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

Twelve powerful auras were rapidly approaching, the slowest of which was at the peak of the Sect Realm, while the leader, Tian Gang, had even reached the Human King Realm.

"We have no choice but to fight it out."

Gu Sheng felt the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron spinning rapidly within his body, and a chilling aura, identical to that of Venerable Styx, erupted from his body.

"boom!"

The twelve figures landed almost simultaneously, kicking up clouds of dust.

Their eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent, but when Gu Sheng released the aura of the Styx Venerable, their expressions immediately became confused.

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Sheng shouted.

The twelve warriors knelt down on one knee in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, like well-trained soldiers.

Gu Sheng's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, as controlling the twelve corpse puppets at the same time was extremely mentally taxing.

He had to make a quick decision.

"Now, fight each other to the death, until only one person remains!"

Gu Sheng issued a cruel order.

In an instant, the previously quiet corpse puppets suddenly launched an attack.

The two closest martial artists at the Grandmaster level attacked almost simultaneously. One struck with a palm strike as sharp as a blade, aiming straight for the opponent's throat; the other threw a punch as powerful as a dragon, aiming for the opponent's heart.

"boom!"

Blood splattered, and the two martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm died simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the other corpse puppets also found their targets and engaged in fierce battles.

Gu Sheng retreated behind a boulder and coldly observed the infighting.

The Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron continued to operate within his body, maintaining control over the corpse puppets.

"what!"

A scream rang out as another martial artist at the Grandmaster Realm had his chest ripped open by his companion, his heart ripped out.

As the strongest Human King Realm corpse puppet, Tian Gang was invincible. With a single punch, he directly shattered the head of a peak Sect Realm corpse puppet.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and only Tian Gang remained standing in the arena.

He was covered in blood, his left arm and right leg were nowhere to be seen, but his aura as a human king was still terrifying.

Gu Sheng emerged from behind the boulder, his face as pale as paper.

After continuously controlling so many high-level corpse puppets, his mental energy was almost exhausted.

“Very good, Tiangang.”

Gu Sheng forced himself to walk up to Tian Gang.

"Now, end your own life."

Tian Gang's eyes flickered violently, as if he were struggling.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, and he immediately increased the output of the Nine Dragons Qiankun Cauldron.

However, at that moment, the essence of the Styx Venerable within him suddenly fluctuated and then completely dissipated.

"Oops!"

Gu Sheng's expression changed drastically.

Tian Gang's eyes cleared instantly, and a wave of killing intent surged forth.

"You little beast, how dare you manipulate me!"

Despite having only one leg and one arm remaining, Tian Gang still unleashed astonishing combat power.

With a sudden swing of his remaining left arm, a thousand-foot-long stream of true energy poured down like a silver river, slashing down on Gu Sheng's head.

"Nine Dragons Protect the Body!"

In his haste, Gu Sheng unleashed the full power of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron, with nine golden dragon phantoms swirling around him, forming a golden barrier.

"Boom!"

The stream of true energy collided with the golden dragon barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.

Gu Sheng was thrown dozens of feet by the enormous impact, crashing heavily into the mountain wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough."

Gu Sheng struggled to his feet, the phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron faintly visible behind him.

"As expected of a Human King Realm expert."

Tian Gang grinned maliciously and hopped forward on one leg.

"You mere Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator dares to covet Lord Styx's corpse puppet? Today I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"

Gu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with determination.

"Is that so? Then let's see who dies first!"

He suddenly activated all the power within his body, and the phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron instantly solidified, with nine golden dragons roaring as they merged into his body.

At the same time, an ancient longsword appeared in his hand. The Southern Emperor Sword!
"Northern Star Sky-Piercing Sword!"

With a long roar, Gu Sheng transformed into a golden streak of light and shot straight towards Tiangang.

Wherever the sword light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

Tian Gang's expression changed drastically, and he hastily gathered all his true energy for defense.

However, this sword strike contained the primordial power of the Nine Dragons Qiankun Cauldron, and its power far exceeded his imagination.

"Pfft!"

The sword light pierced Tian Gang's chest, bringing with it a spray of blood.

Tian Gang looked down in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest, his lips trembling.

"This is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible."

Gu Sheng said coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, the Southern Emperor Sword burst forth with dazzling light, instantly tearing Tian Gang's body into pieces by the sword energy.

With Tian Gang's death, Gu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

This battle was too costly; if it weren't for the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron and the Half-Step Glazed Golden Body, he would have already perished.

"The Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron is indeed incredibly useful."

Gu Sheng looked inside his body and discovered that several mysterious patterns had appeared on the surface of the cauldron.

