120: The ultimate power swept across the entire field!

"Cough... cough cough!"

In the deep crater of the ruins, the Giant Clan Elder, Kua Shen, struggled to prop himself up. However, because his sternum was almost completely shattered, every violent breath brought intense pain as his internal organs were squeezed by bone shards. The bloody foam he coughed up even contained fragments of deep purple internal organs.

In his eyes, which were as large as millstones, there was an unprecedented terror and a sense of absurdity, as if his faith had collapsed.

As a Giant Clan Elder who had lived for thousands of years in the Savage Domain of the Spirit Realm—a place that emphasized the resonance of Laws and the mysteries of Spells—he never imagined that someone could rely purely on physical inertia to toy with him like a cheap doll.

In the moment of impact just now, he felt as if he were facing not a person, but an ancient meteor falling from the depths of the sky at high speed, trailing millions of tons of destructive flames!

That heavy and domineering primitive impact even caused the Giant Law within his body, which was as solid as steel, to instantly develop dense, irreparable cracks.

"This is impossible... such a brutish freak... how could a Body Cultivator of this level appear in the Savage Domain?! Without any Law resonance, how could pure physical strength break the spatial chains?!"

Kua Shen's voice was hoarse, and every word was accompanied by the surge of dark purple clotted blood.

"Who exactly are you?! Which ancient savage family's forbidden Legacy holder are you?!"

Gu Yang had no interest in answering him at all. In his eyes, this seemingly massive giant was already a lifeless piece of 'High Grade ingredient.'

At this moment, the blood and Qi throughout his body roared frantically like a great river. That high-frequency vibration even emanated from his body, causing muffled rolls of thunder in the air.

After stepping into the Divine Demon Golden Body Second Turn (equivalent to Nascent Soul Mid-Stage), every cell in his body seemed to have been injected with Titan Fire, filled with shivering vitality and extremely high material density.

If his Physical Body during the first turn was a piece of refined steel tempered a hundred times, then now it was a piece of Star Profound Iron embedded with divine Dao runes, capable of crushing the Void Realm even in a static state.

"Old man, you talk too much. It's seriously affecting my digestion progress."

Gu Yang stomped his foot violently. The ruined ground, originally as hard as pig iron, instantly shattered like soft tofu beneath him, collapsing into a deep, steaming pit dozens of meters in diameter.

His figure pulled a pitch-black line that distorted space. This was a visual absurdity caused by his movement speed instantly breaking the physical limit of air resistance, leading to the twisting and refraction of surrounding light.

"Nine Nether Profound Light, God-Slaying Slash!"

Seeing Gu Yang coming with a surge of Killing Intent and feeling the death threat sufficient to destroy the Foundation of his Primordial Spirit, the Dark Guard Leader no longer dared to hold anything back.

He frantically burned his Soul Transformation Stage essence. His two fingers, as withered as tree branches, suddenly snapped together like a sword, shooting a speck of pitch-black light toward Gu Yang's brow.

Whoosh!

A beam of black ghostly light, condensed from extreme Death Qi, shot out. Everywhere it passed, even the remaining spiritual light specks in space were instantly devoured by it.

This was his life-bound ultimate Move, which he had refined for thousands of years and used to harvest the lives of countless Spirit Realm prodigies. It specifically countered a Cultivator's vitality and stable Primordial Spirit.

In the history of the Spirit Realm, several famous Late-stage Spirit Transformation experts had been careless and had three thousand years of their Lifespan shaved away by this Move, their Primordial Spirits withering on the spot.

However, facing this potentially fatal blow, Gu Yang didn't even blink, and his charging footsteps didn't falter in the slightest.

He directly reached out with his palm, which was covered in dark gold ancient patterns. His five fingers were like iron hooks as he violently grabbed at the black ghostly light.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!

The moment the corrosive Nine Nether Death Qi touched Gu Yang's palm, it let out a piercing scream, like cold water being poured into boiling oil or pig iron being smelted.

The Dark Guard Leader was horrified to find that this Death Qi, which was enough to erode all things, was forcibly blocked by a more domineering and pure power the moment it touched Gu Yang's skin.

A layer of extremely faint but nearly solid dark gold light surfaced on Gu Yang's palm.

No matter how the Death Qi tried to burrow in like a frantic poisonous snake, it couldn't even corrode the outermost layer of his dark gold skin membrane. Instead, it was rapidly evaporated by the blood Qi gushing from his palm.

"This level of 'seasoning' might be a bit spicy, but the energy density is still too thin."

Gu Yang gripped his hand violently, and the air between his five fingers instantly exploded.

With a crack, the Death Qi ray, composed of pure Yin-evil energy, was actually crushed by his bare hands, shattering into black crystal fragments that sprayed everywhere before quickly being completely annihilated in the air.

"Is this... is this still a carbon-based lifeform?! To actually crush a life-bound Divine Ability with bare hands?!"

The Dark Guard Leader's psychological defense completely collapsed at this moment. The ghostly green soul fire in his eye sockets flickered violently, nearly extinguishing on the spot.

Crushing a Spell? In the common knowledge of the Spirit Realm's cultivation, even Mahayana Stage old monsters would disdain such a barbaric method!

This wasn't a battle at all; this was a dimensional strike across two different levels of life and two different dimensions of cultivation!

Gu Yang had already crossed the distance of space, crashing in front of the Dark Guard Leader like a golden mountain.

Without any fancy Moves or exquisite techniques, it was just a plain, unadorned horizontal sweep as heavy as an ancient mountain range.

"Heaven Crusher!"

The muscles in Gu Yang's arm twisted frantically like countless high-strength steel cables. With this swing, the surrounding air was violently compressed, forming a nearly transparent vacuum arc blade with faint golden light at its edges.

