Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"Crack!"

The light shield shattered instantly, and the Fourth Elder was forced back seven or eight steps by the recoil, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He stared at Gu Sheng in horror.

"You...you're Gu Sheng?! The one who killed three Grandmaster-level cultivators in the Netherworld Valley!"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"It's too late to know now."

"The Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron, appear!"

Gu Sheng roared, and the ancient bronze cauldron phantom behind him suddenly solidified, with nine dragon patterns seemingly coming to life, swimming and swirling on the cauldron's surface.

A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from the mouth of the cauldron, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

The Fourth Elder's face turned deathly pale instantly. He staggered back two steps, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is it possible that the power of this cauldron can be unleashed continuously?!"

Just now, he witnessed Gu Sheng use the illusory image of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron to kill three martial artists at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Logically speaking, such a heaven-defying magic weapon should have restrictions on its use, but this young man in front of me seems to have no scruples at all!
"Old man, are you scared now?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He formed a hand seal, and the phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron trembled once more, its mouth pointing towards the Fourth Elder.

Cold sweat beaded on the Fourth Elder's forehead; he could feel that most of his internal energy had been depleted.

Having just exchanged dozens of blows with Gu Sheng, I thought I could easily defeat this arrogant brat, but I didn't expect the other party to come up with so many tricks up his sleeve.

"You little beast, I will remember this grudge!"

The Fourth Elder gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled out a crystal-clear jade talisman from his robes, crushing it without hesitation.

"A teleportation talisman? Trying to escape?!"

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted, and he suddenly swung his right hand, drawing his long sword from its sheath and shooting it straight at the Fourth Elder as a streak of light.

At the same time, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and the air inside the cave suddenly distorted. Thirty-six swords, each wreathed in golden flames, materialized out of thin air and were arranged in the number of the Heavenly Dippers, heading towards the white light that enveloped the Fourth Elder.

"chichichi"

The space fluctuated violently, and most of the qi swords were blocked by the distorted spatial force, but seven golden flame qi swords still managed to penetrate the barrier and pierce into the white light.

"what!"

From within the white light came the Fourth Elder's heart-wrenching screams, his voice filled with boundless hatred.

"Gu Sheng! If I survive, I will make you wish you were dead! I will wipe out your entire family!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

"An old dog barks at the sun."

He ignored the fading white light and turned to run wildly into the depths of the cave.

Only then did the onlookers realize what was happening.

"Stop him! Zixia Cave Heaven is a forbidden area of ​​the Divine Sect; anyone who trespasses will be executed!"

"Has this kid gone mad? He dared to trespass into the forbidden area after offending the Fourth Elder!"

"Everyone, attack together! We can't let him in!"

Dozens of martial artists at the Heavenly Martial Realm made their moves, their various true qi lights weaving into a net within the cave, enveloping Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng didn't turn his head. His internal energy erupted like a volcano, and eighteen major acupoints on his body lit up with brilliant light at the same time. Those were the eighteen grotto-heavens he had cultivated for many years!
"The Three Transformations of Nirvana, the First Transformation!"

He let out a low shout, and his body suddenly accelerated, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and the phantom of the Nine Dragons Qiankun Cauldron reappeared behind him. However, this time he did not launch an attack, but instead let down streams of Xuanhuang Qi to protect his whole body.

"Northern Star Immortal-Slaying Sword, rise!"

With Gu Sheng's command, the true energy gushing from the eighteen caves flowed wildly through his meridians, eventually bursting forth from his fingertips and transforming into hundreds of golden flame swords that swirled and danced in the cave, forming a small sword array.

"what!"

A warrior charging at the forefront was pierced through the chest by a golden flame sword. He could only let out half a scream before his entire body turned to ashes in the golden flames, and even his soul could not escape.

This scene horrified the pursuers, who all stopped in their tracks.

"What kind of evil magic is this?!"

"How could someone at the Heavenly Martial Realm possess such abilities?!"

Gu Sheng seized the opportunity to create distance and sped towards the depths of the cave without looking back.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the rock walls on both sides rushed past him. He could feel the spiritual energy coming from the front becoming more and more concentrated.

"Is the Purple Cloud Grotto finally here?"

About fifteen minutes later, Gu Sheng suddenly saw the light.

A massive stone chamber, hundreds of feet in diameter, appeared before them. The floor was covered with intricate array patterns, and in the center was a teleportation array constructed entirely of purple crystals, emanating a chilling spatial fluctuation.

"Is this the teleportation array leading to Zixia Cave Heaven?"

Gu Sheng cautiously stopped and scanned his surroundings.

The stone chamber was empty, but there were many fresh bloodstains on the ground, indicating that a battle had taken place here not long ago.

