Only two or three breaths had passed!
A completely intact Xiao Beixuan, whose aura was even more ferocious than before, actually reappeared before Gu Sheng! Apart from his slightly pale face and a slight fluctuation in his demonic aura, he was exactly the same as before!

"Rebirth through a drop of blood?!"

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly realized, 'No, it's not true rebirth from a drop of blood, but rather rapid flesh and blood regeneration relying on the power of the Blood Demon's origin!'
It seems his entanglement with the Blood Demon Clan is far deeper than Huang Batian's simple symbiosis! Perhaps… he has already completely transformed a part of his essence into that of a Blood Demon!

Just as Gu Sheng was analyzing the origin of Xiao Beixuan's bizarre regenerative ability, the ferocious blood hands waving all around him did not stop. They continued to grab at him from all sorts of tricky angles, like a persistent leech, interfering with his movements.

Gu Sheng's inner energy transformed into a sword once more, like a sentient fish, precisely severing the harassing blood hands, but his offensive was inevitably slowed down slightly.

Xiao Beixuan was clearly aware of this as well. While maintaining the regeneration of his flesh and blood, he still distracted himself by manipulating the Blood Hand to interfere, making it difficult for Gu Sheng to seize the moment when he was at his weakest after regeneration to finish him off, thus gaining a precious chance to catch his breath.

After completely regenerating his flesh and blood, Xiao Beixuan's demonized form seemed to become even more distorted and detached from human form.

His flesh beneath his ribs writhed violently, accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound, and two more demonic arms covered in dark red scales and with sharp nails were squeezed out!

At this moment, he possessed four arms! He looked more like a multi-armed Asura crawling out of a sea of ​​blood!
Gu Sheng noticed that every time Xiao Beixuan used this extraordinary regeneration or mutation ability, the human aura around him weakened, and his demonic characteristics became more pronounced. Clearly, the price of this power was that his human bloodline was being rapidly eroded and replaced by the power of the Blood Demon!
We can't let him go on!

Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he quietly activated the insight technique he had created in his previous life—the Sky-Gazing Technique!

His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, ignoring the scales and demonic energy on Xiao Beixuan's body, and landing directly on his heart! In his "vision," a very secret and special acupoint had been opened up within Xiao Beixuan's heart!

Within that acupoint, there was not a beating heart, but rather a churning, dense, and impenetrable aura of pure, pungent blood, like a sea of ​​blood! Its sheer volume was astonishing!

'The essence of tens of thousands of people!' Gu Sheng instantly deduced the approximate size of the sea of ​​blood, a chill creeping into his heart. 'This is probably all the essence he's contributed from those 'spies' he's secretly cultivated over the years in the Great Wilderness City and the surrounding areas, and who he's now personally harvesting! It's precisely because of this massive reserve of essence that he can use his regenerative abilities so recklessly!'

At this moment, Xiao Beixuan, who had just completed his regeneration and was now even more terrifying, simultaneously swung his four demonic hands! Blood flames surged on his arms as he viciously grabbed at Gu Sheng from a distance!

"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Four massive, dark red claw marks, crisscrossing each other and exuding an aura of tearing and decay, instantly enveloped the airspace where Gu Sheng was located, like a death net from the underworld!

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, and the Southern Emperor Sword in his hand emitted a clear and melodious sword sound. The sword body flowed with the aura of the imperial way and swept out horizontally!

"The Emperor's Supreme Power Shakes the World!"

The dazzling sword light spread like golden waves, colliding fiercely with the four claw marks and shattering them into countless scattered blood-red light spots.

Just as the claw marks shattered, Gu Sheng's figure blurred as he unleashed the movement technique "Shadow Escape" from the Eastern Emperor's Secret Realm. His speed suddenly soared, like an arrow merging into the shadows, instantly closing the distance between him and Xiao Beixuan!
Xiao Beixuan's expression changed when he saw Gu Sheng approaching so rapidly.

As he rapidly retreated, trying to create distance again, he frantically swung his four arms in alternating motions, leaving a trail of sharp, bloody claw marks like a sudden downpour, completely blocking all possible pursuit routes for Gu Sheng!