This air blade, carrying a shrill explosion like the wail of a ghost from Hell, easily sliced through the void in front of him like cloth.

"No! Nether Soul Shield! Block it for me!"

The Dark Guard Leader let out a desperate, shrill scream and frantically summoned a mottled round shield as black as ink, carved with agonizing ghostly faces.

It was a top-tier High Grade ancient treasure bestowed by the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant Alliance, said to have once blocked a desperate blow from a Soul Transformation Perfection expert.

But under Gu Yang's domineering and heavy strike of the ultimate path, that ancient treasure shield was like butter on a hot pan meeting a red-hot blade. It held for less than a thousandth of a second before letting out a terrifying, heart-wrenching wail.

Bang!

The round shield instantly turned into countless flying fragments.

Gu Yang's arm swept past like a meteor, striking the Dark Guard Leader directly in the waist.

Pfft—

Blood sprayed into the air like a fountain.

This Late-stage Spirit Transformation expert, who held a high status in the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant Alliance and was always seen as a Soul Transformation of death, was directly broken into two halves, upper and lower.

His upper body spun and flew over a hundred meters away. His Primordial Spirit screamed in terror as it escaped from the tattered flesh bag, disregarding all dignity and desperately burning its soul Origin to try and tear through space to escape.

"Er Gou, take them down. Don't let these 'snacks' run away."

Gu Yang instructed without looking back, his tone as calm as if he were telling a pet dog to fetch a frisbee.

"Awoo!"

Er Gou, who had been guarding the side with a morbidly hungry red glow in its eyes, suddenly opened its mouth wide. A bizarre suction with a strong sense of spatial distortion erupted from deep within its throat like a black hole.

It was a rudimentary spatial devouring talent belonging to a Starry Sky Giant Beast that had awakened in its body after devouring a large amount of Titan Energy residue.

"No—! Spare me! I am willing to serve you as my master!"

The Late-stage Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit let out a final, shrill, and desperate scream before being swallowed in one gulp by Er Gou's mouth, which seemed to connect to a dimensional abyss.

For Er Gou, who was currently on the verge of advancement and craved high-level energy, this high-concentration Late-stage Spirit Transformation energy body was an excellent growth tonic.

It let out a satisfied burp, and the dark red divine patterns on its originally pitch-black fur vaguely became brighter.

The remaining Nascent Soul Mid-Stage dark guard was already scared out of his wits. His spiritual power was completely out of control due to excessive fear, and he slumped directly onto the muddy ground, kowtowing frantically toward Gu Yang like pounding garlic, his forehead making a thumping sound against the stones:

"Lord, spare my life! Lord, spare my life! In this Storage Pouch, I have the Savage Domain distribution map of the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant Alliance, as well as secret node maps. I'll give them all to you! I'm just an ant following orders..."

Gu Yang didn't even look at him.

He walked slowly to the edge of the huge pit and looked down at the Giant Clan Elder, Kua Shen, who was at the bottom, having completely lost the ability to resist and was panting heavily with bloody breaths.

"Weren't you very arrogant at the auction house just now? Didn't you say you were going to pull out my soul and refine it in some Nether Fire for ten thousand years?"

Gu Yang leaped into the deep pit, stepping heavily on Kua Shen's chest, which was as broad as a door.

Because the density of his body was too high, Kua Shen's already collapsing chest cavity made a tooth-aching cracking sound again, and mouthfuls of blood mixed with organ fragments gushed from the corner of his mouth.

"Now, why don't you try saying it again? I want to hear that tone and see if it can stir up my Killing Intent."

In Kua Shen's huge pupils, there was no longer any of the savage dominance of a superior race, only a pitiful desire for survival and despair:

"Lord... Lord Gu... it's a misunderstanding... it was all the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant Alliance's instigation... my Giant Clan is willing to pay a sky-high compensation... my clan's ancestral land still has three drops of true blood left by the Titan ancestors. As long as you spare me, I will offer them all to you..."

"Compensation? Do you think if I kill you, these secrets won't still be mine? Direct soul searching is much faster than negotiating."

Gu Yang grinned, and that smile in Kua Shen's eyes was more hideous and terrifying than any peerless great demon.

"I think your vitality energy, which contains ten thousand years of life, plus this Qilin Spine that you've refined for thousands of years, is the best compensation for me. Compared to those ethereal promises, I trust the energy points I eat into my stomach more."

After saying that, Gu Yang raised his right fist, which flashed with dark gold and caused the surrounding space to vibrate slightly.

He punched down violently. Without any Spell effects, just pure, extreme strength, he directly pierced through Kua Shen's thick, shield-like chest.

Then, Gu Yang's five fingers churned violently. In the rising hot blood mist, he tore out that golden core, which was still beating violently and contained the lifelong essence of the Giant Clan, along with the sound of tearing muscle.

"energy points... the harvest officially begins. I hope your taste is better than that half-heart."

Gu Yang felt the surging and ancient power contained in the core in his hand. The Five Elements Great Millstone within him seemed like a shark that had caught the scent of blood, once again letting out a deafening roar that made the earth tremble.

This hunt, which was originally a certain death trap for him, under the crushing weight of absolute strength, eventually evolved into the most sumptuous 'Manchu-Han Imperial Feast' after his promotion to the Divine Demon Second Turn.

With the fall of the three top experts of the Savage Domain, the entire ruined battlefield fell into a dead silence.

Gu Yang stood at the peak of the ruins, his dark gold blood Qi rising like a pillar of signal fire straight into the clouds. The terrifying pressure of life caused those creatures hiding in the far distance, hoping to scavenge, to flee in terror, not even daring to look back.

From this moment on, in the chaotic and lawless Savage Domain, the name 'Gu Yang' would become an eternal, inescapable taboo of the ultimate path in the hearts of all who called themselves 'strong.'
