C59 Unforeseen Disaster
Gu Xuan picked up the last Animal Crystal, the one that Chen Zihan gifted to him before he left, and started to hesitate.
The most dangerous step of the Blood Refinement Scripture was the final step, the opening of the fiftieth Chakra. This step required a third stage Animal Crystal as a primer, to attack the heavenly law and was incomparably dangerous.
There was a ninety-nine percent chance that an ordinary person would fail. Although the toughness of Gu Xuan's body was different from a normal person's, it was not guaranteed that he would be a hundred percent success.
If he gave up, then forty-nine Chakra s would have already surpassed his previous life, and their futures would still be limitless. Although they had severed the road to Saint Stage, reaching Peak Monarch Stage was enough to dominate Burning Heaven Continent.
If it was swallowed, the person who succeeded would become the first person on the continent to reach the limits of the heaven's way, and if it failed, their foundation would be shattered, and all their hard work would instantly disappear into nothingness.
"Damn it, let's go all out!" "If I die, I die!"
Gu Xuan suddenly slapped out his palm, smashing a stone beside him into pieces, relieving the anxiety in his heart. He then grabbed the Animal Crystal and swallowed it into his stomach.
Boom!
The moment the Animal Crystal entered his stomach, a burst of berserk Qi surged, as though it was a sharp blade that swept towards Gu Xuan's body.
"Pfft!"
Without any resistance, Gu Xuan was immediately struck and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Beast King Animal Crystal!"
Although he did not understand the level of Animal Crystal, according to his estimations, although a third stage Animal Crystal was strong, it was definitely not to this extent, and even more so, it was impossible for it to instantly shatter his meridians.
"How could it be the Beast King Animal Crystal!" Gu Xuan's face turned pale white. He was 70% confident that he could withstand the attack of a third stage Animal Crystal, but when the beast king Animal Crystal's vitality surged, it was not something he could resist. And now, if he could not withstand it, not only his foundation would be destroyed, but his entire body would be destroyed!
"Ice Soul Cold Flame, suppress him!"
Gu Xuan roared as he controlled the Heaven Flames to cover his meridians, forming a protective barrier.
Boom boom!
Although his meridians were protected by Ice Soul Cold Flame, Gu Xuan's skin could not endure it any longer and cracked in many places due to it being unable to hold on.
"What's going on?" Yun Xi, who was originally in deep sleep recuperating, was also startled awake. Seeing Gu Xuan like this, she was also shocked.
"Gu Xuan, what's wrong?" Yun Xi asked anxiously.
"Dammit, I was tricked to death by Chen Zihan, this is not a beast king Animal Crystal, but a beast king Animal Crystal, my body can't take it any longer and it split open!" Gu Xuan scolded in frustration.
Chen Zihan would never have thought that her kind offer did not cause Gu Xuan to feel the joy of an accident and had even pushed Gu Xuan to the edge of death.
"Gu Xuan, I'm sorry … "I thought you would still need some time to refine it. I didn't think that you would refine it so quickly. I didn't have the time to tell you, wuwu, you're a dead freak, don't die …"
Yun Xi's heart was filled with guilt. She had already recognized the quality of the Animal Crystal, but she had not said it out loud due to her anger. Now that she saw Gu Xuan's appearance, even her voice became teary.
"I'm not going to die yet. I don't believe that he can kill me today, so what if he possesses the beast King Level? You can suppress me!"
Gu Xuan activated his Strength of Fire to fight against the berserk energy, ignoring the fact that the injuries caused by the clash of the two different types of Qi at all.
"Get out!" Gu Xuan was also completely enraged at this moment. So what if the beast king and Animal Crystal were here, so what if they were inside his body?
However, Gu Xuan did not care about all this. Even if he died, he, Tang Tang, could not lose to this mere beast King Level Animal Crystal!
"Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan!"
Gu Xuan's consciousness gradually blurred, and could only faintly hear Yun Xi's shouts. After that, Gu Xuan's consciousness completely returned to the Primal Chaos.
Gu Xuan had already become a man of blood, but his heart was still beating loudly, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
"Wu wu wu, Gu Xuan!"
