Chapter 2072 - 88: Sworn to Follow unto Death

"You didn’t disappoint me..."

"Your growth rate is astonishing, your talent surpasses the Five Continents."

"I’ve finally waited for the day when you came holding a bow."

Qinglong said seriously, "The only flaw is that you lack a spark. If you had a spark, you might have a chance to kill me."

But... there’s everything in this world, except for ’if’.

He stood up, and the throne shattered amid the roaring thunder.

Lin Lei’s Great Cold Origin clung to the flesh and bones, but Qinglong forcibly shattered this layer of cold with his immense and powerful Extraordinary Essence...

He could have stood up a long time ago.

He just chose not to stand up.

Just like he told Deep Sea, he wanted to see who wanted to kill him, and what means these people had.

"All of you, come at me together."

...

...

"Lord Divine, how much longer until we reach the battlefield?"

In the Pure Land Divine Country, there were countless silhouettes.

A sea of people.

Gu Shen sat under the treetop of the whispering tree, opened his eyes, looked at Tie Wu, who was rubbing his fists, and said softly, "Soon."

Tie Wu looked helpless.

He had already asked several times.

Every time the answer from Lord Divine was the same: soon.

The matter of returning home was not hidden by Li Qingci. Now, every Soul in the Pure Land yearned to "return home in glory" with Lord Netherworld!

They knew.

The Five Continents were currently in deep turmoil.

Wars and conflicts never ceased.

But if they reached the battlefield... the course of this war could be very different.

Wherever the Netherworld King’s Pure Land spreads, even the "War Sacrificial" that reproduce indefinitely by the Traveler Tribe couldn’t withstand it.

Who can fight against an immortal Undead Army?

The "Immaculate Army" that the previous Netherworld King painstakingly attempted to assemble was realized in Gu Shen’s hands.

Arriving at the perfect Pure Land, it now had a complete "Four Seasons", birthing its own world rules; the eight huge flower gardens producing a considerable amount of Extraordinary Essence daily.

The Souls Gu Shen drew into the Pure Land grew very "stout"!

This was also the main reason why Tie Wu was eager and itching to try. As the chief instructor of the hundred thousand Forbidden Army, he couldn’t wait to strike the Source Tower.

"This time, it really is nearly time to go home."

Gu Shen reached out a hand, lightly patting Tie Wu’s head across space.

This journey across billions of miles of void was now just a little distance from the final destination.

From south to north, from north to south.

Unconsciously, Gu Shen had circled the whole "world".

Following the navigation chart left by the Storm in a reverse direction, these days, Gu Shen had successively recognized familiar coordinates left in the golden spike flowers’ navigation chart. If nothing goes wrong, in merely a week’s time, they could return to the Five Continents.

Perhaps because of "the uneasiness from nearing home".

Gu Shen’s once tranquil Heart Lake had been feeling restless these past few days.

Li Qingci was also very anxious.

She worried greatly about her sister’s safety. The wars in the Five Continents, the Li Family surely wouldn’t sit idly by, and the Changye Five Families would be fully participating in the war... In this perilous torrent of war, was the little girl Qing Sui safe and sound?

"In just a few more days, we might receive a Spiritual Link from the [Angel Envoy]."

They were near the outer edge of the Ice Sea.

Once they entered the Ice Sea territory, they should be able to restore the Spiritual Link with Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu.

Gu Shen was also very uneasy, hoping to return to the Ice Sea and witness the scene of "war is over", the coalition has defeated Central Continent, Mr. Bai Shu and Empress Lin Lei have jointly suppressed Qinglong.

But...

The dangerous premonitions constantly transmitted by Chi Huo told him.

It was not that simple.

"Divine... Lord Divine..."

Just as Gu Shen was calculating, a faint call suddenly echoed in his Heart Lake.

Gu Shen was stunned for a second.

This voice, he was familiar with it.

"Golden Spike Flower?"

Gu Shen instantly left the Time Dojo, lit the Netherworld Fire between his brows, took a step, and his figure left the Starship, appearing the next moment in the void of the [Old World]!

With an Instantaneous Movement, spanning several miles, repeating this over and over.

Following his inner sense, Gu Shen quickly found the source of the voice!

In the void, a portal was crushed, a huge python was traversing the chaotic space currents, its whole body stained with blood!

Seeing the golden spike flower, Gu Shen’s eyes first showed joy, then suddenly turned somber.

Blood!

The body of the golden spike flower was covered in blood!

"Lord Divine... I finally found you..."

The golden spike flower let out a skyward roar, utterly exhausted at this moment.

The last time Gu Shen connected with the golden spike flower was when fighting with the "Silver Fox". At that time, Gu Shen hoped the golden spike flower would come and whisk him away to safety... Unfortunately, that trick of "pulling the carpet from under" wasn’t needed in the end, as Deep Sea used the Exile Array to banish him to the end of the [Old World]! Up to the very last point, he had never met the golden spike flower!

For him, the five years in exile were a "trapped dream".

But for the golden spike flower, those years were a "nightmare".

In all honesty, Gu Shen indeed wasn’t a very good master, since the maze granted the golden spike flower its freedom, he hardly cared for this big guy. During the years of uncertainty whether he was dead or alive at the Ice Sea, it was all under Mu Wanqiu’s care.

He looked at the big snake with great distress, reached out his hand, touching the body of the golden spike flower.
