Gu Ding Pirate Crew's Excessive Exposure

The uniformed man realized he'd been tricked into revealing information by Gu Ding again, and flew into a rage. His hands rapidly formed hand seals, and the entire warehouse instantly transformed into a phantom starry sky.

"No matter how cunning you are, you will die here today." The uniformed man's seemingly ordinary face held a sinister smile.

"Not necessarily," Gu Ding said calmly as he stood up.

"It seems you don't know where this place is," the uniformed man smiled smugly. "This is the space banished by the Void Illusion Giant Python. Did you think the warehouse you just stepped into was really a warehouse? You just stepped into the mouth of the Void Illusion Giant Python. The warehouse you saw before was just an illusion."

"So what?" Gu Ding asked, staring at the other person.

"That way you won't be able to escape." The uniformed man thought that Gu Ding didn't understand what it meant to be banished by the Void Illusion Giant Python, so he explained further.

"Who told you I was going to run away?" Gu Ding's face showed no sign of panic, but rather a mocking expression. "This is a great fighting location, and there's no need to worry about damaging anything."

"Strange, why isn't this guy afraid at all?" The uniformed man was immediately puzzled. "Could it be that he knew from the beginning that this was inside the Void Illusion Giant Python?!"

The uniformed man was right; the Sea Emperor had detected from afar that it was a Void Illusion Giant Python. Gu Ding already knew what he would encounter before he even stepped inside.

Seeing that Gu Ding showed no fear, the uniformed man panicked slightly and quickly attacked Gu Ding first. His five fingers formed a claw, and a Blood-colored Giant Hand condensed in the void, clamping down on Gu Ding.

Gu Ding's figure swayed. He pointed a finger out, and a colorless ripple spread out. Under the vibration of the ripple, the Blood-colored Giant Hand exploded and disintegrated.

The uniformed man was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected Gu Ding to be so powerful. After dispelling his attack with a single finger, Gu Ding had actually closed in on him.

After closing in, Gu Ding unleashed a powerful punch, unleashing a torrent of black, violent divine energy that roared through the void, forming an incomparably domineering shockwave that hurtled towards the uniformed man.

The uniformed man couldn't dodge in time and could only desperately try to block with his arms. He was instantly engulfed by the shockwave. After a long while, the shockwave finally dissipated. The uniformed man collapsed to the ground. His clothes were tattered, his arms were gone, a large hole had been blasted in his chest, and his other parts were covered in wounds. His consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

"This guy's Combat Strength can only be barely considered as Four-Star Half-Step True God. If he encounters a real Four-Star Half-Step True God, I'm afraid this battle won't be easy," Gu Ding thought to himself, and he walked directly towards the uniformed man.

Seeing Gu Ding walking towards him, the uniformed man still had a ferocious expression. "If you kill me, you'll never escape this exiled space."

"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own way of doing it." Gu Ding said, grabbing his head with one hand and lifting him up.

"Even if you manage to get out, you won't live long. There are countless people in the entire Universe Sea who want you dead right now. Gu Ding, your team is too high-profile. A team this high-profile will only have one outcome: being captured and handed over to the Federal Government for a bounty. If you're lucky, you might survive in prison; if you're unlucky, your corpses will be used as practice by those medical students in the Federal Government. Hehehe..."

"Shut up!" Gu Ding exerted force with his five fingers, squeezing the uniformed man's head until it exploded. The uniformed man's entire body gradually turned into energy fragments and disappeared.

After storing the uniformed man's Smart Watch in his Storage Space, Gu Ding looked around and found that this void was indeed impossible to navigate. When he probed with his soul power, he sensed only a void that stretched out endlessly, seemingly without boundaries.

"Sea Emperor, which way should we go?" Gu Ding asked after trying to find a way without success.

"The Void Illusion Giant Python isn't purely a spatial entity; its spatial power isn't particularly strong. The main problem is the use of illusion magic, which makes it more difficult to navigate. Getting out isn't actually hard; as long as you have stable, unchanging spatial coordinates, you can fly in a straight line in any direction for half an hour and leave. Of course, without the correct spatial coordinates, you might be misled by its illusions, causing you to keep circling in this void." The Sea Emperor explained the solution after hearing Gu Ding's question.

Following the coordinates given by the Sea Emperor, after half an hour, Gu Ding finally saw a large door and immediately pushed it open.

In the next instant, he appeared on the Champs Elysees Avenue again.

The warehouse, which had been there before, wriggled and transformed into a Cyan Giant Python hundreds of meters long.

"Gu Ding, don't let it escape! Refine it directly, and you'll reap immense benefits!" the Sea Emperor shouted hurriedly.

