overseas.

After a long and precarious battle, Xu Qi'an gradually regained his balance—the balance that allowed him to survive in this tightrope-walking struggle.

Both Transcendent Rank Ones have their advantages and disadvantages; the Gu God's methods are varied and unpredictable.

Huang, however, takes an unconventional approach, which is terrifying and deadly, but also has a major weakness, such as speed. He cannot control the Shadow Jump like the Gu God, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Xu Qi'an used the mobility of his large eyeballs to fight the Gu God, while Huang could only watch from the sidelines most of the time.

In order to enhance his thinking ability to cope with dangerous situations, Xu Qi'an used the Great Wisdom Dharma Idol in the Pagoda Treasure Tower, with the light wheel rotating in the positive direction to enhance his wisdom.

I definitely feel much smarter now, but it also takes up more physical energy to use my brain.

A protracted fight is pointless and just a waste of time. Moreover, the Shaman God has broken free of the seal, and the Great Feng is in imminent danger. I must find a way to cut off Huang's unicorn horn and rescue the Superintendent I can advance to the level of Half-Step Martial God.

But getting close to the wilderness is a dead end, what should we do?

Xu Qi'an's brain was operating at almost its limit, tormented by a triple torment of urgency, crisis, and anxiety.

The current situation is that a black hole is drifting around, chasing after him.

A mountain of flesh appeared and disappeared unpredictably, its control methods strange and difficult to defend against, constantly entangled with him.

Having fought this far, he can only barely hold his own against two Transcendent Rank, and he still has to rely on the help of the Big Eyeball. If he didn't have the Big Eyeball as a weapon, he would have been taught a lesson by the Gu God and Huang Lun long ago.

"The Gu God's ' Obscure ' only affects me for one second, and it can only be used once every ten breaths. He hasn't used any other Gu Arts yet, but none are as troublesome as the Shadow Gu."

"Wild's speed can't keep up with mine. At first glance, it seems safe, but one mistake and I'm finished."

"But to save the Superintendent, we must confront Huang's innate supernatural abilities; that's difficult."

"I definitely can't beat two Transcendent Rank in a fight. Since I'm not strong enough, I'll think of another way. As the Art of War says, attacking a city is the inferior strategy, while attacking the mind is the superior one. The Gu God possesses the Heaven Gu and has exceptional wisdom; he'll only be smarter than me."

"Hmm, while Ara is intelligent enough, his greedy and irritable personality is a clear flaw. We can make use of him."

Xu Qi'an glanced at the rapidly approaching black hole, snapped his fingers, and immediately teleported to a distance, shouting:

"Just now, the Fate a warning. This can only mean either that Buddha has begun to devour the Central Plains, or that the Shaman God has broken free of his seal."

"How much longer are you going to fight me here?"

The Gu God remained unmoved, but Huang was clearly affected; the black hole in the air condensed slightly.

The Gu God's gaze was calm and wise, and he spoke in a majestic and deep voice:

"Don't be fooled by him. It takes time for Transcendent Rank to devour the Central Plains, but if we kill him, we can directly seize the Fate within him."

Without further hesitation, the black hole continued its attack.

At the same time, the Gu God once again Obscure him and the Pagoda Treasure Tower, but this time, Xu Qi'an seemed to have a premonition, and his figure flashed and disappeared, appearing hundreds of feet away.

Immediately, his original location was replaced by a black hole.

The Great Wisdom Dharma Idol of the Pagoda Treasure Tower not only increases wisdom, but it also acts as a signal. Once the Gu God casts Obscure on him and the Pagoda Treasure Tower, the wisdom bonus will disappear.

Xu Qi'an can receive the signal and teleport to jump ahead of time.

Since the Obscure lasts only one second, it essentially negates the Obscure effect.

"Roar!"

A furious roar echoed from within the black hole; He had missed once again.

In ancient times, He could roam freely. Even powerful beings of the same level, like the Gu God, were unwilling to provoke Him. The reason was that Huang was both powerful and crude. He was powerful because his innate supernatural abilities made even powerful beings of the same level feel troubled.

His crudeness is his most obvious weakness, which allows stronger opponents of the same level to find ways to deal with or avoid.

He looks just like a warrior!

"I can't save the Superintendent, but you can't kill me either. How can you plunder my Fate?"

Xu Qi'an shouted, "The Shaman God and the Buddha are gradually devouring the Great Feng. You two are still overseas, and it will take time for you to get back. You have already lost your chance to compete for the Heavenly Dao."

