260 Breaking the Void
After thinking through these things, he hung the pendant back around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.
The seawater surged, and after the black essence force that enveloped him flew rapidly for ten thousand miles, it seemed like it had already run out of energy. It gradually thinned out, and the speed also slowed down.
In the end, it was equivalent to floating with inertia.
“What ancient battlefield are we at?” Gu Mingzhou stood up from the thin black essence force shield and started to observe the situation around him.
This was an ancient battlefield that had been swallowed by the sea.
The seawater filled the broken walls and ruins.
Fortunately, the water was so clear that one could see the bottom. Although the waves were gradually becoming blue, one could still clearly see the traces left behind by the ancient war.
There were huge ravines cut by sharp weapons. They were flat and long, and the broken walls were smooth and slippery.
There were ruins of castles that had been blown apart by powerful energy, and broken glass tiles were everywhere.
There were even the corpses of experts who were soaked in the sea. Their clothes, skin, and flesh had rotted clean, leaving only white bones that emitted a faint white glow.
After traveling for nearly a thousand miles, the black energy shield finally ran out of energy. It let out a crisp sound, like a bubble that had been popped. It instantly burst and turned into specks of crystal light, drifting along with the sea water and gradually disappearing.
Gu Mingzhou fell from the sea and landed on the ruins. He looked around and couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of respect.
Especially those piles of white bones that were emitting a faint white light, their cultivation must have been extraordinary when they were alive. Because only cultivators in the mortal realm would be able to evolve their physical bodies, and their bones and bodies would be connected to the spirit.
However, even if they had reached the mortal realm, they would still die a tragic death on the battlefield, and the best result was no one to collect their bodies.
This was enough to prove how brutal this world had been in the ancient times.
Gu Mingzhou quickly shook his head and forced himself not to think about this.
The most important thing now was to find the cave as soon as possible and avoid the World God.
Otherwise, Zhou Yuanba would have sacrificed his life for nothing.
Even though he knew that Xu Fengyu would not let Zhou Yuanba go, Gu Mingzhou still had hope for Zhou Yuanba.
Or rather, it was a blessing, or even a hope to survive.
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Mingzhou immediately activated his elemental energy and took out the bronze fragment that Zhou Yuanba had fused into his body.
Just as Zhou Yuanba had said, it was a bronze fragment the size of a palm. It was transparent like crystal.
The two words “Ji Prefecture” were engraved in the middle of it, and the surroundings were decorated with blue patterns.
It was many times more exquisite than the Seven Devil Hall’s token.
“Zhou Yuanba said with this bronze fragment, one can enter the ancient immortal’s cave and escape the heavenly Dao’s surveillance. But how do I find it?”
Gu Mingzhou looked at the exquisite token in his hand and scratched his head.
“What’s wrong? You can’t find the place, can you?” However, just as Gu Mingzhou was feeling vexed, a gentle voice with a hint of a smile suddenly sounded from behind him.
“Who is it?” Gu Mingzhou turned pale with fright and quickly leaped back, jumping a few meters away to avoid the attack.
The surrounding seawater where he stood before suddenly began to boil and churn. A red shadow gradually emerged.
“Xu Fengyu?” Gu Mingzhou frowned, and surprise flashed across his face.
The red shadow that emerged from the rolling sea water was Xu Fengyu, who was held back by Zhou Yuanba.
“Where’s Zhou Yuanba?” Gu Mingzhou came back to his senses and asked nervously.
Xu Fengyu had come too quickly, so fast that Gu Mingzhou was a little surprised. He couldn’t help but think of Zhou Yuanba.
“Hehe, that fellow is just an ignorant wretch. Do you think he can stop me? Don’t be delusional. This Lord has said that none of you will be able to escape!” Xu Fengyu said indifferently.
Before he could finish his sentence, the devilish smile on his face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a cold and sinister expression. His right hand suddenly reached out towards Gu Mingzhou, and a red ribbon suddenly shot out, directly shaking off the seawater and fiercely striking Gu Mingzhou.
Gu Mingzhou hurriedly activated the elemental energy in his body and tried to dodge it.
However, the speed of Xu Fengyu’s swing was simply too fast. Almost at the same time as Gu Mingzhou mobilized his origin power, he was instantly whipped.
Slap!
Gu Mingzhou was like a zither with a broken string. He immediately flew backward a hundred meters and fell directly on a pile of white bones that were emitting a white glow. The already rotten bones were smashed into pieces, causing layers of waves.
Pfft!
Blood spurted out of Gu Mingzhou’s mouth, instantly dyeing the seawater around him red and giving off a strong smell of blood.
“I have never absorbed your blood essence before. I wonder how it tastes?” Xu Fengyu moved his nose very pretentiously and sniffed the bloody smell drifting in the sea.
“What, are you angry? Helpless, right? You’re very unwilling, right? Hahaha!” Xu Fengyu seems to be doing something extremely enjoyable.
Xu Fengyu instantly appeared in front of Gu Mingzhou. He raised his left foot and kicked Gu Mingzhou’s chest, completely pressing Gu Mingzhou, who was just about to get up, to the ground.
“What, are you angry? Helpless, right? You’re very unwilling, right? Hahaha!” Xu Fengyu seemed to be doing something very happy.
His right foot stepped on Gu Mingzhou’s chest, which made Gu Mingzhou feel weak and pressure as heavy as a mountain. The pressure made Gu Mingzhou’s face red from lack of oxygen.
“What I want is for you to die in anger, helplessness, and unwillingness. Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!”
After saying that, Xu Fengyu extended his right hand and pointed at Gu Mingzhou’s face.
A slender blood-red ray of light shot out immediately and attacked Gu Mingzhou with extreme speed.
When the blood-red light shot between Gu Mingzhou’s eyebrows, a cold glint suddenly burst out from Gu Mingzhou’s body.
It was a soft sword that was as thin as a wing. It flickered with a cold light and was filled with viciousness!
At the same time, as fast as lightning, it instantly cut through the blood-red light and slashed directly at Xu Fengyu without stopping.
“What?” Xu Fengyu sensed danger from the flexible sword and quickly retreated.
The flexible sword did not take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack. After forcing Xu Fengyu back, it suddenly returned and collided with a crimson light that had burst out of Gu Mingzhou’s body.
The two forces collided, causing the surrounding seawater to roil.
The seawater suddenly split apart at the place where the soft sword and the red light collided, revealing a crack in the void that was as thick as two fingers. A storm formed by the turbulent flow inside shot out like a demon.
It devoured everything around it, causing the crack to expand rapidly. It caused the void to shatter, forming a huge whirlpool that stirred up the entire seabed.
Gu Mingzhou, the closest to the crack, was sucked into the crack almost instantly.
Xu Fengyu’s expression changed. Even if he was one of the top existences in the world, he still showed a hint of fear when he saw the spatial storm that was crazily devouring everything.
Seeing that Gu Mingzhou had been sucked into the crack by the turbulence, a cold smile flashed across Xu Fengyu’s face. He moved his feet and instantly disappeared. He had directly left this place where the void had shattered and the turbulence was wreaking havoc.
