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

Those evil cultivators at the Heavenly Martial Realm were vulnerable before the Divine Flame Qi Sword, instantly pierced, torn apart, and burned to ashes!
Even those few evil cultivators at the early stage of the sect realm, who did their best to maintain their protective true essence and summon defensive magic weapons, were still bombarded by several or even a dozen qi swords in succession.

The protective shield shattered, the magical artifact crumbled, and his body was riddled with charred holes. He screamed and fell to the ground, dying instantly!

In the blink of an eye, the defensive line formed by dozens of evil cultivators was torn open by the violent rain of swords, leaving a huge gap! Charred corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like rivers!
The old evil cultivator at the sixth level of the Dao Realm and the sinister middle-aged man who ambushed the old bear barely managed to withstand the rain of swords thanks to their profound cultivation and protective treasures.

But he was also in a sorry state, his protective light shield was flashing violently, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with utter horror!
"What...what kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

The old evil cultivator's voice trembled; he had never seen such a domineering and terrifying group attack sword technique!

This was completely beyond his understanding of martial artists at the Grandmaster level!

"We can't let him draw his sword again!"

The sinister middle-aged man's eyes were filled with madness. He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto a black short blade in his hand!

The short blade instantly erupted with a dense burst of bloody light!
"Come together! Kill him!"

The old evil cultivator also realized how terrifying Gu Sheng was. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and the black energy in his bone staff surged, transforming into a ferocious black python that roared and pounced on Gu Sheng!

Just as the two were preparing to fight to the death, they were horrified to discover that the divine flame swords that had just raged had not completely dissipated!

Dozens of sword-like energy slashes made a nimble turn in mid-air, instantly blocking all their space to dodge or retreat!
The blazing sword intent was like a cage, trapping them firmly in place!
"Damn it! Our escape route is blocked!"

The gloomy middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale.

"Fight him!"

The old evil cultivator's eyes were filled with desperate madness!
He knew that today it was either him or her who would die!
He suddenly plunged the bone staff into his chest! An extremely dense black aura mixed with his blood essence surged wildly into the bone staff!
"Styx Blood Sacrifice! Rakshasa True Form!"

The old evil cultivator let out a shrill roar that was not human!

His body swelled up rapidly!

His skin turned as black as ink, his muscles bulged and bulged, and thick bone spurs pierced through his skin, protruding menacingly from his joints!

His head was twisted and deformed, his fangs were protruding, and his eyes were blood red, exuding overwhelming ferocity and resentment!

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a withered old man into a terrifying Rakshasa demon, three zhang tall, with a blue face and fangs, as if he had crawled out of hell!
The rakshasa-like evil cultivator elder let out a deafening roar, the violent sound waves causing the surrounding ground to crack!

He abandoned his bone staff, and his jet-black claws, carrying a terrifying power that tore through space, slashed down at Gu Sheng, who was blocked by the qi sword and seemed to have no time to react!

Three zhang! Two zhang! One zhang!
The shadow of claws had completely enveloped Gu Sheng!

The sinister middle-aged evil cultivator even revealed a cruel smile, as if he could already see Gu Sheng being torn to pieces!

Just as those dark, sharp claws were less than three feet from Gu Sheng's head—

A very faint yet incredibly clear piercing sound rang out!

A dark golden streak of light, like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time, pierced through the back of the Rakshasa demon without warning at a speed that exceeded the limits of vision!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Rakshasa demon's frenzied attack suddenly froze!
In his bloodshot eyes, the overwhelming ferocity was instantly replaced by unbelievable horror and extreme pain!

He slowly lowered his head, looking at his chest covered with black scales and bulging muscles.

A vine, only as thick as a thumb, covered in dark gold scales and with a metallic sheen at its tip, was emerging from his chest, near his heart!

The vines were covered with fine, menacing barbs!

At this moment, those barbs wriggled and opened wildly, hooking tightly into every inch of his flesh and blood and meridians!

"Uh... ah..."

The Rakshasa demon emitted a strange hoarse sound from its throat, and its massive body trembled violently!

He felt an irresistible, terrifying suction force coming from that vine!

His boundless life force, profound true essence, and even the Rakshasa's ferocious aura that he had forcibly condensed using a secret technique were all frantically drawn out and devoured by that vine like a flood bursting its banks!
His swollen body shrank at a visible rate!

