Chapter 443: The Ability of the Shadow Pupil

At this moment, in the Earth Path.

A group of people followed closely behind a beautiful young girl. All around them, zombies were suddenly crawling out from the soil, rushing toward the crowd with bared fangs and brandished claws.

However, beneath the girl's feet was a patch of darkness, black as ink, as if it were a bottomless abyss; once one fell in, they would enter an unknown world.

Although the swarm of zombies rushing over was vast in number, they did not harm a single person; they all fell into the dark world without making a sound.

The group behind her, whether they were Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators or Gu Kings, all wore extremely grave expressions upon seeing this scene.

"What a terrifying ability. It was clearly a situation where everyone was certain to die, yet I never expected this group of zombies to be solved so easily by this girl's Pupil Gu. What kind of Gu worm is this, that its ability could be so heaven-defying?"

Shui Wuqing watched the massive army of corpses disappear in waves, deeply moved as he spoke.

Zhuge Yuan, being the most knowledgeable, finally saw the black eye at the center of the girl's brow and immediately revealed an extremely grave expression, saying solemnly:

"If I am not mistaken, this is the Shadow Pupil, which has been extinct for countless tens of thousands of years. The Shadow Pupil is born carrying a terrifying illusion technique called the Shadow Realm. Among all the illusion techniques in the world, the Shadow Realm is enough to rank in the top ten."

"The Shadow Realm can replicate the dark side of this world at an equal scale. You can understand the dark side of the world as the symmetrical world to the bright side; the bright side is bathed in sunlight, while the dark side is symmetrical and downward, shrouded in darkness all day long."

"The dark side is neither truly virtual nor truly real; it perfectly replicates the reality of the world at a one-to-one ratio. Every terrain and object is exactly the same as in the real world."

"For a fully mastered Pupil Gu, as large as the real world is, so too is the replicated dark side. Furthermore, it can pull people within the range of the dark side into it. Once those who enter the dark side cannot escape in time, they will be eroded by the darkness and slowly transformed into phantoms."

"Those transformed into phantoms are also known by the ancients as Shadow Demons. Shadow Demons can ignore any attack and are controlled by the Shadow Pupil."

"These zombies were all pulled by the Shadow Pupil into the dark side of this world. Everyone, you must never step on her shadow, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you will fall into the dark side of this world."

After Zhuge Yuan's explanation, everyone revealed deep wariness, and some looked at the girl with fear.

The powerful ability to create a world out of thin air was simply inconceivable; everyone was terrified.

It was unknown how large the dark side of the world this girl had currently replicated was. If the area were as large as an empire, couldn't she pull the people of an entire empire into the dark side of the world and slaughter a nation with a single thought? Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.

"I never thought the Zhu Clan would actually succeed in refining this kind of Gu worm. Rumor has it that every time the Shadow Pupil is refined, it requires the consumption of seventy million materials. Is there really someone today who can refine such a money-burning Gu worm? It's truly incredible!"

Shui Wuqing looked at the girl in shock, his mood at this moment far from calm. The Shui Clan and the Zhu Clan were blood enemies; naturally, he did not wish for the Zhu Clan to produce such a monstrous genius.

Zhuge Yuan shook the fan in his hand and sighed: "We should thank her, and be glad that she is among those who entered the Earth Path, otherwise all of us would die here today."

"Now that the corpse army has been cleared by her, there will hardly be any more danger in this first pass. Everyone, don't follow behind her anymore; it is better to disperse when it comes to treasure hunting."

As his voice fell, the crowd finally came to their senses. Knowing that the danger of the first pass had been cleared, they each revealed expressions of wild joy and immediately scattered, disappearing in the blink of an eye...

At this time, in the Gold Path.

Long Xuan looked back at his rear and frowned deeply.

After the Gravity Mountain was taken away, this world no longer had powerful gravity. Those Gu Kings, unaffected by gravity, could all fly in the air, their speed extremely fast.

At this moment, more than ten Gu Kings were flying toward this side, their target clear; they were obviously heading straight for him.

He couldn't help but be curious: how exactly did this group of Gu Kings find him? Did they know the Gravity Mountain was on him? Perhaps only the temptation of the Gravity Mountain would make them pursue him relentlessly.

Utilizing the magnifying ability of the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, he saw that the route from the Gravity Mountain to himself had left marks. Long Xuan glanced at Shui Juanyun beside him from the corner of his eye, and understood in his heart.

"A group of Gu Kings is chasing us. What should we do? Even if these Gu Kings have dropped in realm, they are definitely not people we can contend with. What is to be done?"

Shui Juanyun appeared panicked at this moment, as if he had completely lost his composure upon seeing the group of Gu Kings chasing them.

Long Xuan sneered inwardly. He suddenly stopped his footsteps and said: "Whichever direction I go, this group of Gu Kings follows. They clearly have a way to track me."

"Since they can precisely know my location, it's useless no matter where we run. We might as well meet the soldiers with shields and the water with earth; let's just solve them all! Killing them all is the best way."

Seeing Long Xuan stop, Shui Juanyun was startled. To wipe out more than ten Gu Kings together—was he that fierce?

A Gu King who had dropped in realm could be said to be invincible among the Spirit Sea peak. He might have a chance to win against one, but it was absolutely impossible to win against more than ten. Stopping at this time was simply courting death.

But seeing that he had already stopped, Shui Juanyun gritted his teeth and could only stop as well.

He wanted to see what method Long Xuan had to break the situation.

