A gentle mountain breeze rustled through the air, carrying an unusual chill.
"Old hag, prepare to die." Jiang Nan sneered, his body turning into a blur as he flashed past.
His divine body erupted, his blood energy surged, and he transformed into a ferocious humanoid beast.
The old woman doesn't seem to be here.
That's not right either.
His formation collapsed without warning, like a dream or a bubble, after he had fully comprehended it; it didn't collapse little by little.
The old woman shouldn't have noticed anything and should have run away beforehand.
With so many arrangements, she wouldn't just run away after a brief confrontation, would she?
The old woman thought she was very confident.
"Hmm?" Jiang Nan's expression suddenly changed as he continued his search.
The smell of blood is so strong.
"Girl." Jiangnan's afterimage whistled, and they had already arrived at the old woman's breeding ground for Gu.
What a sight this is!
Everywhere was a scene of devastation, broken pieces everywhere, rivers of blood, and countless severed limbs...
Hell on earth.
The girl doesn't have much strength; all she has is her previous hard work and physical abilities, which are comparable to those of the Bitter Sea.
We now know that this was the result of the old woman deliberately leaving the ingredients to cultivate.
I thought she genuinely cared about and admired the girl.
That doesn't make sense. Jiangnan seemed to have left the formation very quickly, but it seems like quite some time has passed outside.
The flow rates of time are different on both sides?
Jiangnan cautiously investigated, but his heart grew increasingly cold.
Especially at times like these, we must not be careless.
That old hag is very cunning; I hope she's not up to her old tricks again.
The area where Gu were raised was very large, and some of the so-called Gu insects and beasts were actually quite large and very ferocious.
Along the way, all Jiangnan saw were the remains and fragments of various monsters.
What a brutal battle this was.
Is the girl here?
Jiangnan is a place I dare not even think about.
The girl has always worked very hard, and he started learning late, so he also needs to work hard to improve.
So they each went on to cultivate themselves.
As his strength grew, Jiang Nan stopped caring much about these elders.
The girl has her own path, and it seems he can't interfere too much.
I've been hesitating about this for a while.
Now... is this her path, or a variable resulting from his influence?
"Old woman!" Jiang Nan quickly sensed the old woman's presence and rushed over.
Then we arrived at a broken open space.
Jiangnan was filled with murderous intent, and then he was somewhat bewildered.
The old woman, is she dead?
The old woman lay in a pool of blood, her body covered in wounds, especially a large hole in her chest; she had long since lost all hope of survival.
Even on his deathbed, he remained disbelieving and unwilling to accept his fate.
“Girl…” Jiang Nan saw the girl in the pit next to him.
With a swift movement, he was over there.
The girl was covered in blood and wounds, making her almost unrecognizable.
Thankfully, it's intact, without any fragments.
Looking at the girl's mangled body, Jiangnan felt only heartache and anger.
He was careless... but...
The Empress's life was filled with sorrow, and she was an enemy of heaven and earth; perhaps this was her destiny.
This is just the beginning.
Only in this way can one rise from adversity and become a true ruthless emperor.
Jiangnan carefully helped him up.
At that moment, darkness, engulfment, malevolent energy, ferocity, madness... in short, an indescribable ferocity and destructive madness swept in.
The heavens and earth were plunged into darkness, and even the divine senses were plunged into darkness.
It had an immense impact on both my mind and body.
The girl suddenly opened her eyes, which were blood red and seemed to devour people, as if she were in a cycle of hell.
Chapter Thirty-Six: The Will to Devour Heaven
The girl produced a beastly fang from who-knows-where; its sharp, eerie gleam was incredibly menacing, and it was already aimed at Jiang Nan's neck.
These are all subconscious backlashes.
In the battle between the Gu Kings, it's a fight to the death; only slaughter can leave one alive.
Moreover, the girl's strength was unprecedented, and her attacks were incredibly intimidating.
Black hole, devouring, extreme, slaughter.
If Jiang Nan hadn't possessed a powerful divine body and abundant blood energy, he too would have been shocked and his consciousness would have been momentarily sluggish.
This could easily lead to infection.
However, before Jiangnan could stop her, the girl stopped.
The blood-red eyes struggled, and the hands trembled. The devouring black hole became increasingly chaotic, unstable itself, unstable around it, the black hole roared, sand and stones flew, and black clouds rolled.
The girl looked at Jiangnan, her hand still raised, wanting to attack, but then stopping... Her killing intent and ferocity grew increasingly chaotic.
This is a killing frenzy. The last remaining consciousness recognizes him, but all must die. This is the law of this place... something is clashing in consciousness.
Girls have strong wills, that's for sure.
Bloodshot eyes, filled with a devouring madness, gradually softened, then turned cold, and then...
Jiangnan's unconventional thinking and ideas all show that the girl still acknowledges him.
This is a struggle against one's own mad, murderous intent.
Jiangnan felt only heartache and pain as she watched.
How did this girl manage to survive such a brush with death?
Jiangnan no longer guarded up, gently picked up the girl, and got up to leave.
The girl's blood-red eyes were sharp. The attack approached again, but in the end, it softened and she turned her head to the side and fainted.
In a place where Gu poison is raised, only one can survive, so she held back and gave up.
Much of this place was already broken, and some of the layout rules were no longer in place.
Jiangnan analyzed the Origin Heaven Yin Yang Array and saw through it at a glance, then stepped out.
The sect's forces have been unleashing a series of powerful attacks, clearly indicating that they discovered something after the Yuantian Formation was broken.
Jiangnan didn't linger; taking care of the girl was the priority.
With a flash of movement, Tanlang disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Jiang Nan had just left when the sect leader of Shenxu Cave and a group of elders arrived.
"Elder Ying...is dead?" The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Hmph, the thief hasn't gone far. Chase after him," the Divine Void Sect Leader snorted.
He had been secretly watching Elder Poppy for a long time. Had someone gotten there first? He couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
After everyone left, True Gu Peak became even more desolate.
No one noticed that Elder Poppy's corpse and remains on the ground were gradually beginning to wriggle...
Time slips away quietly.
Deep in the rocky mountains, in a remote place.
Jiangnan gently placed the girl on the grass.
