Chapter 624: Chapter 157: Mortal, God

The Great Cold Disaster Realm, blanketed the entire Qingzhong Cemetery.

Except for the mysterious mountain located in the deepest part of the inner mausoleum, the rest of the place was covered in frost. Those who stepped in were dragged into this boundless, silent "Ice Plain Dream."

Apart from Chu Ling, who possessed a considerable amount of computational power, it was almost impossible for anyone else to find the "entrance" leading to the inner mausoleum in this Great Cold Disaster Realm.

Shen Li initially thought that after he and Miss Chu Ling collided with that towering snow mountain, they might "die."

But unexpectedly!

He seemed to leave this massive disaster realm, and amidst the howling wind and snow, the entire world turned dark.

At the end of the darkness, there was a slowly burning beacon.

That beacon... was Gu Shen!

Before he could feel joy, a flash of purple light shot out from the corner of his peripheral vision.

Xu Yan, who was using the "Apostle Token" to traverse, had been "closely following" them. Suddenly, his speed surged!

He hadn’t put forth his full effort until now—waiting for this moment—

A palm strike!

This palm strike, burning with immense divine power, appeared directly behind Chu Ling!

Chu Ling’s expression was grave, she burned the last Black Flower to speed up, but the purple light was faster than her spent essence...

A faint sense of oppressive space fracturing...

If struck by this as an ordinary human...

One would probably turn to ashes instantly, right?

Just as the purple light was about to hit her back.

"Buzz—"

A crisp clang of iron.

Shen Li broke free from Chu Ling’s grasp, turning around to meet the palm strike!

The towering Iron Eater surged forth again, transforming into a mountain-like figure. With a hoarse roar, it threw dozens of punches in an instant to contend with Xu Yan’s dark assault.

Seeing this scene.

Xu Yan’s expression remained emotionless, he just sneered.

Unhesitant, his palm strike pressed down fiercely!

Dozens of fist shadows shattered in an instant, and just as the purple light was about to strike Shen Li’s chest.

From afar, a shout of anger erupted.

"Xu Yan! How dare you!"

This voice, like rolling thunder, like the Divine Court’s wrath, echoed in the dark void miles away!

Xu Yan’s expression changed abruptly.

He recognized this voice... it was Gu Shen’s!

However, what shocked him was the terrifying power contained in this voice.

Just four words, yet they made his consciousness tremble and waver!

The next moment, a dazzling figure burning with Chi Huo burst from the distant darkness, instantly arriving before Xu Yan. Thousands of ancient text-engraved Array Pattern Diagrams transformed into streams of light, smashing together to form an impenetrable barrier in front of Shen Li, blocking Xu Yan’s palm strike!

At the critical moment!

"Boom—"

The immense palm wind exploded in the void, along the thin Light Fortress formed by the Array Pattern Diagrams, sending waves crashing a dozen meters away. The scene was terrifyingly spectacular.

Shen Li, merely twenty centimeters away from the palm strike, was pale.

When the Iron Eater’s fist shadows shattered, he felt the breath of "death."

If that palm strike... hit him.

His body would have been shattered!

"Brother Gu..."

Shen Li looked at the dazzling figure floating beside him, feeling reassured, as if the sky fell, he wouldn’t be afraid. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and the towering shadow of the Iron Eater respectfully saluted Gu Shen before slowly dissipating into the air.

"I am here."

Gu Shen spoke softly, the words were not only for Shen Li but also for Chu Ling.

He looked at the girl in the red Divine Sacrificial Clothes before him.

Slowly extended his hand.

Gu Shen’s voice was soft because all this seemed too surreal.

It was like a dream in the disaster realm.

He was afraid it was false.

"I am here too."

Chu Ling smiled, reached out, and held Gu Shen’s hand.

It was real.

This time, Chu Ling felt Gu Shen’s warmth...

Gu Shen also felt Chu Ling’s warmth.

He truly touched her.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

He looked at Xu Yan in front of him.

At this moment, even if all the "Apostles" of the Source Tower appeared, he would stand fearlessly!

The two figures exchanged a look, their Spiritual Link rebuilt at an extremely close distance... even without this link, they understood each other better than lovers who spent day and night together.

Just a simple glance, a slight movement.

The Black Flower, burned to its last stem, sent a vast amount of Extraordinary Essence into Chu Ling’s body.

Extraordinary Essence?

Gu Shen had plenty of it!

"Splash..."

Accompanied by the sound of essence surging like waves in the void.

The forehead of the girl in the red sacrificial clothes glowed with a blazing black brilliance.

They lunged forward instantly.

Chu Ling took the lead, she extended a palm towards Xu Yan’s brow, her red sacrificial clothes blooming in the void like a sea of crabapple flowers, churning out hundreds of waves.

Xu Yan felt no remorse.

He extended both hands, not retreating but advancing, aiming to hit Chu Ling’s head.

The "Apostle" who had ignited the Divine Throne Token would never avoid battle! Never retreat from battle!
