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

He reached out and gently ruffled Qin Ling'er's hair, speaking softly.

"Since it's useful to you, that's the best outcome. This item is yours."

Qin Ling'er's eyes immediately lit up with a bright light, and she nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Thank you, Master!"

She carefully put away the spirit fetus as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Just as Gu Sheng and Qin Ling'er were talking—

Boom!!!

The entire secret realm suddenly trembled violently without warning! It wasn't just a localized area, but the entire secret realm was shaking wildly! The pale purple light in the sky instantly became chaotic, the distant mountains groaned under the strain, the earth cracked, and the rivers overflowed!

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, terrifying spatial fluctuation, seemingly originating from the depths of the endless void and filled with an aura of destruction and chaos, surged forth like a flood bursting its banks from the point of connection between the secret realm and the outside world!

The intensity and horror of the fluctuations far surpassed the aftershocks of any previous battle, even causing Gu Sheng to feel a chill in his heart. It was as if two invisible, terrifying giant hands, capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon, were engaged in an unimaginable and fierce collision and confrontation in the void outside the secret realm!

A battle between holy realms! And it's no ordinary clash between holy realms!

Gu Sheng and Qin Ling'er looked up at the same time, gazing in the direction from which the fluctuations came, their expressions instantly becoming extremely solemn.

The terrifying spatial fluctuations and destructive aura emanating from the void made Gu Sheng instantly realize that this was no ordinary Venerable Realm or even a common early Saint Realm cultivator could cause such a disturbance!

Outside this secret realm, the only ones capable of fiercely clashing are the incarnation of Tantai Mingjing, who just left, and Yuwen Ku, the holy elder of the Divine Profound Holy Land!

Sure enough, the moment this thought arose, a slightly hurried yet calm mental transmission, like a sharp arrow piercing through the chaotic fluctuations, precisely pierced Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness. It was Tantai Mingjing's voice.

“Gu Sheng, I was careless! That old ghost Shen Xuan has sharp eyes; he actually recognized the origin of the spirit girl beside you—she is not an ordinary artifact spirit or remnant soul, but a ‘spirit of the innate spirit embryo’ that is at a higher level than the ‘innate spirit embryo’, has completed a true transformation, and possesses complete intelligence!”
Such things are far more alluring to those in the Saint Realm, especially those stuck at a bottleneck, than ordinary sacred objects! The old ghost has already succumbed to greed and intends to seize them!

Tantai Mingjing spoke very quickly, indicating that the battle on the other side was also extremely intense.

"You must not stay here any longer! Quickly leave with me and head to the territory of my Tantai family. Only with the protection of our ancestor there can you be safe! Do not resist!"

Before the words were even finished, the void around Gu Sheng and the five people beside him—Qin Ling'er, Tantai Xueli, Gu Ningshuang, Shen Qingtan, and Qin Yurou—suddenly began to twist and fluctuate violently! A vast, gentle yet irresistible spatial force, like an invisible tentacle, instantly enveloped all six of them!
"Tantai Mingjing! How dare you be distracted while fighting me, forcibly shattering space to send these juniors away?! Stay here!"

The furious roar of the old man Yuwen Ku seemed to penetrate through layers of spatial barriers, carrying endless killing intent and exasperation!
Immediately afterwards, the void above everyone's heads seemed to be violently torn apart by two invisible giant hands, suddenly splitting open a terrifying rift that was thousands of feet long, pitch black and deep, with its edges constantly spewing out chaotic flows of destructive energy!
A destructive spatial storm, ten or even a hundred times stronger than before, poured down from the crack like a dam bursting. Wherever it passed, the stable space of the secret realm shattered and vanished like paper! The sky and earth changed color, and all things wailed, as if the end of the world had arrived!

This was clearly the work of a Saint Realm expert who was enraged and intended to interrupt the spatial teleportation, and even annihilate Gu Sheng and the others in the spatial turbulence!

"Hmph! Yuwen Ku, one of my avatars is enough to kill you! Why bother?"

Tantai Mingjing's clear, cold voice, tinged with arrogance and disdain, resounded through the void. Without her making any move, the gentle white light enveloping Gu Sheng and his group of six suddenly became incredibly dazzling and solid! Within the white light, mirror-like light flowed, seemingly reflecting countless illusory worlds, forming an unbreakable, absolute barrier!

"Crack! Boom—!"

The destructive spatial storm crashed down and slammed into the white light barrier, unleashing a terrifying roar powerful enough to shatter eardrums and tear apart souls! The white light barrier shook violently, its surface rippling with countless waves, yet it ultimately protected the six people inside, preventing them from being affected by the destructive force in the slightest!

Then Tantai Mingjing's voice rang out again, filled with determination.

