Chapter 520: Gu Cangsheng, the Unreasonable

In an instant, Gu Zhan had already rushed to the Void Worm's front.

Compared with that immensely massive body, Gu Zhan's figure was as tiny as dust.

The Void Worm seemed to sense the provocation, its gigantic maw—large enough to swallow a star—suddenly gaped open, and a torrent of destructive void energy surged toward Gu Zhan.

"Well timed!"

Gu Zhan did not retreat but advanced, thrusting both fists forward.

Boom!

He was instantly engulfed by that energy torrent.

"Gu Zhan!"

From afar, Gu Xue Dao and the others saw the scene and felt a tightening in their hearts.

However, the next moment.

Within that torrent of energy, a burst of golden light suddenly detonated.

Gu Zhan's figure reappeared. He was scorched black all over, blood staining the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes shone terrifyingly bright.

"Awesome!"

He let out a roar and leapt straight into the Void Worm's mouth.

"You madman!" the nine‑leaf swordgrass couldn't help but shout.

But it did not idle; a blade of silent extinction sword qi, so fine it was almost undetectable, shot from one of its remaining leaves, silently piercing the Void Worm's lower jaw.

That spot was the weakest part of its entire carapace.

The Void Worm, which had been chewing furiously, suddenly stiffened.

In that instant.

Boom!

A deep, muffled roar echoed from its abdomen.

Immediately after, its body began to swell violently, golden fissures surfacing across its skin.

"Barbarian God Shaking Heaven Fist!"

Accompanied by an earth‑shaking roar, the Void Worm's massive body exploded with a thunderous blast!

A golden figure burst out from it.

It was Gu Zhan.

In his hand he still clutched a human‑head‑sized, pulsating black heart that seemed formed from pure void law.

A half‑step Immortal King‑level Void Origin!

Gu Zhan grinned, opening his mouth to swallow it.

At that moment.

An indescribable terrifying pressure descended from the heavens.

The entire Huntian jie, all void creatures, trembled and crawled on the ground under that pressure.

A massive pale hand, formed from law, tore the void and reached straight for the Void Origin in Gu Zhan's hand.

"Put it down."

A cold, haughty voice rang in everyone's mindsea.

Immortal King!

Gu Zhan's complexion changed; without a second thought, he shoved the Origin straight into his mouth.

"Seeking death!"

The voice's owner seemed enraged; the pale hand accelerated, and a destructive vortex swirled in its palm.

It looked as if Gu Zhan was about to be crushed together with the surrounding space by that massive hand.

A lazy voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey, you big brute, bullying a Gu Family kid, aren't you being a bit uncouth?"

Before the words finished.

An old man in straw sandals, hands tucked away, appeared silently before Gu Zhan.

He extended a finger and lightly tapped the sky‑covering pale hand.

That hand, capable of crushing a half‑step Immortal King with ease, fragmented inch by inch in midair.

In the void, a figure clad in silver battle armor, with a stern face, staggered out of a spatial fissure; he stared at the old man below, eyes filled with shock.

He was a genuine Immortal King, passing by, sensed the half‑step Immortal King‑level Origin aura, and thought to casually take it.

To him, dealing with a group of true immortals was merely a matter of reaching into a bag.

He never expected that this god‑forsaken ruined world still harbored such a terrifying being.

He could not fathom the opponent's cultivation.

There was only one possibility.

The other's realm was far above his own!

Great‑head Immortal King!

"Senior... senior..."

The silver‑armored Immortal King's voice trembled, "I mean no offense, I'll just... leave now."

"Leave?"

Gu Cangsheng cracked open a melon seed and casually spat out the shell.

"You came all the way here, and you want to leave without leaving anything?"

"The Gu Family's rules aren't that cheap."

Silver Armor Immortal King's body stiffened, and fine cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Gu Family?

He rapidly searched his mind for all top powers surnamed Gu.

Could it be some ancient hidden clan that never shows itself?

"Senior, you're joking; I am the sect master of the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect, and I have no dealings with your clan. Today's matter is purely a misunderstanding. To express my apology, I am willing to present three thousand cubic feet of immortal divine gold, only asking that you show mercy."

The Silver Armor Immortal King hurriedly reported his household, and at the same time offered a price that would drive any True Immortal mad.

He hoped the other party would consider his status as an Immortal King and give him face.

"Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect?" Gu Cangsheng stroked his chin, making an effort to recall, "I've never heard of it."

The Silver Armor Immortal King's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

Even the name of the Heavenly Martial Immortal Sect couldn't deter him; the other party's background was likely greater than he imagined.

"Senior, I..."

He still wanted to say something, but Gu Cangsheng impatiently cut him off.

"Alright, stop the nonsense."

Gu Cangsheng picked his ear, "I'm not interested in your rotten copper and scrap iron."

His gaze fell upon the Silver Armor Immortal King, like a butcher sizing up a fat pig ready for slaughter.

"I see your physique is fairly solid, and your Dao Fruit is quite plump—just right for my grandson's breakthrough; he needs a catalyst."

"It's you."

The moment his words fell.

The Silver Armor Immortal King felt an indescribable terrifying sense of crisis enveloping him completely.

Without thinking, he directly burned his Immortal King origin, his form turning into a silver streak of light, fleeing wildly in the direction opposite Gu Cangsheng.

He knew he had encountered an unreasonable madman today.

Begging for mercy was useless; he could only fight desperately!

"You want to run?"

Gu Cangsheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He didn't even move; he simply raised the hand hidden in his sleeve and gently clenched it toward the direction the Silver Armor Immortal King was fleeing.

"Chaos Prison."

Hum—

The Silver Armor Immortal King, who was madly shuttling through space, suddenly stalled.

He horrifiedly discovered that the space around him had, at some point, turned a murky gray.

Here, time and space lost all meaning.

No matter how he burned his origin or activated the laws, he couldn't move an inch.

He was like an insect trapped in amber, firmly imprisoned in place.

The next moment, a similarly murky large hand reached out from the void, gripping his neck without a trace of mortal energy.

"No..."

In the Silver Armor Immortal King's eyes, despair finally appeared.

His Immortal King Dao Fruit inside him was as fragile as glass before that hand.

Crack.

A soft sound.

His Dao Fruit, together with his divine soul, was crushed into pieces.

Before death, his final thought was:

Doesn't he know the Immortal King's non-engagement rule? How could there be such an unreasonable giant in this world?