Yun Xi floated outside, and upon seeing Gu Xuan's miserable state, if not for the thumping sounds of Gu Xuan's heart, which was like a drum, and the fact that Yun Xi absorbed all of the air within thirty meters of him every single time into her body, Yun Xi would not have believed that she was still alive.
"Gu Xuan, don't die. If you don't die, I will give you all the treasures, no, I will split half of the treasures with you and marry you, okay?" Yun Xi circled around Gu Xuan, but Gu Xuan was not affected by his shouts.
...
One month passed in an instant, and both Gu Sen and Gu Tianmo had already broken through.
Old Man Gui had already reached Grade Four Alchemist, and helped Gu Tianmo refine an Opening Spirit Pill. After consuming the Enlightenment Spirit Pill, all the hidden Strength of Fire in their bodies were finally released, and they entered the Peak Profound Level.
As for Gu Sen, his Eight Stars Profound Level, it still remained unchanged. However, after being guided by Gu Xuan, his progress in that cultivation technique was extremely quick, and was already incomparable to before. Even Gu Tianmo, whose strength had greatly increased by Gu Sen's side, felt his body become much heavier.
"Tian Mo, have you seen Xuan Er before?" Gu Sen looked around, but did not see Gu Xuan, and frowned as he asked him.
"Second Uncle, Xuan Er has always been cultivating on his own. Even my senior brother and I don't seem to know much about it, not to mention me." Gu Tianmo laughed bitterly. As a father, he did not even know the whereabouts of his son.
He previously thought that Gu Xuan was cultivating at Old Man Gui's place, but even though he had been cultivating at Old Man Gui's place for a month, Gu Xuan had never come here once.
Gu Tianmo had also asked the Old Man Gui whether he had accepted Gu Xuan as his disciple. This casual question made the Old Man Gui stutter, and only vaguely stated that he was only on the same level as Gu Xuan, but was rejected.
What kind of existence was the Old Man Gui? That was a King Level expert, not to mention that he did not have any Zhanshan County City. Even in the entire Great Desolate Empire, the number of King Level experts could be counted on one hand.
In Gu Tianmo's eyes, it was fine if Gu Xuan was willing to take King Level Expert as his master, but interacting with others of the same generation, it was simply an inconceivable matter. Gu Xuan was just a kid with Spirit Level, how could he be comparable to Old Man Gui?
However, Old Man Gui did not seem like he was joking. This made Gu Tianmo feel both happy and shocked.
"Forget it, there might be a problem with the Xuan Er and it will be here soon. Let's go to the training field first." Gu Sen thought for a while before waving his hand and saying.
"Sure." Gu Tianmo also nodded.
Although this was an arranged battle between Su Chen and Su Chen, it was actually also a battle between Su Family s. As Most Powerful s of the Gu Family, the two of them also had to react on the side.
At this moment, there was no way for a single drop of water to leak out from the training grounds.
Gu Xuan was already an influential figure in the County City, and the battle with Su Chen had been pushed to the heart of the struggle. For the younger generation, they had to disregard the difference in age, to fight against the Martial Cultivator of the older generation.
Moreover, there was the matter of talking about talents with Liu Shen, which caused many people to be unable to resist, wanting to see whether Gu Xuan was truly confident or not, and was only spouting nonsense.
As for the cause of all this, Gu Xuan, he was still deep in his sleep.
The injuries on Gu Xuan's body had already healed, there was a thick layer of blood on his body, and he looked even more terrifying than before.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!"
Gu Xuan's heartbeat was like muffled thunder at the moment. If not for the desolate place behind the Gu Family, it would have attracted many people.
With every breath Gu Xuan took, he would suck in all the air within three hundred meters of him into his abdomen, and then, he would violently exhale. The compressed air was like the edge of a blade, and some of the rocks in front of him shattered like tofu.
After a long time, a ravine was actually formed in front of Gu Xuan.
"What a freak!" Yun Xi stood at the side and could not help but mutter to herself. Although there were different people that were trying to break through to the Chakra, it was still the first time Yun Xi had heard of someone with such a huge power.
Ka ka!
Just as Yun Xi was about to fly back into Gu Xuan's body, the blood flail on his body finally started to show signs of breaking apart.
