Chapter 1052: Gongyang Qingrou: Destruction Has Nothing to Do with You
......
Lu Ding laughed at that. Although with Bai Hemen's current cultivation level, it probably wouldn't be possible for him to kill Lu Teng in the future, given Lu Ding's trust in Bai Hemen's talent, the possibility wasn't small at all.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't trouble you with this little matter for now."
The kid was too single-minded. Lu Ding was genuinely afraid he might stir up some trouble.
Of course.
Lu Ding wasn't worried about Lu Teng.
He was worried that Bai Hemen might get hurt going after Lu Teng.
Bai Hemen nodded: "Oh oh, alright then."
Afterward, Lu Ding glanced around.
"Where's Zhang Wei? Isn't he always sticking to your side? How come I don't see him?"
Bai Hemen: "I found him annoying, so I sent him off to play by himself."
Although he liked following Lu Ding, he really didn't like others following him.
Because Bai Hemen felt that
if someone followed him, he'd have to make decisions himself.
It was like back when he and Yan Feifan followed Lu Ding on missions.
Lu Ding was always the one leading.
But Bai Hemen couldn't come up with any good ideas himself.
Every time, it left him feeling conflicted and drained.
Eventually, whenever Huangfu Lingyun came over, he'd just get cut down.
But even so, Huangfu Lingyun still stuck to him like a stubborn plaster.
Lu Ding looked around a few times and, not finding Huangfu Lingyun, said: "Alright, forget about him for now. The main force is heading that way. Let him follow the escort team handling the seized goods and send things back first."
"Let's go over there."
With that, he led Bai Hemen toward the hidden direction of the Great Wilderness Realm, catching up with Gongyang Qingrou and Yan Feifan.
The group crossed mountains and valleys.
So far.
Aside from the escorts and the severely injured investigators, the remaining two thousand three to four hundred investigators had all followed them here.
They stopped in the midst of these seemingly ordinary rugged mountains.
Gongyang Qingrou stood at the front.
Yan Feifan nodded to Lu Ding in acknowledgment, then spoke: "Senior Gongyang, this is where we've pinpointed the signal source."
Gongyang Qingrou turned back and glanced at Lu Ding.
Then.
She raised her hands.
Her fingers flew with rapid movements.
The wind howled fiercely across the sky and earth.
Gongyang Qingrou's speed grew faster and faster.
The gale gradually gathered into a swirling storm.
Subtly.
The wind sweeping through heaven and earth coalesced into a massive human figure, moving in sync with Gongyang Qingrou, peeling away the invisible Array bit by bit.
Slowly.
A faint, illusory scene appeared among these rugged mountains. Within it, pavilions, terraces, towering peaks, and flowing waters unfolded, resembling a perfect paradise.
Like a celestial realm.
All the investigators stood ready.
Each one was on high alert, killing intent boiling over. They only waited for the Great Wilderness Realm's door to open and Lu Ding's command to charge in and raze this beautiful land to the ground!!!!
At that moment, within the Great Wilderness Realm, the sky shook and the earth trembled.
There's a saying: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.
As the investigators outside the Great Wilderness Realm looked into it.
The demonic spirits within the Great Wilderness Realm also saw the thousands upon thousands of 749 Bureau investigators hovering in the sky outside.
Someone let out a shriek first.
"7!! 4!! 9!!!!"
Instantly.
The entire Great Wilderness Realm erupted into chaos.
The demonic spirits poured out in full force.
Inside the Desolate Lord's Eastern Palace.
The Disaster Mother sensed the Array gradually collapsing. She immediately called someone over and delivered the classic line: "Quick, take Dou'er and hide. No matter what happens, don't come out."
With that.
She pressed a kiss to the boy's forehead, her heart already knowing that if the Great Wilderness Realm fell today, her fate might very well be irreversible. Thus, the Disaster Mother's eyes were gentle, filled with love: "Mommy loves you."
Although the boy's actual age was not small.
His mental maturity, however, had never grown much.
But even so.
He understood that something bad was about to happen.
He struggled in the old servant's arms, shouting: "Mom!! Mom!!!!!!"
Each cry.
Made the Disaster Mother tremble with every syllable.
But in the end, she still walked out of the Eastern Palace without looking back.
Watching the sealing Array gradually crumble until it became transparent, the Disaster Mother's heart sank straight to rock bottom.
"How is this possible... how is this possible..."
She couldn't believe Lu Ding had summoned such a terrifying Array expert to break the Great Wilderness Realm's sealing Array.
This current Array in the Great Wilderness Realm had been passed down from thousands of years ago.
It could isolate the entire Great Wilderness Realm between real existence and defined existence.
The whole system was formed by countless large, medium, and small Arrays interlinked, Array within Array.
But now, it was being peeled away, destroyed one by one, forcefully dragging the Great Wilderness Realm back into reality.
Let alone the Array mastery of such a powerhouse, just the amount of Spiritual Energy and cultivation level required for this massive undertaking was something the current Great Wilderness Realm could never handle.
It was like.
If a traditional bow could shoot far, you couldn't just praise the bow's quality and the arrow's sharpness; you also had to consider the archer's arm strength and accuracy. Bowmen weren't just long-range killers and close-combat glass cannons in the conventional sense.
They could draw the bow and also twist off an enemy's neck.
A simple example: cavalry archer Guan Yu, infantry archer Zhang Fei.
Both were ruthless!
A skilled Array master was equally terrifying in combat.
Seeing the grand Array rapidly collapsing, about to be destroyed at any moment.
The Disaster Mother glared at the culprit, Gongyang Qingrou, who was hard at work, and demanded: "Senior!!! Why must you make things difficult for my Great Wilderness Realm!!!?"
Gongyang Qingrou didn't stop her hand movements, her expression calm. Although she had treated Lu Ding as an equal and even apologized earlier.
As a powerhouse, she had her own pride. She respected Lu Ding, but that didn't mean she respected everyone.
She opened her mouth and said: "Destruction has nothing to do with you. Today..."
Before she could finish.
Lu Ding's voice rang out: "Stop talking nonsense with her!!!"
Boom!!!!
【Celestial Shift】exploded into action.
Lu Ding teleported instantly.
He pierced through the last layer of the Array's seal in a flash.
With an attack the Disaster Mother could never have imagined, he appeared right before her.
【Life-and-Death Dao Fruit】 controlled life and death, 【Way of the Jinche】 cut through anything, and 【Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking】 could lift the heavens.
Every aperture in his body burst open, engulfed in black smoke. His eyes blazed with red light, radiating a sense of invincibility.
Both palms struck like toppling a stele!!!!
They slammed viciously into the Disaster Mother's chest.
All that chattering and babbling was useless. Better to strike first and seize the advantage!!!
Boom!!!!!!
The eerie and supreme power of life-and-death force, the numerical and mechanical dominance of the Way of the Jinche, and the brutal simplicity of Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking.
At this moment, they erupted simultaneously!!!!
The Disaster Mother's entire body was instantly shattered, exploding into clouds of blood mist.
Sneaky, so sneaky! Both mechanics and numbers working together!
With 【Celestial Shift】, wherever his gaze could reach and whatever his thoughts could conceive, as long as there was a confirmed concept in his mind, he arrived in an instant, without any startup or cooldown, without the slightest space fluctuation. Pair that with life-and-death force, the Way of the Jinche, Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking, and other abilities.
This move was beyond anything the Disaster Mother could handle.
Even Gongyang Qingrou wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
Especially the 【Way of the Jinche】—it was purely overpowered!
