“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Deafening roars transmitted from the primitive mountain forest.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a two or three-year-old child burst out from the undergrowth, both hands holding an egg much larger than his own body!
“Boom boom!”
Several enormous dinosaur-like demon beasts crashed through rocks and trees in pursuit, their eyes flashing with towering fury as if they had entered a berserk state.
That egg was their child.
Suddenly stolen away, they were naturally very enraged!
“Come on!”
The child ran while shouting: “Come catch me!”
If any martial artist from Star Meteor Continent were present, they would definitely be shocked beyond measure, because this little fellow looked only two or three years old, yet with his little short legs he ran swift as the wind, and especially the aura he emanated seemed no weaker than a Wudi!
Could it be?
He was deliberately pretending to be young?
Disguising himself as a child, this was also a bit too youthful, wasn’t it?
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, two kindred demon beasts charged from the side, blocking the essential path like great mountains, opening their bloody maws to roar, transmitting waves of foul stench.
The child hurriedly braked, shaking his head: “Still got caught up to.”
The little fellow wore a red bellyband, his cheeks pink and tender, giving people an impulse they couldn’t resist to pinch his face.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The two demon beasts charged with great strides, blazing flames gathering in their mouths.
“What?” The child’s eyes lit up as he said: “Planning to light a fire to roast the egg for me?”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two fireballs shot out.
The little fellow nimbly dodged with agile body movements, then hugging the egg, leaped into the air and swiftly approached one demon beast. His little foot kicked out through empty air, visible energy exploded outward, instantly blasting into the big brain, and its entire body immediately fell like a mountain.
“Roar!”
The other demon beast opened its big mouth to spray rolling flames, and the surrounding trees were immediately ignited.
“Whoosh!”
The child burst out from the flames, landing smoothly and steadily in place, a mischievous smile appearing at the corners of his mouth: “With just this kind of flame, you think you can hurt this young master?”
“Boom boom boom!”
At this time, several demon beasts pursuing from behind charged over, standing before him like towering peaks.
The sunlight was blocked, and the scene became dark.
“…”
The child’s mouth twitched.
His strength was quite good in the Lower Realm, but the demon beasts’ strength was also formidable. Now surrounded on all sides, the situation was a bit tricky.
“Sigh.”
Setting down the egg, with a completely harmless expression, he said: “Can I return it to you now?”
Showing cowardice with cuteness.
Showing cowardice with attitude.
However, the several demon beasts definitely wouldn’t let things rest easily. They all raised their huge feet, gathering primitive power to viciously press down.
“Fine!”
The child’s eyes displayed a cold and severe look extremely incompatible with his age!
“Whoosh!”
Lower-level Sky-Breaking Realm cultivation fully unleashed, vital energy circulating through his dantian, vast spiritual energy instantly gathering in his tempered meridians. Stretching his voice, he shouted loudly: “Dad! Save me!”
“Whoosh—”
In an instant, a stream of light shot explosively from the distance, mercilessly penetrating the skulls of demon beasts one by one, and they fell to the ground with a thunderous crash like blooming flowers.
“Step.”
A seemingly honest and sincere middle-aged man floated down, scooped up the child, and gently reproached: “You rascal, you ran around everywhere again. If your mother finds out, Dad will definitely be punished when we get back!”
“Hehe.”
The little fellow stuck out his tongue, but inside he was utterly distressed, thinking: “Having to pretend to be an innocent little brat every day, I’m having such a hard time!”
That’s right.
This little imp with a child’s body and adult’s mind was none other than Gu Zhaoxi.
Counting from his reincarnation and birth, only two years had passed, yet he already possessed Lower-level Sky-Breaking Realm cultivation. His growth rate was truly terrifying!
“Son.”
Gu Tianxing said: “In a while, Father will teach you the martial way.”
“Great!”
Gu Zhaoxi’s eyes lit up.
Not even having entered the martial way yet possessing such cultivation—if Dog Sheng knew, he’d definitely cry himself unconscious in the toilet.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, roaring sounds transmitted from the firmament.
Flying demon beasts flapped their wings as they flew over, and the entire sky was rendered in brilliant colors.
“Dad!”
