Chapter 958: Chapter 503: Refining the Void The attack came on like a missile bombardment! Surprisingly, no matter how hard they tried, the Qi Gate remained indestructible. It turned out that each attack merely stirred ripples of spiritual energy above the Qi Gate, then vanished without a trace. At the same time, a layer of dark green ripples surfaced over the Qi Gate, persisting until all attack power dissipated. "How can this be?" Er Gou panted, his eyes full of reluctance. "How should I know? Could this Qi Gate really be indestructible?" Shi Lou also looked bewildered. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 Er Gou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "It seems this Qi Gate isn’t as simple as we thought. There’s probably some powerful restriction protecting it, otherwise, how could we fail to make even the slightest dent?" "Seems likely! Let’s go back to Brother Sheng." Shi Lou nodded, and the two flew back to Gu Sheng’s side. "Brother Sheng... this... this is just too absurd! We have given our all and haven’t damaged it in the slightest." Shi Lou and Er Gou said, looking dejected. Gu Sheng had been observing quietly, nodding lightly. He knew Shi Lou and Er Gou had already exerted their full strength, but the Qi Gate was the core of the spirit vein and couldn’t be left unguarded. "Whew..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and then spoke slowly, "You both step back; let me try." Er Gou and Shi Lou immediately retreated aside upon hearing this. Gu Sheng stepped forward, his expression turning extremely grave. He knew this might be their only chance. If they couldn’t destroy the Qi Gate, all their prior efforts would be in vain. "Swish!" Gu Sheng suddenly extended his palm, gathering a Divine Power Ball in his hand. His divine power differed from Er Gou and Shi Lou’s, containing a kind of flickering fluctuation. This fluctuation was unusually close to the dark green resonance frequency emitted when the spirit vein was attacked. "Ha!" Gu Sheng shouted loudly. His palm pressed sharply toward the Qi Gate. The moment Gu Sheng’s divine power contacted the Qi Gate, that special fluctuation began to resonate with the spiritual energy of the Qi Gate. "Boom!" A low rumble echoed from deep within the Qi Gate. The entire spirit vein started shaking. "Crash!" Some stalactites fell from above, and the group quickly dodged. When the tremors ceased, the three looked at the spirit vein Qi Gate. They only saw several stones shattered, but there wasn’t a single sign of damage on the spirit vein itself. "This... this is just too much, right? Even Brother Sheng’s power doesn’t work?" "Exactly, with such power, it should be more than enough to break a massive mountain, yet this spirit vein..." Shi Lou and Er Gou were puzzled. Gu Sheng stood there, pondering how to break the stalemate. "Let me try again!" Er Gou said as he was about to step forward. Gu Sheng quickly stopped him, "Er Gou, don’t bother, it’s useless." "Brother Sheng, are we just going to give up?" Er Gou was a bit unwilling. "No!" Gu Sheng shook his head, "This spirit vein Qi Gate surely has other protective restrictions. If we can’t find the direction of the restriction, we’ll exhaust ourselves to death without causing any damage. If we act blindly, we’ll only draw the attention of the Qingxia Sect, and then, we’ll have no way out!" "Uh... this..." Er Gou and Shi Lou exchanged glances; at this moment, they felt utterly useless, like complete failures. "What should we do then?" Shi Lou stepped forward and asked. "Wait a bit, maybe a turning point is right in front of us." Gu Sheng sighed slightly, then flew up to observe above the Qi Gate. As Gu Sheng was observing, Er Gou and Shi Lou suddenly felt as if a pair of eerie green eyes were watching them. "Er Gou, why do I feel a chill down my back?" "You don’t say, I feel it too." The two whispered to each other. Then, they simultaneously glanced around. As soon as they looked, they were startled. About ten meters away, a pair of green eyes tinged with red were staring at them intently, as if they wanted to swallow them alive. "Not good! A monster!" Er Gou shouted. At the same time, the monster with the eerie green eyes lunged toward them. "Swish!" In an instant, the creature was upon them. Er Gou unleashed his divine power, throwing a punch. "Boom!" The punch was completely absorbed by the monster, showing no signs of attack. "Er Gou! Look out!" Shi Lou shouted and also threw a punch. "Boom!" The punch was the same as Er Gou’s. After all, the two were merely divine ability developers, not seasoned cultivators. Their power was limited and had no techniques. "This must be a mutated Goblin!" Er Gou shouted. Meanwhile, he yelled at Gu Sheng, who was hovering a few hundred meters away, "Brother Sheng! Come and help! Brother Sheng!" Upon hearing Er Gou’s call, Gu Sheng saw them being chased and attacked. "Here I come!" Gu Sheng couldn’t care less, flew down immediately, arriving by their side in an instant. "Huff huff huff..." Er Gou and Gu Sheng were panting, feeling somewhat exhausted. Gu Sheng felt a sudden shock in his heart; he had never sensed such an energy fluctuation in any person or demon beast before. Could there be some special connection between this Goblin and him? Gu Sheng quickly adjusted his breathing, concentrating to confront the mutated Goblin. "Shi Lou, Er Gou, step back, I want to test this Goblin’s abilities." Gu Sheng said in a deep voice. "Be careful!" Shi Lou and Er Gou exchanged a look, then retreated to the side, ready to support at any moment.