The jet-black scales lost their luster, the bulging muscles atrophied, and the menacing bone spurs became gray and fragile!

He tried to struggle, trying to muster his last bit of strength, but the vines seemed to be rooted in the very source of his life, pinning him to the spot so firmly that he couldn't even move a finger!
"No...impossible..."

His eyes were filled with despair and confusion, and he died without understanding where this fatal attack came from!

"hiss--!"

The sinister middle-aged evil cultivator standing nearby gasped in shock at the sight of this unbelievable scene, his hair standing on end!

To his horror, he saw that the dark golden vine was extending from the faintly visible phantom of the Nine Dragons Bronze Cauldron behind Gu Sheng!

Gu Sheng didn't even move an inch from beginning to end!
"Back off! Back off!"

The sinister middle-aged man was so terrified that he lost all will to fight. With a strange cry, he turned and tried to flee!
It's too late!

Just as the Rakshasa demon was pierced and devoured by the Heavenly Demon Vine Master's vines, a cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes!
With a slight thought, the illusory image of the Nine Dragons Bronze Cauldron behind him shone brightly!

laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!
Countless vines shot out from the void like a burst dam!

These vines are no longer a single dark gold color, but present two completely different forms!
One part of the vines, entirely golden as if cast from gold, was wrapped with leaping crimson flames, exuding a strange aura that blended holiness and ferocity; this was the main vine itself!
The other part of the vines is pure scarlet, like congealed blood. The vines are covered with more ferocious and sharp barbs, exuding a pure bloodlust and destructive aura. It is the newly born blood-red branch!
The two types of vines, like living hellish tentacles, moved at incredible speed, instantly covering the entire battlefield!
Ignoring distance and defense, they precisely stabbed at every surviving evil cultivator!

"what!"

"No!"

"Help me!" Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the room!

Those remaining Heavenly Martial Realm disciples were like ants in front of the vines, instantly pierced, entangled, and strangled!

Their bodies shriveled up at a visible rate, turning into skin bags containing withered bones!
Those few early-stage evil cultivators who had survived the previous rain of swords only managed to hold on for half a breath longer before their protective true essence was torn apart, and they followed in the footsteps of their companions!
Even the sinister middle-aged man who tried to escape was caught up by several scarlet vines, which instantly pierced his limbs and dantian!
He let out a desperate roar, his body convulsed violently, his life force was drained away, and in a few breaths he turned into a dried-up corpse!
The entire battle was so fast it was breathtaking!
In just a few breaths, dozens of evil cultivators who were on high alert and trying to guard the exit, along with the Rakshasa demon at the sixth level of the sect realm and the sinister middle-aged man at the fifth level of the sect realm, were all turned into dried-up corpses lying haphazardly on the ground!

A strong stench of blood and death filled the air, making one want to vomit.

"Don't get close!"

Gu Sheng's icy voice resounded directly in the minds of Zhao Boyang, Lao Xiong, and all the survivors, carrying an undeniable warning.

"The Heavenly Demon Vine is about to advance and will indiscriminately attack any target containing life force!"

Zhao Boyang and the others, who were about to step forward to provide support, stopped in their tracks. Their faces were filled with horror and lingering fear as they watched the vines dancing wildly and devouring the corpses.
Old Xiong, in particular, was injured by the bloodline before and knew how strange and terrifying these evil cultivators' methods were. Now, seeing Gu Sheng's even more terrifying and domineering methods, his heart was in turmoil!

Gu Sheng stood there, his brows furrowed.

He could clearly feel an irrepressible throbbing and longing emanating from the Heavenly Demon Vine on his left arm!

Having previously devoured the life force of thousands of martial artists at the Grandmaster level (corpse puppet), it was already on the verge of advancing, but Gu Sheng forcibly suppressed it.

At this moment, it devoured dozens more evil cultivators, including two powerful cultivators in the mid-to-late stage of the Sect Realm. This boundless life force was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely destroying the dam of suppression!

"It can't be suppressed anymore..."

Gu Sheng thought to himself. Forcibly suppressing it might harm himself, or even cause the Heavenly Demon Vine to backfire.

Since that's the case, why not go with the flow and help it advance!
He stopped suppressing it and instead actively guided the true essence within his body to absorb and refine the massive amount of life force in conjunction with the Heavenly Demon Vine!

On Gu Sheng's left arm, the dark golden main vine burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
The light quickly transformed from dark gold to pure, brilliant gold!

