Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Ma Li frowned. Lu Yao had always claimed that her abilities were auxiliary, capable of helping her man cultivate and sensing certain things, but he had never believed her.
“Darling, aren’t you wondering why you lose your triple-strength ability whenever you encounter Gu Yu and prepare to fight him? It’s because he possesses the same thing as you, the same ability. If the two of you fight, it triggers the self-protection mechanism of that thing within you. It’s like when you try to kill me, you’re restrained and can’t make a move. I think Gu Yu has the same situation. I’ve seen his combat power increase many times over when he fights. I even suspect that his increase might not be three times, but more,” Lu Yao analyzed.
At this moment, Ma Li frowned deeply. If that were the case, he had to kill Gu Yu. He had always claimed to be the protagonist and the chosen one because of that thing. Now that Gu Yu also had it, didn't that mean that Gu Yu was also the chosen one?
Moreover, everything that Gu Yu is currently showing is far beyond what he has achieved.
"Darling, that's why I've always insisted that you kill Gu Yu. Everything I've done is for your own good. What I said to him before, and what I did to him, was all to get close to him and confirm my suspicions. So you've really misunderstood me." At this moment, Lu Yao burst into tears again.
"I'm sorry." Upon hearing Lu Yao's explanation, Ma Li actually believed her and immediately apologized.
“Do you know? I have a feeling that Gu Yu will be your greatest enemy, so you must kill him, for your sake and for mine.” Lu Yao looked at Ma Li, “Ma Li, kiss me, I want to have a child with you.”
Lu Yao's sudden words, and the way she kept drawing circles on Ma Li's chest, instantly ignited a surge of desire within Ma Li.
Sizzle...
With a tearing sound, the two immediately began an indescribable scene, but Ma Li did not notice that a strange look flashed in Lu Yao's eyes.
His expression was like that of a wild beast that had spotted a delicious meal.
At this moment, Ri Jiu was protecting Gu Yu. She already knew Gu Yu's feelings, and at the same time, she felt as if she had escaped a fatal calamity.
Zhang Huangling was searching for the Dragon Marrow. As for the Dragon Source, he was feeling conflicted. Was Gan still alive? That was his enemy! The destruction of the entire Dragon Clan was inextricably linked to Gan. Should he seek revenge? He had this thought, but he knew he couldn't do it.
At this moment, Gu Yu's eyes moved, and the next second he opened them wide.
"Gu Yu, you're awake." Ri Jiu, who had been watching over Gu Yu, was overjoyed to see him awake.
"Ri Jiu, are you alright?" Upon seeing Ri Jiu, Gu Yu hurriedly sat up. He looked at Ri Jiu. Although he had drawn out the resentment that was eroding Ri Jiu, Ri Jiu's primordial spirit had been damaged. It is very difficult to recover from a damaged primordial spirit, especially in Ri Jiu's case, since her primordial spirit was her former body.
"I'm fine. I'll recover after some rest," Ri Jiu said, seeing Gu Yu's worried expression. "But you, don't do that again. Even if I die, I don't want you to die."
"Don't talk nonsense, none of us will die," Gu Yu said.
Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Ri Jiu stuck out her tongue, then looked at Gu Yu and blinked.
Upon seeing Ri Jiu at this moment, Gu Yu suddenly stared blankly; she was so cute that he was mesmerized.
"Cough cough..."
Just then, a cough was heard, and Gu Yu and Ri Jiu immediately looked over. They saw Zhang Huangling and Long Yuan, one human and one dragon, looking at the two of them somewhat awkwardly.
When Gu Yu woke up, they wanted to rush over to comfort him and offer their regards. However, Ri Jiu had been watching over him the whole time. After Gu Yu woke up, his eyes were only on Ri Jiu, and Ri Jiu's eyes were only on Gu Yu. The affectionate way the two looked at each other made Zhang Huangling and Long Yuan stop in their tracks.
After all, they felt it was inappropriate to disturb the two of them at this time, but if things continued to develop this way, the two of them might actually become very affectionate.