Gu Zhaoxi’s eyes widened: “Is this going to be a war?”
“No.”
The expression on Gu Tianxing’s face became serious as he said: “They are…” He paused, then smiled: “Coming to celebrate your birthday.”
“Ah?”
Only then did Gu Zhaoxi remember—today was his own birthday.
…
The Gu couple’s place of seclusion.
Various strange and peculiar demon beasts gathered all around, densely packed as far as the eye could see.
Mountain-Sea Realm.
As the name implied, derived from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
So the demon beasts inside occupied the dominant position, and even the Realm Master was an extremely rare crocodile beast.
Why had they gathered here?
That’s right.
To celebrate Gu Gouwwa’s birthday.
Jun Changxiao, still struggling hard in the Upper Realm, had no idea whatsoever that his sworn brother through life and death, at only two years old, had already become the most dazzling existence in Mountain-Sea Realm.
Comparing goods, you must discard them; comparing people, they must die.
“Son-in-law.”
Inside the room, Crocodile Realm Master placed various heavenly treasures and earthly materials on the table, smiling: “Father-in-law can only give you these gifts.”
“…”
Gu Zhaoxi’s mouth twitched.
Any one of these heavenly treasures and earthly materials was extremely precious, so why did it sound from his father-in-law’s mouth as if they were somehow inadequate?
“In-law.”
Gu Tianxing gathered everything into his storage, smiling: “Too kind of you.”
“As it should be, as it should be.”
Crocodile Realm Master smiled, his features appearing even more hideous.
Thinking that his dad looked like this, his daughter definitely couldn’t be much better—Gu Zhaoxi’s thought of fleeing the marriage grew even stronger!
“In-law.”
Gu Tianxing said: “When should we let them meet?”
“No day is better than today.”
Crocodile Realm Master said: “Let it be today.”
“Agreed!”
“So sleepy.”
Gu Zhaoxi rubbed his eyes and conveniently lay in his mother’s embrace, wailing inside: “Is it still too late for me to run now!”
“Creak!”
Crocodile Realm Master walked out from the thatched cottage.
Gu Tianxing was seeing him off and just about to cup his hands in speech when he hurriedly looked up at the firmament. There he saw visible ripples undulating, and space seemed to fold together.
“This…”
Crocodile Realm Master was shocked beyond measure.
Gu Mother, holding Gu Zhaoxi, walked out and looked at the firmament where the phenomenon appeared, saying gravely: “Gu Lang, what kind of power is this that can actually stir the deep space of Mountain-Sea Realm?”
“I don’t know.”
Gu Tianxing released his intent to probe the energy fluctuations.
“Weng!”
The moment of contact felt like being struck by lightning.
“Thump thump!”
Gu Tianxing explosively retreated several steps, shocked: “Unfathomably deep!”
Lying in his mother’s embrace, Gu Zhaoxi’s eyes widened.
Through two years of contact, in his mind, his father was absolutely powerful to an invincible degree. Now he was actually forced back by the fluctuations above—this was truly inconceivable!
Could it be…
There existed in this world someone even stronger than him?
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
Gradually, the space seemed to be directly torn apart by invisible giant hands during the folding process, forming a magnificent vortex with a cold and sharp gale blowing from within!
The Gu couple’s expressions became increasingly serious.
They couldn’t determine what exactly this power was, but being able to casually tear apart the deep space of Mountain-Sea Realm, it must be extremely terrifying!
“In-law.”
Crocodile Realm Master furrowed his brows, saying: “Is this some great power using supreme divine arts to open a time-space passage connecting to other planes in my Mountain-Sea Realm?”
“Let’s go.”
Gu Tianxing said: “Enter and investigate thoroughly!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The sudden appearance of the vortex greatly aroused their curiosity.
“I’m going too!” Gu Mother said.
Lying in her embrace, Gu Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: “This rift appeared too timely. Otherwise, my eyes would definitely have suffered damage.”
“Whoosh!”
The three of them traveled to the vortex.
Experiencing the gale blowing past their ears at close range, Gu Zhaoxi instantly felt a sense of familiarity rising, so he thought with shock in his heart: “Could the other end of this time-space passage possibly be the Upper Realm?”
