In the darkness of space.
A man was currently dancing.
Liao Xing!
"Ahahaha, do you see those zombies? They're floating in space, unable to get close to each other, unable to evolve, only able to keep drifting. I want to call them Space Floats — — what a bunch of damned bastards! Serves you right for being unlucky! "
While laughing maniacally, he was flying towards the barren planet.
Gu Qing Shan stood next to him and pondered: "If this Evil Sacrificial Technique couldn't kill us, it should have ended already"
"Indeed, that should be the case" Liao Xing followed up.
"But why haven't we returned to the void of space yet?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Originally, the spirits of the Dusty World, Shroud, and Xie Shuang Yan were all in that void of space. If the Evil Sacrificial Technique was broken, Gu Qing Shan should have been transported back.
But right now, they were still in space.
— — -it wasn't over yet.
Liao Xing landed on the barren planet, looked around and said: "There's nothing here, it's very safe. How about we stay here for a bit, maybe the Evil Sacrificial Technique will end soon"
Suddenly, a voice resounded:
"No, it won't end, I guarantee that this technique will never end"
The void of space shifted.
Nine-faced Insect Demon appeared in front of them.
"You lost" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I only lost one round — —" Nine-faced Insect Demon replied.
In the void of space next to it, a head of an evil insect hovered motionlessly, giving off an eerie presence.
Nine-faced Insect Demon placed its hand on the head and shouted: 「 Sacrifice this body, continue the sacrificial technique — — 」
「 Sacrifice of Multiple Destinies of Destruction, activate! 」
Instantly, the scenery around them disappeared.
…
Liao Xing opened his eyes.
He found himself lying on a bed.
"Ah … what the hell, what exactly happened?"
He sat up on the bed and looked around.
This was a small, narrow room.
Gu Qing Shan was sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"You're awake?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"How strange, we clearly escaped to outer space — –" Liao Xing abruptly stood up, only to accidentally fall to the ground.
He couldn't get up for a long while, lying on the ground moaning:
"It's f * cking painful! Damn it! I've clearly become incomparably powerful, so why do I feel pain from a fall? "
"… Because everything has been reset" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Liao Xing stopped snorting and glared at him.
"When that technique ended, it was reset by the Insect Demon, so we've returned to the beginning of this evil technique" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Liao Xing regained his composure and sneered: "It's like rebirth — — does that foolish insect not understand that the more we experience it, the more confidence we have in controlling the situation?"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the lines of glowing text in the void of space:
"The Evil Nature Sacrificial Ceremony will now officially begin."
[Your Causality Reflector, Liao Xing, is about to fall into an extremely dangerous situation for him — — if he does not survive, both of you will die here]
"Begin!"
All the glowing text quickly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan stood up and said, "Let's go. We have to go out and see the situation first."
Liao Xing followed him out of the room.
The two of them went downstairs to the front desk of the hotel and met the blonde woman again.
"Do you want to check out? Sir? "
She stood behind the counter and asked.
"No, I'm just going out for a walk — –"
Liao Xing smiled: "Madam, I know I'm being a bit impulsive, but I still have to tell you from the bottom of my heart, you look extremely beautiful today"
"Thank you" the woman smiled and replied.
Liao Xing nodded and prepared to leave.
"Sir, where do you want to go?" the woman hesitantly asked.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly spoke up: "I want a map"
Liao Xing was surprised.
— — -right, I still need to ask for a map before.
He smiled and politely asked: "This is our first time in this city, so we wanted to take a stroll around, but we're not familiar with the roads, do you have a map for sale here?"
"I do" the woman took out a map and showed it to him.
"Madam, I already have this map, I'm sorry"
"It's fine, please go to another shop to buy more detailed maps, have a good time"
"Thank you"
As Liao Xing left the hotel, he froze.
Outside the hotel wasn't the long street from before, but a sea of darkness.
He couldn't see anything.
"What kind of situation is this?" Liao Xing asked without changing his expression.
"I'm not sure, I can only tell you that the map just now is completely different from the one from last time" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What the hell, I can't see anything, what am I supposed to do in a situation like this?" Liao Xing was a bit panicked.
Gu Qing Shan's expression slowly turned serious.
— — -this kind of evil sacrifice has completely abandoned fairness, it's a sacrificial ritual designed solely to kill.
Couldn't win, so they resorted to underhanded means?
Liao Xing is only a normal person, what can he do in a situation like this?
"— — -Liao Xing"
"What?"
Gu Qing Shan lowered her voice and whispered: "Listen, even if the evil demon took away all of your strength and made everything return to how it was before, it couldn't take away your memories and knowledge — — in other words, you still have the battle experience of a cultivator"
"I know what you're saying, I'm currently using my max level main account to level up again — — - but this place has become too eerie" Liao Xing replied.
"Let's return to the hotel, we need to gather some information first" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Good idea" Liao Xing agreed.
As he turned around, he found that the hotel behind him had also disappeared into the darkness.
The hotel is gone!
Liao Xing's expression changed, trying to take a few steps back and tried to touch the door of the hotel.
