The space vortex.
A gigantic, invisible entity was avoiding the densely packed monsters and traveling on the most secluded path.
Since this flight path didn't lead to the seven Holy Churches, nor did it lead to any of the bustling ports, nor did it lead to the rare Super Dimensional worlds within the Strife Zones, on this special day, there were basically no monsters or flying vehicles on this flight path.
"Boss, everything is normal up ahead"
"Boss, everything is normal on both sides of the path"
"A void monster appeared behind us, but it was only passing by, it's currently heading in another direction"
A few reports sounded in the spaceship one after another.
A few moments later, a hoarse voice asked: "How much longer until we reach Greyhan Black Market?"
"We've entered Greyhan Black Market's secret path, we'll arrive in about an hour" someone replied.
The hoarse voice then ordered: "From now on, everyone be on high alert — — - this damned black market is always more dangerous than any other black market"
Following this order, the atmosphere inside the ship became tense.
The hoarse voice continued: "Furthermore, the five trash ships that we've dragged back, go search them and see if there's anything good inside"
"Yes, boss"
The order was quickly carried out.
Five squads had already been picked out, so as soon as the captain gave the order, they went into the five wrecked ships behind them and began to search for anything worth selling.
Two men and a woman also went into the technology-type ship that Gu Qing Shan was on.
They began to seriously search for goods.
— — -this was a familiar business, so there shouldn't be any issues.
Gu Qing Shan also felt that there were no issues.
Earlier, he had carefully released his inner sight to check the situation of the ship and the people in front of him.
From the looks of it, the wreck of this ship seemed to have been captured by a group of people who specialized in collecting trash from the void.
To be able to do such a dangerous and unrewarding job in the void, these people were most likely at the bottom of the Strife Zones.
Their strength was also a good indication of this point.
Aside from the hoarse voice of the captain, Gu Qing Shan subconsciously didn't release his inner sight to check him.
Everyone else was scanned by him.
These people were about the same level of strength as Gu Qing Shan.
After checking, Gu Qing Shan felt assured.
— — He had never been afraid of anyone of the same strength.
As long as they were careful of the captain, there wouldn't be any problems.
At this moment, he was still in the form of an ant egg and continued to hide in the depths of the spaceship wreckage.
There were two reasons why he had remained motionless.
Firstly, Gu Qing Shan had only just entered the Strife Zones, so she hadn't even grasped the most basic method to cross worlds yet, so she might as well follow them.
Secondly, after passing the first Karmic Tribulation, his cultivation began to skyrocket.
In the Tribulation realm, he had to face a total of three karmic tribulations.
After passing the first Karmic Retribution, Gu Qing Shan would reach Tribulation middle stage.
After passing the second Karmic Retribution, he would become a Tribulation late-stage cultivator.
After passing the 3rd Karmic Adversity, he doesn't even need to face the Heaven's Tribulation and will directly enter the Virtualized realm.
However, the third Karmic Tribulation was exceptionally dangerous. It could be long or short. Sometimes, even though you felt that you had passed it, it actually wasn't over.
For some people, after advancing to Virtualized realm, their Karmic Retribution still had a chance to counterattack.
Gu Qing Shan had read many books in the Suspended world, as well as some of the cultivation notes that Shifu gave him. Now that he thought about it, Qi Yan's death might have been related to his 3rd Karmic Retribution.
Perhaps at the time, Qi Yan's Karmic Retribution wasn't over yet.
He shouldn't have come to Shen Wu world as soon as he broke through.
Because of that, Gu Qing Shan, who had just passed the first Karmic Retribution, didn't have any plans to do anything.
He was prepared to continue hiding.
Only when the ship landed would he finish stabilizing his cultivation, then find a chance to sneak off the ship.
From then on, he would try to come into contact with the world of the Strife Zones, learn about the Strife Zones, as well as the ways to survive.
This was Gu Qing Shan's plan.
— — -but the development of events, or rather, the fate of every person, doesn't always follow the wishes of their hearts.
Inside the wreckage of the spaceship.
"Dear, come take a look" the girl in charge of searching called out.
Of the two men, the slightly fatter one walked up and asked: "What is it? There shouldn't be any treasures in a ship of this size "
"Of course there wouldn't be any treasures, it's just that I can't open this box, so I called for your help" the girl held his hand and said coquettishly.
The man looked at the shape and details of the box and quickly understood.
He smiled: "I didn't think my luck would be so good, the things inside this box should be quite good"
"How do you know?" the girl asked.
"Because this is a box that's been programmed to self-destruct, if you try to break it without knowing the password, the things inside will be destroyed by a miniature bomb" the man explained.
"I'm guessing you'll have a way" the girl smiled and said.