If we continue to stand here and watch, the boss will probably get angry.
At this moment, Gu Yu looked somewhat embarrassed. He slowly stood up. Strangely enough, with the appearance of the black knife, his injuries were completely healed, leaving him completely unharmed.
"Gu Yu, I have a few questions to ask you," Long Yuan said, his mind filled with questions.
"Where's the black knife?" Gu Yu scanned his surroundings but couldn't find any trace of the black knife. At the same time as Long Yuan asked him, he also asked.
"That black knife wasn't real; it was just a projection. After Gan dispelled the resentment, the black knife also vanished along with Gan," Long Yuan explained.
"Gan?" Gu Yu was taken aback. "Gan saved me?"
Gu Yu suddenly realized something; the voice that had spoken to him in his mind was Gan's voice.
"That's the same question I wanted to ask you. What happened? Why did the projection appear to save you? Didn't it say anything to you?" Long Yuan blurted out all his questions. "Is he still alive?"
"I don't know." Gu Yu shook his head when he heard Long Yuan's words. "I thought I was going to die, and then a voice came out. He said he had been waiting for me for a long time and told me to go deep into the depths to find him."
"Go deeper into the territory to find him?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Yuan's dragon eyes narrowed instantly. This proved that Gan might really still be alive. If a projection could be so powerful, even if Gan was seriously injured, probably even a Heavenly King wouldn't be able to kill him.
"The depths, does that refer to the center of the Kunlun Origin Gate world?" Gu Yu murmured. He remembered that the Origin Heart in his previous life was in that location, and that location was not dry.
“Let’s go deeper, let’s go deeper.” Long Yuan suddenly said at this moment.
"Do you know where the depths are?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan.
“Hmm!” Long Yuan nodded. “It’s simply the place where they fought their great battle back then, which is also the center of my Dragon Realm.”
Upon hearing Long Yuan's answer, Gu Yu frowned. The center of the Dragon Realm, the location of his past life's source heart, and the site of the great battle between the two gods and demons, Qian and Kun, in this life, was also the depths that Qian pointed to. Could there be some connection between the same place? Also, what about the divine and demonic power within him, and why was he reborn? How does one awaken divine and demonic power?
He was about to find out all the answers. He felt that Gan definitely knew the answers. He suddenly felt a sense of urgency and wanted to go to that place as soon as possible.
"Rijiu, can you fly now?" Despite his eagerness, he asked, remembering the damage to Rijiu's primordial spirit.
"It's alright, flying is still fine," Rijiu said.
"I'll carry you on my back." Gu Yu thought for a moment, completely ignoring the gazes of Long Yuan and Zhang Huangling, and directly wrapped his arms around Ri Jiu's waist.
Last time in Black Bull City, he hugged Ri Jiu for acting purposes, but this time, it was from the bottom of his heart. She was a woman who was willing to die for him, so what reason did he have to refuse her?
With a swift movement, Gu Yu, carrying Ri Jiu, soared into the air and headed towards the depths of the Kunlun Origin Gate world.
Long Yuan and Zhang Huangling followed closely behind, and the three of them embarked on their journey once again.
Because he was so eager to know everything, Gu Yu flew very fast.
After more than ten days of travel, the three finally reached the edge of the depths. During this time, they had a smooth journey, only encountering an army of cockroach monsters once. However, relying on their combined strength and Long Yuan's powerful abilities, they quickly escaped the cockroach monster army.
What lies ahead is no longer black and white energy, but pure divine and demonic power, which also contains countless resentments.
The resentment occasionally clashed with the power of gods and demons, venting its unwilling anger.
Gu Yu took out the God-Slaying Array Plate. At this moment, the four top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Plate were already full of energy. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to let his body recover to its best state.
Zhang Huangling also closed his eyes and began to cultivate. However, as he cultivated, his eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"I sensed a very strong aura of thunder."
"Hmm?" Gu Yu looked at Zhang Huangling. "Is it the Thunder Dragon Pearl?"
"I don't know." Zhang Huangling shook his head.
