Red-Eyed Gu Ding Reappears
The enormous hand in the void was not formed from divine energy, but rather from a soul attack created through the power of the soul.
Normally, soul attacks should be invisible, but Celestine managed to solidify them into a tangible form.
Celestine deliberately launched this long-range attack because he was worried that Bartholomew had other plans.
This powerful soul attack was fatal to both Bartholomew and Gu Ding.
Bartholomew's soul power was almost completely exhausted after using that kind of seal, and he couldn't withstand any more damage. Gu Ding's soul strength wasn't even close to that of a true god, so he had absolutely no resistance to Soul Impact from a god-level being.
The translucent hand, seemingly formed from condensed liquid, instantly engulfed Gu Ding and Bartholomew completely.
Almost instantly, Gu Ding found himself in an unprecedented predicament.
Although the Soul Space was protected by a pyramid, Gu Ding's soul strength was ultimately too weak. After being caught in that palm, he was like a small boat in a tsunami. The entire Soul Space began to tremble violently, and even began to develop cracks.
Within the Soul Space, the Black Robe Young Man frowned slightly. "What is this guy up to? I helped him get rid of a dead servant the day before yesterday, and now he's provoked a celestial being."
At his feet, a small black dog, about half a year old, barked at him twice, as if they were communicating with each other.
"Of course I know that if the Soul Space shatters, I will suffer as well, but the main body keeps causing trouble every few days, and I always have to clean up after him. This is extremely annoying." The Black Robe Young Man crossed his arms, looked at the crumbling Soul Space, and finally shook his head helplessly. "I'm not a babysitter. If this happens again, I won't care whether the main body lives or dies."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Robe Young Man gradually disappeared from the Soul Space, and Gu Ding's originally crumbling Soul Space began to heal itself at an alarming speed.
In the Real World, Gu Ding had already passed out, while Bartholomew was still struggling to stay awake not far away.
Gu Ding, who was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and those eyes were a shockingly crimson blood color. At the same time, a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine erupted from Gu Ding's body.
The release of that aura was sensed almost instantly by all the powerful beings in the entire Gravel World. It was an aura that instilled despair, as if death had already wrapped around one's neck, and the slightest carelessness could cost one's life.
Those powerful figures, regardless of the distance between them, almost simultaneously turned their gazes towards the direction where Gu Ding was. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Bartholomew and Celestine, who were closest to Gu Ding, also sensed this terrifying aura. At the same time, they both turned their gazes to Gu Ding, their hearts filled with doubt.
But they saw Gu Ding floating in the void, his body surrounded by a vacuum that completely isolated him from any Soul Impact. And Gu Ding's eyes had turned an eerie crimson.
Gu Ding's gaze fell on Celestine, as if he were looking at an ant.
"I should have taken care of you and that Deadpool a couple of days ago. What a hassle." Red-Eyed Gu Ding's tone was clearly impatient.
He took a step forward, and a dark shadow rose from above his head, like wisps of black smoke. Grotesque claws sprouted from the void, eventually forming a gigantic and terrifying golem.
The golem was millions of meters tall, almost touching the seal that enveloped the world.
Bartholomew and Celestine were completely stunned.
"Third Sequence Heavenly God is barely good enough to be a snack." Red-Eyed Gu Ding smiled and looked at Celestine with amusement.
The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying force of attraction came from the sky. Celestine clearly felt the immense power of that attraction, and filled with horror, he immediately tried his best to escape. But all his struggles were in vain, and his body was being pulled backward into the air.
His resistance only extended the time he was swallowed by the black monster by less than five seconds before he was swallowed up like an arrow released from a bow.
"Smacking sounds..." The loud chewing noises quickly spread to every corner of the Gravel World, sending chills down one's spine.
Celestine's disappearance caused his attack to dissipate automatically. Bartholomew, who had been in a standoff, stood there bewildered, staring at the Red-Eyed Gu Ding from afar. He knew very well that the guy in front of him was definitely not the Gu Ding he had known before.
The monster's chewing didn't last long; in less than ten seconds, the enormous monster above Gu Ding's head gradually dissipated.
Meanwhile, the red-eyed Gu Ding turned his head to look at Bartholomew.
"I am Bartholomew, we are friends, don't you remember?" Bartholomew said quickly, worried that he might suffer the same treatment after what had just happened.
"Don't tell me of my existence, or you know the consequences." Red-Eyed Gu Ding threw out a threatening remark, and the red in his eyes gradually faded.
Just those few words sent a chill down Bartholomew's spine. He watched helplessly as the red in Gu Ding's eyes faded, and then he collapsed to the ground.
"Just who is this kid?! He actually has something so terrifying inside him." Bartholomew hesitated for a long time before stepping forward to help Gu Ding.
In Gu Ding's Soul Space, the Black Robe Young Man reappeared. He appeared in front of the door deep within the Soul Space, but his body had become semi-transparent and seemed to be gradually dissipating.
Crouching down and patting the little black dog's head, the Black Robe Young Man said, "Just now, in order to deal with that celestial being, I used some of my primordial energy, and now I must return to my Soul World. If I encounter any trouble again, scratching at the door won't help, because I won't be able to break free from the seal in the short term. I can only hope that he will cause less trouble in the future."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, and the black door opened automatically, allowing the young man to step inside. The black door quickly closed automatically, and the chain-like patterns on the door frame began to flow again, sealing the entire door once more.
In the Real World, Gu Ding finally woke up and found himself lying on the ground, while Bartholomew was standing not far away, looking at him strangely.
"What happened?" Gu Ding sat up, rubbed the back of his head, and turned to Bartholomew to ask.
"It's nothing, you just passed out." Bartholomew then realized that the person in front of him was the Gu Ding he knew.
"Where's Celestine?" Gu Ding looked around but didn't see any trace of Celestine. He asked suspiciously, "Did you kill him with some kind of secret technique, Uncle?"
Bartholomew was taken aback, but then nodded and said, "Yes, I've already taken care of it with my special supernatural powers." (To be continued~^~)
