Barrier of Light

Bottom of the River Styx.

The "giant face" hanging upside down slowly dipped into the water of the Black River, and a strange smile overflowed from the traveler's vertical pupils... At this moment, the two people who were looking directly at each other shuddered in their hearts and felt a powerful force. The spiritual power shrouded down.

This is simply not a force that ordinary people can resist.

"I...can't move..."

Mu Wanqiu looked pale and spoke with great difficulty.

In fact, when the traveler looked at her, her right to speak was gradually deprived of her.

The water of the Heihe River within a ten-mile radius was frozen.

Her thoughts began to freeze.

But Gu Shen's condition is better. After three transcendences, his mental power can still maintain the most basic operation... at least he can analyze the situation in front of him.

The traveler has broken through the portal of the [Old World].

This was no longer a "difficulty" that he and Mu Wanqiu could solve. Even if Osmond and the hundred extraordinary people who restarted the mission were added... it would not make any sense.

Only God can fight against God.

But why...the Queen hasn't arrived yet?

Before his thoughts were completely frozen, Gu Shen squeezed out a ray of energy and entered the ruler of truth.

The flow of time becomes slower.

…

…

In the mottled space of light and shadow, the reflection of the towering hanging tree seemed to become more real, casting more shadows in the dark world. The devil was still hidden in the mist, unwilling to meet Gu Shen.

"Deal, I want a deal!"

This was the first time that Gu Shen took such initiative. He came to this place through a trance and got straight to the point!

Conversion based on time flow rate ten to one.

He may only have a few tens of seconds... No one knows when the "traveler" outside will take action and use the power of that big guy to smash himself to pieces. It will only take a moment!

"Ah……"

In the black mist, a joking chuckle sounded.

“Now you know there’s going to be a deal?”

The devil slowly leaned forward, its outline standing out from the mist.

Gu Shen squinted his eyes slightly. Although the situation was very anxious at the moment, he still noticed some changes in details. The devil's throne seemed to have moved... It didn't seem to be here when he last saw it.

It's just that the spiritual space of the Ruler of Truth is a mottled reflection of large areas, without any reference.

And moving the throne is not a big deal.

This discovery was put aside by Gu Shen.

"You are more powerful than I thought. You can break through the unprecedented 'Three Transcendences' and kill the blessed son across great realms." The devil tapped the bench and smiled leisurely: "Gu Shen, you are indeed a genius. Continue Across the border.”

Gu Shen had already been mentally prepared.

This guy in the Rule of Truth was rejected by me over and over again.

This time he asked for a deal, so he had to be teased... As for the time countdown that kept passing in the real world, it was obvious that this time it was the devil's turn not to care.

"As you wish..." Gu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Now that I have taken the initiative to beg you to trade, just tell me whether to trade or not to trade."

The devil warned himself before.

Deep in the River Styx, there is a being that is countless times more terrifying than Meng Xiao!

It can be seen from this that it has always known that on the other side of the Styx [Portal] is the eighth divine seat - "The Traveler"!

"..."

The devil was silent for a moment, then regained his composure and asked, "What price are you willing to pay?"

"call……"

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said, "I can give you control of this body, but I will only give you ten minutes..."

The devil seemed to have heard a big joke.

"What can you do in ten minutes?"

"You don't want to beat him to death, do you think of me as Gu Changzhi in his heyday?!"

It patted the bench hard, then stretched out its long fingers, pointed at the "traveler"'s eyebrows through the spiritual black mist of the ruler of truth, and sneered: "Did you see it? That is a genuine fragment of the gospel box. '! Although this fragment was left in the old world when it was separated from the gospel box six hundred years ago, and it did not have time to undergo the baptism of the ordered source of matter, so it cannot be regarded as a mature 'tinder'... but this guy is still smelting. With the power of fire, even a random punch can directly knock down a thousand-meter mountain."

It sighed and shook its head: "If you only give me ten minutes, the only thing I can do is to dig a beautiful and exquisite coffin for you under the River Styx before he kills me!"

Gu Shen was silent.

"Then what do you want?"

He suddenly felt that this transaction seemed not as simple as he imagined.

The devil looked directly at him, and there seemed to be a smile on his face in the black mist.

In the stalemate, the spiritual space of the Ruler of Truth was silent, and the time in the real world passed by just like this little by little.

"Haven't you seen it yet?"

The devil is sitting on the throne, his voice is very soft and full of emotion, like a hunter who has finally waited for the opportunity to kill, looking at the prey that has fallen into the trap: "I... don't want anything."

Gu Shen was stunned.

Do not need anything?