The thirty-six crystal pillars surrounding the teleportation array were inlaid with top-grade spirit stones and were emitting a faint light, as if they had just been used.

After a moment's thought, Gu Sheng understood the reason.

"It seems that Miao Muqing entered Zixia Cave Heaven from here. The pursuers must have followed her in as well."

Without further hesitation, he strode toward the teleportation array.

The moment he stepped into the array, the patterns on the teleportation array suddenly lit up faintly, as if waiting for something.

Does it need to be activated?

With a thought, Gu Sheng gathered a wisp of pure true energy at his fingertips and gently touched the center of the array.

"buzz"

The entire teleportation array trembled violently, and all thirty-six crystal pillars simultaneously emitted a dazzling purple light.

Gu Sheng felt a blur before his eyes, his body was enveloped by an invisible force, and the surrounding space began to distort.

"The teleportation is about to begin."

Gu Sheng is prepared for any situation.

Just as the white light was about to completely envelop him, Gu Sheng vaguely heard noisy shouts of battle coming from outside the cave, as if a large number of people were rushing over.

"It seems the cult's reinforcements have arrived."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a blinding white light completely overwhelmed his vision.

Deep within the Purple Cloud Cave, in a dense forest shrouded in purple mist.

"Little White, hang in there a little longer! The Purple Cloud Divine Pool is just ahead!"

Miao Muqing's face was as pale as paper, and there was still blood on the corner of her mouth.

She rode on the back of a bull-horned monster that was three zhang tall. The monster was pure white, except for the two curved horns on its head, which were a strange purplish-black color.

The monster was covered in wounds, the most serious being on its abdomen, where a wound over a foot long was constantly oozing purplish-black blood. Yet it still ran with all its might, each leap covering a distance of dozens of feet.

Behind them, dozens of figures pursued closely, each radiating a powerful aura. They were all experts at the Grandmaster level!
"Miao Muqing, you can't escape! Hand over the Purple Cloud Divine Crystal, and I'll spare your life!"

The leader, an old man in black robes, shouted sternly, his voice containing a power that could shake one's very soul.

Miao Muqing didn't turn around, but gently patted the monster's neck.

"Xiaobai, faster!"

Just then, she suddenly swayed, and her eyes momentarily glazed over.

When she focused her gaze again, a childlike innocence suddenly appeared in her previously calm and wise eyes. "Where...where am I?"

Miao Muqing looked around blankly, and when she saw the dozens of powerful experts at the Sect Realm chasing after her, her face turned deathly pale.

"Ah! Why is my sister asleep at this time?!"

As the white light before Gu Sheng's eyes gradually dissipated and his vision returned to clear, he found himself in a garden that resembled a fairyland.

The spiritual energy in the manor was so rich that it almost materialized, condensing into clouds and mist that drifted with the wind. Every breath felt like absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

Gu Sheng was secretly alarmed and subconsciously...

He inhaled a large amount of spiritual energy and mist, which quickly transformed into pure true energy and merged into his meridians, instantly replenishing most of the energy he had consumed during his previous attack.

The amount of spiritual energy in this cloud is at least equivalent to the total of dozens of ordinary spirit stones!

However, before Gu Sheng could continue absorbing this rare spiritual energy, a sudden change occurred.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Brilliant rays of light pierced through the clouds, like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens, enveloping him with a sharp killing intent.

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank sharply, and his mental power instantly spread out, revealing dozens of powerful auras within his perception range!
"ambush!"

Alarm bells rang in Gu Sheng's mind, and he retreated like a ghost, while his mental energy quickly locked onto the figures hidden in the spiritual mist.

Sixteen peak Heavenly Martial Realm experts! Dozens of ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm experts! Even more terrifying, there were several faint auras, clearly indicating that powerful experts at the Sect Realm were secretly providing support!

"boom!"

The ground where Gu Shengyuan was standing was instantly blasted into dust by dozens of streams of true energy, with fragments flying everywhere, and even the surrounding spiritual energy clouds were dispersed by the shockwave of the explosion.

The once idyllic manor was transformed into a murderous battlefield in the blink of an eye.

"kill"

Amidst the clouds and mist, shouts of battle shook the heavens as dozens of figures surged forth from all directions, unleashing their true energy to form a net that completely blocked all of Gu Sheng's escape routes.

"The Purple Cloud Cult has quite the grand scheme!"

Gu Sheng's eyes were icy cold. His eighteen inner heavens opened instantly, and a large amount of spiritual energy condensed into a protective aura around his body, forming a solid defense.

At the same time, he kept moving and continued to retreat rapidly backward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions continued incessantly, and wherever Gu Sheng passed, huge craters were blasted into the ground.

He already understood. The patriarch of the Zixia Divine Sect had long anticipated that he would break into the Zixia Cave Heaven, and had deliberately set up a trap here!
"Whoever kills Gu Sheng will be rewarded with one million high-grade spirit stones!"

