Chapter 342: Shenxiao Purple Extreme, Attacking with Both Hands

Long Yao was not a fool. Her talent in the Gu Dao was outstanding, far superior to the younger generation of Martial Artists in the Gu God Sect.

She had been momentarily stunned by the identity of this Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall, which was why she hadn’t reacted immediately.

Now, upon closer inspection, she also sensed that something was off.

Meanwhile, the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall, receiving no response from Long Yao, had an increasingly vicious glint in his eyes.

The obsession he left behind was a desire for someone to inherit his legacy and perfect his ‘Human Gu’ refinement method.

But now, with no response, the two people before him were his Blood Food!

Taking a deep breath, the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall let out a piercing shriek.

In an instant, the four top-tier Poisonous Insects, including the Blood Spirit Celestial Eye Moth, all charged toward Chen Yuan and Long Yao.

Long Yao raised her hand and released a large swarm of black, wasp-like Poisonous Insects, but before they could get close, the mouth of the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall suddenly opened.

His mouth was no longer filled with teeth but resembled the mandibles of an insect. A powerful suction force emanated from it, directly pulling all of Long Yao’s Poisonous Insects into his stomach.

In the next moment, the Vitality of his body actually grew a bit stronger, causing Long Yao’s expression to change drastically.

“Don’t use your Poisonous Insects yet. The more you use, the more he’ll devour, and the stronger his Vitality and power will become.”

“His power isn’t too outrageous right now because there haven’t been many Poisonous Insects around for him to consume over the years.”

“He can only survive by keeping his body in a state of extremely low activity, and he has to sink to the bottom of the Cold Pool, using the frigid energy to freeze part of his flesh and reduce its activity to an absolute minimum.”

“So, from now on, we absolutely cannot let him devour a single Poisonous Insect. That includes these four—you need to lure them away and capture them. Are you confident you can do it?”

Chen Yuan spoke quickly before the four Poisonous Insects reached them.

In truth, Chen Yuan was completely confident he could deal with these four Poisonous Insects. Without a Gu Master to control them, they were merely powerful bugs. Their strength might be great, but they could only fight on instinct, making them simple to defeat.

However, Chen Yuan’s attacks were too powerful, and he still needed the Blood Spirit Celestial Eye Moth to refine the Blood Spirit Heaven-Tearing Gu. It had to be captured alive.

Hearing this, Long Yao gritted her teeth and said, “No problem!”

In reality, facing four top-tier Poisonous Insects alone put her under immense pressure.

But since Chen Yuan was willing to face the Master of Ten Thousand Gu Hall head-on, she couldn’t let him down.

Besides, compared to facing the Poisonous Insects, she was even more reluctant to face that monster.

Long Yao took out a small gourd, poured out a jet-black Elixir Pill, and crushed it.

An intensely strange fragrance instantly wafted out, and the four Poisonous Insects immediately headed straight for Long Yao.

With a flicker of her body, Long Yao immediately fled outward.

Not only the Poisonous Insects, but even the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall was drawn by the strange scent, steering his Gu Insect Lotus Platform straight toward Long Yao.

His True Spirit had long since dissipated, leaving behind only an empty shell with a hint of obsession. All that remained was the instinct of a Poisonous Insect, so naturally, he was lured by an Elixir designed to attract them.

Chen Yuan drew his bow, and a Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow shot directly toward the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall.

As the power of the arrow howled toward him, the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall opened his mouth and shrieked. Instantly, countless golden Poisonous Insects flew out of his mouth, forming a giant shield in front of him.

A loud BANG resounded as a large swath of the Poisonous Insects was blasted apart, but the remaining insects actually devoured the power of the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow completely.

Then, the surviving Poisonous Insects converged, forming what looked like a golden arrow that shot straight for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly. The Master of Ten Thousand Gu Hall had used countless Poisonous Insects to refine this ‘Human Gu’ body, so he possessed the powers of almost every Poisonous Insect in the Ten Thousand Gu Hall, including the ability to devour energy.

As the golden Poisonous Insects reached him, the Li Yan Blood Fiend on Chen Yuan’s Blood Sea Listening Tide suddenly erupted.

In terms of raw Blood Fiend Power, the death-infused Nether Blood Fiend was undoubtedly a notch stronger.

But against creatures like Poisonous Insects, the Fire Attribute Li Yan Blood Fiend was more suitable.

At the same time, starfire blazed within Chen Yuan’s Dantian and Reincarnation Sea as his Celestial Fire Power was pushed to its limit. With a downward slash, a Blood Flame Sword Aura shot across the sky, completely tearing apart and incinerating the golden Poisonous Insects, reducing them to ashes.

But in the next instant, the body of the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall began to mutate.

The Poisonous Insect organs inside him squirmed, as if countless cocoons were rapidly hatching within.

His abdomen burst open, and in a flash, an endless, overwhelming tide of various Poisonous Insects swarmed madly toward Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan’s expression changed abruptly. He hastily retreated, merging his Li Yan Blood Fiend and Celestial Fire Power to form a protective shield around him, resisting the impact of the dense swarm.

Although the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall could only submerge himself in the Cold Pool to maintain the lowest possible consumption of Vitality, he still retained enough power to hatch so many Poisonous Insects.

One could only imagine how terrifying his power must have been ten thousand years ago when he had just finished refining this ‘Human Gu’ body, still possessed his own consciousness, and could use even more Gu Techniques.

Even now, with his power at its absolute lowest, any other Condensing Truth Realm Martial Artist would be devoured in an instant.

