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

Throughout the entire Great Wilderness City, countless gazes, some open and some hidden, were cast toward Phoenix Town, filled with surprise, solemnity, and a hint of curiosity.

Everyone understood that a fierce battle that would reshape the landscape of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness was about to unfold in that desolate town, drawing a bloody curtain.

The atmosphere above Phoenix Town was as oppressive as the deathly stillness before a storm.

Xiao Beixuan hovered in the blood-red air, his face displaying a mocking and cruel expression, like a cat playing with a mouse.

He spread his arms slightly, and the thick, blood-like true energy around his body, exuding a strong fishy smell, surged wildly, transforming into a huge, ferocious, and terrifying blood hand that filled the sky!
Each of these bloody hands was tens of feet thick and hundreds of feet long. They were covered in dark, filthy blood, with twisted scales and sharp barbs. The tips of the fingers extended into sharp, hook-like nails that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
Hundreds upon hundreds of these terrifying bloody hands, like demonic claws reaching out from hell, emitted teeth-grinding friction and hissing sounds, grabbing fiercely at Gu Sheng, who stood alone in the center, from all directions! The space itself seemed to be torn apart by this dense onslaught!
Despite the overwhelming attack that would make even ordinary Earth King Realm warriors shudder, Gu Sheng remained calm.

He did not choose to dodge. His thick, golden aura suddenly erupted, transforming into hundreds of condensed, golden swords of true energy!

"go with!"

As he focused his mind, the hundreds of swords of qi seemed to possess sentience, emitting sharp whistling sounds as they precisely met the enormous blood hand that was reaching out to grab him!
"Pfft!"

A sharp sword of qi pierced the palm of a bloody hand, and the fierce sword intent instantly erupted, shattering the huge bloody hand from the inside, turning it into a cloud of blood mist!
However, something strange happened suddenly!

The moment the sword pierced the bloody hand and became stained with the filthy blood, hissing white smoke immediately rose from its blade! The filthy blood seemed to possess extremely strong corrosive properties, and within the blink of an eye, it burned and melted away most of the condensed qi sword blade!

Gu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately noticed the strange properties contained in the blood-red hand. 'It's not just corrosion... there seems to be something else hidden within this blood energy.' He recalled his last encounter with Xiao Beixuan in the Boundless Sect's secret realm, where the opponent had clearly been holding back and hadn't used such insidious methods.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this, Xiao Beixuan let out a smug sneer, his voice carrying a mocking tone through the blood-red hands that filled the sky.

"Gu Sheng, where's that little girl who can shatter the void beside you? Why don't you call her out to help you? This young master has prepared a 'big gift' especially for her!"

He was clearly wary of Gu Ling'er's elusive skills and strange abilities from last time, and had been on guard ever since.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng's lips curled into a disdainful smile, his voice echoing clearly in the air.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? She's not even worthy of being used against someone like you."

The instant he finished speaking, his keen spiritual senses detected that hidden within the ferocious blood hands waving wildly were countless fine, almost completely transparent, blood-red threads that emitted a strange suction force! These threads drifted silently with the waving of the blood hands, and were extremely difficult to detect if his spiritual power had not already been refined to the seventh rank!
'The Yuan Silk!' Gu Sheng instantly understood.

This is a vicious technique from the Blood Refining sect of unorthodox cultivators, specifically designed to counter a martial artist's vital energy. Once it comes into contact with the body, it will frantically drain the opponent's vital energy like a leech. If an ordinary martial artist is hit, their vital energy will be severely depleted in an instant, and their combat power will plummet. Moreover, this technique is hidden within violent martial arts skills, making it virtually impossible to defend against!
"That's quite a scheme!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly.

As several bloody hands drew near, the hidden Yuan-stealing threads were about to touch his body.

At this critical moment!
A dazzling crimson light suddenly erupted from Gu Sheng's body! It was not the murky crimson light of Xiao Beixuan, but a crystal-clear light containing boundless vitality and immortal Dao charm!

The perfect combination of the Daoist principles of longevity and the power of the Glazed Golden Body caused his blood and qi to materialize instantly, forming an indestructible barrier of blood and qi with flowing crimson-gold runes, which firmly sealed off an area of ​​several feet around him!
“Ding ding ding ding——!”

Almost the instant the blood and qi barrier took shape, countless subtle yet sharp impact sounds rang out! Those hidden Yuan-stealing threads pierced the blood and qi barrier like flying needles!

