Everlasting Immortal Firmament Vol 2 Chapter 96

Book 2: Chapter 96: Dragon Fixing Hoop Displaying Its Might

Gu Hai took out a gold ingot with a flip of his hand.

“Watch carefully where this ingot lands. Jump to where the ingot vanishes, and that will do!” Gu Hai said.

Right after saying that, Gu Hai tossed the ingot into the death puzzle.

After watching carefully, Long Wanqing and her two servants instantly jumped in. Their figures trembled as they entered the Go puzzle world. Then, the three materialized three black Go stone clones that floated above the Go board.

When the three jumped into the death puzzle world, countless cultivators outside revealed confused expressions.

“What are Gu Hai and the others doing? They were doing well with the life puzzle, but they jumped into the death puzzle?”

“Indeed. The death puzzle clearly leads to certain death. Why did the Elite Hall Master suddenly jump in?”

“Why did they not continue the life puzzle?”

Confusion filled the eyes of countless cultivators.

At this moment, a figure wearing black-and-white robes stood among the countless cultivators under a tree on a summit. The Unborn Man had arrived long ago.

The Unborn Man looked at the distant Go puzzle in silence.

“Gu Hai's Go skills? Old Mister Guan Qi, you finally found a successor. However, he does not seem that enthusiastic about your inheritance. Ha!” The Unborn Man smiled coldly.

The Unborn Man did not seem to care about Long Wanqing entering the death puzzle.

“Long Wanqing? The lass's daughter? Who exactly is your father? That bastard. He actually let the lass's death go unavenged for so many years? Humph!” The Unborn Man's voices contained a chill.

Gu Hai stood beside the life puzzle on the gigantic, transparent peony flower as he looked at the nearby Go puzzle with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Adoptive Father, although you told the hall master to keep her guard up against Li Haoran, I feel that she did not listen,” Gu Qin said worriedly.

Gu Hai nodded as he said, “I know. However, I can only do so much for certain things. She already went in. Although she is smart, she can be quite blind sometimes. Intelligence quotient and emotional quotient are different. Her actions prove her to be an overly emotional person. There is no point in saying too much. She can only experience it for herself!”

“However, given this…?” Gu Qin said worriedly.

Gu Hai looked at the life puzzle. Then, he looked at the nearby death puzzle and said, “Wait here! I'll get another golden Go stone!”

“Another one? There are more?” Gu Qin exclaimed in shock.

“It is the one that Fu Xue used, the one for controlling the transparent Go stones,” Gu Hai explained.

“Ah? Didn't Wei Yang shatter it?” Gu Qin asked in surprise.

“Of the past, present, and future, only the present is real. The present always exists!” Gu Hai shook his head.

“Huh?” Gu Qin revealed a confused expression.

However, Gu Hai had already stepped forward and jumped.

This caused an even larger commotion outside.

“Has Gu Hai gone mad? Didn't he solve the life puzzle? Why did he jump into the death puzzle?” Countless cultivators outside appeared confused.

Some of the cultivators tried entering the life puzzle's region, hoping to pick the fruits of Gu Hai's efforts.

Whoosh!

When these people leaped onto the gigantic peony flower, they instantly got sucked into the death puzzle's region.

“No! Why?! Why?! This is not fair!” those cultivators immediately roared in despair.

Why can't we enter the life puzzle's region? We also got sucked into the death puzzle. Since we entered, we can only die at Meng Tai's hands!

Gu Qin stared at where Gu Hai vanished. Gu Hai had jumped to where the transparent Go stones were and immediately materialized a transparent Go stone clone.

“Milord went to where the transparent Go stones are? There are only the injured Fu Xue and three thousand-odd spirit-assimilated cultivators?” one of the evil men behind Gu Qin said in confusion.

“Whoosh!”

When Gu Hai jumped into the death puzzle, he felt his surroundings tremble as though something was forming.

He saw a transparent Go stone floating above the Go board with an indistinct golden thread connecting to him when he looked up.

Bang!

Gu Hai suddenly fell into a valley.

The ground below had turned transparent. Like the outside, everyone could see the suppressed dragon vein below and the eight-colored peony flower inheritance. The ground showed some cracks.

However, the surroundings were of a world with forests, mountains, and rivers.

Gu Hai had landed in an extremely immense valley.

Some cultivators stood on the mountain peak outside the valley as though to prevent the people in the valley from coming out. However, there were thirty thousand-odd spirit-assimilated cultivators around Gu Hai, all of them showing ferocious expressions while the snakes on their heads bared their fangs.

“This valley is where the black Go stones and white Go stones have trapped the transparent Go stones?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

“Who are you?”

“You are Gu Hai? Why are you here too?”

“Gu Hai failed to solve the life puzzle?”

The spirit-assimilated cultivators discovered Gu Hai and immediately surrounded him.

“I can sense Gu Hai's heart beating. His heart and liver must be delectable!” One of the spirit-assimilated cultivators revealed a ferocious expression.

“Damn it! I appeared here for some reason and got spirit-assimilated by the primogenitor. I don't even know if I can get out. In any case, I can't be bothered anymore. Just eat him?”

“Eat him!”

The spirit-assimilated cultivators eyed Gu Hai with ferocious expressions.

“Who knows who will be eating whom?!” Gu Hai revealed a cold smile.

When Gu Hai extended his hand, a crimson saber appeared in his left hand while his right hand slowly reached for his torso.

Schick!

Gu Hai pulled out the Life Ender Saber from his body, and surging black energy instantly encased him.

The scene of Gu Hai pulling out a rib to use as a saber made the spirit-assimilated cultivators rushing over hesitate in horror.

“A ri…rib?!” one of the spirit-assimilated cultivators exclaimed.