This sentence has two meanings. The first level is that the devil pays for nothing and provides free help.

At this moment, it is obviously the second type...

It refuses to trade.

"Ten minutes, a hundred minutes... it makes no difference to me." The devil said calmly: "You are not a qualified host. I want to see... you die in the River Styx, die here."

There was a loud bang in Gu Shen's mind, and he was enlightened.

"From the moment of the black silver seal, we actually have no chance to negotiate." The black shadow of the throne said faintly: "People like you will never make a deal with the devil, right? But there is Others are willing, and there are plenty of others in the world.”

Others... Gu Shen knew that beside him, there was a candidate who fit the devil's wishes.

She is also S-level and equally talented. Mu Wanqiu could not resist the temptation of the Dream of the Styx before... Her mental power is indeed strong, but if she really comes into contact with the Rule of Truth, she will most likely be tempted by the devil. Fallen.

"I see."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "So, no matter what conditions I put forward, you will refuse."

From the very beginning, he had stepped into a trap of gathering.

None of the deals the devil throws out matter.

What he values ​​​​is not the "small favors" he gives out...

He wants to overturn the chessboard.

Find the next host again!

As long as you come to the River Styx, step into the portal, and touch the statue, you will definitely reach this point. At that time, as long as you have the idea of ​​"deal" in your heart and are eager to reach an agreement at the critical moment, you will fall into death. the abyss.

"good."

The devil's face was expressionless. He had no emotions such as pity, kindness, sympathy, and no other mental fluctuations at this moment, but there was a calmness in his voice that firmly controlled the situation: "I refuse this transaction, you can Enjoy the last 'countdown' of life in the Rule of Truth, but everything will come to an end, and you will be like that stupid 'Pluto'... split into countless broken elements floating in the void, leaving only helplessness. I will keep the dismantled spiritual legacy for you. After today, everything you have is everything to me."

The last sentence is very informative.

But Gu Shen had no time to care.

He stood in the light and shadow of the Ruler of Truth, silently looking at the arrogant black figure sitting on the throne.

"After today there will be no negotiations between us."

Gu Shen spoke calmly.

The devil just smiled and looked at the young man in front of him with the same eyes he looks at the dead.

"I will expel you from the ruler at any cost. I will imprison you in the eternal darkness and make you suffer the pain of hell and the pain of soul refining. You will not be able to escape or break away for the rest of your life."

This illusory oath floats in the sky above the ruler of truth.

The devil raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are these, last words?"

Gu Shen said no more.

He looked up.

The outside world has become infinitely dark.

The black clouds on the dome were fragmented and slowly collapsed... That was because the traveler raised his palm, and his big hand made the already dark world of Styx even darker.

This slap fell "slowly".

Because of the excessive force, the edge of its palm even burned with blazing light, causing the broken black clouds in all directions to be coated with a layer of dim gold.

There is no doubt... with this slap, all living creatures within a mile will be crushed into powder.

Gu Shen closed his eyes.

He did not want to accept his fate. At the last moment of his life, he no longer placed his hope on anyone, but concentrated on summoning the "Pure Land" again... Perhaps the miraculous place left by Pluto could Let yourself get away with it.

The violent friction sound shattered the sky and clouds, like thunder.

next moment.

Gu Shen felt a familiar mental fluctuation between his brows.

He gave up the idea of ​​summoning the "Pure Land".

"boom!!!"

An unprecedented big explosion exploded over the Styx. Gu Shen obeyed the extremely reassuring spiritual feeling in his heart and suddenly raised his head at this moment. He opened his eyes to the maximum. He looked at the traveler's huge palm that smashed down. With the raging wind and waves hundreds of meters high, they crashed down and zoomed in quickly. After a second, they had already hit the front door!

Gu Shen endured the impact that seemed to break his spine. At this moment, he could even see clearly the gap in the ravine in his palm. He and Mu Wanqiu were like stones embedded in the ravine.

The final moment——

The traveler's palm hovered ten meters in front of Gu Shen.

"Rumble--"

Under the pressure of the strong wind, Styx was knocked upside down and rolled, leaving a huge handprint.

A female figure wearing Beizhou imperial robe, her whole body shrouded in the wind and snow, stretched out a snow-white slender palm, and "lightly" withstood the traveler's blow.

She pressed the traveler's palm.

The slightly apologetic voice echoed slowly on the Styx River like a yellow bell.

"Sorry...I'm a little late."

Her Majesty the Queen paused slightly.

She looked back at Gu Shen and spoke again.

"However, I should have said...if you encounter a desperate situation where you must die, I will definitely show up."
