Chapter 174: A Great Conspiracy, a Dark Divine Runemaster!

In the sky above the wilderness, the raging flames instantly turned pale and turned into cold ice shards that fell down.
“Boss…”
This was Zhao Feng’s last word before he lost consciousness.
“Little ant!”
The ambusher seemed to be playing around with his prey and wasn’t in a hurry to kill Zhao Feng. He stood proudly in the air, black fog surging around him. Behind him stood countless extremely vicious and evil beast illusions of all shapes and sizes.
The power of all kinds of black divine runes gushed out from his body, and they constantly appeared and disappeared.
The Ehearch Armor on his body was constantly shattering and reforming. It didn’t seem to have a fixed form.
“Kekeke! Finally, I have a new round of prey.”
The attacker was wearing black armor that was gushing with black mist as its form changed at any time he wanted. The black mist around him was monstrous as he laughed evilly in the sky.
“Boss, huh? If your boss doesn’t come over soon, you’re going to die!”
He let out a hoarse, sharp, and sinister laugh. He slowly raised his hand, and a terrifying claw light shot out from his palm toward the unconscious Zhao Feng.
Boom!
However, at this moment, his attack was broken apart by a powerful force.
Bang!
Then, the attacker was sent flying by a terrifying blood spear, making his strange laughter stop abruptly.
He broke through a few mountain ranges and was embedded deep into it.
Gu Changqing arrived and recalled the blood spear. He stood in the air and looked at the collapsed mountain range in the distance.
The attack just now didn’t seem to have done much damage to the evil creature. But in a flash, he also discovered the creature’s strange form.
It clearly had a human-like body and appearance. However, it had almost no trace of human life. Could this be a product of some kind of mutation?
Gu Changqing could not judge for the time being, but he could only get the answer after subduing the creature.
Boundless black fog suddenly appeared in the shattered mountain range.
Swoosh…
Several mountain ranges were turned into dust by this power. A black fog-like light pillar with a diameter of several thousand feet suddenly shot toward Gu Changqing from afar.
“You’re quite capable!”
Gu Changqing’s eyes were slightly frightened. It had been a while since he had encountered a decent opponent.
Yesterday, in that mysterious tower, the shadow he met was already a small surprise. He did not expect to meet a second one. The energy pillar zoomed toward Gu Changqing in a flash.
Weng!
In the next moment, the Human Skull’s elephant appeared in the sky, holding a grayish-white bone shield in front of Gu Changqing.
He wanted to see how strong this creature was.
Accompanied by a loud sound, the light pillar blasted over, setting off a shock wave that formed a fan-shaped dried lake in the wilderness.
In the sky, the violent and mixed divine runes’ powers were hostile to each other as they clashed, exploding into fireworks that filled the sky.
“Hehehe…
Strange laughter came from the distance. A black smoke ball flew over from afar and clashed heavily with the bone shield.
The bone shield did not move at all. The attacker’s eyes turned blood-red as he landed on the bone shield like a spider.
Hiss…
A tooth-numbing sound rang out. The ambusher was like a wild beast without intelligence, using his sharp claws to try and tear a hole in the shield. “He was once a Divine Runemaster, but how did he become like this?” Gu Changqing felt an ancient aura exuding from the creature.
He thought of what Emperor Qin had once said about those Divine Runemasters who entered Universe City a billion years ago.
Ultimately, due to some reason, some of them couldn’t leave in time when the city closed. Where did they go in the end?
Now, he had the answer.
Some of Gu Changqing’s previous guesses seemed to have received confirmation at this moment.
It turned out that they had all become Dark Divine Runemasters because they had absorbed too much power from the beasts around.
“Kekeke! Descendants of those blasphemers? Hehehe, I didn’t expect there to be such a powerful figure like you. If I let you continue to grow, you might be able to follow those peoples’ footsteps!”
The Dark Divine Runemaster seemed to know a lot of things. He stared at Gu Changqing who was behind the bone shield with evil and murderous intent.
“Blasphemers? The footsteps of those people?”
Gu Changqing frowned. It was the first time he heard this.
What did he mean by blasphemy? Which God was he blaspheming?
Who were ‘those people’?
Could it be the humans part of Blue Star’s origin?
How did the other party know all this?
Crack!
wnue Gu cnangqlng was deep In tnougnt, ne realized tnat tne Done snield was actually beginning to crack under the creature.
“You have some tricks up your sleeve!”
Gu Changqing was extremely curious about this Dark Divine Runemaster. He grabbed the latter and asked him everything he knew.
Buzz!
The Tai Chi Diagram behind him spun, and the Yin-Yang power fused into the bone shield. The cracked shield flowed with divine light and Yin-Yang power.
In an instant, it was restored to its original state. No matter how hard the creature tried, the shield couldn’t be shaken at all.
Roar!
Realizing that the flames were ineffective against the bone shield, the Dark Divine Runemaster increased his strength in anger, but it was still useless. He raised his hand in anger and brought down a black fog beam from the sky. “Is this the move he used to deal with Taotie Vermilion Bird?”
Gu Changqing raised his head and looked at the light beam in the sky, letting it land on him without fear.
“Hehehe…
Seeing that Gu Changqing had been hit by the beam, the creature let out a terrifying laugh.
When the huge light beam dissipated, another deep pit appeared in the wilderness. However, Gu Changqing was still standing unharmed in the middle of the pit. The land under his feet was still intact.
At this moment, Zhao Feng had already woken up under the reverse Yin-Yang energy treatment.
Looking around, he realized that he had walked through the gates of hell and was saved by his boss, Gu Changqing.
But now wasn’t the time to talk as he silently stood behind Gu Changqing. Having such a boss in front of him was really the greatest blessing for a subordinate.
Seeing that his best attack was ineffective, the Dark Divine Runemaster flew into a rage, but there was nothing he could do.
As if he was weighing the pros and cons, he looked at Gu Changqing’s eyes and did not say anything. All of a sudden, he turned around and ran.
“In front of me, you can’t run away!”
Gu Changqing saw that the other party was about to escape. He snorted and chased after him with his Blood Spear.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, he chased after the creature. The Blood Spear in Gu Changqing’s hand burst with boundless light. The brutal blood-red lightning on the spear wreaked havoc as it aimed straight for the other party.
“As expected of a human!”
The Dark Divine Runemaster turned around and formed a seal to activate a black fog vortex as a way to shake the opponent off.
Bang!
However, Gu Changqing’s attack was extremely overbearing. It was so powerful that it seemed to be able to tear apart everything in the world. It destroyed the black fog vortex the creature had activated and sent him flying to the ground, creating a deep hole with a radius of dozens of miles.
After knocking the other party down, Gu Changqing shifted and appeared above the hole.
The creature’s armor was broken, and blood was flowing out of his body. He was twitching on the verge of death.
“Hehehe, kill me, and there will be even more incomprehensible creatures waiting for you.”
He didn’t seem to be afraid of death. He only spat out blood and laughed strangely.
Gu Changqing was silent, and he used his King of Hell’s Psychic Power to check his memories
Bang!
No one had expected that the moment the Psychic Power entered the creature’s sea of consciousness, the latter’s entire head would explode and he would lose all signs of life..
