Chapter 130: Entering the Weird

Silence!

All the transcendents in front of the Strange Sea Elder's cabin were dead silent.

Even those top-tier powerhouses at the Oracle level stared at the projection with solemn eyes.

Even the Strange Sea Elder atop the giant banyan tree paused his work, gazing at Gune in the projection, his eyes shimmering with divine light.

At that moment, everyone's attention converged on that ordinary-looking transcendent who revealed nothing of his true power.

Meanwhile, the corpse of the top genius from the alien starry sky lay on the ground, ignored.

This genius from the alien starry sky was undoubtedly formidable.

Yet he had become nothing but a backdrop and stepping stone for Gune.

After a brief silence, murmurs gradually arose.

"Who is this guy? How is he so powerful?"

"Not sure. Could he also be a genius from the alien starry sky?"

"It seems he used a soul attack just now to kill his opponent in one blow."

"That must be it. The projection can reveal even things invisible to the eye. That fleeting blood-red shadow that plunged directly into the other's soul—it should be a soul attack."

"I feel like his spell incantation resembles someone's..."

Meanwhile.

In the camp of the Evil God and the Church, Pasta's mentor, seeing Pasta lying on the ground with smoke still rising from his body, breathed heavily and deeply, his fists clenched until they cracked, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

This student of his was a genius of extraordinary talent, someone who could hope to attain sainthood in the future.

And now, he had fallen in such a small place.

Then, the mentor's eyes fell darkly on Gune.

"Even with the protection of the Transcendent Association's strong, once you come out, you won't survive."

And those geniuses from the alien starry sky who knew Pasta's strength were even more shocked.

After all, in the large transcendent worlds, Pasta was also one of the top geniuses.

He could easily advance to Transcendent Master, and even had hope of reaching the Saint level in the future.

Yet now, he had fallen in this small-to-medium transcendent world that had only just begun to shine among the stars.

It was almost unbelievable.

This immediately made them much more cautious.

Even in small places, monstrous geniuses could emerge.

If they underestimated their enemies, they too could die here.

While many eyes were on Gune and discussions about his true identity buzzed.

Some naturally already knew who Gune was.

Others had roughly deduced the true identity of this powerful fifth-rank transcendent.

The swift passage of blood-red light, extraordinary speed, and the Magic Blade Curse, Small Thunder Flame Curse, etc.

Those who had closely followed Gune could roughly judge.

"Unexpectedly, Gune Lawrence, this super spellcaster, already possesses such astonishing strength. It seems this man cannot be left alive."

Just then, a deep voice rang out from the crowd of the Evil God and the Church.

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood.

"Gune Lawrence? Is that the super spellcaster who made a name on the ocean?"

"Since a senior has said so, it must be."

"It is said that he killed several Star Sequence geniuses in the Dragon Tomb before. Who would have thought he'd kill another top expert from the alien starry sky here."

"He's probably offended everyone on the Evil God's side."

"As if they would have let him go if he hadn't killed them."

"Hmm, that's true."

Before, Gune Lawrence had only gained some fame on the ocean, mainly due to his identity as a super spellcaster.

But this time, with his formidable strength in killing this genius from the alien starry sky.

It seemed that soon, the reputation of this top genius in Oya's history would spread to every corner of the continent.

While everyone was discussing.

Inside the Elemental Forbidden Ground.

"The attack power of this esoteric tome is truly formidable. Even my secret-silver magic-gold-grade Purple Scale Chainmail was easily pierced, and my body was blasted with seven or eight bloody holes."

Feeling his injuries, Gune shook his head lightly.

"Even the burning effect of the light that exploded inside me caused intense pain."

"If my body weren't strong, I would have been melted on the spot by the burning light."

"Unfortunately, my body is far stronger than you imagine. With the World Esoteric contained within me, injuries of this degree are merely minor wounds."

With a thought, his blood began to flow.

In just two or three breaths, the wounds pierced by the light esoteric sword beams quickly healed and restored to their original state.

