Chapter 230 Showing Strength
For the camps of good and evil, this battle between geniuses is an opportunity to eliminate hostile geniuses, but for the geniuses participating in this battle between geniuses, obtaining the treasures in the battle is the first priority.

Eliminating hostile geniuses is in the interests of the camp, while obtaining treasures is related to one's own interests.

Therefore, when there is an opportunity to obtain treasures, no one will hesitate, and Gu Mo is no exception. Killing the genius of the Demon Sect is his responsibility as a disciple of the Dayan Sword Sect, but this does not prevent him from obtaining treasures in the battle of geniuses.

Only by obtaining more treasures can we improve our combat power and kill more geniuses of the Demon Sect.

This time, the golden treasure chest is guarded by a 4th-level demon king, which makes it very difficult to obtain. This is only Gu Mo. If it were any other genius, they would probably run away when they saw a 4th-level demon king.

The geniuses who can participate in the battle of geniuses have the strength to fight against ordinary Jindan cultivators. However, this is only a cross-level battle at the Jindan level. To achieve a Jindan battle against a Yuanying, only those who have mastered the true teachings of the top sects can do it.

But those true teachings are only for fighting against Nascent Soul. It is also extremely difficult to defeat Nascent Soul, let alone kill it.

"Senior Brother Lin, the Wild Boar Demon King is coming. Should we leave quickly?" Ming Yueyue looked at the approaching Wild Boar Demon King with a nervous expression. The powerful aura of the demon king made Ming Yueyue very nervous.

"Senior, how can I get the golden treasure chest on you?" Gu Mo asked the wild boar demon king.

If you have to kill the wild boar king to get the golden treasure chest, the difficulty is a bit too high. If it is the highest jade treasure chest, such difficulty is not a problem, but if the golden treasure chest is also of this difficulty, it is a bit unreasonable.

So, Gu Mo directly asked about the conditions for obtaining the golden treasure chest.

"Want the treasure chest? Just defeat me." The wild boar demon king stared at the tiny Gu Mo. This was what the human warrior who had stuck the treasure chest to his body told him.

As long as he feels he is no match for his opponent, he can abandon the treasure chest. Then, the restrictions on him will disappear and he will be sent out of the island directly.

If the Wild Boar King does not want to abandon the treasure chest, he can do so, but the injuries on his body will not be able to heal due to the effect of the ban. At that time, the Wild Boar King's injuries will continue to accumulate until he is exhausted to death.

How to make the choice depends entirely on the Wild Boar Demon King himself, whether to protect himself or fight to the death.

"really!"

Hearing the words of the Wild Boar Demon King, Gu Mo nodded. If it was just a matter of defeating him, the difficulty would be relatively appropriate.

"Oh my god, is Lin Wu going to challenge the Demon King?"

Seeing that Gu Mo not only did not leave the demon king but instead took the initiative to confront him, the cultivators outside guessed what Gu Mo would do next.

"Challenging the Demon King is a symbol of top-level true teachings. Can Lin Wu really do it?" Many people expressed doubts about this.

Only the top disciples of the top sects have enough strength and foundation to challenge the Demon King across a major level.

Although Gu Mo had shown strong strength before, he was after all from a low-tier Nascent Soul sect like the Dayan Sword Sect. Compared with the true disciples of those top sects, he should still be inferior.

"Well, human boy, I will give you a chance to regret it now." The Wild Boar Demon King stared at Gu Mo and did not take action immediately because the human monk in front of him felt more dangerous than the two human monks who had confronted him here before.

"No, please teach me!"

If he just wants to defeat him, Gu Mo is still somewhat confident in the strength of this incarnation. Although, he will have to reveal many cards in this battle, but if he can get the golden treasure chest, the treasures in it will definitely allow Gu Mo's combat power to be raised to another level.

By then, even if the trump card is exposed, it won’t be a big problem.

"act recklessly!"

Gu Mo's refusal to retreat also made the Wild Boar Demon King very angry. As a demon king, it was obviously impossible for him to retreat. So, now the only option was to fight.

It just didn't believe that a human cultivator at the Jindan realm could defeat it.

As the Boar Demon King roared, the surging demonic power burst out from the Boar Demon King's body, turning into a layer of khaki armor covering the Boar Demon King. This is the Boar Demon King's innate spell, which can greatly enhance its own defense.

Once this move is used, it will be more difficult to defeat the Wild Boar Demon King. If there is not enough strong attack power, it will be difficult to break the Wild Boar Demon King's defense.

Unfortunately, the strongest point of Gu Mo's swordsman incarnation is his attack power.

"bring it on!"

