There was no unexpected panic; Gu leaned forward, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile. This made the Shadow Demon, who had already begun to laugh, feel a bit uneasy. Surely, it couldn't have underestimated the human before it. It had to kill this human quickly—there could be no delays, and it must not allow Coco to unleash any more tricks.
Suddenly, the smile of the Shadow Demon froze. Its face, which had transformed into Gu's, began to twist in agony, resembling someone in deep pain. Soon, the Shadow Demon let out a wail, unable to believe the situation it found itself in. It emitted a mix of shock and rage, causing the Eastern Demon Spirits to cover their ears in desperation.
The Demon Spirits opened their eyes and looked up at the battlefield in the sky. The black Shadow Demon was now completely enveloped by a blinding light. They could see its body being scorched by emerald flames, revealing the withered bones of Canghong. One of its limbs remained trapped within Gu's body, struggling to break free. No matter how hard the Shadow Demon tried, all its efforts were in vain.
The Shadow Demon was afraid. It sensed that Gu was absorbing its power through its limbs. Soon, it felt itself being completely devoured. In that moment, it realized its mistake. What it touched was not just a beating heart but a hard crystal—Bu Luo believed this was the source of the human's power. Greedily, it wanted to extract that crystal but soon discovered it was mistaken.
From the moment its claws made contact with the crystal, the Shadow Demon found that the crystal was absorbing its power. Its spiritual energy surged uncontrollably toward that fist-sized crystal, startling the Shadow Demon. However, it quickly realized there was no way to escape from the crystal's devouring grasp; if things continued like this, it would be completely consumed in less than fifteen minutes.
With a hiss, the Shadow Demon struggled desperately, using all its remaining strength to attack Gu. But it was already too late; light enveloped the entire body of the Shadow Demon, while chaos lurked within—light mixed with the darkness of the Shadow Demon, rapidly transforming into Chaos Power that surged outward from Gu's body.
"Let him go!"
This was the first time the Shadow Demon communicated with Gu, and unexpectedly, it was a plea for mercy. In that moment, it truly felt the threat to its life—the draining of its vitality made it abandon all dignity in hopes of survival; it would do anything to live.
"Please! Let him go!"
The voice of the Shadow Demon had grown faint, yet that powerful pull remained unyielding. What it did not know was that what it touched was none other than Gu's external manifestation of the Chaotic Dao Foundation. This was fundamentally different from any ordinary Daoist Sect, as Gu Zhi's path—the Beginning Path—was an aggressive form of foundation that would consume anything with similar power. Therefore, when the Shadow Demon extended its claws into its own body, Gu felt no panic; instead, he harbored a hint of anticipation because he wanted to see what would happen when the Shadow Demon came into contact with the Chaotic Dao Foundation.
As expected, even if Gu wished for that process to stop, he could not intervene. It wasn't until the Shadow Demon was completely consumed by the Beginning Path that this process came to an involuntary end. Following this, Gu felt a response from the Beginning Path, and his body became even stronger.
Boom!
Gu Quanli thought about falling to the ground, and then he stomped heavily on the earth, causing the entire layer of the Broken Wall to tremble. All the Demon Spirits looked at him in astonishment; he had done it, and the Shadow Demon didn't even have a chance to escape. From that moment on, in the eyes of those Demon Spirits, Gu Na was a true powerhouse, deserving their respect. I don't deny his talent and his future.
The leading Nightmare approached Gu, lowering its proud head in a gesture that expressed respect. The Spirit Tribe bowed to a strong warrior.
The Azure Bull fell silent once again. The aura of the Shadow Demon faded from the world, while Gu's presence grew stronger than ever. He didn't understand why every time he thought that human was about to fall, that person would rise again and fight back, turning the tide in the most dangerous moments.
Each battle made that human even stronger; his power was advancing at an astonishing speed. Now he had actually defeated the battle-hardened Shadow Demon. Though it was unclear what techniques he had used, it was undeniable that this human had truly triumphed. The Shadow Demon was dead; that was a fact that could not be ignored.
He won.
The Senior Sister looked at the Azure Bull, and even she couldn't believe what he had just said. Junior Brother won? He really won?
Was there anything that human couldn't achieve?
