"You..." Gu Yu's expression changed drastically upon hearing the voice. "What exactly are you doing?"
"Hehe..." The voice suddenly chuckled, "It's nothing, I was just a little excited to see my own work, so I was just joking."
"A work of art? Are you kidding me?" Gu Yu was annoyed again, but he didn't dare to lash out. There was no other way; one must be flexible and adaptable.
"I know you have many questions. If you can pull out that black knife, I will tell you everything," the voice suddenly said seriously.
"Draw the black knife?" Gu Yu frowned. "But I can't draw it."
"That's your problem," the voice said. "The awakening of bloodline is nothing more than oppression. It is through repeated oppression that you stimulate and break through the original limits. Only by experiencing the struggle between life and death can you change."
"What are you saying?" Gu Yu didn't understand, but the voice never answered him again.
Gu Yu took a breath, his gaze returning to the black knife. Pull it out? If he could pull it out, would he need to go through all this trouble? He would have pulled it out long ago.
With no other option, Gu Yu could only walk towards the black blade again. If he guessed correctly, he couldn't leave now, even if he wanted to.
After circling the black sword once, Gu Yu suddenly had an idea. He took out his wooden sword, and with a burst of sword energy, he began to slash at the ground beneath the black sword.
when……………
When the wooden sword struck the ground, Gu Yu immediately felt his hand holding the sword go numb and weak. The next second, the wooden sword slipped from his hand, and Gu Yu staggered back a few steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"The ground is so hard," Gu Yu frowned, but when he touched the soil beneath his bottom, it was clearly soft. This…
He walked up to the black knife and touched the soil around it. It was hard, and he knew without a doubt that it was a ghost.
"Damn it, you blockhead!" Gu Yu cursed.
The next second, he suddenly stood up, unleashing divine and demonic power, and slammed a palm strike into the black blade.
To his dismay, the power of gods and demons struck the black blade as if it had sunk into the sea, leaving no trace.
"It's over, we're going to be trapped here to die." Gu Yu was like a deflated balloon. Suddenly, he thought of something, and the God-Slaying Array Disc appeared in his hand. At this moment, all nine top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Disc were full of energy.
With a flick of his other hand, Gu Yu drew the wooden sword into his grasp, and immediately began to activate the God-Slaying Array.
"It's useless unless you're at the Ancestral Realm and can break through with brute force." At this moment, Gan's voice suddenly rang out.
"What? Ancestral Realm?" Gu Yu was already going crazy when he heard Gan's voice.
"Sigh!" The voice sighed. "Actually, I've already made it very clear. If you want to pull out Old Black, you'll need to awaken the power of gods and demons at least three times. Awakening the power of gods and demons three times can be considered as gaining some of its recognition."
"Awakened three times?" Gu Yu was taken aback. "Did you say that?"
Gu Yu recalled all of his conversations with Gan, but couldn't find it. Gan had never said it, and besides, the guy's speech was incoherent and incomprehensible to a normal person.
"Sigh! Your comprehension is terrible! Compared to me, it's like night and day." He sighed and said.
"Is my comprehension lacking?" Gu Yu asked in surprise. His comprehension lacking? What a joke! Take the Array Formation Book for example, that thing is harder to learn than cultivation. He might not even be able to learn it.
"At least you have some self-awareness, there's still hope. Alright, figure it out yourself! I'll talk to you again when you can pull Old Black out." After saying that, he fell silent again.
"Self-awareness? I..." Gu Yu was getting a little angry. Was this guy crazy? He was supposed to figure it out slowly? Figure out what? Wait, "Then tell me how to awaken a third time!"
Gu Yu felt helpless at this moment. He possessed the bloodline of gods and demons, but no one had ever told him how to cultivate or how to awaken it.
By the way, how did he awaken the first two times? Gu Yu suddenly fell into deep thought. The first time, he was almost blown to death by an alloy bullet. No, he was practically blown to death. Then he awakened the divine and demonic bloodline for the first time. The second time was the Heavenly Ascension Staircase in front of the Dragon Palace Tower. That was a special place for the dragon race to awaken their bloodline and also for cultivating the physical body. It had an extremely strong pressure on the bloodline.
"The awakening of bloodline is nothing more than oppression. It is through repeated oppression that we stimulate and break through the original limits. Only by experiencing the struggle between life and death can we change."
Suddenly, he remembered what Gan had told him at the beginning: the awakening of bloodline requires pressure, and the Heavenly Staircase is a kind of pressure on bloodline, and the first time is the pressure of death.
That's right. If we combine the previous two instances with what we're saying now, then the way to awaken the divine and demonic bloodline is to suppress the bloodline.
The pressure of death, in particular, can bring people to their limits.
"Oppression?" Gu Yu looked around. "Isn't the power of gods and demons here a kind of oppression? Wait! If I hadn't chosen to retreat at the beginning and had kept moving forward, would the oppression of the power of gods and demons have made me awaken my god and demon bloodline? The power of gods and demons here is relatively docile. If I absorb them into my body and stimulate my bloodline, although there is a risk of my body exploding, it is the only way to trigger the third awakening of the god and demon bloodline."
