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

"Little girl! You forced me to this! With my own flesh and blood, I feed my Blood Ancestor! I respectfully beseech the Ancestor... to manifest his divine power!"

With his roar, the red light enveloping him suddenly surged and twisted!
An even more ancient and malevolent aura, seemingly originating from an endless abyss of blood, suddenly descended!

The crimson light churned and coalesced, slowly outlining a blurry yet terrifyingly ferocious blood-red figure in mid-air!
The moment this figure appeared, the temperature in the entire secret realm seemed to plummet!
A chilling, bloodthirsty, and chaotic will spread out!
The bloodstains left by Bai Yu and his sister seemed to be summoned, instantly drying up and turning into ashes!
Even Xia Fuqu and Xiao Mengling, who were seriously injured in the distance, felt a chill and fear that came from the depths of their souls!
"Blood... Blood Ancestor?!"

The playful smile on Qin Ling'er's face vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and... barely perceptible fear!

Her small body trembled slightly, like a frightened little animal. In an instant, she transformed into a streak of seven-colored light and retreated to Gu Sheng's side. Her little hands tightly gripped the hem of Gu Sheng's clothes, and her clear eyes were filled with fear.

"Gu Sheng...that thing...is terrifying!"

Qin Ling'er's voice trembled, a fear stemming from her primal instincts.

Gu Sheng's eyes were icy as he stared intently at the blurry, blood-red figure.

He could sense that it was not a real entity, but more like a projection of will that had descended across time and space!

But the evil power it contains absolutely surpasses the King Realm! It might even... touch upon an even higher level!
Without hesitation, he quietly grasped an ancient jade talisman covered with mysterious patterns in his left hand hidden in his sleeve—the very same Great Teleportation Talisman that Bai Yu had intended to use to escape!

Although it was damaged, at this moment, it was his only way out!
Just as Gu Sheng was about to crush the jade talisman at any moment—

The blurry, blood-red figure slowly raised its "head".

It has no facial features, but where the face should be, a scarlet vertical line slowly splits open!

A cold, indifferent vertical eye, seemingly capable of devouring all souls, suddenly opened!

In the vertical eye, there is no emotion, only pure, destructive evil!

It slowly turned, and finally locked onto Gu Sheng!
An invisible, terrifying wave, targeting the very essence of the soul, swept over us in an instant, like an invisible tide!

It lacked any earth-shattering momentum, yet it carried a destructive intent that struck straight to the depths of the soul!

"Soul Worship Technique!"

Xiao Beixuan's roar, filled with resentment and glee, rang out.

"This is the Blood Ancestor's supreme divine power! It is specifically designed to destroy the soul! Anyone below the Venerable Realm who is struck by it will surely die! Their soul will be scattered! Gu Sheng! Die!"

That invisible soul impact ignored spatial distance and instantly descended upon Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness!

Gu Sheng felt an indescribable chill and deathly stillness instantly engulf his soul!

It was as if it wanted to completely erase his consciousness, memories, and existence itself!
This power far surpassed any mental attack he had ever encountered before!
Just as this destructive soul force was about to completely annihilate Gu Sheng's consciousness—

Deep within Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, the mysterious cauldron that had been silent for so long suddenly emitted an extremely faint yet seemingly powerful hum that could suppress all the heavens and myriad worlds!

An invisible, supreme protective force, like the strongest dam, instantly formed around Gu Sheng's soul!
The power of the Soul Worshiping Sect, which was enough to annihilate those below the Venerable Realm, collapsed and vanished instantly upon impacting this invisible protection!

Gu Sheng felt a slight tremor in his mind, then his mind cleared up.

He remained standing in the same spot, his eyes calm and his breathing steady, as if the terrifying soul attack from before was just a gentle breeze.

“This…this is impossible!!!”

The sneer and pleasure on Xiao Beixuan's face froze instantly, replaced by unparalleled horror and disbelief!
He stared intently at the unharmed Gu Sheng, his voice sharp and distorted with extreme fear and shock.

"Soul-worshiping technique...how could it be ineffective?! You...what kind of monster are you?!"

The blurry, blood-red figure—the Blood Ancestor's split soul—had its core will forcefully enter the depths of Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness the instant it performed the Soul Worship Technique, following the invisible soul impact!
It carries an evil will to destroy everything, intending to completely crush and devour Gu Sheng's soul!
When it entered that vast and boundless sea of ​​consciousness, what greeted it was not the fragile soul origin it had expected, but a terrifying pressure that was vast, ancient, and filled with supreme majesty!
Like ants gazing at the sky, like streams facing the sea of ​​stars!
"An Emperor... an Emperor-level soul?!"

