Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1735 - 880: The Next Instant (Part 2)

Arms, legs, torso... were instantly dissected into dozens of pieces! The cuts were smooth like a mirror, and one could even see the bones shimmering with precious light and the writhing viscera inside!

Even more horrifying, the Glazed Divine Flame clung tightly to those severed limbs and burning stumps like a malignant tumor, burning fiercely! Amidst the sizzling sound, the vast Qi-Blood was scorched and purified by the Divine Flame, emitting thick smoke filled with a burnt and stenchful odor!

In the blink of an eye, Huang Batian, who was previously untouchable, had turned into a pile of flesh burning under the Divine Flame!

Gu Sheng’s gaze was cold, intending to activate the Heavenly Demon Vine to completely devour these "nutrients" that contained vast amounts of Qi-Blood essence.

However, a sudden change occurred!

Those severed and burning limbs and flesh, as if guided by some invisible force, suddenly broke free from the burning of the Glazed Divine Flame and astonishingly gathered back to the center at an unbelievable speed!

The flesh frantically wriggled, spliced, and regenerated!

Almost in the blink of an eye, a whole and unscathed Huang Batian appeared in front of Gu Sheng!

No! Not the previous Huang Batian!

His body was undergoing a terrifying transformation! The original bronze skin was now densely covered with countless dark red, vein-like mysterious runes, exuding a sinister aura.

His short black hair grew manically as though alive, instantly becoming dark red and cascading down to his waist!

The corners of his mouth stretched, reaching back to his ears, and the original neat teeth turned sharp and shark-like white! Most nerve-wracking were the two pairs of crimson and callous eyes, devoid of any human empathy, that emerged beneath his eyes amidst a chaotic writhing of flesh!

Three pairs of six eyes locked onto Gu Sheng!

The previously hot and tumultuous red Qi-Blood around him swiftly faded, transforming into a deeper, more stagnant, and ominous black aura!

This aura... Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed; he recalled a similar demonization method once used by Xiao Beixuan. There seemed to be some resemblance between the two, yet upon closer perception, there was a subtle yet fundamental difference.

Xiao Beixuan’s demonization leaned more towards chaotic and rampant power, while Huang Batian’s current transformation evoked a strange feeling of a fierce beast metamorphosing into an ancient deity!

"Heh heh..."

Huang Batian emitted an inhuman, eerie laugh, with his six eyes rotating, carrying an aloof demeanor as if looking down on an ant.

"I thought that merely relying on this body cultivation’s path would be enough to crush you.

Who would’ve thought... you could force me to resort to this power."

Gu Sheng felt the geometrically multiplying terrifying aura of the opponent, his eyes remained calm, yet with a trace of gravity deep within, he responded indifferently.

"Even if you summon that extraterrestrial Blood Demon to possess you, you shall not be my match today."

"Blood Demon?"

The entity occupying Huang Batian’s body squinted all six eyes simultaneously, revealing a highly anthropomorphic expression of doubt and scrutiny, its voice overlapped and hoarse, as if two voices spoke simultaneously.

"How... do you know of my Blood Demon Clan?!"

Gu Sheng stood with hands behind his back, his robes fluttering amid the overwhelming black aura of the opponent, his tone imbued with an unwavering certainty.

"How I came to know is irrelevant. What’s crucial is if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time.

As long as I extinguish the Demon Thought attached to this person’s soul, your so-called ’Undying Body’ is a mere joke."

Facing the aura that surged, Huang Batian completed a bizarre transformation, Gu Sheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, yet he didn’t panic.

His mind sank deep into the Sea of Consciousness, transmitting a thought.

"Ling’er, stop pretending to sleep; come out and stretch your legs."

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, the warm source of light orb shook slightly, transmitting Gu Ling’er’s voice laden with sleepiness and reluctance, murmuring.

"Ugh... bad guy... I’m at a crucial moment of refining... so loud..."

Despite complaining, a spiritual light still swiftly flew from Gu Sheng’s glabella, landing beside him, transforming into the form of a delicately carved jade-like little girl.

Gu Ling’er rubbed her sleepy eyes, her small face full of disdain for having her sweet dream interrupted; she yawned, glanced at the terrifying, six-eyed Huang Batian opposite, and pouted.

"Just this fellow? Looks hideous, and stinks too..."

"Hold him for a moment, I need to shred his soul."

Gu Sheng succinctly instructed.

"Alright, alright, what a hassle."

Although Gu Ling’er voiced her disdain, her actions were not slow.

Her petite figure swayed slightly, and the next moment, as if teleporting, she appeared in front of Huang Batian without any warning! That speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of the naked eye and ordinary mental perception to capture!

"What?!"

All six eyes of Huang Batian suddenly contracted, revealing an extremely shocked expression! When did this little girl appear? How could her speed... be so fast?!

It seemed the Blood Demon occupying Huang Batian sensed something, a flicker of profound doubt crossed its crimson eyes, it opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.

"This aura... could it be..."

But Gu Ling’er denied him any opportunity to speak.

Her eyebrows furrowed, her disdainful expression intensified, as if the terrifying demon in front of her was nothing more than a pile of dirty garbage. "Stay away, you ugly freak, you stink!"

Before she finished her words, she lifted her soft, seemingly powerless little foot, and casually kicked towards Huang Batian’s glabella!

This kick carried no True Qi fluctuation, nor any earth-shaking momentum.

Yet, the instant her toe touched Huang Batian’s glabella—

"Dong!"

A sound like the morning bell rang from deep within Huang Batian’s body!

"Ugh ah ah ah—!"

Huang Batian emitted a scream, unlike any human sound, and his entire body convulsed violently! A blurry, menacing humanoid shadow with six arms, was forcibly kicked out of Huang Batian’s physical shell by Gu Linger’s seemingly light kick!

The six-armed shadow wriggled and struggled, roaring silently, surrounded by thick bloody Demonic Qi—it was exactly the Blood Demon Spirit Body that possessed Huang Batian!

Just in that moment when the Blood Demon Spirit Body was shaken out of the shell, Gu Sheng moved!

His eyes burst with divine light, unleashing his unrivaled Soul Power without reservation, quickly consolidating an almost transparent soul shadow identical to his own body in front of him!

This soul shadow took a step forward, as if transcending the spatial boundary, instantly appearing before the struggling, attempting to flee, six-armed Blood Demon Spirit Body. The soul shadow raised a hand, fingers spread open, grasping the six-armed Blood Demon in mid-air!

"Buzz—!"

An intangible imprisoning force specifically targeting the soul origin suddenly descended, like countless invisible chains, binding the six-armed Blood Demon’s spirit body firmly in mid-air! No matter how it struggled wildly or roared, how the Demonic Qi surged, it couldn’t break free at all!

The six eyes of the six-armed Blood Demon for the first time reflected genuine, deep-seated soul terror! It stared fixatedly at Gu Sheng’s calm soul shadow, as if witnessing some incredible existence.

Faced with this menacing demon, Gu Sheng’s soul shadow instead showed a light and cold smile.

"Perish."

His fingers in the void lightly closed.

"Puff—!"

Like crushing a bubble, the tightly imprisoned six-armed Blood Demon Spirit Body couldn’t even utter its final howl before it explosively shattered, transforming into countless threads of pure soul fragments and dissipating Demonic Qi!

Gu Sheng’s soul shadow opened its mouth wide and inhaled, generating an invisible suction force, engulfing all those pure soul fragments entirely, leaving only the filthy Demonic Qi to slowly dissipate in place.

Having completed this, the soul shadow rapidly faded, returning to Gu Sheng’s glabella as a stream of light.
