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

"Northern Star Elixir Divine Technique, activate!"

Gu Sheng formed hand seals, sending profound magical handprints into the alchemy furnace.

A ghostly blue flame suddenly ignited inside the furnace, yet strangely, not a single drop of heat leaked out.

"go with!"

The Grade 8 Golden Body Pill was thrown into the furnace and slowly rotated under the blue flames.

Gu Sheng focused intently, channeling his spiritual energy into fine threads to carefully guide the medicinal properties of the elixir.

"Congeal!"

With a soft shout, the outer shell of the pill gradually melted, revealing a ball of golden liquid inside.

The liquid writhed in the flames like a living thing, emanating a chilling energy fluctuation.

"As expected of an eighth-grade elixir."

Gu Sheng's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

"With such potent medicinal properties, it's no wonder it can help people break through to the Golden Body Realm."

He dared not be careless and continued to control the temperature of the flames until the golden liquid was refined to its maximum.

"Next up is Liuli Xin."

The crystal-clear glass heart was thrown into the furnace, where it was placed at one end, separated from the golden liquid.

Gu Sheng changed his incantation, and the flames inside the furnace instantly split into two colors: one dark blue and the other crimson.

"melt!"

The glass heart gradually softened under the scorching red flames, eventually turning into a transparent, gelatinous substance.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Seizing the moment when both medicinal properties reached their peak, he suddenly changed his technique.

"combine!"

The two medicinal substances collided violently in the furnace, bursting out with a dazzling light.

Gu Sheng groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and persisted in maintaining the same incantation.

"Give me the fusion!"

The light inside the furnace gradually dimmed, eventually forming a strange liquid that was a mix of gold and purple.

Electric flashes occasionally appeared on the surface of the liquid, emitting suffocating energy fluctuations.

"It's done!"

A look of joy flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled the liquid into his body.

"boom"

As if a volcano were erupting inside him, Gu Sheng's entire body instantly turned crimson.

The blood vessels under the skin are clearly visible, like tiny snakes wriggling.

The rock beneath him turned to dust without a sound, and the vegetation within a ten-foot radius turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

“Uh.”

Gu Sheng let out a suppressed growl, veins bulging on his forehead.

He could feel two completely different medicinal properties raging through his body, breaking and rapidly rebuilding the meridians wherever they passed.

"Hang in there!"

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stay awake.

"This is the only way to achieve a breakthrough!"

He circulated his internal energy, guiding the medicinal properties to circulate within his body.

With each cycle, the body strengthens a little, but the pain also intensifies.

"Not enough"

Gu Sheng's eyes were bloodshot.

"Mental strength needs to be improved in tandem!"

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed like lightning, his gaze piercing through the dense forest and landing on the faintly visible dark figure in the distance.

The golden light flowing beneath his skin gradually faded, but the aura emanating from his body was like that of a lurking ferocious beast, ready to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.

"Come out, hiding your true self isn't a good habit."

Gu Sheng's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

A rustling sound came from the woods, and twelve figures appeared like ghosts.

They were completely shrouded in black armor, with only pairs of cold, merciless eyes visible.

The leader held a blood-red longsword, its blade wreathed in eerie black energy.

"Gu Sheng, His Excellency has ordered that you be taken back."

The black-armored leader's voice was hoarse, like the scraping of metal.

"If you surrender obediently, you can avoid physical suffering."

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"You cowardly rats hiding your heads and tails?"

"Insanity!"

The black-armored leader roared and slashed down with his blood-red longsword. A three-zhang-long blood-red blade of light tore through the air and headed straight for Gu Sheng's face.

Gu Sheng neither dodged nor avoided, casually waving his right hand.

"boom!"

The force of the fist collided with the blade's edge, unleashing a deafening roar.

The violent energy spread out in all directions, instantly shredding the trees within a ten-foot radius into pieces.

The black-armored leader's pupils contracted slightly.

"A half-step into the Golden Body of Glazed Glass? No wonder he's so arrogant."

Gu Sheng flexed his wrists, feeling the surging power within his body.

"Since you knew that, why did you still dare to come and die?"

"Formation!"

Without further ado, the black-armored leader gave an order, and the twelve black-armored warriors quickly dispersed, forming a strange formation.

The weapons in their hands simultaneously glowed with a blood-red light, connecting with each other and weaving into a blood-red net in the air.

Gu Sheng frowned slightly; he could sense the strange power contained within the formation.

The Heavenly Demon Vine writhed uneasily on his arm, sending out a dangerous signal.

"go with!"

At the command of the black-armored leader, a crimson net descended upon them.

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, bent his knees slightly, and suddenly leaped up.

