My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 859 - 859: Not a Match

Gu Lan still felt a trace of fear inside him.

Who is this person? He didn't sense anything at all.

He didn't notice any aura either.

Gu Lan's face darkened as his aura also began to emanate at this moment.

Just as he was carefully scanning his surroundings, a figure materialized inside the bamboo hut.

As his gaze focused, the surrounding spiritual energy converged, allowing him to clearly see the face of the figure.

It was a woman dressed in a white gown, her appearance delicate, and her beauty exceptional.

With just one glance, Gu Lan was entranced.

However, the expression on his face didn't last for long.

Soon, he suppressed the look of obsession in his eyes.

He cautiously stepped back and asked with a puzzled expression,

"Who are you?"

He could tell that this was just a projection, not the actual woman herself.

Upon hearing his question, the projection slowly became more solid.

The woman waved her long sleeves, releasing a faint fragrance.

"My name is Qing'er, and I am from the Ancient God Clan."

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

Upon hearing her inquiry, Gu Lan furrowed his brow.

He seemed to have heard of the name Qing'er before, but couldn't recall where from at the moment.

Without hesitation, he respectfully spoke to Qing'er,

"I'm here to find the Mind-Clearing Spring. Do you know where it is?"

"No wonder you're here. It's for that thing, isn't it?"

Qing'er muttered to herself, and Gu Lan seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Miss, do you know where it is? Could you take me there?"

At his request, Qing'er snapped out of her thoughts.

However, she did not agree immediately. Instead, she shook her head.

"It's something you cannot obtain."

Qing'er spoke these words calmly, leaving Gu Lan bewildered.

Having come this far, how could he possibly not obtain it?

"What do you mean, Miss?"

He still seemed unwilling to accept, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"The Mind-Clearing Spring is indeed in the Ancient God Battlefield, but it is guarded by Chaos."

"Your strength is no match for it, going there would be death!"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Gu Lan's face.

"If I don't try, I'll die anyway!"

He had already died once. Why would he fear death again now?

This was his only chance, and he had to seize it.

If he missed it, he would eventually disappear.

Although Blood Demon's aura was weak, it was only a matter of time before he recovered.

Gu Lan's expression hardened, and Qing'er, after a moment of hesitation, finally spoke.

"I can take you there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan's tense heart relaxed slightly.

He quickly bowed in respect.

"Thank you, Miss."

Now that he had found a glimmer of hope, Gu Lan didn't want to waste any time.

He just wanted to resolve the trouble as quickly as possible and didn't care about anything else.

Without a word, Qing'er waved her hand, and the space in front of them twisted.

Seeing her power, Gu Lan was shocked.

At first, he had thought Qing'er's strength was not remarkable.

Now he realized he had greatly underestimated her.

As he watched her pass through the vortex, he quickly followed.

Upon stepping in, a wave of dizziness struck him.

But it was brief, disappearing without a trace in moments.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself and Qing'er in a dim void.

In the distance stood a grand and massive formation, surrounded by a blood-colored aura.

Noticing the power radiating from the surroundings,

Gu Lan couldn't help but frown, his expression darkening.

"This aura is terrifying."

Gu Lan couldn't help but mutter, and Qing'er spoke indifferently beside him.

"I've told you before, this place is dangerous. You're no match for that being."

As she spoke, she pointed to the distance.

Within the dark miasma, flashes of blood light flickered.

Gu Lan faintly saw a massive figure.

"This is the Chaos that guards this place?"

He had to admit, the creature's aura was indeed terrifying.

It was much stronger than those outside.

Qing'er nodded indifferently, showing no interest in speaking further.

She didn't care what Gu Lan decided.

After all, she had said all she needed to say, and if he didn't want to leave, there was nothing she could do.

Under her watchful gaze, Gu Lan's aura began to flow out.

The aura of Chaos was indeed powerful, but Gu Lan was determined to test it.

If he didn't give it a try, how would he ever know the result?

"Thank you for the warning, but I still want to give it a try!"

Saying this, Gu Lan's speed increased dramatically, charging forward in a single step.

His aura didn't retract, and just as he was about to approach,

"Roar!"

A furious roar resonated through the heavens and earth, and the blood-red aura flared up from all directions.

This sound was not only terrifying but the power within it was overwhelming.

Gu Lan couldn't get close before being blasted back.

He managed to steady himself, only for a blood-red figure to step out from the chaotic miasma.

The creature was ferocious in appearance, with countless fangs in its mouth and a terrible killing intent in its eyes.

"So, this is Chaos?"

It seemed to be one of the creatures raised by the Ancient God Clan.

"Move aside, I don't want to fight you."

As Gu Lan spoke, his own aura fully erupted.

He had expected to push back the Chaos, but he didn't anticipate that the creature wouldn't even flinch.

"Roar…"

Another roar echoed as the spiritual energy Gu Lan emitted was immediately shattered.

Gu Lan was stunned. He never expected that his own power would be so easily crushed.

Without hesitation, he reached for the sky and summoned nearly ten thousand sword beams from the void.

A terrifying aura swept down, darkening the sky.

The sword beams flickered, lighting up the entire void.

"Powerful, huh? Then try this!"

Gu Lan roared as the ten thousand sword beams rained down.

The heavens trembled, and space itself cracked.

But to Gu Lan's surprise, Chaos stood there without moving a single step.

Just as the sword beams were about to land, Chaos opened its bloody mouth and inhaled sharply.

The surrounding spiritual energy, the sword beams, were all sucked into Chaos' mouth.

In just a few breaths, all the sword beams had vanished.

Gu Lan stood there, wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word.

"How… how could this happen?"

He stood there stunned for a long while before finally speaking.

Before he could gather his thoughts, Qing'er's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he can devour any kind of power."

At these words, Gu Lan was completely dumbfounded.

The ability to devour all power meant that all of his attacks would be useless.

At this moment, Chaos charged upward.

Although its body was enormous, its speed was startlingly fast.

Seeing this, Gu Lan didn't dare to hesitate and quickly retreated.
