"Let's die together!"
Seeing that he could not escape, Old Man Dark Evil's face twisted viciously. The Dou Qi around him suddenly turned violent, and he immediately spun around and lunged at Gu He, determined to drag him down with him even in death.
Gu He had long been on guard against this move. Self-destruction was a desperate attack available to experts above the Dou Zong level, and the most powerful attack one could use. It converted all of one's Dou Qi into energy and detonated it in an instant, with enough power to threaten an expert a whole major realm above oneself.
The space around Gu He suddenly began folding over itself. The distance between the two seemed to become incomparably vast in an instant. That was not all—an intense silver light flashed around Gu He, and he vanished from his original position almost immediately.
"Dou Saint!"
Seeing Gu He's incomparably skillful control over space, Old Man Dark Evil, who could no longer restrain the energy within his body, muttered those words. His face was filled with indescribable shock. Then, amid a deafening boom, he transformed into an immensely violent sphere of light and exploded.
Gu He, who had already appeared in the distance, looked at the terrifying energy shockwave not far ahead and wiped at the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead. Smiling, he said, "If you want to drag me down with you, you'll need at least the strength of a Dou Saint!"
As Old Man Dark Evil exploded, the energy produced by his self-destruction was fully unleashed. A terrifying wave directly destroyed the entire hall, exposing a massive pit several hundred zhang deep. The sphere of light in midair was also torn apart, revealing the cushion within, which emitted a faint blue-green glow.