He clenched his right fist, golden light swirling beneath his skin, and slammed it into the blood-red net.

"Boom!"

The moment his fist made contact with the net, Gu Sheng's expression changed drastically.

He felt his power vanish like a mud ox sinking into the sea, most of it absorbed by the blood-red net.

Even more strangely, the remaining force was rebounded, causing his arm to go numb.

"Hahaha, it's useless!"

The leader in black armor laughed loudly.

"This 'Blood Fiend Devouring Spirit Array' is specifically designed to counter those with strong physical bodies. The stronger you are, the stronger the rebound will be!"

Gu Sheng landed and took several steps back, his eyes filled with seriousness.

He looked down at his arm, where the Heavenly Demon Vine was writhing restlessly, as if trying to convey some message to him.

"You want to try?"

Gu Sheng asked in a low voice.

The Heavenly Demon Vine nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

"Alright, let's all go together!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he moved like lightning, charging towards the black-armored warrior once more.

This time, instead of attacking the crimson net directly, he suddenly changed direction and rushed towards a black-armored warrior at the edge of the formation.

"Stop him!"

The leader in black armor shouted urgently.

But it was too late.

Gu Sheng's speed increased dramatically, and he instantly arrived in front of the black-armored warrior.

His right fist shone brightly with golden light as he slammed it into his opponent's chest.

"boom!"

The black-armored warrior hastily raised his sword to parry, but with a "crack," the long sword snapped in two.

Gu Sheng's fist continued its momentum, slamming heavily into the opponent's chest.

"puff"

The black-armored warrior spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest armor dented, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into several large trees before coming to a stop.

The formation suddenly developed a gap.

"Damn it!"

The black-armored leader cursed angrily and hurriedly adjusted the formation.

But would Gu Sheng give him the chance? He flashed again, and another black-armored warrior was sent flying.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Vine on his left arm suddenly grew rapidly, transforming into dozens of golden vines that coiled around the other two black-armored warriors like serpents.

"what!"

A scream rang out as the two black-armored warriors were entangled by vines and instantly had their life essence drained, turning them into two dried corpses.

"Heavenly Demon Vine?!"

The black-armored leader exclaimed in surprise.

"You actually subdued such a ferocious beast!"

Gu Sheng was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the Heavenly Demon Vine to have such power after its evolution.

But this was not the time to think. He seized the opportunity and launched a series of attacks, killing two more black-armored warriors.

In the blink of an eye, six of the twelve black-armored warriors were gone, and the formation completely collapsed.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the black-armored group decisively gave an order.

The remaining six black-armored warriors quickly gathered together, their weapons crossed to form a blood-red light shield.

Gu Sheng sneered. "Trying to leave? Too late!"

His internal energy surged wildly.

The golden light beneath his skin grew stronger and stronger until his entire body looked as if it had been cast in gold.

He threw out both fists at the same time, and two golden fist shadows shot through the air.

"Boom! Boom!"

The crimson light shield shook violently, and cracks appeared.

"puff"

All six black-armored warriors coughed up blood, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

"Gu Sheng! Don't be so smug!"

The black-armored leader gritted his teeth.

"The Venerable One will not let you off!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a blood-red jade slip and crushed it.

A beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, forming a huge blood-red phantom in the air.

The phantom's face was obscured, but the oppressive aura it exuded made Gu Sheng's breath catch in his throat.

"The Realm of the Venerable"

Gu Sheng's expression was solemn.

"Insects, how dare you kill my Black Fiend Guards."

The phantom emitted a deep sound, like rumbling thunder.

"I will make you wish you were dead!"

Before the words were finished, the phantom stretched out a large, blood-red hand and reached out to grab Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng felt as if his blood was freezing, and his movements became unusually sluggish.

He gritted his teeth and channeled all the power within his body, causing the golden light beneath his skin to flash wildly as he resisted the terrifying pressure.

"Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron!"

In the critical moment, Gu Sheng silently shouted, communicating with the treasure within his body.

A wisp of chaotic energy surged from his dantian and quickly spread throughout his body.

Gu Sheng immediately felt the pressure lessen and regained his ability to move.

"what?"

The phantom made a surprised sound.

You have it on you.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Sheng suddenly leaped up, his right fist carrying chaotic energy as he slammed towards the blood-red hand.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

A violent energy storm swept across the surrounding area, turning all the trees and rocks within a hundred feet into dust.

Gu Sheng was thrown back dozens of feet by the force of the recoil, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

But the crimson hand was also shattered, and the phantom became much more blurred.

"Interesting, very interesting."

The phantom emitted an eerie laugh.

"I am becoming more and more interested in you."

