Out of all of Lou Wanying’s companions, Bai Qiaozhen was probably the one who had the clearest grasp of the situation.

She didn’t know the inside story between Gu Nan and Clockwork Heaven, but she did know about Gu Nan and Luo Ze’s identities.

While the Thirteen Heavens were certainly mysterious, that only applied to the aloof and untouchable Star Rulers of the Thirteen Heavens. The other people in the Thirteen Heavens were still mere mortals.

She knew Luo Ze wasn’t a simple figure. He used such a roundabout way to approach Lou Wanying by having her act as an intermediary—Luo Ze’s motive definitely wasn’t as simple as merely wanting to be Lou Wanying’s friend.

And that Gu Nan was said to be the reincarnation of a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon who was incomparably strong. Some people were even calling him the strongest person under Star Ruler Realm. It’s just that nobody knew when he’d be able to take that final step into Star Ruler Realm.

She could tell from a glance that these two weren’t on friendly terms, although she didn’t know what caused their conflict. But this was none of her business; Bai Qiaozhen only wanted to take this opportunity to see both sides’ trump cards.

Luo Ze had already shown his cards right now—not even Bai Qiaozhen expected that he was actually cultivating Glazed Jade Bones!

Glazed Jade Bones was a body refining technique from ancient times. There were many such secret techniques in the Thirteen Heavens, but very few people actually cultivated them for real.

Ancient techniques weren’t necessarily stronger than modern techniques, and they also had various flaws.

For example, this "Glazed Jade Bones" was indeed a top-tier body refining technique in terms of strength, but very few people were willing to cultivate it because it was extremely difficult to cultivate.

The difficulty wasn’t because it needed a lot of precious resources or innate talent, but rather, the need for “ruthlessness.”

To cultivate "Glazed Jade Bones," one must scrape off their own flesh and directly soak their bones in a special medicinal liquid and cultivate for a full 81 days!

In these 81 days, the cultivator must constantly scrape new flesh off of their bones to prevent any new skin or flesh from growing.

And for a living person, it was impossible to scrape off all of their flesh at once, so a person could only cultivate one part of their bones at a time… How many people could persevere in the face of such pain?

But the cultivator would naturally gain incomparable power in exchange for such pain.

It was said that after cultivating the Glazed Jade Bones to major attainment, the cultivator’s bones would be able to resist weapons of the same realm, becoming impervious to sword or spear in the truest sense.

From the moment Bai Qiaozhen saw the Glazed Jade Bones, her gaze toward Luo Ze had changed a bit, looking at him with some respect.

‘Since it’s the Glazed Jade Bones, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for this Gu Nan to kill Luo Ze—’

Crack!

Gu Nan kicked Luo Ze's leg, instantly fracturing the bones that were still glowing jade-white just seconds ago, while Gu Nan himself finally turned his head to look at Bai Qiaozhen. "What kind of bones did you say this was?"

This little girl seemed to mutter something earlier, but he didn’t catch everything she said.

Bai Qiaozhen, on the other hand, was gaping in shock, too stunned to answer him.

Unbearable pain traveled up from his leg, but Luo Ze actually felt more pain in his heart.

‘Glazed Jade Bones… was actually shattered in one kick? Then what was the point of me silently enduring this pain for all these years?’

For a while, Luo Ze was actually a little lost despondent.

But Gu Nan didn’t care about his thoughts and threw another punch that hit Luo Ze's chest, forcibly breaking several of his ribs. The glow from the Glazed Jade Bones dimmed even further.

Glazed Jade Bones could only withstand attacks from weapons of the same realm, while Gu Nan's Evil God physique was able to twist weapons of the same realm into pretzels.

"Mr. Gu Nan!" A loud shout came from behind Gu Nan; Lou Wanying had finally spoken up.

He raised his own golden sword and said sternly, "Mr. Gu Nan, this is the last time I’m calling you that. You hit Luo Ze for no reason—"

Wham!

Gu Nan's fist came in contact with his face, and Lou Wanying instantly flew out backwards, the golden sword falling to the side.

After blasting away Lou Wanying with a punch, Gu Nan went back to Luo Ze's side again, planning to break his spine.

