100: A magical storm! The boldest will thrive!

Within the withered black forest, a one-sided slaughter... or rather, a "feeding," was frantically taking place.

"Bang!"

Gu Yang smashed the spine of a Wolf-shaped Corpse Puppet with a single hammer strike.

Before the corpse could even hit the ground, his large hand had already accurately reached into the shattered chest cavity, grabbing a wisp of white Immortal Qi that was about to dissipate.

*Slurp—*

Like eating noodles, that wisp of Immortal Qi was instantly sucked into his stomach.

Gu Yang's whole body shuddered, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"Refreshing! This texture is cool and crisp, with a sweet aftertaste. It's much better than that Blood Wine or whatever!"

His feet didn't stop as his figure moved like lightning, weaving through the crowd of corpse Puppets.

Every time he struck, a corpse Puppet was bound to fall; every time he opened his mouth, a wisp of Immortal Qi was sure to be collected.

The Immortal Soul Corpse Puppets, originally fierce and enough to strike fear into ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, were now as fragile as a joke before Gu Yang.

With a three-hundred-thousand-jin Meteor Hammer combined with his Extreme Dao Monstrous Strength, there was simply no enemy who could last a single round.

Beside him, Overlord watched with his jaw dropped.

Holding a large bone in his hand, he had originally intended to help in the fight, only to find he couldn't even find an opening to help.

"Bi... Big Brother is way too fierce."

Watching Gu Yang's wild eating manner, Overlord couldn't help but swallow hard.

He also tried to approach a recently fallen corpse Puppet, imitating Gu Yang's actions, wanting to take a sip of the dissipating Immortal Qi.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After just a small sip, Overlord began to cough violently, his face turning bright red as if he had swallowed a piece of glowing hot charcoal.

"Hot! It's burning me to death!"

That wisp of Immortal Qi rampaged through his body, nearly burning his Meridians to pieces.

Terrified, Overlord hurriedly circulated his Heavenly Overlord Body, using every ounce of strength he had to barely suppress and digest it.

"Big Brother, this stuff is too potent! I can't handle it!"

Overlord was on the verge of tears.

One truly couldn't compare the Physiques of different people.

One sip for him was like swallowing hot charcoal, while one sip for Big Brother was like drinking cold water, and he even complained it wasn't enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

"That's because you're weak."

Gu Yang replied in passing while casually smashing another skull.

"Practice more, you'll get used to it. This is good stuff, don't waste it."

On the other side, Er Gou was eating quite happily.

Although it couldn't digest Immortal Qi, it had a special fondness for the Magic Treasure fragments and hard bones remaining on the corpse Puppets.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Er Gou held an unknown femur, gnawing on it with gusto, the starlight on its body flickering as it chewed.

Thus, this one man, one beast, and one follower turned this terrifying withered forest into a lively picnic scene.

However, the good times didn't last.

Just as Gu Yang was eating his fill and preparing to go deeper into the forest center to find more "ingredients."

Thump! — Thump! — Thump!

From deep within the earth, a dull and rhythmic vibration suddenly echoed.

This sound was extremely heavy; with every beat, the black soil on the ground would jump, and even Gu Yang's heart skipped a beat in sync.

An ancient, decaying, yet suffocatingly powerful Aura slowly awakened from the depths of the Forbidden Ground.

"What is that?"

Gu Yang stopped what he was doing, frowning slightly as he looked into the depths of the mist.

The dense gray mist churned violently, torn apart by a pair of giant palms.

Following that, a giant Puppet standing ten zhang tall, cast entirely from bronze, stepped out with heavy strides.

It wore tattered armor and held a broken long halberd, with two clusters of eerie green ghost fire burning in its eyes.

Tomb Guardian (Ancient War Puppet)!

Although the Aura emanating from this Puppet was somewhat dull, the pure sense of physical pressure definitely reached the level of the Early Spirit Transformation Stage!

"Intruders... of the Forbidden Ground... shall be executed!"

The Tomb Guardian emitted a raspy mechanical voice, and the broken halberd in its hand swung down fiercely.

Boom!!!

