Chapter 329: Lacking Fine Control
"Roar!"
A furious roar resounded throughout Tiluo World. The silver dragon thrashed madly in the air, causing a fearsome power of space to spread in all directions, almost tearing all their surroundings to pieces.
Fortunately, the furious silver dragon was no longer in the right state of mind to consciously control her laws—the power of space she instinctively wielded wasn’t very condensed, or else her attack just now would’ve been enough to pulverize Lou Wanying.
But Lou Wanying was nevertheless unconscious throughout this exchange and could only tank all attacks with his Tier 4 body, so in the end, the power of space instantly inflicted heavy injuries upon him.
However, Gu Nan was no longer inclined to worry about Lou Wanying's survival and casually tossed him aside while Gu Nan himself stuck close to the silver dragon's belly, his figure swaying unpredictably in all directions.
The sharp pain brought the silver dragon back to her senses, but she received a few more punches to the stomach in the process. For a while, she was at a loss on what to do.
The enormous silver dragon was called Long Ling’er, a name given by Lu Wen.
Long Ling'er wasn’t actually very old when considering the lifespan of the dragon race. She also hadn’t experienced many battles yet and mostly relied on her instincts to fight.
In contrast, Gu Nan's combat experience was way too rich.
Not only did he know all of the dragon race’s weaknesses, he was also incomparably familiar with the law of space.
The law of space was indeed quite powerful and possessed very interesting playstyles in terms of both attack and support, but the dragon before him was obviously still a beginner at it.
Regarding this kind of newbie who only knew how to "tear apart space," merely sticking close to them was enough to stump the opponent.
The current Long Ling'er was like a human holding a sharp knife while a bee buzzed wildly over her stomach and even stung her every once in a while. This annoyed her immensely, but at the same time, she also didn’t dare slash it with her knife.
If she really did swing her knife down, the probability of cutting the opponent was very low, but in contrast, she would almost certainly cut herself!
That’s right—Gu Nan was bullying Long Ling'er by using her lack of experience and inability to finely manipulate her own law against her. She simply couldn’t get a good grasp on his position.
Long Ling'er was still in a daze, but Gu Nan's movements didn’t pause. He used both his hands and feet to land strikes on the giant dragon's abdomen.
If not for a dragon’s strong physique and Long Ling’er’s naturally monstrous strength, he probably would’ve torn a hole through her stomach by now.
Long Ling'er finally couldn’t help giving a sharp hiss as her figure quickly shrunk. She actually changed into human form, taking on the appearance of the young girl that Gu Nan met earlier.
With the space freed up from shrinking her body, she quickly laid a spatial barrier between her and Gu Nan. Only then did she have time to gasp for breath.
"So you’re not too stupid." Gu Nan chuckled and ignored her again, turning around to tear open a spatial rift and stepping inside.
The Long Ling'er who’d been beaten to such an extent couldn’t even take care of herself, let alone continue to seal off their surrounding space.
……
After killing Luo Ze, Gu Nan's saint clone left Tiluo World directly and hid in a random plane, attentively watching the frontline situation.
Gu Nan had little doubt that the sand of time would fall into Lou Wanying’s hands.
Although he didn’t know why Valen made a move, it almost certainly wasn’t to acquire the blueprint—a major god of his level absolutely didn’t lack special structures inside his Divine Kingdom.
Since Lu Wen wanted to obtain the sand of time for Lou Wanying, could Valen also have a junior he wanted to look after? How could there be such a coincidence?
Based on Gu Nan's understanding of Valen, this rascal most likely found out about Lu Wen's plans and came all the way over to join the fun while causing some trouble for his opponent in passing.
As one of the younger generation within the twelve major gods, Valen had a mischievous personality that liked to join in on the fun, so his figure could often be seen everywhere. Gu Nan had witnessed this a long time ago in his previous life.
But a concept like the Myriad Heavens Universe didn’t exist at all in his past life, so Valen’s troublemaker tendencies were limited to the World of Gods, often provoking the wrath of gods and humans alike.
The wait turned out to be three days. Countless glowing figures threw themselves into the round bead on the frontline.
Gu Nan wasn’t physically present at the frontline, so he simply couldn’t tell who entered, and towards the end, he was too lazy to even watch.
In any case, the unconscious Lou Wanying would definitely be saved and transported into the Time Arena, but Gu Nan just didn’t know who would be entering with him—now that Luo Ze died, Lou Wanying would most certainly need another helper.
Lu Wen knew Gu Nan would try to seize the treasure, so he would definitely prepare a backup plan to deal with Gu Nan.
Gu Nan also knew that Lu Wen knew this, so he killed Luo Ze at the very last minute without giving Lu Wen time to arrange other plans, forcing him to prematurely use that backup plan of his.
But in the end, this only worked because he was strong enough to stop Luo Ze from releasing the godly skill called “summoning one’s parent” while also giving the Dragon of Space a vicious beating. Only then was he able to leisurely make his escape.
Lu Wen most certainly had Star Rulers under him, but they might not dare to show their faces too blatantly on the frontlines lest they be hit by the Rain of Time.
He probably wouldn’t even have sent Long Ling'er unless as a last resort.
Gu Nan calmly watched the frontlines. The Time Arena was about to activate soon, and due to the nature of the frozen time inside it, it would end in a flash immediately after starting, and the result would appear instantly.
‘When that happens…’
"Gu Nan," a clear voice rang out beside Gu Nan.
The latter suddenly turned around and saw a petite figure.
Bai Qiaozhen was studying Gu Nan with a smile, seemingly very interested in him. She actually didn’t follow Lou Wanying inside the Time Arena.
"How did you find me?" Gu Nan asked expressionlessly, completely unfazed by this princess of White Bones Realm in front of him.
Bai Qiaozhen stared at him with amusement. "You’re the one who ran into my family's territory, yet you’re asking how I found you?"
Gu Nan looked down and realized that the space rift he casually opened just happened to lead him to White Bones Realm. This wasn’t surprising—he left White Bones Realm just earlier, so he absentmindedly picked this place to return to now.
Normally, not even a powerhouse like Lu Wen could spy on other people's astral worlds at will. At most, he could only watch from outside the plane if some major event occurred.
But as the only daughter of the Star Ruler of White Bones Realm, it really wasn’t hard for Bai Qiaozhen to find him.
After understanding this, Gu Nan turned around and left. Since Bai Qiaozhen didn’t have anything he needed, he also lost all interest in engaging in “dialogue” with her.
Bai Qiaozhen couldn’t help feeling somewhat baffled when she saw this. But she wasn’t in a hurry either. She simply came up to Gu Nan's side and asked, "You’re looking at that blessed land, aren’t you? Don’t tell me you want to seize it?"
Her guess was quite accurate, but in all likelihood, anyone who still refused to enter the blessed land and just watched from the outside almost certainly had this goal in mind.
Gu Nan wasn’t the only person who harbored such thoughts.
Gu Nan continued to ignore her. He felt that there was no need to answer people who had no value.
After being ignored for the second time, the corners of Bai Qiaozhen's mouth finally twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but threaten, "Don't forget where we are! If you don't answer me properly again…"
"You can try," Gu Nan finally turned his head and also answered Bai Qiaozhen for the first time, only these were three words she never wanted to hear.
Bai Qiaozhen didn’t feel the slightest ounce of killing intent from him when he said this, but for some reason, she felt that she truly would die.
When she came back to her senses, Gu Nan's figure had already vanished, and the bead on the frontline was radiating a golden light.
