"Maybe!" Long Yuan realized something and nodded.
"Sigh! Even if we had a way, what could we do? The biggest problem now is how to get out?" Gu Yu suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon again.
The most crucial thing now is how to get out of here. Even if there are plenty of treasures, what good will it do if Gu Yu gets them but can't get out?
"Longyuan, this restriction isn't offensive, is it?" Gu Yu suddenly thought of something else. If the restriction left by the True God was offensive, wouldn't he be doomed?
"I don't know." Long Yuan shook his head. "It probably doesn't exist anymore!"
"Should be?" Gu Yu's weapon seemed to be questioning. "When did you discover that there was a restriction here?"
“Just now,” Long Yuan said.
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed again. He dared not move rashly. The restriction was too terrifying. If he moved, it might trigger an attack and turn him to ashes.
"What should I do?" Gu Yu was extremely anxious. This place was very suitable for cultivation, but if he was trapped here for decades or hundreds of years, humanity might be doomed. So he had to get out.
"Long Yuan, do you really have no way to crack this?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan again.
“I’m not completely without it. The master of this place is dead; it’s just a blind existence. Perhaps I can try to break it by force, since I don’t have to worry about being discovered by the master,” Long Yuan said after thinking for a moment. Gu Yu didn’t want to be trapped here, and neither did Long Yuan.
"Then why aren't you starting?" Gu Yu said, looking at Long Yuan who hadn't made a move.
“We need to go further in. Only when we reach the very center can I break it,” Long Yuan said. “Although the restriction is not as profound as an array, it originates from an array. We need to find its core, which is equivalent to the array’s center.”
"Uh!" Hearing Long Yuan's words, Gu Yu rolled his eyes and walked inside. He didn't dare to now. "What if I trigger the offensive nature of the restriction?"
“But if we don’t go in, we can’t find the core, and we can’t break it!” Long Yuan said, shrugging.
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed again. "You go first."
“I’ll go first?” Long Yuan was taken aback when he heard Gu Yu’s words. “Alright! I’ll go first then. Anyway, if this restriction is really offensive, its destructive power will be useless even if you go behind me.”
Hearing Long Yuan's words, Gu Yu frowned. That was indeed the case, but he still felt it would be safer to walk behind.
So Longyuan walked ahead, with Gu Yu following behind him.
Long Yuan looks like he's terrified of dying! He's extremely cautious, glancing around with every step to make sure nothing is amiss, which makes their progress very slow.
"It seems the restrictions here are no longer effective?" Long Yuan said after walking over a hundred meters.
"It seems so." Gu Yu nodded. If there had been an attack, they would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.
"Alas! A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs! If I still had my former cultivation, what would a mere True God restriction be? I could destroy it with a flick of my hand." Long Yuan sighed and said, "We should still be careful, in case it happens, it will be troublesome."
"Hmm!" Gu Yu nodded. Better safe than sorry. If you're careless, you could lose your life.
"The aura of dragons is very strong here, and it gets stronger the further we go. Could there be a dragon corpse?" Long Yuan said at this moment. If it is the dragon corpse of a true god, and if it has not been destroyed by the power of gods and demons, it should be safe to preserve it until now. If that is the case, then his luck is really too good. He just doesn't know what kind of dragon it is. But in his current state, any dragon will do.
Suspecting that the restriction had lost its offensive power, the man and the dragon became much bolder, and they began to increase their speed.
"It should be just ahead, not far away." Feeling the rich dragon aura, Long Yuan couldn't wait any longer and immediately sped up, rushing forward.
After rushing forward for only a dozen meters, Long Yuan suddenly stopped, his expression changing drastically.
"What's wrong? Did you trigger the restriction?" Gu Yu asked immediately when he saw Long Yuan suddenly standing there dumbfounded.
“No.” Long Yuan’s dragon eyes widened. Before Gu Yu could ask anything, Gu Yu’s expression also changed. Several black shadows appeared instantly. They looked somewhat like cockroach monsters, with thick carapaces, pitch-black bodies, and two bright red eyes.
