Moreover, the source energy here has another characteristic: it possesses a trace of life.
"Kid, if I regain my strength, it will be of great benefit to you. With my help, you can walk sideways on Earth, except for a few powerful beings. Moreover, if I recover in the future, I can protect you, and you won't have to worry about the opening of the Source Gate." Dragon Source was still unwilling to give up. It craved the essence of life and longed to recover.
“Without a physical body, even if you recover, you can only reach the King Realm at most. As far as I know, if all the Source Gates are opened, even a King is nothing more than an ant,” Gu Yu replied. In his previous life, he was an Emperor, but he couldn’t walk around arrogantly, let alone reach the King Realm. Besides, for Long Yuan to recover to the King Realm was comparable to ascending to heaven. Even if all the life essence here was given to Long Yuan, it would be good if Long Yuan reached the General Realm.
“I…” Long Yuan was speechless after being rebuked. Gu Yu was right. Let alone a king, even a god would find it hard to walk sideways. No one knows how big this world is or how many unknown beings exist. It was so powerful in the past, but it has ended up in its current state, neither alive nor dead.
boom…………
Just then, Xu Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes. She had broken through, advancing from the tenth meridian to the eleventh meridian.
"Ling'er, cultivate a little longer. The Origin Qi here will be of great benefit to you." Gu Yu said as he walked up to Xu Ling'er. His Origin Space was already full of Origin Qi. The three-cubic-meter space contained only Origin Qi, apart from an Origin Soldier. Gu Yu roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of strands of Origin Qi, which was equivalent to the amount of Origin Qi that could be exchanged for 100,000 contribution points. It was enough for him to use the Blade Nourishing Technique many times.
"Mm!" Xu Ling'er nodded and closed her eyes again to absorb the source energy.
Watching Xu Ling'er cultivate, Gu Yu was very curious. His Dragon Source was so eager for the essence of life, so what about the Phoenix Source within Xu Ling'er? It must be eager for it too!
Compared to the dragon, the phoenix is not weak. His own dragon source is very powerful, so Xu Ling'er's phoenix source is definitely not weak either. Apart from Xu Ling'er saving him, he has never seen Xu Ling'er use the phoenix source in battle!
Of course, when Xu Ling'er used Phoenix Source to deal with Ma Li's Flood Dragon Source, Gu Yu was unconscious and unaware of it.
Although he had doubts, Gu Yu did not ask. He believed that Xu Ling'er had her own secrets and would tell him when she wanted to.
Looking at Che Tong and Shi Shuai, it hadn't been long since the two broke through to the Grandmaster level. If they were going to break through again so soon, it definitely wouldn't be that quick. They would probably have to wait a while.
At this moment, the giant ape was also engaged in cultivation. It was too badly injured and needed to recover. Looking at the rich life aura emanating from the giant ape, Gu Yu knew very well that the giant ape had used life essence.
"Damn it." Long Yuan's cursing voice came again. "It wouldn't do that when I asked it to get me the essence of life, but it used it itself. What a waste."
"Sigh! Sour grapes." Gu Yu shook his head and said, but looking at the essence of life and the tree of life, Gu Yu also had a little impulse to rush over and take them for himself.
While he had this opportunity, he could forge a sword for himself. Without a weapon, his combat power would be greatly reduced. As for materials, the source armor destroyed by the monkey troop would be excellent materials for forging the sword.
However, if a knife could be forged from black gold, its power would be considerable, but I am currently unable to refine black gold.
After searching for a long time, Gu Yu finally found a few decent pieces of junk. Immediately, his eyes turned gray, and his primordial spirit fire surged out, rapidly melting the metal.
In just a few breaths, Gu Yu felt dizzy and his head was about to spin out of control. He immediately withdrew his primordial spirit fire and switched to source energy fire.
However, melting metal with the source energy fire was very difficult. After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Gu Yu's forehead, but seeing that the metal had already taken the shape of a Tang sword, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he formed hand seals, his eyes turned gray again, and the fire of his primordial spirit swept towards the prototype of the Tang sword, on which stripes immediately appeared.