At the same time, strange, twisted, and ancient characters formed from viscous blood began to appear around him! These characters slowly rotated and surged around him, emitting a unique and unsettling rhythmic fluctuation, and an aura far more dangerous than any of his previous moves was rapidly brewing!
He was clearly driven to the brink by Gu Sheng and was beginning to prepare to use his real trump card!
Gu Sheng used his "Sky-Gazing Technique" to perceive the ancient characters formed from blood surging around Xiao Beixuan's body, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

These characters are twisted and ancient, exuding a wild and eerie aura that does not belong to this era. They are completely different from any rune system he knows, yet they are faintly connected to the filthy power of the Blood Demon Clan.

'This is definitely not a power that Xiao Beixuan himself can control! Behind him, besides the so-called 'Blood Ancestor,' could there be an even more ancient and terrifying existence secretly supporting him?' A thought flashed through Gu Sheng's mind like lightning, making him feel even colder.

Just as he was pondering, the blood-red light around Xiao Beixuan grew stronger and stronger, and the power of the blood-red claw marks swung by his four demonic arms was increasing steadily! From barely reaching the early stage of the Earth King Realm at the beginning, it quickly approached the threshold of the middle stage of the Earth King Realm! The sharp claw wind tore through the sky, carrying a shrill whistle that corroded the soul, and the offensive suddenly turned from the previous passive defense to a frenzied counterattack!

As Gu Sheng swung his Southern Emperor Sword, clearing away increasingly ferocious claw marks, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. 'So, they're finally going to reveal their true intentions?'

When Xiao Beixuan saw that Gu Sheng's face showed not panic but a mocking sneer, he felt a sudden unease for no reason.

Gu Sheng's growth rate over the past month has been truly astonishing. Every time he thought he had figured out the other party's trump card, the other party would always unleash an even more terrifying power.

This feeling of being out of control gave rise to an indescribable fear and irritability in his heart.

"We can't delay any longer! We must use the final measures to crush him completely!"

The last shred of reason in Xiao Beixuan's eyes was replaced by madness. He abruptly stopped his retreating figure, raised his four demonic arms high, and let out a hysterical roar filled with endless resentment and bloodlust.

"In the name of Xiao Beixuan, I offer the blood and souls of billions of living beings in this Great Wilderness City as a sacrifice! I respectfully beseech the ancient king slumbering on the other side of the long river of time to descend with your supreme will and assist me in slaying this fiend—!!!"

The roar seemed to contain some strange power of rules, piercing through the void and reaching some unknown and unpredictable distant place!
The moment the words fell—

"Boom!!!"

The countless ancient characters formed from blood around Xiao Beixuan suddenly erupted with blinding crimson light! All the characters instantly melted and converged, transforming into a viscous blood pillar with a diameter of over ten zhang, like a blood-red waterfall flowing backwards, soaring into the sky and directly piercing the top of the heavens!

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light!
The clouds in the sky seemed to have been splashed with thick blood, turning a chilling dark red! The entire world was shaking violently, the earth was cracking, and mountains were collapsing!

The space became extremely unstable, with fine black cracks appearing and disappearing in the void, making a "crackling" sound like shattering glass!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly from the primordial era, began to slowly seep out from the void, as if some unimaginable supreme being was about to forcefully break through the barriers of time and space and descend upon this place!
"Om..."

A thought, seemingly spanning endless years and carrying the weight of time and indifference, responded to Xiao Beixuan's sacrifice like a subtle ripple.

"Sacrifice...establishment...I...Tianmingzi...grant you..." Although this thought was faint, it carried a supreme majesty that transcended all living beings, clearly echoing in the depths of the souls of every being who sensed this fluctuation!
"not good!"

"It's an ancient, forbidden summoning technique!"

"Xiao Beixuan has gone mad! He wants to sacrifice the entire Great Wilderness City to summon the true demon sealed in the river of time!"

"Quick! Stop him!!"

In the depths of the Holy Academy within the Heavenly City of the Great Wilderness, those high-ranking officials who had been following the orders of the Academy Head and remaining inactive could no longer sit still, and they were all horrified!

They knew better than anyone how terrifying this ancient forbidden technique was. Once the will of the summoned "Ancient Monarch" truly descended, even just a trace of it would be enough to turn the entire Great Wilderness City into a death zone, and billions of lives would become sacrifices!

"Order! Great Wilderness City shall immediately enter the highest level of alert!"

"All high-ranking members of the Holy Academy and venerable members of all major families, heed my command! Stop the ancient true demon from descending at all costs!"

"Activate the prototype of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array'! Quickly!"