From the hazy consciousness of the Blood Ancestor's divided soul, an unprecedented scream of terror and disbelief erupted!
Like a moth drawn to an invisible barrier, it was instantly and firmly bound by an irresistible force! Unable to move!
Gu Sheng's illusory soul slowly condensed in his sea of ​​consciousness, his gaze indifferently looking down at the imprisoned, twisting and struggling crimson light (the Blood Ancestor's split soul).

"The Blood Demon Clan..."

Gu Sheng's voice was like a thunderclap from the heavens, echoing in his mind, carrying a chilling coldness that seemed to pierce through eternity.

"It seems that the purge back then was not thorough enough. There are still remnants who dare to descend into this world with their divided souls, causing trouble."

"You...who are you?!"

The consciousness of the Blood Ancestor's divided soul fluctuated violently, filled with extreme fear!
What it felt was not only the pressure of the Emperor Realm soul, but also an instinctive tremor from the depths of its bloodline towards a supreme being!
That was the fear of the true ruler branded deep within the souls of their Blood Demon race!

"who am I?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

“Go back and ask your original self… or ask your Blood Demon clan’s long-deceased progenitor… how he died back then.”

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Sheng's mind stirred slightly!
Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the vast and boundless power of the Emperor Realm soul erupted suddenly, crushing down fiercely!

"Do not--!!!"

The Blood Ancestor's split soul let out a desperate shriek, having no chance to resist. The blurry blood-red will was instantly crushed into the most primitive particles and completely annihilated!

The aura of the Blood Ancestor that it carried also vanished without a trace!
outside world.

The sneer and glee on Xiao Beixuan's face had long since frozen, leaving only boundless horror and fear!
He watched helplessly as the blurry figure of the Blood Ancestor, after using the Soul Worship Technique, not only failed to kill Gu Sheng, but instead began to twist and fluctuate violently!
Immediately afterwards, fragments of thought filled with extreme terror, as if from the deepest abyss, entered his mind intermittently.

"...The Emperor...is invincible...flee...never...call my name again..."

Like a burst bubble, the blurry blood-red figure instantly dissipated, turning into a cloud of blood mist, which was then completely purified and vanished by an invisible force! As if it had never existed!
"Blood... Blood Ancestor?!"

Xiao Beixuan was completely stunned! The Blood Ancestor's split soul... was actually... destroyed?!
Moreover, the last thought that Blood Ancestor sent was filled with unprecedented fear and warning!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Xiao Beixuan was in a state of madness; he could neither understand nor accept what was happening before his eyes!
The Blood Ancestor's divided soul—that was his greatest reliance! Enough to sweep away beings at the Heavenly King Realm! And yet… it's gone just like that?!
Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed his reason!

He could no longer care about the mission or the hatred! Survive! He had to escape this monster immediately!

He suddenly pulled out a jade talisman from his bosom, which was covered in cracks and emitted a faint spatial fluctuation—it was the fragment of the Great Teleportation Ancient Talisman that Bai Yu had intended to use to escape, but which he had shattered!
Although it was damaged, the spatial power it contained was enough for him to perform a short-distance random teleportation!
"Gu Sheng! You just wait!"

Xiao Beixuan roared venomously and crushed the jade talisman in his hand without hesitation!
A blinding silver light instantly enveloped him! Space itself twisted violently!

"Want to leave?!"

Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, ready to intercept!

The silver light burst forth too quickly and too suddenly! Xiao Beixuan's figure instantly became blurry and illusory within the silver light!
Just as the silver light was about to disappear completely, Xiao Beixuan seemed to suffer some kind of huge backlash, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!

His aura instantly weakened to the extreme! But in the end, he still vanished completely from the spot along with the silver light!
"pity!"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly as he looked at the spot where Xiao Beixuan had disappeared. Although the ancient talisman was damaged, it was still a life-saving item, and forcibly activating it would come at a great cost.

The last mouthful of foul blood that Xiao Beixuan spat out was clearly a backlash from the spatial power, damaging his very foundation. But in the end, it still allowed him to escape.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the "White Jade" corpse lying not far away under the green light screen, its flesh mangled and lifeless, with regret in his eyes.

Although I didn't have much contact with Bai Yu, he was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. He was willing to risk his life for his sister, yet he ended up in such a tragic state...

"Cough cough...Master Gu...Master Gu..."

A faint, almost inaudible sound suddenly came from the chest of the "corpse"!
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he instantly locked onto the source of the sound!

