Suddenly, a figure appeared, and beside him were two other figures. A terrifying aura emanated from the newcomer, who immediately unleashed a palm strike, sending the unsuspecting Kong Yan and the flames he was about to strike He Wen flying.
"Brother Yu." He Wen exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Gu Yu holding the God-Slaying Array Plate. Shi Shuai and the others were also pleasantly surprised to see Gu Yu.
Gu Yu activated the God-Slaying Array Disc in his hand, and the Six Harmonies Demon-Controlling Array immediately spread out, protecting everyone inside.
He frowned as he looked at the densely packed army of rat monsters. Then, the Nine Palaces Annihilation Array on the God-Slaying Array Plate immediately activated. In an instant, the surrounding area surged with wind and clouds, and an array instantly covered an area of a hundred meters in radius. Countless killing forces spread out instantly, and those rat monsters that were covered were instantly killed.
"Master." The Corpse Beetle King, who was fighting fiercely with the two Rat Kings, was overjoyed to see Gu Yu appear, as happy as a child.
"How is this possible? How could you become so strong?" Kong Yan stared wide-eyed at Gu Yu, his eyes filled with fear.
Gu Yu ignored him. He frowned as he looked at the disheveled Corpse Beetle King, and a wooden sword immediately appeared in his hand. He swung the wooden sword, and a burst of sword energy swept out.
The two rat kings were utterly horrified when faced with Gu Yu's blade aura. The human before them was far too powerful. The two rat kings tried to defend themselves instantly, but at this moment, the power unleashed by Gu Yu's blade had reached 600 dragons, which far exceeded the peak of the King Realm.
The two rat kings, having fought the corpse beetle king for a long time, had almost no strength left. Gu Yu's slash sent them flying, crashing into the distance like cannonballs, with blood gushing from their mouths.
The other rat monsters turned pale with fright at the sight, and even the burly rat monsters that came later showed fear in their eyes.
Gu Yu gripped a wooden sword, its blade energy swirling around him. In an instant, he unleashed the Eight Directions Heaven-Piercing Slash, countless blade energies bursting forth and reaping the lives of the rat monsters.
"Retreat." The Power Rat King struggled to its feet. It looked at Gu Yu in the air. At this moment, Gu Yu was like a god descending to earth, powerful and invincible.
Upon hearing the words of the Power Rat King, the rat monsters turned around and ran away, and the massive army of rat monsters collapsed at that moment.
"Corpse Beetle King, thank you for your hard work," Gu Yu said to the Corpse Beetle King.
"Master, it's all as it should be." The Corpse Beetle King bowed and said. This tyrannical creature was like a docile kitten in front of Gu Yu.
Gu Yu and his group had already approached He Wen's location when they saw hordes of rat monsters attacking something. Gu Yu immediately sensed something was wrong and used his teleportation ability to rush back. Moreover, he returned just in time.
If it had been a second or two later, He Wen would have been dead.
"Kong Yan, what are you doing?" Gu Yu's gaze finally fell on Kong Yan. At this moment, everyone was still in Gu Yu's Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation. As long as they were in the formation, unless the other party's cultivation level exceeded the early stage of the Emperor Realm, they would be lambs to the slaughter in front of Gu Yu.
"Gu Yu, you've misunderstood. Kong Yan is here to heal He Wen." At this moment, Kong Yue hurriedly stepped forward and said. At this moment, the aura emanating from Gu Yu was terrifying, even more frightening than the King Realm experts of their Kong family. Moreover, they were currently trapped in Gu Yu's formation and had no strength to resist.
"Healing?" Everyone looked at Kong Yue with strange expressions upon hearing her explanation. Did she think Gu Yu was an idiot?
Fortunately, Gu Yu arrived and saved them; otherwise, they would have died at Kong Yan's hands instead of at the hands of the rat monster.
Even Ling Juefeng and Nangong Yang, who had always disliked Gu Yu, now looked at Gu Yu differently.
"Get lost, I didn't ask you." Gu Yu waved his hand and threw Kong Yue aside. His gaze turned to Kong Yan, and the power of the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation swept towards Kong Yan. Kong Yan felt his body sink, and his expression changed instantly.
