Geng Metal Spirit Body
Is this the God of Gu?
Ning Qi raised an eyebrow.
Looking at the face that was so similar to Lan Yiyi's, he knew that his previous speculation was correct, and the words of the Gu God further confirmed it.
However, what Ning Qi was most concerned about was the faint golden light emanating from the surface of the Gu God's body.
It was this golden light that blocked the giant celestial sword.
"This golden light seems to emanate from within, possessing an extraordinary hardness that subtly restrains the sharpness of the Sword Qi energy?" Ning Qi activated his Golden Eyes of Truth and had already discerned some of the truth.
Perhaps this is the source of the Gu God's confidence.
Lan Yiyi trembled uncontrollably as she listened to the words of the Gu God, and she screamed in anger:
"Get out! You're not your daughter, get out of here!"
She found it hard to accept.
Qin Yun was in agony, wishing he could take her place. He held Lan Yiyi's limp body and glared at the Gu God.
"A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to be a father!"
The Gu God wasn't angry; he simply observed Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi with a leisurely air, and smiled:
"So that's where your half of life essence went. You've found your ideal husband, but your taste isn't very good, far inferior to your mother's. That's fine, though, since you both came here together, it saves me the trouble of searching for him myself."
Although he was smiling, his eyes were utterly indifferent, even when he was looking at his own daughter.
Lan Yiyi's eyes were bloodshot.
The person in front of her treated her as a tool. From birth to adulthood, her life had been manipulated, and much of it was a lie.
If she could, she would love to personally rip off the head of the person in front of her.
Qin Yun grasped her hand, staring coldly at the God of Gu:
"How arrogant! Give me some time, and you'll know what despair is."
The Gu God scoffed, losing all interest in talking to these two ants. He knew that the key to today's events lay not in these two, but in the young Daoist who had remained silent. The terrifying Sword Qi he had witnessed while the Daoist was asleep had made him somewhat wary, and although he had managed to block it, it was enough to demonstrate the other party's extraordinary nature.
"You must be the Ancient Saint of the Heavenly Sword, right?" the Gu God chuckled. "How about we make a deal?"
Ning Qi remained silent. He activated his Golden Eyes, attempting to discern the essence of the golden light and find the opponent's weakness.
By observing the flow of energy on the golden surface, he had already made a guess.
That... appeared to be a golden skeleton.
Seeing that Ning Qi remained silent, the Gu God continued on his own:
"If you give me these two, I'll owe you a favor. In return, I'll help you out once in the future, no questions asked."
He was very confident.
Once they reach the Martial Saint, they will be among the most powerful people in the world. Such favors are incredibly valuable. At their level, they know exactly what they want: to pursue higher and farther paths.
He awaited Ning Qi's reply.
But Ning Qi smiled.
"Not good."
The God of Gu frowned.
"You can't do anything to me. Rather than angering a powerful enemy, it's better to turn them into friends. You won't have to pay any price."
As he spoke.
The golden light on his body suddenly surged, as if weaving into a golden spiritual armor, demonstrating powerful defensive capabilities.
He was demonstrating.
Ning Qi said calmly:
"Compared to that, I'm more interested in the skeleton inside your body."
The Gu God was both angry and alarmed. He was angry at Ning Qi's domineering attitude, and alarmed that Ning Qi had seen through his true strength. However, he quickly calmed himself down.
"Fine, since that's how it is, let's just give it a try."
His eyes were indifferent. Since the other party was unwilling to negotiate, then let's fight. Even if it was an ancient saint, he was not afraid!
The words had barely left his mouth.
His body shone with golden light, and streams of spiritual energy surged from his body, mixing with the golden light to form a golden fist imprint that pressed down. The fist imprint was like an ancient mountain, full of weight, and the entire void seemed to freeze.
But Ning Qi was even faster.
The white dragon roared to the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist. The divine dragon could only be seen by its tail, not its head. Then the True Dragon reached out its claws and grabbed at the Gu God. Under the dragon's claws, space itself was distorted. Ning Qi casually waved his hand, and Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi were immediately taken into the White Mist behind them. It was better not to get too close to this level of battle, so that Ning Qi would not have to spend energy taking care of them.
The dragon claw and the golden fist collided with a deafening roar.
A terrifying explosion resounded through the sky, and shockwaves spread outwards from the center of the impact, instantly shattering the already ruined ancestral land once again.
The Gu God roared:
"So-called ancient sages were nothing more than this!"
He laughed loudly, his figure soaring into the sky, golden light mixed with spiritual power swirling around him, exuding an explosive power.
Ning Qi raised an eyebrow slightly.
He figured it out.
The amount of spiritual power controlled by the Gu God in front of them was quite abundant, but the way he operated it was very crude.
