197: Harvesting opportunities, mid-stage of Mahayana!

In those tender eyes, there was no childhood ignorance; instead, they held a depth and ruthlessness that had weathered many vicissitudes.

"Finally... I've come out early!"

Gu Changge laughed wildly in his heart.

In this life, he was reborn with the complete memories and insights of a Devil Emperor!

Moreover, he had used those rare Spirit Medicines to establish his Foundation while still in the womb. Even the enlightenment tea that the Gu Family had spared no expense to collect allowed his Divine Soul to awaken early, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds!

"Qi Refining... Foundation Establishment... Golden Core... Nascent Soul..."

With every breath he took, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into his body like a funnel.

His cultivation was actually skyrocketing at a terrifying speed!

The midwives and maids nearby were all dumbfounded.

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

A hint of greed flashed in Gu Changge's eyes.

He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled.

"Heaven Devouring Demonic Art — Spirit Devour!"

Boom!

The Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius was instantly drained.

Even the essence, energy, and spirit within the maids in the room surged toward him uncontrollably, turning them into withered corpses in an instant!

"Ah—"

Screams rang out.

Gu Changge didn't care at all; he only cared about his own power.

Soul Transformation... Void Refining... Body Integration... in just half an hour.

His cultivation had actually soared all the way to the Integration Peak!

And it was still continuing!

"Rumble!"

Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, but were instantly dispersed by the Great Ascension Stage pressure emanating from his body!

Great Ascension Stage!

Entering Mahayana right at birth!

This was simply a miracle!

"Hahaha! Lu Yuan!"

Gu Changge stood up; although he had an infant's body, his demonic might overwhelmed heaven and earth.

"You didn't expect this, did you? This Emperor has returned!"

"This time, this Emperor will personally tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Just as he was getting carried away.

"Boom!"

The void above the Gu Family's ancestral land suddenly shattered.

A slender figure stepped out, looking down indifferently at the Gu Family below.

"Lu Yuan?!"

Gu Changge's pupils constricted suddenly, followed by wild joy: "Good! Very good! This Emperor was just about to find you, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep!"

"Today is the day you die!"

"Devil Emperor True Body, manifest!"

Gu Changge roared, his body swelling with the wind, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall phantom of a demon god, radiating heaven-shaking demonic might.

"What demon star descending to the world, what number one beneath the Void Immortal!"

"Before this Emperor, they are all jokes!"

"Let me show you what true power is!"

"Half-step Void Immortal — break for me!"

He actually burned his Origin once more, forcibly raising his Realm to the level of a Half-step Void Immortal!

At this moment, he felt omnipotent!

Below.

Gu Xuanji looked at his mighty and domineering son in the sky, his eyes full of fanaticism and pride.

"My son is mighty! Kill him! Avenge the Old Ancestor!"

"Kill him!" The people of the Gu Family also shouted their support.

Liu Mengxi was even more filled with pride as she looked at her son: "My son, kill this devil! Our Gu Family is counting on you!"

Facing this insufferable demonic might.

Lu Yuan just watched quietly, a playful arc curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Half-step Void Immortal? Is that strong?"

"Unfortunately, everything you have was given by me."

"Explode!"

Lu Yuan uttered a single word.

"Buzz!"

Gu Changge, who was frantically circulating his mana, suddenly stiffened.

Deep within his Dantian, that long-dormant Chaos Dao Seed suddenly awakened at this moment!

It was like a greedy seed, instantly taking root and sprouting, plunging its roots into every inch of Gu Changge's Meridians, bones, and even his Divine Soul!

"This... what is this?!"

Gu Changge cried out in terror.

He felt his painstakingly cultivated mana, Essence Blood, and even soul power being uncontrollably devoured by that seed!

"No!!!"

"My power! My cultivation!"

"How can this be?!"

Gu Changge struggled desperately, trying to force the seed out.

But the seed seemed to have fused with him, making it impossible to remove.

"This is... enlightenment tea?!"

Gu Changge suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Liu Mengxi below, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.

"It's you! You bitch gave me poisoned enlightenment tea!"

"You've killed me!"

"All of you, die!"

Gu Changge roared and actually struck down with his palm, directly turning the astonished Liu Mengxi into a pulp!

Personally killing his mother!

But even so, he could not stop the loss of his cultivation.

Half-step Void Immortal... Mahayana... Body Integration... in just a few breaths.

Gu Changge was like a punctured balloon; his cultivation plummeted all the way, finally falling directly to the Qi Refinement Stage!

He became an ordinary infant with no power to resist!

"Swish!"

A Chaos Dao Fruit radiating brilliant light flew out of his body and landed in Lu Yuan's hand.

This Dao fruit contained all the essence of Gu Changge's two lives of cultivation, his Demonic Path Laws, and the insights of the Half-step Void Immortal he had just experienced!

"Thank you for the treat."

Lu Yuan swallowed the Dao fruit in one gulp.

"Boom!"

A massive amount of energy exploded within his body.

Lu Yuan's recently stabilized Early Stage Mahayana Realm instantly skyrocketed!

Middle Stage Mahayana!

And his Foundation was incredibly solid!

"No... no..."

Gu Changge slumped on the ground, his eyes full of despair and emptiness.

Lost.

Lost again.

And he lost so completely, so inexplicably.

"It's over."

Lu Yuan didn't give him any more chances for nonsense.

He raised his hand and pressed down.

"Boom!"

The Middle Stage Mahayana pressure descended.

Gu Changge's tiny body instantly shattered, and along with his Divine Soul, he was completely reduced to nothingness.

This time, there would be no more Reincarnation.

After doing all this.

Lu Yuan's cold gaze swept over the people of the Gu Family below.

The crowd that was still cheering moments ago was now scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, kneeling and begging for mercy.

"Spare us! Senior, spare us!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

"Too late."

With a wave of Lu Yuan's wide sleeve, the entire Gu Family was exterminated.

A massive phantom of a Demonic Palace descended, enveloping the entire Gu Family ancestral land.

In just a few moments.

All resources and treasures fell into Lu Yuan's pockets.

Kunwu Mountain, Azure Cloud Peak.

After returning from the Gu Family, Lu Yuan was sitting beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

A breeze blew past, the fragrance of tea overflowing and refreshing the heart.

Gu Qingxue, Qin Shouzhuo, Fairy Lengyue, and the others also returned one after another from the Wang Family, the Five Elements Holy Land, and the Taihao Sword Sect, loaded with spoils.

Qin Shouzhuo handed a roll of ancient scripture to Lu Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the Taihao Sword Scripture and all the books from its treasury."

Qin Shouzhuo's face was flushed with excitement: "The Taihao Sword Sect is indeed a Holy Land with a Legacy of tens of thousands of years; its Foundation is truly profound. Besides these Cultivation Techniques, there are dozens of top-grade Spiritual Veins and countless rare Ores."

"The original copy of the Wang Family's Desolate Ancient War Emperor Art, as well as the three pure-blooded Primeval Fierce Beast cubs raised by their clan, are all here." Fairy Lengyue also respectfully presented a storage ring and a spirit pet bag, her eyes full of admiration.