One urgent command after another, imbued with supreme authority, instantly spread throughout the core of the Great Wilderness City!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The next moment, thousands of dazzling streaks of light, like a meteor shower flying in reverse, suddenly shot into the sky from every corner of the inner city of the Great Wilderness City! Among them were terrifying auras of Venerable Realm experts, which shot straight into the sky like smoke, carrying a resolute killing intent, and rushed madly towards Phoenix Town!

"Gu boy! Get back now!!"

In the distance, Xia Wuyou, who was using his true energy to firmly protect Gu Yuanyuan, also changed his expression drastically. He could no longer hide and let out a deafening roar. His figure transformed into a gray light that tore through the sky and rushed towards the center of the battlefield at the fastest speed, trying to forcibly take Gu Sheng away!

At this moment, Gu Sheng, who was at the very center of the storm, also suddenly turned extremely ugly!

At the instant that the so-called "Heavenly Child" responded to his thoughts and the world began to change, fragmented and blurry memories flashed through his mind like lightning! The ancient characters formed from blood, the aura of filth and death summoned... gave him a strange sense of familiarity!
'This aura…this divine rune…I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before?!' A strong sense of unease and regret welled up inside him. 'Damn it! I was careless this time! I actually let him complete this sacrificial ritual!'

……

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Suspended beneath the towering pillar of blood, Xiao Beixuan felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the void, making his soul tremble. He let out a maniacal laugh, his voice filled with the ecstatic and twisted joy of revenge.

"Gu Sheng! Did you see that?! This is my true power! This is the power to crush you, to crush everything! The secret technique is complete, you are doomed to die today! Everyone in the Great Wilderness City will be buried with you! Hahaha!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter—

"Click——!!!"

A deafening roar, as if the very backbone of heaven and earth had been snapped, came from the blood-red sky above everyone's heads!
The sky, dyed a dark red, cracked inch by inch, like fragile glass, spreading out countless huge, bottomless black fissures! Then, a viscous, foul-smelling sea of ​​blood, seemingly formed from the resentment and filth of countless living beings, poured out of those fissures like a bursting dam!

A stench of blood shot into the sky, instantly filling the surrounding hundreds of miles, making people nauseous!
At the same time, that ancient, indifferent, and ruthless thought resounded once more, as if delivering a verdict.

"Those who blaspheme... shall be executed..."

The moment the words fell, an indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a mountain billions of feet high, or the weight of an entire star field, suddenly descended from beyond the sky and precisely locked onto Gu Sheng!

"Puff! Puff!"

From the direction of Great Wilderness City, the thousands of figures that were rapidly flying towards them were like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Those with slightly weaker cultivation didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist under the aftershocks of this vast pressure! Even the King Realm experts were all struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and falling from the sky like birds with broken wings!

Gu Sheng, who was the first to be hit, felt as if the space around him had instantly turned into solidified ice, imprisoning him in place so that he could not even move a finger!

"Crack...knock..."

A teeth-grinding cracking sound emanated from his crystal-clear golden body, comparable to a divine weapon of the Grandmaster realm! Under that irresistible and terrifying pressure, his proud and powerful physique was instantly covered with countless cracks, like a spider web! Precious blood, reddish-golden, seeped wildly from the numerous cracks like streams, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure!
"Uh……!"

Gu Sheng groaned, his face turning deathly pale. His blood and qi surged, and his internal organs seemed to shift. A wave of excruciating pain swept over his entire body!
"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Gu Sheng's miserable state, Xiao Beixuan laughed even more wildly and unrestrainedly, his voice sharp and piercing.

"Gu Sheng! No matter how talented you are, no matter how many fortuitous encounters you have had, before the true power of the ancient times, you are nothing more than a slightly stronger ant! Arrogance is your path to death today! I, the young master, have said that you will die today! Not only will you die, but everyone in this Great Wilderness City will be buried with you!!"

Above the sky, the cracks, like shattered glass, continued to widen, with more and more fragments falling away. A gigantic, illusory figure, indescribably vast, was slowly emerging from behind the cracks.

Its height was unknown, perhaps tens of thousands of feet, as if it stood atop the heavens and treading upon the deepest abyss. Though its form was ethereal and hazy, its exact appearance obscured, its twisted and uncertain silhouette, filled with endless resentment and deathly stillness, exuded an eerie feeling that could freeze one's soul.
