"You little whelp Xuan Yuan, do not be so arrogant! Wait until the Emperor of the Abyss emerges, he will definitely reduce you to ashes!"
"How preposterous! Do you truly believe the Emperor of the Abyss dares not show himself? Let me tell you, killing you is more than enough for the Emperor of the Abyss!"
"Emperor of the Abyss! We all know you are also hidden within this Void. Since that is the case, then reveal yourself for a meeting. Otherwise, this Xuan Yuan brat will truly think you fear him."
"Correct! Emperor of the Abyss, you need not worry. Today, whether it be the Sacred Ground, the Heavenly Dao, or the various blessed lands and cave heavens, as long as they dare lay a finger on you, we will absolutely fight them to the bloody end."
"The greatest hope of us old fellows from the Endless Abyss is for the Emperor of the Abyss to ascend to the True Lord of Original Sin, slaughter the Three Thousand Great Daos, and open the Daoless Age. We hope the Emperor of the Abyss will not let everyone down."
"Emperor of the Abyss, we are all counting on you to ascend to the True Lord of Original Sin and open the Daoless Age!"
Within the Void, winds rose and clouds churned. The old fellows who had originally remained silent began to clamor, one voice after another. In their words, they all hoped Gu Qingfeng would step forward and annihilate that whelp Xuan Yuan Hao.
"Damn it all!" Da Xing the Mad Monk glared at the Void and cursed angrily, "These old bastards are truly shameless! A moment ago, none of them dared let out a peep. Now, they have the gall to shamelessly incite you to go out, even saying they'll fight the Great Dao Sacred Ground to the bloody end, counting on you, kid, to ascend to the True Lord of Original Sin?"
"Kid Gu!" Da Xing the Mad Monk said to Gu Qingfeng, "You absolutely must not fall for this trick. These old fellows speak sweet words, but once you step out, they will definitely join forces with the Great Dao to eradicate you."
Gu Qingfeng was also gazing at the Void. He shook his head helplessly, let out a bitter laugh, and sighed, "After the previous two incidents, I originally thought the situation had improved somewhat. But now it seems I was thinking too much. These old fellows are still unwilling to let me go."
Gu Qingfeng had always known that both the Great Dao side and the Original Sin side regarded him as a thorn in their side and wished to eliminate him as quickly as possible.
Yes.
He knew.
Not only did he know, but ever since entering the Desolate Ancient Black Hole, he had encountered this situation more than once, roughly four times in total.
The first time was right after entering the Desolate Ancient Black Hole. When he accidentally comprehended the Chaos Phenomenon Qiankun, he felt the divine senses of numerous mysterious experts within the black hole locking onto him, and these divine senses were all filled with killing intent.
The second time was when he fused with the Heaven-Devouring Blood Taotie. He was similarly locked onto by the divine senses of many mysterious experts.
The difference was, for some unknown reason, those mysterious experts did not take action the first time. The second time, however, they did act, surrounding him with nearly a hundred manifestations. Fortunately, it didn't amount to much against Gu Qingfeng.
The third time was when a Huangtian Ancestral Patriarch emerged within the Human Dao. He again felt the divine senses of many experts locking onto him. Gu Qingfeng figured that time, perhaps because the Huangtian Ancestral Patriarch suddenly went berserk, causing the black hole currents to explode, those experts did not take action.
The fourth time was not long ago, when that existence beyond the Great Dao within his body grew restless. Experts from all sides arrived in numbers, whether Great Dao Ancestral Patriarchs or Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs. In the end, although they also took action, fortunately, it still didn't amount to much against Gu Qingfeng.
Every time these mysterious experts surrounded and attacked him, Gu Qingfeng would state his stance: he would not, did not want to, and had no interest in ascending to the True Lord of Original Sin, hoping everyone would let him off.
He didn't expect everyone to truly let him off, but at least there was no need to surround and attack him repeatedly, was there?
What needed to be probed had been probed, and what shouldn't have been probed had also been probed.
After failing to eradicate him several times in a row, these fellows should have shown some restraint, shouldn't they? If not restraint, then at least some sense of knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
Now it seemed Gu Qingfeng was truly thinking too much.
These old fellows showed no restraint whatsoever, nor any sense of advance or retreat. Instead, they were damn well getting more and more brazen.
"It seems these old fellows won't be satisfied until they completely eradicate me. Whenever they get a chance to wipe me out, they all act like they've discovered a supreme treasure of heaven and earth."
Beside him, Da Xing the Mad Monk curled his lip. He originally wanted to advise Gu Qingfeng to take it easy, but the words reached his lips and ultimately remained unspoken.
He couldn't advise on this matter either.
Because he knew Gu Qingfeng was already taking it very easily, more so than anyone else.
Da Xing the Mad Monk was not unaware that Gu Qingfeng had suffered several encirclements and attacks. Except for the time when Gu Qingfeng was attacked while fusing with the Heaven-Devouring Blood Taotie, when he was not present, he had been present for all the other times.
In Da Xing the Mad Monk's view, if it were anyone else, they would have either been eradicated long ago, or even if alive, would be hiding cautiously. Only Gu Qingfeng, after suffering several encirclements, still swaggered about within the Desolate Ancient Nine Palaces like a headless fly, wandering aimlessly.
If it were the Gu Qingfeng of old, he would have probably fought these old fellows to the death long ago.
Although the current Gu Qingfeng's state of mind had changed, it wasn't hard to hear from his words just now that his patience seemed to be gradually wearing thin amidst these repeated encirclements. At this moment, he seemed to have grown somewhat impatient.
"Kid Gu, this old monk can completely understand you, but... how to put this matter? There's no other way. Who made you the greatest Original Sin anomaly? Both the Great Dao and Original Sin certainly regard you as the greatest threat. And..." Da Xing the Mad Monk frowned and said, "Now the Desolate Ancient Nine Palaces have begun to change. Perhaps it won't be long before Wu Dao Mountain descends. The Great Dao side wants to eliminate you before Wu Dao Mountain descends, and the Original Sin side also wants to eliminate you before Wu Dao Mountain descends. They are all afraid, afraid that once Wu Dao Mountain descends, if you ascend to the True Lord of Original Sin, then everything will be too late."
"Because your existence is too special—coming and going without a trace, unfathomably profound—no single faction dares to act rashly. Now, Ancestral Patriarch Green Robe has laid a trap, and the Sacred Ground has laid a trap within that trap. The Ancestral Patriarchs from the Great Dao side and the Original Sin side who should have come have all come, and those who shouldn't have come have also come. For them, this is absolutely a rare opportunity, and perhaps the last opportunity."
He paused.
Da Xing the Mad Monk said solemnly, "Kid Gu, this time you must keep your composure. Absolutely do not go out. Their previous encirclements were mostly to probe your depths. If you go out this time, it might not be just probing anymore."
"The changes in the Desolate Ancient Nine Palaces are growing more intense. Wu Dao Mountain could descend at any moment. In other words, the Great Dao side can't afford to wait any longer, and the Original Sin side can't afford to wait either. If they miss this opportunity, perhaps there will never be another chance to eradicate you."
Da Xing the Mad Monk looked at the Void and said, "For this last opportunity, both the Great Dao side and the Original Sin side will probably spare no cost to eradicate you!"
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "The problem is, even if I don't go out, hiding here isn't a solution either."