A hundred-zhang-long azure Halberd Beam tore through the earth, heading straight for Gu Yang with an Aura that could destroy everything.

"This guy is tough!"

Gu Yang's eyes narrowed; he didn't dare to take the blow head-on.

He grabbed Overlord beside him and kicked off the ground with force.

Extreme Dao Burst Step — Flash!

The two of them instantly shifted a hundred meters sideways.

Their original position was instantly split into a bottomless ravine by the Halberd Beam, with the rocks turning into powder in an instant.

"Good heavens, this strength is even greater than that Old Ancestor Blood Hand!"

Gu Yang set down the shaken Overlord and licked his lips, his eyes instead igniting with Battle Intent.

"Such a huge hunk of iron... if I dismantle it, it should be worth a lot of money, right?"

However, before he could make a move.

*Whoosh!*

A sharp sound of something piercing the air suddenly came from behind him.

A warning alarm blared in Gu Yang's mind, and he jerked his head to the side.

A golden Sword Qi grazed his ear, slicing off a few strands of hair and leaving a bloody gash on his tough face.

"Who's there?!"

Gu Yang turned around abruptly.

In the direction they had come from, the mist cleared.

An elderly man with a sinister expression, wearing a five-colored Daoist robe and stepping on golden light, was suspended in mid-air, looking down at him coldly.

Five Elements Sect Soul Transformation Elder — Venerable Jin Ling!

"Little thief, I've finally found you."

Venerable Jin Ling toyed with a small golden sword in his hand, his eyes cold like a venomous snake.

"Stealing my sect's treasures and killing my sect's Disciples... did you think you'd be safe by hiding in here?"

"Today, whether you go to heaven or the underworld, no one can save you!"

Gu Yang's face darkened.

A Soul Transformation Stage Tomb Guardian Puppet in front, and a Soul Transformation Stage Five Elements Sect Elder behind.

Is this... getting surrounded?

"Big Brother... why is there another Soul Transformation Stage expert?"

Overlord's legs were trembling with fear, and he said with a sob, "Are we finished?"

Gu Yang glanced at the approaching Tomb Guardian, then at the poised Venerable Jin Ling.

"Finished? Not necessarily."

He took a deep breath, his gaze passing over the Tomb Guardian and looking deeper into the distance.

There, a white storm connecting heaven and earth was spinning frantically.

That was the "Immortal Qi Storm"!

It was the most dangerous core area of the entire Place of Fallen Immortals, and also the place where Immortal Qi was most concentrated.

The violent energy there was enough to tear apart the Physical Body of a Nascent Soul Cultivator in an instant.

But for Gu Yang, who possessed the [Heaven-Devouring Will] and [Primordial Golden Body]... that might be the only way out, and the greatest Opportunity!

"Want to kill me? Then let's see whose life is tougher!"

Gu Yang grabbed Er Gou from the ground and hoisted up the limp Overlord.

"Hold on tight! We're going for a big meal!"

Under the astonished gazes of Venerable Jin Ling and the Tomb Guardian.

Gu Yang didn't try to break out; instead, he did the exact opposite.

He roared as the glazed golden light on his body erupted to the limit, like a burning meteor, carrying the two people and one beast as he charged headlong into that world-destroying Immortal Qi Storm!

"Madman! Does he want to commit suicide?!"

Venerable Jin Ling stopped in his tracks, not daring to pursue further.

That was an Immortal Qi Storm! A forbidden zone that even a Soul Transformation Stage expert like him didn't dare touch lightly!

"Humph, seeking his own death. It saves me the trouble."

He sneered, certain that Gu Yang was doomed.

However.

At the center of the storm.

*Chiii—*

Countless terrifying turbulent flows of Immortal Qi were like bone-shaving steel knives, frantically slicing at Gu Yang's body.

His skin shattered instantly, blood dripping as his white bones were exposed.

Pain!

Extreme pain!

But Gu Yang was laughing wildly.

He opened his mouth wide and let out a wolf-like roar at the endless Immortal Qi Storm:

"Come on! Stuff me to death!!!"

"Five Elements Great Millstone — Swallow for me!!!"
