Chapter 742: Left Messenger: I’m On Your Side. Let Me Lead The Way
Guhui looked at three of them and said nothing. As he waved his hand, a gush of Origins appeared from the center of his palm. It was the Origins from the first dimension that he refined in his body. All of the Eldritchs looked at the Origins with affection and excitement. Inevitably, it was the ultimate power and strength within the seven dimensions. Even a Wisdom Elite would become a green eyed-monster when he saw the Origins. That amount of Origins was able to increase a person’s strength in a short time.
Guhui said calmly, “Take out your weapons.”
The body of Gu Qingyun and the other two men suddenly trembled. Their faces were showing excitement and anticipation. They took out their weapons without any hesitation. It was a spear, a dagger, and a long ruler.
Guhui nodded his head, waved his hand, and pointed at their weapons. The space started to distort visibly and a weird power surrounded the three weapons and enlarged their spiritual lights. A strong source of power began to overflow from the weapons. It made the Wisdom around them manifest itself as a rainbow-colored aurora with extraordinary power.
Originally, the three weapons were merely ordinary weapons. After the enforcement from the Origins, the weapons emerged as Origins Ultimate Treasures that belonged to the higher end class. For example, if a first-step Wisdom Elite obtained the weapon, he could possibly win in a fight against a second-step Wisdom Elite.
The trio was overjoyed and said, “Thank you for the present, Ancestor Eldritch.”
“You don’t have to thank me. This is an extremely important matter which concerns the future of our clan. The seventh dimension is a mysterious place so I must make sure you all come back safely. Your priority is to seek the antidote. The rest of the matters can wait until the antidote is retrieved. Try not to cause any big trouble to avoid any accidents,” said Guhui solemnly.
It was a matter of his life and death so he took the liberty to remind them again and again.
Gu Qingyun said, “Ancient Eldritch, rest assured. We won’t fail you, especially with the upgrade of our weapons. The seventh dimension’s nothing now.”
Guhui nodded and suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at Gu Hongtian.
The Origins appeared in the form of a dragon and entered Gu Hongtian’s body through his forehead. The aura in his body soared and his robes flapped as if they were being blown by strong winds. The horrible power cracked open the space around him and isolated him from the rest of the people. Very soon, the commotion subsided. Gu Hongtian’s face flushed red and his eyes were burning with power. “Thank you for giving me superior power, Ancestor Eldritch.”
“Hongtian, you have the strongest combat power among them. Hence, I’ve entrusted the Origins to your body to make you even stronger. There’s no room for error. You can only succeed and not fail,” said Guhui.
The trio felt the heavy burden they carried and said with determination, “Don’t worry, Ancestor Eldritch.”
“Leave now. Don’t let me down. I’ll wait for the good news.” Guhui waved his hand again. He used his mana to forcefully open the portal and the three men lead 10 Eldritch men into the seventh dimension.
In the seventh dimension, the wind blew and Wisdom arrived like the tide. Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of nowhere. A terrifying aura tore apart the space like a knife tearing through paper. After that, 13 Eldritch men arrived. Their faces were cold and their eyes were as sharp as blades. The surrounding space around them solidified because of the terrifying aura. Many monks were attracted to come and watch because of the huge commotion. They looked at the Eldritchs in amazement.
Suddenly, an elderly man’s pupils widened, and shouted in horror, “Eldritch… They’re the Eldritchs!”
“What? The Eldritchs entered the seventh dimension?”
“Run for your life. The Eldritchs are going to invade the seventh dimension!”
“What a scary aura. There’s no doubt they’ll start to kill without any mercy!”
For the time being, many of the monks fled the scene in fear that they would become the target of the Eldritchs.
Gu Qingyun stood steadily and said calmly, “Our mission’s top-secret and we can’t allow anyone to expose that we’re here in the seventh dimension.”
“Don’t worry. None of them will escape.” Gu Zong laughed as he suddenly stepped forward and raised his finger to the sky and said majestically, “Void cage!”
Wisdom started to surround Gu Zong’s body as the Origins in his body started to revolve. The surrounding environment stood still and the space immediately solidified. Those who were fleeing suddenly stopped moving like fishes being frozen in a frozen river. The monks were shocked and used all of their strength to try to escape. However, it was useless.
