238: An era without saints!? (Chapter 37)

Atop the isolated peak.

Gu Yun looked down at the allied forces of the Wang and Ji families, who were instantly submerged by the black beast tide, and let out a cold laugh.

"The time has come."

With a thought.

The Primordial Chaos Sacred Body Origin aura that had been acting as bait throughout the God Burial Abyss was completely withdrawn by him at this moment.

Roar—!

The Dao-Devouring Beast tide that was frantically charging toward the Wang and Ji allied forces instantly lost its target.

After a brief moment of confusion, they became even more violent.

Their blood-red eyes turned toward every living being around them.

"No! Their target isn't us!"

"Help! Ah—!"

On the outskirts of the Wang and Ji families, the Loose Cultivators and small factions acting as cannon fodder were the first to suffer.

The indiscriminate attacks of the beast tide instantly tore them to pieces.

The battlefield was completely out of control.

"Gu Yun!"

Atop the chariot, the Wang Family Qilin Son looked at the tragic scene before him and instantly understood something.

His Dharma Eye pierced through the chaotic battlefield, locking onto the white-clothed figure on the distant mountain peak.

"He's the one behind this!"

"Why did he lure so many Dao-Devouring Beasts?! What benefit does it bring him!"

The Ji Family Divine Maiden also had a gloomy expression, brimming with Killing Intent.

The trap they had meticulously laid had now become their own grave.

However, they no longer had time for anger.

Roar!

A massive roar echoed from the deepest depths of the God Burial Abyss.

Path Devouring Beast King!

A true God Realm Vicious Beast!

The moment it woke up, it saw the battlefield below where flesh and blood were flying.

Tyranny and hunger were its only instincts.

"Not good! Retreat, quickly!"

The Wang Family Qilin Son could no longer bother with Gu Yun.

But it was too late.

The Path Devouring Beast King opened its massive maw.

An irresistible devouring force instantly enveloped the center of the battlefield.

Dozens of Wang family Prodigies in the midst of battle didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were uncontrollably sucked into that giant mouth.

The Origin essence of all the slain Dao-Devouring Beasts turned into wisps of invisible light, silently absorbed by Gu Yun's Azure Heaven Indestructible Art.

Everyone else gained nothing.

"Form a formation! Form a formation, quickly!"

The Ji Family Divine Maiden reacted extremely quickly; she sacrificed a Seven-Colored Precious Mirror, shedding thousands of divine lights that temporarily protected the surviving members of the Ji Family.

"Gu Zhan, stop her."

At that moment, Gu Yun's calm voice reached Gu Zhan's ears.

Gu Zhan grinned, his eyes filled with Battle Intent.

"As you command, My Lord!"

He took a step forward, his figure shooting down from the mountain peak, heading straight for the Ji Family Divine Maiden.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing this, the Ji Family Divine Maiden's gaze turned cold.

She was already frustrated with nowhere to vent her anger, and this brute dared to deliver himself to her doorstep.

She activated the precious mirror, and a seven-colored divine light transformed into a divine sword, slashing toward Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan neither dodged nor avoided it, simply throwing a punch.

The power of the Primordial Chaos War Body was fully revealed at this moment.

Boom!

When the fist collided with the divine sword, the Ji Family Divine Maiden's attack was actually shattered by force.

The Ji Family Divine Maiden's expression changed.

"You..."

She was shocked to find that this Gu Family Battle-Maniac, who was previously weaker than her, now possessed an exceptionally powerful Physical Body.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, with Laws colliding and Sword Qi crisscrossing, reaching a temporary stalemate.

On the other side.

Gu Yun's figure also quietly appeared before the Wang Family Qilin Son, Wang Teng.

"Gu Yun!"

The Wang Family Qilin Son was both shocked and enraged.

He stared intently at Gu Yun, activating his Dharma Eye to its full potential.

He knew that if he didn't kill Gu Yun, his Heart Demon would persist forever.

"Today, it's either you or me!"

Wang Teng let out a roar, unexpectedly abandoning all defense and pouring all his power into his Dharma Eye.

His Dharma Eye possessed an extremely overbearing ability.

Spirit Control.

"Vile beast, serve me!"

Wang Teng pointed from afar at the Path Devouring Beast King, which was currently on a killing spree.

An invisible ocular power was precisely imprinted upon the Beast King's true spirit.

The Path Devouring Beast King, which had just awakened and whose consciousness was still somewhat chaotic, trembled.

It actually turned toward Gu Yun.

Roar!

The Beast King roared, carrying the might of the God Realm as it swiped a claw at Gu Yun.

At the same time, Wang Teng himself moved.

A golden spear appeared in his hand, thrusting out like a Dragon, sealing off all of Gu Yun's paths of retreat.

Two against one.

This was a certain-kill situation.