The Fire Phoenix Source within him told him that he was no match for Gu Yu, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Gu Yu, if you dare to touch Kong Yan, my Kong family will fight you to the death." Kong Yue's face was deathly pale. Gu Yu waved his hand lightly, and she suffered internal injuries.
"The Kong family? Ha..." Gu Yu sneered, "I still have scores to settle with your Kong family! Perfect."
"You..." Kong Yue was extremely anxious when she saw that the Kong family was not working.
"Kong Yan, facing a powerful enemy, everyone is focused on fighting them, but you want to trick us into taking our treasure. Your actions are utterly outrageous and deserve to be torn to pieces," Xiang Tianjiao said to Kong Yan.
"Murder and robbery?" Gu Yu frowned, his gaze toward Kong Yan growing increasingly cold.
"Gu Yu, do you dare to remove the formation and fight me fair and square?" Kong Yan suddenly said at this moment, "What kind of skill do you have relying on this external object?"
"Hehe..." Gu Yu laughed upon hearing Kong Yan's words, and everyone else laughed too. This arrogant guy who thought he could control everything was actually saying such stupid things.
Gu Yu is proficient in formations; aren't formations something that belongs to Gu Yu? As long as it can enhance one's strength, can it be considered an external thing? Does that mean you won't allow others to use weapons when fighting?
In combat, as long as it enhances one's own strength, everything else is secondary.
Kong Yan was just jealous that Gu Yu possessed an array. If he had one, would he not use it?
"What? Are you afraid?" Kong Yan asked immediately when he saw Gu Yu's sneer. "A person should be upright and honest, but you always rely on these unorthodox methods. Even if you kill me, I will not submit to you."
When Kong Yan said that one should be upright, everyone was full of sneers. What a joke! Kong Yan, are you upright? You, Kong Yan, have been hiding in the background waiting for your chance to seize the treasure, and now you have the nerve to say that one should be upright? Isn't this a ridiculous joke?
"Unorthodox methods, what an unorthodox methods!" Gu Yu said coldly upon hearing Kong Yan's words. His teacher, Tongtian Daoren, had spent his life studying formations, yet others called him an unorthodox practitioner. But were formations really unorthodox methods?
If that's true, why would those people want to steal the Array Formation Book? It's just slander. In Gu Yu's eyes, array formations are the best way to improve strength. If humans had enough source stones and everyone knew how to form arrays, then human strength would be unprecedented. Take the small Southwest Source Gate for example, it could be destroyed in an instant.
It's outrageous that people who don't have what others do are envious and resort to slander.
"Then I will use the unorthodox methods you mentioned to kill you today." After saying this, Gu Yu held a wooden sword and walked towards Kong Yan.
Seeing Gu Yu walking towards him, Kong Yan panicked completely. He was a chosen one of heaven, a fire phoenix. How could he die like this? He was unwilling to accept it, he could not die.
Suddenly, the energy of the Fire Phoenix Source erupted, and flames burned in Kong Yan's eyes. The suppression of the Six Harmonies Demon-Controlling Array could not suppress the raging fire on Kong Yan's body at this moment.
"Human, let me leave." This was Huo Fengyuan's voice.
"Hmph!" Gu Yu snorted coldly, "You're nothing but a dead fire phoenix. In front of my human race, you are nothing."
"Human, do you really think I can't deal with you?" Huo Fengyuan was furious when he heard Gu Yu's words.
The next second, raging phoenix fire emanated from Kong Yan's body, and the next second, Kong Yan actually trembled.
"Hahaha... I really thank you. He didn't want to give his body to me to possess, but now, because of your pressure, he willingly gave up resisting my possession. I really thank you," Huo Fengyuan said.
Looking at Kong Yan, who was burning with phoenix flames, Gu Yu's expression changed. He felt that the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array could no longer suppress this guy. Moreover, he thought of the Ice Phoenix Source in Xu Ling'er's body. One day, he would also be possessed by the Ice Phoenix Source like Kong Yan. Thinking of this, a hint of anger suddenly appeared in Gu Yu's eyes.