A savage glint flashed in Xiao Beixuan's eyes, and he immediately activated his inner technique, intending to forcibly plunder Gu Sheng's vital energy, which he considered to be a peerless treasure, through the Soul-Seizing Silk!

"Suck it for me!"

However, the scene of his blood and qi surging as he had envisioned did not occur.

He was greeted by a cold, low shout from Gu Sheng.

"Since you want to smoke, then you can smoke as much as you want!"

"Burn!"

boom--! ! !
The blood and qi barrier that was originally like crimson gold and glazed glass suddenly erupted with a raging golden divine flame! This flame was no ordinary fire, but was formed by the instantaneous burning of Gu Sheng's blood and qi, which was extremely pure and had fused the life force of the Longevity Path and the origin of the Glazed Golden Body!
Golden flames shot into the sky, their temperature terrifyingly high, scorching and distorting the surrounding air, creating crackling explosions! The entire sky above Phoenix Town seemed to instantly transform into a golden ocean of flames!

That extremely yang and powerful aura, capable of burning everything, even made Gu Yuanyuan, who was watching from afar, feel as if she were in a furnace. Her little face was bathed in golden light, and she even felt breathless!
"What?! This...this is...Qi and Blood Transformed into Flame?! How is this possible?!"

Even the usually composed Xia Wuyou couldn't help but gasp in shock, his old face filled with utter astonishment! Cultivating one's own blood and qi to the point of materialization was already incredibly difficult, but to ignite it and transform it into such a violent and blazing divine flame was simply unheard of! What terrifying control over one's own blood and qi would this require, and what immense and vast life force would it need to sustain it?!
Even Gu Yuanyuan felt that the Daoist essence of Bi Shen Dao, which had already been integrated into her skull, was becoming more pronounced and active due to the pull of this supreme Yang Qi and blood.

She quickly cleared her mind of all distractions and focused intently on the earth-shattering battle, not wanting to miss a single detail.

"Ah!! Bastard!!"

Xiao Beixuan let out a shrill scream! His countless meticulously crafted Yuan-seizing threads, the moment they came into contact with the golden blood flames, were instantly ignited and burned, just like hair thrown into a raging fire!
A scorching, violent backlash, imbued with purifying power, surged into his body through the invisible connection, burning his meridians and demonic energy!
He made a decisive move, severing all ties with the Yuan-Seizing Silk without hesitation. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his breathing became disordered for a moment.

This time, he not only lost the Yuan-Seizing Silk, but also a portion of the original demonic thought attached to it, a truly devastating loss!
"Gu! Qing! Yun!"

Xiao Beixuan flew into a rage, his eyes turning bloodshot as he stared intently at the gradually receding golden sea of ​​fire.

"How dare you... how dare you destroy my magic weapon!!"

Gu Sheng's golden blood flames slowly receded, revealing his figure again. His face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that burning his blood and qi had been a considerable burden for him, but his eyes remained calm as he responded indifferently, "He brought it upon himself."

"You're insane! You're a complete madman!"

Xiao Beixuan was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Gu Sheng, cursing him.

"Burning your own life essence like this, aren't you afraid of damaging your foundation and causing your cultivation to regress?!"

Gu Sheng looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot and softly uttered two words.

"Coward."

"you wanna die!"

Xiao Beixuan was completely enraged, his reason overwhelmed by his furious killing intent.

"Today, I, the young master, will make you wish you were dead!"

He grinned maliciously, as if he had found a reason to win.

"You've burned your essence blood, so your physical strength must be greatly affected! If it were before, with your strangely powerful physique, this young master might not have been able to hurt you, but now... the situation is different!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Beixuan's aura underwent another dramatic change! The already viscous true energy, as thick as blood, frantically contracted and condensed inward, and his body began to undergo a terrifying transformation!

"Crack! Click!"

Amidst a teeth-grinding cracking sound, ghastly white bone spurs suddenly bulged from his back, shoulders, elbows, knees, and other joints! Fine, hard, dark red scales rapidly covered his entire body like a tidal wave!

His fingernails grew wildly, turning black and sharp like eagle hooks! A demonic aura, far more violent, chaotic, and filled with primal bestiality than before, suddenly erupted!
Demonization!
Having completed his transformation, Xiao Beixuan seemed to have become a bloodthirsty demon from the ancient wilderness. He let out a roar that was not human, and with a stomp of his foot, the void exploded, turning into a blood-red afterimage. With a terrifying aura that could tear everything apart, he pounced on Gu Sheng!