"Is this Blood Emperor Gu really that useful?"
Ning Qi recalled the origin of the Blood Emperor Gu's cultivation: it was first refined by absorbing the essence of human blood and various precious medicinal herbs to create the Blood King Gu, and then numerous Blood King Gu fought each other to finally become the Blood Emperor Gu. How could such a rich Spirituality be cultivated through such a method?
He was somewhat surprised.
"It seems that there may be an extremely faint Spirituality within the human body, and the resonance between each person and the universe at the moment their Root Bone is formed may be due to this reason."
While he was pondering, his movements were by no means slow.
The white dragon unleashed its power, spewing forth a shimmering white light. Upon closer inspection, it resembled strands of rain, possessing a bone-corroding power. The Gu God then condensed a giant golden palm, but it was instantly pierced through by the shimmering white rain, riddled with holes.
The Gu God's expression changed.
The person before him possessed a far superior understanding of the manipulation of spiritual energy, with unpredictable and Spirit Transformation far beyond his own capabilities.
"But so what? I'm only one step away from becoming a true Martial Saint. Even ancient saints would have to give way now!" he roared, his power erupting continuously.
It's obvious.
He had completely refined the power of the Blood Emperor Gu, and felt a sense of inexhaustible power.
But Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged.
Through repeated probing, he gradually figured out the true nature of the Gu God. The Gu God was stronger than ordinary fake saints, and its source was in the golden skeleton within his body.
now.
A continuous stream of golden light burst forth from his body, then condensed into golden blades. However, Ning Qi could tell that the power was being circulated very superficially. With a wave of his hand, he once again condensed a sky sword as numerous as stars.
All swords return to their origin!
In an instant.
The Heavenly Sword and the Golden Saber clashed.
The roaring sound was incessant.
Then a giant celestial sword materialized and fiercely suppressed the Gu God, its power even stronger than before.
But the Gu God grinned maliciously.
I've already told you, you can't do anything to me!
More and more golden light emanated from his body, and golden spiritual armor condensed on his surface. The sharpness of the giant celestial sword was blocked by the golden light of the spiritual armor, and the Gu God was blasted away by hundreds of feet. The golden light on his body also dimmed a lot, but it was obvious that he was still very relaxed.
"How about it?" he laughed, his confidence growing even stronger.
"Your sword, no matter how powerful, is useless!"
His protective golden aura somewhat restrained the sharpness of this Sword Dao.
Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi's expressions changed slightly.
The power of the Gu God was beyond their imagination. Most importantly, they also realized that the Gu God seemed unafraid of Ning Qi's sword.
But Ning Qi's expression remained calm.
"Yeah?"
The Gu God, who was laughing wildly, felt a tremor in his heart. Then his pupils widened suddenly. He saw an incomparably beautiful Sword Qi shoot out from the void, and a thin spatial rift extended out. It was extremely terrifying. This Sword Qi was slashing towards the Gu God. It was extremely sudden and its power was incredibly strong.
It was Ning Qi's newly nurtured innate divine Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi had previously severed the left arm of the Crimson Sun Martial Saint, demonstrating its formidable power.
The Gu God was terrified.
He mustered all his strength to activate the golden light protecting his body, trying to avoid this terrifying Sword Qi. He had a feeling that if he tried to withstand it head-on, he would have to pay a considerable price.
But unfortunately...
It's too difficult.
The speed of the innate divine Sword Qi was terrifying; it arrived in the blink of an eye.
The Gu God can only withstand it.
He roared to the sky, golden light spreading and enveloping his entire body. A strange buzzing sound rang out from within his body. Lan Yiyi's eyes widened:
"This is..."
Ning Qi formed a sword Sword Art, and the Sword Qi slashed out like a swimming dragon.
In an instant.
The golden light shattered, Sword Qi swept through the enemy like a tidal wave. The Gu God's body was pulverized by the Sword Qi. He made a quick decision and used all the golden light to protect his head. After that, the crisp clanging sounds continued, with only a few cracking sounds.
Wait until all the sounds have faded away.
Qin Yun couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, the Gu God had changed drastically. The innate divine Sword Qi melted away all of its flesh and blood, leaving only a head. However, there was not nothing on its torso. A golden skeleton shone brightly, and its internal organs were tightly wrapped in layers of golden light. The bones were covered with dense sword marks, some of which were neatly severed.
Such a horrifying scene clearly resembles a skull with a severed human head, utterly grotesque.
The Gu God laughed shrilly:
"I told you, you can't do anything to me! This is your strongest move, isn't it? Now, it's a fight to the death!"
He hated Ning Qi so much for meddling in other people's business; otherwise, he wouldn't have had to pay such a price.
