CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 61: GATHERING OF THE TEN UNUSUAL GU

The Cloud Sea Mountain Range was in constant turmoil.

The danger here rivaled that of the Mist Forest, and it housed terrifying creatures like the Mosquito Beast among the Ten Fiends. Only the Witch Tribe, who had settled here for generations, could barely survive in such a place.

Yet today, even those fierce beasts known as the Ten Fiends of the Cloud Sea were all prostrate in various places, fearfully gazing up at the sky.

Among the mountains, cultivators in strange attire knelt in unison, praying for divine protection. This was the local custom: whenever faced with inexplicable disasters, they would pray to the gods for peace.

Lin Jing activated the Four Sacred Diagrams, an Immortal Artifact, forcibly breaking into the Gu God Secret Realm and slaying two Void Profound Gu Cultivators, turning the Cloud Sea Mountain Range upside down...

"Whelp, you seek death." A thunderous shout came from the void.

The figure of an old man, monstrous in appearance, emerged, humanoid in form but almost devoid of human features.

Above his head, white hair like insect antennae fluttered, purple skin covered his entire body, dotted with irregular white spots, and even a non-human spiky long tail...

Boom!!!

Upon his appearance, a sweep of his tail sent a blood-red wind blade slashing through space. The Vermilion Bird Ink Beast spread its wings immediately to shield Lin Jing from the strike.

At the same time, several Ink Beasts surrounded the monster.

The Gu God... a fusion of the Gu God Sect Ancestor, looked coldly at the four Ink Beasts surrounding him. Faced with four Ink Beasts at the Asking level, he showed no concern, but gazed icily at the Wind Gu and Yang Gu seized by the Cyan Dragon Ink Beast and White Tiger Ink Beast.

"A bunch of useless things..."

Seeing the decline of the Gu God Sect, the Gu God sighed. After the first Sect Leader died, it assisted in creating the Ten Remarkable Gus for two purposes: to cultivate a group of strong followers for itself and to ensure the Gu God Sect could thrive for another ten thousand years without its presence.

But now, what was happening?

The Remarkable Gus were being snatched one after another; losing them would already be bad enough.

Now, someone even dared to snatch the Remarkable Gu right at their doorstep.

"Whelp, do you think relying on these four things can challenge me?"

The Gu God disdainfully eyed the four great Ink Beasts, sensing their essence. While these Ink Beasts appeared strong on the surface, their source... was actually tied to the young cultivator before him.

In other words, the ability of these Ink Beasts to fight depended entirely on the young cultivator in front of him.

In fact, as long as there was a way to bypass these Ink Beasts and kill the young cultivator, the battle could be completely ended.

So, there was nothing truly frightening.

"If this is all you can do, then die..."

As soon as the Gu God finished speaking, Lin Jing snorted coldly and shouted, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, save me, the Gu God wants to kill me!!"

Soon after, several more spatial rifts opened around them. A massive black-and-white whale appeared, swimming across the sky and clouds.

There was also a large, winged green dragon, like a giant lizard, slowly flying out of the void. As it appeared, the flora of the Cloud Sea Mountain Range seemed to encounter their emperor, offering up their Spiritual Qi.

Lastly, a little girl in a golden dragon robe stepped out, glaring unkindly at the Gu God...

"Is it you bullying the Demon Court Saint Child?"

Gu God: ?

The Gu God bared his teeth.

The Demon Emperor pointed at him and said, "Enough nonsense! Die for me."

The Demon Emperor finished speaking, and the three Asking Demon Emperors surged forward. Lin Jing wanted to intervene but had no chance and could only use the limited time to command the Ink Beasts to continue beating the Wind Gu and Yang Gu half to death.

The three Asking Demon Emperors joined forces, and the Gu God was no match. Before long, he severed an arm and chose to abandon his lair.

Seeing this, the Yin Yang Whale Emperor and Forest Sea Dragon Emperor shook their heads and tried to give chase.

The Demon Emperor, however, floated in mid-air, taking a deep breath and looking at Lin Jing.

"See, the Yin Yang Whale Emperor and Forest Sea Dragon Emperor are quite sincere, paying for their mistaken judgments by helping us destroy the Gu God Sect!"

Lin Jing hesitated, wanting to say, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, are you taking me for a fool?

However, Lin Jing had a discerning eye. He said, "Mainly because your majesty’s demon power is unmatched. If not for your swift recovery and breaking through, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

The Demon Emperor nodded: "Reason well spoken. Earlier, the previous-generation ancestor of the Gu God Sect had already been wiped out by us. Without its vessel, the Gu God’s strength is greatly reduced. However, killing the Gu God itself is not so simple."

"You possess the Ten Remarkable Gus; you should know... Even the Ten Remarkable Gus beneath the Gu God possess immortality and rebirth abilities. The Gu God, who endowed them with these powers, is an even more enigmatic existence."

"Next, the Gu God, greatly weakened, will likely undergo reincarnation and cultivate a new vessel, slowly recovering its strength. Although very difficult to kill completely, it will have a prolonged period of weakness... Ideally, we will find it during this time and repeatedly exterminute it." The Demon Emperor stroked her chin and said.

"In short, you don’t need to worry about this. Just take your Wind Gu and Yang Gu and return peacefully."

Lin Jing let out a wry smile and nodded. With the Ice Soul Gu awaking, it would likely feel like a festival.

It was still in the process of devouring and digesting the Golden Light Gu.

Meanwhile, during its devouring, Lin Jing successively acquired the Stone Man Gu, Yin Spirit Gu, Wind Plague Gu, and Yang Yuan Gu...

Among them, the effects of the Wind Plague Gu, Yin Spirit Gu, and Yang Yuan Gu were incredibly powerful, with each surpassing the other. If the Ice Soul Gu could subsequently devour them all, its own strength would again see a tremendous increase.

The Wind Plague Gu, its poison colorless and odorless, could spread through the air. Anyone infected would become a puppet, under the control of the Wind Plague Gu.

The Yin Spirit Gu, its poison was the poison of the Heart Demon. A mere glance at the Yin Spirit Gu’s holder would result in continuous disturbance by the Heart Demon, ultimately resulting in enslavement of the mind.

The Yang Yuan Gu could poison enemies through their bloodline. To poison a Void Profound Ancestor, one only needed to capture his descendants, eliminating the need for a direct confrontation to administer the poison.

Besides the poisons, integrating with the three Remarkable Gus also brought various benefits to Gu Cultivators.

The Wind Plague Gu offered top-tier wind control abilities, comparable to possessing a Wind Spirit Body.

The Yin Spirit Gu greatly enhanced the Primordial Spirit, significantly increasing mental and spiritual power.

The Yang Yuan Gu was the most unique, enhancing the bloodline and reproductive capabilities of the Gu Cultivator’s vessel. It allowed the Yang Yuan Gu’s possessor to produce many offspring inheriting some of their potential talents and, automatically during birth, planted a sub-Gu to ensure everlasting loyalty to oneself without betrayal...
