When those invisible entities said that they wanted to capture Reneedol, conflict was already unavoidable.
Shroud struggled to move his body, but still couldn't sit up.
Atley, Epta, and Scarlet were all extremely anxious.
Reneedol's entire body began to radiate light.
She shouted first: "Law Behemoths serving the Overlord of Radiance, please lend me a hand!"
Boundless light erupted into the sky.
— — but not a single Law Behemoth appeared.
Reneedol's expression changed and asked: "Shroud, what's going on?"
Shroud replied in surprise: "I'm not sure either"
The light around Reneedol's body was becoming dimmer and dimmer, almost about to disappear.
Everyone didn't understand.
"The Overlord of Radiance's power … is weakening" Shroud muttered.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
He tried to summon the Lord of Death.
Immediately, a cluster of black flames manifested behind him.
— — -fortunately, the Overlord of Death is still here!
At this point, a grey net descended from above and trapped Atley, Epta, and Scarlet inside.
The three of them were shocked and desperately struggled, but the net only tightened.
Loud laughter resounded from the void of space:
"Kill the men, keep the women, leave the prettiest one to the knight Boss!"
Following that, another net flew towards Reneedol, Gu Qing Shan, and Shroud.
Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out — —
Two clusters of black flames manifested and landed on the two nets.
Atley's group was instantly saved.
"There's been a change of plans" Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Atley stood next to him, while Epta and Scarlet hid behind him.
Scarlet lowered her head and silently chanted an incantation.
Gu Qing Shan instantly felt his power becoming more abundant.
For some reason, the Law Behemoths suddenly stopped coming.
Then, the strongest young man had changed from Reneedol to Rhode.
From the void of space, several dozen spinning blades of ice that gave off frigid air shot out towards the young men.
Gu Qing Shan knew that there was no other way out, she shouted, "I will cover the retreat, the two of you break through the encirclement towards the south!"
The black flame completely enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Without any hesitation, he dashed towards the spinning ice blades.
Seeing that, Reneedol carried Shroud and quickly said:
"Follow me!"
The youths knew that they could not hesitate any longer, so they immediately turned around and left with her.
Scarlet suddenly turned around, stared deeply into Gu Qing Shan's eyes, then loudly shouted: "Rhode, don't die!"
"I won't!"
Gu Qing Shan let out a roar and landed on the ground several hundred meters away with raging flames all over her body, producing an earth-shattering boom.
A long tail of dark flames was dragged behind him, burning everything in its path into nothingness.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out from the void of space and caught a half-burnt arm.
"Human hands."
Gu Qing Shan muttered to herself and looked around.
These people must be using some sort of technique to conceal themselves.
Gu Qing Shan knelt down on one knee, placed one hand on the ground, and quickly chanted the incantation for the Covenant of Death:
"Death follows you like a shadow, when you offend it, you will have to pay the corresponding price"
"Embrace Death"
Oom — — -
With his hand as the center, the dark flames quickly spread in all directions.
Desperate screams resounded one after another.
A large number of corpses appeared in Gu Qing Shan's vision.
These corpses were all wearing full chainmail armor, a shield on their back, and a Blade at their waist.
An army?
While Gu Qing Shan was surprised, a layer of frost abruptly manifested to block the flames of death.
All the flames were melted.
The snow turned into white mist that rose into the air.
Ice and fire were evenly matched!
Gu Qing Shan narrowed her eyes to see a sword-wielding, fully-armored knight sitting on his horse, also observing Gu Qing Shan.
Behind that knight, countless soldiers filled the wilderness.
"Brat, you've killed quite a few of our people"
A voice full of killing intent resounded from the knight's helmet.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's because you wanted to touch our people"
The knight chuckled: "Touch your people? Your World Valley has already been destroyed, so of course the remaining people won't be able to live "
"Who decided that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Every powerful domain" the knight urged his horse forward and sped up.
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and opened his palm.
A cluster of black flames appeared in his palm.
"It seems you've suffered a lot after being suppressed by the World Valley for so many years" he asked.
The knight didn't answer him and only shouted: "You're going to die!"
A bone-piercing chill emanated from his sword.
In the void behind him, a vast icy ocean appeared.
— — -an Ice Law Behemoth!
Gu Qing Shan's pupils dilated.
That's impossible.
Only those from the World Valley knew how to form a covenant with a Law Behemoth. Those from other domains could only use the power of Laws to strengthen themselves, they couldn't directly summon the Overlord like this!
What exactly happened?
As Gu Qing Shan's mind turned, the knight had already arrived in front of him.
"Die — –"
The knight abruptly shouted.
Gu Qing Shan pointed a finger.
The cluster of flames of Death carried a streak of blue lightning that struck the knight's body.
[Dreamjolt]!
Gu Qing Shan had combined his innate Thaumaturgy with the power of Death.
The knight couldn't move anymore and fell to the ground. His horse was startled and galloped away.
The vast sea of ice uttered an unwilling scoff before turning into a faint image and disappearing.
Gu Qing Shan walked forward, grabbed the knight by his neck, and lifted him up.
