77: Call me wife! Domain evolution!

"Who's there!"

Hearing the soft chuckle that seemed to come from right beside his ear, Gu Qingchen's heart tensed, and he immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

The next moment.

He saw a star-robed maiden, with an ethereal beauty and refined demeanor, standing with a radiant smile in this world shrouded in dense Devilish Qi and black mist.

This immense contrast, as if the two were not on the same layer, even made Gu Qingchen slightly stunned.

"You are... that maiden from the Heavenly Secret Holy Land?"

Gu Qingchen had an exceptional memory; even with just a fleeting glance at the coronation ceremony, he could quickly recall the scene.

Of course, this also had something to do with the maiden's unique temperament.

"Hehe."

The maiden chuckled softly, transforming into specks of starlight.

In the blink of an eye, her figure appeared directly in front of Gu Qingchen.

"Let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is An Zhiyu, and I'm your future wife!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing these astonishing words, Gu Qingchen, who had just held the maiden's small, jade-like hand, felt the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

"What, you don't believe me?"

An Zhiyu tilted her head and blinked, her finger secretly scratching Gu Qingchen's palm a few times: "Then my future husband can rest assured and wait for destiny to unfold.

As for now, you should think about how to deal with the approaching Black Calamity Tide."

Hearing this, Gu Qingchen's expression also became serious.

The infamous Black Calamity Tide was known to almost everyone.

Countless glorious eras and prosperous Cultivation civilizations had ended because of the Black Calamity Tide.

"Doesn't the Black Calamity Tide only appear at the end of an era? Why are we encountering it now?"

Gu Qingchen pondered countermeasures while asking doubtfully, "Has this era already reached its end?"

"Hehe, my future husband, do you want to know?"

An Zhiyu grabbed Gu Qingchen's sleeve, looked up, and blinked her beautiful eyes: "Call me wife, and I'll tell you."

"…"

Seeing that even at this point, the maiden named An Zhiyu was still trying to trick him into calling her wife, Gu Qingchen was quite speechless.

"Alright, alright."

Seeing Gu Qingchen's reaction, An Zhiyu pouted and said, "Then I'll tell you first. Remember, you owe me a 'wife.'"

With that, she didn't give Gu Qingchen a chance to speak and directly explained his confusion.

"The world knows that the Black Calamity Tide will sweep everything at the end of an era, but they don't know that the Black Calamity Abyss is a huge energy plane, whose main body's area is almost equivalent to the sum of hundreds of Great Worlds!

Therefore, it constantly radiates Black Calamity Devilish Qi into billions of time-spaces, forming waves of Black Calamity Tides that sweep through its billions of affiliated Small Worlds.

And countless Demon Race members of various kinds in the Black Calamity Abyss's main plane and its affiliated Small Worlds will ride the Black Calamity Tide to sweep through various time-spaces.

When the scale of the Black Calamity Tide accumulates to a sufficient size, it will break through the boundary wall, descend upon our world, and bring about the end of an era."

"That is to say, the Black Calamity Tide doesn't only appear at the end of an era; rather, when the Black Calamity Tide accumulates to a sufficiently large scale, it brings about the end of an era."

As thoughts raced through Gu Qingchen's mind, he grasped the crux of the problem.

"That's right."

An Zhiyu clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Gu is so smart, truly worthy of being my future husband!"

Gu Qingchen had already grown accustomed to this little girl's crazy titles. Seeing the Black Calamity Tide approaching from the horizon, he had no mind to argue with her.

Hundreds of thousands, even millions, of powerful Demon Race members had already surged forward with the towering tide.

Gu Qingchen swept his gaze and saw all sorts of Demon Race members.

Such as the Blood Demon Race, Ancient Demon Race, Flame Demon Race, Qi Demon Race... Roar!

At this moment, these countless Demon Race members also discovered Gu Qingchen and An Zhiyu's whereabouts, and each one became excited.

"Human Race!"

"Humans!"

"Delicious blood food!"

"Kill, kill, kill, eat, eat, eat!"

"…"

Most of these Demon Race members were low-level demon soldiers, not strong in power and low in intelligence.

Only a few demon generals had reached the Three Dao Realm in strength.

With Gu Qingchen's strength, coupled with his Domain enhanced by the exquisite myriad worlds map, he could easily crush them.

In just a short while, hundreds of Demon Race members had fallen within Gu Qingchen's Domain, transforming into nourishment to nurture the Domain.

At the same time, Gu Qingchen went all out, manifesting rounds of Yin and Yang Great Millstones, rushing into the endless tide of Demon Race members.

Countless Demon Race members were ground down and devoured.

With the replenishment of endless blood and Origin, Gu Qingchen's Domain became even more solidified.

Even the myriad dao treasure tree bore various kinds of fruits.

"This won't do, my dear husband."

At this moment, An Zhiyu's voice once again sounded in Gu Qingchen's ear, yet her figure was nowhere to be seen.

Even when Gu Qingchen pushed his Reincarnation Heavenly Eye to its limit, he only saw some specks of starlight.

"Don't look, Xiao Gu. Even a Great Emperor without powerful detection methods would find it difficult to discover my current state, let alone you?"

An Zhiyu's tone sounded quite proud.

"This Black Calamity Tide can sweep through three hundred and sixty-five Great Worlds, as well as countless ancient life stars and Secret Realm Small Worlds, bringing about the end of eras for all worlds. Its numbers are endless, even a Great Emperor cannot kill them all.

You should think about how to escape."

"What if they can't be killed completely?"

Gu Qingchen laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Kill as many as possible."

With that, he even actively charged deeper into the Black Calamity Tide.

He could feel that his own foundation and Origin were rapidly growing stronger, and a miraculous change was subtly about to occur within his Domain.

Within the Domain, countless illusory figures of demon gods were vigorously slaying Demon Race members. With each Demon Race member killed, the illusory figures of demon gods became more solidified, as if they were about to transform into true living beings!

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, thirty-three supreme treasures formed a grand array, sweeping away all obstacles.

Within the Eighteen Layers of Hell, various Netherworld Treasures also displayed monstrous Divine Might, annihilating and even capturing countless Demon Race members.

Those captured Demon Race members, once ferried by the Bitter Sea Boat and washed by the Yellow Springs water, even had their life imprints and Soul imprints changed, completely transforming them into the most loyal battle slaves.

An Zhiyu, hidden within the Reverse Fate Star Track, watched Gu Qingchen unleash his Divine Might and couldn't help but gasp, her lively beautiful eyes wide open.

"This Xiao Gu... he's practically a bane to the Demon Race!"

She had never seen anyone grow stronger the more they killed in the Black Calamity Tide, as if the surging Black Calamity Devilish Qi had no effect on him, but was rather a great tonic.

Even in various ancient records, there was no mention of such an existence.

When she came back to her senses, she smiled so widely that her eyes narrowed into crescents: "As expected of my future husband, truly extraordinary!"

"Insolent Human Race brat!"

At this moment, amidst the endless Black Calamity Tide, a powerful Demon Race member finally noticed the situation here... [PS: Three chapters completed, thank you for the urges, good reviews, and gifts.]