There were so many of them, so densely packed, that Gu Yu felt a chill run down his spine. There was nothing he could do about it; it was his nature. Seeing so many insects naturally made him feel that way.
Click... Click...
"These are corpse beetles?" Long Yuan looked at the countless corpse beetle monsters that had appeared before him and said uncertainly, "The aura of our own kind, did these guys eat dragon corpses?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the corpse beetle monsters swarmed over, sweeping towards Gu Yu and Long Yuan.
No sooner said than done, the wooden sword appeared in Gu Yu's hand. With the triple amplification activated, Gu Yu's aura expanded instantly, and countless sword energies spread out, blasting away a large number of corpse beetle monsters.
At this moment, Long Yuan roared, and a powerful force emanated from his body, blasting the horde of corpse beetle monsters charging towards him into dust.
"What a tough body." Gu Yu frowned as he watched the corpse beetle monster being blasted away with a single blow. With his strength amplified three times, he had reached the fifth level. The attack power of the eighteen dragons had only managed to blast the corpse beetle away without breaking through its defenses. These guys were even stronger than the cockroach monsters.
No wonder this area is so calm. Putting aside the restrictions, whether it's cockroach monsters or rat monsters, as long as they venture in and encounter this corpse beetle monster, the final result will be that their bodies are reduced to ashes.
"These despicable creatures, having consumed dragon corpses, are already incredibly powerful. Furthermore, with the cleansing effect of the divine source power derived from the differentiation of divine and demonic power, although their individual strength is only about four dragons, their defensive capabilities are astonishing. I'm afraid it would take the power of thirty dragons to shatter their bodies," Long Yuan said at this moment.
"Damn it." Upon hearing Long Yuan's words, Gu Yu cursed. Didn't that prove that even with his triple amplification, he couldn't kill a single corpse beetle monster?
boom……………
Long Yuan unleashed another burst of power, instantly blasting the approaching corpse beetle monsters to pieces.
"How many of these are there?" Long Yuan was also having a headache. He didn't care about a few hundred or even a thousand, but if there were too many, he didn't have that much power to consume.
"Looks like there should be a lot," Gu Yu said. At this moment, he was hiding next to Long Yuan. The power emanating from Long Yuan was forcing the corpse beetle monster to stay away, but he knew that Long Yuan couldn't last long either.
"Gu Yu, I'll lend you my power, you can kill them." Looking at the densely packed corpse beetle monsters, Long Yuan suddenly made a decision. He immediately entered Gu Yu's body and lent him his power. Gu Yu's aura instantly soared to the peak of the Marquis Realm.
"Eight Directions Sky-Piercing Slash!" Gu Yu's body instantly flew up, and countless blade energies once again spread out, attacking the corpse beetles indiscriminately.
The blade's energy instantly cleaved a large swarm of corpse beetle monsters into pieces, but the number of corpse beetle monsters he killed was a drop in the ocean compared to the current number of corpse beetle monsters.
"No, if this continues, we'll be worn down to death," Gu Yu said. But there was nowhere to run, and they couldn't kill them all. They could only kill one at a time. The corpse beetle monsters might not be able to wear him down; he had over a billion contribution points.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu, holding a wooden sword, moved swiftly like a god of death, slaying large numbers of corpse beetle monsters wherever his sword energy passed.
Boom boom boom…
Gu Yu frantically swung the wooden knife in his hand, and the corpse beetle monsters fell down one after another.
After more than ten minutes of frantic slaughter, half of the corpse beetle monsters remained.
"Gu Yu, I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on much longer." Long Yuan said weakly. Gu Yu's recent outburst had used up all of his strength.
"Withdraw your power," Gu Yu said, and then his aura immediately weakened.
"Sword Nourishment Technique, Heaven Opening." Three hundred thousand strands of Origin Qi instantly spread out, and the inscriptions on the wooden sword were instantly lit up. A huge sword aura slashed down towards the corpse beetle monster. Although its combat power was not as good as Long Yuan's, it was enough to kill the corpse beetle monster.
"Come again, I refuse to believe I can't kill you all," Gu Yu said, looking at the corpse beetle monster.
