Chapter 370: Myriad Medicines Divine Lord: Am I Going to Die Again?

~8 min read 1,505 words

Gu Yuan stood below, looking up at the constantly collapsing and reforming law turbulence on the Heavenly Dome, yet he didn't even furrow his brow.

"Abandon the world and run?"

Gu Yuan shook his head, his tone casual,

"If I spent all that effort in the Great Yin, wouldn't that be for nothing? Although this world's level isn't high, I'm very curious how a saint could bypass myriad laws and wield power near that of an immortal… This realm surpasses even that of the young master."

"Besides, Senior Myriad Medicines, I hate doing losing business."

"Young master! What time is this now? As long as the green hills remain!"

Myriad Medicines Divine Lord was so anxious his voice almost cracked.

"Even though this world is precious, one shouldn't sacrifice their life for it."

Youquan also noticed Myriad Medicines Divine Lord's predicament, his wild laughter piercing the clouds.

"Turns out you're just a patchwork monster strong outside but weak inside; I thought you were some unparalleled expert."

Youquan formed seals with both hands, the vast gray-black mist turning into billions of spikes that poured down like a torrential rain, sealing off all of Myriad Medicines Divine Lord's escape routes.

"Since you master and servant are so devoted, let's stay together—I'll extract your true spirits and roast them on the world-ending demonic fire for ten million years!"

Gu Yuan sighed, paying no heed to the killing intent filling the sky.

In his sea of consciousness, he lazily tapped on the entity that had been playing dead.

"Little Love classmate, stop pretending to be dead—have you had enough of the show?"

The system gave no response.

Gu Yuan wasn't in a hurry either, his tone calm as if chatting about household matters:

"During this time, my Gu family hasn't mobilized on a large scale, nor have many strong individuals come alone—you've been reaping commissions quite nicely, haven't you? Now I'm in trouble; you can't really let your host be sliced into pieces, can you?"

The sea of consciousness remained as quiet as a chicken.

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly and directly threw out his trump card:

"Fine, if you won't help me, I'll just detonate this world and run with Senior Myriad Medicines—after all, it's just one world; my Gu family can afford the loss. We'll part ways, neither of us gaining anything—oh wait, I still stand to gain, so you must give me the reward you promised."

This sentence precisely struck the system's soft spot.

Just as the phantom of Myriad Medicines Divine Lord's alchemy furnace was about to be completely shattered, Youquan's extinction source spikes had already reached his brow.

A line of cold, fluorescent blue tiny characters finally appeared unwillingly before Gu Yuan's eyes.

【Ding! Host detected facing an irresistible threat and showing self-destruct tendency. Initiating emergency evasion plan……】

【Warning: Forcibly moving an entire world consumes a massive amount of primordial origin, and the host's permissions are insufficient; this system can only perform a short-distance spatial jump, with the enemy immortal king expected to relock onto the coordinates and pursue after three incense sticks.】

"Three incense sticks?" Gu Yuan snapped his fingers, "That's enough."

【Emergency evasion, activate.】

As those six words faded in the sea of consciousness, an incomprehensible might descended without any omen.

This power had no color, no sound, not even the most basic law wave existed.

In midair, the black-robed immortal king about to deliver a fatal blow had his motion freeze instantly.

It wasn't being trapped by a formation, nor halted by temporal law.

Rather, the very spatial coordinates where he stood were directly taken from this universe.

His arrogance and killing intent hadn't even had time to fade as he hung there, ludicrously suspended in midair—not even a wisp of mist could drift.

"This…"

Myriad Medicines Divine Lord held up his battered alchemy furnace, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

He rubbed his eyes hard, making sure he wasn't seeing things.

"A proper immortal king, and a high-level one who commands extinction source power, just… immobilized like that?"

"Even if our own supreme peak ancestor acted, it couldn't be done so effortlessly, leaving no trace!"

Before Myriad Medicines Divine Lord could recover from the immense shock, the heavens and earth of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty underwent a drastic change.

There was no earth-shaking, no panic of an apocalypse.

The countless beings of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty only felt a flash of extremely soft white light before their eyes.

