Chapter 750 Mantis Catching Cicada

The world was dim.

Xu Han's head was also in a daze.

His body continued to fall down, and his speed was extremely fast. The airflow in the air cut through his cortex, causing his entire body to feel intense pain from being cut by sharp weapons at that time.

However, Xu Han did not hate this feeling. In fact, it was precisely this kind of pain that kept his muddled head clean.

He fell faster and faster. He passed through the boundless void, crossed the stars on the dome, and broke through the layers of clouds.

The scene in front of him gradually became clearer. He saw a piece of red earth spraying hot lava from the depths of the earth, devouring every inch of the earth like a tide. The crowd scattered like ants, wailing and crying endlessly, but they were submerged under this calamity of collapsing mountains and earth.

Xu Han remembered that he seemed to have seen such a scene somewhere before. There was not the slightest fluctuation in his heart. His body was still falling. The earth that caught his eyes gradually shrunk, but at the same time, it gradually became clear. He saw a messy cliff. On the corpses of countless gigantic humanoid monsters, a purple-eyed girl was looking at Xu Han with red eyes and an incomparably resentful gaze.

Xu Han's body, which was constantly falling, was gradually being dragged down by an invisible force. His falling body stopped and floated in midair. However, he did not marvel at such a change. Rather, he wondered why this purple-eyed girl, or rather, why her master and mother would look at him with such a gaze.

However, this puzzle was quickly answered.

"Why! Why did you lie to me!" The purple-eyed girl raised her finger towards the sky and asked angrily.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before he reacted. It turned out that the purple-eyed girl's words were not for him. Similarly, her gaze was not directed at him. Xu Han regained his senses and turned to look at the dome. He saw that a huge human face had already formed on the dome. He also looked at this place, but surprisingly, he crossed over Xu Han and looked straight at Ghost Subhuti behind him. It was as if Xu Han did not exist in the eyes of either side of the confrontation.

'"I lied to you? When did I lie to you? If you want the power to restore the country, I will pass on the Demigod God Seed to you. If you want a chance, I will give you a chance to do it again. Look at the world around you. The world is reorganizing at this moment. Everything will return to what I promised before you two met. Don't you see that everything is as I promised?" Skyline's face said this with an undisguised mockery and ridicule in its dull tone.

'"This is not what I want … this is not …" Ghost Subhuti looked at the world below the mountain in dismay. The rolling lava was devouring the lives of the creatures like crazy. Anyone who touched half of the lava, ordinary people, and peerless immortals, were instantly drained of their vitality by that force. The terror in their eyes was frozen at that moment, and then their bodies were disintegrated into countless tiny particles that surged into the depths of the world under the pull of the surging lava.

"Enjoy it. It's all over again. You and him will meet again, but the end is already decided." The gigantic face narrowed its eyes and looked at Gui Puti. Then, it slowly dissipated. The world was completely silent except for the endless howls that echoed like a purgatory.

Tears gushed out of the purple-eyed girl's eyes. She knelt on the ground, her hands tightly clutching the dirt on the ground. Her fingernails were still cut out with bloodstains. A series of emotions of annoyance, regret, unwillingness and hatred surged into her heart. Her body began to tremble, and a powerful will within her awakened from her deep sleep. Seeing that it was about to surge through her entire body, her eyes instantly darkened.

Just as she was about to let that power corrode her, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.

Gui Puti was slightly stunned. The will that was about to corrode her body dissipated at that moment. She turned around and looked behind her. She saw a black-clothed youth covered in blood standing behind her. The corner of her mouth was smiling as she looked at her. He said, "Mother, don't give up. We still have a chance."

Gui Puti was stunned. Out of guilt and despair for Wei Lai, she did not immediately respond to the youth. Instead, she said dispiritedly, "It's over. Everything is over. It's me." She turned her gaze away and swept across the corpses on the ground. "It was me who harmed you."