"Sword Nourishing Technique, Heaven Opening." Gu Yu unleashed another slash, instantly killing another large group of enemies. In this way, Gu Yu continued to unleash twenty slashes, consuming a full six million strands of Origin Qi and sixty million contribution points.
Although there were still quite a few corpse beetle monsters at this time, compared with the beginning, there were only about one-tenth left.
whoosh whoosh whoosh…
At this moment, Gu Yu was panting heavily, repeatedly using the Nourishing Blade Technique and the Heaven Opening Technique. Although it did not consume much of his own source energy, it did consume a lot of his physical strength.
At this moment, the corpse beetle monsters looked at Gu Yu with their scarlet eyes. Despite Gu Yu killing so many of their companions, there was no fear in their eyes.
Such creatures would be terrifying on the battlefield, as they are unafraid of death, like elite trained assassins. Unfortunately, they are uncontrollable; if one could control them, it would be like having an army.
Although their combat strength is not great, their defense is astonishingly formidable.
Swish swish swish…………
Instantly, dozens of corpse beetle monsters charged towards Gu Yu. Gu Yu gritted his teeth! A few more strikes and these guys would all be dead. He would hold on.
"Blade Nourishing Technique, Heaven Opening!" Gu Yu immediately swung his blade, instantly slaying dozens of charging corpse beetle monsters.
"Come on!" Gu Yu roared at the corpse beetle monsters, then his figure instantly transformed into lightning, and the wooden sword in his hand slashed out again. The terrifying sharpness swept towards the corpse beetle monsters once more, and dozens more corpse beetle monsters were killed by Gu Yu in an instant.
Just as Gu Yu was about to swing his sword again, a powerful pressure swept towards him, and his body, which was suspended in the air, was immediately pressed to the ground by this pressure.
“Such a strong sense of kinship,” Long Yuan remarked.
Immediately afterwards, a winged, dark gold corpse beetle flew out. This corpse beetle looked very strange. Unlike other corpse beetles, this one had dragon horns, its body was covered in dark gold dragon scales, and it also had a pair of dragon claws. Sensing its aura, Gu Yu frowned.
The oppressive aura that pinned Gu Yu to the ground originated from this guy. This guy was radiating white energy, and his aura had clearly reached the peak of the Marquis Realm. Most importantly, the oppressive aura emanating from him was actually the unique oppressive aura of a true dragon.
"What is this thing? How can it have dragon horns?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan.
"This corpse beetle must have eaten the dragon's heart and evolved dragon characteristics. I never thought that I, a dignified dragon and an unparalleled being, would become food for these guys. How ironic!" Long Yuan said with a self-deprecating tone.
"What are you? How dare you kill so many of my descendants?" The next second, something shocking happened to Gu Yu: this corpse beetle monster spoke in human language. It was clear it had never seen a human before. This creature, due to the restrictions, had never left this place and had never seen humans. The cockroach monster and the rat monster, unlike Gu Yu, had seen humans.
After all, quite a few people from the Kong family have come to mine in recent years, and even some of the previous Dragon Division students have entered the mine.
"And what are you?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the corpse beetle monster.
"I am the Corpse Beetle King," the Corpse Beetle King replied. Although it could speak, its intelligence was not high.
"The Corpse Beetle King?" Gu Yu frowned.
"You have not answered my question yet. What are you? Why did you kill my descendants?" the Corpse Beetle King asked again.
"I am human. As for why I killed your descendants? Is that even a question?" Gu Yu's gaze fell upon the Corpse Beetle King.
"Hmm? Humans?" The Corpse Beetle King pondered for a moment. "What kind of species are humans? Why have I never heard of them? And if I don't understand, why not ask?"
"Uh!" Gu Yu was stunned when he heard the Corpse Beetle King's words. At this moment, he was actually deliberately stalling for time. He needed time to recover from repeatedly using the Nourishing Blade Technique and the Heaven Opening Technique, and Long Yuan also needed time to recover. He had quietly absorbed many clusters of life essence into his body and also given a lot back to Long Yuan.