The black hole's devouring force suddenly intensified.

At this moment, Xu Qi'an charged towards the Gu God. During the process, twisted and complex patterns appeared on his body, and his muscles suddenly swelled up, filled with terrifying power capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

The surrounding void distorted, as if unable to withstand his power, and the Gods and Devils Island below experienced a violent earthquake, cracking open in the ground.

He charged headlong into the Gu God.

Upon seeing this, the Gu God immediately caused his muscles to swell like steel, and blood mist to spray from the pores on his spine— the Blood Sacrifice Art!

The air around Him distorted, unable to withstand the power of this mountain of flesh.

In contrast to the savage clash of Xu Qi'an, the Gu God was not in a hurry for a direct confrontation. Instead, He opened His mouth and spat out one beautiful woman after another.

There were about a dozen of them. These beauties possessed stunningly beautiful faces, and they were completely naked, with heavy breasts, long legs, firm and flat bellies, and perfectly rounded buttocks.

Undeterred, they struck alluring poses and flirted with the charging Half-Step Martial God.

In an instant, Xu Qi'an was overwhelmed by the demonic sound, his blood was pumping, and all that remained in his mind was. "The word is very large, please bear with it."

The Gu God aroused his lust.

This move seemed designed specifically to counter Xu Qi'an, successfully throwing him off balance, disrupting his offensive rhythm, and eroding his willpower.

The shadow at the base of the Gu God's body trembled, and "Obscure" was poised to strike. At that moment, a beam of brass sword light shot up from Xu Qi'an's back, killing more than a dozen seductive vixens.

The long-hidden Nation-Guarding Sword made its move, ruthlessly eliminating the temptation of beauty for him.

They transformed into writhing chunks of deep red flesh, which suddenly swelled up and turned into a purple mist that blotted out the sky.

"Hiss."

Xu Qi'an's skin rapidly emitted purple smoke, his skin was severely corroded, his eyes stung, and his vision became blurred.

The Gu God's Poison Gu was extraordinary, easily injuring Half-Step Martial God.

Xu Qi'an immediately descended on the wind, running wildly through the air to break free of the poisonous fog and grasp the Nation-Guarding Sword.

Immediately afterwards, he calmed all his energy and suppressed all his emotions. The "black hole" in his dantian collapsed, gathering all his immense power.

But just as he was about to swing his sword, his arm suddenly went out of control, and his body stiffened.

The toxins that had invaded his body had somehow come to life, transforming into tiny black worms. They took root in his flesh and blood, taking control of the parts where they were rooted, and vying with Xu Qi'an for control of his body.

The thought of the Corpse Gu flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and the next moment, everything went black before his eyes; he was Obscure again.

This is the method of the Gu God, ever-evolving and unpredictable.

Seizing the opportunity, the black hole swiftly drifted over, intending to devour Xu Qi'an completely.

Boom!

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an, his five senses and six consciousnesses Obscure, relied on his sense of direction to deliberately crash into the Gu God, roaring in a deep voice:

"Huang, even if I die, I won't let myself die at the hands of a piece of trash like you."

The massive, crimson body of the Gu God lunged forward, slamming Xu Qi'an from the air to the ground. The Gods and Devils Island trembled violently, cracking open like a spiderweb.

Even with the physique of Half-Step Martial God, such a blow would inevitably break the sternum and ribs, piercing the internal organs.

The Gu God, who possesses the Strength Gu poison, is even stronger than a martial artist.

That's not all. Ant-like offspring of the Gu God crawled out from the surface of his body and burrowed into Xu Qi'an's body, secreting streams of venom that seeped into his skin.

In just a short while, countless raised bumps appeared under Xu Qi'an's skin, crawling rapidly, while his skin turned dark purple and his flesh began to ulcerate.

Using a variety of Gu Arts, He successfully controlled this Half-Step Martial God.

Seeing this, Huang panicked and charged headlong into the Gu God and Xu Qi'an.

The Xu family Fate; devouring him would be half the battle won in the struggle for the Heavenly Dao. How could He possibly stand by and watch the Gu God reap the rewards? Moreover, Xu Qi'an's previous words were not without reason.

While the Shaman God and Buddha were already devouring the Central Plains and encroaching on territory, He remained overseas, infinitely far from the Nine Provinces.

We can't waste any more time.

The Gu God's grand voice was tinged with seriousness:

Don't fall for his provocation; I can share half of my Fate with you.