Beneath the torn clothes on the chest of the "corpse," a faint golden light slowly shone forth!

Immediately afterwards, a tiny figure, no bigger than a fingertip, with a body as if carved from white jade and features that vaguely resembled white jade, struggled to crawl out from the tear in the clothes!
The little man's breath was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, but his eyes held a mixture of relief at surviving a calamity and deep weariness.

"Bai... Baiyu?!"

Gu Sheng looked surprised.

"It is...it is I..."

The little man (Bai Yu)'s voice was barely audible, tinged with a bitter smile.

"I apologize for the spectacle, Pavilion Master Gu... This is the 'Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell' technique, a secret of my Bai family... It uses one's life essence and a portion of one's divine soul as a catalyst to condense a false body to die in place of the true body... The true body then transforms into this 'Jade Cicada' form..."

Although his vital energy was severely damaged and his cultivation was completely lost... as long as he could find a place where spiritual energy could nourish him and cultivate quietly for several months... he could rebuild his physical body and restore his cultivation...

As he spoke, he moved with difficulty toward Gu Sheng, seemingly trying to get away from the shattered light screen.

Gu Sheng understood. No wonder Bai Yu seemed so "fragile" when facing Xiao Beixuan's attacks; it turned out she had used most of her strength to use this life-saving secret technique.

This Bai family secret technique is indeed quite mysterious.

"It's alright, as long as you're alive."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, then his gaze swept over Xia Fuqu and Bai Zhi, who were seriously injured and unconscious in the distance.

"Miss Xia Fuqu's injuries are extremely serious, and so is Miss Baizhi's..."

"Senior Sister Xia..."

Bai Yu looked in Xia Fuqu's direction, her tone complicated.

"As a candidate for Holy Maiden of the Boundless Sect... she must possess a life-saving trump card bestowed upon her by the sect... the jade pendant's protective shield just now is proof of that... she should be out of danger... but her injuries... will probably take some time to heal..."

Gu Sheng nodded.

He had already guessed Xia Fuqu's identity. A candidate for saintess, no wonder she had access to such a core secret realm.

His gaze swept across the battlefield again, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"Where is Miss Xiao Mengling? She fell into the Immortal Pool..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu fell silent for a moment, a look of sadness appearing on her small face.

“Miss Mengling…she was severely injured by Xiao Beixuan…and fell into the Immortal Pool…the water of that Immortal Pool contains extremely vast energy…she was seriously injured…I’m afraid…”

He didn't say anything more, but his meaning was clear. Given Xiao Mengling's condition at the time, falling into that viscous, heavy, and violently energetic Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid would have been extremely dangerous.

Gu Sheng's gaze darkened slightly. Xiao Mengling… that silent girl clutching the bamboo scroll… daughter of Xiao Xuance of the Wanling Palace… could it all end like this…?

"Ling'er."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke.

"here I am!"

Qin Ling'er, who had been quietly staying by his side, immediately responded and looked up at him with her small face.

"Let's go take a look at the Fairy Pool."

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Find traces of Miss Xiao Mengling. We must find her alive... or at least her belongings."

"it is good!"

Qin Ling'er nodded obediently, her seven-colored gauze dress fluttering, her small figure transforming into a stream of light, instantly disappearing into the misty, but now much thinner, immortal pool.

Watching Qin Ling'er disappear, Bai Yu's small face showed an expression of extreme shock and curiosity.

"Master Gu... this... Miss Ling'er... who exactly is she? Just now... she was able to kick the half-demon Xiao Beixuan away with one kick... and she could also release that strange mist... is she really human?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, then looked intently toward the Immortal Pool and spoke slowly.

"She is a completely new existence."

"An existence... created by my own hands, yet beyond my control."

Bai Yu's small face was filled with shock and curiosity. He looked up at Gu Sheng, his voice weak but full of incomprehension.

"Gu... Pavilion Master Gu... that Miss Ling'er... who exactly is she? Just now... she was able to kick away the half-demon Xiao Beixuan with one kick... and she could also release that strange mist that imprisoned demonic energy... is she really human?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, then glanced intently at the direction of the Immortal Pool, where Qin Ling'er's figure had long since disappeared.

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying an indescribable complexity.

"She is my trump card."

"An existence... created by my own hands, yet beyond my control."

"The trump card..."

Bai Yu murmured the same thing over and over, her small body trembling slightly.

He knew the weight of the word "trump card," especially after witnessing Qin Ling'er's incredible abilities.

He didn't press further, his eyes filled only with awe and lingering fear. (End of Chapter)