These patterns can enhance the power of the knife, and are also called inscriptions. Unfortunately, Gu Yu is not able to inscribe those ancient and complex inscriptions on the knife body. The key is that these metals cannot withstand ancient and complex inscriptions.
The primordial spirit fire was removed and replaced with the source energy fire. Several hours later, a Tang sword had been forged.
At this time, Che Tong and Shi Shuai had already broken through to the next level. Seeing Gu Yu busy, they continued to stabilize their realm.
Holding the Tang sword he had just forged, he found it very comfortable to use, much more so than the alloy battle sword that Motai had previously crafted for him.
"Squeak squeak..." The primitive child looked at the Tang sword in Gu Yu's hand with envy. He also wanted a weapon to protect his people, but he didn't know how to make one and hoped that Gu Yu could teach him.
“Once you embark on cultivation, you will be able to forge your own weapons.” Gu Yu gestured as he looked at the primitive child. This primitive child was somewhat similar to him in his previous life. Gu Yu deeply understood the feeling of watching his tribe being invaded and his relatives and friends being captured.
"Gu Yu, should we wait until the giant ape's master comes out of seclusion?" Xu Ling'er asked as she walked to Gu Yu's side. Although they now knew the location of the Fruit of Life, only chosen guardians like the giant ape's master could enter that place, which was very troublesome.
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed, there was nothing he could do about it.
Little did they know that the escaped Boudia and the fourteen armored units were covered in dust and dirt, eating the giant pig they had just killed, looking like wilted eggplants.
After all, they failed, especially Budia, who now deeply hates Gu Yu. If it weren't for Gu Yu, he would have obtained the essence of life by now.
"Damn it, those damned Chinese!" Boudia cursed. "Why are Chinese people allowed into Aga Yuanmen?"
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, making the group of people eating the giant roasted pig immediately on alert.
"Lord Lor." Upon recognizing the person, Boudia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed respectfully.
"Budia, what happened? Why are you all in such a sorry state?" Lor asked, frowning as he looked at the disheveled Budia and his group.
“Lord Lor, we…” Boudia recounted what had happened, especially when he spoke of Gu Yu, his voice filled with rage.
"As expected, Lex died at the hands of that Chinese man." Upon hearing about Boudia's situation, Lor was instantly enraged, and a wave of energy swept out, causing several people in the surrounding Source Armor to cough up blood.
“Budia, Lex’s death, no matter what, is your fault,” Lor said, looking at Budia.
In his eyes, he would rather Budia die than let Lex die. The reason he came here in person was to take down Gu Yu and give Milsi an explanation.
If Mirsi investigates this matter, he will also be held responsible.
"Lord Lor, the situation was extremely urgent. I was severely injured and had no way to help." Upon hearing Lor's words, Boudia panicked. He knew very well who Lex was, and if he told Lor, he would probably die when he returned.
"Hmph!" Lor sneered. "Did you watch Lex die right in front of you?"
“Yes…no…” Lor’s words left Boudia speechless. This was simply a trumped-up charge! No matter what he said, it would be wrong.
“Tell me, where are those Chinese people?” Lor asked.
“Inside, with the giant ape,” Budia said, looking utterly despondent. He wasn’t stupid; he understood that Lor was looking for a scapegoat, and he had just been chosen.
After listening to Boudia's words, Lor glanced around, then his figure vanished instantly, heading straight into the depths of the forest.
As Boudia watched Lor's figure disappear, he seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed to the ground. It was over, he was finished.
“Sir, why don’t we escape?” David stepped forward and said.
David had heard Lor's words clearly. Not to mention Boudia, these people would probably be implicated as well. To be honest, he regretted it. If he had chosen to leave after delivering the goods, he wouldn't have suffered like this.
If their own strength were at the level required to wear the Source Armor, they might be able to escape. However, they only have this strength because of the Source Armor, so they don't lack replacements. There are plenty of people in the reserve camp waiting to wear the Source Armor on them.
