Chapter 383: Chapter 269 Emperor Corpse_3
If they were to face off directly, even if he used all his trump cards, it would be difficult for him to hold out for even one round with his current strength.
it seemed that the Emperor Corpse had just awakened and hadn’t managed to make a move. Otherwise, Gu Qingfeng suspected that he would have been doomed there.
After leaving the Life Forbidden Zone, Gu Qingfeng transformed into a rainbow light and vanished into the void in an instant.
in a desolate mountain,
Gu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, directly creating a cave abode, then set his gaze upon Gu Xiu.
He could feel that Gu Xiu’s life force was ebbing away, his vital essence enveloped by a layer of sinister black mist invisible to the naked eye, incessantly devouring his flesh and blood.
was the fundamental reason why Gu Xiu was growing increasingly weaker.
Gu Qingfeng’s brow slightly raised as he recalled the words from the information panel and instantly understood what this was.
Gu Qingfeng infused his own vital essence into Gu Xiu. The moment the resolute and masculine force touched the black mist, a sharp screech suddenly echoed within the silent cave.
the black mist started dissipating from Gu Xiu bit by bit.
the black mist dispersed,
and Gu Xiu’s breath also became much smoother.
Gu Qingfeng took out a Divine Blood Pill, stuffed the elixir directly into the other’s mouth, and the latter instinctively swallowed it.
Upon ingestion of the elixir,
Gu Xiu’s complexion visibly quickened to a healthier glow.
Gu Qingfeng’s face finally relaxed, he then sat down cross-legged beside him to silently recover his own strength.
The battle in the Life Forbidden Zone had also significantly taxed him, and expelling the sinister black mist from Gu Xiu’s body had further increased his exertion.
Gu Qingfeng finally had time to recover himself.
For three consecutive days,
Gu Xiu remained in deep sleep.
Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, looked at the still-sleeping Gu Xiu, and suddenly let out a cold snort.
“Aren’t you waking up yet? How long do you plan to sleep?”
Gu Xiu’s body trembled, his tightly closed eyes immediately opened and the next moment he hurriedly got up, his expression full of reverence.
He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Gu Qingfeng let out a cold snort, “You still remember you have a father like me?”
“Venturing alone into the Demon Realm, stepping into the Life Forbidden Zone, have you thought about your father, have you thought about your mother?”
Gu Xiu’s lips quivered and in the end, he could only lower his head to admit his error.
Gu Qingfeng said coldly, “I ask you, why didn’t you return to the Gu Family when you faced trouble in the Southern Domain?”
“My actions incurred many powerful enemies, I… I didn’t want to bring trouble home!”
Gu Xiu truthfully responded.
“I see you haven’t managed to reassure me at all, had your father arrived a day later, you would have already been buried in the Life Forbidden Zone!”
Gu Xiu repeated the same words again, offering no challenge.
Looking at Gu Xiu, who was nearly in his prime, and seeing the face of apology before him, Gu Qingfeng wanted to continue his scoldings but eventually just sighed.
“Why did you enter the Life Forbidden Zone?”
Noticing that Gu Qingfeng’s tone had softened, Gu Xiu dared to raise his head.
“Not long ago, I entered an ancient secret realm and seized the Phoenix Essence Blood within it, which enraged the parties from the Demon Realm, seeking to collectively hunt me down.
As a last resort, I fled into the Life Forbidden Zone!”
“Phoenix Essence Blood?”
Gu Qingfeng’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this.
Gu Xiu took out a jade box from the storage ring.
“This is the Phoenix Essence Blood!”
“Regrettably, my cultivation is too weak to refine such powerful essence blood; now it serves best as an offering to my father!”
Towards the end, Gu Xiu’s face displayed a somewhat ingratiating smile.
Gu Qingfeng fell silent for a moment.
Despite the barriers of the jade box, he could still sense the terrifying power contained within.
Merely from this, one could infer how formidable the Phoenix Essence Blood was.
Gu Qingfeng placed the jade box into the Heavenly Cloud Ring, then said, “Phoenix Essence Blood is of no use to me, but your second brother recently obtained the incomplete Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body, and he indeed needs the Phoenix Essence Blood.
Thus, I will temporarily keep it.”
Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts shifted, and an ancient cauldron appeared abruptly.
“This is the Cloud Thunder Cauldron, ranked as a Holy Weapon; keep it for your protection!”
As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng had already erased his connection with the Cloud Thunder Cauldron and casually tossed this treasure to Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu, looking at the Cloud Thunder Cauldron before him, was visibly shocked.
He was well aware of how precious a Holy Weapon was.
Gu Xiu could never have imagined that one day, a Holy Weapon would be casually thrown at him .
Gu Xiu’s face was filled with emotion: “Father…”
“Stop the nonsense, I ask you, which faction mainly led the demons that besieged you?”
Gu Qingfeng directly interrupted the other and went on to ask.
Gu Xiu was slightly taken aback, although not understanding why Gu Qingfeng would ask this, he still truthfully answered.
“The demons that besieged me were mostly led by the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land!”
“How much do you know about the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land?”
“The Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was established twenty thousand years ago, and rumor has it that eighty thousand years ago, a Demon Lord from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land emerged, who was comparable to a Great Saint and brought its strength to its peak.
But ever since that Demon Lord faded away, although many Saints and Demon Lords have come forth from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, they have never produced a second such Demon Lord.
Currently, in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land…”
Gu Xiu was about to divulge all information about the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land,
but he was cut off by Gu Qingfeng before he could finish.
Gu Xiu was momentarily unable to grasp the situation.
Gu Qingfeng spoke indifferently, “Naturally, we’re going to the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land!”