“It’s been a long time since I tasted a monk. This is a good opportunity to remember the delicious taste,” said Gu Zong, sneering.
Gu Zong raised both of his hands and a powerful suction force spread. One after another, the monks were sucked in front of him, and then, their mana and Origins of Life were absorbed by him. The rest of the Eldritch men acted the same. They were like merciless huge beasts hunting for food.
Very soon, the area regained its tranquility. The group of monks was sucked empty. Gu Zong licked his lips. He had robbed a part of the monk’s memory and said, “The third, fourth, fifth, and seventh dimensions already have portals connecting to each other. If Ancestor Eldritch didn’t fall for the trap, we could’ve easily invaded those four dimensions and the Origins would belong to us and our power and strength would grow immensely.”
Gu Zong’s tone was full of regret. If everything went according to plan, Guhui would have led the Eldritchs to become the ruler of the four dimensions.
Gu Hongtian said, “Don’t think too much. Don’t forget our mission. The priority is to seek the antidote for Ancestor Eldritch.”
Gu Zong said, “I know. But the seventh dimension is such a big place and we’re clueless about where to look for the antidote. Since we’re here, we should just have a little bit of the Origins. As long as we don’t leave any traces and kill everyone, no one will notice in a short time.”
Gu Qingyun frowned and thought for a while before saying, “Absorb the Origins as we go and discover the secret of the seventh dimension? This is also a good idea. We should do it discreetly so no one will notice us.”
“Hahaha! Of course. As long as we don’t create any huge troubles, no one will notice,” Gu Zong laughed and said, “Then what are we waiting for? I can sense that there’s a small world nearby that’s full of energetic beings.”
He then left and crossed the dimension. Very soon, the group of Eldritchs descended into the small world. They waved their hand and the small world was isolated from the rest of the seventh dimension. The Eldritchs started to devour the small world. Within half an hour, the small world became a deserted planet.
The Eldritchs were like locusts crossing the borders, devouring one small world after another ruthlessly. When they met a monk on the way, they slaughtered him at will. No one was their match.
“Hahaha! How enjoyable is this? That’ll show them how powerful we are.”
“It seems that the seventh dimension is nothing more than that. We’re truly the most powerful clan in the seven dimensions.”
Gu Hongtian said, “Why would my disciple Gu Zhan die in this realm? He had great strength and was equipped with the Extermination Demon Sword. I must make the person who killed him pay the price!”
At that moment, they had descended into another small world and were looting it wildly. The sky of the small world faded and Wisdom was being suppressed as it descended into purgatory. Every living being in the small world was panicking but they had nowhere to escape.
Gu Zong turned into a giant. He stood tall and opened his mouth and sucked them in like a whale. Numerous monks were sucked into his mouth and he swallowed all of them. Gu Hongtian portrayed his face to the sky. It was as big as the sky and it overlooked the small world as it laughed cruelly.
“Does anyone know how the Eldritchs died in the seventh dimension not long ago? Tell me now!” Gu Zong’s voice resounded like thunder and echoed loudly in the small world.
In a hidden place, a figure was trembling with fear. She had a half-cry and half-laughing grimace mask. She was the Left Messenger of the Ministry. In the beginning, she had experienced too many occurrences. She watched her comrades around her inexplicably fall, one by one. She even watched the Minister whom she thought was invincible drink urine. Her insights collapsed directly and she felt deeply how scary the world was. Now, she had lost all of her will to fight and stayed hidden here.
She was a fighter of the Heavenly Realm and was regarded as one of the influential people in the dimension. Her life was better than good. However, as the changes in the seventh dimension continued to become bigger and bigger, more skilled fighters emerged recently. Hence, she decided to hide. She thought of all kinds of ways to survive without making a scene. Her sole mission was to survive and continue living. Nevertheless, little did she know that no matter how hard she tried, disaster would always find her. She wanted to cry just thinking of how the world was so unfriendly to her.
At that moment, she saw that her current world was about to end. There were no chances to survive. She gritted her teeth and took the initiative to step out. She looked at the huge face in the sky.
