265. Chapter 265: Divination

Long Xuan sat down before her stall and smiled, saying, "Then divine for me how long I will live; whether I will be killed by someone or achieve immortality."

Wu Yaoyao shook her head immediately and said, "I cannot divine it; with your level of shamelessness, you certainly won't die anytime soon."

"What if you don't die for ten thousand years? I definitely cannot foresee events over such a long period, so the result of the divination would certainly be inaccurate."

"Moreover, if you choose to divine selectively, I can only use other divination methods; if I use the Gu of Divination, I can only intercept a certain fragment of your possible future, leaving no room for your selection."

"Since I have already paid you, you must use the Gu of Divination!"

"Very well! Then proceed with the divination; what do I need to do?" Long Xuan asked.

"You need not do anything; divination with the Gu of Divination requires only your consent."

Speaking thus, Wu Yaoyao closed her large eyes, and her consciousness entered a dark world.

Soon, her eyes lit up as an image appeared in her vision; it was as if she had directly traveled into this world, where the scene before her was no different from the real world.

In this world, blood rain fell from the sky; every raindrop was blood-red, and the crimson rain was extremely corrosive, turning anyone it touched on the skin into blood water, while the entire world echoed with painful screams, truly a living hell on earth.

The corpses lying on the ground were already too numerous to count, with blood mixing with the crimson rain until the ground was a vast expanse of fresh red.

At the very center of the blood rain, several hundred Gu Kings were besieging a man clad in a blood-red robe; this man manipulated a vast Blood River that swam through the sky like a giant red python.

Not a single Gu King submerged by the Blood River ever successfully emerged; it was as if they had vanished completely.

From time to time, the man would extract blood from a Gu King across empty space, sucking them dry until they collapsed as desiccated corpses.

From time to time, attacks struck the man, yet he could always transform into a swarm of blood-red bats to evade all harm, whereupon one of the bats would revert to human form, let out a sinister laugh, and charge back into the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, dozens more Gu Kings died miserably at his hands; the scene seemed not as though he was being besieged by hundreds of Gu Kings, but rather as though he was slaughtering those hundreds of Gu Kings.

This continued until a man controlling sky-filling Thunder appeared, using lightning to shatter wave after wave of bats, finally halting his unrestrained slaughter...

"This... this..."

Wu Yaoyao instantly opened her eyes, startled into standing up immediately, gasping heavily with fear in her gaze, as if she had just woken from a nightmare.

"What exactly have you done! How could you provoke such a terrifying existence!" Wu Yaoyao pointed at Long Xuan's nose, shouting in great alarm.

Long Xuan was bewildered; what did it mean that he had provoked such a terrifying existence? Did he look like the type who enjoyed offending people? What exactly had she foreseen to make her so terrified?

Di Xin showed an expression of interest, glancing at him; could it be that this King of Lying Low really provoked some Heaven-defying existence in the future? Could he have died?

"What did you foresee?" Di Xin asked impatiently.

Wu Yaoyao immediately looked at Long Xuan and said with a trembling voice, "Your future actually involves fighting someone who cultivates a Forbidden Gu!"

"That person cultivated the Blood Demon Gu, which ranks eighth among the Ten Great Forbidden Gu; countless Gu Kings have died at this person's hands, and in the end, you actually charged forward controlling Thunder..."

Hearing this, Di Xin was instantly shocked, looking at him in disbelief before teasing, "Good heavens, I didn't expect your future to be so death-seeking; I really didn't see that coming."

Long Xuan said with an unnatural expression, "How is that possible? I am as steady as an old dog, never making enemies with anyone; how could I possibly provoke such a terrifying existence? That is not my character!"

"You must have divined incorrectly; that person is definitely not me. Didn't you say nine out of ten divinations are wrong? This time, without a doubt, it must be an erroneous divination."

"How did the scene you saw end?"

Although Long Xuan spoke these words, he still asked with worry in his heart.

"The image cut off right after you charged forward wielding Thunder, so I do not know the outcome of that battle."

"However, if the result of this divination is true, then you are definitely dead."

"Do you know just how terrifying the Blood Demon Gu, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Forbidden Gu, truly is?"

"The Blood Demon Gu can manipulate human blood; it can cause the blood within your body to flow backward across empty space, or accelerate your internal blood flow a hundredfold, causing your heart to explode directly."

"Those besieging him were killed by such means before they could even approach him; even those who could barely suppress the blood turmoil within their bodies would lose more than half their strength, so under this move, it mattered not how many people besieged him."

"Furthermore, the possessor of the Blood Demon Gu can refine all their blood into Essence Blood and purify their Bloodline to the Heaven Grade of Legend, causing their bloodline to revert to its ancestors and granting them the Aptitude of a god; the combat power of such a person is invincible."

"Moreover, the possessor of the Blood Demon Gu is immune to any attack; they can transform into a swarm of bats at any time to evade all damage, and then be reborn through any single bat."

"Even if you could kill all their bats, it would be useless, for the Blood Demon Gu also grants the ability of Blood Rebirth."

"The possessor of the Blood Demon Gu can divide their blood into countless drops, store them in different bottles, and scatter these bottles across the world."

"Once they are killed, they can be reborn from any single drop of blood without any loss of strength and without any side effects."

"Such a person is simply unkillable; where exactly did your mind break that you dared to attack him?"

"I have mentioned only a small portion of the Blood Demon Gu's abilities; the rest are even more exaggerated. Now do you think you can defeat him? You are absolutely dead in that battle!"

