Chapter 71: The True Body of Tianmo, Mutual Devouring

  The Soul Shackles bound Wan Yougen, instantly sealing his innate true energy and cultivation, causing him to fall back into the mortal realm. The Soul Shackles wrapped around him several times, rendering Wan Yougen immobile, lying stiffly on the ground.

  "Wanyougen shouted loudly: 'Youqiao, save me...'"

  "Yóu Gēn……!" Wàn Yǒu Qiáo shouted in a urgent voice, completely unexpected that Gǔ Chén's body actually had a high-quality artifact, the Soul Capturing Rope. To know, generally speaking, the Soul Capturing Ropes circulating on the market were all low-quality artifacts, and among them, there was no existence close to mid-quality artifacts.

  A high-quality spiritual artifact, the Captive Soul Cord, is an existence that is infinitely close to a top-quality spiritual artifact. Compared to ordinary high-quality spiritual artifacts, it is much more powerful. Although the Captive Soul Cord has little attacking power and is far inferior to the Qing Lei Sword in this regard, its effect of capturing enemies far surpasses that of the Qing Lei Sword.

  No matter how powerful a blow Gu Chen unleashed with the Qing Lei sword, even if Wan Yougen would be slightly injured, he could still withstand it. But as soon as the Cang Ling Suo was released, he couldn't block it and could only flee far away to avoid being bound by the Cang Ling Suo.

  In his haste, Wan Yougen never thought that Gu Chen's thrown-out funeral dirge was a top-grade magical instrument. Instantly, he was bound up properly.

  "You little brat from the Gu family, you're courting death..." Wan Youqiao said in anger, and then let out a loud roar: "Tianmo's true body..."

  As Wan Youqu let out a loud roar, a surge of black energy suddenly burst forth from his body, churning and boiling ceaselessly. His body grew larger and larger within the swirling black energy, crackling and popping incessantly, making it impossible to see clearly through the haze.

  "Ahahahaha... You're dead for sure, little boy from the ancient family! When Tianmo's true form is unleashed, it won't stop until it has bitten you to pieces, bit by bit. You'll watch as your body is torn apart, and you'll let out a miserable howl. You'll go mad with fear, and die after your body is completely shattered..." Seeing Wan Youqiao unleash Tianmo's true form, Wan Yougen laughed excitedly from the ground.

  "Is that so?" Gu Chen's expression turned solemn, the Qing Lei sword vanished, and a black flag appeared in his hand, along with a crimson bead. Immediately after, a bright red ring materialized on Gu Chen's right index finger. He said, "The true body of the Heavenly Demon? It's just a trashy technique. Even if it were the Heavenly Demon Saint Body, in front of me, there would only be one path - death."

  Tianmo Shengti, a superior magic cultivation method that strengthens the physical body, is not inferior to Gu Chen's Tiangang Quanti. This Tianmo True Body is merely an imitation of Tianmo Shengti and is only a middle-grade cultivation method.

  "Arrogant little brat, you will soon witness the true power of Tianmo's entity. Wait for your death..." A violent voice emerged from the surging black air, like a thunderclap.

  It was still Wan Youqiao's voice, but it was much louder than before. Gu Chen looked over and saw that the figure in the black air had grown to a height of two zhang, as thick as a water jar.

  Wan Yonggen immediately became excited and shouted: "Yongqiao, quickly... quickly kill that little boy, quickly save me."

  Sigh...

  A gust of wild wind blew by, and the black air outside Wan Youqiao's body dispersed, revealing his true form.

  Gǔ Zhēn's pupils contracted, Wàn Yǒu Qiáo's body, except for his two feet standing on the ground, the position of his four limbs and head were no different from those of a human being. Everything else about him could not be described as 'human'.

  Its body was as tall as two zhang, covered with armor-like scales, its skull was as big as a sand pot, without a single hair, all were thick and finger-sized inverted spikes, like steel cones.

  His mouth protruded forward, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a bloody big mouth. His lips could not cover his sharp long teeth, which were densely packed together.

  Both hands have turned into long claws, glossy black and several feet long.

  This... is simply a monster.

  From Wan Youqiao's body, Gu Chen felt a dangerous aura that was even stronger than Hei Xian Jue, an infinite approach to the power of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm. This is the true strongest power below the late Innate Realm.

  "Little kid from Gu's family, are you scared?" Wan Youqiao took a step forward towards Gu Chen, his mouth wide open with blood.

  Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "No, you're just like this."

  Huh?

  Wan Youqiao was enraged, shouting: "Die now, you despicable little brat..." His two claws shone with a dark light, surrounded by a powerful aura. With a sudden kick of his legs, the ground shook and mountains trembled. His body shot towards Gu Chen like lightning.

  Although its body has grown larger, its speed hasn't decreased at all, and it's even surpassed what it was before transformation.

  "Die, Gu Jiaxiao!" Wan Yougen roared excitedly on the ground.

  His lips curled up, revealing a hint of disdain. The flag of death fluttered forward, standing upright in front of him, over three feet tall. The bead of destruction also slipped out of his hand, like a crimson fireball, floating behind the flag of death.

  At the same time, Gu Chen's innate true energy surged wildly, all pouring into the Slaughter Ring. The Slaughter Ring's red light burst forth, and the blood-like liquid inside the ring flowed like blood. A red glow shot out and merged into the Destruction Pearl.

  Immediately, the destructive pearl's radiance greatly increased, and a virtual flame of about 3 meters in size instantly appeared. Three intense red lights shot out from the destructive pearl and merged into the death flag.

