"What's that thing doing!?" Patriarch Shandian questioned.
The others had the same question as well, and even Lin Mu wondered.
"All of you should feel honored that my master has chosen this world and has deemed it worthy." Gu Yao said in a fanatic tone.
"Just what are you intending to do Gu Yao?" The Sky Precepts Ancestor demanded.
"Me? I'm not doing anything. I'm simply here to serve as my master's voice. Everything shall be done by my master." Gu Yao replied casually.
"And what might that be?" The Centennial Sword Ancestor said as he pulled his sword back and slashed again.
"Tch~ Tch~ Tch~ You should just give up and sit down from now. All of you will serve as the perfect appetizer for the master before he eats this world." Gu Yao stated.
"Eat this world?!?" Jing Wei was surprised.
"You aren't destroying it?" The Rainbow Pill Ancestor was surprised.
"Destroy it? Why do that? It would be such a waste." Gu Yao chuckled. "This world has been nurtured for such a long time and even has the best kind of resources that my master needs. Why throw away a perfectly good meal?"
Silence descends on the battlefield as no one had expected for this to be the case. All of them were sure that the invader wanted the world's resources and perhaps destroy it. But not only did the invader want to consume all the resources in the world, but also the world itself.
~TREMBLE~
Another quake was felt as the earth shook. The fissure under the Invader grew wider and it was unknown just how deep it had become now. The invader's body was still coming in from the spatial portal and going into the fissure.
The invader's body above the fissure was still the same mass, but the fissure was slowly being filled.
In a couple of minutes, the an entire three kilometer wide area of the fissure was filled with the body of the invader. All that could be seen inside it was a mass of wiggling tar and bones that floated in it.
"What is the name of your master?" Lin Mu spoke after a bout of silence.
Gu Yao who was focused on his master's work, looked towards Lin Mu and raised his brows.
"Hmm… you are certainly an enigma… a little familiar too." Gu Yao said instead. "You killed me once, but that aura… now that I sense it, I have felt it before." He continued and didn't answer Lin Mu.
"How about you tell me your master's name and I'll remind you who I am." Lin Mu suggested.
The patriarch and ancestors were a little confused as to why Lin Mu was asking this, but reckoned that he must have some plan. Jing Wei glanced at him and understood his actions.
'So we are to buy time… will that being be acting?' Jing Wei recalled a terrifying memory.
Wanting to support Lin Mu, Jing Wei withdrew the Ever-reaching blade and started to gather power in it secretly.
'You shall erupt with the greatest power I've ever mustered.' Jing Wei spoke to the sword in his heart.
~humm~
The sword lightly hummed in his hand but could only be heard by those that had comprehended Sword Intent.
The Centennial Sword Ancestor looked towards the immortal weapon and instinctively understood it as well. The level of communication was something on an entirely different level. It was like a language that only those that had comprehended Sword Intent could use.
'Perhaps today's the day for it… time for my end. A worthy end!' the Centennial Sword Ancestor said in his mind, and a determined expression appeared on his face.
Gu Yao watched Lin Mu for a few seconds after he had spoken and suddenly started laughing.
"HAHAHA! Do you think you are even worthy of that?" Gu Yao said out loud.
"I shall speak first then. Perhaps then you will realize if I'm worthy." Lin Mu said confidently.
"Go on then… tell me about you. You might have killed me before and have some ability, but you are nothing in front of my master." Gu Yao said in a prideful tone.
"You are right, that I foiled your plan and killed you. But that wasn't the only time I did that. Rather, it was the second time I did it directly. We've fought before too and I defeated you as well… forced you to change everything." Lin Mu taunted.
As soon as Lin Mu finished his words, Gu Yao felt his memories turn and a certain memory appeared in his mind. It was a still vivid in his mind and the ten glowing eyes still made him shudder.
"So it's you… Lin Mu. I never thought it would be the same kid as back then." Gu Yao said, as a hint of anger appeared on his face. "Good!"
"GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!" Gu Yao exclaimed loudly. "Now I'll get to pay back the debt. Your master humiliated me before and now I'll shall do it to you!"
"Because you know what?! MY MASTER IS STRONGER THAN YOURS!" Gu Yao said as he raised his hands. "FOR HE IS THE SHADOW GLOOM BONE LORD!"
~RUMBLE~
The name seemingly made the very skies shake and the earth tremble. The Invader even let out a screech that could be heard everywhere in the Xiaofan world. The screech was somthing that was heard within the minds of every being in the world, striking a level of fear that was never existing before.
At that moment, everyone came to know of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord as it announced its presence.
"Now that you know of my Master… time to die!" Gu Yao said and sent out a palm attack towards Lin Mu.
~BOOM~
A red and black aura gathered around Gu Yao's palm and shot forth, making the space shake.
Lin Mu flickered and dodged it with Blink though, irking the man.
"Humph! So you have some capabilities, but it won't allow you to live lo—" Just as Gu Yao was threatening though, an object appeared in the sky.
"A coffin?"
