His arms transformed into cleavers, slashing down at Gu Yu's head, the blades radiating energy.

"The power of the primordial spirit, awe and intimidation." Seeing the source armor coming at him, Gu Yu's eyes instantly turned gray, and a powerful aura of intimidation emanated from him.

The charging source armor stopped abruptly, and the pupils of the person inside the source armor became glazed over.

The black-clad Source Soldier suddenly appeared beside Source Armor and hugged him tightly.

Rumble...

With a loud bang, the source armor was instantly blasted into pieces.

Seeing the eight sets of Source Armor that had not yet recovered, Gu Yu moved swiftly and left into the distance.

He had no choice but to leave at this point; the time for the triple amplification was about to expire, and once it did, he wouldn't even be able to escape.

"He's escaped." At this moment, one of the Source Armors recovered and shouted instantly. A burst of energy shot out from behind him, and he instantly flew into the air, chasing after the direction Gu Yu had fled. The other Source Armors followed closely behind.

Gu Yu, who had escaped, suddenly found that the time amplified by three times had passed. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

The violent coughing caused Gu Yu's chest to heave. Even a person at the Vertebra Realm would be injured by a single strike of eight beams of light, let alone someone who had not yet reached the Vertebra Realm. Fortunately, his physical body was strong.

Once the triple boost was over, his speed slowed down considerably, and the eight Source Armors quickly caught up.

“He’s done for, kill him,” said a suit of Source Armor. “Our energy is running low, we need to finish this quickly.”

A suit of Source Armor appeared before Gu Yu after he had hidden himself. He transformed his arms into blades and slashed at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu quickly dodged the knife by sidestepping, and his longsword swirled in his hand as the Source Armor blocked the attack.

boom…………

Gu Yu and Yuan Jia both retreated. At this time, Yuan Jia's power had weakened considerably, but Gu Yu had also become much weaker.

The other seven Source Armor users did not attack Gu Yu, as they could see that Gu Yu was already at his last gasp.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gu Yu coughed violently, his cough mixed with blood-tinged foam.

"Chinese cultivators, surrender now!" said the Source Armor, who was fighting against Gu Yu.

The next second, a pitch-black Origin Weapon appeared in front of Gu Yu, which startled the eight Origin Armors.

Normally, the power of the Source Soldiers wouldn't be much of a threat to them, but the Source Soldiers can explode with tremendous force, threatening their lives. One of their comrades was killed by a Source Soldier explosion, and their combat strength has been greatly weakened due to energy issues.

Contribution: 980

Talent: 108

Combat strength: N

Triple boost: (5000 contribution points per use, lasts for three minutes)

Source Qi: (1 wisp for every 10 contribution points)

Source space: 3 cubic meters (1 cubic meter for every 1000 contribution points)

Source Soldiers: (1080 contribution points each, maximum 10)

Gu Yu looked at his data template with some helplessness. If he could summon ten source soldiers now, he could fight against eight source armors. However, with only 980 contribution points, he couldn't do anything. He needed contribution points, a lot of contribution points.

"Let's attack together and finish this quickly," said a suit of source armor.

Swish swish swish…………

Immediately, eight sets of Source Armor rushed towards Gu Yu, who frowned.

The power within his bone marrow cannot be used at will. If he doesn't use it, he will die. Death means nothing. Why think about so much? Losing his mind is better than dying. Besides, his father is waiting for him to save him.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu's pupils gradually turned gray.

"You little brat, you're really something else! Can't you be a little more sneaky? You always provoke people stronger than you. Do you think you're a god? I'm speechless." Just then, the dragon source within Gu Yu's blood aperture stirred, and Gu Yu immediately felt his body filled with powerful energy.

"I'm still waiting to recover! Choosing you, let alone recovering, I'm afraid you'll kill me sooner or later." Long Yuan, who hadn't responded to Gu Yu's attempts to communicate, suddenly became like a shrew when communicating with Gu Yu for the first time, cursing and swearing.