A Blood Curse Master is rooted in blood.

As long as blood remains, the body is immortal.

Then Gune raised his hand.

He grabbed Pasta's powerful magic sword, the Magic Curse Sword, from the alien starry sky genius.

At the same time, Pasta's corpse was quickly taken by Death, then merged into its body.

Then, Death's gaze fell on Gune, but it did not move away.

Gune's eyes twitched slightly.

"Is it that hard for me to grab some spoils? Why does a great being like you have to haggle with me?"

After a moment of stalemate.

Gune eventually conceded and tossed out the Magic Curse Sword.

Death took the Magic Curse Sword and then moved aside.

Gune unhurriedly walked to the entrance shrouded in faint mist, then stepped inside, his figure disappearing.

Many of the observing powerhouses outside were speechless.

But then again, that Magic Curse Sword was a weapon comparable to a legendary weapon.

Anyone would covet it, so it was no wonder Gune acted that way.

When the high-ranking members of the Transcendent Association came to their senses.

They suddenly realized they had already won four consecutive matches.

Moreover, Gune Lawrence was so powerful.

With such a great advantage, they became even more composed.

"Osman, this time it's your turn to enter first, right?" said Louis, a powerhouse from the Evil God's side, in a deep voice.

After four consecutive defeats and the death of a top genius from the alien starry sky.

He too felt embarrassed.

"No, you go first," said the old man Osman with a slight smile.

"We agreed to take turns, one from each side entering first. Are you trying to back out?" Louis sneered.

"The first four rounds were agreed upon—you entered first."

Old man Osman said softly.

"Then the rotation began. Now that we're in the rotation, it should start with you. Otherwise, we can just wait slowly."

These words made Louis on the Evil God's side breathe heavily with anger.

"I'll go!"

"Dius" suddenly spoke up from the crowd.

"Be careful, and once inside, be wary of Gune Lawrence. That guy is not easy to deal with."

Dius's mentor said softly.

"I know."

Dius, who had been prepared, nodded, then leaped and quickly disappeared into the vortex.

...

Stepping onto the mountain path.

The scene before him suddenly changed rapidly.

He landed in a pitch-black forest.

Immediately, Gune cast an invisibility spell, the Dark Esoteric on his body rapidly activating, and he quietly entered a stealth state.

Then Gune glanced around.

In the mere second or so after he appeared, he had already felt cold, hungry, and hunting gazes fixed on him.

Clearly, there were many powerful beasts lurking in the surroundings, waiting for prey.

With a quick scan, Gune spotted three beasts.

"All at the sixth rank, with extremely fierce auras. They seem formidable."

"And fighting them would only yield some blood while consuming primal energy—not worth it."

Then Gune carefully sensed his source pool.

Even with the Silver Feather Staff in hand, he still felt no trace of source force flowing into his magic source pool.

"It truly completely cuts off source force."

"The name 'Elemental Forbidden Ground' is no lie."

"Fortunately, my magic source pool has a huge capacity, and I also have treasures like the Deep Source Anchor that can restore source force."

"For me, combat consumption is no problem."

Then Gune flipped his hand and took out a small bottle of source force spring water. After gulping it down, he carefully sensed.

"It can restore a little source force, but only the source force carried by the spring water itself. It cannot draw from the outside."

"For those without the Deep Source Anchor, this is the only way to restore source force."

After some thought, Gune looked toward the higher parts of the mountain range.

Even with dark vision and source force vision, when he looked out, he still saw only a blur of dark mist; nothing was visible beyond forty or fifty meters.

The entire Elemental Forbidden Ground was shrouded in a peculiar force that greatly limited Gune's vision.

After carefully scanning the darkness, Gune slowly withdrew his gaze.

No one knew what lay in the darkness.

But Gune always felt that something seemed to be lurking in the dark, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Let's go."

Composing himself slightly, Gune moved quietly and swiftly along the rugged mountain path.

At the same time, Gune opened his Adventure Panel.
