125: You hurt me and you still want to die of old age?

A hint of pleasure flickered in the Golem's single eye, its throat trembling as it emitted a bizarre insectoid hum, forming syllables.

"Power... endless... surging from the body... besides Heavenly Saint Child's secret Divine Ability... this time the Six Paths of Power also unlocked... the Asura Path and the Hell Path.

It feels... unprecedentedly good..."

With that, the Golem swayed, its form rapidly shrinking until it was the size of a fingertip, then it burrowed into Gu Changsheng's ear.

Gu Changsheng scratched his ear, a smile playing on his lips: "Very good... the Profound Cave Golem, comparable to an Early Stage Dongxuan Realm Old Ancestor, plus my half-finished Zhuxian Sword Formation, that's two Dongxuan Realm combat powers.

Perfect, it's time to head to the Weapon Forging Sect to gather the Materials for the remaining Flying Swords..."

The Weapon Forging Sect was a major Dongxuan Realm Sect, and its cultivation method was related to Artifact Refining. The Artifact Refining Materials in the Sect's treasury were countless.

He had been coveting them for a long time.

This was a special period.

Old Ancestor Lian Shan was searching everywhere for the heavily injured Heavenly Saint Child, so he would certainly not be guarding the Sect.

Furthermore, the Weapon Forging Sect had allied with the Demonic Path to exterminate the Tiansheng Sect, greatly increasing its prestige.

No one would have thought that someone would dare to provoke them at this critical juncture.

Five Elements Heaven Evasion Divine Light appeared beneath Gu Changsheng's feet, shooting him towards the horizon.

Over the years, the Five Elements Heaven Evasion Divine Light had already reached the Perfection Realm.

Half a day later.

A colossal, dark, five-fingered mountain appeared before him.

This mountain was a famous mountain under heaven, known as the Mystic Iron Meteor Mountain.

The Weapon Forging Sect's founding Ancestral Master had hollowed out the mountain and transformed it with Artifact Refining techniques; every Peak, tree, and lake had been refined into a Spiritual Artifact.

The cloud-capped summit was even a Magic Treasure-level item.

They were interlocked layer by layer, forming a giant Spirit Treasure, whose power could shake the heavens.

The outermost layer of Profound Light barrier alone had a defensive power no less than a Fourth-tier Formation.

"Fortunately, I have the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light..."

Gu Changsheng's eyes sharpened, and a vast Five Elements light burst forth from his palm, striking the Profound Light barrier like a sharp sword.

Immediately, the Profound Light barrier was like a stone falling into a lake, with ripples spreading outwards from the point of impact.

In several decades, Gu Changsheng had cultivated the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light to Major Achievement, but it was still not easy to break through the barrier's defense with a single strike.

Gu Changsheng stroked his chin, silently calculating: "It will take at least half an hour of continuous attack with the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light to have any hope of breaking it... However, Old Monster Lian Shan will be able to rush back in at most the time it takes to drink a cup of tea... But I am not one of those simpletons from the Weapon Forging Sect..."

Besides the Divine Ability that specialized in breaking Formations, he was also a Formation Great Master and an Artifact Refining Great Master.

That earlier strike of Divine Light, seemingly ineffective, had actually locked onto the weak point of the mountain's defense.

Gu Changsheng's Qi flowed through his Dantian, and with a step into the Void Realm, seven brilliant blue stars appeared above his head, connected to form a dipper shape.

The starlight fell upon his body, and his essence, Qi, and spirit surged upwards.

It was precisely the Seven Stars Gathering at the Head Divine Ability!

However, it was not enough... "Seven Stars above... burst!"

Rumble—

The seven dazzling star-suns suddenly exploded, releasing decades of accumulated star essence in one go, causing Gu Changsheng's aura to almost approach the Early Stage Dongxuan Realm.

The Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light appeared in his palm, its radiance greatly intensified.

"Go!"

The Divine Light transformed into a five-colored Flying Bird, suddenly shooting towards a node.

Pop—

The tough and thick Profound Light barrier instantly burst like a water bubble.

The scene inside the Weapon Forging Sect appeared.

At this moment, the Cultivators of the Weapon Forging Sect looked on with horrified expressions, staring at the figure in the Void Realm.

There was only one person?!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quick, go invite Old Ancestor Spirit Treasure to appear!"

"Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy, and wait for the Old Ancestor to return for support!"

Boom boom boom—

The mountains trembled, the Peaks, lakes, and vegetation's Qi fused into one, emitting a sound like grinding gears, and a grey-robed, emaciated old man appeared in the Void Realm.

It was the Spirit of the Mystic Iron Meteor Mountain.

"Those who attack the Sect Gate... die!"

The Spirit spoke with celestial authority, and under its decree, the Peaks, lakes, and trees... flew through the Void Realm, converging into a bizarre mechanical black Dragon.