"A bunch of lackeys, thinking they're something special just because they're wearing scrap metal." The eight suits of source armor that charged towards Gu Yu suddenly froze in place, a force binding them in mid-air.

Gu Yu was immediately surrounded by white light, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard incessantly.

"What is this thing? I can't move!" a Source Armor user cried out in terror.

The next second, Gu Yu moved, and a white light flashed across the bodies of the eight armored figures.

Boom boom boom…

Eight loud bangs rang out, and the eight sets of source armor exploded instantly.

"You've finally spoken." The moment the eight sets of source armor exploded, Gu Yu's body went limp, and the Dragon Source had already withdrawn its power.

“Kid, let me tell you in advance, although I am strong enough, I am already dead, and my power is limited. Every time I use it, I have one less. And the source energy has little effect on me. If you continue to cause trouble, I will have no choice but to abandon your body,” Long Yuan warned.

“I know,” Gu Yu said.

"You know nothing! Last time you provoked a king, you almost drained me dry. If it weren't for Feng Yuan, I'd still be asleep. Then you got blown up, which drained a lot of my power, and I even had to restore that guy's blood aperture. And now this time, it's been less than a month, can't you just shut up for once?" Long Yuan said angrily. "Even a god would tolerate it if necessary, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died."

In Longyuan's eyes, Gu Yu was a troublemaker who never had a moment's peace.

"I had no choice," Gu Yu said helplessly; he didn't want things to turn out this way either.

"Hmph!" Long Yuan snorted coldly. "Also, try not to use that power. You've only awakened it once, so you can't control it at all."

"Is that the power of gods and demons?" Gu Yu asked after hearing Long Yuan's words.

"You know about the power of gods and demons?" Long Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"I've heard some things about it." Gu Yu nodded. Sure enough, his guesses were correct; it was the power of gods and demons. But why would the power of gods and demons appear on him? That was very strange.

"Gods and demons are the strongest beings in legend." Long Yuan suddenly fell into memories. Gods and demons were not unfamiliar to him. "Legend has it that the world was created by gods and demons, and the power of gods and demons is the most powerful force in the world. It is the source force but is higher than the source force. In other words, the source force originates from the power of gods and demons, and the power of gods and demons cannot be controlled by anyone but gods and demons."

"Only gods and demons can control it?" Gu Yu frowned. "Then why is it in my bone marrow?"

"Because you possess the bloodline of gods and demons," Long Yuan replied.

"Divine and demonic bloodline?" Gu Yu was shocked. He possessed the bloodline of a god and demon, so why hadn't he awakened it in his previous life? And he hadn't discovered it at all in his previous life either.

“Yes.” Long Yuan nodded. “That’s why I chose you. You have the bloodline of gods and demons. In other words, you are a demigod.”

"A demigod?" Gu Yu asked in confusion.

"Yes! Legend has it that there can only be one god-demon in this world. It is said that he created the world and then disappeared. Afterwards, two demigods-demons were born. The two of them fought a great war and then disappeared without a trace. The destruction of my dragon clan was also due to their war. I witnessed that war with my own eyes," Long Yuan said, his voice tinged with fear.

"The dragon race disappeared because of the great battle between those two demigods?" Gu Yu was taken aback. Everyone knew that true dragons no longer existed in the world, but no one knew why they had disappeared.

“That’s right.” Long Yuan nodded.

"The dragon race is so powerful, could it be that even with the combined strength of the entire race, they can't contend with a demigod?" Gu Yu was somewhat shocked. Dragons are the most powerful race in the world.

"The power of gods and demons is terrifying. Even true gods are nothing compared to them. Killing gods is as easy as crushing ants for them," Long Yuan said. "Don't even mention the dragon race; no race can withstand them. They are gods and demons!"

"Then why do I have divine and demonic blood?" Gu Yu was taken aback.

“I’m not sure about your divine and demonic bloodline either, but you’re not exactly a demigod, because gods and demons need to awaken constantly. You’ve only awakened once, so your divine and demonic power is very weak, but it’s not something you can control either,” Long Yuan replied.