Without hesitation, Gu Ding unleashed a torrent of black Devouring Fire from his palm, enveloping the giant python.

The giant python writhed and howled in agony, but its resistance lasted less than a minute before it was completely extinguished. Three minutes later, the python was utterly consumed by the Devouring Fire, and the pure energy flowed back into Gu Ding's body.

Suddenly, a peculiar energy surged directly into his soul sea. Gu Ding quickly calmed his mind to investigate and found that it was a peculiar spatial energy, which was actually the Devouring Fire that had been extracted from the body of the Void Illusion Giant Python.

"Spatial energy can be used to merge with my domain, turning the domain into a tangible space." Gu Ding acted immediately, directly merging that energy into the domain hidden within his soul sea.

To Gu Ding's surprise, this fusion was unstoppable, and the domain directly advanced from four stars to five stars, and it continues to evolve.

Upon discovering that many people were heading in this direction, Gu Ding's figure blurred, and he sped towards the hotel address Bonnie had given him. At the same time, he also separated a portion of his consciousness to observe the changes within his soul sea.

Ten minutes later, Gu Ding arrived at the hotel and, with the help of a waiter, found Bonnie and the others.

"Why did it take so long? The waiters over there are practically kicking us out." Liliath pointed to a young man not far away.

"Something came up and I was delayed," Gu Ding said, turning to Bonnie. "I'm sorry."

The ensuing dinner was indeed lavish. Bonnie was clearly a social butterfly, having chosen one of the highest-star hotels on Mandela Star and ordered the finest dishes. This meal cost at least several thousand Originium Stones, roughly equivalent to the price of several One-Star Divine Object.

"Actually, I have another question on my mind about this Auction House," Bonnie suddenly brought up the previous Auction House.

"What's the problem?" Gu Ding raised an eyebrow.

"What's so special about that bracelet? You actually spent 10 billion to buy it." Bonnie had actually been wondering about this for the past few days. A woman's intuition told her that the bracelet was definitely not simple, and she didn't believe that Gu Ding would spend so much money on something useless. Moreover, she had just seen that Gu Ding's bracelet wasn't bought for Liliath and her team. None of the three female members of Gu Ding Team were wearing bracelets.

"If I said I bought it just because I liked the look of it, would you believe me?" Gu Ding asked with a smile.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Bonnie shook her head.

"Alright, I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else," Gu Ding said mysteriously.

Bonnie nodded quickly, "I promise I won't tell anyone, tell me now!"

"Actually, Gu Ding misjudged it, but he was too embarrassed to say it," Miko suddenly interjected. "That bracelet was just an ordinary semi-spiritual item."

Gu Ding glanced at Miko but didn't say much. He knew that Miko wasn't telling the truth because she didn't fully trust Bonnie. After all, Buddha Bone Relic were more valuable than True Blood, and if word got out that they possessed a string of Buddha Bone Relic, they would likely face endless trouble.

"Oh, that's a pity..." Bonnie felt a little regretful and finally gave up on the topic, not asking any more questions.

After a satisfying meal, Gu Ding said goodbye to Bonnie and returned to the spaceship.

"Why do you look a little down?" Liliath also noticed that Gu Ding seemed somewhat absent-minded since the dinner party.

"It's nothing, it's just that what that guy in uniform said was a bit troubling." Gu Ding also knew that the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had become incredibly famous lately. The combined rankings on several lists and the heated discussions online had attracted a lot of unnecessary attention to their team.

Although he had killed the uniformed man, that guy was still Four-Star Half-Step True God. Apart from himself and Bigge, the others in the team would likely face considerable trouble. But for a small organization called Heaven Slaughter to have such powerful members, and even stronger ones, it was easy to imagine how difficult the road ahead would be.

Gu Ding also relayed what the uniformed man had said.

Liliath frowned upon hearing this. "Actually, I felt from the beginning that too much exposure wasn't a good thing. Just as the Sea Emperor said before, we don't have enough strength yet. Given the current situation, that uniformed man probably wasn't lying. I guess many forces in the Universe Sea want to use our heads as stepping stones. From now on, we can only be more careful and try to keep a low profile. Once this wave of discussion subsides, everyone's attention on us should gradually decrease."

"That's the only way." Gu Ding couldn't think of a better solution.

"I'll try my best to help, but I can't make it too obvious. If Tian finds out, it will be very troublesome," the Sea Emperor volunteered.

Just then, Gu Ding's expression suddenly changed, and he threw himself out of the Time Acceleration Cabin and rushed inside... (To be continued...)
