Facing the Butcher Star Emperor's attack, Gu Yu immediately used the Ten Directions Shift to dodge the Butcher Star Emperor's blow.
Butcher Star Emperor's attack missed, and he frowned. "What a powerful artifact. It's a pity that if this is all you have, then I'm sorry, you're doomed."
"Huh?" Gu Yu was shocked. He had just used the Ten Directions Shift technique, intending to teleport ten thousand miles back to China. As for Xi Ruo, he believed that Butcher Star Emperor would not do anything to her, but the result was disappointing. He only teleported a hundred meters.
He looked around at the space and immediately realized something: the place was shrouded, and he couldn't move out.
The next second, the Butcher Star Emperor swept towards him, perhaps triggering the God-Slaying Array again to dodge.
"All you can do is run? Do you think you're the only one with a divine artifact?" Butcher Star Emperor said, and suddenly a star staff appeared in his hand. As the star staff appeared, the twelve star staffs hidden in the air also slowly emerged.
Upon seeing the twelve star staffs, Gu Yu immediately understood that these twelve star staffs were the ones that sealed off the space here, preventing him from using the Ten Directions Teleportation technique, which allowed him to teleport tens of thousands of miles, to only teleport a hundred meters.
The Star Emperor's Star Staff suddenly moved, and a force swept outwards.
This is an area-of-effect attack that cannot be avoided by the Ten Directions Shift technique.
Gu Yu looked at Xi Ruo beside him and thought that Butcher Star Emperor would not harm Xi Ruo. He immediately appeared in front of Xi Ruo, but he was wrong. Butcher Star Emperor did not stop his wide-range attack.
"Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation, Six Harmonies Overlord Formation, Yin-Yang Amplification Formation."
Gu Yu hurriedly activated the superimposed array on the God-Slaying Array Plate to meet the opponent's attack.
boom………
Gu Yu's double defensive formation was instantly broken, and Gu Yu was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. Xi Ruo was also sent flying backward.
"Hmm!" Seeing this scene, Butcher Star Emperor was even more certain that Xi Ruo was indeed Xi Ruo. She had completely suppressed Xi Ya, which immediately brought a look of joy to his face.
"How dare you attack me too? Aren't you afraid Xi Ya will kill you?" Xi Ruo stood up and angrily asked Butcher Star Emperor.
"Xi Ya? Heh..." At this moment, the Butcher Star Emperor had revealed his killing intent. "All these years I have endured humiliation and hardship, and finally the opportunity has arrived. Haha... Heaven has not forsaken me, die!"
Gu Yu was completely baffled by what he was seeing. What was going on? Could someone tell him?
Upon hearing this, Xi Ruo's expression changed drastically.
"Die!" Butcher Star Emperor immediately attacked, and the Butcher Star Staff flew towards Xi Ruo and Gu Yu in an instant. The powerful force made the two of them scalp tingle, and Gu Yu discovered that this was a locked combat technique that could not be dodged.
Seeing this, Gu Yu gritted his teeth! The divine and demonic power within him suddenly erupted.
"Heaven and earth grieve together."
A sense of desolation permeated the air, and he did not notice that Xi Ruo's eyes had turned white.
The Heaven and Earth Sorrow slammed into the Butcher's Star Staff, unleashing a terrifying energy ripple that sent the staff flying. Gu Yu was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he swayed and stared at the Butcher Star Emperor.
The next second, Gu Yu suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
"Xi Ya? You weren't suppressed?" Gu Yu, still dazed, only heard this sentence before losing consciousness.
"Butcher, how dare you!" At this moment, Xi Ruo, or rather Xi Ya, first glanced at Gu Yu, then looked at Butcher Xing Huang, and said coldly.
"Star Emperor, I didn't mean it." Butcher Star Emperor immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Hmph!" Xi Ya snorted coldly, then swung her arm, and a force slammed into Butcher Star Emperor, sending him flying backward and spitting out blood.
"Emperor Star, spare me! Spare me!" Butcher Star Emperor didn't care about his injuries and immediately kowtowed and begged.