But it was empty.
— — -other than where he was standing, the entire world had turned to darkness.
Suddenly, the nine-faced Insect Demon's voice came again:
「 How is it? Gu Qing Shan, are you going to die this time? 」
"He's only a normal person, what you're doing is completely lacking in competitive spirit" Gu Qing Shan casually said.
The nine-faced Insect Demon let out a triumphant cry:
「 This is the Dark Prison! If you can survive this prison, I'll concede! 」
Gu Qing Shan scowled and asked: "Really?"
「 Of course — — 」 as soon as the nine-faced Insect Demon said that, he went silent for a few moments before continuing:
「 If you can survive, I'll concede, but I still won't stop this Heretic Art. I'll reactivate it and think of another way to keep going against you until you're completely destroyed, Gu Qing Shan! 」
"That's cheating, you're not a pixie, how boring" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
He suddenly noticed that the nine-faced Insect Demon's body was trembling.
Trembling?
Why is it trembling?
「 Enjoy your despair, Gu Qing Shan, you and your companions will never be able to leave this Heretic Art again … 」
The nine-faced Insect Demon spoke in a low voice as its body slowly retreated.
It disappeared into the darkness.
Liao Xing looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan gave him a reassuring look and said: "It's fine"
"That's fine!? We can't leave anymore, brother! "Liao Xing exclaimed in disbelief.
"There's actually a problem here" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What is it?" Liao Xing asked.
"The entire Heretic Art was defeated by us, that's why it can start again"
"Yes"
"Then, if we don't defeat the Heretic Art, we'll first make you stronger than ever, so strong that you can defeat the entire Heretic Art, then everything will still end"
Liao Xing sighed in relief.
No matter what, Gu Qing Shan will always be able to find a way.
Even if the chances are slim — — -
But that's still hope, at least it'll give them something to look forward to, at least they won't fall into despair and madness because of the endless darkness.
"To become that strong … can I do it?" Liao Xing asked.
"Of course" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Alright, I've already become a cultivator, so fighting isn't a problem for me" Liao Xing patted his chest.
The two of them went silent.
"Don't say anything, just listen" Gu Qing Shan said.
From the darkness behind Liao Xing, a hair-raising rustling sound could be heard.
"Gu Qing Shan …"
"Hm?"
"… At the start, how about you do it instead?"
"Alright"
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward, turned around, and assumed a defensive stance, cautiously looking towards the direction of the sound.
Liao Xing also did the same.
A few moments later, a pair of lanterns appeared in the darkness.
"Ahaha, is this the Evil Sacrifice trying to find a balance? Giving us two lanterns? "
Liao Xing calmed down and smiled.
Gu Qing Shan shouted in a low voice: "Danger, run!"
He turned around and quickly ran away with Liao Xing.
"Hey, there's lanterns! It's not too late to run after taking them! "Liao Xing shouted.
"Those are the monster's eyeballs" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What!?" Liao Xing exclaimed in shock.
While running, Gu Qing Shan glanced at the glowing text in front of her:
[You've entered a certain room of the Dark Prison, this is a unique miniature Plane World]
[Attention, the only fair aspect of this Evil Sacrifice is that the demon you encounter at the start is 10 times stronger than a normal person]
[— — -that's all]
The text flashed and disappeared.
A difference of 10 times in strength.
Which means … Liao Xing's life and death will be decided in an instant.
Even with Gu Qing Shan's capabilities, she can't be sure that they can win this battle.
But I have to win.
If I don't win, everything will be over!
The rustling sound behind her became more urgent, getting closer and closer.
So fast!
Followed by a putrid stench — — -
I can't escape!
Gu Qing Shan abruptly stopped, twisted her body, changed her footsteps, and struck the middle of the two lanterns with her palm.
Liao Xing followed suit — — -
At the very next moment.
Darkness returned to silence.
Silence.
Liao Xing maintained his striking posture and froze in place.
Because Gu Qing Shan stopped.
A light breeze blew, carrying a faint fragrance.
A female voice resounded in the darkness:
[Bullying others like this is a bit unforgivable]
As soon as she said so, lines of glowing text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[A powerful entity whose strength surpasses the current era has descended upon you]
[She stopped the demon's attack]
[She used a certain Mystery from the past to break through the seal of the Evil Sacrifice and directly entered this Evil Sacrifice to become your companion]
[In exchange, Liao Xing will immediately leave this Evil Sacrifice and be replaced by her]
Light.
Golden light illuminated the surroundings.
Gu Qing Shan saw a young girl standing in front of her, lightly touching the demon's head with a single finger.
The demon didn't dare to move at all.
The young girl abruptly gave off a sky-high light that dispelled all the darkness in this world.
The monsters hidden in the darkness let out high-pitched roars of terror, as if they had sensed something extremely terrifying, and fled in the direction of the two of them.
"Let me reintroduce myself, I am the Apostle of the Earth Era, Luo Bingli"
She turned to look at him and said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"Sure, you wouldn't fall asleep again while fighting, would you?" he asked.
"I won't"
"Really?"
"Really"