"As expected of someone born with a lightning physique, if my memory serves me right, what lies ahead is precisely the former location of the Thunder Dragon God, the Thunder Dragon Palace," Long Yuan said at this moment.
"If the Thunder Dragon Pearl is still there, isn't it most likely to be in the Thunder Dragon Palace?" Gu Yu asked Long Yuan.
“That’s possible,” Long Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's hurry up and go inside!" Zhang Huangling said eagerly.
"Hmm!" Gu Yu nodded. They had been in Kunlun Yuanmen for almost a month! And they hadn't accomplished a single thing they were supposed to do.
To find dragon marrow, they need to find twelve pieces. So far, they have only found two. One of them, a divine-level dragon marrow, was eaten by the Corpse Beetle King. They haven't found the Thunder Dragon Pearl, nor have they found the secret they wanted to uncover. Today's events are an unexpected bonus. If they really find the Thunder Dragon Pearl, they will have accomplished one of their tasks.
"You must stay with Gu Yu. This place is full of divine and demonic power, which is far more terrifying than that black and white energy. If we get tainted by divine and demonic power, we will surely die." Long Yuan warned him, and then he actually burrowed into Gu Yu's body.
Surrounded by the power of countless gods and demons, only Gu Yu remained unaffected. Moreover, once Gu Yu entered, it was like a fish returning to the sea.
As he watched the dragon source enter his body, Gu Yu's lips twitched a few times, and then he once again lifted Ri Jiu up in his arms.
Rijiu's body was very soft, and Gu Yu discovered that holding Rijiu was addictive.
"Brother Zhang, follow me." After Gu Yu finished speaking, he immediately released divine and demonic power around him, and then stepped into the depths filled with divine and demonic power. Zhang Huangling followed closely behind.
Upon entering, Gu Yu immediately felt countless divine and demonic powers rushing towards him. He felt warm and comfortable, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Then, Gu Yu activated his divine and demonic power, instantly creating an energy shield composed of divine and demonic power around him and Zhang Huangling, isolating them from the surrounding divine and demonic power.
The surrounding divine and demonic power was harmless to him, and even quite beneficial, but to Zhang Huangling and Rijiu, it was poison; it would kill them instantly.
"Brother Zhang, carefully sense the exact location of the thunderous aura. Let's hurry over there," Gu Yu said to Zhang Huangling.
"Okay." Zhang Huangling responded, instantly closing his eyes. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, pointed in a direction, and said, "This way."
The three immediately headed in the direction Zhang Huangling pointed. After flying for about half an hour, they indeed saw lightning, numerous dragon corpses, and a large amount of resentment.
Gu Yu immediately withdrew his divine and demonic power. If the resentment sensed him, it would probably attack him again. However, due to the thunderous energy here, the divine and demonic power was blocked outside. Although it was constantly eroding the thunder and resentment, it could not enter.
Zhang Huangling moved and suddenly headed forward, with Gu Yu following closely behind.
After traveling several thousand meters further, the three of them suddenly stopped.
"What are these things?" Before their eyes appeared countless creatures resembling corpse beetles.
However, these corpse beetle monsters were crackling with lightning, and they seemed to be chewing on the dragon's corpse.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yu and the other two felt their scalps tingle, especially when they heard the gnawing sound, their hair stood on end.
"What do we do?" Zhang Huangling looked at Gu Yu. To continue forward, they had to get through the army of corpse beetles, but there were so many that the three of them couldn't possibly handle them.
“The corpse beetle monster that wields thunder is probably much more powerful than the previous corpse beetle monster,” Gu Yu said, looking at the corpse beetle monster. “Moreover, if there is also a corpse beetle king, then we can only try my strike.”
Regardless of whether the Thunder Dragon Ball is there or not, they have to get through.
Swoosh...
Gu Yu immediately took out the God-Slaying Array Plate and the wooden sword. He looked at the corpse beetle monster in front of him and thought that one strike should be enough.
