Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

The Demon Commander's heart was restless.

If the other party were to step into the Daoist Palace Realm, then across the entire Demon Realm, there would not be many beings truly capable of restraining him.

After all, even in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land, the number of Demon Commanders at the Daoist Palace Realm was not substantial, as for the Demon Lords who could rival the Saint Realm, they had all but vanished without a trace in this End of Dharma Era.

The era of great strife has not arrived.

It's rare for Demon Lords to emerge.

On the other hand,

Gu Xiu had already fled thousands of miles away.

At the same time,

he also made use of certain disguising techniques, transforming himself to resemble a demon, and infiltrated a Demon City. He paid a sum of Divine Blood Stones as a price to rent a temporary place to stay.

Such methods,

were not new to Gu Xiu.

The demons of the Demon Realm varied wildly, some completely different from the human race, while others superficially indistinguishable from humans. The only difference lay in the aura they emitted.

The Emperor Extreme Great Saint had long passed on the technique of disguising one's aura to Gu Xiu, and thus the latter could easily blend into the Demon City.

After all, the more perilous the place, the safer it often is.

People from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land probably wouldn't expect Gu Xiu to be lurking here.

Inside the mansion.

Within the secret chamber.

Gu Xiu had already washed away the bloodstains from his body, and the many wounds he once bore were now nowhere to be seen, not even a trace from the Iron Ghost Demon General's fatal blow before his death.

Seeing this,

The Emperor Extreme Great Saint couldn't help but sigh, "The Undying Divine Body truly is abnormal, deserving of its rank as the ninth top-tier Divine Body. You have just awakened the Undying Divine Body, not even reaching Small Success, yet you've already reached such a level.

One day, should you cultivate the Undying Divine Body to Great Success, then you will surely be on par with the ancient Great Emperors!"

The Emperor Extreme Great Saint had personally witnessed the bizarre aspects of the Undying Divine Body.

Even through the eyes of a Great Saint level being, he was shocked at the strength of the Undying Divine Body.

Gu Xiu shook his head, "Cultivating the Undying Divine Body is easier said than done. Even just reaching the Small Success of the Divine Body would require numerous Divine Medicines as well as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

"Be that as it may, the Demon Realm is rich in resources, and therein lies your opportunity," said the Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

To this,

Gu Xiu slightly nodded.

Since awakening the Undying Divine Body, he had received an inheritance from his bloodline, that was the imprint left in the bloodline by successive generations of the Undying Divine Body.

If a new Undying Divine Body appeared, it could receive the gifts of its predecessors.

Within it,

Lay the methods to cultivate such a Divine Body.

Cultivating a Divine Body

differs from the usual cultivation technique.

Such methods focus on unlocking the potential within the Divine Body, allowing the Divine Body to transform and evolve.

In other words,

Provided enough resources, Gu Xiu now had the capability to cultivate the Undying Divine Body to Great Success.

With the Undying Divine Body at Great Success, even though he was only at the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm, with the assistance of the Great Success Divine Body, he could even slay adversaries in the Daoist Palace Realm.

Conversely,

there have been beings who aimed for the Great Saint King rank or even the Quasi Emperor realm, who were unable to cultivate their Divine Body to Great Success.

It is evident,

whether the Divine Body reaches Great Success has little to do with cultivation realm.

At this moment, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint's heart was also filled with silent emotion.

Initially, the Emperor Extreme Great Saint had planned to wait until Gu Xiu's cultivation was sufficient to lead him into the Emperor Fallen Land to obtain the Nine Death Immortal Grass, so that he could awaken the Undying Divine Body.

But unexpectedly,

Gu Xiu had unearthed his potential in a life-and-death struggle, prematurely awakening the Undying Divine Body.

Even the Emperor Extreme Great Saint was shocked by such fortune.

It must be known,

that the awakening of a Divine Body

is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

In the past, many prodigies were unable to truly awaken their Divine Body, even on their dying day.

Small Success, like Gu Xiu, awakened the Undying Divine Body through the life and death struggles, which surely indicated a profound bounty of fortune.

More importantly,

During these recent times, Emperor Extreme Great Saint personally witnessed Gu Xiu's transformation. Whether it was in Cultivation Realm or battle experience, the other party made rapid and fierce progress.