From beginning to end, Gu Nan's goal had always been to disrupt Lu Wen's plans by killing Luo Ze. As for Lou Wanying, the one Lu Wen designated as this generation’s main character, Gu Nan didn’t take him seriously at all.

Even main characters still had to follow the basic rules.

A soft sigh rang out above the endless sky.

Surrounded by the mysterious law of time, Lu Wen was still keeping his attention on the God of Time Valen, but Lou Wanying's unexpected injury caused him to sense something.

Lu Wen diverted a sliver of his attention to Lou Wanying’s group and instantly understood what just transpired in Tiluo World. He told the giant dragon on his shoulder, "Go help him."

The giant silver dragon was still standing on his shoulder. Her huge body swayed gently as she asked in confusion, "Didn't he say he would rob the item only after they win it? Humans are all liars."

Lu Wen revealed a helpless smile. "He did say he would rob it afterwards, but he never said he wouldn’t kill people beforehand."

The silver dragon fell silent for a while. Finally, she wordlessly spread her pair of silver wings, instantly cutting through space and falling into the mortal world.

In Tiluo World, Gu Nan held the half-dead Luo Ze with one hand while his other one methodically broke all the bones in Luo Ze’s body.

At the very least, this Luo Ze was still a peak Void Cutter expert, so just breaking his spine wasn’t enough to put him out of commission.

Lou Wanying and his senior martial sister were both heavily injured from Gu Nan’’s beatings. Only Bai Qiaozhen was still on the side, unharmed.

So, taking advantage of the time where Lou Wanying was unconscious, a silver color descended from the nine heavens above. The energy from an indescribable law enveloped Gu Nan’s body.

Gu Nan’s expression changed slightly, and his figure had already disappeared in that instant. Immediately after he left, his original location was sliced in half; the entire space directly broke apart.

The Luo Ze that Gu Nan tried to kill for half a day but still couldn’t deal with was actually sliced apart.

This silver dragon was clearly a natural-born god who was born with Star Ruler Realm power. All she lacked was higher realms.

The silver dragon's huge body circled around in midair for a while and finally came to a slow stop in the air. She actually stood upright like a person, staring at Gu Nan quietly.

"Sure enough, humans don’t keep their word," her voice was very cold and clear, yet it also contained a natural nobility that made people involuntarily feel ashamed of themselves.

Gu Nan didn't even have the desire to respond to her. He turned around and was about to open a passage to leave—he had come to kill Luo Ze, and his goal had already been achieved.

But at that moment, he found that the space in front of him suddenly became incomparably tough, making it very hard to open a passage in space. The sense of danger in his heart reappeared.

So Gu Nan's figure disappeared once again, and the space he was originally at also split open immediately afterwards.

The silver dragon just floated coldly in midair, yet her power of space was able to follow Gu Nan like a shadow, keeping him busy.

"The power of space is practically invincible against opponents of the same realm, not to mention Gu Nan is still one step short of Star Ruler Realm." Bai Qiaozhen could see the situation clearly from the side and couldn't help sighing.

Of course she could tell that this huge dragon was none other than that one's beloved pet and one of the legendary dragons of creation, the Dragon of Space!

But what she didn't expect was that Gu Nan suddenly turned at the next second and dashed towards the ground, picking up a figure in the blink of an eye—Lou Wanying!

He raised the unconscious Lou Wanying in front of him like a shield. Thus, the rupturing space that was following him came to a stop in this instant.

The silver dragon in the air was silent for a while but quickly spoke again, "It's useless. You can't escape from this space, and using him as a shield will only delay the inevitable for a little longer."

Along with her words, the cracked space quickly changed directions, bypassing Lou Wanying and directly pouncing on Gu Nan.

But Gu Nan moved even faster. He gripped Lou Wanying with one hand as his figure rushed forward. In one-thirtieth of the time it took to blink, he’d already appeared in front of the giant silver dragon.

The giant dragon's eyes suddenly widened and her originally upright body bent abruptly—Gu Nan's unforgiving fist had smashed into her soft belly!

"Who said I’m going to escape?"

Gu Nan sneered, swinging Lou Wanying around like a stick to prevent the space fractures from approaching him while simultaneously throwing a kick at the silver dragon.
