Gu Qing Shan stood in the dark passage and fell into thought.
The intense wind was blowing at his body.
In reality, the wind had already weakened to the point that it was extremely weak by the time it reached him.
The further he went, the stronger the wind became, able to pierce through the [Black Smog Armor] and harm the Divine King's body.
Gu Qing Shan understood that he couldn't go any further.
— — -if only Shannu was here.
He sighed.
In this dark passage, Shannu could use the Six Paths Great Mountain sword's [Invincible] Thaumaturgy to move forward and see what was inside for me.
As for the Lord of Total Distortion, he could sacrifice the lives and souls of his subordinates to temporarily gain more power and continue forward.
Shannu isn't here, and I don't have any subordinates, so I can't sacrifice them, so I can only stop here.
A few moments later, the wind stopped.
Gu Qing Shan silently counted.
When he reached 30, the wind started to blow again.
20 breaths.
The wind stopped.
Another 30 breaths.
The wind started to blow again.
The entire process was repeating itself in a regular pattern.
A regular pattern …
Could this be a fixed mechanism?
I have 30 breaths to use, can I make it through the dark passage in that time?
The downside is that my inner sight can't leave my body too far, so [Ground Shrink] and [Shadow Shift] can't be used here.
This wind can easily harm the Divine King, so I wonder how powerful its source is.
Perhaps I can't even make it through.
…
That can't be right.
There must be a way, otherwise the Lord of Total Distortion wouldn't have made so many preparations just to enter this place.
Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about it.
When the wind started to blow again, he tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the gourd Adorable.
"Can you steal this wind and use it?"
Gu Qing Shan asked with a glimmer of hope.
Wu wu? Wu wu wu!
(What do you mean steal? I never steal anything!)
The gourd angrily replied.
"Fine, I was wrong, can you borrow or learn this wind?" Gu Qing Shan corrected himself.
The gourd Adorable twisted its body and hovered in the air, silently feeling the wind blowing through the passage.
Wu wu wu, wu, wu wu wu wu.
(It's actually possible. Strange, I shouldn't be able to use naturally occurring elemental phenomena.)
Adorable asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
The gourd could borrow other people's skills.
In other words, this wind had a history and was not naturally formed.
If this gust of wind was some kind of spell, then there must be someone standing at the end of the dark passage, constantly casting it.
This passageway had existed for who knew how many years. Could it be that there had always been someone at the end of the passageway, constantly casting spells?
That didn't make sense.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the pitch-black tunnel, and a strong sense of curiosity welled up in her heart.
In the end, he decided to give it a try.
"Adorable, you can unleash your Thaumaturgy three times in a row, right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The jade gourd pendant Adorable replied: [If I use [Hundred Lanterns] or [Borrow Qian Kun] three times in a row in a short period of time, I will turn into a gourd seed. Even if I grow it again, I can only use [Flawless Jade] for an hour]
At that moment, the wind in the dark passage had just turned into the strongest gale.
Gu Qing Shan was surrounded by a fierce wind.
"Three times is enough, hide behind me, let's go!" he immediately decided.
— — the wind would only blow for a total of 20 breaths' worth of time, so it was currently at its strongest. In the next 10 breaths' worth of time, it would gradually weaken.
And the wind would stop blowing for 30 breaths' worth of time.
Then from this point, I'll have 40 breaths' worth of time!
Gu Qing Shan's figure turned into a flash of lightning, flying through the dark passage as fast as she could.
Sure enough, the wind slowly weakened until it stopped.
10 breaths' worth of time were up!
Gu Qing Shan was running at full speed!
An afterimage flashed through the dark tunnel and soon surpassed the Sacrificial Ground that they had encountered before.
30 breaths' worth of time left!
Time silently passed.
Gu Qing Shan remained silent and pushed the speed of a Paragon realm cultivator to its limits.
Finally, it was time.
He still hadn't made it out of this long dark passage!
The wind picked up again.
A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it a sense of warmth.
If someone who didn't know the truth felt this wind, they wouldn't be able to predict how terrifying it would become in just a few breaths' worth of time.
Xiu xiu xiu?
(Do you want me to borrow the wind?)
The gourd Adorable asked.
"No, the wind here isn't that strong, I should be able to deal with it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Last time, it was because he didn't know anything that the wind cut his face.
Now that he knew how strong the wind was, Gu Qing Shan naturally had a few thoughts about it.
The gourd's Thaumaturgy was extremely precious, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't use it so easily.
Gu Qing Shan slowly crouched down and laid down.
He was trying his best to stick his body to the wall of the passage, forming the smallest possible point of contact with the wind blowing from the front.
Right after that, he began to unleash his technique.
Thick layers of frost manifested from thin air, enveloping Gu Qing Shan's body.
