With his legs pressing eastward, it felt as if all the spiritual energy in the world converged into them, propelling Gu upward toward the sky. In just a few blinks, he had reached a height comparable to that of the Shattered Seal Spirit.
Seeing Gu's incredible speed, the Shattered Seal Spirit retracted its mocking demeanor and swung its claws. Although it did not move, its attack was already upon Gu.
Gu didn't even notice a slight wrinkle in the sky ahead of him. From the front, there appeared to be no change at all, but from the side, one could see that the angle of light refraction had shifted. The attack from the Shattered Seal Spirit altered the spatial position in front of Gu, creating an invisible wall.
There was no time to react; Gu crashed into the wall with a thud, and Yuanji sent him flying back. Gu Na furrowed his brow tightly; he had never encountered a Shattered Seal Spirit before. While he knew that guarding such a place would require immense strength from any Demon Spirit, he hadn't anticipated how difficult this one would be to deal with. Its attacks came without warning—just a lift of its claw rendered Gu unable to move.
Watching the now silent Shattered Seal Spirit, Gu Zhi realized how accurately it intercepted Dong Lai. The Shattered Seal Spirit must have been equally focused, which explained why it was scrutinizing Gu with such intensity.
In the eyes of the beast, Gu likely appeared no different from any other creature—walking on two legs like an ape, lacking any strange weapons or attire that some demon races favored. It was simply that Bu Luo had tied up its hair differently.
In contrast, Gu viewed the Shattered Seal Spirit as shrouded in a mysterious veil. He had never encountered such a Demon Spirit before; its fur shimmered like bright silver and its body flowed like liquid. Bu Luo maintained a fixed form with four fingers on its forelimbs and sharp claws. Its head bore multiple eyes scattered across its surface, and its large mouth resembled a scar that ran through its entire head. When it smiled, its voice was eerily strange, reminiscent of its earlier attack.
This unprecedented beast was unlike anything Gu had ever seen; not even books contained records of such creatures. It seemed that this truly was a gathering place for powerful beings, and he couldn't help but wonder how far he would have to go to earn recognition from a Demon Spirit.
The peculiar temperament of the Shattered Seal Spirit lay atop Azure Bull's head as it opened and closed its mouth. It had failed against its bizarre attacks and now found itself at Broken Wall.
In that realm, failure meant starting over from scratch. But it was old now; after more than four hundred years of time passing by, while Spirit Cat continuously progressed, it never broke through the limitations of its own race and remained stuck at the Infant Stage. Now that it had aged, it lacked the motivation to climb over that broken barrier—it was simply too weary.
Azure Bull's rough voice carried an undertone of unwillingness; they had once stood before Broken Wall as strong beings who defeated countless beasts to emerge as champions. Yet they could not escape the erosion of time or the constraints of their race to become guardians of Demon Spirits. They watched as one life after another challenged what they once climbed over at Broken Wall.
Every time they saw a living being challenge Broken Wall, those Demon Spirits would focus intently on them. They always sought to find their former selves among those figures. Almost every time someone ascended Broken Wall to challenge Heavenly Ladder, all Demon Spirits would think of one phrase: they too had once climbed there and witnessed the scenery beyond Broken Wall.
It was strong. I thought it had lost because it was old, but that was not the case. The Spirit Cat smiled, and although the expression in the senior sister's eyes made the Spirit Cat look quite comical, one could still sense the bitterness in its heart. I realized I was wrong; it had nearly defeated him during his peak, and it was in a field where he excelled. That was why it remained there, knowing that the Shattered Seal Spirit would never be satisfied with its position of Forgiveness. One day, when it felt strong enough, it would challenge the Heavenly Ladder, because it had every reason to keep pushing itself toward the Heavenly Ladder.
What was my strongest point?
I would never run out of spiritual power.
At that moment, Gu Cuo and the Shattered Seal Spirit were engaged in a fierce battle. Gu Zhi knew that his body could not withstand the Shattered Seal Spirit's attacks, but the Yin Yang Cloak could. With each clash, Gu had to rely on his legs to absorb the impact of the Shattered Seal Spirit's strikes. Each punch seemed to hit nothing but air; anyone watching might think Gu Cuo was just flailing at nothing, but he knew very well that the space before him was filled with barriers.
With barely a thought, he leaped to a height of one meter and unleashed all his strength in a punch. I don't deny it. His left leg radiated light while his right leg was shrouded in chaos, giving him immense explosive power. With sheer force, he shattered the barriers in front of him. When Gu finally reached the Shattered Seal Spirit, he found himself face-to-face with it as it grinned widely, letting out a cackling laugh.
In that moment, Gu noticed that around him, what had once been an intact space now bore cracks—dark fissures through which flashes of color occasionally slipped by like liquid flowing through the breaks.
