Temporal Turbulence

"Now, the only chance of survival is—"

Gongsun Zhi patted his Storage Bag and took out a dull, dark iron ball.

"Before you are discovered by the Demon King, quickly go to that world, find the large teleportation array I set up, and place this token on it."

Gu Qingshan hesitated, "General Gongsun, you are so strong, you could go yourself..."

His voice gradually lowered.

Gongsun Zhi unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a terrifying wound to Gu Qingshan.

A dark green flame stretched from his shoulder to his chest, all the way down to his lower back.

The wound was so deep that even his heart was split in two.

The flame burned quietly, surrounded by dense and intricate runes that prevented it from causing any further damage.

Netherworld Blazing Flame, a top-tier fire among demon flames.

Gu Qingshan glanced at it, but didn't expose it, silently reciting in his heart.

This is Ba's Fire; even a small cluster can turn thousands of miles of rivers into barren land.

Gongsun Zhi was actually still alive after being struck by this; it was simply a miracle.

Gongsun Zhi said, "I've locked my life force with the Ten Absolutes Imprisonment Array, so I won't die for now, but the wound was inflicted by the Demon King himself, and he can sense me wherever I am."

Gu Qingshan asked, "How long can you last?"

Gongsun Zhi said, "Half a day. After half a day, the Ten Absolutes Imprisonment Array will collapse, and I will also perish."

Gu Qingshan looked directly into his eyes and asked, "With such an injury, who can save you?"

Gongsun Zhi smiled freely and said, "Probably no one can, unless I return to the Human Race Highlands and ask a Spirit Transformation stage medical expert to treat me."

Gu Qingshan sighed, then looked at Ning Yuechan in the sky and gritted his teeth, "Then I'll go."

Gongsun Zhi was overjoyed and placed the iron ball in Gu Qingshan's hand, saying, "We left some people in the Divine Martial World, but the Demon King discovered them long ago. They are probably almost all dead by now, so you don't need to worry too much about them."

He took out an Array Disc and solemnly placed it in Gu Qingshan's hand.

Gu Qingshan looked at it and saw that the Array Disc was divided into several sections, each with extremely complex array runes inscribed on it.

Gongsun Zhi picked up the Array Disc and explained the function of each section one by one, finally saying, "This is a universal Array Disc with many practical arrays on it, with a fixed number of activations. You must use it well."

"And a directional map."

After explaining everything, Gongsun Zhi took out a tortoise shell and had Gu Qingshan stand on it.

"In the space-time turbulence, ignore everything and don't make any movements. If something goes wrong, even the Three Saints can't save you."

"I understand." Gu Qingshan nodded in agreement.

"Go!" Gongsun Zhi patted Gu Qingshan.

In the next instant, Gu Qingshan disappeared from the spot.

With a muffled thud, Ning Yuechan was blasted down from the sky by the Faceless Giant, creating a deep pit in the ground.

"Humph."

Ning Yuechan cried out and leaped out of the pit.

"You sent him to the Divine Martial World?" she asked.

Gongsun Zhi said, "Indeed. You and I are both locked onto by the Demon King's divine sense, and he will never let us get close to that teleportation array."

"You want him to escape?"

Gongsun Zhi sighed and said, "The secret has been told to him. If he can survive, then let him pass the message on for us."

Ning Yuechan stood in the wind, her cold eyes gradually softening.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and whispered, "Then there will be no regrets."

With a wave of her hand, her long saber reappeared from the void.

"If I can take down this monster, I'll have no regrets even in death."

Ning Yuechan finished speaking, gripped her long saber, and once again flew into the sky.

Gu Qingshan felt like he had become a cannonball, constantly accelerating through the endless void.

The passage of time became unpredictable, and one's senses were infinitely stretched. Sometimes it felt like days had passed, but in reality, only a blink of an eye had gone by.

The boundless void gradually disappeared, replaced by a black abyss with no end in sight.

This was the outermost layer of space. Once broken through, it would be the temporal turbulence.

Gu Qingshan's heart tightened.

During his rebirth, he had experienced this scene and knew its terror.

Even someone as battle-hardened and experienced in countless dangers as he was began to hope for good luck.

"It's best not to encounter anything."

Gu Qingshan thought to himself.

The next moment, the entire world suddenly disappeared, and Gu Qingshan broke through space, crashing headfirst into the temporal turbulence.

A sudden force, as rapid as a torrent, tightly wrapped around Gu Qingshan, crossing certain past and future time layers at unimaginable speed.

Gu Qingshan's vision blurred, and he was propelled by this force into a scene.

A giant bronze pillar pierced through the heavens and the earth, standing tall on a boundless and vast open space.

In the very center of the bronze pillar, a corpse was firmly nailed in place by five nails.

The corpse hung its head, its entire body covered in black armor, and was about ten stories high.

Even so, compared to the bronze pillar, the corpse still appeared very small.

At the base of the bronze pillar, countless black skeletons moved back and forth, trying to climb up the bronze pillar.

They piled on top of each other, stacking higher and higher, almost reaching the corpse's toes.

Gu Qingshan emerged from a void, flew through this strange space, and continued forward.

"Help me."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

Gu Qingshan gritted his teeth and continued to fly forward without looking back.

He absolutely couldn't stop at this time. Even the slightest movement would affect the layer of strange power enveloping him.

This power was carrying Gu Qingshan to the Divine Martial World. If it became chaotic, the consequences would be unpredictable.

—It was possible to be thrown into an unknown world, or to be torn to pieces in an instant, but the most likely outcome was to remain in this world, never to leave again.

"If you help me, I will grant you eternal life."

The voice continued, carrying a hint of majesty.

Gu Qingshan ignored it completely. Finally, his vision darkened, and he plunged into another time layer, leaving this place.

After a long while.

The corpse on the bronze pillar stirred and exhaled a breath downwards.

This breath carried an intensely blazing, unparalleled dark green fire, instantly burning all the black skeletons below to ashes.

"Damn it, only one living being comes along every two hundred million years, and he got away."

The corpse struggled violently, but the nails pinning its body in place did not budge.

After a while, the corpse grew tired of struggling and returned to stillness.

From the soil beneath the bronze pillar, black skulls emerged.

Soon, hordes of skeletons once again filled the space. They tilted their heads, looked at the corpse on the bronze pillar, and began to move slowly.

Gu Qingshan flew forward in the chaotic spacetime. He didn't know how long it had been when a gap suddenly appeared ahead.

Gu Qingshan plunged into it, immediately feeling gusts of cold wind blowing. The layer of power enveloping him gradually thinned and slowly took shape in the air.

This was a milky white sphere, with Gu Qingshan inside, drifting around as if wrapped in a giant soap bubble.

Outside the sphere, gray mist pervaded, enveloping the sky and the earth.

This gray mist was very peculiar. It was so thick that it was almost black, but it was also transparent. Through it, distant scenery was still clearly visible.

Gu Qingshan raised his head and looked around.

Endless Demons filled his vision, stretching to the end of the earth.

In the extreme distance, a Faceless Giant was fighting another Demon exuding icy aura in the depths of the sky above the clouds.

The whole world had been destroyed, and mountain-like, sea-like Demons had occupied this place.