"go!"

"Om-!"

The white light suddenly contracted inward, then exploded with a roar! An unimaginably powerful spatial teleportation force was unleashed, forcibly tearing apart the local space that had been disrupted by Yuwen Ku and was filled with destructive fluctuations. It carried Gu Sheng and the other six people, transforming them into a dazzling stream of light, and instantly disappeared into a stable spatial passage that had appeared out of nowhere!
At the same time that Gu Sheng and the others were forcibly teleported away, in the void battlefield outside the secret realm.

Tantai Mingjing, the embodiment of unparalleled elegance, stood in mid-air, her body shimmering with mirror light, as if she were independent of this chaotic void.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a soft yet vast spatial Daoist aura swept through like a spring breeze, quickly calming the secret realm space that had been violently turbulent and on the verge of collapse due to the intense collision, preventing it from collapsing completely and endangering any innocent people or resources that might not have had time to evacuate.

She calmly gazed at the void opposite her, where Yuwen Ku, the Saint Realm elder of the Divine Profound Holy Land, was staring intently at her with a livid face and fluctuating aura, his eyes filled with shock, anger, greed, and a hint of disbelief.

"Yuwen Ku, in order to seize the opportunities of the younger generation, you don't even care about the lives of your own holy land disciples? Isn't Yuwen Ruo a direct descendant of your lineage?"

Tantai Mingjing spoke calmly, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ku's facial muscles twitched, but his eyes showed no pity for his junior, only extreme indifference and calculation. He spoke hoarsely.

"What is a mere candidate for holy son compared to the 'innate spiritual embryo' that has already transformed and possesses complete intelligence?"
If I could obtain the spirit of this spiritual embryo, using its pure origin and spirituality as a guide to help me glimpse the threshold of becoming a Saint King, let alone Yuwen Ruo, even sacrificing countless disciples would be worthwhile! Such a fortune is a once-in-ten-thousand-years occurrence! Tantai Mingjing, you will not keep it all to yourself!

His words were filled with an extreme thirst for power and an undisguised ruthlessness.

Tantai Mingjing sighed softly, whether she was lamenting the greed of people's hearts or the indifference of the sacred land's tradition.

"Truly ruthless. In that case, there's nothing more to say."

She said no more, and the mirror-like light around her suddenly became incredibly sharp! She gently pressed her jade-like hand forward!
"Mirror Heaven Shattered!"

The void, spanning a thousand miles, seemed to instantly transform into countless enormous, mutually reflecting mirrors! Yuwen Ku's figure was reflected in each mirror, and then, all the mirrors, along with their reflections, simultaneously emitted a "crack" sound, unable to withstand the pressure, and then—shattered with a deafening roar!
It wasn't that space itself shattered, but rather that Yuwen Ku's "traces of existence" and "qi imprints" were forcibly "shattered" and "stripped away" in this void mirror domain! This was a bizarre attack involving causality and the level of existence!
"puff--!"

Yuwen Ku was struck as if by a heavy blow, violently spitting out a mouthful of pale golden holy blood! The obscure and cold spiritual energy around him instantly became chaotic, and his aura weakened at a visible speed! He looked at Tantai Mingjing in utter horror, his voice trembling. "You...you actually...have already stepped halfway into the Saint King Realm?! Your Tantai family...have been hiding it so well!"

After unleashing this attack, the avatar of Tantai Mingjing dimmed considerably, its form becoming more ethereal and transparent, as if it might vanish into thin air at any moment. Clearly, using an avatar to perform a divine power involving high-level rules consumed a great deal of energy. Yet, her expression remained calm, as if that earth-shattering strike had been merely a casual gesture.

"It's too late to know now."

Tantai Mingjing said indifferently.

"Hahaha!"

Yuwen Ku wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, his laughter filled with resentment and a hint of arrogance.

"Tantai Mingjing! Even though your true form has one foot in the Saint King realm and your power is boundless, what you have come here now is ultimately just an avatar! Moreover, after the battle just now and forcibly sending away those juniors, how much power does this avatar have left? You think you can kill me with an avatar that is about to collapse? Wishful thinking!"

His eyes gleamed with cunning and ruthlessness as he spoke sharply.

"Moreover, I have already sent the news of the 'Spirit of the Innate Spirit Embryo' back to the Holy Land through a secret method! Even if you can destroy this avatar of mine today, or even trap my true self for a moment, so what?"

If the news leaks out, do you think the other holy lands in Zhongzhou, especially those old monsters also stuck at their bottlenecks, will sit idly by? That spirit embryo is an unparalleled treasure to any holy realm! At that time, the whole world will be your enemy. Can your Tantai family... protect it?!