However, Xu Han still had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to help Gui Puti up and said, "We are all chess pieces on the chessboard. We can't help but say things that are not sincere. No one can blame us or anyone else."

"But now that the chess players have cleared the chessboard, we have a chance to bury a piece. When the time comes, one piece will flip the chessboard."

Gui Puti was still a little stunned, but perhaps it was the certainty in the youth's tone that infected her. She couldn't help but ask, "How can I bury it?"

The youth was speechless, only turning his head to look behind him. Ghost Subhuti noticed the oddity and subconsciously followed the youth's gaze. There were still several figures standing behind him at that time. A girl around ten years old, dressed in black and white clothes, had the same appearance as the two old men. Of course, there was also the only successor of the Bandit Saint Sect, Chu Chouli.

Xu Han in the horizon looked at everything in front of him. He finally understood that the ghost Subhuti in front of him, as well as himself, as well as the nineteen behind him, Zhou Yuan, and even Chu Chouli, were all fantasies in his memory.

He came to his senses, and the fantasies around him began to crack. With a light sound, those fantasies and everything around them shattered.

…

Hu!

Hu!

Hu!

Xu Han opened his eyes. His mouth was panting heavily, and his forehead was covered in dense sweat.

"What a pity, I almost saw your deepest secret." But before Xu Han could figure out where he was, a deep voice came from beside his ear.

Under the sound, Xu Han's dim head became clearer. He looked up and saw an incomparably pitch black room. That pitch black was not something that could be rendered, but a kind of complete darkness that could not even be shone by the sunlight. Ordinary people couldn't see anything in it at all, but fortunately, Xu Han wasn't very human.

Therefore, he clearly saw several figures standing in front of him, and these people could be considered old acquaintances of Xu Han.

The Lunar Temple's Palace Master, Shen Wushuang. The previous Beijiang King, Wang Muji, was now the Beijiang King, Zhou Zhang, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry Commander, Meng Ke, the Chen Empire Emperor, Chen Xuanji, and, of course, the Yuan Cultivator who had been like a maggot tarsal bones all the way from Qing Zhou.

Seeing these dead or undead people appear in front of him, Xu Han was not surprised at all. What really made Xu Han uneasy was that his limbs were being wrapped around by a huge black chain, and his body was hanging high in the air. Xu Han had the intention to use the power in his body to break free from this restriction, but at this moment, his body was empty and didn't have the slightest bit of power to drive him. Xu Han quickly realized that it must be the strange nature of the iron chain. He thought about what had happened before he fainted, but he couldn't understand how he had fallen into the hands of Shen Wushuang in front of him.

"Stop struggling. You won't be able to break free from this chain." Shen Wushuang clearly saw through Xu Han's thoughts. He leisurely paced lightly in front of Xu Han, but he said so. Then, he stretched out his hand, and his snow-white fingers slid out from his wide black long sleeve. He gently pointed his hand on the iron chain. The collision between the two made a light sound, echoing in the quiet room door, like the tune before a certain music started.

"This is something bestowed by God. It's made for you. It can seal off any bit of power in your body."

"God?" Xu Han calmed down from his initial shock. He no longer struggled meaninglessly, but secretly tried to activate the power in his body. But on the surface, he looked at Shen Wushuang and asked coldly, "So Shen Wushuang, who is known as the number one immortal in the world, also has a god that he believes in?"

The mockery in Xu Han's tone was naturally not concealed, but such a clumsy provocation technique was obviously not enough to cause Shen Wushuang's state of mind to stir up the slightest ripple. He smiled and said, "The gods that mortals believe in are nothing more than dead creatures or fictional figures. But in the end, such existences are all human beings. What's the big deal about humans? It's just that they have higher cultivation and longer lifespans. How can they be equipped with gods?"

"Look, that Ghost Rice who thinks he is the Lord of the Universal Domain of the Universe. They treat all living beings in this world as cattle and sheep in captivity. They treat me and those stupid True Immortals as shepherds' dogs. They think that their schemes are foolproof, but they forget that they are not gods, they are humans. And humans, they will always make mistakes."

