112: Killing the Weapon Forging Alliance (Part 2)

Within the Bright Stream, Gu Yuchuan stood his ground. Opposite him were the five Demon Generals of the Artifact Refining Alliance. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out. Both sides had stopped speaking, their magic power beginning to circulate, ready to trigger a thunderous strike at any moment. It all depended on who would make the first move.

Ultimately, the Artifact Refining Alliance's side couldn't hold back any longer. After all, they were fighting on away ground, and the pressure was quite high. A long whip appeared in the hand of the Bixian Demon General, and she lashed it out toward Gu Yuchuan.

Gu Yuchuan didn't even bother to look closely at the whip; he simply swung his tail and sent it flying. This was his strength—his Physical Body was significantly more powerful than even a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. At this, the expressions of the opponents changed. Although the Bixian Demon General was only at the Second layer of Foundation Establishment, she had a Spiritual Artifact for protection and her combat power was quite strong. To be swatted away like this after just one move was clearly difficult for them to accept.

The Chigu Demon General spoke up, his voice carrying a heavy sense of caution: "No wonder you're so arrogant; it turns out you do have some skill. However, that's as far as it goes. Our strength is not something you can fathom or resist. Let me be the one to face you."

After he finished speaking, a red lotus flower appeared above his head. In an instant, countless flames enveloped Gu Yuchuan. The scorching sensation caused a layer of sweat to break out on his forehead, and his expression turned very sour. He personally despised fire—or rather, very few of the water race liked fire. This blistering heat truly made him feel quite uncomfortable.

He raised his hand and struck out three drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water. As his Water Control Talent increased, his use of the Heavenly Profound Heavy Water became even more proficient. He soared into the air, transforming into his true form. A mass of dark clouds appeared in the sky, and his figure vanished within them. Instantly, a torrential downpour poured down, and the entire surface of the water began to boil.

However, the Chigu Demon General laughed out loud: "Serpent, aren't you dreaming? Although my Red Lotus Fire isn't an exceptionally powerful flame, it's not something you can extinguish so easily. If this is all you have, you might as well just die."

Before he could even finish his sentence, the Red Lotus Fire in the air began to go out. His face turned extremely pale, and this time, it was Gu Yuchuan's turn to laugh out loud.

"It's only polite to reciprocate. Since you've made your move, then take a strike from me as well—Kwai Water Divine Thunder!"

As soon as he spoke, peals of thunder echoed through the sky, striking fear into the hearts of the five monsters. The Yao Race's fear of thunder was ingrained in their Bloodline because they had to undergo a Lightning Tribulation to ascend to the Nascent Soul stage. This was the Heavenly Dao's restriction on the Yao Race, so they possessed an inherent fear of divine thunder within their blood.

Seeing his enemies' fear, Gu Yuchuan felt much better. Who did they think they were, coming to cause him trouble? They should have taken a good look at their own strength first to see if they were even worthy.

Gu Yuchuan now channeled all of his magic power into controlling the divine thunder. After all, this was thunder magic, a Spell universally recognized across the myriad worlds as the pinnacle of offensive power. This was also his first time performing a thunder magic, a talent he gained upon ascending to a Serpent, and using it for the first time now proved it was indeed incredibly powerful.

In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless bolts of lightning swam through the clouds like silver snakes. Gu Yuchuan did not release the divine thunder immediately, but instead let them circle continuously in the air to apply pressure. He believed that under this pressure, they would feel even more miserable.

And indeed, that was the case; the hair on the five of them was standing on end. Finally, the power of the divine thunder had accumulated enough, and five bolts of divine thunder struck down simultaneously. These individuals all had their own methods; some held up shields of magic power, some transformed into their true forms with divine light flashing on their bodies, and others sacrificed defensive Spiritual Artifacts. They all had their own means, but this divine thunder was not something they could easily withstand. Sure enough, three of them immediately spat out blood, looking to be in very poor condition.

The leader, the Chigu Demon General, had to step forward. Their current situation was dire, and he understood that he could only rely on himself. He was the only Foundation Establishment Mid Stage Cultivator at the Fourth Layer of Foundation Establishment, and the only one without any injuries. The other four Demon Generals were all wounded to some degree. However, at this moment, he also felt very distressed.

When they arrived, they were high-spirited, thinking that killing a mere little Serpent wouldn't be difficult at all. But now, after fighting for only a short while, they were already at such a disadvantage. This was unacceptable to him. Was their Artifact Refining Alliance going to fail today?

No, he screamed in his heart. Today, even if he had to use every means at his disposal, he would kill the Serpent before him and return their Artifact Refining Alliance to its peak.

So, he stepped forward now. He had to protect his people. He let out a great roar, and his body grew massive. Gu Yuchuan then saw that the opponent was actually a High-grade Demon Beast. This Bloodline was not weak and certainly possessed some Bloodline talents.

Sure enough, some miraculous signs began to manifest on his body. Many of the fish scales on his body shed and transformed into sharp blades, looking extremely powerful. Gu Yuchuan, for his part, took two steps back. Seeing the opponent's state, they were clearly prepared to risk their lives. This technique was bound to be very formidable, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now; he had to deal with it carefully.

As expected, in the next second, ten thousand swords fired at once, rushing toward Gu Yuchuan. He was indeed a bit apprehensive, but in the blink of an eye, that emotion vanished without a trace. After all, he still had the Golden Light Incantation for protection. The Golden Light Incantation formed a golden divine light around his body, and none of the divine swords could harm him in the slightest.

The help this Earthly Fiend Divine Ability provided to a Cultivator was simply too great. The power of the Golden Light Incantation was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could break through—at least, not the Chigu Demon General at the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage. Watching this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot. He was truly unwilling to accept this. Was it really going to end like this? No, it couldn't!

He shouted out loudly: "Serpent, do you truly think you have us beat? I'm telling you, the five of us have roamed the outskirts of the Cloud Sea Marsh for so many years. Our accumulation and methods are beyond your understanding. We will definitely kill you."

Gu Yuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The only thing tough about this Chigu Demon General was his mouth. Gu Yuchuan spoke up as well: "Right, your accumulation is deep. I didn't know that, but I will soon, because after I kill you, your resources and wealth will all be mine. I'll thank you in advance for helping me collect so many resources. When my cultivation is higher in the future, I'll set up a tomb for you to commemorate your contributions."
