Chapter 327: Chapter 269: Dragon Essence Golden Core Skill!
"There’s another Great Demon?!"
Staring at the Black Scorpion before him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but frown.
This Black Scorpion looked bizarre, as if it were a mass of black ink coalesced together, jet-black and capable of blending into people’s shadows, even with his Mid-Stage Golden Core Power of Divine Sense, he hadn’t detected it.
If he hadn’t practiced the Taiyin Godslaying Seal, he might have met his end on the spot.
However, the Taiyin Godslaying Seal is a one-hit kill seal, once unleashed, his own Soul Power would have a significant period of weakness, making it hard to even extend his Divine Sense.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan had refined the Spirit Water from the Three Divine Treasure Gourd, greatly increasing his Divine Soul Power. Although blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and his Divine Soul was weak, he had not lost his combat capability.
And the Black Scorpion before him was not in good shape either.
The Taiyin Godslaying Seal, containing the Divine Soul Power of a Mid-Stage Golden Core, was formidable. The inky black, dark light on the Black Scorpion’s body had dimmed considerably, as if it had faded, revealing strands of silvery luster.
As the dark light dimmed, the Black Scorpion’s aura also waned.
The eerie, invisible "sense of concealment" had also receded considerably.
If before, the Black Scorpion was completely hidden within Gu Yuan’s Divine Sense, it could no longer fully conceal its presence.
"Screech!"
But after being injured, the Black Scorpion became more frenzied and bloodthirsty, raising its abdomen and emitting a sharp cry.
This sound didn’t echo in human ears, instead it resonated with the soul, like a sharp spike stabbing towards Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul.
"Rumble!"
Yet, Gu Yuan merely waved his sleeve, and a crystalline pearl suddenly flew out.
Within the pearl, six strands of invisible, formless thunder light flickered constantly, a tremendous sound unheard by ordinary people roaring incessantly.
"Bang!"
The sharp screech emitted by the Black Scorpion shattered instantly before reaching Gu Yuan under the vast thunder sound.
Though the Black Scorpion’s screech was formidable, it was no match for the Radiant Heart Gang Thunder.
Moreover, the Wind Thunder Pearl flashed in a blink of an eye, striking the Black Scorpion’s head in an instant.
The Wind Thunder Pearl was not a Sword Pill, lacking the extremely sharp Sword Qi. When it struck the Black Scorpion’s carapace, it merely made a crisp sound, but the Black Scorpion seemed struck by lightning, its entire body trembling incessantly, unable to move for a long time.
The dark light on its body faded layer by layer, turning into an ordinary half-silver scorpion in an instant.
"Zing!"
Then Gu Yuan’s sword light twisted, directly slicing it into several pieces.
"Clang!"
Upon the Black Scorpion’s death, a silver light suddenly fell. Gu Yuan swept it up with his Mana and found it was the other half of the Jade Token dropped by the Stone Flood Dragon.
"Master is mighty!"
"Even two Great Demons could do nothing to Master; the treasures here rightfully belong to Master!"
The Heart-devouring Insect had been watching the battle from Gu Yuan’s shoulder, but the fierce aura of the two Great Demons made it tremble uncontrollably. Seeing Gu Yuan’s victory, it hastily flattered him.
"They’re just two Demon Beasts without spiritual wisdom..."
Gu Yuan shook his head slightly, but felt relieved.
Though these two Great Demons had limited spiritual wisdom and no treasures for protection, relying solely on instinct in Magical Combat, their Talent Techniques were extremely powerful. One had an Undying Body, the other an unparalleled concealment ability. If he didn’t coincidentally have the means to counter them, the outcome would have been uncertain.
"I wonder what kind of Exotic Species this Black Scorpion is, it’s quite eerie..."
Gu Yuan looked at the broken Black Scorpion’s corpse, his heart stirred slightly. He stored it and picked up the two Jade Tokens to examine.
When the two Jade Tokens were brought together, they instantly glowed with Spiritual Light, and a force of attraction suddenly emanated.
"Snap!"
Seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately let go, and the two Jade Tokens merged into one, a huge column of Spiritual Light shot straight into the sky.
On top of the White Jade Small Tower, the Sky-Sealing Array lit up with a golden glow, then slowly dissipated.
Moreover, outside the White Jade Small Tower, an invisible transparent membrane flickered for a moment, then slowly faded away as if it had never appeared.
For a moment, the entire cliff top was devoid of any Restrictions or defending measures.
Only a White Jade Small Tower hung upside down in the air, flickering with faint Dao Charm.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan didn’t immediately enter the Small Tower, but sat cross-legged, beginning to restore his Mana and Divine Soul Power.
He didn’t know how much time passed, until the moon hung low, and the Power of the Great Yin trickled down, did Gu Yuan stop his breathing exercises and stood up.
"Go!"
However, even then, Gu Yuan still didn’t enter the Small Tower immediately, but flicked his hand, sending the Heart-devouring Insect flying out.
"Master!"
The Heart-devouring Insect cried out immediately, very panicked.
Gu Yuan’s intention was obvious, he wanted it to be the pathfinder.
Yet it was only at the Earth Demon Realm.
Those troubles that were mere nuisances to Gu Yuan, resolved with a wave of his hand, were life and death crises for it.
"What’s there to panic about? If something happens, I’ll be right there!"
Gu Yuan scolded, urging it on.
If it’s something minor, you’ll be there immediately, if it’s something major, I’m afraid you’ll disappear without a trace.
The Heart-devouring Insect cursed in its heart, but dared not defy Gu Yuan’s orders, and could only wobble towards the Small Tower.
Gu Yuan vaguely sensed the Heart-devouring Insect’s thoughts, but didn’t bother to address them, he merely attached his Divine Sense to the Heart-devouring Insect, entering the tower with it.
He had no choice but to be cautious.
One must not be without vigilance against others.
The identity of the Master of this Secret Realm was unknown; whether the trial was truly to leave a legacy or for some ulterior motive was unclear.
Overall, caution was wise.
The material of this Jade Tower was extremely special, seamless throughout, appearing quite similar to the material of the "Deterrent Words Forbidden Heart Glazed Tower" in the Transmission Hall of Cyan Peak Daoist School.