Xu Han stared at Shen Wushuang, who was speaking so confidently, and said, "Since even someone as powerful as Gui Gu Zi is not a god, who is the god in your mouth?"

Shen Wushuang narrowed his eyes. A deep chill suddenly appeared between his eyes. At that time, he said word by word, "Naturally it's you!"

"Me?" Xu Han was slightly stunned, but his face quickly revealed an unclear smile. He asked, "Since I am the god that His Excellency the Palace Master spoke of, then isn't it a bit too disrespectful to treat your god like this?"

"I said before that God is not a human. If you want to become a God, the first thing you need to do is erase that part of yourself that is a human." Shen Wushuang maintained his calm attitude. After he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the iron chain that trapped Xu Han with his fair finger.

"Of course, as a human being, it is indeed very difficult to do this, but it doesn't matter. I will help you, my God." Shen Wushuang's voice sounded again, but unlike before, his tone was even deeper, carrying a faint hint of fanaticism.

Xu Han was just about to say something, But then his mouth opened, His expression suddenly changed. In an instant, he turned pale. He looked at the chains that were trapping him. He could clearly see the four chains trembling violently. Then, in the depths that he couldn't see clearly, four black things like poisonous snakes were circling along the four chains and surging towards Xu Han.

Xu Han could sense a familiar smell from the four black objects-the power of an emperor.

At that moment, his pupils suddenly dilated. Then, he looked at the incomparably handsome man in front of him in disbelief and asked loudly, "Shen Wushuang, do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I do." Shen Wushuang smiled as he spoke. The calm that still existed on his face and Xu Han's increasingly ferocious appearance formed a sharp contrast in this dark space. "Offer sacrifices to the gods and summon their arrival."

Xu Han's body struggled violently. At that moment, his head leaned forward and collided with Shen Wushuang's forehead. "Do you know what your so-called God will bring? That is something that even Ghost Grain does not dare to face!"

The expression on Xu Han's face became even more ferocious. The anger in his eyes suddenly darkened and brightened. The black aura had already flowed into his body along the four iron chains, continuously corroding his body. The chain had already locked onto the power in Xu Han's body. At this moment, under the corrosion of the dark aura, Xu Han could only rely on his own will to fight against that powerful power. However, this was more like a battle between trapped beasts. Sooner or later, his will would be completely submerged under that dark power.

"The reason why the Ghost Valley disciples dare not face him is because they are trying to touch the power of the gods. We are different. We are his faithful servants, and God will only destroy stupid creatures. We will become God's people and work with him to maintain the order of the starry sky that has been out of balance for hundreds of thousands of years." Shen Wushuang looked at Xu Han with a painful expression. A smile gradually surged in his eyes. As he whispered these words, his entire body began to emit black auras similar to that of the Emperor. Of course, it wasn't just him, it was also the people behind him. For a moment, black gas surged into the sky in this dark space.

Xu Han said, looking at the situation in his eyes, He was naturally very familiar with the Emperor's power. Because he had absorbed too much of the Emperor's power, He also had a clear understanding of the current state of the crowd. Just as they had said, they had become the servants of the emperor, just like the Prime Minister Liu who had voluntarily given his life in front of the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum. At this moment, these familiar or unfamiliar people in front of him had already become the ancient demons under the emperor!

Xu Han quickly understood something.

For example, why did Xu Han, the white-robed emperor of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, bother to tell him the whole story? Or, why did he fight to the death outside the world to buy time for this world? And this time did not only belong to the creatures of this world, it also belonged to the emperors in the depths of this world. He never gave up the chance to break through the seal, and now he's got it…

Xu Han thought of this, but the black aura had already flowed into his body. His eyes were instantly pitch black, and the consciousness in his mind gradually blurred at that time.