These words were a blatant threat! Using the threat of revealing Qin Ling'er's secret and attracting the covetousness of the entire Central Plains Holy Land as leverage, they forced Tantai Mingjing to hesitate before taking any action!

A chilling murderous intent finally flashed across Tantai Mingjing's beautiful eyes, which were as calm as an ancient pool.

She herself had important matters to attend to and was unable to leave immediately to come here. Otherwise, she would have definitely annihilated Yuwen Ku's true form here today to prevent future troubles!
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Yuwen Ku, believing he had grasped Tantai Mingjing's weakness and secretly plotting how to escape or even turn the tables—

"Oh? Since when did the Divine Profound Holy Land become so daring as to threaten people with 'the whole world being our enemy'?"

A clear, cold female voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, suddenly rang out in this chaotic void.

Immediately afterward, the void beside Tantai Mingjing appeared.

With a "rip," it was easily torn apart! A tall, slender woman in simple red clothes, with a stunningly beautiful face and a spirited air, stepped out. It was none other than Li Yanxin, the second elder of the Burning Heaven Holy Land!

She first glanced at the slightly dimmed avatar of Tantai Mingjing beside her, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then her gaze, like two burning flames, fell on Yuwen Ku, whose expression had suddenly changed.

Yuwen Ku's pupils shrank sharply. He had never seen Li Yanxin before, but the undisguised, fiery and domineering aura of the Saint Realm emanating from her, as well as her distinctive red robes, made him instantly guess the origin of the newcomer, and his heart sank!
"You are... from the Burning Heaven Holy Land?!"

Yuwen Ku's voice was hoarse, filled with surprise and doubt. The Burning Heaven Holy Land was incredibly powerful, ranking among the top five holy lands in the Central Plains, far surpassing his Divine Profound Holy Land.

More importantly, the Burning Heaven Holy Land has always had a close relationship with the Tantai family, especially the Wanbao Hall, which has a very deep cooperative relationship with them!
Li Yanxin's expression was calm, as if he were merely stating a trivial matter.

"I am Li Yanxin, the Second Elder of the Burning Heaven Holy Land. You are Yuwen Ku, right? The avatar of Palace Master Tantai may be too exhausted to kill you for the time being. However... if my true self, at the peak of the Saint Realm, were to come in person, I wonder... would you be willing to give it a try?"

The Saint Realm Peak True Body himself has arrived?!
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ku felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! While Tantai Mingjing, with one foot in the Saint King realm, was indeed formidable, he was ultimately an avatar with limited power. But the Second Elder of the Burning Heaven Holy Land before him was a genuine peak Saint Realm expert in person! His combat strength was far beyond that of a heavily weakened avatar!

"Li Yanxin! My Divine Profound Holy Land has no connection with your Burning Heaven Holy Land! Why are you interfering in this matter? Does the Burning Heaven Holy Land also intend to become an enemy of my Divine Profound Holy Land?!"

Yuwen Ku shouted, his voice sharp but his tone weak, attempting to exert pressure in the name of the Holy Land.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Yanxin's lips.

"The Divine Profound Holy Land? Ha, in my eyes, it's nothing but a third-rate place. As for why I'm interfering..."

She paused, her gaze seemingly piercing through the void as she looked in the direction Gu Sheng and the others had left, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable air.

“My little saintess personally requested that I protect Gu Sheng’s safety.”

Those he wants to protect are naturally also under my protection.

Is this reason enough?

Little Saintess? Gu Sheng? Yuwen Ku instantly realized that the root of the problem lay with that strange Sect Realm youth! How could he have such a deep connection with the Little Saintess of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, attracting the personal protection of a peak Saint Realm elder of the Burning Heaven Holy Land?!

His last shred of hope vanished, and he knew he was likely doomed. Whether for the sake of the spirit embryo or to silence him, neither Tantai Mingjing nor Li Yanxin would let him leave!

"Very well! What a fine Burning Heaven Holy Land! What a fine Tantai family! You've colluded and gone too far!"

A hint of madness flashed in Yuwen Ku's eyes. He knew that begging for mercy was useless. Only by fighting to the death could he perhaps have a glimmer of hope!
He stopped talking nonsense, bit his tongue hard, spat out a mouthful of essence blood containing the origin, and rapidly formed hand seals. The cold and obscure spiritual power in his body erupted completely like a volcano!

"Divine Mystery Technique: Myriad Souls Devour the God!"

Countless invisible spiritual spikes, seemingly formed from the wails of billions of wronged souls, rained down on Tantai Mingjing's avatar and Li Yanxin's true form!

At the same time, he transformed into a dim gray light that almost merged into the void, and suddenly retreated backward, attempting to use the cover of the mental attack to forcibly break through the void and escape!

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?" (End of Chapter)