"Anyone who plots against the Purple Cloud Cult shall be killed without mercy!"

A fierce shout came from the crowd, and the Heavenly Martial Realm warriors' eyes were filled with greed and killing intent as their attacks became increasingly fierce.

Gu Sheng frowned; simply fleeing like this was definitely not a good strategy.

He secretly assessed his internal condition. His body could withstand the blessing of the source power three more times. If he could find the right moment to unleash the Beichen Zhuxian Sword, he might be able to intimidate his enemies.

However, these Heavenly Martial Realm warriors were clearly well-trained, maintaining just the right distance from each other, forming an encirclement without giving Gu Sheng a chance to launch a counterattack.

What's even more troublesome is that they can fly, moving at speeds far exceeding Gu Sheng's ground movement.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

More than ten streaks of light suddenly accelerated, instantly surpassing Gu Sheng and spreading out in a fan shape, completely blocking his retreat route.

"Gu Sheng, you have nowhere to run!"

A middle-aged man dressed in purple robes stood in mid-air, his face cold and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

With a wave of his sleeve, the other warriors immediately stopped their attack, but still maintained a tight encirclement.

Gu Sheng stopped and looked around, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"The Purple Cloud Divine Sect has actually mobilized such a force to deal with a mere Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator like me. They really think highly of me."

"Cut the nonsense!"

The middle-aged man in purple shouted sternly.

"You colluded with the Holy Maiden of the Southern Emperor to murder my Purple Cloud Divine Sect warriors. Your crimes are unforgivable! Today is your death day!"

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

"Then why haven't you made a move? Are you perhaps afraid of me, a mere 'Heavenly Martial Realm expert'?"

The middle-aged man in purple stiffened for a moment, then laughed in extreme anger.

"You sharp-tongued brat! You think you can buy time and wait for reinforcements? The Southern Emperor's Holy Maiden is in dire straits herself; no one can save you!"

Gu Sheng felt a slight stirring in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he laughed heartily.

"When have I, Gu Sheng, ever needed anyone's help? It is your Zixia Divine Sect, a dignified sect, that resorts to such despicable means as ganging up on a junior like me. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"you!"

The middle-aged man in purple was momentarily speechless, but quickly regained his composure and sneered.

"No matter how eloquent you are, you will not escape death today! Everyone, listen to my command, seize this beast!"

More than a dozen Heavenly Martial Realm experts responded in unison, creating an astonishing atmosphere. However, strangely, although they surrounded Gu Sheng, none of them were willing to be the first to step forward.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng's sneer intensified.

"What? Are all the people in the Purple Cloud Cult good at nothing but empty talk?"

"How dare you! Seize this little beast!"

The middle-aged man in purple was furious. With a wave of his sleeve, more than ten experts at the Heavenly Martial Realm, though looking troubled, had no choice but to approach Gu Sheng.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and the eighteen grotto-heavens within his body trembled simultaneously, with boundless spiritual energy surging like a river.

"The Northern Star Immortal-Slaying Sword!"

He let out a low shout, and golden flames suddenly ignited around him. The flames twisted and deformed, transforming into countless three-inch-long sharp swords. The swords were wrapped in blazing firelight, and even the surrounding spiritual energy and mist were evaporated.

"careful!"

A powerful expert at the Heavenly Martial Realm exclaimed in alarm, but it was too late.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Sheng unleashed hundreds of divine flame swords like a torrential rain, accurately striking every approaching enemy.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was scorched and distorted.

"what!"

Screams rang out one after another. Three early-stage Heavenly Martial Realm warriors were unable to dodge in time and were pierced through the shoulders by the Qi sword. Before the blood could flow out, it was burned into a charred black by the high temperature.

"Little bastard!"

The middle-aged man in purple was furious, and the terrifying pressure of the sixth level of the Sect Realm crushed down on Gu Sheng like a mountain.

He flipped his hands, and two jet-black longswords appeared in his palms, their blades wrapped with strange purple patterns.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and a faint light flashed from the storage ring on his right index finger, revealing a crystal-clear jade talisman in his palm.

"Old dog, today's grudge will be avenged one day!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly crushed the jade talisman.

A teleportation talisman?!

The middle-aged man in purple suddenly contracted his pupils.

"Don't think about it!"

The two swords slashed out in a cross pattern, two crescent-shaped blade beams tearing through the air and heading straight for Gu Sheng.

"change!"

Gu Sheng pointed his sword, and the Divine Flame Qi Sword, which had been aimed at the Heavenly Martial Realm warrior, suddenly changed direction. Hundreds of flying swords formed a sword net, meeting the two terrifying blade beams head-on. (End of Chapter)
