Breakthrough is a good thing for Gu Tuo.
After decades, he finally stepped into the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm, reaching the peak combat power of the Xian Sheng Dynasty.
"With my strength at the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm, there are only a handful of warriors in the entire Evil Cultivator organization who can surpass me!"
Gu Tuo laughed heartily and cast a grateful glance at Lin Qiubai.
In that gaze, there were tears glistening. If it weren't for Lin Qiubai, he might have been bound here for a lifetime, unable to make any progress.
Bright Lord.
The Bright Lord, favored by destiny.
With the Holy Evil Order and such an extraordinary Holy Gu.
If this is not the Bright Lord, then who is?
Gu Tuo held Lin Qiubai in high esteem in his heart.
Lin Qiubai also smiled brightly.
"Just focus on overcoming your tribulation."
These simple words were warm and comforting.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tuo quickly immersed his mind within himself, concentrating on dealing with the Nirvana Flames that were sprouting from his internal organs.
Nirvana Warrior The greatest fear is the Nirvana Fire. This fire can burn away everything within a warrior, igniting negative emotions, awakening inner demons, and even refining the Three Souls and Six Spirits into nothingness.
In the past, Gu Tuo was haunted by inner demons and feared being consumed by them, leading to his demise. Thus, he dared not confront the Nirvana Fire directly.
Now, however, he sits calmly in a cross-legged position, his hands forming seals in front of his chest. A torrent of vital energy surges within him like a tsunami, inflating the thin Azure Robe he wears.
Gu Tuo’s Dan Suppression Realm resembles a series of water prisons. The iron pillars of these prisons are rusted and worn, with a dim beam of light as thick as a wrist casting down—this is the only source of illumination within the water prisons.
It is indeed tragic that the shadows of Gu Tuo's childhood have manifested into this Dan Suppression Realm, which is dark and oppressive.
Originally not very useful, it later transformed into one of Gu Tuo’s greatest trump cards—a mid-tier royal Martial Art: the Nether Prison!
At this moment, Gu Tuo exerts all his strength to activate the Nether Prison, attempting to confine the Nirvana Fire that rampages through him like locusts.
However, the Nirvana Fire is extremely perilous and capable of burning through nothingness. It quickly begins to incinerate the cages one by one...
Gu Tuo’s ** also starts to collapse, thick black smoke billowing from his shoulders, chest, head, and knees, emitting a foul odor that is nauseating.
“Ah! Suppress it for me!”
Suddenly, Gu Tuo opens his eyes wide, two pale flames of Nirvana Fire igniting within them.
He flips his palm and retrieves treasures from his storage ring.
Over the years, although Gu Tuo has been deeply ensnared by inner demons and has felt despondent and defeated, he has always been on guard against an unexpected Nirvana Tribulation. Thus, he has scavenged for rare materials everywhere and has also been refining Nirvana Pills in his spare time.
After several decades, he has accumulated a modest fortune.
At this moment, Gu Tuo's expression remained unchanged, exuding a strong sense of confidence.
He refined the Nirvana Pill and several vibrant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into a Vitality Torrent, which surged into his body. Guided by his will, he suppressed the Nirvana Flame!
"That is the Nirvana Pill. It can only be refined by a Nirvana Realm Warrior. The Elixir contains a trace of the unique vitality of a Nirvana Expert, which can be used to suppress the Nirvana Flame.
If you have enough Nirvana Pills, you can directly use the vitality within them to cover the destructive power of the Nirvana Flame. At that point, Nirvana will be an enjoyment for you!
I suggest you gather more Nirvana Pills. When the time comes for the Nirvana Tribulation, it won't be too unbearable."
The spirit of the artifact saw the Nirvana Pill and recalled some common knowledge, pointing at Gu Tuo to remind Lin Qiubai.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai also raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise.
However, it was clearly not the time to consider this matter.
With that thought in mind, Lin Qiubai took out all the Elixirs and Supreme Yuan Stones from his Storage Ring and frantically operated the River and Mountain Map, transforming them into a murky river of Vital Energy that crashed toward Gu Tuo.
This helped Gu Tuo suppress the Nirvana Flame.
The considerable amount of Vitality Torrent was undoubtedly a timely aid for Gu Tuo.
Gu Tuo felt immensely grateful and relaxed slightly.