Gu Mo summoned his flying sword, and in an instant a big sun appeared in the void. That was the big sun sword intent that Gu Mo burst out with all his strength. At the same time, the 12 sword pills in his body quickly formed the Twelve Sword Evils of Dutian formation. Facing the 4th level demon king, if Gu Mo wanted to hurt the opponent, the strength of the attack had to reach at least the Nascent Soul level.

As for defeating the wild boar demon king who cast a defensive spell, the general level of Yuanying level attack was not enough. Therefore, Gu Mo continued to increase the stakes.

Twelve bamboo swords were controlled by Gu Mo and flew out, also forming the Twelve Sword Evils of Dutian formation. The two formations combined into one, causing Gu Mo's aura to surge instantly.

"How can he be so strong? How can his soul and body withstand such power?" Feeling the powerful aura on Gu Mo, the Wild Boar Demon King's expression suddenly changed. This was a force that was enough to hurt it, and it was still in a state of full defense.

The Wild Boar Demon King couldn't understand how a Jindan cultivator could control such a power beyond his own limit, but the opponent's body didn't collapse.

There are many ways to increase the limit of one's own strength, including various elixirs, magic weapons, and secret techniques, but there is an upper limit to all of these, and this upper limit is the strength of one's soul and body.

If the soul is not strong enough, the increased power cannot be controlled and will collapse directly. If the body is not strong enough, the power that exceeds the body's own limits will make it unbearable.

But these did not seem to appear on Gu Mo, because Gu Mo practiced Qi Chunde's method of focusing the soul, which could temporarily improve the level of the soul. As for the physique, Gu Mo had been using the 4th-level sun essence to practice the spirit forging technique. At this moment, the physique of Gu Mo's incarnation had definitely reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul level.

The spirit, soul and body are both at the Nascent Soul level, so one can naturally harness the power of the Nascent Soul level.

Even if other true disciples can unleash such power, as long as their spirit, soul and body are not up to standard, they can only launch an attack of this magnitude once.

However, Gu Mo, whose spirit, soul and physique have met the standards, can perform the skill continuously. Of course, he can only do it a few times in a row. After all, attacks of this level consume too much energy.

Even if Gu Mo's incarnation had 12 sword pills, and his strength was 12 times that of the same level, he couldn't hold on for many seconds.

But the outcome of a fight between strong men is just a matter of a few moves. Gu Mo did not choose to test the wild boar demon king, but instead used all his strength when he attacked. After all, ordinary tests would be meaningless to a demon king who was at a higher realm.

Gu Mo's power was raised to the limit, and the sun transformed by the sword intent turned into a golden crow. Moreover, the golden crow was clearer and more solid than before. The extreme yang power brought by the sun's brilliance burned everything around. "Is this the legendary Great Sun Sword Intent that is stronger than the Extreme Yang Sword Intent?" Ming Yueyue looked at Gu Mo in the sky, and was shocked.

However, it was not only Ming Yueyue who was shocked. All the cultivators who paid attention to Gu Mo were shocked by the terrifying fighting power that Gu Mo suddenly displayed.

Who says that Lin Wu from Dayan Sword Sect is not as good as the true disciples of those top sects? How can he not be inferior? He is clearly better than those true disciples of the top sects.

"Go to hell!"

Feeling the Golden Crow emitting the most yang aura, the Wild Boar Demon King also recovered from his shock and quickly launched an attack. Immediately, the Wild Boar Demon King's huge body, like a mountain, rushed towards Gu Mo with powerful oppression.

Even though this is just a simple collision, it is the Wild Boar King's most powerful means of attack and is extremely powerful.

The Wild Boar Demon King used his best attack method, which showed how much pressure Gu Mo brought to the Wild Boar Demon King at this moment.

Originally, the Wild Boar Demon King wanted to wait for the human monk in front of him to take action first. After all, it had cast defensive spells and was confident that no one could break its defense.

But the power displayed by Gu Mo at this moment made the Wild Boar Demon King somewhat unconfident in his own defense, and he prepared to strike first.

If any other genius were to be oppressed by the wild boar king's huge body rushing towards him, they would definitely feel suffocated and desperate, but Gu Mo's soul, physique and strength had already reached the Nascent Soul level at this moment, so he was naturally not afraid of such oppression.

"Great Sun Golden Crow Sword!"

Without hesitation, Gu Mo swung out the fire-type semi-spiritual sword in his hand. With the blessing of this semi-spiritual sword, the power of the Golden Crow actually increased.

Then, all of this turned into an extremely hot sword light, gently brushing past the rushing wild boar demon king.

"boom!"

As the sword flashed, the armor on the Wild Boar Demon King's body shattered instantly. However, the armor was worthy of being the Wild Boar Demon King's innate magic and was indeed very powerful.

Although the armor was broken, the power of Gu Mo's sword was also consumed by the armor. The only remaining power left a small wound on the huge wild boar demon king. Such an injury was at most a scratch.

