The cold moonlight illuminated Gu Ping's red face, making the surrounding beasts feel as if he were a devil cloaked in a sacred guise, even more terrifying than Extermination itself. That devil had gone off to challenge another devil that instilled fear in them.
The Broken Wall, which could easily block an Infant Stage demon, was nothing to Gu Ping. Taking advantage of his recent breakthrough and full of energy from his victory over the Demon Spirit Army, Gu Ping decided to press on and quickly ascend to the next level under the moonlight.
The Broken Wall was overgrown with strange plants that attempted to hinder Gu Ping, but no matter what tricks those plants employed, they could not stop his advance. Gu Ping effortlessly reached the Broken Wall.
There were no beasts, no creatures at all; aside from the birds and insects residing in the trees, Gu Ping sensed no other life forms. Unbeknownst to him, this was likely because all the Demon Spirits that sensed his powerful Light Spirit Power had retreated to the layer he had just left. Thus, in this layer, aside from Extermination, he would encounter no other Demon Spirits.
Demon Spirits at the Transcendence Stage were different; they could resist even the temptations of life itself. I don't deny it. Like other Demon Spirits, Bu Qinyi's Gu Ping launched an attack.
Those Demon Spirits capable of scaling the Broken Wall followed suit. They wanted to know which was stronger: the devil cloaked in a sacred exterior or Extermination. Would Extermination once again end a challenger's life? I don't deny it. That devil had previously defeated Extermination, and all the Demon Spirits were very curious.
Azure Bull once again spoke about Gu Ping's situation. Azure Bull believed that after his breakthrough, Gu Ping's path should be unobstructed by Jie Donglai. It had never imagined witnessing such a scene: a human besieged by thousands of the Demon Spirit Army yet capable of overcoming them—this was simply not Coco's situation.
But a miracle unfolded before its eyes; Gu Ping had broken through, and his formidable combat power left all the Demon Spirits in awe. No Demon Spirit dared to attack that human anymore. If the Spirit Tribe acknowledged him, then Gu Ping had indeed proven himself.
"Little one, what is your companion's name?" Azure Bull asked. It was a strong being, one deserving of respect from all Spirit Tribes. Although it was not as powerful now, its spirit of advancing forward without retreat inspired genuine admiration from all the Demon Spirits.
"His name is Gu Nian, also known as Xuan."
"Gu Nian?" Azure Bull repeated softly before letting out a long bellow.
Moo!
Hearing Azure Bull's long bellow, all the Demon Spirits echoed with their own calls.
Roar!
Howl!
Outside the Flowing Cloud Realm, all the Demon Spirits conveyed a message: the name Gu Ping was one worth remembering by all Demon Spirits. That person would be etched into the history of the Eternal Source Teiyou Spirit clan. The tales of that individual would be passed down through the Spirit Tribe, and although it was merely a long cry, the constantly shifting syllables contained all the meanings they sought to convey.
From that moment on, all Demon Spirits would know that a person named Gu Nian had breached the first level of the Heavenly Ladder and stood before Extermination.
The battle began.
Just before Gu Ping arrived at the Broken Wall, he had not clearly seen what it looked like when Extermination's attack struck. Gu Ping flew out like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into a tree, blood of a gray-red hue spilling from his chest.
Clutching his wound, he struggled to rise from the ground. He couldn't steady himself and rolled away just in time to narrowly evade Extermination's Dongyi strike. "I don't deny it." He did not look at Extermination's figure.
That was Extermination—a calm Killing Leg, a terrifying assassin. Although possessing strength surpassing that of Yuanji, Extermination would never underestimate any living being. Moreover, Extermination never chose to confront enemies head-on unless they were weak enough to be crushed with a single finger.
What exactly was happening? Gu Ping wondered as he rolled away again to dodge another attack from Extermination. After three strikes had passed, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of Yongxuan Gu Ping, let alone mount a counterattack. For the first time, Gu Ping realized that his powerful Divine Sense had failed to detect the enemy, which left him hanging in a state of unease.
That kind of invisible pressure was something Gu Ping hadn't felt in a long time; it reminded him of when he was fleeing and constantly felt the oppressive weight of death. It was like standing on the edge of a cliff, where even a single misstep could plunge one into an abyss. Gu Ping was all too familiar with Bu Luo, yet he found himself strangely drawn to that feeling because it often drove a person to lose their sanity—and Gu Ping was no exception.