As long as the source armor isn't damaged, killing them today will allow us to replace them with suitable replacements in less than three seconds. That's how cruel it is.
"Escape? Where to escape to?" Lor laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard David's words. "If we escape today, a large number of people will hunt us down tomorrow. Not many people, just a pair of Black Gold Source Armor can completely eliminate us."
“My lord, we’re going to die anyway, so we might as well fight. This world is so vast; if we run as fast as we can, they might not be able to catch us,” David said. He didn’t want to die; he had many things to do. Meanwhile, the other Source Armors were also making their own decisions.
"Lord Budia, let's escape! He's right, escaping might offer a glimmer of hope," said a warrior clad in two-pronged source armor.
"Sir, let's escape! Let's escape far away. This place has such abundant source energy and countless opportunities. We might be able to become stronger by relying on ourselves," the crowd said.
“Alright! Let’s go,” Boudia said. He knew that if they ran away, Lor would definitely accuse them of fleeing from justice, which would make them the main culprits in Lex’s death. But if they didn’t run, they would also be abandoned by their superiors.
Weighing the pros and cons, the only option is to run. The world is vast, and the United States can never completely conquer it; it can only occupy a piece of land and plunder some resources.
If they escape far enough and hide, no one will be able to find them.
Lor traveled at an undetectable speed, and the patrolling monkeys did not notice his arrival.
He quickly arrived at the location of Gu Yu and the others. The next second, he moved and a sudden pressure swept out.
Gu Yu and the others were startled, but they were unable to move. The giant ape also opened its eyes and looked at Luo Er in horror.
"Life essence?" Lor's eyes lit up when he saw the life essence in front of him. So much life essence was priceless! Moreover, it was enough for him to advance another step in his cultivation, to the Commander Realm, or even the Marquis Realm.
“This person’s strength is probably already at the sixth level.” Gu Yu looked at Lor, his brows furrowed. The mere pressure was enough to make him unable to resist, let alone the other party making a move. This person was clearly a reinforcement from Boudia.
"Did you kill Lex?" Lor withdrew his gaze from the Life Essence, glanced around, and looked at Gu Yu, asking in broken Chinese.
He was somewhat puzzled. He could sense the strength of everyone present. Apart from the giant ape, Xu Ling'er had the highest cultivation. However, Budia said that the one who killed Lex was a Chinese man, so it could only be Gu Yu.
However, Gu Yu's strength was only at the ninth rank. Even if Lex fought the giant ape and Gu Yu launched a sneak attack, he would not be able to kill Lex. This made him suspect that there might be some powerful Chinese expert hiding here. As for the life essence, he was not in a hurry. In his eyes, the life essence was already his.
"Lex?" Gu Yu was taken aback. He had killed many American people, but he didn't know the names of the people he killed.
"Hmph! I didn't expect you to have that ability." Seeing Gu Yu's stunned expression, Luo Er felt that Gu Yu was not the one.
"I need your help," Gu Yu said to Long Yuan. Now that Luo Er had come, he was determined not to let them live.
"No way." Long Yuan refused outright upon hearing Gu Yu's words. After all, Gu Yu wouldn't help him obtain the life essence!
"Fine, if I die, he will find out too, and you will end up being refined by him." Gu Yu was not in a hurry when he heard Long Yuan's words; what he said was true.
"Aren't you coming out? If you don't, I'll kill them," Lor said, looking around.
"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback.
"Then I will kill him." The next second, a pressure swept over Gu Yu.
"Aren't you going to make a move?" Gu Yu shouted at Long Yuan. If he didn't act soon, he would die.
"Damn it." Long Yuan cursed angrily. Just as Gu Yu said, if Gu Yu died, he would definitely be captured and refined by Luo Er. Besides, he had his reasons for choosing Gu Yu.
Just as the pressure swept towards Gu Yu, circles of white light emanated from Gu Yu's body, and his figure instantly floated up, facing Luo Er from afar, a Tang sword appearing in his hand.