It was only because Chen Yuan possessed the Li Yan Blood Fiend and Celestial Fire Power that he could withstand the creature’s might.

The dense swarm of Poisonous Insects continuously gnawed away at Chen Yuan’s power, and soon, he felt he could no longer hold on.

‘Heaven knows how much Vitality the Master of the Ten thousand Gu Hall has left. If I let this drag on, once my power is depleted, I’ll be devoured by these Poisonous Insects in an instant!’

Chen Yuan formed a Seal Technique with his hands, and Dao Essence suffused the air around him. The vast Dao Essence Power instantly overwhelmed the Li Yan Blood Fiend and Celestial Fire Power.

In the next moment, the silvery-white Shenxiao Sky Thunder Power erupted from Chen Yuan’s left hand, while the bluish-purple Purple Sky Shocking Thunder Power coalesced in his right.

The lightning formed into swords. In an instant, the Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword and the Purple Sky Demon Slaying Sword struck simultaneously. Amidst the howling, sky-filling lightning, they carved a path straight through the dense swarm of insects!

If any Martial Artists from the Shenxiao Sect were present to witness Chen Yuan wielding both the Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword and the Purple Sky Demon Slaying Sword like this, they would surely be horrified.

Both of these were top-tier Secret Techniques of the Shenxiao Sect and consumed enormous amounts of energy. Most Martial Artists could only choose to cultivate one of them.

Even those capable of mastering both Secret Techniques would choose to fuse them, attempting to cultivate the Shenxiao Purple Extreme Celestial Punishment Tribulation Thunder.

Yet here was Chen Yuan, wielding one in each hand, simultaneously using two Shenxiao Sect Secret Techniques. To use them in such a manner was an extreme test of a Martial Artist’s power reserves and control.

At the very least, no one in the Shenxiao Sect dared to use them this way. A single mistake could lead to a backlash from the immense Thunder Power, burning oneself to a crisp. Only a freak like Chen Yuan would dare to attempt it.

Then, Chen Yuan drew his bow again. The Li Yan Blood Fiend around him instantly switched to Nether Blood Fiend. A vast aura of death poured into the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow, transforming it into a pitch-black bolt that radiated astonishing power.

The pitch-black arrow pulsed with terrifying power, causing the hand Chen Yuan used to hold it to tremble. The flesh on his arm split open, revealing a web of bloody lines.

This was the strongest state of the Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow that Chen Yuan could currently control. He had named it the Nine Prisons State.

Converting the Power of Life and Death, one arrow to pierce the Nine Prisons, a flight straight into death!

With a piercing whistle, the pitch-black arrow, like a roaring Black Dragon, shot down the path carved by the Shenxiao Evil-slaying Sword and the Purple Sky Demon Slaying Sword, heading straight for the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall!

By now, there were no Poisonous Insects left in front to intercept Chen Yuan’s arrow. The body of the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall squirmed rapidly as large, carapace-covered Poisonous Insects hastily emerged from within him.

The carapaces on these Poisonous Insects’ backs looked as if they were cast from Bronze. They were only the size of a thumb when born, but they rapidly absorbed the Vitality from the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall, instantly swelling to the size of watermelons.

The Bronze carapaces opened up like massive shields, protecting the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall.

But there was too little time; he had only managed to hastily create a dozen or so of these defensive Poisonous Insects.

Before Chen Yuan’s arrow, these Poisonous Insects were all blown apart, their carapaces and flesh shattering and scattering everywhere.

The black arrow then instantly pierced through the body of the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall. Black blood splattered as it tore completely through his flesh!

The Nine Prisons State Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow was saturated with a dense aura of death. After it struck, the powerful death energy eroded the Vitality, directly corroding and destroying the Poisonous Insect organs around the wound in the Master’s body.

The Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall let out a furious roar. In an instant, a large number of insect corpses fell from the Gu Insect Lotus Platform beneath him, their Vitality all siphoned into his body to repair the wound Chen Yuan had inflicted.

But Chen Yuan would not give it the chance. He leaped forward, pushing his Li Yan Blood Fiend and Celestial Fire Power to their absolute limits. In an instant, Chen Yuan was wreathed in blood flames that scorched the heavens, his aura unbelievably ferocious.

At the same time, his eyes seemed to contain flowing rivers of stars as they erupted with a brilliant, dazzling divine light.

Chen Yuan also pushed his Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill to its limit, gazing at the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall.

This Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall had refined himself together with Poisonous Insects. Strictly speaking, he was no longer human, and his vital points were different from a normal person’s.

He actually had four life cores in his body: one in the Lotus Platform he sat on, one in his heart, one in his head, and another in his Dantian, which Chen Yuan had already destroyed with the Nine Prisons State Mulan Continuous Jail-Piercing Arrow.

A dense Sword Qi manifested around Chen Yuan. The blood flames merged with the Sword Qi, transforming into Heaven-Burning Destruction Sword Qi that surged toward the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall.

This time, however, Chen Yuan’s Heaven-Burning Destruction Sword Qi split into three streams, each one targeting one of the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall’s three remaining life cores.

The rampaging, intense Heaven-Burning Sword Qi madly assaulted the creature’s body. The moment the Master of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall managed to form new Poisonous Insects, they were shredded by the blazing, ferocious Sword Qi.

His insectoid body continuously burned, torn apart by the scorching power of the Heaven-Burning Destruction Sword Qi. Chen Yuan, disregarding the cost, burned his Qi Blood frantically, pushing the might of this Secret Technique to its absolute limit!

Following a series of explosive bangs, the Sword Qi pierced through its body, and the three life cores were utterly shattered!
