“Although you destroyed one of our pieces on the Go board, a piece is just a piece. It can never injure the player!”
Gu Hai extended his hand and pressed down. A silver river appeared out of nowhere, looking like the starry outer space lay within the silver river. Then it suddenly enlarged.
The Corpse Energy seemed close to Gu Hai. The thousands of hands in the Corpse Energy looked like they would reach the group. However, the silver river strangely pulled the space in this small distance infinitely far apart.
Although the thousands of hands were powerful, they were so far that they could not cross the distance. So what was the point?
They were so near, yet so far.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s pupils constricted at this strange scene.
“A Go board contains its own space. No matter how many means you have, you can never succeed within the Go board’s space,” Gu Hai said indifferently.
Kong Xuan and the others goggled, the appearance of this silver river taking them by surprise.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon appeared shocked and horrified. He could tell how incredible this Go Dao ritual array was. It was not simply incredible. The silver river was akin to the space within a Go board. Once he entered, he could not come out quickly.
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Gu Hai, your Go Dao is indeed incredible. I have not felt this way in a very long time. When I went to the land of the living, only Jiang Lianshan could fight me. Hah! Hahahaha! You are the second after Jiang Lianshan!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon said coldly.
“Oh? Jiang Lianshan fought with you? That means you lost to Jiang Lianshan?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
“Humph! That was because I was not in the Corpse Mound World. He wouldn’t be a match for me here, just like you. Humph! Don’t think you are incredible because you understand the Go Dao. The Go Dao is insufficient before me!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon said coldly.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon waved his hand after speaking.
Boom!
Boundless Corpse Energy suddenly appeared around the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, blanketing the surroundings.
In the surging Corpse Energy came many Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons.
“Corpse worm domain!” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.
“The divine Dao domain of a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator?” The Mosquito Daoist’s face sank.
The surging Corpse Energy instantly poured towards the silver river region.
The countless Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons did not attack. Instead, they brought out increasingly more Corpse Energy, which slowly liquified, to cover the place and drown everyone.
Boundless surging Corpse Energy poured into the Go Dao space, which was the silver river region Gu Hai created.
Whoosh!
The Corpse Energy immediately covered a vast area.
There was so much Corpse Energy, enough to drown the world.
Gu Hai’s face sank as he found driving the Go Dao laws somewhat taxing now.
“I’m in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. The divine Dao domain can slowly push out all other laws. The Go Dao laws? My corpse worm domain can push them out too. Do you find it hard to drive the Go Dao laws now? Hahahaha! Let’s see how you escape when I push out all the laws!” the ten thousand Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons said with cold eyes.
Whoosh!
The overwhelming Corpse Energy rushed into Gu Hai’s surroundings.
The Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal in Gu Hai’s forehead space gave off light, and the image of a Go board appeared out of nowhere. His group stood at the tengen position, and the surrounding empty space looked like the boundless outer space, with the surging Corpse Energy filling it.
However, as the Go Dao laws got squeezed out, the Go board could contain increasingly less Corpse Energy.
“Your Reverence, let’s rush out!” Kong Xuan said anxiously.
“We can’t! Lord Kong, the moment we leave His Reverence’s Go board region, we will enter the Corpse Energy region. We will die if that happens. We are trapped!” the Mosquito Daoist said anxiously.
Chang Ming felt anxious.
Gu Hai frowned slightly as he looked at the increasing Corpse Energy.
“We have been searching for Corpse Energy to cultivate with. Now, Corpse Energy is being delivered to me. Why fear it?” Gu Hai’s expression turned cold.
Buzz!
A suction immediately came from Gu Hai’s heavenly soul, pulling in the surging Corpse Energy.
The Corpse Energy in the Go board suddenly poured into Gu Hai’s body.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai’s body was like a bottomless hole, sucking in the surging Corpse Energy.
“What? You can absorb Corpse Energy?” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s expression changed.
Not daring to enter the Go board region, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon could only continuously use Corpse Energy to try and drown Gu Hai. Unexpectedly, Gu Hai could absorb Corpse Energy; it was useless against him.
“Humph! Let’s see how much you can absorb! I’ll fill you to death!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon roared.
Boom!
Even more liquid Corpse Energy poured into Gu Hai’s Go board, rushing towards him like floodwaters.
However, Gu Hai felt no fear. The surging energy poured towards his heavenly soul and entered his heavenly eye.
The Worldly Sorrowful Endowment circulated automatically. Gu Hai wanted to use the Corpse Energy to break into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s fourth layer. However, something strange happened. Although he absorbed the Corpse Energy, he could not form a new Corpse Energy core. Instead, it poured into the previous Corpse Energy core. After the Corpse Energy core absorbed the Corpse Energy, the Corpse Energy transformed into a strange energy that rushed into the heavenly eye’s pupil.