In Gu Xiu,

Emperor Extreme Great Saint saw the shadow of the Young Emperor.

"Perhaps my disciple will really have the chance to step into the Emperor Realm one day!"

Young Emperor!!

The thought alone excited Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

He, Emperor Extreme, if he could truly cultivate an emperor-level powerhouse, would bring honor to himself when mentioned, enough to be remembered by the billions of the Human Race in the Ancient Desolate World.

At that time,

Not to mention reconstructing his physical body, even making further progress was not impossible.

Therefore,

Emperor Extreme Great Saint now seldom intervened in Gu Xiu's affairs. His existence served more often as a guide to Gu Xiu's cultivation, as well as to clear up any confusions the latter might have.

After all, true prodigies always have their own ideas. Every ancient Great Emperor had risen from a sea of corpses and a mountain of blood.

The path to becoming an Emperor was destined to be littered with corpses.

Only by dominating the world and suppressing an era's supreme beings could one truly qualify to ascend to the imperial throne.

Now, Gu Xiu's battle in the Demon Realm was as if retracing the steps of the ancient Great Emperors, and even more perilous.

After all, there were not many emperors who dared to enter the Demon Realm alone in their youth.

One must know that the Demon Realm was teeming with strong beings. According to the information Emperor Extreme Great Saint had gathered, many ancient beings in the Demon Realm had sealed themselves away. If these beings emerged, they could stir the Chaos Starry Sky.

Therefore,

If Gu Xiu could carve out a bloody path from the Demon Realm, it would be greatly beneficial to his subsequent growth.

As for Emperor Extreme Great Saint's thoughts, Gu Xiu did not pay too much attention to them at the moment, as all his focus was on cultivation.

The battle with the Iron Ghost Demon General made Gu Xiu realize that his cultivation was still insufficient. His second Level of the Divine Transformation Realm, even with the advantage of the Undying Divine Body, made it extremely difficult to fight a Demon General at the Sixth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

If it had not been a Demon General but rather a Demon Commander of the Daoist Palace Realm, Gu Xiu suspected he would have met his end there.

Only by raising his realm would he be safer in the Demon Realm.

"The second level of the Divine Transformation Realm is far from enough!"

"I must break through... At the very least, I need to step into the Daoist Palace Realm!"

"Moreover, only with sufficient cultivation will it be possible to leave the Demon Realm; otherwise, I might be trapped here for life!"

Gu Xiu's gaze was solemn; he naturally did not wish to be trapped in the Demon Realm for the rest of his life.

However, to leave the Demon Realm and return to the Ancient Desolate World, there were only two ways: either find one of the ancient Transmission Arrays, like the one in the Southern Domain.

Using a Transmission Array to return to the Ancient Desolate World.

The second,

would be to traverse the Chaos Void, push through the entire Chaos with absolute strength, and finally return to the Ancient Desolate World.

The former was self-explanatory.

According to the information Gu Xiu had gathered, all Transmission Arrays leading to the Ancient Desolate World were controlled by some top Demon forces.

Among them,

The Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was in possession of such Transmission Arrays.

That was why

Gu Xiu had confronted the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.

Furthermore—

from this information, Gu Xiu understood that the Demon Realm was always ready to attack the Ancient Desolate World, which was no ordinary news.

If he could return to the Ancient Desolate World, he would certainly inform the Divine Martial Dynasty about this matter, so everyone could prepare early.

Thus,

to achieve this, a sufficiently strong cultivation was required.

As for the second method, that need not be mentioned.

Navigating the Chaos was unpredictable and dangerous. According to Emperor Extreme Great Saint, countless ancient and terrifying beings resided there, and even a powerhouse at the Great Saint Realm could fall at any moment if they carelessly ventured into the Chaos.

Only an ancient Great Emperor could truly traverse the Chaos without fear.

Furthermore, considering the vastness of the Chaos, finding the location of the Ancient Desolate World within it was like looking for a needle in the ocean.

For both methods,

Gu Xiu deemed the first to be the most reliable.

However, regardless of the method chosen, the issue of cultivation strength could not be bypassed.

With that thought,

Gu Xiu began to consume the Demon Cores, silently enhancing his strength.