"You damned things, since you've survived by taking over my human body, you must obey the will of this body," Gu Yu said coldly. Others couldn't understand his words, but Ri Jiu did.
She knew that Gu Yu, watching this scene, thought of Xu Ling'er, who also possessed the Ice Phoenix Source.
"Haha..." At this moment, Kong Yan should not be a fire phoenix. His aura has surged and reached the Emperor Realm. The raging phoenix flames made the Six Directions Demon-Controlling Array tremble.
With a flick of his wrist, Gu Yu retracted the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array from his left hand. There was no other way; the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array could no longer suppress the Fire Phoenix, and continuing to operate it would only waste the energy of the top-grade source stones.
"This god-king will turn you all to ashes." At this moment, the fire phoenix floated in the air, and the blazing flames on his body caused ripples in the surrounding space.
"Mid-stage Emperor Realm." Gu Yu's expression changed, and everyone else's expression changed as well. At this moment, the surrounding temperature was rising, and the scorching heat made them feel suffocated.
"Die!" Kong Yan instantly transformed into a fire phoenix and charged towards Gu Yu.
Gu Yu gripped the wooden sword, his body radiating power, and a massive sword aura instantly appeared, slashing towards the fire phoenix.
The man and the phoenix immediately engaged in a fierce battle. However, the fire phoenix was simply too powerful. At this moment, Gu Yu's clothes were burned to tatters by the phoenix's flames, and even Gu Yu's entire body turned somewhat red.
"Phoenix Fire, Spreading Wildfire." In an instant, countless flames swept towards Gu Yu. Gu Yu held a wooden sword, and in a flash, the Eight Directions Heavenly Barrier swept out. However, under the burning of the phoenix flames, the Eight Directions Heavenly Barrier also caught fire.
Gu Yu's expression changed again. He was no match for this fire phoenix. If it were only at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm, he might have been able to fight for a long time. However, the phoenix flames were too strong. This thing could even burn the blade energy to ashes. It seemed that he would have to use his ultimate move again.
The God-Slaying Array Disc in his hand immediately started operating, and Gu Yu teleported, instantly appearing behind the Fire Phoenix.
Thirty million strands of primordial energy instantly spread out, enveloping Gu Yu completely. The inscriptions on the wooden sword were instantly illuminated, and a terrifying aura swept out.
Sensing the sudden burst of power from behind him, Huo Feng's expression changed rapidly. He could sense the impending danger and the immense power that Gu Yu could unleash.
"Open the heavens." Gu Yu immediately raised the wooden sword, and a huge sword aura immediately spread out, causing the space around the sword aura to tremble and distort.
Everyone stared in horror at the blade energy in the air; this power was beyond human capabilities, belonging to the divine realm.
At this moment, Huo Feng was also terrified. This strike was aimed at him. He had only one thought: to escape. He absolutely could not take Gu Yu's strike. He knew very well that the power of this strike had reached the level of a true god. Even though he was now at the Emperor Realm and could only offset one-third of the power, it was still enough to kill him.
"A gust of wind rises, covering ninety thousand miles, and then escapes." The flames around the fire phoenix suddenly surged out recklessly, and countless ancient runes appeared on its body as it cast a forbidden escape technique.
The next second, the Heaven-Opening Slash came down, with a deafening roar that seemed to split the heavens and earth, and blinding light burst forth.
"No..." Kong Yue's eyes widened as she screamed hysterically.
boom…………
Everyone felt the earth tremble. After a long while, the surroundings slowly returned to their original color. In the void, only Gu Yu's figure remained. The once arrogant fire phoenix, which was filled with towering flames, had vanished without a trace.
"Is it dead?" This was everyone's first thought, including Gu Yu's. He wasn't sure if he had killed the Fire Phoenix. Given the Fire Phoenix's strength, it shouldn't have been reduced to nothing.
Upon seeing the fire phoenix reduced to ashes, Kong Yue collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.
"No, no..." she kept repeating.
"It should be dead," Gu Yu murmured. Such a powerful attack had reached the level of a true god. Even though the Fire Phoenix was powerful, it had not recovered.