“What’s going on? The Worldly Sorrowful Endowment can only form one energy core for every kind of energy to advance in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s layer?” Gu Hai said in shock.
The heavenly eye suddenly felt bloated. As he took in more Corpse Energy, the strange energy in the heavenly eye seemed to reach a limit and needed to be released; otherwise, the heavenly eye would burst.
“No! Not like this!” Gu Hai’s expression changed.
Buzz!
Gu Hai’s forehead trembled, and the heavenly eye appeared. When the heavenly eye opened, it spewed out black light.
The heavenly eye seemed to have altered the absorbed Corpse Energy, turning quantity to quality, and blasted it out.
Whoosh!
The black light streaked across the Go board region, shooting towards one of the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons outside.
“What technique is this?” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s hair stood on end.
Boom!
A deafening report rang out. The black light seemed to cut apart the entire corpse worm domain, ripping it in half.
The black light did not slow down as it cut, instantly piercing through the chest of a Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
Bang!
A bowl-sized hole opened in the chest of that Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon clone. The black light pierced his body and continued through the corpse worm domain.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! That’s impossible! That’s just a clone!” the ten thousand Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons in the surroundings yelled in horror.
It should not matter if a clone gets destroyed in the domain. So, what is going on?
It was not just that clone. Strangely, a bowl-sized hole appeared on the chests of all ten thousand Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons.
Bang!
The corpse worm domain exploded, and the ten thousand Corpse Worm Heavenly Demons instantly merged into one.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon pressed his hand to the gaping hole in his chest, staring at Gu Hai in horror.
Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming goggled.
His Reverence’s third eye? What…what is this?
Buzz!
Gu Hai’s heavenly eye withdrew and vanished.
Without the corpse worm domain’s pressure, Gu Hai grasped the powerful Go Dao laws once again. Space moved, and the Go board quickly enlarged.
“Why? Why did you affect my main body when it was only my divine Dao clone you injured?! Why?!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon yelled.
“The wages of sin is death!” Gu Hai said coldly and did not explain.
Not that Gu Hai did not want to explain, but he could not explain it himself. The earlier black light came from the Corpse Energy the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon provided. He could not do it a second time now that there was no more Corpse Energy.
Suddenly, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s expression changed. “How are you related to Jiangchen?”
“Huh?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.
“Jiangchen’s Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye! Yes, there’s no mistaking it! It’s Jiangchen’s Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye! That was the Divinity Destroying Light earlier? During the shaman and animal spirit war in ancient times, Jiangchen used the Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye to destroy several divine Dao domains. That was the Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye? How are you related to Jiangchen?” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s expression changed.
Jiangchen? Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye? Divinity Destroying Light?
Gu Hai’s face sank. Does Jiangchen also have this Divinity Destroying Heavenly Eye?
However, this was not the time to exchange pointless words with the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. Gu Hai waved his hand.
Boom!
Driving the Go Dao laws, Gu Hai manifested an extremely large Go Dao ritual array that instantly surrounded the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
Despite the extent of the injury, Gu Hai knew the bowl-sized hole could not kill the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. After all, he still remembered how powerful the Six Paths Veritable Lord was in the past. Die? Only if the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had been reduced to ashes.
As of now, Gu Hai still could not kill the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. Sending out a second beam of the earlier black light was beyond him.
However, not being able to kill the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon did not mean he could not deal with the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. He had the Go Dao ritual arrays, after all.
The Heavenly Go Stone in the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal functioned as the source as he laid out a Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array.
Boom!
Space seemed to magnify millions of times as the starry outer space expanded. Since the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array was within the ritual array, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon got moved to the starry outer space.
It was just a vast, empty space; finding a way out would not be easy.
“Gu Hai, what are you doing?! Fight me if you dare!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s furious roar came from the starry outer space.
However, Gu Hai ignored the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. The Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array sufficed to trap the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. Fight? He could return to kill the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon after growing stronger.
“You can’t trap me! I have my sea of corpse worms! I have millions of corpse worms that can rescue me!” Another furious roar rang out.
“Huh?” Gu Hai looked at the starry outer space.
Rumble…!
A loud sound came from a distance, from where the Unborn Man fought. The black energy withdrew, exposing the Unborn Man. He had sealed the countless corpse worms that charged him earlier in a strange transparent barrier covered in eight-trigram diagrams.
Whoosh!
The Unborn Man clenched his fist, and the transparent barrier shrank, turning into a small ball containing millions of corpse worms. The Unborn Man had captured them.
“I’ve already collected your corpse worm subordinates!” the Unborn Man said coldly.
“No! No! Let me out! Gu Hai, you vile person! Fight me alone if you can! Let me out of this starry outer space! Otherwise, I will destroy everything you have when I get out! I will never let this go!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon roared.
Gu Hai ignored the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
It was not easy to escape the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array. Furthermore, would the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon leave things be if Gu Hai let him out? What a joke!