  Sigh...

  The Guiding Flower on the Flag of Death suddenly brightened up, as if it had come to life. The nine black auras shot out together, pouncing towards Wan Youqiao.

  In an instant, a deadly sense of crisis enveloped Wan Youqiao, and he was so frightened that he let out a sharp cry: "No... what is this?"

  The nine paths of Qi speed reached the extreme, and in an instant, he was already in front of Wan Youqiao. He had no time to dodge, and with a push of both hands forward, countless black airs surged out, forming a pre-heavenly Qi shield.

  At the same time, Wan Youqiao's whole body shone brightly, and the scales on his body lit up. The defensive aura flowed again, building another layer of defense...

  Looking at the nine black auras, Wan Yougen's face changed greatly as he exclaimed in shock: "It was you... it was you who killed Liu Chuan?"

  "You found out too late..." Gu Chen sneered.

  In the blink of an eye, nine black auras shot onto Wan Youqiao's congenital aura shield. Each black aura was like a strike from a ninth-level master of the Congenital Realm. How could Wan Youqiao withstand it?

  With a loud "Boom", the innate defensive barrier was instantly shattered, and the nine black auras continued to strike without diminishing in strength, hitting the second layer of defense on Wan Youqiao's body.

  His entire body was covered in black scales that were extremely hard, and had been strengthened by his innate true energy. Even a mid-grade artifact couldn't harm him...

  However, Gu Chen's strike was a combination of the three top-grade array instruments: the Slaughter Seal, the Destruction Pearl, and the Death Flag, which together could almost rival the power of a cultivator at the Divine Sea realm in a single blow.

  Wan Youqiao's scales only blocked for a breath, and then nine blood holes appeared immediately. He let out a miserable howl, and nine blood arrows shot out.

  In front of the Three Absolute Arrays, Wan Youqiao's Tianmo True Body was unable to withstand a single blow.

  However, Wan Youqiao's situation was much better than Liu Chuan's. Of the nine blood holes, only five had pierced his body, and the four remaining ones were blocked by him after piercing his defenses, greatly reducing their power.

  All four positions are fatal spots.

  So, Wan Youqiao was different from Liu Chuan. Liu Chuan was shot by the Nine-Path Blast and died instantly, while Wan Youqiao was only seriously injured.

  "Ah...... blood, I want blood, I want flesh..."

  Wan Youqiao let out a loud roar, the pain on his body making his eyes turn red. He felt his life slipping away and he urgently needed to replenish something... In his eyes, there was only desire, not a hint of emotion...

  Before the ancient Chen, Wan Youqiao felt fearful. Immediately, a blood-red gaze fell on Wan Yougen's body lying on the ground beside him.

  Whoosh...

  Wan You's eyes lit up brightly, just like a hunter spotting prey. With a burst of energy, he pounced on Wan You Gen.

  "No... friend, it's me, I'm friend..." Wan Yougen hadn't even finished speaking when he let out a miserable cry. One of his legs had already been bitten off by Wan Youqiao's bloody mouth.

  Wan Youqiao's big mouth didn't stop moving, and soon the whole leg, skin and bones, was swallowed by him.

  Wan Youqiao's eyes lit up: "Blood... flesh..."

  Another bite, and Wan You's root had another leg bitten off...

  Gu Chen looked at the scene with a cold gaze, memories of his past life surfacing like a tidal wave. When the Wan family slaughtered the Gu family, some members of the Wan family were also injured. At that time, they used this method to eat the flesh of many people from the Gu family to treat their wounds.

  Gu Chen raised his hand and beckoned, recalling the Soul-Imprisoning Rope. Wan Yougen's legs were gone, and to Gu Chen, both he and Wan Youqiao were birds in a cage, free to devour each other as they pleased.

  "Ah……Tianmo's true body……" The captive spirit chain on Wanyou Gen's body disappeared, and after a miserable cry, he let out a loud roar. In an instant, black air enveloped him, and his body began to change. Very quickly, he became the same size as Wanyou Qiao, except without legs.

  Ka... Wan Youqiao ate two legs and the injuries on his body had healed a lot. With another bite, he bit off one of Wan Yougen's arms.

  Severe pain made Wan Yougen let out a miserable howl again, and in his eyes, only a blood-red glow remained. He roared: "Blood... flesh..." Then, with his mouth wide open, he bit down on Wan Youqiang's arm.

  Two monsters entwined together, ceaselessly tearing and biting each other, eating away at each other's bodies. The parts on their bodies were getting fewer and fewer, but the injuries they suffered were getting heavier and heavier...

  Finally, Wan Youqiao emerged victorious. He first ate two of Wan Yong's legs and one arm, then ate the other arm, and finally bit down on Wan Yong's neck, sucking his blood until his body was motionless.

  Wan Youchang also paid the price of two arms.

  However, after sucking all the fresh blood of Wan Yougen, there was a sense of satisfaction on Wan Yougui's face, and he let out a comfortable sigh. The wounds on his body had completely healed, and his two arms were regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye...

  He walked from the brink of death to rebirth, his eyes filled with excitement and madness, completely forgetting that Gu Chen, his arch-nemesis, was still by his side.

  Gu Chen wouldn't let him fully recover before engaging in another fierce battle. The Pre-Heavenly True Energy surged, the Killing Intent was ignited, and a red light flashed. Then, through the Destruction Pearl and the Death Flag, one red light transformed into three crimson lights, which then transformed into nine black-colored auras that shot straight at Wan You Cao.
