind its back, walking leisurely; with every step it took, it crossed a distance of several dozen miles, getting closer and closer to him.

Moreover, as the Penglai Ancient Emperor approached, the seawater below began to turn black and foul rapidly, and countless fish and shrimp floated to the surface with their white bellies exposed, instantly turning into white bones.

Corpse Poison Domain!

Once covered by this Domain, even if Gu Yang had a golden body for protection, he would be corroded into a puddle of pus.

"I can't escape!"

Gu Yang gritted his teeth.

His energy was being consumed rapidly; that burst just now had caused him significant internal injuries, while the opponent was as relaxed as a cat playing with a mouse.

"I must find a scapegoat... oh no, a helper!"

He opened his Divine Sense to the maximum, scanning the surrounding sea area crazily.

Suddenly, Gu Yang's eyes lit up.

A hundred miles ahead, there was a huge fleet of flying ships sailing majestically, with magnificent Aura.

On the leading giant ship, a five-colored flag hung and fluttered in the wind.

A familiar figure stood at the bow of the ship—the Five Elements Sect Sect Master, Mysterious Spirit Master!

Ever since his storage ring was robbed by Gu Yang at the Star Palace (and he had his finger cut off), Mysterious Spirit Master had sworn to tear Gu Yang into ten thousand pieces.

He had assembled the elite of the Five Elements Sect and, carrying the Sect's foundation Magic Treasure, was searching for Gu Yang's whereabouts carpet-style.

"Hey! What fate!"

Gu Yang almost laughed out loud.

"When I want to sleep, someone brings a pillow; when I want to fight, someone brings their head!"

"This old guy came just at the right time!"

Without saying a word, he turned his direction and rushed towards the Five Elements Sect's fleet.

At the same time, he settled his Qi into his Dantian, opened his throat, and shouted loudly using a lion's roar that was enough to shatter glass:

"Sect Master, save me! That is one of our own!"

"That old zombie behind says the Five Elements Sect is all trash! He even wants to capture you and take you back to use as a chamber pot!"

"He has a Top-Grade Spirit Stone mine in his hand! Hurry and rob him!"

The sound rolled like thunder, instantly spreading through the entire fleet.

On the giant ship, Mysterious Spirit Master was listening to his subordinate's report with a gloomy face.

Suddenly hearing this familiar and punch-worthy voice, he looked up sharply, killing intent baring in his eyes.

"Gu Yang?! How bold! You dare to throw yourself into the net!"

"All Disciples, take orders! Form the formation! Kill him!"

Mysterious Spirit Master just wanted to order an attack, when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

A terrifying Aura that made even his Nascent Soul tremble was pressing down from behind Gu Yang, covering the sky and the earth.

He looked up.

He saw the sky filled with rolling corpse Qi, and a Penglai Ancient Emperor wearing a Dragon robe, like a demon god, was arriving while stepping on the air.

Those scarlet eyes swept coldly over the Five Elements Sect's fleet.

In the eyes of the Penglai Ancient Emperor, since these people were blocking the front, they were accomplices.

"Ants, die."

The Penglai Ancient Emperor raised its hand and struck from afar towards the most conspicuous flagship.

Rumble!

A giant handprint of corpse Qi, a thousand feet in size, descended from the sky, blocking the sunlight.

"Soul Transformation Stage Corpse King?!"

Mysterious Spirit Master was scared until his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, screaming: "Hurry! Activate the defensive formation! All Elders, follow me to meet the enemy!"

However, it was too late.

The giant handprint fell.

That giant flying ship, which was sufficient to withstand attacks from the Late Nascent Soul Stage, was like a toy made of paper, instantly smashed into fragments!

Countless Five Elements Sect Disciples screamed and fell into the ocean, instantly corroded into white bones by the corpse poison.

"No!!!" Mysterious Spirit Master's eyes were splitting with rage.

"Old zombie! I will fight you to the death!"

The Five Elements Sect also had its foundation.

Mysterious Spirit Master sacrificed the Sect's supreme Magic Treasure, the "Five Elements Mountain Seal," and united with five Nascent Soul Elders to barely block the Penglai Ancient Emperor's casual strike.

An earth-shattering chaotic battle broke out just like that, inexplicably.

And the culprit, Gu Yang...

Was currently hiding behind a reef a few miles away, holding the piece of spiritual marrow he hadn't finished eating, chewing while watching the show.

"Tsk tsk, these special effects are much more exciting than watching a movie."

"Fight! Fight hard! Whoever wins, I'll eat!"