Gu Yun's figure flickered as he initially fell into a disadvantage under the combined assault of the Beast King and Wang Teng.

Seeing this, the ferocity on Wang Teng's face turned into ecstasy.

"That's it!"

He caught a "flaw" in Gu Yun's evasion.

His Dharma Eye launched its final attack.

It was a Needle of Destruction specifically targeting the Divine Soul.

"Die!"

Wang Teng seemed to already see the scene where Gu Yun's Divine Soul was pierced, his body frozen, and then torn to pieces by the Beast King.

However.

Facing this fatal blow, Gu Yun only gave a disdainful smile.

Purple Qi flowed within Gu Yun's eyes.

Minds Eye, fully open!

Two invisible ocular powers collided violently in the void.

There was no sound, no light or shadow.

But the Dharma Eye was instantly crushed.

"Pfft!"

The Wang Family Qilin Son's body shook, and he violently spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His proud Dharma Eye was instantly covered in cracks, and a sharp pain shot through his Divine Soul.

"This... how is this possible!"

He couldn't believe it; his ocular technique had been crushed by the opponent.

"Nothing is impossible."

Gu Yun's calm voice sounded in his ear.

"It's simply because you are too weak."

Gu Yun pressed his advantage.

Under the empowerment of his Minds Eye, he activated his Heart Sword.

He bypassed the Path Devouring Beast King, which had fallen into confusion after losing control.

An invisible Sword Intent pierced directly into the Wang Family Qilin Son's eyes.

"Ah—!"

Wang Teng screamed as his eyes were instantly pierced by the Sword Intent, blood flowing freely.

He completely lost his vision; his Dharma Eye was ruined!

The Path Devouring Beast King, having regained its freedom, completely unleashed the anger it had accumulated from being forcibly controlled.

Its massive crimson eyes turned toward the heavily injured and dying Wang Teng.

Roar!

The Beast King let out a tyrannical roar and opened its mouth wide, tearing apart and devouring the "master" who had once controlled it, along with all the Magic Treasures on his person.

A generation's Qilin Son had fallen.

At that moment, Gu Yun's brow furrowed slightly.

The Indestructible Art within him had absorbed all the Origin essence of the slain Dao-Devouring Beasts, and the Heavenly Dao fragment energy it converted had now filled to a critical point.

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted with him as the center.

His cultivation base Bottleneck, which had been stuck at the Grotto-Heaven Realm Middle Stage, was subsequently broken.

Grotto-Heaven Realm Late Stage!

However, this Breakthrough aura, along with the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body Qi on Gu Yun that was a fatal temptation for the Dao-Devouring Beasts, was exceptionally conspicuous in the dark night, instantly attracting the attention of the entire Heavenly Dao Ruins.

Roar!

Roar! Roar!

Several auras even more terrifying than the previous Beast King awakened from various directions within the Heavenly Dao Ruins.

Their target was only one.

Gu Yun!

Among them, an icy Divine Thought that had developed a clear self-awareness firmly locked onto Gu Yun.

In the eyes of that Divine Thought's owner, Gu Yun was no longer prey.

But rather the most delicious supreme tonic, sufficient for it to complete its final transformation.

"Not good!"

Gu Yun's expression changed, and he immediately judged that with his current strength, it was absolutely impossible to contend with so many God Realm Beast Kings.

"Go!"

He issued an unquestionable command to Gu Zhan, who was still in a fierce battle with the Ji Family Divine Maiden.

"My Lord! I will cover the retreat!"

Gu Zhan's eyes were blood-red as he tried to rush over.

"Scram!"

Gu Yun shouted angrily, directly using his newly broken-through power to forcibly tear open a spatial rift.

An irresistible force swept up Gu Zhan and shoved him into the rift.

"Do not return without my command!"

He stood alone, facing the terrifying beast tide led by several God Realm Beast Kings surging from all directions.

"Come."

Gu Yun took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with Battle Intent.

He turned and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing with all his might.

A life-and-death pursuit thus began.

Gu Yun pushed his movement technique to the limit, shuttling through chaotic Law storms and shattered spatial rifts.

The group of Beast Kings behind him pursued relentlessly, their destructive attacks constantly bombing the places he had just passed, kicking up clouds of dust.

Just at the critical moment when Gu Yun was about to be caught by the Beast King that had developed self-awareness.

In his desperation, he plunged into a mysterious zone emitting strange spatial fluctuations.

In that area, space seemed to have been folded thousands of times, presenting a bizarre and distorted spectacle.

Buzz!

A powerful tearing force emanated from that distorted space, instantly enveloping Gu Yun.

"Not good!"

Gu Yun only had time to let out a cry of alarm.

His figure was completely swept in by that force, disappearing entirely, sent to an unknown location.