Gu Sheng's eyes were as cold as ice. Facing Xiao Beixuan, who was charging at him after his demon transformation, he not only did not retreat half a step, but instead met the overwhelming ferocity with a simple punch!
This punch, without any flashy light or earth-shattering momentum, seemed to gather all the power in his body. The luster of the glassy golden body flowed on the fist, and the power of the four top-level Daoist rhymes was contained within it!
"Thump—!!!!!"

Fist and claw collided violently!

Like two ancient stars colliding, a terrifying roar far exceeding any previous collision suddenly erupted! A visible circular shockwave spread out from the two of them like a ring of destruction!
"Boom--!"

The buildings in Phoenix Town below, which were originally intact, collapsed and disintegrated in large sections under the overwhelming force of this impact, as if they had been crushed by an invisible giant hand! Bricks, stones, and wooden beams instantly turned into dust, and smoke and dust rose into the sky, as if the entire town had been completely wiped off the map by this blow!
In mid-air, where their fists and claws clashed, space itself violently distorted, emitting a mournful wail of unbearable strain. Destructive forces collided and annihilated each other in a frenzied explosion!
After a brief, almost negligible stalemate—

Xiao Beixuan's expression changed drastically! He clearly felt that the power coming from Gu Sheng's fist was vast, boundless, and indestructible, showing no signs of weakness despite the previous burning of his blood and qi! On the contrary, it carried a terrifying will that was unstoppable and capable of destroying all laws!
"How can it be?!"

He was horrified. His full-force demonic attack hadn't even budge his opponent in the slightest!
Having failed in his first attack, Xiao Beixuan, with his extensive combat experience, did not linger in the fight. Using the recoil from the collision, he retreated rapidly like a ghost, attempting to create distance.

However, a cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, his killing intent was resolute!
"Want to go?"

With a thought, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and the ancient and majestic Southern Emperor Sword materialized! At the same time, the eighteen acupoints that had already been opened within his body suddenly burst open! Like eighteen volcanoes erupting simultaneously, a vast and pure spiritual energy surged out, instantly merging with his own powerful true energy and blood!

"boom!"

A dazzling divine flame of spiritual energy ignited around him once more, but this time, it was no longer a flame of blood and qi, but a supreme radiance that combined the spiritual energy of the cave heaven, the power of the Glazed Golden Body, and the four top-level Daoist principles! He seemed to transform into a golden sun descending to earth!

"Northern Star Sky-Piercing Sword!"

With a cold shout, Gu Shengren merged with his sword, transforming into a dazzling golden rainbow that tore through the heavens and earth! This sword strike was incredibly fast, seemingly transcending the constraints of time and ignoring the barriers of space! Wherever the sword light passed, a dark crack that could not heal for a long time was plowed into the void!

As Xiao Beixuan was retreating rapidly, he only saw a flash of golden light before his eyes, and a deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body! He tried his best to dodge, but the golden rainbow had already reached him!
"Do not--!!!"

Xiao Beixuan let out a shrill, desperate scream!

"Pfft!"

The golden rainbow pierced through his demonic body in an instant, like a hot knife through butter! Terrifying power erupted within him!

"Bang!!!"

With a deafening roar, more than half of Xiao Beixuan's ferocious and enormous demonic body exploded in mid-air, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood flying everywhere! Only a small, broken half of his body remained, barely holding on with the remaining true energy, flying backward like tattered cotton, at a speed as fast as a shooting star!

His face was filled with extreme pain, resentment, and... a trace of unconcealed fear!

He never expected that even after using his trump card and activating his demonic transformation, he would still suffer such a severe injury from Gu Sheng's sword! How long has it been? This kid has already grown to such a terrifying level?!
……

However, just when Xiao Beixuan's physical body was mostly shattered and he seemed to be doomed, another unexpected change occurred!
Gu Sheng keenly sensed that just as his sure-kill sword was about to completely annihilate Xiao Beixuan's life force, an extremely subtle yet mysterious power containing a certain immortal and filthy essence suddenly emerged from the depths of Xiao Beixuan's mangled body. Like the most resilient barrier, it actually weakened the destructive power of his sword by nearly 70%!
It was precisely because of the interference of this force that Xiao Beixuan's physical body was shattered, while his most crucial head and some of his core organs were preserved!

Then, something even more chilling happened!

All that could be seen was Xiao Beixuan's remaining half-body, including his intact, ferocious-looking head, where the flesh at the severed points began to writhe and grow wildly! Countless buds of flesh intertwined and extended like living tentacles, bones regenerated, internal organs remodeled... (End of Chapter)