"Of course, I'm a Devil Summoner, I only need to use my unique summoning ability to travel through space and directly summon the things inside" the man pridefully said.
The girl looked at him with a look of admiration: "Your summoning ability has always been very rare, from now on, we'll have to depend on you"
"Don't worry, dear, once I earn enough money, I'll definitely take you on the highest-grade ship to the Holy Church of Life to light your Tree of Divinity!"
Saying so, the man crouched down in front of the box.
He put his hand on the box and silently activated his unique summoning ability.
7-8 faint shadows reached out from his arm, like the tentacles of an octopus, and went inside the box.
This was the power of summoning a devil, so it wasn't too hard to use it to travel through the thin layer of the box.
The man scowled and focused on checking the things inside the box. Suddenly — — -
His mouth was covered, and a dagger protruded from his heart.
The man opened his eyes wide and struggled.
Only to see the dagger being pulled back.
A hand went through his chest, grabbed his heart, and crushed it.
The man froze, stopped struggling, and fell to the ground.
With the power of a Devil Summoner, he didn't die right away — — but it wouldn't take too long.
"Wang Cheng, you're finally dead"
A male voice came from behind him.
The man on the ground struggled to look up, only to see a scene that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
His woman was leaning on the chest of another man, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the dagger.
The man lowered his head to look at him on the ground and said with a smile, "Lovers are finally together. Brother Wang, you can rest in peace now."
The man he called Wang Cheng spat up some blood and spoke with a weak voice: "Boss wouldn't — — -"
"Don't worry, I've already told the first mate and second mate of the ship, I've also given them enough money, they've already covered up for me"
Wang Cheng's eyes were bleeding as he stared at the woman without saying anything.
The woman pursed her lips: "Old Wang, don't blame me, you're just too useless. I've been with you for so long, yet you can't even come up with enough money to travel to the Holy Church of Life"
The man hugged her and smiled: "Brother Wang, don't worry, the money you have, together with our savings, it's more than enough for us to go to the Holy Church of Life, you can rest in peace"
Wang Cheng looked at the man, then at the woman, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Even as a summoner who dealt with devils and devils, he could already feel his life rapidly slipping away.
He was going to die.
But he wasn't willing!
— — -at some unknown point, perhaps while he was talking, Wang Cheng had already used his blood to draw a hasty pattern on the ground.
He used the last of his remaining power to activate his most powerful summoning technique.
But the man and woman in front of him only coldly stared at this.
The man hugged the woman in his arms tightly, smiled and shook his head: "Before we came in, I've already asked the second mate to arrange a holy barrier around the ruins of the ship, your summoning technique won't be able to break through"
The woman's expression was a bit complicated as she muttered: "Wang Cheng, after so many years, we know you too well"
Wang Cheng also sensed the situation she was talking about.
His summoning technique had been completely sealed inside the ship by a holy power.
He was filled with indescribable sorrow and unwillingness.
Even if I die, I'll do everything I can before dying!
Wang Cheng wiped the tears of blood from his face and roared as he finished reciting the summoning contract:
"Regardless of which world's devil or devil you are, as long as you can avenge me, I am willing to offer all of my experience, knowledge, skills, and wealth to you"
"I am willing to fall into eternal darkness, to suffer endless curses, to turn my soul into the purest Soul Points and offer it all to you!"
"Now, please appear in front of me and avenge me!"
Boom!
A huge grey shadow spread out from his body in all directions.
The man and woman couldn't help but take a step back.
The man shook his head and casually spoke: "It's useless, your technique won't be able to escape, and no one will know of your death"
As he spoke, the grey shadow gathered again, enveloped Wang Cheng's body, then gathered in his palm.
This was the sign that the summoning technique had succeeded.
"Impossible, how could his technique still work!?" the woman screamed in fear.
The man next to her couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, so he leapt forward and swung his dagger with all his might.
A cold gleam.
Wang Cheng's arm was cut off.
The man was still not convinced, so he cut off Wang Cheng's other arm, then both of his legs.
"Hoh — – let's see how you're going to deal with me now" the man breathed heavily.
Wang Cheng didn't pay any attention to the man.
Because he was already at the end of his rope, only half a breath left.
He tried his best to maintain the last bit of his consciousness to wait — — -
— – wait for the Law of Summoning to give him information about the devil or devil he summoned.
A few moments later.
Wang Cheng finally breathed out his last breath.
He struggled to speak: "Huang Quan … Devil … King … I beg you …"
His voice was cut off.
His bloodshot eyes were wide open as he died.
Fortunately, the summoning technique didn't stop.
The grey shadows that he gathered with all of his summoning power turned into a mystical rune and exploded.
Boom — — -
