As Gu Sheng's soul returned to his body, his face instantly turned pale as paper. His body swayed slightly, and he could not help coughing violently, with even a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Briefly leaving his body and unleashing such a powerful killing technique had placed an enormous burden on him as well.
Elsewhere, the instant the Blood Demon spirit body was crushed, Huang Batian's originally grotesquely mutated body suddenly stiffened. All light instantly vanished from his six scarlet eyes, leaving them hollow and empty.
He lowered his head blankly, staring at his hands covered in dark-red demonic patterns. Then he touched the two extra pairs of eyes on his face and the sharp fangs in his mouth, his expression filled with confusion and disbelief.
"Power... my power... Lord Blood Demon... is gone? How is that possible... This is impossible!!!"
As though unable to accept this fact, he suddenly clutched his head and let out shrill, hysterical screams and roars like a mad demon!
Without the Blood Demon's power sustaining it, his forcibly reconstructed and mutated flesh began to show countless fine, spiderweb-like cracks. Dark-red light shone through those fissures.
"No... no!! I am Thousand Jun Sect's number one prodigy! I was destined to stand at the summit! How could I..."
"Rumble—!!!"
Before he could finish, his body could no longer hold together. After violently swelling, it collapsed with a thunderous explosion! It burst into countless chunks of flesh that still emitted residual demonic energy, raining down from the sky to meet the same fate as his previous body.
Gu Sheng slowly calmed the churning blood and turbulent sea of consciousness within him. His gaze swept across the scattered remains on the ground, and he frowned slightly.
Xiao Beixuan... the Blood Demon race...
