Chapter 362: How Do You Know if You Don’t Try?

Gu Xi was stunned on the spot. His expression was dull, but then his eyes changed drastically.

Ecstasy, excitement, disbelief…

All kinds of emotions filled his heart. This was the first time he felt that the System’s voice was so pleasant and pleasing to the ear.

“Extract, extract it right now!”

When he came back to his senses, he gave the order to the System without hesitation.

[Received, extracting is in progress, please wait a moment!]

The System replied very quickly.

His excited mood gradually calmed down, but Gu Xi realized that there was a very serious problem. There were too many impurities in the Void Devouring Beast in front of him. Even if the System tried its best to extract them, it would take a long time!

The first thing he needed to do now was to think of all possible ways to hold on. As long as he could hold on for a period of time, then the crisis before him would be easily resolved!

Outside the barrier of the spirit boat, the Void Devouring Beast once again appeared.

Roar roar roar–

Along with a fierce roar, a large patch of gray quickly gathered together and actually transformed into a huge sharp claw that was over a thousand feet long!

The sharp claw was formed from spatial energy. The spatial energy on its surface was continuously collapsing and recovering. Waves of destructive ripples spread out from it.

“I’ll leave this place to you. I will go and meet this beast again,” Elder Gu said in a deep voice when he saw this. He immediately moved to meet the beast.

He would definitely not watch helplessly as the Void Devouring Beast shattered the barrier. If no one stepped forward to block it, all of them would quickly die miserably in this empty space.

Just as Elder Gu was about to move, Gu Xi pulled him back. The two of them looked at each other, and Elder Gu’s eyes were full of doubt.

“With our cultivation level, we can’t drive the spirit boat fast. It’s better for me to block this beast. You drive the spirit boat.”

Gu Xi’s simple words made Elder Gu and Qing Zhu look at him with strange expressions. Even Yun Zhiyi, whose aura was dispirited, could not help but raise his eyelids and glance at him.

“Nonsense!” Elder Gu could not help but berate, “You want to stop this Void Devouring Beast? When the time comes, I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died!”

historical

Qing Zhu nodded in agreement, “Even your Master’s burning his lifespan isn’t a match for this Void Devouring Beast. What can a Saint like you do?”

In the eyes of the two, Gu Xi’s words were nothing more than a result of Yun Zhiyi’s serious injury and a moment of anger that had gone to his head.

Otherwise, in the entire world, which Saint stage cultivator would have the courage to fight an Emperor-level Void Devouring Beast to the death?

Compared to a half-step Quasi-emperor stage cultivator, the difference between an early-stage Saint stage cultivator and a half-step Quasi-emperor stage cultivator could be said to be thousands of miles. The latter could almost kill the former with a slap.

Gu Xi was also clear in his heart. However, he knew that Yun Zhiyi was now seriously injured and no longer had the strength to fight. If Elder Gu ended up like that too, the remaining three could only say that they were doomed.

At least with Elder Gu around, even if they had a one in ten thousand chance of escaping, it was still better than nothing!

Moreover, with Elder Gu’s cultivation of the Great Saint intermediate stage, he was able to activate the spirit boat at its fastest speed! After all, the spirit boat was their only hope of escaping!

Although the System had already begun to extract the Void Devouring Beast soundlessly. Due to the unique nature of the Void Devouring Beast, no one knew how much time was needed. There was no way to know!

In short, Gu Xi did not choose to put everything on the System. While the System was extracting, he had to think of all ways to escape!

“There are some things that I can do… How can I know if I don’t try?” Gu Xi smiled slightly, his eyes were firm, and his tone did not allow for any refutation.

As his words fell, he did not wait for Elder Gu to say anything before he rose up from the ground and rushed straight toward the edge of the barrier.

“This Kid!”

Seeing this, Elder Gu was about to stop him.

With the difference in cultivation between the two of them, it was only a matter of time.

“Let him go.” At this moment, Yun Zhiyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

His voice was still soft and weak, as if he did not have much time left.

Elder Gu frowned and said in a deep voice, “Brother Yun, are you just going to watch your disciple act recklessly?!”

Yun Zhiyi shook his head slowly, “That Kid is right. How can we not try some things? Besides, no matter who goes first, our fate may not change.”

He looked at Gu Xi’s back from afar, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Ever since Gu Xi became his disciple, he had broken his understanding again and again. He had learned a heaven-grade spirit array in three days, mysterious alchemy techniques, and so on…

At this moment, Yun Zhiyi could only place his hopes on Gu Xi.

Elder Gu and Qing Zhu looked at each other. Seeing that there was no room for change, they could only choose to let Gu Xi do whatever he wanted. Elder Gu did not stay idle and continued to crazily pour spiritual energy into the spirit boat.

Above, Gu Xi’s figure quickly appeared at the edge of the barrier.

In front of him was a huge claw that was a thousand feet long. The spatial energy that was filled with a destructive aura made him have the urge to turn around and run.

“I have to withstand this attack first.”

Gu Xi’s expression froze. With a wave of his large hand, spirit patterns that were filled with spiritual power continuously shot out from his body and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

“Do you want to use a spirit array formation to block this attack?” Elder Gu could not help but frown when he saw all this.

As Yun Zhiyi’s disciple, he was not surprised that Gu Xi could use the spirit array. However, even Yun Zhiyi’s spirit array could not block this Void Devouring Beast’s attack. What could a mere disciple do?

“This guy… What level of spirit array does he want to use?”

At the side, Qing Zhu’s face was filled with confusion.

She saw clearly that the number of spirit patterns in Gu Xi’s body had reached thousands, and the number was still increasing.

“Could it be… a heaven-grade spirit array?!”

Qing Zhu suddenly understood something, and her words were a bit surprised.

At the same time, a huge commotion came from above.

With the reappearance of the spirit patterns, they had already formed a huge spirit array. The spirit array revolved slowly, and without any pause, it charged toward the sharp claws above.

“It really is the heave-grade!”

Qing Zhu’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and the surprise in her eyes became even more intense. Even Elder Gu’s eyes were also filled with surprise.

To be able to set up a heaven-grade array at such a young age, such talent could be said to be monstrous!
