Chapter 1085: I am sorry, I might die before you can marry me!

Dark Immortal Beast – Wang Yue sprawled across the expanse of gray fog, its abyss-like maw seemed about to engulf the heavens and earths. Devoid of any discernible will, it functioned on mere instinct, voraciously consuming every living entity within its vicinity.(Ed Note: Dark Immortal Beast – Wang Yue is also a degenerated being and was corroded already by the gray fog. We will use its short name Dark Wang Yue in the following chapters. Dark means “degenerated ” here.)

Amidst the depths of fog, several degenerated Dao-Building beasts exuding formidable auras detected the situation here and sought to flee in terror, but from the vast maw of Dark Wang Yue surged an huge suction which ensnared them around its maw tightly. A vortex of darkness formed, these ferocious degenerated beasts were devoured before they could even unleash a cry of terror.

“Its strength is far more than Dao-Building cultivators…”

Jiang Chuchu, surrounded by azure light, stood amidst the dense fog, with a serene face as her white gown and black tresses danced in the breeze.

In the presence of this greatly huge Wang Yue, she appeared minuscule, hardly more than a mote of dust. Let alone her, but even those planet-like degenerated beasts were nothing rather than a grain of sand.

With the huge suction, Dark Wang Yue started swallowing.

The entire Absolute Heavenly Extinction trembled in the wake of this Immortal Beast while the space around fracturing, numberless degenerated beings, akin to mayflies in a tempest, collectively fell sacrificial offerings to this merciless swallowing.

“I am sorry, Changge, I haven’t married you…”

Jiang Chuchu whispered as her gemlike eyes lifted to stare towards Dark Wang Yue that’s invisible because of the huge build.

In this juncture, resistance proved futile.

Even Dao-Building beings were unable to flee under Dark Wang Yue’s absolute dominance, would she be an exception?

Consequently, she remained astonishingly composed, showing no signs of despair even in the face of imminent demise.

Nonetheless, a tinge of remorse lingered within her; certain things would forever remain undone.

“Changge…”

A surge of memories and sentiments surged, culminating in an apparition of Gu Changge in Jiang Chuchu’s mind. Her face looked dreamy as if even the Dark Wang Yue was not in her sight this instant.

Whether this was a delusion or reality, she indeed saw Gu Changge’s figure at this instant. He still wore his signature black garb, exuding an elegance of unmatched aloofness. His gaze, deep and tranquil, seemed tinged with a hint of rage.

“Perhaps my longing for him remains too fervent. But how could he be here?”

A fleeting smile graced her lips, self-deprecating and incredulous, as though the thought was too fantastical.

Changge is now avoiding rumors, how can he show up here?

Boom!

In her ensuing heartbeat, a cataclysmic Sword Qi cleaved through the firmament and contained boundless killing intent, as if about to cut off the time river.

It’s so terrifying, condensed by hundreds of millions of swords, surrounded by many sword laws, only its aura was enough to sunder all.

The gray fog and degenerated creatures collapsed under its sweep, resembling a road suddenly appearing on thorn bushes.

Dark Wang Yue, amidst its feast, shrieked suddenly because of agony.

The world trembled, giving rise to a vast downpour of dark blood that cascaded over this drained world.

Even the creature as invincible as the Dark Wang Yue’s suffered grievous injuries and wounds, revealing corroded black skeletons. Inside, numerous dark stars seemed to flicker, as if its body really hid a decaying and incomplete ancient universe.

Its instincts told it, flee, an unimaginable existence that could threaten its life was here now.

Rumble!!

The universe quaked in response to the sword attack, the pervasive gray fog surged forth like an unstoppable tide, sweeping through all directions.

Dark Wang Yue sensed the impending danger, it writhed, attempting to evade this area and continue its feast in an alternate location.

“What’s occurring?”

The sudden turn of events left Jiang Chuchu astounded. Her eyes opened wide, unbelieving of the scene.

It’s Gu Changge?

He really appears and scares Dark Wang Yue away just as I am thinking about him?

The surreal situation bordered on the edge of a dream, and Jiang Chuchu questioned the reality before her, wondering if she was experiencing an illusion.

Amidst the dense fog, the figure of Gu Changge materialized, swift landing beside her in a blink of an eye. Serene and deep, his gaze at her was the same as usual, but Jiang Chuchu could not ignore the underlying anger seeping through his composure.

“Changge…”

Her voice quivered as her gaze met his, a mix of shock and incredulity painted across her face. The realization dawned that this was indeed Gu Changge, tangibly present and not a figment of her imagination. Her skepticism dissolved into astonishment as she comprehended that he had intervened just in the nick of time, thwarting Dark Wang Yue’s impending consumption of her.

His unwavering presence during times of crisis puzzled her—why did he consistently appear at her most vulnerable moments? Was he truly the harbinger of her salvation, a celestial guardian watching over her?

Moreover, this time, Gu Changge was facing a huge crisis to expose his identity as the inheritor of demonic arts.

But he was still willing to take such a risk to seek her here.

“If I am here a bit later, you would have been the morsel of the ravenous Dark Wang Yue by now.”

“Jiang Chuchu, your courage is truly exceptional, venturing solo into this dangerous place, confronting an Immortal Beast – Dark Wang, you are really great!”

Gu Changge’s words were filled with nonchalant and jeering, however, Jiang Chuchu understood that his seemingly detached tone masked his genuine worry about her.

“I… I…”

Her response wavered, words stumbling amidst her efforts to convey her thoughts and feelings.

“I was attempting to uncover the source of the scourge, in hopes of aiding the common people. That’s why I ventured here, oblivious to the dangers that awaited me.”

“I am sorry, you… Can you please not be angry?”

Her anxious words tumbled forth as she endeavored to mollify his anger.

After all, Gu Changge’s reproach was not unfounded – had he not arrived when he did, Jiang Chuchu would have likely fallen victim to Dark Wang Yue’s insatiable appetite.

Furthermore, she acknowledged her own lapse in judgment, recognizing the recklessness in her decision. She had mistakenly assumed there were multiple avenues to evade danger, delving into the depths of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction without fully comprehending the risks.

It was a glaring oversight, given that even Dao-Building cultivators hesitated to tread this perilous ground, let alone her, a little Sacred Realm cultivator.

Moreover, the most important point was that Gu Changge came here to look for her at the risk of being an enemy of the entire world.

She caused him great trouble and even exposed his traces, attracting countless enemies.