"It can not only simulate the aura of others, but also store one's own source power."

He suddenly realized that if he could make good use of this ability, it might have an unexpected effect at a crucial moment.

For example, could someone impersonate a close confidant of Styx?

Gu Sheng shook his head; now was not the time to think about these things.

He must leave as soon as possible; Venerable Styx may have already sensed the death of the corpse puppet.

"We need to go to Great Wilderness City."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

"There are many people and many eyes there, making it the perfect place to hide."

He quickly cleaned up the battlefield and put several relatively intact corpse puppets into his storage ring; these were all excellent research materials.

Then, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the Great Wilderness City.

Meanwhile, deep within a gloomy hall at the border between the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Region.

"boom!"

Venerable Styx shattered the jade table in front of him with a single palm strike, causing the entire hall to tremble.

His face was so dark it seemed to drip water, and the murderous intent in his eyes was almost tangible.

"The Bloodthirsty Twelve Riders are all wiped out?"

The voice of the Styx Venerable was like the coldest ice in the netherworld.

"That is the culmination of my hundreds of years of hard work!"

In the hall filled with billowing black mist, Venerable Styx, his black robes fluttering, cast strange hand seals with his pale fingers.

Nine blood-red talismans floated before him, each emanating a chillingly evil aura.

"Three thousand years."

The Styx Venerable's voice was hoarse, and his eyes flashed with blood-red light.

"We've finally waited for this moment."

Suddenly, the floor of the main hall cracked open, and a black figure slowly rose up.

She was a woman wearing a black dress, her skin as white as snow but with an unhealthy pallor, and the silver bells on her bare feet jingled crisply with her steps.

"Ring ring."

Each ring of the bell dimmed the sealing runes on the walls of the main hall.

The woman walked up to the Styx Monk, her red lips slightly parted.

"Your Excellency, I've kept you waiting."

The Styx Monk's eyes were filled with fanaticism.

"Demon Moon, you have finally awakened."

The woman named Yaoyue chuckled, her laughter carrying an indescribable eeriness.

"Thanks to the Venerable One's nourishment with living souls over the years, otherwise I would still be trapped in this damned seal."

Venerable Styx said no more, and suddenly clasped his hands together. "Break!"

Nine blood-red talismans burned simultaneously, transforming into nine blood dragons that surged toward the top of the main hall.

At the same time, the silver bells on Yaoyue's ankles shook wildly, and black mist surged out from under her skirt, merging with the blood dragon.

"boom"

Golden light flashed from the top of the hall, and ninety-nine golden chains appeared out of thin air, each engraved with ancient runes, strangling towards the black mist.

"A mere seal dares to stop me?"

Venerable Styx grinned maliciously, and a jet-black jade slip flew out from his sleeve.

"Three thousand living souls, heed my command!"

The jade slip shattered, and countless twisted faces wailed as they formed a barrier, forcefully blocking the first wave of attacks from the golden chains.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yao Yue formed hand seals, and a blood-red crescent moon emerged from the black mist.

"When the blood moon hangs in the sky, all laws crumble!"

The crimson crescent moon collided with the golden chains, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.

One chain after another broke, but with each break, more chains emerged from the void.

The Styx Monk's face was gloomy.

"The seal of that old thief from the Gu family is indeed difficult to deal with."

He turned to look at Yao Yue.

"Use that trick."

Yao Yue's eyes showed hesitation, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

She bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the black mist.

"With my lifeblood, I call upon your true name, Styx Blood Demon, heed my command!"

The black mist instantly boiled, transforming into a towering wave of blood that crashed against the seal.

The golden chains were forced back by this force, and a crack appeared in the top of the hall.

"go!"

Venerable Styx grabbed Yaoyue's wrist, and the two of them transformed into a streak of blood-red light and burst out of the rift.

Behind them, the entire hall collapsed with a roar, and the golden chains twisted like a dying python before finally dissipating into specks of golden light.

Two days later, under a clear blue sky, a streak of azure light pierced the horizon.

Gu Sheng stood on the flying sword, the map given to him by Bai Yu gleaming faintly in his hand.

He frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the continuous mountain range below.

"The Boundless Ancient City, once a sacred place in the Eastern Wilderness, has now become a paradise for treasure hunters."

Suddenly, he sensed several auras approaching.

Turning his head, he saw five streaks of light flying towards him.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

The young man in the blue robe at the head of the group spoke loudly, his voice filled with enthusiasm.

Gu Sheng slowed down without making a sound, his right hand already on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

The five streaks of light stopped in front of him, revealing the figures of three men and two women.

The young man in the blue robe cupped his hands and smiled.