“Your descendants want to kill me, so naturally I need to retaliate. I think if I were to attack you, you would also retaliate and kill me.” Gu Yu’s eyes darted around as he said, “As for what species humans are? I think you have never left this place and do not know what the outside world is like. I can tell you that humans are now the rulers of all species, and all species must obey human commands.”
"The ruler of all species?" The Corpse Beetle King's eyes flickered, clearly hesitant, but it was evident that it didn't doubt Gu Yu's words. "Including our Corpse Beetle clan?"
"Hmm!" Gu Yu said in a serious tone, "Among the many species, you corpse beetles are not particularly powerful, but your numbers are enormous, which gives you a place among the many species. However, in the eyes of us humans, you are nothing."
"Oh!" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Corpse Beetle King nodded blankly, then suddenly sniffed the air. "Are all humans this fragrant? They look delicious."
Upon hearing the Corpse Beetle King's words, Gu Yu frowned immediately.
"Human, I want to eat you." The Corpse Beetle King's gaze suddenly sharpened, and the pressure belonging to the dragon race swept towards Gu Yu. Gu Yu immediately felt his body sink. If he hadn't been prepared, he probably would have stumbled and fallen to the ground from such a sudden pressure.
“Corpse Beetle King, if you dare to touch me, my human race’s divine realm will immediately enter and kill you,” Gu Yu said to the Corpse Beetle King.
"Divine Realm?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Corpse Beetle King was visibly stunned for a moment. "But you really look delicious. Although I am afraid of the Divine Realm, I really want to eat you. Otherwise, cut off your legs and let me have a taste."
"Uh!" Upon hearing the Corpse Beetle King's words, Gu Yu's lips twitched a few times. "No way."
"No?" The Corpse Beetle King frowned, and the next second Gu Yu felt the pressure suddenly intensify.
"Alright then! I'll reluctantly give you one leg to eat," Gu Yu said. "But you have to remove your oppressive aura first. It's too strong; it's making it impossible for me to move."
"Alright!" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Corpse Beetle King immediately withdrew its oppressive aura.
"Corpse Beetle King, could you give me some time? I need to mentally prepare myself. Losing a leg is incredibly painful," Gu Yu said to the Corpse Beetle King. The Dragon Source's recovery would take some time, and Gu Yu needed to wait. Of course, he could use the God-Slaying Array Disc to amplify his cultivation to the peak of the King Realm and kill the Corpse Beetle King directly. However, the God-Slaying Array Disc's energy was running low; after two days of recovery, it had only recovered the energy of one top-grade source stone. The God-Slaying Array Disc was currently Gu Yu's strongest weapon. Facing the perilous Kunlun Source Gate world, Gu Yu didn't want to waste the God-Slaying Array Disc's energy on a single Corpse Beetle King; he needed to keep a trump card.
"Is it that troublesome?" The Corpse Beetle King sounded visibly impatient upon hearing Gu Yu's words.
"If you disagree, then I will fight you to the death. Once I die, the true god of my human race will receive the message and enter to kill you," Gu Yu threatened the Corpse Beetle King again.
"Alright, alright!" Hearing Gu Yu say this, a hint of hesitation appeared in the Corpse Beetle King's eyes. It was very wary of what Gu Yu said. However, it did not consider that if there really was a true god behind Gu Yu, wouldn't that true god come in and kill it if it ate one of Gu Yu's legs? It can only be said that the Corpse Beetle King was too naive. In fact, its intelligence was only that of a two or three-year-old human.
"Let me think, should I give you your left leg or your right leg?" Gu Yu muttered, looking at his legs.
"Anything is fine, as long as it's a leg." Hearing Gu Yu's words, the naive Corpse Beetle King really thought that Gu Yu was going to give him a leg.
“Yes! For you, it doesn’t matter which leg you have, but for me it’s different. My current cultivation level isn’t high enough to regenerate a severed leg. If I give you my right leg, my left leg seems a bit useless. But if I give you my left leg, my right leg doesn’t seem to be very useful either. It seems that if I only have one leg left, neither of them will be very useful,” Gu Yu explained.
