I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

The eerie space was filled with mist.

The white-robed youth hovered in the void, looking down at the ground below. The ground was littered with the ruins of palaces, and amidst the broken walls were many enormous statues, some standing, some collapsed. An ancient aura permeated the entire place, and as far as the eye could see, no one else was visible.

Were the others teleported to another location?

Gu Yan rested her chin on her hand and fell into deep thought.

He unleashed his divine sense to its maximum limit. As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his divine sense range was already extremely vast, yet it still couldn't cover this space. He had no idea how large this place was. On the ground, he discovered many skeletons. Some skeletons were as black as ink, some were as clear as crystal, and some were millions of feet tall, making them terrifying to behold.

Gu Yan saw Arthur and the others who had been sucked in with him. They were now searching this strange place, just like him, all of them very cautiously.

Gu Yan ignored the others and flew towards a place a hundred miles away.

At the farthest point of sight, hundreds of miles away, a majestic and undulating "mountain range" could be vaguely seen. However, when her gaze truly fell upon the outline of that colossal creature, Gu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart almost stopped beating.

That wasn't some mountain that nurtured life at all, but rather the unimaginably massive remains of a dragon skeleton.

What a sight it was!

An ancient dragon that had perished countless eons ago, its flesh and blood long since decayed and decayed over the ages, leaving only a pale, chilling skeleton lying across the horizon.

This dragon skeleton is enormous. A single finger bone is probably more majestic than an ordinary mountain peak. The winding spine, with its ridges rising and falling, stretches across the entire field of vision like the Great Wall. Roughly estimated, this skeleton stretches for at least tens of millions of feet!

Although it has long lost the warmth of life, the lingering aura on every bone is still incredibly powerful.

On that enormous skull, two broken dragon horns pierced the sky, and the empty, dark eye sockets resembled two bottomless ancient wells, still retaining their former majesty and ferocity. Even though it was just a skeleton, the dragon's might that suppressed all heavens and looked down upon all living beings was still like a tangible gravitational field, making it hard to breathe, and even the soul trembled.

Before this colossal dragon skeleton that blots out the sky, all living beings are as insignificant as ants. It lies there silently, like an altar or a giant tombstone, recounting some ancient and terrifying truth.

"What a powerful aura!" Gu Yan exclaimed.

He stared intently at the dragon bone, then reached out and touched it, muttering to himself, "This guy was probably a Celestial King in his previous life, and not just any ordinary Celestial King..."

The Azure Dragon Flag in the Purple Mansion emitted a strong fluctuation.

As Gu Yan reached out, a blue light surged in his palm, and then a banner several meters tall appeared behind him. The banner was dark blue-black, shimmering with a blue glow, and embroidered with a blue dragon totem. The blue dragon totem seemed to come alive at this moment, its eyes moving, and then the entire blue dragon began to swim on the banner.

Gu Yan sensed the Azure Dragon Banner's desire for the dragon bone and asked, "Do you want me to take the dragon bone into it?"

Thinking about it, I think this is a good idea; it can enhance the power of the Azure Dragon Flag.

So he reached out and grabbed the Azure Dragon Banner. With a sweep of the banner, it billowed and emitted a vast expanse of azure light. This azure light, like a torrent, swept up the massive skeleton of an ancient dragon, drawing it into the Azure Dragon Banner and merging it with the dragon totem on it.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged in the void, placed hundreds of restrictions on the floating Azure Dragon Banner, then used her magic power to refine the Azure Dragon Banner again, enhancing its power once more, before storing it in her Purple Mansion.

After doing all this, he remembered the lost Vermilion Bird Banner, White Tiger Banner, and Black Tortoise Banner, and he was determined to find a chance to retrieve them. If his master knew that he had lost the magical treasures left by their ancestors, he would definitely be unhappy, right? Maybe he wouldn't be unhappy, but he would definitely think he was useless.

Just as he was thinking about the goddess who had injured him and planning to take revenge on her in the future, he heard screams coming from afar.

Huh?

What happened?

Then, an extremely terrifying pressure descended, instantly turning Gu Yan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, pale as paper.

This kind of oppressive force is...

Gu Yan extended his divine sense forward and saw a dark red beam of light shooting into the sky. The beam's range was terrifying, covering a thousand miles. At its center was a dark figure, seemingly a man in black robes. The man's long white hair was whipped upwards by the storm, obscuring his face, but his aura was enough to terrify Gu Yan.

Arthur and the other high-ranking gods were instantly annihilated in the red light.

The red light continued to expand, and wherever it reached, everything turned to dust.

Gu Yan retreated rapidly, and the red light instantly appeared before him. He dared not touch the red light and immediately summoned the Tai Chi Diagram. The Tai Chi Diagram transformed into a giant scroll that circled around Gu Yan, and the red light vanished upon contact.

Gu Yan stepped onto the Tai Chi diagram, floating in the void, looking into the distance.

A figure appeared, moving at an astonishing speed.

It was a man with white hair and red eyes, handsome features, and a tall stature, dressed in a magnificent black robe. But his expression was like that of a madman, and his aura was terrifyingly powerful, as if he could crush the heavens. Gu Yan had only ever felt this kind of aura from Qing Xuanzi.

God Emperor! This guy is the God Emperor!!

Gu Yan was shocked, but what shocked him most was not the man's terrifying strength, but that this person's face and figure were exactly the same as Dugu Xun's. He looked exactly like Dugu Xun, Dugu Yun, and Dugu Yeli.

Who, who, is this Dugu Xun's ancestor?

The creature fixed its gaze on Gu Yan, its blood-red eyes now churning with a chilling madness—a pure, primal, even pleasurable, destructive desire. A suffocating, terrifying pressure crashed down like a landslide or tsunami.

The next instant, the God Emperor, who seemed to have gone mad, transformed into a shrill black and red streak of light, tearing through the void with a piercing shriek, rushing straight towards Gu Yan at such a speed that it left no afterimage.

Gu Yan quickly used the Tai Chi diagram to block the attack.

Rumbling--

Five-colored light enveloped Gu Yan, and red and black light waves transformed into a hurricane that spread outwards. Amidst the deafening roar, numerous dense spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the entire space, yet miraculously, it did not collapse.

Gu Yan was enveloped by the Tai Chi diagram and flew out. She didn't know how far she flew before crashing to the ground.

Although he fell quite hard, he was not injured because of the protection of the Tai Chi symbol.

Gu Yan dusted herself off, picked up the Tai Chi diagram, and stood up.