"That person is unbeatable!"

Wu Yaoyao's tone was filled with terror; she had not expected such a terrifying figure to appear in the future, for those who cultivate Forbidden Gu bring about the end of the world, affecting a vast scope, and in the future, this might very well affect her too.

It was true that her divination could be mistaken, but any deviation would only be in the direction of events; it was impossible to fabricate a person out of thin air.

The person in the divination would definitely appear, and once that person appeared, the number of deaths would be like a sea of people and a mountain of corpses...

Long Xuan was frightened, exclaiming in shock, "The abilities of this Blood Demon Gu are so exaggerated? Being immune to all attacks is one thing, but being able to be reborn everywhere without cost—who could possibly defeat that? Are we playing games here!"

At this moment, Long Xuan felt his scalp go numb, completely unable to remain calm; could it be that in the future he would face such a terrifying opponent? Would he not die a most miserable death!

Hearing the several abilities of the Blood Demon Gu that Wu Yaoyao described, he felt absolutely no chance of defeating that person.

Was that really a human? Before one could even charge forward, the blood throughout one's body would turmoil and explode; how could one fight then? Only someone with a sick brain would charge forward.

Therefore, that divination must be false; it must be false...

"Enough! This divination is definitely false; let us proceed to the next divination!" Long Xuan hurriedly urged.

"Let us hope so!" Wu Yaoyao took a deep breath, looked at him deeply, sat back down at her stall, and slowly closed her eyes, her vision once again entering darkness.

It was unknown how much time passed; just as she was growing impatient, a patch of bright light finally appeared before her eyes, so dazzlingly bright that it caused her discomfort, making her frown slightly.

After adapting to the light, she once again saw a scene, as if descending into that world.

At this moment, two men were engaged in combat; one of them, unsurprisingly, was Long Xuan, after all, the subject of the divination was him, so how could the divination not contain his figure.

The one fighting against him was a burly man with bulging muscles; under his control, the ground shook violently, emitting deafening sounds.

Soon, mountains and rivers collapsed, and the earth cracked; long fissures appeared one after another on the ground, expanding at an astonishing speed, while stones, giant trees, houses, and humans on the surface fell crazily into the fissures, plummeting into an endless abyss.

This person can actually create earthquakes! Wu Yaoyao was startled in her heart, suddenly feeling a bad premonition; could it be...

Just as her gaze was vacant and she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a surge of heat ahead; a crack erupted, spewing massive amounts of lava that gushed extensively from the ground, covering the entire surface.

In the blink of an eye, this place had actually become a Magma World, a sea of red where heat boiled and the temperature was astonishingly high.

And that person manipulated the sky-filling lava, attacking someone in the heavens above.

Countless thick pillars of lava flew out from the molten rock, shooting toward every part of the sky; the dense barrage left no gap in the heavens to dodge.

This battle between the two raged until the sky turned dark and the earth dim, the sun and moon lost their light, mountains and rivers shattered under their attacks, and nearby Gu Cultivators and all living beings were inevitably killed by the terrifying aftermath of their clash; the earth was riddled with holes, spiritual power in the air was in chaos, presenting truly an apocalyptic scene.

The intense light generated by the battle between the two made it impossible for her to open her eyes.

"This is..."

Finally, she was blasted out by an earth-shattering explosion; in reality, she suddenly opened her eyes, gasping heavily, her back soaked through with sweat, her eyes filled with extreme terror.

"You... you..."

Wu Yaoyao jumped up in shock once again, pointing at Long Xuan's nose and crying out in alarm, "Are you poisoned?! How did you run into another heaven-defying figure who refines Forbidden Gu?"

"That person refined the Earth Demon Gu, ranked third among the Ten Great Forbidden Gu; why did you idly provoke him? Have you picked a fight with those who refine Forbidden Gu?!"

Long Xuan looked completely bewildered; he had actually encountered another ruthless character who refines Forbidden Gu. How could someone as steady as he always run into such figures? Could it be that the divination was wrong again?

Only a fool would provoke that guy who refines the Earth Demon Gu; he was not sick. The version of himself in the divination was absolutely not his true personality; Wu Yaoyao's divination was utterly unreliable and must not be trusted.

"Then what was the result?"

Although Long Xuan thought this in his heart, he could not help but ask.

Di Xin looked at him with a strange expression and interjected, "Does that even need asking? You definitely died miserably; you probably don't know just how exaggerated the Earth Demon Gu is."

"The Earth Demon Gu can trigger various natural disasters, amplifying their power a hundredfold, and can also manipulate the entire power of the earth for its own use, possessing endless strength."

"A wielder of the Earth Demon Gu standing on the ground could fight non-stop for a hundred years without feeling fatigue; in a war of attrition, no one can outlast him."

"Most terrifying of all, the defense of an Earth Demon Gu wielder is invincible; every attack landing on him is borne by the earth itself. Unless someone possesses the power to destroy the earth, an Earth Demon Gu wielder will not even lose a single hair."

"And that's not all; those who possess the Earth Demon Gu are said to be immortal and indestructible wherever there is earth, because the Earth Demon Gu can absorb the power of the earth to instantly heal any injury."

"As long as there is earth, such a person cannot be killed no matter what!"

"Given these abilities, do you think you could survive?"

"Don't even think about it; the value of a person lies in knowing one's limits. Someone who refines the Earth Demon Gu is unbeatable; even if several hundred Gu Kings came, they wouldn't be enough for him to slaughter. You are dead for sure!" (End of Chapter)