Whoosh—

A breath of dark Dragon Qi erupted, sweeping across the sky like a black pillar of light.

"Good timing!"

The Golem emerged from Gu Changsheng's ear, its body swelling into an eight-armed giant insect form, its maw opening to its limit, like a giant black gate, swallowing the Dragon Qi in one gulp and ingesting it.

Gurgle—

A wisp of black smoke emerged from its mouth, and the Golem burped.

With its Dongxuan Realm cultivation, the abilities of the Hungry Ghost Path were also enhanced.

Immediately after, the Golem brought its eight arms together, its entire body enveloped in black Qi, a crimson glint appearing in its single eye, and bizarre byte-like musical notes emanating from its throat.

"Asura Path!"

The black Qi converged into armor, and a towering eight-armed Asura phantom appeared on its body.

Legend has it that Asuras are born in the deepest Hell, created for battle, with a violent nature, and their Physical Body strength allows them to tear apart Garuda birds and swallow giant Dragons.

As soon as it appeared, it began to wrestle with the black Dragon.

With every punch and kick, it moved like the wind, shattering the black Dragon's scales, and its Dragon blood splattered, transforming into countless rocks and black water, falling to the ground.

This was the power of the Asura Path.

"No big deal..."

Gu Changsheng's eyes indifferently swept across the battlefield, then he patted the yellow sword gourd at his waist, and countless Flying Swords emerged from the gourd's mouth, spinning and circling, the pressure of the Sword Formation enveloping the Sect Gate.

Immediately, a large number of Weapon Forging Sect Cultivators turned ashen.

"Two Dongxuan Realm combat powers... Heaven wants to destroy my Weapon Forging Sect!"

"No! As long as we delay for a moment, the Old Ancestor can return for support and capture this fiend!"

"I will defend the Sect to my death!"

Whoosh—

Countless Magic Treasures came flying through the air, but as soon as they entered the range of the Sword Formation, they were like mud oxen entering the sea, their power greatly diminished.

Sword light erupted, and thousands of sword shadows poured down like a sword rain, one after another, the Weapon Forging Sect Cultivators were directly sliced apart, turning into blood mist.

In the bloody mist, Gu Changsheng moved like a phantom, his claw firmly grasping the crown of a True Core Old Man's head.

Soul Search!

Three breaths later, he casually tossed the Old Man aside, his soul aura dissipated, and he slumped to the side.

Gu Changsheng looked towards the depths of the mountains, a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "The treasury... is it there...?"

Bang bang bang—

The layered Restrictions burst open like popping beans, utterly unable to hinder Gu Changsheng's footsteps.

He broke through eighteen Restrictions in a row.

A bronze Immortal Cave appeared before him.

Above the Immortal Cave were carved the four characters 'Profound Restriction Treasury'.

Gu Changsheng's eyes were indifferent, his Qi and blood surged, and the Great Strength Demonic Ape tattoo on his right arm emitted a brilliant light, his muscles suddenly expanding.

He clenched his hand into a fist, and the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light covered it.

Boom—

With a punch, the bronze door exploded, hundreds of shattered stones flew out, and dust rose everywhere.

Suddenly, a wisp of extremely condensed sword light, a crimson Dragon, attacked from the treasury, aiming directly for his glabella.

Gu Changsheng's body suddenly glowed golden, a blood-red lotus bloomed behind him, extending bronze-cast arms, and its giant palms firmly grasped the sword light, revealing the red fire Dragon-shaped body of the Flying Sword.

Drip—

A drop of fresh blood dripped from his palm to the ground, shattering into eight pieces.

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly, looking at his golden palm.

There, a fingernail-long wound was rapidly healing.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

How many years had it been since he had been injured?

Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, Mountain Refining Art, Soul Devouring Dharma Body, Iron Shirt... Over hundreds of years, Gu Changsheng had stacked so many layers of armor that he himself had somewhat lost count.

A Flying Sword, even a half-step Spirit Treasure, had actually broken his Golden Body defense and made him bleed a single drop of blood.

It was simply unbelievable.

Inside the treasury, the old man sitting cross-legged was filled with despair, Death Qi appearing on his face.

The old man's name was Meteor Sword. His cultivation had reached the Peak True Core a hundred years ago, and since then, he had been cultivating diligently in the treasury.

The power of that sword strike earlier was the result of him burning all his essence blood and Lifespan.

Unexpectedly, reality had made him so desperate.

"Old Ancestor... Meteor Sword is incompetent..."

The old man only felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, feeling drowsy.

In a trance, the scene of him, young, entering the Sect Gate appeared before his eyes, and past people and things flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Bang—

The crimson Dragon Flying Sword shot out from Gu Changsheng's hand, directly blasting the old man's head.

"You injured this Venerable, and you still want to die of old age when your Lifespan runs out?"

Gu Changsheng stepped into the treasury.