As he spoke, the phantom suddenly split into six beams of blood-red light, which shot into the bodies of the remaining six black-armored warriors.

"what!"

The six people let out a shrill scream, and their bodies swelled up at a visible speed, turning into six blood-red monsters that were three zhang tall in the blink of an eye.

"Kill them!"

The voice of the black-armored leader came from the mouth of a monster, filled with resentment.

Six blood-red monsters pounced on Gu Sheng at the same time, moving with incredible speed.

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly; he could sense that each of these monsters possessed strength approaching the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

What's even more terrifying is that they seem to have no sense of pain; they are nothing more than relentless fighting machines.

"boom!"

Gu Sheng punched a monster in the chest, knocking it back several steps.

But the other party only swayed for a moment before lunging at him again.

At the same time, five other monsters attacked from different directions.

"Damn it!"

Gu Sheng cursed under his breath and retreated hastily.

The Heavenly Demon Vine on his left arm grew wildly again, transforming into countless vine shadows that temporarily blocked the monster's attack.

"Master, these monsters contain the essence of Venerables, so ordinary attacks are ineffective."

A childish voice suddenly rang in Gu Sheng's mind.

Gu Sheng was taken aback.

"Who is speaking?"

"It is I, the Heavenly Demon Vine."

The voice answered.

"After absorbing the bloodline of the ancient divine phoenix, I awakened my intelligence."

Gu Sheng was shocked, but now was not the time to ask questions.

"Then how do we deal with them?"

"Use the power of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron's origin, combined with my devouring ability."

The Heavenly Demon Vine answered.

"But this will consume a lot of energy, and then I will fall into a deep sleep."

Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with determination.

"That's it!"

He suddenly stopped and stopped retreating.

The chaotic energy within his body surged out wildly, forming a layer of hazy light on his body surface.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Vine completely detached from his left arm, transforming into a ten-zhang-long golden giant vine that danced in the air.

"kill!"

Six blood-red monsters pounced at the same time.

Gu Sheng's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.

"Well done!"

He unleashed both fists simultaneously, sending two chaotic fist shadows hurtling towards the two monsters in front of him.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Vine, like golden lightning, instantly entangled the other four.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The two monsters struck by the chaotic fist shadow exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The four creatures entangled by the Heavenly Demon Vine let out a shrill scream as their bodies rapidly withered away.

"No!"

The black-armored leader's voice was filled with terror.

"This is impossible!"

Gu Sheng gave his opponents no chance to catch their breath, and in a flash, he arrived in front of the last two monsters.

He formed his right hand into a claw and plunged it directly into the chest of a monster. A burst of chaotic energy erupted, completely obliterating the trace of Venerable Origin within its body.

Seeing that things were not going well, the other monster turned and fled.

"Want to go?"

Gu Sheng sneered, and the Heavenly Demon Vine instantly flew out, binding him.

Within a few breaths, the monster was also drained dry.

After the battle, Gu Sheng was pale and his breathing was disordered.

Overusing his primordial power caused a dull ache in his meridians.

The Heavenly Demon Vine had also shrunk considerably, and its light had dimmed.

"Master, I'm going to sleep now."

After the Heavenly Demon Vine finished speaking weakly, it retracted back to its left arm, turning into a golden tattoo.

Gu Sheng was panting heavily as he cautiously looked around.

He knew that the real danger had only just begun.

Although the illusory figure of the Venerable One was repelled, the real Venerable One is probably already on his way.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated in the mountains and forests.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged on a blue stone, surrounded by a faint golden halo.

He had just broken through to the half-step Glazed Golden Body, his blood and qi were like mercury, his bones were like jade, and every inch of his skin contained astonishing power.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes snapped open, his pupils gleaming with golden light.

"coming."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Within the range of mental perception, three figures were approaching at an astonishing speed, each step covering dozens of feet, clearly indicating their considerable cultivation.

What concerned Gu Sheng even more was that the three men's auras were completely locked onto him, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Perfect opportunity to test the power of this half-step Glazed Golden Body."

Gu Sheng slowly rose to his feet, his robes fluttering even without wind.

Almost the instant he stood up, three black spear beams pierced the air, like three venomous snakes, attacking his vitals from three tricky angles.

Wherever the spear's edge passed, the air emitted a sharp, explosive sound, and the surrounding trees were shattered by the aftershocks.

"Target spotted, kill!"

A cold voice echoed through the forest.

Gu Sheng neither dodged nor avoided the attack; instead, he opened his arms and allowed the three spear beams to strike him.

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening explosion, the boulder upon which Gu Sheng stood instantly turned to dust, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky, obscuring an area of ​​several dozen feet in radius. (End of Chapter)