These layers of frost formed a sharp, curved shell of ice that completely fused with the wall and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
Since Gu Qing Shan was sticking close to the wall and lying on the ground, only a small portion of the wind blowing from the depths of the passage managed to reach the shell of ice.
Although the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the area of contact with the shell of ice was still very small. Furthermore, due to the perfect, curved, curved shell of ice, the wind was able to quickly pass through it.
Of course, the wind was still very terrifying. The shell of ice was still being peeled away by the wind, and the rate at which it was peeling away was also increasing.
As the shell of ice was about to be completely peeled away, Gu Qing Shan acted.
He was currently the God of Frost and Chill, so the frost produced by his full-power Frost techniques was extremely powerful.
Very quickly, a new layer of ice manifested on the surface of his body!
Under the intense wind, the shell of ice rapidly shrunk, then quickly returned to its original form under the support of Gu Qing Shan's frost.
After going back and forth a few times, the gale finally passed the strongest point and began to slowly weaken.
Gu Qing Shan had succeeded!
As the wind grew weaker and weaker, he abruptly jumped up, broke through the shell of ice, and continued to fly forward.
"How impressive, it used up most of my power. Adorable, I'll have to rely on you the next time the wind blows" Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
Wu wu! The jade gourd pendant Adorable responded.
Gu Qing Shan gained another 30 breaths' worth of time.
He exerted all of his strength and continued to fly forward.
At a certain point, dozens of skeletons flashed past him.
Obviously, the Lord of Total Distortion couldn't go any further after reaching that point.
He once again performed a sacrificial ritual.
Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to look at those skeletons.
Because in just 10 breaths' worth of time, the terrifying wind would once again blow!
Full speed ahead.
Full speed ahead.
Even though he was running as fast as he could.
Even though he had already crossed an extremely long distance.
There was still no end to the dark passage.
30 breaths' worth of time passed.
Within the dark passage, a light breeze slowly drifted by.
Wu wu?
(Me?)
The jade gourd pendant Adorable asked.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought for a split second.
— — regardless of who or what kind of entity was unleashing this technique, they shouldn't be a living being or sentient being.
Because using wind to block the passage and unleashing spells without stopping was something that even the strongest of cultivators wouldn't be able to sustain for countless years.
… Or perhaps, that entity had already surpassed the scope of my knowledge.
But the gourd pendant Adorable's ability allows me to borrow their Skills.
This is a Mystic-type power that transcends strength. If I really do run into an extremely powerful enemy at the end of the passage, the only thing I can rely on is the gourd pendant Adorable.
I can't use it carelessly!
Gu Qing Shan drew her sword and slashed at the wall with all her might.
Clang — — -
A sharp screeching sound of friction could be heard as sparks flew from the wall.
Not good, the wall is too sturdy!
That makes sense — — - if the wall wasn't this sturdy, how could it have stopped that kind of wind?
Gu Qing Shan gritted her teeth.
Is there really no other way?
The wind was getting stronger and stronger.
At this place, she could already sense a certain sense of destruction within the wind.
Although it wasn't the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation, this wind still contained enough power to kill a Divine King!
Another cut appeared on Gu Qing Shan's body.
The cut on the [Black Smog Armor] was sharp and smooth, as if it couldn't be blocked at all.
Gu Qing Shan didn't notice it at all and was quickly thinking.
— — I can't wait any longer.
Is there really no other way?
Unfortunately, this wall is too sturdy, I can't even break it with my full strength …
Wait a minute.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He reached his hand into the void of space.
A card that was emitting a dazzling red glow appeared in his hand.
[Rare item: True Crimson Demon Spear]
[Equipping this demon spear will prevent the user from equipping any other armor]
[This demon spear has the Law property: Absolute Sharpness.
[Description: This was the first weapon created by the Old Gods to be able to harm themselves]
"Unstoppable!"
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the Card and flicked it.
At the very next moment.
A spear enveloped in boundless crimson light appeared from the void of space and was grasped in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
The armor on Gu Qing Shan's body turned into a mass of black fog that quickly scattered with the wind.
— — as soon as the demon spear appeared in his hand, the [Black Smog Armor] broke apart.
"Hah!"
Gu Qing Shan didn't care about that and roared in fury.
The crimson light flickered again and again, cutting through everything as easily as tofu.
A large hole was quickly cut through the wall.
The wind had already become violent.
The side of Gu Qing Shan's body that was facing the wind was cut countless times, bleeding profusely.
I can't wait any longer!
Gu Qing Shan wielded the [True Crimson Demon Spear] and leapt into the hole in the wall.
For the sake of caution, he used a [Telekinesis] to reseal the broken rocks at the entrance of the hole, then used the hardest layer of ice to make them as good as new.
At this point, the wind had reached its peak.
Hoh — — —
The gale let out a mournful howl, destroying everything in the dark tunnel.
