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

'Such destructive power!' Gu Sheng thought with a chill. 'This person's pure physical strength is already infinitely close to the threshold of the Heavenly King Realm! If I hadn't forged my Dao Body and integrated the four top-tier Dao Auras into my body, greatly enhancing my physical body's resilience and recovery ability, that attack just now would probably have blown my entire arm apart!'

His gaze swept over Huang Batian's body, which resembled an ancient, ferocious beast. Far from fear, his eyes flashed with a barely perceptible fervor. 'Such abundant and pure blood and energy…this is the perfect nourishment for the Heavenly Demon Vine! If I can devour it, the vine will surely advance once more!'

"Hahaha! Come again!"

Huang Batian let out a wild laugh, his crimson blood surged again, and he stepped into the void, creating a sonic boom. He was like a burning meteor, rushing towards Gu Sheng once more!

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Gu Sheng's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but charged straight at the enemy!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In an instant, the two engaged in the most intense and dangerous close combat in the ravaged sky! Fists, palms, elbows, knees, legs... every part of their bodies became the most deadly weapon, and every collision erupted with a deafening roar, blasting out terrifying energy ripples!

The two were like two intertwined and colliding lightning bolts, their figures flashing and intersecting rapidly in the air. Ordinary martial artists at the Grandmaster level would probably find it difficult to even track their movements!

Gu Sheng pushed the power of his Glazed Golden Body and Dao Body to the limit, his body shimmering with glazed treasure light, and forcefully met Huang Batian's fist, which was powerful enough to shatter mountains.

Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of his body, like porcelain about to shatter. Red and gold blood seeped out from the cracks, but under the influence of the boundless vitality and Daoist power, it quickly wriggled and repaired itself.

Huang Batian was also in bad shape. His left arm was hit by Gu Sheng's punch, which contained the power of the Divine Repelling Dao, and it hung limply for a moment. The bones made a tooth-grinding sound, but the terrifying blood and qi in his body were circulating like a furnace, and his injury was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The aftershocks of their battle were terrifying. Bodies below that required several people to encircle were instantly reduced to dust by the escaping energy! Several smaller hilltops were directly shattered, with rocks flying through the air and dust billowing everywhere, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Even the Heavenly Demon Vines that were greedily devouring corpses had a few that couldn't dodge in time and were instantly turned to ashes by the terrifying shockwave!

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows!

Although Gu Sheng appeared somewhat disheveled, his physical body constantly being injured and repaired, he was increasingly satisfied. 'Excellent! Under this pressure, my Glazed Golden Body is being rapidly forged and refined, not far from the true peak of the Golden Body! With my current physical strength, combined with the power of my Dao Body, I am more than capable of fighting ordinary mid-stage or even late-stage Earth Kings!'

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. 'The warm-up... should end now!'

Just as Gu Sheng's thoughts were turning and the four top-tier Daoist auras around his body began to subtly circulate, preparing to unleash his true power—

"die!"

Huang Batian seemed to sense something as well, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he attacked even faster! He suddenly pulled back his right fist, and the surging crimson blood energy around his body, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converged and compressed towards his fist!
A miniature blood-red sun seemed to rise from his fist, radiating destructive energy. It moved at incredible speed, slamming into Gu Sheng's face!

This punch already used some kind of powerful martial arts technique, and its power far exceeded that of the previous punches!
However, just as his fist, imbued with terrifying blood energy, was about to touch Gu Sheng's nose—

What he struck was merely a slowly dissipating afterimage!

"what?!"

Huang Batian's pupils contracted sharply, and a warning screamed in his heart!

In the next instant, he felt as if an invisible giant axe had struck his sea of ​​consciousness!
"laugh--!"

An indescribable, excruciating pain shot through him, as if his very soul were being torn apart! It was Gu Sheng concealing his aura with the Dao of Fate, secretly unleashing the power of the Dao of Repelling the Gods! It was specifically designed to sever the soul and annihilate consciousness!

"what!!!"

Huang Batian let out a shrill scream, and crimson blood spurted from all seven orifices at the same time. His whole body seemed to be frozen in place, and his eyes instantly became empty and unfocused!
At the same moment that his consciousness was severely damaged and his body stiffened, Gu Sheng's figure appeared silently behind him like a ghost.