"Tell me, why were you able to summon a Law Behemoth?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The knight was still being burned by the black flames, his body twitching and moaning in pain.
Gu Qing Shan retracted the black flames.
The knight had just barely escaped death before he fearfully spoke: "It was the Overlord of Ice who came to find me. He said that I had an innate Frost affinity and wanted me to serve him"
"Serve? What are you trying to do? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
The knight didn't answer.
Frost manifested on his body, spread, and quickly enveloped him.
He had been turned into a frozen corpse.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
Because they weren't allowed to reveal their secrets, a Law Behemoth directly attacked a mortal.
This was completely unheard of.
Gu Qing Shan tossed the corpse to the ground and looked towards the distance.
But the troops didn't retreat.
Thousands of soldiers drew their weapons, spread out in formation, and slowly approached Gu Qing Shan.
The power of various Laws manifested one after another on their bodies.
— — -they had all formed a covenant with the Overlord.
The power of a Law Behemoth was immense.
This instantly boosted their strength to about the same level as Shroud.
How is that possible!?
There were too many of them, if Gu Qing Shan was caught in their midst, her fate would most likely be dire.
Gu Qing Shan suppressed her shock and quickly asked: "Overlord of Death, what exactly is going on?"
A line of burning black text quickly appeared from the void of space:
[I've said it before, the Laws don't welcome me, I don't know anything about them]
After a short pause, another line of black text appeared:
[But I can tell you that just now, the Overlord of Radiance no longer exists]
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
The most powerful Overlord had died.
What exactly is going on?
Could these Laws be plotting something?
A new line of black text appeared:
[I've sensed danger, those Laws also seem to want to destroy me]
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Weren't they afraid of you?"
The black text appeared again: [They might be afraid of me now, but they are unscrupulously forming a connection with living beings, first bestowing power upon them, then once they resonate with their Laws, they would immediately absorb the souls and power of all living beings — — - very soon, they will surpass me]
"They can do that? If living beings are being manipulated like that, wouldn't that mean all living beings in this world would go extinct? "Gu Qing Shan asked in disbelief.
[Indeed, they have broken the original rules of this world, causing everything to fall into chaos] the black text replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
The Overlord of Radiance had been destroyed.
The Overlord of Death had also sensed danger.
The Apocalypse had yet to arrive, but this world was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked: "Only death can bring you power?"
[Indeed] the black text replied.
"Most likely, you had already predicted this situation, that's why you were looking for a contractor, is that right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Indeed, I am the guide to the end of all living beings, the guide to that slumbering world. If it weren't for the fact that my existence was threatened, I wouldn't have spent the effort to ally with living beings] the black text replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the other side.
Rows of soldiers were surrounding him.
Boundless power of Laws was flowing from their bodies.
What exactly are the other Law Behemoths trying to do?
Why are they fighting for population?
Could it be that they want to use a mortal war to decide the victor?
No — — -
The truth should be even more terrifying than that.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh again and asked: "Why didn't you absorb my soul and life force?"
The black text quickly appeared: [Even if the Overlord of Radiance had been extinguished, he would still hold on to something, otherwise, he wouldn't be called Radiance. As the Overlord of Death, I will silently uphold the nobility of Death]
"Human male Rhode, do not speak anymore, if you do not prepare to break out of this encirclement, you will die here!"
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered.
— — -countless soldiers had surrounded the tree and were charging towards Gu Qing Shan.
"Die!"
"Kill him!"
"I'll cut off his head!"
They fiercely shouted.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and muttered: "I have a trick that I never use, because it's too cruel"
A mass of black fog rose from his body.
"But if this group of Overlords wants to gang up on me and bully a mortal like me, there's nothing I can do"
Oom — — — —
The black fog scattered in every direction, piercing through the layers of soldiers and spreading further.
Instantly.
All the soldiers fell to the ground.
A kind of bone-deep pain, a kind of soul-piercing pain, was assaulting each and every one of them.
This pain had surpassed the limits of what a human could endure.
"Aaaargh!"
"My hand!"
"What happened to my head! What happened to my head!? "
"Save me!"
The soldiers' bodies were slowly undergoing various changes.
They were evolving into a unique species. The pain caused a portion of them to faint, while the rest didn't feel any better and could only endure until they died.
— – Magic Dragon's bloodline.
The Bygone Era humanity's super War Soul Artifact. Its most terrifying power had been fully unleashed.
Gu Qing Shan looked at these people and fell into thought.
If she waited a bit longer, these people would have completed their transformation and become Dragonkin.
Their strength would have increased by leaps and bounds.
— — -but there were no 'ifs'.
Gu Qing Shan knelt down on one knee, placed her hand on the ground, and chanted: "Your lives shall belong to the Overlord of Death"
"Your powers shall also not be taken by the other Overlords, because everything of the Dragonkin shall belong to me"
He paused for a bit, then muttered:
"Embrace Death"
Boom!!!
Boundless black flames erupted from his hand, engulfing the entire ground.
