224: Crazy plunder

Boom—

A rich, pure Devilish Qi assailed him.

“Such pure Devilish Qi! Its quality is far superior to even our clan’s Holy Land. Normally, entering once would be incredibly difficult, but now it’s within easy reach.”

“Haha, today I shall forge an peerless Devil Body!”

A group of Cultivators plunged into the True Devil Pool, madly devouring the Devilish Qi. Many even immediately performed secret techniques, attempting to outline Devilish Runes and forge Devil Bodies on the spot.

Boom boom boom—

After only a few breaths, several powerful auras shot into the sky.

Many Cultivators from various races transformed into brand new Holy Race members.

Their bodies gradually mutated, growing a single horn or chitinous armor on their foreheads. Their appearance was vastly different from before, and without exception, their auras expanded severalfold.

“Hehehe, a Third-Grade Profound Origin Devil Body, even in the entire Holy Realm, it can be considered extraordinary.”

“A Third-Grade Age-Establishing Devil Body…”

“A Second-Grade Profound Mountain Devil Body…”

Terrifying Devil Body auras permeated the True Devil Pool.

Suddenly, the pool water churned, and a gigantic Devil Shadow rose.

“Such a powerful Devil Body aura…”

“Space Law Eyes on the forehead, perceiving all things in the world. This is a First-Grade Void-Rending Devil Body!”

“That Tian Sheng of the Tianmu Clan actually achieved such a Devil Body!”

The True Devil Pool water rapidly receded, madly pouring into the massive Devil Shadow in the center.

‘Trouble. This three-eyed Strange actually condensed a First-Grade Devil Body, and a very powerful one at that… Damn it!’

The Iron Pagoda Mountain Race youth, who had just condensed a Second-Grade Profound Mountain Devil Body, frowned and looked at the Devil Shadow in the center of the pool with a face full of dread.

“Haha, this feeling… truly wonderful…”

The Tianmu Clan youth stretched his arms in a trance-like manner, a trace of pupil power emanating from his third eye. The surrounding space immediately became twisted and bizarre.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Gu Changsheng silently searching, and a strong killing intent immediately surged in his heart.

‘This person…’

Now that he had forged a First-Grade Void-Rending Devil Body, his strength had more than quadrupled.

It was the perfect time to settle the score from before.

Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the pool water, and a wisp of pure Devilish Qi, like a black snake, emerged, with clearly visible black scales.

“This is… True Devil Qi!”

“The greatest Treasure Trove of this True Devil Pool!”

“This is a chance to achieve the peerless Dao!”

“Everyone, get out of the way! This is mine!”

Immediately, the Cultivators went mad, rushing like lunatics towards the True Devil Qi at the center of the whirlpool.

Bang—

Space twisted like a pretzel, and a dozen people, unable to dodge in time, were directly cut in half by the sharp spatial force.

A hint of longing appeared in the eyes of the Tianmu Clan youth, and his scale-covered giant claw reached towards the True Devil Qi.

“True Devil Qi… If integrated with multiple Dao, there might even be a chance to advance to a peerless True Devil Body…”

Just as the tip of his claw was less than three zhang from the True Devil Qi, a suction force suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Wisps of white silk-like threads, like ropes, wrapped around the black snake and pulled it into a painting scroll.

The speed of it all was simply incredible.

“Is there only one wisp in the entire pool…?”

Gu Changsheng floated in the air, holding the green-scroll painting in his hand.

Inside, a wisp of True Devil Qi was Seal-ed.

Suddenly, the Void light and shadow shifted, and a piece of information flooded his mind.

His consciousness ascended, and he found that the entire True Devil Pool was enveloped in a bubble. Around this bubble, there were other bubbles.

“Hmm? I can go to other sub-pools to compete for True Devil Qi… This is quite good… It seems this trial encourages trial-takers to kill each other.”

With a thought, his body became ethereal.

“Thief, don’t run!”

“Leave the True Devil Qi!”

“Bastard! Die!”

A group of bloodshot-eyed Cultivators madly attacked Gu Changsheng.

The one leading the charge was none other than the Tianmu Clan youth who had just forged a First-Grade Devil Body.