"What about those two demigods? Aren't they your enemies?" Gu Yu suddenly realized something. The Dragon Clan's demise was because of demigods, so wouldn't the Dragon Source be...?

"I don't know, he might be dead," Long Yuan replied after thinking for a moment.

"What realm were you in when you were alive?" Gu Yu asked.

"Guess?" Long Yuan kept everyone in suspense.

"Emperor or God?" Gu Yu asked tentatively.

"What it was doesn't matter anymore; it's all vanished in the end. Now it's just a dying dragon source," Long Yuan sighed. "I wonder if the hope of the dragon race has escaped?"

"The hope of the dragon race?" Gu Yu asked upon hearing Long Yuan's sigh.

“Back then, a young dragon escaped, and that was the hope of the dragon race,” Long Yuan said. “The world of Kunlun Source Gate was originally the world of my dragon race. All the source gates were open. Your human world, although weak, had extremely powerful beings, so no race dared to invade. Of course, humans and dragons have an inseparable relationship. In fact, the blood of the Chinese people contains the blood of the dragon race, so the dragon race will also protect the human race.”

“No wonder there’s a rumor that the Chinese people are descendants of the dragon,” Gu Yu said upon hearing Long Yuan’s words. “Then why did the Source Gate close and then open again?”

“I’m not too sure, but I do know a bit about the closure of the Source Gate,” Long Yuan said. “Back then, two demigods chose to fight at the Kunlun Source Gate. One of them was named Gan, and the other was named Kun.”

"Qiankun?" Gu Yu was taken aback.

"I was fortunate enough to witness their battle, and I can say that everything in this world should exist."

Kun said that everything in this world has a mission, and the two of them have the same mission. They shouldn't go against their mission and deliberately let go of what they are protecting.

Gan said that Kun was two-faced and dared not reveal his true thoughts.

Kun said that only destruction can replace, and then creation can take place.

"Fine, then I'll destroy you first."

The two then began a fierce battle, the aftershocks of which destroyed the entire dragon race, and the Source Gates closed one after another during the fighting.

"And then? Who won?" Gu Yu asked curiously. But even the aftershocks of the battle could destroy a powerful dragon. What realm were Qiankun and the other two at? Ancestral Realm? But it's said that the dragon race also has Ancestral Realm cultivators!

"I don't know." Long Yuan spread his paws. He died later, so who knows who won? "But the Source Gate should have been closed by one of them."

"Why close the Source Gate in the first place? And why open it again now?" Gu Yu asked, puzzled. If the Source Gate was open, why close it? And if it was closed, why open it again? What was the purpose?

"How would I know?" Long Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Okay!" It seems my question won't get an answer.

"Kid, let me tell you, don't even think about relying on me in battle anymore. I won't help you." Long Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said to Gu Yu.

"Don't worry," Gu Yu replied.

"Hmph! If you can get me something to replenish my life force, I'll consider it," Long Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

"We'll see about that later." After saying that, Gu Yu dragged his tired body for a while before starting to cultivate.

Several hours later, Gu Yu had recovered somewhat. He opened his eyes and sped off in one direction.

Inside the Originium Mine, a robust, handsome middle-aged Chinese man was staring at a large screen displaying ten people who had lost their vital signs. He was immediately filled with anger.

"There are damned Chinese invaders who killed so many of our people."

"This person's strength is probably at least two levels," said a middle-aged man wearing a mecha.

"We must kill him at all costs," the burly middle-aged man said.

“Lex has already taken his men there,” the middle-aged man in the mecha said. “Should we inform Lord Milsey?”

“No need. Lord Milsey needs to keep the giant beast in the mine under control and has no time for anything else. Don’t bother him,” the burly middle-aged man said. “Lex’s strength has already broken through to the third level. Hunting down that person will not be a problem.”

At this moment, Xu Ling'er and her two companions, along with the primitive child, ran at full speed, only slowing down after they had run quite a distance.

"I wonder how Gu Yu is doing?" Xu Ling'er said with some worry.

