Gu Xing’s consciousness avatar struggled to coalesce in this shattered, gloomy world.
Beneath his feet lay a withered, cracked earth, and the sky was riddled with fissures. The air was filled with chaotic auras.
Each breath seed to bring a heavy sense of oppression.
As soon as his consciousness stabilized, Gu Xing’s gaze locked onto the ancient tree of life in the distance.
At its root, a figure was curled up, emitting a faint green glow.
"Vera!"
He turned his thoughts into a wave of spiritual energy, attempting to awaken that figure.
However.
A stone sinking into the sea!
The curled-up figure remained motionless, as if her consciousness had completely succumbed.
Seeing this, Gu Xing’s heart sank.
The Insect Emperor’s will was more terrifying than he had imagined, not only contaminating Vera’s power.
It had completely sealed and isolated her self-awareness.
Just at this mont...
As if realizing an intruder’s presence, the surrounding world began to collapse at an accelerated pace.
Boom——!
A deafening crash echoed from the horizon, the cracks spread further, and fragnts crumbled, dissolving into the void.
The ground beneath trembled violently, splitting into large chunks.
In the center of the world, the ancient tree symbolizing the source of life was withering and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its bark peeled away, and its branches and leaves turned to ash.
Moreover, the faint glow emanating from Vera’s body grew dimr.
This signified that the Insect Emperor’s will’s erosion was nearing its end.
Once Vera’s core consciousness was completely polluted and devoured, that familiar Vera...
Would vanish forever!
Never to return!
"I must speed up!"
Since calling Vera from a distance was ineffective.
Then he must try getting closer!
Gu Xing hesitated no longer, striding towards the ancient tree.
However, just as he moved, a sudden change occurred!
"Hiss——!"
The dark red energy surrounding him, like a startled venomous snake, instantly boiled over.
It condensed into several sharp-sounding energy tentacles, fiercely lashing and wrapping toward Gu Xing’s consciousness avatar!
At the sa ti, part of the dark purple Insect Emperor’s tentacles clinging to the ancient tree...
Shoot at Gu Xing like arrows, laden with a nauseating stickiness and icy spiritual pollution!
These attacks not only harbored powerful energy impacts...
More deadly was the strong spiritual erosion they carried!
Furiously trying to invade Gu Xing’s consciousness, polluting and dismantling his existence.
Gu Xing’s heart chilled, imdiately mobilizing his spiritual power with full force to construct a defense.
But in this world belonging to Vera’s heart image, the strength his consciousness could exert was severely limited.
The hastily gathered spiritual shield flickered violently under the onslaught, teetering on the verge of collapse.
A cold, chaotic intent, like an ice awl, continued to assault his consciousness, causing waves of dizziness and nausea.
Gu Xing’s heart sank continuously!
Trouble!
If this continues...
Forget awakening Vera, even I might beco trapped here!
Now, because Gu Xing was a spiritual body, many thods were completely useless.
Moreover, a Beast Master was not a profession known for fighting alone.
Yet, at this perilous mont, a spark of insight flashed.
He rembered a thod.
That is the Emperor’s Domain!
This domain has a unique function.
It can intimidate all living beings.
Previously, Fei Yue could gain the Ghost Race’s divine pattern, with the Emperor’s Domain playing an imnsely important role.
But now...
Would the Emperor’s Might be effective against the Insect Emperor’s will?
With a resolute heart, Gu Xing decided to give it a try.
"Emperor’s Might!"
Gu Xing steadied his breath, focusing his intent on the domain.
In an instant, an indescribable intangible wave quietly spread from him as the center.
This wave wasn’t fierce but carried an inviolable majesty.
Like dawn dispelling the mist or the scorching sun lting the snow, it brimd with a pure and righteous aura.
A miracle happened!
When this wave containing the intent of "Emperor’s Might" touched the dark red energy tentacles and Insect Emperor’s tendrils, they seed to have t their natural nesis.
The attacking movents turned sluggish and twisted. Their surfaces emitted a slight "sizzling" sound, with faint black smoke rising as if being purified!
The cold intent trying to erode Gu Xing’s consciousness also shrank back as if scalded!
Effective!
The Emperor’s Might indeed had a miraculous effect on this type of spiritual pollution and foreign wills!
Gu Xing’s spirits lifted.
He maintained this state infused with "Emperor’s Might," stepping forward steadily towards the ancient tree of life.
Wherever he passed, although the dark red energy and Insect Emperor’s tendrils continued to move nacingly, hissing threats.
They dared not recklessly attack as before, instead forming a dangerous vacuum zone around him.
Finally, Gu Xing navigated through nurous obstacles, arriving under the giant ancient tree of life, standing before the curled-up figure.
At such a close distance, he could better perceive the dire state Vera was in.
Her core consciousness glow was extrely dim.
Her form had beco blurred, tightly bound by countless dark red chains.
These chains even burrowed into her spirit body like roots, continuously extracting nutrients and injecting polluted thoughts.
"Vera, I’m here."
Gu Xing softly called out, simultaneously enveloping Vera with his spiritual power imbued with the intent of "Emperor’s Might," like a warm glow.
Under the Emperor’s Might’s influence, the dark red chains tightly binding Vera seed to be sowhat suppressed, slackening slightly.
And Vera, her body trembled subtly.
There was a reaction!
Hope rose in Gu Xing’s heart, and he continued to call out:
"Vera, can you hear ? Look at , I’m Gu Xing."
However, that was all.
Vera didn’t awaken as expected, only her tremors beca slightly more pronounced.
It was as if deep within a never-ending nightmare, she heard a faint call, yet powerless to break free from its shackles.
...
Elsewhere.
The situation outside was dire beyond asure!
Above the arena, Liu Li’s condition had deteriorated to the extre.
She had given her all to create an opportunity for Gu Xing to get near, almost depleting her power completely.
Although Vera montarily halted due to Gu Xing’s sudden proximity and embrace.
But this pause didn’t bring improvent...
It was like dropping cold water into boiling oil, triggering a more violent explosion!
"Ah——!"
Vera let out a piercing scream that was unlike her original voice.
The dark red energy around her surged out of control like a tsunami!
Thicker, coarser dark red vines with sharp barbs whipped towards Liu Li like a witch’s braids in a frenzy!
Simultaneously, more void cracks appeared randomly, consuming everything around!
"Pfft!"
Liu Li, already at her limit, couldn’t fully defend against this intensified frenzy.
A void crack slashed past her shoulder, drawing a trail of blood, while several vines struck her protective shield rcilessly.
The imnse force was too much to bear, and she spurted blood uncontrollably.
Her body flew back like a kite with a broken string, the Sword of Destruction in her hand flickering uncertainly.