"You want to kill me, get the Star Essence, and take my place, is that it?" Xi Ya's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Emperor Starry Sky, I dare not! Your subordinate dares not!"
"Hmph! I'll spare your life as long as you're still useful." After saying that, Xi Ya waved her hand again, and Butcher Star Emperor was sent flying backward again. Blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain, but he still kowtowed to Xi Ya, expressing his gratitude.
Xi Ya looked at Gu Yu, and then the two of them vanished without a trace.
The blinding sunlight shone on the earth, forcing Gu Yu to slowly open his slightly heavy eyelids. His vision was initially blurry, but his pupils gradually adjusted to the light.
However, he was stunned by what he saw. Above him, the sky presented an incredible sight: despite the bright sunshine of day, countless stars adorned the sky, hanging silently like ghosts unwilling to leave the night, stubbornly leaving their mark on the stage of daylight. These stars were not dimmed by the sun's dominance; rather, they seemed to be challenging the rule of light, vying for brilliance with the sun in a way that almost defied the laws of nature.
Gu Yu felt a strange sense of confusion and shock. In his understanding, stars belonged to the night. Yet now, they had appeared at a time and place they shouldn't have, which was extremely abnormal.
He tried to stand up, but his injuries caused him immediate pain.
"You're awake." At that moment, a pleasant voice suddenly rang in Gu Yu's ears.
"Xi Ruo?" Gu Yu was taken aback. "Where is this place? Why am I here?"
“It was that wicked woman who saved us,” Xi Ruo replied immediately upon hearing Gu Yu’s words. “This is the Star Boundary.”
"Xi Ya saved us?" Gu Yu frowned, increasingly confused. Xi Ya actually saved him and didn't kill him? This was too bizarre; he couldn't figure out how it happened no matter how hard he tried.
"Wait, you said this is the Astral Plane?" Gu Yu suddenly realized something. "This is the Source Gate World? How did I get into the Source Gate World? Did you bring me here?"
“It wasn’t me. I woke up here. Xi Ya must have brought us here,” Xi Ruo explained. “The Star Boundary has always been on the Holy Mountain! And I grew up here.”
Upon hearing Xi Ruo's explanation, Gu Yu was immediately shocked. There was a Source Gate on the Holy Mountain, and Xi Ruo had grown up within it. This meant she was from the Star Boundary, not Earth. This implied that Xi Ya was the same, and even the Star Emperors were... This...
So the people on the Holy Mountain are actually invaders. No wonder they advocate coexistence. But why don't they just invade Earth directly? With Xi Ya's power, who could stop her? Is it because Xi Ya is sick?
Too many questions left Gu Yu's mind in a mess.
“You look a lot like an older brother.” Xi Ruo said to Gu Yu at this moment.
"Big brother? Who is big brother?" Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard Xi Ruo's words.
“Big brother is a very strange person. He does research every day. He catches a lot of strange creatures to experiment on, but it seems like he fails every time,” Xi Ruo said.
"Doing experiments? Is he a scientist?" Gu Yu asked, taken aback.
"It seems so!" Xi Ruo nodded and said, "Your aura is very similar to his."
"My aura is very similar to his?" Gu Yu frowned again.
"It's a pity you're not my big brother. He's much more powerful than you. Not to mention that Butcher guy, even Xi Ya would have to behave herself in front of him. I miss my big brother so much!" Xi Ru muttered to herself.
Even Xi Ya has to behave? Xi Ya might be a Heavenly King, and even Xi Ya has to behave? Then what is that older brother's cultivation level?
Gu Yu's expression became even more serious. "Is the older brother you mentioned also from the Star Realm?" Gu Yu asked.
If that's true, the power of the Astral Plane is terrifying. If they really allow an invasion of humanity, then humanity will be utterly powerless to resist.
“No.” Xi Ruo shook her head. “Big brother is from another world. Xi Ruo hasn’t seen big brother for a very long time. Xi Ya said that big brother hates me, so he disappeared. But I think big brother must hate Xi Ya to stop seeing me.”
