Chapter 22 The Immortal-Fighting Nether Body lives up to its name; since it can't be fed enough
"Thump—!"
My heart skipped a beat, like a war drum being struck by a heavy hammer.
A slight tremor came from the ground beneath Gu Xuan's feet, and the scattered pebbles around him jumped and made a soft "rustling" sound.
He suddenly looked down.
The crimson-gold veins beneath the skin suddenly spread at an accelerated pace!
The burning sensation started in the palm, wrist, and forearm, then spread down to the shoulder and chest.
Wherever the lines passed, the skin shimmered with a layer of molten gold luster.
The edges of the Xuanjia armor plates curled up, and pieces fell to the ground, causing the surrounding air to distort and deform.
"Thump—!"
Another muffled thud exploded from deep within his chest.
The reddish-gold lines that appeared on the surface of the skin all sank inwards.
It forcefully pushed open Gu Xuan's tough skin, ruthlessly burrowing beneath the flesh and merging with the muscles, blood, and bones.
"Click—click—click—"
A series of popping sounds, like popping beans, came from deep within the bones.
With each loud bang, Gu Xuan's body sank a little further down.
The ground beneath their feet collapsed inch by inch, stirring up thick dust and smoke.
One inch, two inches, three inches...
Not far away, the East Sea Dragon Horse suddenly let out a frightened neigh and retreated twenty feet.
It cowered in place, its eyes filled with terror as it watched Gu Xuan gradually disappear into the smoke and dust, not daring to take a single step closer.
......
After a dozen or so breaths, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Gu Xuan stood quietly at the bottom of the pit, which was three zhang deep.
The internal anomalies gradually subsided, breathing became steady, and the crimson-gold patterns on the body surface disappeared, disappearing into the flesh and bones.
An unprecedented feeling of fullness filled my limbs and bones.
Gu Xuan slowly raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
"Thump."
A muffled, thunderous boom exploded in my palm.
The rubble within several meters was all thrown into the air by the shockwave!
Gu Xuan straightened up and turned his head to look at Lei Zhenzi's two halves of his body not far from the pit.
"If another battle were to break out..."
"No need to use the Shattered Spear to unleash 'Heaven Shatter'."
"The first shot is enough!"
Thinking of this.
Gu Xuan lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the broken spear tip at his waist.
He stared at it quietly for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and extended his index finger.
"laugh--"
A wisp of lapis lazuli, as thin as a hair, emanated from the spear.
A smooth cut instantly split open on the skin of the fingertip, from which a bead of bright red blood seeped out.
But the next second—
A streak of crimson gold pattern flashed across his fingertip and disappeared in an instant, and the blood droplet was actually "absorbed" back!
The intent of the Heaven-Slaying Spear also vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
Take a breath.
The wound has healed and is as smooth as before.
Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
"Sizzle!"
A lapis lazuli spearhead, about the width of an index finger, emerged from the fingertip.
The skin and flesh of the index finger are rolled back, revealing the bone.
The crimson-gold patterns hidden deep within the bones and blood began to writhe wildly, as if they were alive.
In just three breaths.
The wound healed again.
At the cracked bone seam, a faint reddish-gold luster shone.
Gu Xuan stared intently at his fingertips.
After a moment of silence, he once again channeled his gun intent.
A beam of azure-gold spear light, as wide as two fingers, forcefully shot out from the fingertip!
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
A clear crack appeared on the finger bone.
Fresh blood flowed down the cracks in the bone and dripped onto the ground.
The crimson gold patterns reappeared, prompting frantic repairs.
But this time the healing process was noticeably slower...
Even the color of the crimson gold patterns has dimmed somewhat due to continuous consumption.
Suddenly.
A chill crept up from the depths of his body, sending a frantic warning through Gu Xuan's heart.
One more point...
Then you won't be able to bear it!
Gu Xuan immediately dispersed the intent of the spear at his fingertips.
He looked down at the cracks on his fingertips that were still slowly healing, and murmured softly.
"The first strike far surpasses even a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure..."
"The second shot should be no weaker than a low-grade innate master—"
Just as I was pondering this.
Gu Xuan felt an intense hunger surging from within his body!
next second.
The crimson-gold patterns hidden in the blood and bones suddenly lit up and appeared on the surface of the body.
An invisible, terrifying suction force spread wildly outwards along the crimson-gold patterns!
Gu Xuan suddenly lowered his head.
At the broken ends of the two golden cudgels in his hand, wisps of wind and thunder laws were slowly rising.
Not far away, on Lei Zhenzi's mangled corpse, wisps of wind and thunder Daoist energy and artistic conception were also emanating...
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out!
The laws, principles, and artistic conceptions that should have drifted away with the wind and returned to the world appeared so abruptly and remained suspended in mid-air!
Just then.
On Gu Xuan's arm, lines of crimson gold suddenly protruded.
Like gaping mouths, revealing laws, Dao principles, and artistic conceptions...
Take a bite!
Chew it up raw!
Then, following the crimson gold patterns, it transformed into the most primal energy and forcibly poured into Gu Xuan's limbs and bones!
next second.
Gu Xuan was shocked to see that the blood flowing from his finger bone was forcibly pulled back by the crimson-gold patterns.
The bone fissures that were slowly repairing were completely healed in less than a breath!
Upon seeing this, Gu Xuan's pupils contracted slightly.
This Immortal Body of Battle...
It not only made his physical body more than ten times stronger.
It can even devour the opponent's laws, intents, and Dao essence to replenish its physical body's repair capabilities?!
It seems to have ingested the remaining essence of Lei Zhenzi's laws...
A faint sense of satisfaction emanated from the crimson-gold patterns within his body.
But Gu Xuan could clearly sense a deeper hunger hidden beneath the faint sense of satisfaction!
This devouring power...
It seems there is no upper limit!
"Origin, Daoist essence, artistic conception..."
"The Immortal Body of Battle..."
"Truly deserving of its name."
Gu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
He then calmly withdrew his hand and chuckled softly.
"Since we can't feed them enough..."
"Then keep feeding them."
As a soft, warm light gradually rose in the distance.
Gu Xuan glanced back at the first sliver of dawn rising in the sky, then waved his hand to summon the Dragon Horse of the East Sea.
"It's time to go back."
He raised his hand and gently patted the horse's neck before mounting it.
The East Sea Dragon Horse suddenly lowered its body, let out a deep neigh, and galloped towards Xiqi with its four hooves treading on crimson flames.
……
The morning light gradually brightened.
The devastation in the canyon was clearly visible in the sunlight.
Broken ancient trees, shattered rocks, and a terrifying ravine stretching hundreds of feet straight down.
After a long time.
A beam of silver light suddenly tore through layers of clouds and mist, passed over the canyon, and flew straight towards Xiqi.
Suddenly.
As the silver light passed over the canyon, it seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, it turned back with a terrifying aura and crashed down to the bottom of the canyon!
"boom!"
The silver light fell to the ground, scattering pebbles and stirring up clouds of dust.
"puff--"
A fair hand suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust, fanning itself.
The smoke and dust dissipated.
A handsome young man dressed in a silver robe with mysterious vertical lines on his forehead suddenly appeared.
The boy straightened up, his cold gaze quickly sweeping over the surrounding ruins.
The next second—
His body stiffened abruptly, his gaze fixed on the pile of rocks in the distance.
Lei Zhenzi's body, neatly cut in two, lay quietly in a pool of blood.
"Lei Zhenzi...Junior Brother?!"