At the same time, wisps of crimson flames appeared out of thin air, entwining around the golden vines and burning fiercely!
A terrifying aura, sacred and majestic yet containing endless ferocity, suddenly erupted!
At the end of the golden main vine, two newly sprouted branches are clearly visible.

One of them was entirely golden, wrapped in the same crimson flames, its aura originating from the same source as the main vine, only slightly immature.

The other one is pure scarlet, like congealed blood. The vine is covered with more ferocious and sharper barbs, exuding a pure aura of killing and destruction, completely different from the majestic majesty of the main vine!
"The essence of the Divine Phoenix... has altered the bloodline of the main vine, giving it both divinity and ferocity... but the newly grown blood-red offshoots seem largely unaffected, retaining the Heavenly Demon Vine's most primal bloodthirsty instincts?"

Gu Sheng's mind raced, and he instantly made a guess.

The entire advancement process lasted about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

As the brilliant golden light and crimson flames slowly receded, the main vine wrapped around Gu Sheng's left arm had completely transformed into a noble yet dangerous golden color, its surface flowing with a warm luster, yet faintly revealing a chilling ferocity.

The two forks were completely stabilized, and the golden blood flame vine and the scarlet barbed vine coiled around the main vine like two spirit snakes.

With a slight thought, Gu Sheng attempted to control the newly sprouted crimson branch.

call out!call out!call out!
Several scarlet vines shot out instantly, moving with lightning speed, leaving afterimages in the air, and instantly pierced through a hard black boulder dozens of feet away!

Its speed was so fast that it was almost close to the full burst of power of a martial artist at the seventh or eighth level of the Grandmaster Realm!

"Extremely fast speed, and the quantity is also considerable..."

Gu Sheng made a silent assessment.

"However, it lacks spirituality and has a single attack method, relying purely on speed and sharpness for physical piercing and devouring. It lacks the majestic pressure and changes contained in the main vine, which contains the power of the divine phoenix... It is more suitable for group attacks and sneak attacks."

He then manipulated the main vine of the Radiant Blood Flame, and a golden vine wrapped in crimson flames was pulled out. Wherever it passed, the air was scorched and distorted, carrying a terrifying aura that combined purification and destruction, far surpassing the power of the blood-red branch.

"The control has not weakened..."

Gu Sheng felt a clear and firm connection with the two vines, and his heart calmed down a little.

After its advancement, the Heavenly Demon Vine's power surged, but it remained completely under his control.

With a thought, all the vines retracted and disappeared into his left arm, leaving only clearer and more intricate patterns of dark gold and scarlet vines on his skin.

"go!"

Without further delay, Gu Sheng gave a low shout to the still-shaken Zhao Boyang and the others, and charged towards the huge black door first!
Zhao Boyang, Lao Xiong, and the others snapped out of their daze, quickly suppressed their shock, carried the wounded on their backs, and followed Gu Sheng, rushing towards the exit that symbolized freedom!
Without any hindrance, the group passed smoothly through the enormous portal formed by solidified darkness.

The scene before my eyes changed in an instant!

No longer the gloomy and oppressive sky and black earth of the Thousand Souls Palace Secret Realm, but a familiar scene of ruins filled with an ancient and dilapidated atmosphere!
Before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful, invisible restrictive force descended instantly!

"Oh no! An anti-air formation!"

Zhao Boyang's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise!

Everyone felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if they were being pulled down by an invisible giant hand!

The slight height advantage gained from passing through the portal vanished instantly, and everyone plummeted rapidly towards the ruins below, filled with broken walls and rubble!

Dahuang City, deep in the underground city.

A sky-blue sword light pierced the dim sky above the dungeon, finally settling before a magnificent, ornately decorated pavilion. Above the pavilion's lintel...

The three gilded characters "Linlang Pavilion" shone brightly under the light of the array.

Shen Qingtan and Gu Yuanyuan leaped off the flying sword.

This was Gu Yuanyuan's first time in such a prosperous and magnificent place. Looking at the towering pavilions and the endless stream of powerful martial artists around her, her little hands unconsciously gripped Shen Qingtan's clothes. Her eyes held both curiosity and the timidity of a newcomer.

Shen Qingtan sensed her nervousness, gently patted the back of her hand, then stepped forward and showed the ancient-looking cyan jade talisman that Gu Sheng had given her to the several guards standing at the door, whose auras were solemn. (End of this chapter)