"Huh?" Seeing Gu Yu suddenly jump up, Lor was stunned. It seemed that Gu Yu really had killed Lex.
Lor's figure moved instantly, and he threw a punch at Gu Yu. Streams of energy transformed into fist energy, which slammed into Gu Yu.
"As expected, it's a six-pointed star." Gu Yu murmured. The next second, he swung his longsword horizontally, and a burst of sword energy swept out, colliding with the fist energy.
Rumble...
With a deafening roar, the impact instantly destroyed the surrounding trees. The giant ape grabbed Xu Ling'er and the other three, and ran far away in one direction to avoid being caught in the crossfire of Gu Yu and Luo Er's battle.
"That person is incredibly strong," the giant ape said. He was a third-tier ape, and in terms of strength, even a fourth-tier ape could put up a fight. Of course, he wasn't strong now, but it felt that even at his peak, Lor could kill him in a single move; the opponent was simply too powerful.
“This power does not belong to you,” Lor said, watching Gu Yu block his attack.
"Whether it belongs to me or not, as long as it can deal with you, that's enough." After Gu Yu finished speaking, power immediately gathered in the long sword in his hand.
"The art of nurturing the sword, opening the heavens."
"Hmm?" Feeling the sudden surge of power on the ancient Tang sword, Lor frowned. It was not weak. Although he was no match for him, he could still put up a fight. No wonder Lex died at his hands.
boom…………
A hundred-meter-long blade of energy slashed down towards Luo Er, whose body was filled with surging energy. He raised his hand, and a burst of energy emanated from him.
Rumble...
The qi and the sword qi collided, and the sword qi exploded instantly. The next second, Lor's body appeared in front of Gu Yu and threw a punch. Gu Yu hurriedly blocked with his sword, but was punched away and smashed into the ground.
With a swift movement, Lor unleashed a series of punches at Gu Yu on the ground. Gu Yu was repeatedly struck, sinking deeper into the ground, and blood gushed from his mouth.
"Kid, we're probably going to lose here today," Longyuan said. It was already at its limit. It was no match for the six cones. Maybe it could hold out for a while with five cones.
Xu Ling'er watched this scene from a distance. She gritted her teeth. Gu Yu was no match for Luo Er. Anyone could see that. If this continued, Gu Yu would be beaten to death.
In the next instant, Xu Ling'er's eyes turned white, and cold white flames emanated from her body.
Her aura instantly surged, and a pair of ice wings appeared on her back as she charged toward Luo Er, who was torturing Gu Yu.
A sword thrust forward, its icy aura seemingly capable of freezing even the air. Faced with Xu Ling'er's sword strike, Luo Er abandoned his attack on Gu Yu and met Xu Ling'er's sword with a punch.
Xu Ling'er was immediately blasted away, and Gu Yu took advantage of this moment to fly in front of Xu Ling'er. The two stood side by side, facing Luo Er from afar.
Gu Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Ling'er beside him. For some reason, he felt that Xu Ling'er was acting strangely.
"Interesting." Looking at Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er, Luo Er's expression was somewhat mocking. The power of these two was not his own, but they were not weak either. Of course, compared with himself, they were still far behind.
"Ling'er, even if we join forces, we're probably no match for him," Gu Yu said to Xu Ling'er. "If anything happens to you, you must leave and help me find the Fruit of Life to save my father."
"Do what you have to do yourself," Xu Ling'er said coldly. At this moment, she was surrounded by white, cold flames, giving off an aura of unapproachability.
"None of you are going anywhere. Don't rush. Take your time. I will kill you one by one." After saying this, Lor's terrifying aura spread out. He was getting serious. He hadn't used his full strength in the battle with Gu Yu.
A pair of black boxing gloves appeared on his hands, and he instantly appeared in front of Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er. He threw out his fists at the same time, and Gu Yu instantly blocked in front of him.
"Eight Directions Heavenly Shield." Gu Yu's Tang sword instantly floated above his head, and in an instant, sword energy spread out, enveloping Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er, forming a sword energy shield.