Contribution:
Talent: 108
Combat strength: 60 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)
At this time, Gu Yu still had 1.35 billion contribution points, which allowed him to unleash his ultimate move five times. However, because he only had four top-grade source stones, each move would consume one stone, so he could only unleash it four times.
The God-Slaying Compass immediately started operating, and Gu Yu's aura soared to the peak of the King Realm. His body floated in the air, and 25 million strands of Origin Qi appeared in an instant. The inscriptions on the wooden sword lit up instantly, and dazzling light emanated from Gu Yu's body.
The commotion immediately startled the corpse beetle monsters, who all looked up at the ancient sky.
At the same time, a Corpse Beetle King suddenly appeared, its body bathed in lightning. It looked at Gu Yu in the air and the wooden sword in Gu Yu's hand that was flashing with dazzling light, and its pupils shrank instantly.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
It immediately roared, and countless corpse beetle monsters instantly rose from the ground and swept towards Gu Yu, their bodies radiating lightning.
boom……………
At the same time, Gu Yu suddenly slashed down with his sword, and countless corpse beetle monsters were instantly annihilated.
A terrifying energy swept out, causing the space to tremble and the earth to shake. A shockwave instantly dispersed a large area of resentment and lightning.
Gu Yu sheathed his longsword and looked at the scene before him calmly. These corpse beetle monsters hadn't attacked him yet, but that was only a matter of time. It would be foolish to wait until they attacked before retaliating.
“We should have eliminated 90% of them, and the rest were severely damaged by the aftershocks. Let’s go.” Gu Yu said to Ri Jiu and Zhang Huangling, then he put the God-Slaying Compass and the wooden sword back into his source space.
The three continued onward, and countless dragon bones appeared before their eyes.
"So many intact dragon bones, this shouldn't be!" Gu Yu frowned. Logically speaking, this place is closer to the battlefield where the two gods and demons fought, so it should have suffered a greater blow. These dragon bones should have been reduced to dust by the powerful force.
Seeing all this, Long Yuan was also puzzled. Could it be that gods and demons could hold back? Perhaps this was the only possibility.
"Perhaps it was because of the barrier that the Dragon Ancestor created with the Dragon Palace Tower when he exerted all his strength?" Long Yuan suddenly thought of the scene he saw before he died. Now that the Dragon Palace Tower was intact and still in the Dragon Tribe's territory, it proved that the barrier was very likely to have worked. However, even so, it still did not save the lives of the dragons inside the barrier.
"A barrier?" Gu Yu frowned. If that's the case, it seems that even Ancestral Realm cultivators are not entirely without resistance against gods and demons.
"Hmm! The Dragon Ancestor activated the barrier created by the ancestral artifact, the Dragon Palace Tower, but it seems he still failed," Long Yuan said.
"Then wouldn't the dragons have been able to escape back then?" Gu Yu asked after thinking for a moment. If the dragons had abandoned everything and used all their strength to activate the Dragon Palace Tower to run away, they wouldn't have been unable to leave this place.
"Hmm!" Long Yuan nodded. "I'm about 80% sure. But instead of fleeing, the Dragon Ancestor chose to protect us. However, even the Dragon Ancestor himself probably didn't expect that his protection would still have no effect."
"Alas! It's my fault. I thought I was very strong back then and rushed to the front, so I died the first one." Long Yuan sighed and said. He died early, so he didn't see the later scenes. He only saw a scene of the Dragon Clan activating the Dragon Palace Tower with all their might.
"What was bound to happen has happened. No matter what, the Dragon Clan is ultimately doomed." Gu Yu said at this moment. No matter how much he deduced what happened back then, it couldn't change anything. The result was that the entire Dragon Clan died in the aftermath of the war between the two gods and demons, Qian and Kun, and even the Dragon Ancestor was not spared.
"Sigh!" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Long Yuan sighed heavily once again.
“Long Yuan, I have a question I want to ask you.” Gu Yu suddenly thought of the Source Heart again. He didn’t understand why the two gods and demons, Qian and Kun, would fight in the Kunlun Source Gate. Could it be because of the Source Heart that he saw in his previous life, which looked like the sun?