Thinking of this, Gu Yu gritted his teeth! He suddenly closed his eyes, and the divine and demonic bloodline in his body suddenly throbbed. He no longer guarded his body and prevented the surrounding divine and demonic power from entering his body, but suddenly released the barrier.
Instantly, the divine and demonic power around him converged on his body, and Gu Yu felt as if his body was about to explode. The pain was so intense that he could not even groan.
"Oh my god! Will doing this kill me?" Gu Yu thought to himself.
Instantly, the divine and demonic power that had entered his body began to sweep over his flesh and head towards his bone marrow. His body trembled violently, and cracking sounds emanated from it. At this moment, his divine and demonic bloodline began to flow rapidly, churning, surging, and surging.
At the same time, a figure slowly appeared. He looked at Gu Yu and said to himself, "How do gods and demons awaken? Heh... Even we don't know. We only know that they have to go through the pressure of life and death to awaken. After all, we have already awakened seven times since we were born. But you are different. You need to grow."
Looking at Gu Yu, whose face was contorted in pain, Gan's face remained expressionless. "Sigh! I wonder if the original body is dead or not. If he's not dead, where does this divine and demonic bloodline in your body come from? If he is dead, I find it hard to believe. He could pull off such a grand scheme, even changing what was supposed to be an irreversible event, and yet he's dead. It's truly unbelievable!"
"Sigh! Never mind, I just need to complete my mission. I don't need to know or think about anything else, otherwise it will give me a headache."
Seeing Gu Yu trembling, and Gu Yu's body seemingly about to shatter, Gan Na's usually calm expression suddenly changed. "Oh my god! I hope I don't kill him!"
"I don't think so!" Gan looked at Gu Yu, who was now covered in blood and gore from being swept away by the power of gods and demons, and said uncertainly, "Alas! If you die, then we're doomed. All the plans that the main body put into it will have come to nothing."
"How about I help you?" Gan hesitated. "But if I help you and you can't awaken a third time, all the suffering you've endured will have been for nothing. You might even have to go through it all again. Ugh! What a hassle!"
"Forget it, it takes a near-death experience to awaken. If you don't survive, that's fate." Gan said, shaking his head, and then disappeared again.
At this moment, Gu Yu could no longer feel pain. Now, because his divine and demonic bloodline had merged with the divine and demonic power from the outside world, it was surging and erupting wildly, which directly destroyed his physical body, including his bones.
Even his blood vessels were buzzing, seemingly on the verge of bursting; at this moment, his will was no longer clear.
Buzzing...
The divine and demonic bloodline frantically devoured the divine and demonic power pouring in from the outside, constantly bombarding his already crumbling body. His 108 blood apertures gradually could not hold on any longer, and even cracks appeared.
This explains why Gu Yu's complexion changed before he died; once his blood orifice shattered, Gu Yu would be completely dead.
Just as Gu Yu's blood orifice was about to explode and he was about to die, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman suddenly activated. Black and white power instantly spread out and began to imprison Gu Yu's body, causing the already bloodied and mangled Gu Yu to convulse.
"As expected, the main body had a backup plan." Gan's voice rang out again at this moment, "I knew it, after paying such a high price, how could we possibly let him die! Hehe..."
The binding power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman was originally of no benefit to Gu Yu, but now it's different.
As the divine and demonic power surged into him, Gu Yu's muscles, bones, and internal organs were torn apart, and every breath felt like dancing on a knife's edge. Meanwhile, the power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman was like an invisible chain, tightly binding his body and trying to imprison him.
Two forces were locked in a stalemate within Gu Yu's body: one was the powerful divine and demonic force, which wanted to break through all constraints; the other was the binding power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman, which attempted to firmly control Gu Yu's body.
Boom boom boom…
This caused Gu Yu even more pain. The power of gods and demons had just destroyed his body, but the power of confinement instantly repaired the destroyed parts.
This cycle repeated itself for several days. Initially, Gu Yu was in immense pain, but the repeated cycles gradually numbed him, allowing him to adapt. Moreover, his body grew stronger with each passing day. Originally, his body couldn't even withstand the raging divine and demonic bloodline for a minute before collapsing. But now, under the influence of the raging divine and demonic bloodline, Gu Yu's body could endure for half an hour; his physical strength had increased more than tenfold.
Buzzing...
However, his divine and demonic bloodline has not yet awakened, but he feels it will be soon. As for the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman, its black and white power is constantly clashing with the divine and demonic power. Although it has been repeatedly defeated, it has persisted and refused to give up.
Gu Yu's bone marrow felt like it was being boiled, making gurgling sounds. This was an unprecedented experience, and he could feel his body undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Under these extreme circumstances, Gu Yu's willpower continued to grow. He knew that only by persevering could he have a chance to be reborn. His heart was filled with anticipation and longing, hoping to awaken his divine and demonic bloodline as soon as possible and master true power.
Glug glug...