Gu Sheng's expression was cold and stern. He held his sword finger to his chest, and his previously restrained aura suddenly erupted! Crimson-gold divine flames shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption, instantly condensing into countless long swords of true energy burning with glazed divine flames behind him!
Each sword of qi is incredibly refined, with the profound radiance of four Daoist principles—divine retribution, Thousand Illusions, Longevity, and Fate—flowing across its blade, radiating a terrifying aura that can annihilate everything and judge life and death!
"cut."

Gu Sheng uttered a single word.

"Boohoo, boomboo-!"

Those thousands upon thousands of glazed divine flame swords, like a death torrent that had received the final command, transformed into bolts of lightning that tore through the void, and came from all directions to strangle Huang Batian, who was frozen in place!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Snap!"

The sounds of sharp instruments cutting flesh and bones breaking rang out in rapid succession, sending chills down one's spine!

Huang Batian's peak Golden Body Realm physical body, which was strong enough to withstand the attack of the Earth King Realm, was easily cut and sliced ​​in front of this Glazed Divine Flame Qi Sword containing four top-level Daoist rhymes, just like a hot knife cutting through butter!
Arms, legs, torso... were instantly cut into dozens of pieces! The cuts were as smooth as a mirror, and you could even see the bones shimmering with precious light and the writhing internal organs inside!
Even more terrifying, the glazed divine flames clung to the severed limbs like a malignant sore, burning fiercely! Amidst the sizzling sounds, the surging blood and qi were scorched and purified by the divine flames, producing thick, billowing blood smoke that emitted a burnt stench!

In the blink of an eye, Huang Batian, who was just moments ago so arrogant, had been turned into a pile of minced meat being burned by divine flames!

Gu Sheng's gaze was icy as he prepared to activate the Heavenly Demon Vine to completely devour these "nutrients" containing a massive amount of blood essence.

However, something strange happened suddenly!

The severed and burning limbs and flesh seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, suddenly breaking free from the burning of the Glazed Divine Flame, and instantly converging towards the center at an incredible speed!

Flesh and blood writhe, piece together, and regenerate wildly!
Almost in the blink of an eye, a complete Huang Batian reappeared in front of Gu Sheng!
No! It's no longer the Huang Batian of the past!
His body was undergoing a terrifying transformation! Countless dark red, mysterious patterns, resembling both blood vessels and runes, were spreading densely across his originally bronze skin, emanating a chilling and evil aura.

His short black hair grew wildly, as if it were alive, and instantly turned into long, dark red hair that reached his waist!
His mouth stretched wide, all the way to his ears, and his once neat teeth became as sharp and white as a shark's! Most chillingly, below his eyes, the flesh writhed irregularly, squeezing out two more pairs of equally scarlet, cruel eyes devoid of any human emotion!

Three pairs of eyes, six in total, were fixed intently on Gu Sheng!
The scorching, violent crimson aura that had been surrounding him quickly faded away, transforming into a deeper, more deathly, pitch-black aura filled with destruction and ominousness!

This aura… Gu Sheng’s gaze sharpened. He recalled a demonization technique that Xiao Beixuan had used before. There seemed to be some similarities between the two, but upon closer inspection, there was a subtle and essential difference.

Xiao Beixuan's demonization leans more towards the violence and chaos of power, while Huang Batian's transformation gives people a strange feeling of... transforming from a ferocious beast into some kind of ancient god or demon!

"Ho ho..."

Huang Batian let out a strange, inhuman laugh, his six eyes darting around with an indifferent look down on him like an ant. "I thought that the physical cultivation I had in this body would be enough to crush you."

I never expected... that you could force me to use this power.

Gu Sheng felt the terrifying aura surging exponentially from the other party, but his eyes remained calm, though a hint of solemnity appeared deep within them. He responded calmly.

"Even if you summon that extraterrestrial blood demon to possess you, you are no match for me today."

"Blood Demon?"

The being occupying Huang Batian's body narrowed its six eyes simultaneously, revealing an extremely human-like look of surprise and scrutiny. Its voice also became overlapping and hoarse, as if two voices were speaking at the same time.

"How...how do you know about my Blood Demon clan?!"

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the overwhelming black aura surrounding the other party, his tone carrying a certainty that saw through illusion.

How I know is not important. What is important is that if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time.

