Chapter 407: 407 Accident

The sword stroke that Gu Yang executed was the second move of Zhanxuan Swordsmanship—Godslayer.

His idea was simple. By killing the old man who summoned this ghastly entity, he might be able to resolve the current crisis.

He has encountered numerous perilous enemies and faced countless desperate situations. His strength was cultivated step by step with the simulator, which enabled him to conquer all enemies under his sword.

However, for the first time, he faced an adversary in reality that he had no way to defeat.

The power contained in the dean’s sword stroke was not inferior to his own. However, it did not harm the shadow creature in the slightest.

If he were to counter, the outcome would likely be the same.

He had never previously felt this sense of impotence of being unable to harm his opponent.

It was exactly this brutal crisis that unleashed a before-unseen strength in him, culminating in the most powerful sword stroke he had ever delivered.

The sword intent traversed thousands of miles to arrive above the Great Shaman’s head.

Swoosh!

The sword intent passed through his body.

“You can’t be serious?”

But Gu Yang felt as if his sword had hit nothing but air, providing no sensation of striking a physical form.

He immediately realized the reason. The Great Shaman, having integrated with the eerie spiritual treasure, had become an almost ethereal entity, much like the giant shadow.

What a miscalculation!

Just as this thought came to him, the black chain had already reached his head.

Yet he remained perfectly calm. Since he did not die in the simulation of this battle, it meant that he would not die here either.

Gu Yang had absolute faith in the life simulator.

It was only when the black chain fell upon his head, and the anticipated rescue had still not arrived, that his heart skipped a beat.

But he was unable to do anything at this moment.

Was he really going to die here?

As this thought flitted through Gu Yang’s mind, the black chain passed through his body as if it had no physical form.

Huh?

Why was he unharmed?

He didn’t feel any abnormalities, and his Original Spirit was intact, having sustained no damage at all.

In such a way, the attacks of both sides ended up being futile.

…

When the sword intent had slashed towards him, the Great Shaman almost thought his life was over and broke out in a cold sweat.

The man’s sword technique was ruthless. Getting hit was certain death. It was extremely perilous.

Luckily, that sword stroke had passed right through him.

He felt an immense relief, as if he had walked a full circle around the gates of hell.

The next moment, he saw the Soul-hooking messenger’s iron chain fall upon Gu Yang’s body and also pass right through it.

“He didn’t die from that?”

The Great Shaman was horrified.

This Book of Life and Death, which he obtained while still in the Mortal Realm, was the very treasure that allowed him to eliminate an enemy blocking his path.

Every time he used this treasure, he was extremely cautious, never revealing it. Not even his closest confidantes knew about this Abnormal Treasure.

Thus, without an exceptional talent, he gradually reached the summit, accomplishing a feat that countless generations on the plains couldn’t achieve. He entered the realm of Celestial Beings and became the god of the entire plains.

Yet now, the formerly unstoppable Soul-hooking messenger failed to work on Gu Yang.

How could this be?

Even his greatest card could not kill that youngster, causing momentary chaos in his mind.

“Kill him quickly!”

The Great Shaman anxiously urged the Book of Life and Death, commanding the Soul-hooking messenger to continue the attack.

As he continued to infuse it with his Immortal Element, the name “Gu Yang” in the air grew brighter and brighter, until it suddenly burst like a bubble.

“What–”

This unexpected development caught him by surprise. He had not faced such a situation before.

All of a sudden, the Great Shaman felt a chill on his back. Lifting his head, he saw the Soul-hooking messenger turn its gaze towards him.

A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, sending chills down his spine.

“No–”