“My True Devil Qi…”

He pushed his vertical pupil to the limit, and the surrounding spatial force surged like waves, intending to suppress and kill Gu Changsheng in one move.

A cold smile appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face.

“Noisy!”

A wisp of gray light appeared at his fingertips, pouring down like rain.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed, Devil Bodies shattered, and even the True Devil Pool itself became unstable.

With a single strike, the Void was erased as if by an eraser, with more than half disappearing.

“Damn it, what is this?”

The Tianmu Clan youth screamed in agony, but he couldn't extinguish the gray light on his body, watching helplessly as his body disappeared bit by bit.

“No…”

After a final scream, the Void returned to calm, and there was no trace of the Tianmu Clan youth.

The survivors were all dumbfounded.

“What kind of Divine Ability is this?!”

“Terrifying, he actually killed even the Tianmu Clan’s top Prodigy in one move.

He had condensed a First-Grade Devil Body, you know.”

“Monster, could this person be the Reincarnation of a Yang God Holy Ancestor? He’s not an ordinary True Core Realm Cultivator at all!”

Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Gu Changsheng re-established communication with space, and his body gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Only then did the Iron Pagoda Mountain Race youth quietly emerge, looking in the direction Gu Changsheng had disappeared, secretly patting his chest, a look of relief on his face: “That was close. If I had made a move just now, I would have been the one to die…”

Three breaths ago, Tian Sheng of the Tianmu Clan and the blue-robed woman, along with dozens of others, attacked together. Now, all of them were dead and their Dao vanished.

The Iron Pagoda Mountain Race youth’s gaze swept around. The pool water churned, and most of the Devilish Qi had been absorbed, becoming extremely thin.

He fixed his gaze on the newly promoted Holy Race members around him.

When a Devil Body is first forged, its Foundation is unstable, but one can forcefully extract their Dao Foundation to strengthen oneself.

“The dead are dead, the gone are gone. It’s time for me, Manshan, to show off…”

He clapped his giant, iron-fan-like palm, and a nearby Goblin Clan Holy Race Cultivator was instantly smashed into a meat paste. Wisps of pure Devilish Qi flew out and merged into his iron tower-like body.

“Next one…”

His eyes gleamed with cold light as his gaze swept across the entire area… “Small True Devil Pool Number Seven…”

Gu Changsheng suddenly appeared in a brand new True Devil Pool, immediately attracting the attention of over a hundred Cultivators.

“Who is this person?”

“Just a mere Senmu Clan member…”

“Seeking death, aren’t you?!”

The sudden appearance of someone to share the spoils angered the Cultivators, who glared at him.

Gu Changsheng, however, paid them no mind. A purple gleam flashed in his eyes as he frantically searched for the True Devil Qi.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face.

“Found it…”

Surging magical power flowed, and a painting scroll floated in the Void, slowly unfurling. Thousands of white silk threads emerged from it, plunging into the True Devil Pool water.

Whoosh—

A wisp of True Devil Qi, like a black snake, was enveloped and entangled, then forcibly dragged into the painting scroll.

“This method…”

“Bastard, leave the True Devil Qi!”

The Cultivators, no longer bothering to condense their Devil Bodies, all attacked.

“The second wisp of True Devil Qi is mine…”

Gu Changsheng absorbed the scroll into his palm, then his gaze sharpened. With a casual flick, purple, ethereal light rained down.

The Dream Domain Law Realm combined with the Wisdom Sword Technique, with a single strike, annihilated everyone present.

“I can go to the next place now…”

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth, and his body gradually became ethereal.

After a cup of tea’s time.

True Devil Pool Number Fifteen was annihilated.

After two cups of tea’s time.

True Devil Pool Number Thirty-Three was annihilated… In just a few hours, Gu Changsheng had already annihilated over thirty True Devil Pools, obtaining thirty-three wisps of True Devil Qi.

The Void surged, and Gu Changsheng stepped out from the mirror-like space. He saw a scene of devastation around him, the pool water boiling, and a magnificent Devil Shadow ascending in the center, its aura incredibly terrifying.