Next, the sun in the sky vanished.

In its place appeared a variegated, bizarre star-realm turbulence.

The entire Great Yin Divine Dynasty, together with its world barrier and attached void dimension, was uprooted by an incomprehensible force.

Like a glass marble tossed into a rushing river, it underwent a seemingly crazy spatial leap in the endless void star sea.

Myriad Medicines Divine Lord swallowed saliva, stiffly turned his head, and looked at Gu Yuan standing with his hands behind his back.

"Young… young master, this is also…"

"Just a little self-defense trick—not worth mentioning."

Gu Yuan offhandedly gave that reply, his gaze sweeping over the countdown rapidly ticking down on the system panel.

Myriad Medicines Divine Lord sucked in a cold breath, his gaze toward Gu Yuan completely changed.

"What do you call a little trick?"

"Packing up an entire world like a toy and strolling off, while leaving an immortal king stranded to blow cold wind—is that a little trick?"

The faint pride Myriad Medicines Divine Lord felt from recovering eighty percent of his supreme peak strength was crushed to dust at this moment, not a speck left.

He secretly swore that even if beaten to death, he would never leave the Gu family's super colossal vessel by even half a step.

"Serving as the young master's dog—that's the noblest dog in all myriad worlds!"

The speed of the world's leap was extremely fast, the surrounding star-realm turbulence turning into dazzling light bands that continually streamed backward.

Gu Yuan looked at the panel.

【Enemy immortal king breaking free and retracing coordinates remaining time: two incense sticks and a half.】

Time really isn't much.

The Deep Spring's strength is not to be underestimated; since the system said it could only shift a certain distance, once it lets him re-lock onto a position, the Great Yin Divine Dynasty's lowly world simply cannot bear a second devastation at the Immortal King level.

However, at this point there's more than enough time to run away ten times over!

Gu Yuan turned around and patted Myriad Medicine Divine Lord on the shoulder.

"Old Wan, your stitched-together flesh body still needs more training; at a critical moment you can't afford to mess up."

Myriad Medicine Divine Lord's old face flushed red, and he lowered his head in shame.

"Old slave's skills are inadequate, frightening the young master; upon returning, old slave will definitely shut himself away in seclusion, and will not leave until this flesh body is perfectly refined through complete sacrificial refinement."

"Alright, don't indulge in self-pity here."

Gu Yuan waved his hand,

"I still have some private matters to attend to; you stay here and hold down the fort, the Great Yin Divine Dynasty's current mess—help that Eldest Prince tidy up a bit; remember, don't cause too big a commotion, just keep things as they are."

Myriad Medicine Divine Lord froze, a terrible premonition welling up in his heart.

"Young Master, where are you going?"

"I'll go and be back shortly."

Gu Yuan adjusted the collar of his purple-gold official robe, his tone relaxed as if saying he was just going for a stroll in the rear garden.

"Don't, Young Master!"

Myriad Medicine Divine Lord panicked, grabbing Gu Yuan's thigh in both hands; as an Immortal King, he now had no image to speak of.

"I can feel that this place isn't far from the previous coordinates; you're leaving old slave alone here—how can this half-ruined body hold up? Young Master, take old slave with you; old slave will serve you tea and water."

Gu Yuan jerked his leg back disdainfully and soothed: "What's there to be timid about? When have I ever let my subordinates die in my undertakings?"

Gu Yuan lifted his head, gazing toward a certain direction in the depths of the void.

In those deep eyes, a flicker of extremely cold calculation passed.

"He likes to chase, doesn't he? I'll go find him some fun right now, and… borrow something along the way."

Before his words faded, Gu Yuan's figure vanished into thin air amidst a faint spatial ripple.

Only Myriad Medicine Divine Lord remained, standing alone atop the ruins of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty's imperial palace, disheveled in the wind.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Myriad Medicine Divine Lord looked at the empty void, wanting to cry but having no tears, then glanced at the nearby Eldest Prince and Virtuous Noble Consort, who had just awakened and looked utterly bewildered.

"What sin… I barely managed to revive, and now I might have to meet my end here again?"