"I am Zhao Boyang from the Great Wilderness Holy Academy. These are my fellow disciples. May I ask if you have come from the direction of Great Wilderness City?"

Gu Sheng's gaze swept over the five people, finally settling on Zhao Boyang.

This person exudes a calm aura, indicating he is at least at the mid-stage of the Sect Realm, while the other four are considerably weaker.

"Just passing by."

Gu Sheng said calmly, neither admitting nor denying.

A man in blue standing next to Zhao Boyang frowned.

"This is how you respond when Senior Brother Zhao asks you a question?"

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

Zhao Boyang gave a stern rebuke, then turned to Gu Shengshi and put on a smile again.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. Junior Brother Zhou is a bit impatient. We are on our way to the Boundless Ancient City, and seeing that you are traveling alone, we came to invite you to join us."

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm used to being alone."

"Humph, I don't know how to appreciate it!"

Junior Brother Zhou in green snorted coldly.

"Senior Brother Zhao is a master of the Grandmaster Realm. It's your good fortune that he's willing to take you along!"

Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold, his gaze piercing towards Junior Brother Zhou like a sword.

The latter suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast, and involuntarily took half a step back, his face turning pale.

Zhao Boyang looked surprised and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense; Junior Brother Zhou speaks without thinking. Since you don't wish to travel with us, we won't force you."

Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze and was about to leave when he suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned to look at the horizon.

Zhao Boyang also noticed something was wrong, and his expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

Dozens of streaks of light flew in from afar like shooting stars, their speed so fast that they were already close in the blink of an eye.

These streaks of light were an eerie dark red, emanating an unsettling aura.

"They're from the Blood Fiend Sect!"

A female disciple standing next to Zhao Boyang exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are they here?"

Junior Brother Zhou's face turned deathly pale.

"Wasn't the Blood Fiend Sect wiped out a hundred years ago?"

Zhao Boyang made a decisive decision.

"Form defensive formations! Don't engage in a direct confrontation!"

However, before they could make a move, dozens of dark red streaks of light had already surrounded them.

As the light dissipated, more than thirty cultivators dressed in blood-red robes appeared, each with an eerie red glow in their eyes.

Gu Sheng's shirt was torn to shreds by the bombardment of the true energy, revealing his muscular upper body.

His bronze skin gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, his muscles were smooth and powerful, yet there wasn't a single scar on his skin.

Those dozen or so attacks, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, only left a few shallow white marks on his skin, which disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

A moment of silence fell over the room. The wind whipped up dust, sweeping past the stiff bodies of the crowd.

Ye Changling's pupils suddenly contracted, and the rage on his face froze, turning into disbelief.

He stared intently at Gu Sheng's unharmed chest, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"This is impossible……"

He hissed in a low voice, then his anger intensified, and he roared fiercely.

"A bunch of useless trash! You can't even handle a wild brat! Attack! With all your might! I want to see him torn to pieces within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!"

Upon receiving the order, the dozens of experts at the sect level were shocked, but dared not disobey.

They exchanged a glance, their killing intent coalescing once more, even more intense and ferocious than before.

Various kinds of true energy surged forth, and the clanging sound of swords being drawn was incessant, all locking onto Gu Sheng, who stood alone in the arena.

Zhao Boyang clutched his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and said urgently upon seeing this.

"Brother Gu, step back quickly!"

They're really going to kill us!

He struggled to raise the barrier again, but due to the disorder of his internal energy, he was unable to gather his true energy for a while.

The disdain on the faces of his men beside him had long been replaced by astonishment, and one of them murmured to himself.

"He withstood attacks from more than ten Dao Sect Realm experts... Just what kind of monster is he?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Boyang angrily rebuked him.

"Shut up, all of you! If Brother Gu hadn't been implicated by us, he wouldn't be in this situation! Why aren't you helping him?"

He mustered his inner energy and tried to step forward.

However, Gu Sheng seemed not to hear the voice behind him.

He moved his neck slightly, making a soft cracking sound.

His gaze was terrifyingly calm, an unfathomable indifference, as if the dozens of murderous experts at the Sect Realm before him were no different from roadside weeds.

This gaze caused the inexplicable fear in Ye Changling's heart, who had just finished roaring, to surge up again, and he even involuntarily took half a step back.

"kill!"

A hot-tempered, mid-stage Grandmaster-level giant couldn't hold back and made the first move.

He wielded a heavy, ghost-headed saber, its earthen-yellow true energy surging wildly, the blade humming as it slashed at Gu Sheng with immense force, the wind from the blade fierce, kicking up dust from the ground. (End of Chapter)
