Chapter 258: Chapter 155: The Shanhai Trend, Martial Ancestor God Demon

"The Blood Barrier Pill must be hastened."

After leaving Lv Ruzhu’s cave dwelling, Gu Shanhai knew that it was unrealistic to open Dugu Tiansheng’s cave dwelling. The latter’s strength was likely far greater than his own.

Therefore, he needed some means to bait the man out.

For instance... exterminating a Heavenly Person.

Another reason was that he couldn’t wait for the Blood Barrier Pill to slowly gather lifeforce. If he couldn’t get these things done within a day, he might have to face eleven Martial Arts True Immortals and a Martial Ancestor next.

Actually, he wasn’t sure whether Dugu Tiansheng had the ability to directly unfreeze the other Martial Arts True Immortals, but at this point, he had to take a gamble.

To not gamble would be a loss.

Gu Shanhai trod through the sky, and flying was a skill he had always maintained, using mana to counter gravity and to generate upward currents.

Right, it was a bit different from traditional cultivation and magic, but as long as he could fly, it was fine. He had been mixed up in all this for so long and hadn’t actually found any method of flight or Escape Technique that suited him. Although there was Qinggong, he found it too troublesome to learn.

"Who is this third-rate Heavenly Person daring to approach the main hall of the Martial Pavilion!"

This time, Gu Shanhai approached with full transparency, concealing nothing of his form.

Glancing at the Heavenly Person whose face was flushed with the stimulation of the Blood Barrier Pill, Gu Shanhai dismissed him outright and went straight to the main hall to retrieve the blood-red pill.

Seeing Gu Shanhai’s actions, several Heavenly Persons were so furious they could burst. To them, Gu Shanhai was insulting them, not just physically but spiritually as well.

Naturally, they didn’t hesitate to charge at Gu Shanhai.

However, before they could reach him, a fragrant scent assaulted their nostrils.

In that moment, they felt an exhilarating ease as if ascending to immortality. When they regained their senses, they found themselves plummeting from the clouds.

Perhaps this was their fantasy. But in reality, their bodies instantly became mummified corpses mid-flight, their Qinggong abruptly stopping as their bodies fell from the sky and shattered on impact.

A sea of blood-red energy spread out from the Martial Pavilion like a deadly poison, leaving corpses strewn all over Heavenly City, a scene resembling human Purgatory.

"Won’t you come out yet? If not, everyone will be dead."

Gu Shanhai said calmly as he looked at the sky, waiting for the Martial Ancestor Dugu Tiansheng to emerge from his cave dwelling.

As the blood clouds spread, Gu Shanhai took a deep breath. If the other party was set on playing turtle with his poor-quality Escape Technique, then Gu Shanhai would have to continue to provoke him.

Time slipped away, and in all of Heavenly City, not a single living soul remained. The silence of death filled the entire city.

He reached out and squeezed, and as the blood clouds began to collapse, Gu Shanhai clenched them in his hand and forcibly stuffed them into the Blood Barrier Pill.

Once all was complete, the Blood Barrier Pill would no longer be a mere barrier but could be called the Great Rejuvenation Pill. The toxic power of the Blood Barrier Pill having been released and filled with a great amount of lifeforce, it truly became an immensely nourishing artifact.

With one Great Rejuvenation Pill, Gu Shanhai would gain ten thousand years of life and a vast amount of lifeforce.

For him, these were but trifles. The Heavenly Persons of a single city had yielded so little—that was a bit of a loss. If he had allowed the Blood Barrier Pill to collect lifeforce slowly, he would have gained much more life and lifeforce.

However, had he done so, he would need half a year to a year to gradually recover, whereas now, Gu Shanhai had made a quick profit.

Such opportunities would come again in the future—missing this one didn’t matter much.

"You can tolerate this much? I’ve done such ruthless deeds, yet you refuse to come out..."

"Could you really be an expert in the art of survival? But such actions hardly differ from a slow death."

Without the Heavenly Persons, the Heavenly Stealing and Spirit Returning Array would lose its power source, and with the disappearance of spiritual energy, the foe wouldn’t survive much longer.

Gu Shanhai pondered how to further provoke the other party when he saw a colossal crack continuously assaulting the sky above Heavenly City.

It was as if someone was furiously pounding on a wall.

"Wait a minute, could it be that the other party has been trying to open the door all this time, but trouble with a too-tight lock is the reason they can’t...?" Gu Shanhai commented sarcastically.

You don’t necessarily have to exit to interfere from afar; communication works just as well.

Crack~

The next moment, the sky fell.

Literally, physically, the sky came crashing down, and large pieces fell from the heavens straight onto the city.

"As I thought, he’s infuriated to the point of rage... I just said—" Gu Shanhai hadn’t finished his sentence when he felt an invisible tremendous force descend upon him. A terrifying momentum flung him far away, and after crashing through countless buildings, he finally halted.

"Ant, are you worthy?" a handsome young man in white clothing, with profound eyes and an angry expression, remarked.

Just like that, he had the air of a protagonist. Unfortunately, he was nothing but an inferior imitation.

Gu Shanhai looked at the huge hole in his chest and smiled.

"Why shouldn’t I be? If a reborn impostor like you can deceive and steal names, why should I not be worthy?" Gu Shanhai swallowed a Nine Extremes Outer Pill hidden under his tongue, and the next moment, his wound instantly healed.

The Magic Domain spread out, and a myriad of auroras and other phenomena erupted.

Dugu Tiansheng’s pupils shrank. He had never expected his secret to be exposed so blatantly by a stranger. Murderous intent erupted from his eyes—this man... must die!

"Those who know too much can’t live long!" Dugu Tiansheng took action in an instant, unleashing a very simple straight punch towards Gu Shanhai.
