Chapter 189 - 189: A Mysterious Creature
The wasteland was now a world of ice and snow, as if it was paradise found in a cave.
In fact, if one looked carefully, they could see endless death energy permeating the air. It was as if the gates of hell had been opened, and many ghosts had scattered everyvvhere.
When the space beasts ran amok, they still had a trace of life. And now, there was nothing left.
A grayish-white vortex condensed above the ruined city. On the land, the remaining divine rune power fragments were attracted by the vortex and guided to the city center. In that place was an ancient altar.
At the center of the altar, Diqin Naxi floated in the air. The vortex continued to absorb the fragments of divine rune power into her body.
Multicolored lights continuously appeared around her. However, if one looked closely, they would notice that the divine light around her body carried a faint black aura.
After a long time, the wilderness gradually returned to normal.
The traces of the space beasts that once wreaked havoc could no longer be seen. It was as if everything was normal and nothing had happened.
On the altar, Diqin Naxi slowly woke up.
“What’s wrong with me? The power in my body!”
Sensing the boundless divine rune power radiating from her body, her eyes lit up.
“Whose hand was that from the wormhole?”
She only remembered that she was rescued by a large hand and then lost consciousness. But now, she felt stronger than ever.
The divine rune power she felt was endless. This feeling made her addicted.
“This
Diqin Naxi felt the changes in her body in astonishment. She immediately activated her divine rune, the roars of countless creatures shaking her soul. It was the sound of begging, wailing, and pain. “Wonderful!”
A strange smile appeared on her face.
She didn’t remember having such a hobby, but at this moment, she really felt wonderful. Wisps of black flames floated around her. With just a thought, she could burn everything she didn’t want to see.
“So it turns out that divine runes can be used like this!”
After absorbing the divine rune power fragments, Diqin Naxi realized that she could use some of the space beasts’ abilities.
Furthermore, the more divine runes she absorbed, the more powerful the innate techniques she could use.
“Changkong, give me time. I will kill Gu Changqing and avenge you. I will kill all the people on Blue Star and bury them with you!”
After discovering her new powers, Diqin Naxi was overjoyed, and her face became even more enchanting.
“Kekeke!”
All of a sudden, strange laughter echoed throughout the city.
“Who is it?”
Diqin Naxi was alert, and black lotuses of fire appeared around her. However, soul-piercing white mist suddenly enveloped her body.
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands roaming around her figure.
A sense of helplessness and fear spread in her heart. The great power that she had suddenly gained was completely useless at this moment.
Soon, the white mist seemed to have lost its interest and left her body, turning into a man covered in mist.
The man’s face was deathly pale, and he seemed to carry an endless aura of death.
“A body full of warmth is really fascinating!”
The man seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory, and his expression was even a little dazed.
Diqin Naxi was burning with anger. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
However, in front of the other party’s absolute strength, she did not even have the chance to resist. Gradually, she calmed down.
She looked at the white figure again, and her eyes lit up.
Southern Universe.
In Blue Star, Kunlun Mountain.
Xu Shiqing was bored to death, a few golden runes wrapping around her fingers. As if sensing something, the runes suddenly spun rapidly.
Soon, they disappeared into the void.
“Why did Diqin Naxi’s aura suddenly disappear?”
She was puzzled and gathered a few more runes to start another divination. A moment later, her expression became extremely intrigued.
“What happened to this woman? Why were there so many chaotic auras that she couldn’t even find her own aura? Was she playing some kind of multi-sport?”
Xu Shiqing shivered, but the expression on her face revealed her curious feelings at this moment.
Universe City, in Chaoge.
Gu Changqing returned to the city center.
Hidden Prison Evil Emperor sat beside the Nine-Colored Demoness.
L9527 looked at the two of them warily, as if afraid that they would escape.
After scouting the entire city again, Gu Changqing found nothing. He summoned Huang Di and opened the training space for him. On the other hand, he went to guard the Rebirth Bridge.
After a full 15 days,
Huang Di, Zhang Hu and the others had been challenging the training space without rest. In the end, they obtained a total of 10,000 high-purity divine rune energy crystals.
After using a few hundred of them, Huang Di’s potential index reached 28,000. However, just like Gu Changqing, he only gained very little.
After Zhang Hu and the others used a batch of crystals, their potential index broke through 20,000, but the effect was also minimal.
During this time, the Nine-Colored Demoness woke up, but she could not remember arriving on the stone platform.
Hidden Prison Evil Emperor wanted to leave with her, but Gu Changqing stopped him. If he could help her recover her memory, he might be able to uncover the secret of her past.
What kind of past did that man named Di Xin have?
All kinds of questions lingered in Gu Changqing’s mind. At the moment, there was no point in staying in Chaoge City.
It was better to continue exploring. The 12 main cities were so big, and the time Universe City would stay open was limited. There was no need to stay in one place for longer.
With Gu Changqing’s permission, Hidden Prison Evil Emperor brought the Nine-Colored Demoness and followed behind the former.
After leaving Chaoge City, they headed to the next main city, Luoshui.
Outside the Rebirth Bridge, someone dared to go on it, but soon found that Gu Changqing and the others were no longer in the city.
“They’ve left. Let’s hurry into the city!”
The Rebirth Bridge was overcrowded. However, something unexpected happened.
Chaoge City had an invisible barrier, which prevented everyone from entering. “Gu Changqing, if you eat meat, you have to leave some soup for us to drink!” “Let’s work together and see if we can break this damn barrier!”
However, just as the Divine Runemasters were about to join forces and make their move, L9527 appeared.
After killing two people, he guarded the Rebirth Bridge with his sword, preventing the rest of the Divine Runemasters from entering Chaoge.
Before Gu Changqing left, he had asked L9527 to continue protecting the city.
When Universe City was about to close, he would come back and take L95 away to see what the outside world was like.
After leaving Chaoge City, the land was no longer a bare wasteland and desert. Gu Changqing could feel the scent of vitality in the air.
However, after flying for a long time, he did not see a single space beast. Everywhere he looked, there was only hazy white fog.
In his divine sense, he couldn’t sense the aura of any other city except Chaoge City, which he had already taken control of.
All of this made the road ahead even more mysterious and treacherous..
