Ten Tailed Fox

"How could I bear to leave you behind, my king? You should die with us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Gu Ye Tuo's body was filled with frenzied immortal power, swelling up like a ball that could explode at any moment.

"Trying to self-destruct?" Hua Man's lips curled into a cruel smile, her eyes fixed on an ant trying to kill an elephant. "You're not even a Celestial King, what makes you think you can take me down with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a purple demonic lotus materialized in Hua Man's palm, emanating an eerie aura. It crashed down with a terrifying force that suppressed all the heavens.

A sickening crack came from Yanguye Tuo's knees; his bones groaned and his muscles tore.

But he held back. His blood and qi were surging wildly in reverse, and a black sun seemed to be rapidly expanding in his dantian. It was his last resort, burning all his life essence, preparing to take Hua Man with him to death.

"Die!" Yanguye Tuo roared, his voice hoarse like a broken gong.

"It's no use. A mad dog like you in this predicament, let alone killing me, you'd have a hard time even trying to bite off a piece of my flesh." Hua Man pressed down suddenly, and the power of the purple demonic lotus surged, almost crushing Yan Gu Ye Tuo into dust.

"Oh no, the flow of immortal energy has stopped!" Yan Gu Ye Tuo gritted his teeth, but he was devastated to find that the immortal energy in his body could no longer circulate. If this continued, he would not even be able to self-destruct.

"Then add me to the list!"

At this critical moment, an extremely shrill cry pierced through the suffocating pressure.

Jin Yu, who was originally on the verge of death, suddenly exploded into a dazzling golden light from his broken body.

This Asura guardian beast, which had once followed the great-grandfather of Yanguye Tuo, made a choice that went against the instincts of the demon race at this moment.

Instead of using its remaining strength to escape or to ambush Flower Garland, it transformed the last of its original essence blood into a golden torrent, which slammed into Yangu Yetuo's back.

“This is…” Yanguye Tuo’s pupils contracted sharply.

There was no impact as he had imagined. Instead, the vast and boundless demonic power, like rain after a long drought, frantically penetrated his already parched and broken meridians.

"Roar!"

Jin Yu's body quickly withered, and its eyes, which had been rekindled with flames, gradually dimmed. But in its last moment, it looked deeply at Yan Gu Ye Tuo, its eyes filled with no regret, only an expectation that transcended time and space.

It seemed as if it were looking through Yanguye Tuo at its former, once powerful master.

"The rest is up to you."

"what!!!"

Yanguye Tuo looked up to the sky and roared. This sound was no longer a human scream, but more like the roar of a demon god from the depths of hell.

The aura that was originally violent and chaotic due to the preparation for self-destruction underwent a strange qualitative change under the infusion of Jin Yu's pure primordial blood essence.

The ascetic practices he cultivated were meant to use his body as a boat to cross the endless sea of ​​suffering, to feed on pain, and to forge an indestructible battle body.

At this moment, Jin Yu's sacrifice brought not only power, but also unimaginable pain.

The feeling was like having all the bones in your body smashed and reassembled, having every inch of flesh crushed on a millstone, and then being cast with molten iron.

Pain! Pain that cuts to the bone! Pain that pierces the heart!
But this extreme pain is precisely the best nourishment for breakthroughs through asceticism!
Click!Click!
It was as if a sound of some kind of shackle breaking came from within Yanguye Tuo's body.

That bottleneck that had bound him for countless years was shattered under the impact of the Immortal King's essence blood and extreme pain.

The Ascetic Scripture, sixth level, breakthrough! A burst of dark golden light suddenly erupted from Yan Gu Ye Tuo's body, actually forcing Hua Man's boundless purple aura back three zhang!
Dark golden lines appeared on his skin, like ancient totems, exuding a chilling, primal aura.

The previously shriveled muscles instantly filled out, and every blood vessel bulged out like a writhing dragon, flowing no longer with blood, but with boiling magma.

"Did your physical body also reach the level of Forging King while breaking through to Immortal King?" Yan Gu Ye Tuo felt the new power within his body, his eyes shining like two blazing suns.

"What?!" Hua Man's previously contemptuous expression froze instantly, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes, which then turned into deep gloom and jealousy. "This beast actually willingly gave you the purest primordial blood essence."

What he found even more unacceptable was that Yanguye Tuo, whom he regarded as an ant, actually broke through the barrier right under his nose.

"Flower Garland".

Yanguye Tuo slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and his tone was chilling.

"How do you want to die?"

Hua Man shivered inexplicably, but as a Celestial King, his shame and anger instantly overwhelmed his astonishment: "How arrogant! So what if you've broken through? You've only just entered the Celestial King realm, your cultivation is unstable, do you really think you can turn the tables?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Man formed a hand seal, and the huge purple demonic lotus suddenly spun, transforming into countless sharp petal blades, carrying endless killing intent, and hurtling towards Yan Gu Ye Tuo like a storm.

Each petal is enough to cut through the void.

Faced with this overwhelming barrage of attacks, Yanguye Tuo neither dodged nor used any defensive supernatural powers.

He simply and slowly adopted an extremely strange starting stance.

He still remembered the trick that crazy gambler taught him in the dimly lit casino.

That person once said that everything in this world is a gamble, and to win the biggest bet, you have to be willing to stake everything.

This move leaves no room for retreat and no room for compromise.

"Put my life on the line!" Yan Gu Ye Tuo roared inwardly. The immense immortal power he had just gained from breaking through to the sixth level of the Ascetic Scripture, along with all his remaining lifespan and even his soul, was completely drained in that instant, all of it converging on his right fist covered with dark gold patterns.

The world seemed to stand still at that moment.

All sound disappeared, and even the path of air movement became clearly visible.

Just as the countless purple petals were about to touch his body, Yan Gu Ye Tuo threw a punch.

This punch had no fancy lighting or effects; it was simply a pure, extreme form of power.

The void was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of that punch, and a black hole was blasted out of it.

"All things return to emptiness."

The roof of the main hall of Tianku City was instantly blown off, and terrifying energy waves spread in all directions, shattering the clouds and causing a terrifying mushroom cloud to rise.

The countless purple lotus petals that danced in the air vanished the moment they came into contact with the intent of those punches, like ice and snow melting away, leaving not even a trace.

The terror in Hua Man's eyes finally turned into despair. He felt as if he were facing not a person, but a ferocious beast that had burst forth from the ancient wilderness, with its gaping maw from which he could not escape. (End of Chapter)