"Once you extinguish this demonic thought that's attached to this person's soul, your so-called 'immortality' is nothing but a joke."

Faced with Huang Batian's surging aura and bizarre transformation, Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not panic.

His thoughts sank deep into the sea of ​​consciousness, transmitting a single thought.

"Ling'er, stop pretending to be asleep and come out for some exercise."

Deep within her consciousness, the warm sphere of primordial light trembled slightly, and Gu Ling'er's drowsy and reluctant mutterings echoed from within.

"Ugh...bad guy...he's at the crucial moment of refining...so noisy..."

Despite his complaints, a ray of light quickly flew out from between Gu Sheng's eyebrows, landed beside him, and transformed into the appearance of a beautifully sculpted little girl.

Gu Ling'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, her little face full of disgust at being disturbed from her sweet dreams. She yawned, glanced at Huang Batian, who had a terrifying aura and six ferocious eyes, and pouted.

"This guy? He looks awful and stinks..."

"I'll hold him for a moment, then I'll strangle his soul."

Gu Sheng gave his instructions succinctly.

"Okay, okay, what a hassle."

Although Gu Ling'er complained, she didn't slow down at all.

Her small figure swayed slightly, and in the next instant, as if teleporting, she appeared directly in front of Huang Batian without any warning! Her speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of the naked eye and ordinary mental perception!

"what?!"

Huang Batian's six eyes simultaneously narrowed, and for the first time, an expression of utter astonishment appeared on his face! When did this little girl appear? Her speed... how could she be so fast?!

The blood demon that possessed Huang Batian's body seemed to sense something. A very subtle look of surprise flashed in its scarlet eyes. It opened its mouth as if it wanted to say something.

"This breath... could it be..."

But Gu Ling'er didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her expression of disgust deepened, as if she were facing not a terrifying monster, but a pile of filthy garbage. "Get away from me, you ugly monster, you stink!"

Before she finished speaking, she raised her small, white, seemingly weak foot and, seemingly casually, gave Huang Batian a light kick between the eyebrows!
This kick had no fluctuation of true energy, nor any earth-shattering momentum.

However, the instant her toes touched Huang Batian's brow—

"Boom!"

A muffled sound, like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum, came from deep within Huang Batian's body!

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Huang Batian suddenly let out a shrill scream that was not human, and his whole body convulsed violently! A blurry, grotesque humanoid phantom with six arms was actually kicked out of Huang Batian's body by Gu Ling'er's seemingly light kick!
The six-armed phantom twisted and struggled, emitting a silent roar, its body shrouded in dense blood-red demonic energy. It was the Blood Demon Spirit Body that had possessed Huang Batian!
The moment the Blood Demon Spirit was shaken out of its body, Gu Sheng moved!

His eyes blazed with divine light, and his incomparably powerful soul force surged forth without reservation, rapidly condensing in front of him into a nearly transparent soul phantom that was exactly the same as his original body!
The phantom soul took a single step, seemingly traversing the boundaries of space, and instantly appeared before the struggling, fleeing six-armed blood demon spirit. The phantom soul raised its hand, its five fingers spread, and clenched its fist in mid-air towards the six-armed blood demon!
"Om-!"

An invisible force, specifically targeting the very essence of the soul, suddenly descended, like countless invisible chains, binding the six-armed blood demon's spirit tightly in mid-air! No matter how frantically it struggled and roared, or how fiercely the demonic energy surged, it could not break free even a fraction!

For the first time, a genuine, soul-deep fear was revealed in the six eyes of the six-armed blood demon! It stared intently at Gu Sheng's calm and unwavering soul phantom, as if it were seeing some incredible being.

Gu Sheng's illusory soul, facing this ferocious demon, revealed a faint yet cold smile.

"Annihilate."

He gently closed his loosely clenched five fingers.

"puff--!"

Like popping a bubble, the six-armed blood demon spirit, which had been tightly imprisoned, exploded before it could even let out a final wail, turning into countless wisps of pure soul fragments and dissipated demonic energy!
Gu Sheng's illusory soul opened its mouth and inhaled, generating an invisible suction force that swept away all the pure soul fragments, devouring them completely, leaving only the filthy demonic energy to slowly dissipate in place.

Having done all this, the illusory soul quickly faded, transforming back into a stream of light and returning to the space between Gu Sheng's brows. (End of Chapter)