Gu Hai turned his head to look at the spirit-assimilated cultivators in the valley and said with a dark expression, “Rather than die to the ritual array, you might as well die at my hands!”

Right after Gu Hai spoke, he stomped and charged at the spirit-assimilated cultivators surrounding him.

The crimson saber sent surging energy into Gu Hai's body, pushing him to the level of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. However, the spirit-assimilated cultivators here were mostly Golden Core Realm cultivators and Innate Realm cultivators. The difference was too great; they were simply no match for Gu Hai.

Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching!

The Life Ender Saber showed its ferocious side with extreme speed. The instant it cut into a spirit-assimilated cultivator's skin, a black fog with tiny skulls rushed over.

“Ah! Ghosts!”

“His saber is eating someone!”

“Don't! Don't eat me! Save me! Save Me!”

“Primogenitor, save me!”

Surging black energy encased Gu Hai as he started a massacre. He rushed about the place where the spirit-assimilated cultivators gathered, wantonly slaughtering them.

These spirit-assimilated cultivators would take pleasure in eating humans after escaping this place, so Gu Hai did not show any mercy, ferociously slaughtering them.

Anyone the black energy encased started screaming miserably shortly after. After the black energy passed, only dry bones remained. The expressions of the spirit-assimilated cultivators who saw this changed.

The roles of attacker and defender flipped in an instant. Gu Hai initiated a massacre with absolute power, killing one hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators in the blink of an eye. However, he continued killing.

When the spirit-assimilated cultivators saw the black energy, they immediately turned and ran in horror.

However, Gu Hai had his strength pushed to the limits by the crimson saber. There was no way to escape. It was just the difference between dying earlier or later.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Everywhere the Life Ender Saber passed, dry bones appeared. The surging black energy swept through the valley where the spirit-assimilated cultivators gathered. Gu Hai alone chased after tens of thousands of spirit-assimilated cultivators.

“Primogenitor, save me! Save me! Primogenitor! Argh!”

“It's Gu Hai! Save me! It's Gu Hai!”

“Gu Hai! I am a Peony Sect disciple! We are all Peony Sect disciples! We have no grudge with you!”

“Gu Hai, how dare you try to kill me?! Argh!”

Miserable screams filled the entire valley. Horror instantly spread in all directions.

In a corner of the valley:

A group of spirit-assimilated cultivators surrounded a blood-covered Fu Xue, protecting him as he rested.

Suddenly, miserable screams came from the distance, causing the spirit-assimilated cultivators' expressions to change.

The resting Fu Xue suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in them.

“Primogenitor, it's Gu Hai! He is re-creating the scene from the First Song Sect!” one of the spirit-assimilated cultivators said as his expression turned unsightly.

Everyone saw a black fog surging towards the surrounding spirit-assimilated cultivators in the distance and leaving only dry bones in its wake everywhere it went. Fu Xue's face sank at the horrifying speed of the slaughter.

“Gu Hai again?” Fu Xue's face was gloomy.

This was not Fu Xue's first clash with Gu Hai. He had fought Gu Hai at the First Song Sect's entrance and outside the Gu Residence. However, he had failed to gain any advantages.

“Humph!” Fu Xue snorted coldly.

Fu Xue slowly stood up, then pushed off the ground, suddenly rushing towards Gu Hai.

This time, Fu Xue wanted to kill Gu Hai in one strike. He did not want to waste any words with Gu Hai in case he got tricked again.

Boom!

Fu Xue shot over like a fired cannonball, instantly arriving in the black foggy region, and clawed at Gu Hai, who was within the black fog.

“Roar!”

When Fu Xue swung his hand, it took the shape of a dragon claw. It looked like it could tear everything apart and rip Gu Hai to shreds in an instant.

“Fu Xue? I've been waiting for you for a long time!” Gu Hai guffawed.

Buzz! Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot out of the black fog. A golden hoop crashed into the dragon claw.

Boom!

The dragon claw shattered with a loud report. It seemed like the light from the golden hoop was specially made to disintegrate the dragon claw's energy.

“This is?” Fu Xue's expression changed.

“The Dragon Fixing Hoop, a treasure forged to deal with dragons!” Gu Hai sneered.

“That's impossible. What's your current cultivation? How could you refine the Dragon Fixing Hoop?” Fu Xue exclaimed.

“I infused my Veritable Essence into it and discovered that it was only the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array. I am very familiar with this ritual array. After my Veritable Essence circled the ritual array once, I could use this Dragon Fixing Hoop as I pleased!” Gu Hai laughed from within the black fog.

As Gu Hai spoke, the Dragon Fixing Hoop suddenly enlarged and released a dazzling golden light as it tried to catch Fu Xue.

“No! No! You're extraordinary at Go?! Why?!” Fu Xue turned and fled in horror.

However, the Dragon Fixing Hoop instantly accelerated and crashed into Fu Xue.

Boom!

“Roar!”

Fu Xue roared as the Dragon Fixing Hoop's immense power forced it to revert to its true form, turning into a one-thousand-six-hundred-meter-long flood dragon.

Buzz!

The Dragon Fixing Hoop seemed to possess great strength, pressing down on Fu Xue like a mountain.

“No! You bastard! How could you have an enchanted treasure targeted at dragons?” the flood dragon roared as it struggled. Its figure squirmed, trying to break free of the Dragon Fixing Hoop.

However, the Dragon Fixing Hoop was an enhanced treasure forged by Old Mister Guan Qi. Naturally, it possessed horrifying might, so Fu Xue found even moving difficult.

“Kill Gu Hai! Everyone, attack! Kill Gu Hai! Even if we have to tire him to death, do that! If anyone does not attack, I'll kill that person!” the flood dragon roared ferociously.

“Hah!” The spirit-assimilated cultivators immediately charged at Gu Hai in the black fog.