“Although he is no match for those people, it should not be difficult for him to escape. However, if we stay, we will only be a burden to him,” Shi Shuai said. Grandmasters are not weak in front of the general public, but they are pitifully weak in front of Source Armor. Fang Jingru, wearing only half of Source Armor, can make many Grandmasters and hundreds of martial artists unable to resist him, let alone those in full Source Armor.

“But it’s been so long, he should have caught up with us by now,” Xu Ling’er said, frowning.

“Indeed, half a day has passed.” Che Tong nodded and said.

"Wait, someone's here." Xu Ling'er suddenly became alert.

"David, how much longer until we arrive?" At this moment, hundreds of people were heading in one direction.

“Judging from the map, it’s almost here,” David said.

This group was the same group David had been with in the Aga Forest. They had been traveling for five days and, although they had not encountered any danger along the way, food was running out.

"I heard that the monster guards the essence of life. If we..." Ryan said greedily.

“Yes! If we could drink a sip of the Essence of Life, even if we couldn’t break through our cultivation or improve our physique, it would definitely extend our lifespan,” John said. “Moreover, I’ve heard that it can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. A single drop can fetch an astronomical price. If we get it, it’s like having an extra life.”

"That's why I agreed after receiving the mission. Although it was dangerous, it also brought opportunities," David said.

“David, if we don’t fight for it, we’ll probably be transport soldiers for the rest of our lives, doing the most dangerous work for the worst treatment, and we might even lose our lives on the road one day,” Ryan said.

“Then the three of us brothers have to give it our all,” John said.

“Let’s go, let’s talk about it when we get there,” David said. He did have this plan, but the place was guarded by three cone monsters. Not to mention them, even the treasure-hunting mech team had stumbled there, otherwise they wouldn’t have come.

The hundred people continued forward, but they did not find Xu Ling'er and her companions hiding in the shadows.

"Life essence?" Shi Shuai frowned. This thing was a treasure! It was dozens of times more precious than source stones.

"You all stay here for now, I'll go find Gu Yu," Xu Ling'er said after thinking it over. As for the life essence, she didn't care at all.

“This…” Seeing Xu Ling’er about to go find Gu Yu, Shi Shuai and Che Tong exchanged a glance. “What if he comes back right after you leave? Should we wait a little longer?”

"Then let's wait a little longer." Xu Ling'er hesitated for a moment. If she left and Gu Yu came back right after, wouldn't Gu Yu have to look for her again?

Just then, a figure came rushing from a distance, and joy appeared on everyone's faces when they saw the figure.

"Gu Yu." Xu Ling'er saw the figure, rushed forward instantly, and hugged Gu Yu tightly.

"I'm fine," Gu Yu said, holding Xu Ling'er. "We have to hurry. Those people won't let this go, and they'll probably catch up soon."

"Hmm!" Xu Ling'er only then realized what was happening, and her pretty face immediately turned a little red in Gu Yu's arms.

"Which direction should we go?" Gu Yu asked, gesturing as he approached the caveman child.

"Squeak squeak..." The caveman child pointed in a direction, and Gu Yu was about to lead everyone in that direction when the others stopped him.

“Gu Yu, there are American soldiers we encountered in the Aga Forest ahead,” Shi Shuai explained. Coincidentally, the caveman child was pointing in the direction that David and his American comrades had just left.

"Hmm?" Gu Yu frowned upon hearing Shi Shuai's words.

"Judging from their conversation, it seems they are searching for the essence of life," Shi Shuai recounted what he and his companions had overheard.

"Life essence, kid, I need life essence. If you can get me some life essence, I'll help you out once. What do you say?" Before Gu Yu could even react to the mention of life essence, Long Yuan became excited.

"Are they really after the essence of life?" Gu Yu asked, ignoring Long Yuan.

“Absolutely true,” Shi Shuai replied.

"Great! The essence of life can only be nurtured by the Tree of Life. It is also what the Tree of Life needs to grow. And the fruit of life is what the Tree of Life produces. Let's hurry and follow them," Gu Yu said excitedly.