"Uh!" Gu Yu was stunned again upon hearing Xi Ruo's words. Another world? Could it be that other source gates have also opened, and there is an existence even more powerful than Xi Ya among them? "What's the name of the big brother you're talking about?"
"What's your big brother's name?" Xi Ruo asked, and began to think. "I've always called him big brother, but some people call him Gan."
"Gan?" Upon hearing Xi Ruo's words, Gu Yu immediately sat up and grabbed Xi Ruo's shoulders. "The big brother you're talking about is Gan? Is he a god or demon?"
Gu Yu said, somewhat excited and incredulous.
“Yes! He is a god or demon.” Xi Ruo nodded immediately upon hearing Gu Yu’s question. “Could you be a little gentler? It hurts a bit.”
Xi Ruo, whose shoulders were being gripped by Gu Yu, said something. Gu Yu was completely shocked at this moment, and he gripped Xi Ruo's shoulders very tightly.
"Oh! I'm sorry." Hearing Xi Ruo's words, Gu Yu let go of her hand, but the shock in his eyes only grew stronger.
Xi Ruo actually met Gan. Could it be that Gan didn't die? What is the relationship between Gan and Xi Ruo?
"Xi Ruo, when did you meet Gan?" Gu Yu asked immediately.
“It’s been a long time. My older brother has been very good to me. He often cooks delicious food for me,” Xi Ruo said.
"How long is 'a long time'? Ten years? A hundred years?" Gu Yu pressed.
"No, I don't know how long it's been either. I only remember my older brother saying he had something very important to do, and then he never came back. Then the passage between the Star Boundary and the Core Land closed, and Xi Ruo just kept waiting and waiting! Xi Ruo thought that her older brother must be unable to come back because the passage was closed, and that he would be able to return when the passage opened. But one day the passage opened, but her older brother still didn't come back." Xi Ruo said, her voice choked with sobs, "That bad woman said that my older brother hates Xi Ruo, sob sob..."
"The passage is closed?" Gu Yu frowned. Was this a joke? The passage Xi Ruo was referring to was naturally the Source Gate, which they hadn't seen since it closed. Good heavens! Was this a joke? This "long time" couldn't be described in ten or a hundred years! It was countless years! Looking at Xi Ruo's sorrowful face, he could tell that she wasn't lying.
How long has Xi Ruo lived? Why does she give the impression of being just an ordinary person with no cultivation? That's impossible. Even if an ordinary person has some life-extending treasures, they can't live that long. Moreover, if they consume life-extending treasures, it's impossible for them to have no cultivation.
A series of doubts surfaced, making Gu Yu's head buzz. When Xi Ruo said that his older brother was Gan, he thought that Xi Ruo had seen Gan recently! It turned out that she had seen him before the Source Gate closed. However, he was still a little unwilling to give up. Maybe he could get some useful information from Xi Ruo!
"Xi Ruo, what is your relationship with Gan?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Xi Ruo.
"My older brother asked me if I would like to be his daughter, but I don't want to be his daughter. I want to marry him." Xi Ruo blushed when she mentioned that she wanted to marry Gan.
"Damn it." Gu Yu couldn't help but swear when he heard Xi Ruo's words.
“But he said he only sees me as his daughter and has no other intentions, which makes Xiruo very unhappy,” Xiruo said.
"Xi Ruo, do you know a lot of the secrets they've been doing?" Gu Yu asked.
"Secret? What secret?" Xi Ruo was taken aback. "Every time Big Brother does experiments, he gets himself all messy, dirty, and smelly, but he doesn't take a bath. Is that his secret?"
"Not taking a shower?" Gu Yu was taken aback. It seemed like that counted! But he wasn't interested in that.
"Oh, right, my older brother also had a wisdom tooth. It hurt so much that he went crazy, so he pulled it out and was going to tear it to pieces. But then he thought he could use it for experiments, and the tooth ended up looking exactly like my older brother. But he's really lewd and annoying. He always lies to me." Xi Ruo said, her expression turning angry.
"Forehead!"