Lin Qiubai quickly reminded him loudly, "Senior Gu, don't worry about breaking through. My Holy Gu can also devour the Nirvana Flame. There's no need to be concerned; this mere Nirvana Tribulation is nothing to worry about."
Hearing Lin Qiubai's words, Gu Tuo cautiously diverted his attention to observe, only to see Demon Wugui wandering around his meridians, actually devouring a portion of the Nirvana Flame!
Although the absorption was not significant, it made Gu Tuo feel both surprised and moved, causing the last trace of vigilance to vanish.
"The Bright Lord is sparing no effort to assist this old man; I will surely dedicate myself wholeheartedly until death!"
With this thought, Gu Tuo's resolve strengthened a bit. He steadied himself and focused all his energy on dealing with the Nirvana Flame.
However, the Nirvana Flame was no ordinary fire; it surged again and again, fierce as a primordial Behemoth, leaving Gu Tuo's body in a state of ruin.
At this moment, Demon Wugui had quietly arrived at Gu Tuo's abdomen. Since this area was close to the Dantian, the Nirvana Flame here was particularly vigorous.
Demon Wugui slowly devoured the Nirvana Flame while following Lin Qiubai's instructions, moving along the meridians to the outside of the Dantian.
This was a third core for martial artists, aside from the Heart and the brain.
If a martial artist's Dantian were to be destroyed, it would not be fatal, but their cultivation would dissipate, instantly reducing them to a useless state!
Having the Dantian destroyed was even more terrifying than killing a martial artist!
"Break!"
Lin Qiubai's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.
His upper and lower lips lightly touched. A murky yet destructive syllable was calmly uttered.
Gu Tuo's hand seal on his chest suddenly trembled.
After that, the Black Handprint quickly dissipated in the Void, like smoke blown away, disappearing between heaven and earth in an instant...
A deep sense of disbelief surged across Gu Tuo's face, his expression filled with pain and sorrow, reminiscent of many years ago when Gu Tuo learned that his childhood friend had died in an accident...
Lin Qiubai sneered coldly, casually beckoning as the Demon Wugui fell into his arms. At the same time, he lightly tapped his toes and retreated. With a swift motion of his hand, the Heavenly Treasure Chest hidden on Gu Tuo was drawn by the system and shot towards Lin Qiubai, finally landing securely in his hands.
"You... Lin Qiubai! Your schemes are truly deep! You’ve deceived me so thoroughly!"
Gu Tuo was furious, his eyes bloodshot and locked onto Lin Qiubai, but in a flash, that gaze filled with hatred was burned clean by two Nirvana Flames.
His entire being transformed into a fiery stick.
The terrifying scene at that moment caused Liu Ku to faint from fear...
Shang Feng, on the other hand, was drenched in cold sweat, as if caught in a rainstorm.
Sweat dripped down his jaw in a continuous stream, plopping to the ground.
"You... you killed a Nirvana Realm Level Three Evil Cultivator?!"
Shang Feng was utterly alarmed.
A Level Three powerhouse from the Nirvana Realm was killed by a youth who had just entered the Yuan Dan Realm?!
This was simply too surreal.
Shang Feng wiped the beads of sweat from her delicate face.
She knew this was a fact. A Nirvana Realm expert had truly been defeated by an ant from the Yuan Dan Realm.
Shang Feng calmed the storm of emotions within her and began to recall the events that had just transpired, analyzing every detail frame by frame.
At that moment, she realized that Lin Qiubai was like a master chess player, fully aware of how to manipulate human hearts.
Every word and action was deliberate, each move connecting with precision, as if orchestrating a deadly formation.
Moreover, the hidden killing intent beneath the seemingly gentle demeanor was like a mirage in the desert—cruel and lethal.
In the end, Lin Qiubai had effortlessly pushed a Nirvana Realm triple expert toward the abyss of annihilation!
Thinking of this, Shang Feng took a deep breath.
If such a person were born into a royal family, they would surely be a nightmare for the other princes!
Her brothers, if faced with a competitor for the throne like Lin Qiubai, would have likely been devoured completely!
This ambitious girl, intent on the throne, trembled all over, cold sweat soaking her long dress...
"I am so afraid of you. For the sake of my future stability on the throne, I must kill you while you are severely injured!"
Shang Feng's delicate brows furrowed as she looked seriously at Lin Qiubai, her killing intent radiating fiercely, piercing into Lin Qiubai's brow with pain.