Ning Qi stared intently at it.
The golden frame was imbued with a rich Spirituality, comparable to the Yu King Pearl and the Great Sun Compass.
Lan Yiyi's shocked voice rang out:
"The Gold-Devouring Gu! You actually fused with the Gold-Devouring Gu! You didn't cultivate the Blood Emperor Gu for direct consumption at all, but rather to make the Gold-Devouring Gu merge with you!"
Fearing that Ning Qi might be taken advantage of for not knowing the details, she spoke very quickly:
"The Gold-Eating Gu is a legendary divine Gu from our Southern Frontier. It feeds on metal and can extract its essence to feed back to its host, metallicizing their bones. This divine Gu has an extremely high potential, entirely dependent on nurture. The more metal it consumes, the higher its quality, and the stronger it becomes. His golden skeleton is the result of fusing the power of the Gold-Eating Gu!"
"He is the Gold-Devouring Gu now, the Gold-Devouring Gu is him, this madman!"
Ning Qi suddenly understood.
All the mysteries have been solved.
It turns out that the Gu God cultivated the Blood Emperor Gu not to directly reach the Martial Saint realm. He probably knew that reaching the Martial Saint in this way had flaws and limitations, so he simply took a different approach, using the power of the Blood Emperor Gu as a guide to fuse himself with the Gold Devouring Gu, thus creating such a skeleton rich in Spirituality energy.
Ning Qi had been wondering why the Gu God could control so much spiritual power, and now he had the answer.
but.
Ning Qi had another question.
The source of this Gu God's method is unknown; if it wasn't created by the Gu God himself, he would never believe it.
now.
The Gu God finally stopped laughing and looked at Lan Yiyi with a mocking expression:
"Truly my good daughter, so insightful. What do you think of my newly forged Geng Metal Spiritual Body?"
He slowly turned around, brazenly displaying his golden skeleton.
It was clear that he was extremely satisfied with it.
"As long as you offer your life essence, our blood will merge, and my Geng Metal spirit body will be completely Perfection. At that time, I will stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
He opened his arms, and his golden arm bones gleamed.
Lan Yiyi's face turned ugly.
No wonder even such powerful Sword Qi couldn't harm the Gu God; the root of the problem lies here.
Ning Qi laughed:
"This Geng Metal Spirit Body is indeed excellent; it can help me deepen my foundation."
Such a spiritual entity is comparable to a metal-attribute Martial Saint's secret treasure.
Ning Qi was deeply moved.
There was a hint of passion in his eyes.
The Gu God sensed that gaze and felt extremely uncomfortable. He knew that Ning Qi had seen him as prey, and he sneered:
"You're welcome to try and see if your sword can sever my spirit. Be careful, or you'll break your teeth!"
His original Gengjin spiritual body was not Perfection, and his flesh and blood were actually a constraint. Now that his spiritual body has been completely released, he can unleash his spiritual power more recklessly and unimpeded.
Inadvertently, this offset the effects of the injury.
A burst of golden light erupted, and spiritual energy surged immensely.
Ning Qi had to admit that this was the most concentrated spiritual energy he had ever seen, after all, even the Martial Saint and the others had never unleashed such power.
But he was fearless.
"Who said I only have a sword?"
Ning Qi chuckled softly.
This Gengjin spirit body does indeed have some restraint on the sharpness of the Sword Dao, but how could he not know that all those previous attempts were just to sever the Gu God's physical body and make him reveal the true appearance of this golden skeleton? From the very beginning, Ning Qi had already used his Golden Eye of Truth to see the flaws in it.
"Your spiritual body is not yet Perfection; it is hard enough, but its resilience may not be sufficient."
The white dragon's previous release of fine threads of light was a test, which made Ning Qi even more confident. Now, it's time to test the results.
The Gu God's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to remain calm and said:
"Go ahead and give it a try!"
Ning Qi raised his hand.
In an instant, two beams of light shot into the sky, one pure white and the other crimson.
When the light landed, the white object was revealed to be a warm, spinning pearl, while the crimson object was a mysterious Compass radiating intense heat.
Yu Wang Zhu!
Great Sun Compass!
The Gu God grew increasingly uneasy. He stirred up the golden light, transforming it into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, attempting to interfere.
However, the white dragon had already made its move first. The spiritual power of the Yu King Pearl surged forth, making the white dragon even more powerful, and its entire body gradually showed a tendency to turn light blue. On the other side, the Great Sun Compass also shone brightly.
This was accompanied by a similarly powerful long cry.
A True Dragon, radiating an extremely scorching aura, materialized.
Two True Dragon raced side by side, one of water and one of fire, their power surging!