If it was any other true disciple, he would have tried his best to launch this powerful attack, but would only have broken the Wild Boar King's defense. After that, because of the forced use of the extreme attack, his own state would have become weak, and he would have lost the battle.

But Gu Mo is different. Although this sword consumes a huge amount of energy, Gu Mo can still strike again with the sword. This is the benefit of having a spirit, soul and physique that are up to standard and being able to control the powerful force in the body.

"You win this time!"

Seeing that Gu Mo was about to strike out with the second sword, the Wild Boar Demon King decisively threw the golden treasure chest on his body to Gu Mo. His own defense was broken, and the Wild Boar Demon King had to take on the next sword by himself.

Although the Wild Boar Demon King felt that this sword could not kill it, it could definitely seriously injure it, and then it might have a chance to counterattack.

But if the treasure chest is not handed over, the Wild Boar King’s injuries cannot be recovered. Even if he succeeds in counterattacking, how can he face other enemies with his seriously injured body?

Compared to chance, life is obviously more important, so the wild boar demon king decisively abandoned the golden treasure chest. Under such circumstances, it abandoned the treasure chest, and it was thought that the powerful human monk would not say anything.

After the Wild Boar King threw out the treasure chest, he was also directly teleported out of the island. At this point, the Wild Boar King’s mission was completed.

"Ran!"

Seeing the Wild Boar Demon King disappear, Gu Mo was stunned, but as long as the important golden treasure chest was not gone, it was okay. Immediately, Gu Mo gathered his strength and came to the golden treasure chest.

"Ju, actually won, incredible!"

As the Wild Boar Demon King dropped the treasure chest and disappeared, all the people outside were shocked. There actually was a genius who defeated the 4th level Demon King in a one-on-one situation.

In fact, to challenge the demon king, you can join forces. If several true disciples join forces, there is still hope to defeat the demon king. This is also the correct way to set up this challenge, but Gu Mo defeated the demon king on his own.

"Speaking of this Lin Wu, it seems like it has only been not long since he was promoted to the Golden Core realm." Suddenly, someone remembered Gu Mo's information.

As soon as these words were spoken, the exclamations stopped abruptly. The fighting power displayed by Gu Mo was so strong that everyone regarded Gu Mo as a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Golden Core.

Now everyone remembered that this person was not at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage, but at the Golden Core Initial Stage. If a Golden Core Initial Stage person could defeat a 4th level demon king, then when he reached the Golden Core Great Perfection stage, wouldn't he be able to kill a Nascent Soul?

It is said that a genius can only be considered to have grown up after he reaches the Nascent Soul stage. However, Gu Mo has shown such strong combat power that when he reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords will have to avoid him.

What if, once he enters the Nascent Soul stage, no one will be able to do anything to him except the Divine Transformation Master?

Countless associations emerged in everyone's mind. Of course, only Xuan Tianhen knew how difficult it was for his disciple to enter the Nascent Soul stage.

12 sword pills, 12 heavenly tribulations, just thinking about it makes people despair. Qi Chunde from Shennong Valley, who survived two Nascent Soul tribulations, already attracted everyone's attention. If his disciple can survive 2 heavenly tribulations, even the God Transformation Venerable would probably not be able to sit still.

However, even if he was only at the Jindan stage, Xuan Tianhen felt that his disciple's combat power was a little too strong. The attack just now did not seem like an attack with all his strength, and he even had enough energy left to launch a second attack.

The stronger his disciple's strength was, the happier Xuan Tianhen was, but at the same time, he was also filled with worry, because he could already imagine that at this moment, the Demon Sect was definitely discussing a plan on how to kill Gu Mo.

Xuan Tianhen's guess was very accurate. Although Gu Mo had performed very well before, the Demon Sect felt that he was still a step behind the true disciples. Therefore, the Demon Sect was not in a hurry to take action. Anyway, their true disciples could kill Gu Mo.

Let your own true disciple develop well first, and don’t go looking for trouble with Gu Mo who has a godly equipment at the beginning.

But now as Gu Mo's true strength is revealed, the Demon Sect panicked instantly. Moreover, Gu Mo now has the golden treasure chest. With the help of the treasures in the golden treasure chest, his strength will be further improved.

"Let's use our trump card. Now the top priority is to get rid of Lin Wu." There was actually nothing much to discuss with the Demon Sect's high-ranking officials. Getting rid of Gu Mo was already a must.

But thinking of the strength that Gu Mo had just displayed, in order to get rid of Gu Mo, the Demon Sect had no choice but to use its trump cards, which were originally prepared for the true disciples of the three righteous sects.

But Gu Mo's threat is too great, so the Demon Sect can only deal with Gu Mo first.