At this moment, Gu Yu's bone marrow surged violently. The originally tyrannical divine and demonic power began to calm down and began to nourish Gu Yu's body, no longer damaging it. Having had two previous experiences, Gu Yu knew very well that he was experiencing both pain and pleasure at this moment.
Indeed, death is accompanied by opportunity.
However, something even more troublesome happened. The Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman, which had originally saved his life, had not diminished at this moment. Seeing that the power of gods and demons had returned to calm, it assumed that the power of gods and demons had given in and, like a vicious dog, frantically pounced on Gu Yu's bone marrow.
Except for his bone marrow, Gu Yu's entire body was now under the control of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman.
"Damn it!" Gu Yu cursed under his breath. His current situation was like having just escaped the tiger's den and now entering the wolf's lair.
Glug glug………………
Faced with the black and white power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman, the boiling bone marrow seemed to be enraged. Gray light immediately emanated from the bone marrow and swept towards the black and white power.
Boom boom boom...
The two forces clashed and fought fiercely.
Gu Yu clenched his fists, his body trembling again. His skin was covered in sweat, each drop like a glistening pearl, shimmering in the sunlight. His eyes were wide open, filled with pain and struggle.
boom…………
The two forces clashed fiercely within Gu Yu's body. One sought to imprison and control everything, while the other was the power of gods and demons. He was already a supreme and strongest being, so how could he allow himself to be imprisoned and controlled by the black and white forces?
The actions of the Black and White forces are seen as provocations by the power of gods and demons, and they cannot tolerate them.
Buzz...
The divine and demonic bloodline roared instantly, and a hint of joy appeared in Gu Yu's painful eyes. He had awakened! His divine and demonic bloodline had awakened for the third time. However, the joy was only fleeting, and he was still in a predicament.
With the success of the third awakening, the divine and demonic power battling the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, suddenly becoming several times stronger. The black and white power was suppressed in an instant and slowly retreated.
In about fifteen minutes, the power of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Punishment Talisman disappeared and was suppressed by the power of gods and demons. At the same time, the power of gods and demons began to strengthen Gu Yu's muscles, bones, internal organs, meridians, and so on.
Ripples of divine and demonic power emanated from Gu Yu's body, resonating with the surrounding divine and demonic power. Even the black sword, which had been dormant, hummed a few times.
Gu Yu's eyes snapped open, his pupils gleaming with a greyish light. He clenched his fists and suddenly unleashed two powerful punches, sending crackling sounds emanating from his body.
call………………
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt extremely comfortable, experiencing the exhilaration of surviving a calamity. At this moment, he used his divine and demonic bloodline and divine and demonic power, making his combat strength comparable to that of a peak commander.
Contribution:
Talent: 108
Combat strength: 150 elephants
Triple boost: (Contribution points once, lasting three minutes)
Source Qi: (1 wisp for every 10 contribution points)
Source space: 300 cubic meters (1 cubic meter for every 1000 contribution points)
Source Soldier: (One contributor, maximum 10)
He opened the system template, and his combat power had increased to 15 dragons, almost reaching the level of five cones. However, his cultivation level was still at three cones and had not improved. But his pure physical strength had increased from one dragon to ten dragons.
What does it mean to have the body of a ten-dragon? At this moment, Gu Yu's physical strength was already comparable to that of a true dragon.
His improvement this time was enormous and unprecedented. In comparison, his cultivation speed of the Source Cone was actually too slow.
Still no primordial spirit? Gu Yu tried to release his divine and demonic primordial spirit, but he couldn't. This made him frown. Oh well! I'll just draw my black sword and ask Gan.
Gu Yu then looked at the black knife. The increase in power restored much of his confidence, which had been completely crushed before.
Gu Yu moved like the wind, arriving before the black blade in the blink of an eye. He took a deep breath, his divine and demonic power surging within him like a raging storm. He gripped the hilt tightly, gathering all his power into his body.
“Buzzing…”
Under Gu Yu's control, the black blade began to tremble slightly. Gu Yu pulled hard, but the black blade seemed rooted to the ground, unmoving. He felt a powerful resistance coming from it, as if it would tear his arm apart.
Gu Yu's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that even with his current strength, drawing the black blade would be so difficult. Just how heavy was this black blade?
He took a deep breath and pulled again. This time, he felt the black knife loosen, but he still couldn't budge it.
"ah…………"
Gu Yu roared, unleashing his full power. His divine and demonic bloodline surged, his muscles tensed, and his veins bulged.
*Snap*...
The black blade was finally slowly pulled out. Gu Yu's legs trembled, his arms shook, his chest heaved violently, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He felt that his strength was almost exhausted, but he had successfully pulled out the black blade. Looking at the black blade that had left the ground, he was filled with joy.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, boom! Gu Yu couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly let go. The black knife plunged into the ground again, and Gu Yu sat down heavily, panting. What was this black knife made of? It was incredibly heavy.
"Damn it, I've already drawn the black knife, you should have seen it by now! Can you come out and answer my questions now?" Gu Yu paused for a moment, then immediately shouted to the surroundings.