What Gu Yu didn't know was that at this moment, in a certain place in the Kunlun Origin Gate world, space suddenly twisted a few times, and a figure appeared. At this moment, the figure only had its upper body left, and it looked very disheveled.
"What a powerful strike! Even though I used a secret escape technique, my legs were still severed." This person was none other than Huo Feng, who had escaped. He said with lingering fear, and then his face turned sinister.
"Gu Yu, once I regain my former strength, I will surely kill you."
"Thank you." As soon as Gu Yu landed, Dugu Xing walked over and expressed his gratitude to Gu Yu.
"Thank you." Everyone immediately said to Gu Yu.
"We are all human, it's only right," Gu Yu said to the crowd. Then, he moved the God-Slaying Array Plate in his hand, and the Gathering Source Array above it immediately started operating.
"Everyone is seriously injured and exhausted, so let's hurry up and recover!" Gu Yu said to everyone.
At this moment, the three top-grade source stones on the God-Slaying Array Plate had dimmed. However, Gu Yu took out a lot of high-grade source stones from the source space and used the Source Gathering Array to help everyone recover on one hand, and to recover himself on the other.
After hearing Gu Yu's words, everyone sat cross-legged and began to cultivate to recover from their injuries and depletion. Especially since there was divine source power here, everyone recovered very quickly.
"Strange, I remember these rat monsters are very timid, why would they attack us like this?" Zhang Huangling said with a frown.
"Yes! It is indeed very strange." Gu Yu nodded. "After they recover, we'll ask them about it, and perhaps we can find out why."
"Mm." Zhang Huangling nodded.
"Master." At this moment, the Corpse Beetle King suddenly flew out from a large ball of white energy. It was very excited to see Gu Yu.
"Why aren't you continuing to recover?" Gu Yu asked, seeing the Corpse Beetle King fly to his side. Although the Corpse Beetle King had strong defense, its internal organs had been shaken quite badly, and its energy consumption was also enormous.
"Master, I feel you are getting stronger and stronger," said the Corpse Beetle King.
"Oh, right." Gu Yu suddenly remembered something. He took out a dragon marrow of the Emperor Realm from his source space and handed it directly to the Corpse Beetle King. "This thing should be of great help to you."
Upon seeing the dragon marrow, the Corpse Beetle King immediately sniffed it, and then drool dripped from its mouth. "Thank you, Master."
Then it took the dragon marrow and sucked it into its mouth in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, it flew towards a large mass of white energy around it.
"Gu Yu." At this moment, Dugu Xing stood up. Although his aura had not yet returned to its peak, it had recovered to about 70-80%. This guy's body was very strong, and with the addition of the God of War physique, his recovery speed was astonishing. Moreover, his aura was already very close to the Marquis Realm.
“Dugu Xing.” Gu Yu looked at Dugu Xing. Ever since he entered the Dragon Clan, he had often heard others mention his name.
"Gu Yu, you are very powerful. I, Dugu Xing, have always felt that I am already a leading figure of this generation of humanity, but compared to you, I seem somewhat insignificant." Although Dugu Xing said this, Gu Yu could not see the slightest hint of dejection in his eyes.
“You are also very powerful. I just have some tricks up my sleeve. If we are simply comparing cultivation levels, I am not as good as you,” Gu Yu said. He was only at the third level, while Dugu Xing was already at the peak of the seventh level. Although Gu Yu had the power of gods and demons and had awakened it three times, it was hard to say whether he could fight Dugu Xing without using the God-Slaying Array Plate and the triple amplification.
"You're too modest. Sometimes, tactics are more important than cultivation. Take this situation for example, I simply couldn't handle it," Dugu Xing said. "However, your strength makes me very happy. I've been very lonely these past few years, the loneliness of having no rivals. Can you understand that? Although there are many people who can fight me now, such as Zhang Huangling, Li Daoquan, and Xiang Tianjiao, they are not at a level that I can look up to. If I fight desperately, they will all die at my hands. Only you! Even if I fight with all my might, I cannot defeat you. So, you have given me motivation. One day, I will definitely surpass you."
Dugu Xing said confidently, and it was clear that he was very excited at the moment.