“Dear Eldritchs, I’m on your side. I know everything!” Left Messenger said respectfully.
Gu Hongtian looked at Left Messenger. He raised his hand to grasp and pulled her in front of him and said indifferently, “Tell me what you know.”
The rest of the Eldritchs gathered around and looked at Left Messenger with keen interest.
Left Messenger said immediately, “Do you still remember the Ministry? We were the pawns that you had arranged and placed in the seventh dimension. I was one of the members of the Ministry.”
Gu Qingyun nodded and asked, “So, you’re from the Ministry?”
“Yes, I’m the Left Messenger of the Ministry! After the Ministry was destroyed, I managed to escape and stayed hidden here to await for the organization to reappear. And now, I finally meet you!” Left Messenger cried but it was because she was scared of the Eldritchs.
Gu Hong Tian said, “Tell me what happened.”
“You have no idea. The seventh dimension is very mysterious.”
At that moment, Left Messenger told them the story while exaggerating parts of it. When she finally finished with the story, Gu Qingyun looked undisturbed.
Gu Qingyun said plainly, “That group of people with the dog don’t look very powerful. At best, they’re just Wisdom Elites.”
Gu Hongtian said, “However, there are obviously strong people behind them. Did my disciple Gu Zhan also die because of this group of people?”
“Yes, it’s because of them. They’re definitely the scariest existence in the seventh dimension!”
Although Left Messenger did not see it with her own eyes, she blamed them because she was certain that they were the ones responsible for it. She continued to say, “All of you should be careful. According to my experience, there’s never a good ending going against that group of people.”
Gu Zong smiled contemptuously and said, “Haha. According to your story, it’s really weird. But their strength is just average and there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Gu Qingyun said, “Looks like we’ve found the right person. We need to find that group of people to know the whereabouts of the antidote for Ancestor Eldritch.”
Gu Hongtian asked Left Messenger, “Do you know where the group of people are?”
Left Messenger answered, “Yes. I searched for them but never dared to go myself.”
“Very well, lead the way.”
After that, Left Messenger brought the Eldritchs to the Area of the Gods. Along the way, she was feeling very down, constantly weighing the pros and cons.
‘Who should I side with?’ Left Messenger kept thinking.
Left Messenger understood well the quirkiness of the group of people and she did not dare to be their enemy. However, this group of Eldritchs looked very powerful and their spiritual cultivation was very high. She could not predict who would be the winner.
However, along the way, she noticed that all of the Eldritchs were smiling confidently. Her heart slightly skipped a beat as she wondered why this scene looked so familiar.
‘Oh, no. The more confident they are, the more panic I feel!’ Left Messenger thought.
Within no time, they had entered the Area of the Gods.
Gu Zong checked out the surroundings and said greedily, “This place is full of treasures. Once Ancestor Eldritch recovers, we should invade this place and swallow it.”
Gu Hongtian nodded in agreement. “Everything’s going very well in the seventh dimension. It even surpasses our expectations.”
Gu Qingyun reminded, “Pull yourself together and stay alert. Don’t create any troubles.”
The group continued at a fast speed. After a while, they followed Left Messenger and arrived at the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain. When they arrived, they stared at a distance not far away.
A person was holding a sword and chopping wood vigorously. Gu Hongtian arched his brow. He stepped forward and asked coldly, “Woodcutter, do you know who is on this mountain?”
Jiang Liu glanced at him indifferently while continuing to chop wood. He said calmly, “There are people you can’t afford to offend.”
“Hehe, I can tell you’re no ordinary man with one glance,” Gu Hongtian had a bloodthirsty smile as he ordered cruelly, “Kill him!”
Immediately, one of the Eldritchs shot toward him. He raised his hand to suppress Jiang Liu. Other than the trio, the rest of the 10 Eldritch men were all Wisdom Elites. With that attack, Wisdom flowed and gathered together to become a killing strike that could kill Jiang Liu.
However, when the attack neared Jiang Liu, he twitched a little and turned to chop humans instead of wood. The attack from Jiang Liu was very plain and normal without any fancy movement. However, it was extremely stunning. It easily extinguished the ultimate power of the attack from the Eldritch man and in turn, beheaded him.