The black hole's momentum showed no signs of abating, and a desolate voice echoed from within:

"Okay, give him to me first."

The Gu God knows Huang's true nature; giving Xu Qi'an to Him would truly be a waste of time and effort.

The Gu God didn't explain further, because there was no need to accept it. The two were rivals to begin with. When they joined forces to deal with Xu Qi'an, He had already prepared to capture the kid and then fight Huang for the spoils of victory.

Now that Xu Qi'an has been captured and Huang is not willing to compromise, there's nothing more to say about that.

While maintaining the Blood Sacrifice Art to suppress Xu Qi'an, He cast Empathy and Obscure spells on the approaching black hole, spewing out a highly concentrated purple poisonous mist.

It ignites the mating desires of the wilderness.

This successfully caused the incoming black hole to freeze, and seizing the opportunity, the Gu God led Xu Qi'an to perform Shadow Jump.

But at that moment, His massive body suddenly froze, and then He lost control of His body, and His mountain-like shell began to corrode.

Jade Shatters!

Xu Qi'an returned the damage to the Gu God in its entirety.

This time, Huang seized the opportunity and recklessly crashed into the Gu God. By then, it was too late for him to try the Shadow Jump.

The Gu God acted decisively, his muscles rapidly contracting and tightening, causing a massive mountain of flesh to arch and suddenly spring out.

He deliberately crashed into the black hole, taking Xu Qi'an with him—a flesh and blood monster comparable to a mountain—and deliberately crashed into the black hole, which was over a hundred feet in diameter.

The Gu God's physique is absolutely the strongest among all the Transcendent Rank. Even Xu Qi'an, who possesses the Spiritual Essence symbolizing power, could never defeat the Gu God in terms of sheer physical strength.

The power of His impact was unimaginable.

"Call"

Under the impact of the immense, monstrous force, the desolate black hole suddenly twisted, and the cyclone turned into a chaotic gale, almost collapsing directly.

Huang immediately calmed his emotions, fell into a state of "feigned sleep," and activated his innate supernatural power to its peak.

The black hole stabilized and successfully absorbed the Gu God and the Half-Step Martial God.

In an instant, the blood and qi of the Gu God and Xu Qi'an poured into the black hole like a flood bursting its banks. In addition to the power of blood and qi, the former also possessed the power of six Gu Arts, which were the Spiritual Essence energy of the Gu God.

If things continue like this, Xu Qi'an and the Gu God will be reduced to ashes in less than a quarter of an hour, their Spiritual Essence completely plundered by the desolate wilderness.

Within the cells of Half-Step Martial God, the "patterns" symbolizing immortality began to shrink. Some patterns, after shrinking to their extreme, dispersed into vital energy, becoming "food" for the Desolate.

This means that Xu Qi'an's foundation as Half-Step Martial God is crumbling. Perhaps in less than a quarter of an hour, he will first fall from the Half-Step Martial God realm, then to the First Rank, the Second Rank, and finally perish.

As expected, Huang could kill Half-Step Martial God, while Buddha couldn't kill Transcendent Rank before. This ancient Gods and Devils was extremely terrifying, with both obvious strengths and weaknesses. Xu Qi'an showed no panic whatsoever, instead grinning and saying:

"Gu God, you have no other choice."

This tactic, known as "putting yourself in a desperate situation to survive," is a strategy devised under the blessing of Great Wisdom.

First, exploiting Huang's greedy and irritable nature, they used words to bewitch him and increase his anxiety.

He then engaged in a fierce battle with the Gu God, but he was no match for the Gu God, and thus naturally became the Gu God's "prey".

At this point, Huang and Gu God will inevitably turn against each other.

Because it concerns the struggle for the Heavenly Dao, no one trusts the other. Even if they know that Xu Qi'an may have ulterior motives, they can only bite the bullet and go for it.

Even if the Gu God is calm, He still has to step in, because Huang's nature is greedy. Huang cannot resist the fat meat that is about to be eaten, nor can He tolerate the cooked duck being snatched away.

The two Transcendent Rank inevitably became adversaries.

Of course, at this point, the plan can only be considered half successful; what follows is crucial.

"Join my forces!"

After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, the Spiritual Essence symbolizing the "power" authority on his body surface Fuxian, and the severely corroded flesh regenerated, his muscles becoming full and brimming with monstrous strength.