The two stopped together. With the speed of the Gu Kings, in the blink of an eye, the two were caught up by the group.

The group of Gu Kings descended from the sky. As soon as they landed, the lead Gu King said extremely arrogantly: "I don't want to hear any nonsense. Who among you two has the Gravity Mountain? Hand it over and you can both live!"

Shui Juanyun's expression changed, revealing a fearful look. He turned his head to look at Long Xuan and said: "Why don't you just hand over the Gravity Mountain? We can't possibly beat more than ten Gu Kings. No matter how good the treasure is, it's not as important as our lives."

Although he spoke words of concern, this sentence exposed the fact that the Gravity Mountain was on Long Xuan.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, all the Gu Kings immediately turned their gazes toward Long Xuan, their eyes becoming dangerous.

Long Xuan sneered inwardly. He glanced at him indifferently and pretended to be surprised, asking suspiciously:

"What are you talking about? The Gravity Mountain is so big, how could I move it? The Gravity Mountain is clearly on you."

"Everyone knows that your Shui Clan Gu cultivators have the 'Ocean Accepts All Rivers' ability and can fit a large mountain into your Spirit Sea."

"In this world, besides your Shui Clan Gu cultivators, who else could move a large mountain?"

"Even if I said the Gravity Mountain was on me, do you think this group of Gu Kings would believe it?"

Hearing this, the group of Gu Kings felt it made sense. They turned their gazes back to Shui Juanyun, and the lead Gu King said in a rage:

"You damn bastard, you're really treating us like fools! Only your Shui Clan Gu cultivators have the ability to move a large mountain. You're still trying to frame others at this time; do you think we'll believe you?"

"Hurry up and hand over the Gravity Mountain! I'll only give you one chance!"

Shui Juanyun was stunned on the spot. At this moment, he already had a feeling that something was wrong. Although he didn't understand why Long Xuan would say this, he still hurriedly explained:

"Everyone, you don't know this, but he has a toad-type Gu worm on him that can swallow a large mountain. Just now, the Gravity Mountain was swallowed by that toad."

"The Gravity Mountain is indeed on him, I swear to heaven!"

As he spoke, Shui Juanyun raised three fingers and swore solemnly.

However, facing his oath, the group of Gu Kings looked at him with a half-smile, their hands crossed over their chests, watching him like a clown, not believing a word he said.

Shui Juanyun was startled and looked back suspiciously. He saw that Long Xuan had a large Honesty Gu in his hand, staring at him with wide eyes, revealing an angry gaze, its eyes flashing with light.

To outsiders, this was the reaction only seen when the Honesty Gu heard a lie. At this moment, he finally understood why the group of Gu Kings didn't believe what he said.

Everyone trusted the Honesty Gu implicitly. Since the Honesty Gu was glowing, it was enough to prove that everything he just said was a lie, and enough to prove that the Gravity Mountain was on him.

The matter was now settled.

"Holy shit!"

Seeing this extremely familiar Honesty Gu, he shouted a loud "holy shit" in his heart. He suddenly had an urge to vomit blood, and his entire face turned black.

This is an Honesty Gu that glows whenever it hears the truth; it is so treacherous it would kill without a second thought. He has not only seen it before, but has already been tricked by this damned Honesty Gu three times.

Fine, now the whole world knew that he, Shui Juanyun, had the Repairing Worm, Earth Spirit Fruit, Gravity Mountain...

Now, another huge black pot was placed on his head. He was almost driven mad, and he looked at Long Xuan with an incomparably ferocious expression.

Before he could be angry, the group of Gu Kings had already begun to get angry. The lead Gu King sneered: "Keep making it up! Keep making it up for me!"

"Everyone knows that only the Qian Clan's Three-Legged Golden Toad has the ability to swallow a mountain. Besides the Three-Legged Golden Toad, there is no toad-type Gu worm in this world with the heaven-defying ability to swallow a mountain. Is that toad-type Gu worm something you fabricated?"

"Even if you're making up a story, make up a reliable one! Do you think I'm ignorant, or are you treating me like a three-year-old child!"

The lead Gu King's expression turned ferocious, and he said in a rage: "You really are a thing that doesn't know life from death. I gave you a chance and you didn't know how to cherish it. Since you are stubborn, then I'll just take it from your corpse!"

At this moment, the lead Gu King finally lost his patience. As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked Shui Juanyun. The other Gu Kings also swarmed up. Under the siege of the Gu Kings, Shui Juanyun immediately fell into a precarious situation!

"Long Xuan! I fuck your ancestors!"

"You won't die a good death!"

In the crowd, Shui Juanyun's crazed roar could be heard. A pair of venomous eyes stared at Long Xuan, who was watching the show outside the crowd, his resentment soaring to the sky.

Only Long Xuan had an abnormal Honesty Gu in his hand. Once this dishonest Honesty Gu appeared, how could he not see that Long Xuan was Long Xuan?

He was almost about to explode with anger at this moment, wishing he could slap himself. Being scammed three times in a row by the same method, how could he not break his defense...

Watching Shui Juanyun, who was being crazily besieged by more than ten Gu Kings and was already beaten to a miserable state, Long Xuan shook his head helplessly, unable to bear watching any longer.

"How pitiful! You say, why couldn't you take anything else? Why did you have to take the Gravity Mountain? Is that something you can touch? Now you're unlucky, aren't you?"

Long Xuan shook his head and finally left with the most ruthless Gu worm... (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 444 =====