"And another thing, Big Brother has an apprentice, also a product of experiments. That guy is even more annoying! He's shameless, insisting on becoming Big Brother's apprentice. Big Brother has never agreed, but he tells everyone he's Big Brother's apprentice. He also has a younger brother, who's even more shameless. He shamelessly stole many of Big Brother's treasures and even snatched the treasures Big Brother Xiruo gave her. He's despicable," Xiruo said indignantly.
"The guy created from an experiment? He's number two?" Gu Yu frowned.
“Wisdom Tooth said he’s number two.” Xi Ruo nodded upon hearing Gu Yu’s words.
"Do you know what number two's name is?" Gu Yu asked Xi Ruo. Judging from Xi Ruo's explanation, he was even older than Zhu Ya. Zhu Ya didn't know what number two's name was, but Xi Ruo might know?
"I don't know." Xi Ruo shook her head. "Xi Ya might know!"
Hearing Xi Ruo's words, Gu Yu felt somewhat helpless. Xi Ya might know, but if he were to ask Xi Ya now, he would probably be killed by her with a single finger.
"What's number two's younger brother's name? Do you know?"
"I don't know." Xi Ruo shook her head.
"Do you know where Number Two went?"
"have no idea."
"Do you know if Gan is still alive?" Gu Yu asked.
"Is Big Brother dead?" Xi Ruo's expression suddenly changed. "Impossible. Big Brother is very powerful. He said he is the best in the world and no one can kill him."
"He truly is the best in the world," Gu Yu murmured. He suppressed Kun and Hong, who were both gods and demons, at the Kunlun Source Gate. Huang was his experimental subject. Wasn't he the best in the world?
"Could it be that my big brother is really dead?" Tears welled up in Xi Ruo's eyes. "Impossible! This is impossible."
Suddenly, Xi Ruo unleashed an aura that immediately changed Gu Yu's expression. As her aura emerged, the stars in the sky shone with dazzling light.
"Xi Ruo, you're so powerful, how could you possibly die! Calm down, don't overthink things," Gu Yu said hurriedly. This terrifying pressure was enough to kill him. He was now certain of one thing: this Xi Ruo was no ordinary person! She was an extremely powerful being, but it seemed that she herself was unaware of her immense power.
"Big brother won't die." Hearing Gu Yu's words, Xi Ruo immediately withdrew her imposing aura, and Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xi Ruo, what is your sister Xi Ya's cultivation level?" Gu Yu asked at this moment, as he was very curious about this.
"I don't know! That bad guy calls that bad woman the Star Emperor, she must be very powerful," Xi Ruo said after thinking for a moment.
"Great Emperor?" Gu Yu was immediately shocked. Xi Ya was a Great Emperor. No wonder Hua Shen and the Four Guardians failed. He didn't know what was going on lately. Everyone was a Great Emperor. It seemed that he needed to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
"Is the Great Emperor very powerful?" Xi Ruo asked, blinking her eyes as she saw Gu Yu's shocked expression.
"Yes! Very impressive." Gu Yu nodded. "Now, basically no one can defeat him."
"Huh?" Xi Ruo exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Gu Yu's words. "Oh no, oh no, does that mean I'll never be able to kill that wicked woman?"
"Xi Ruo, what grudge do you have against Xi Ya?" Gu Yu was stunned when he heard Xi Ruo's words. Logically speaking, these two are sisters, but from Xi Ruo's words, they have reached the point of life and death. But wouldn't it be easy for Xi Ya to kill Xi Ruo? No! The aura that Xi Ruo just released is probably not simple. How could a woman who has developed cavities earlier than tooth decay be an ordinary person?
"Hmph! I hate her and don't want her to exist. She kills people every time, making Xiruo feel dirty," Xiruo said.
"Xi Ruo, you said Gan has been doing experiments, do you know where he is doing them?" Gu Yu suddenly thought of a crucial question. He still couldn't find any answers from Xi Ruo, but if he could find Gan's experimental site, perhaps he could figure something out.
“Big brother has done experiments in the Star Realm, but Xiruo can’t get into that place,” Xiruo replied after thinking for a moment.