In an instant, the world changed color, the clouds surged, and a rain of fire fell. All the golden spirits were extracted from the earth and solidified into mottled pieces of ore, while the water spirits solidified into solid ice, falling along with the rain of fire.

The invisible spiritual energy has become disordered.

The special domain of martial arts practitioners unfolds.

The Gu God's enormous body writhed, its back spewing out crimson blood mist. After being devoured by a massive amount of blood and energy, its size increased rather than decreased, and its aura rose rather than fell.

The Half-Step Martial God and the Gu God unleashed their full power simultaneously, striking the black hole with their combined might.

These terrifying attacks were also swallowed by the black hole. The next second, the black hole collapsed from the inside out, transforming into a terrifying hurricane that swept across the surrounding area.

An ancient behemoth with the body of a sheep and the face of a human appeared, its body covered in cracks, from which thick blood flowed incessantly.

His eyes revealed anger, resentment, anxiety, and greed.

The combined attack of the Half-Step Martial God and the Gu God was too terrifying, exceeding the limits of His innate divine power, thus the "Black Hole" was directly interrupted.

Xu Qi'an dared to take this risky step because he was certain that by combining his power with that of the Gu God, he could break through Huang's innate supernatural abilities.

There is no magic or Spiritual Essence in the world that can kill both a Transcendent Rank and Half-Step Martial God at the same time, because these two are the ceiling of the Transcendent world, and such power cannot exist in the Nine Provinces.

The force of the collapsing black hole simultaneously repelled the three peak experts.

Seizing the opportunity, the distant Pagoda Treasure Tower lit up its large eyeballs, slicing through the space where Xu Qi'an was and teleporting him above Huang's head.

As Xu Qi'an flew backwards, he instantly steadied himself, using a martial artist's technique to Transforming Force in the blink of an eye. Then, he grabbed at his chest and pulled out the Peace Saber.

He mustered all his strength and poured it into the Peace Saber.

Slash down with all your might!

Now, the aura of Half-Step Martial God is becoming too much for the Nation-Guarding Sword, a magical artifact, to bear, causing great wear and tear on the sword. Only the Peace Saber can easily withstand the infusion of his aura.

Huang and Gu God remained in their backward flight posture. Huang's amber eyes suddenly narrowed as he realized Xu Qi'an's plan: to cut off his horn to save the Superintendent!

At this point, the differences between the different systems became apparent. Although Huang had a powerful physique, he lacked the martial artist's skill of Transforming Force and could not deflect force in an instant.

The horns on its head suddenly swelled up, attempting to unleash its innate supernatural power once more.

On the other side, the shadow beneath the Gu God rolled, performing Shadow Jump.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the long horn that sealed the Superintendent was severed.

The giant horn, tens of feet long and comparable to a city gate, crashed down heavily, causing the seven Gu energies sealed within it to slowly dissipate.

From the long horn, the white-bearded and white-haired Superintendent emerged, standing with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing into the distance.

Xu Qi'an was overjoyed. By breaking the seal on the Superintendent and gaining his approval, he had completely fulfilled one prerequisite and two conditions, and he would become Martial God of unparalleled fame.

However, at that very moment, his pores suddenly burst open, and an uncontrollable fear and sense of crisis surged up, as if every cell and nerve in his body was transmitting a dangerous signal.

This is not a martial artist's premonition of danger; it is a warning from Fate!

There is only one explanation for this situation:

The Great Feng is doomed!

"Well"

A tremendous sigh echoed between heaven and earth. A gust of wind blew by, and the Superintendent's figure vanished like ashes.

Only then did Xu Qi'an realize that what he had seen was merely a fleeting afterimage; the Superintendent had already returned to the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Feng Dynasty's fate has run its course, the National Fate's destiny has vanished, and the foundation supporting the Superintendent's "immortality" no longer exists.

Xu Qi'an was stunned.

The voice of the Gu God was majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Before setting sail, I Manipulation the Gu beast to go to Jingshan City and asked the Shaman God to cast a divination. The divination showed that it was extremely auspicious, but I did not believe in Him."

"I went to Jingshan City just to see how far he had progressed in breaking the seal. At that time, I determined that he would take advantage of my departure at sea to break the seal and profit from it. Diviner are always able to seize opportunities."

What choice will Great Feng, with nowhere else to turn, make when faced with the Shaman God?

The Gu God did not continue speaking; a hint of mockery flashed in his wise and clear eyes.

"You've been fooled. I was just playing along a little longer, waiting for the time to come for the Superintendent to die."
