Gu Yuan’s eyes held a trace of determination, his internal qi and blood erupting once more.
A large amount of pure blood energy instantly condensed on his skin, forming a thick layer of bloody armor. Thunder rumbled within him, and streaks of azure patterns subtly appeared on Gu Yuan’s arms.
Gu Yuan’s speed instantly doubled compared to before.
At the very moment Yang Tian Kui’s gang qi was about to touch his abdomen, he struck Yang Tian Kui’s neck. His blade collided with the materialized white true qi, tearing out countless sparks.
Here, his true qi was as hard as metal, capable of blocking high-frequency slashes during his clash with Qiu Shui.
The gang qi surging from his abdomen suddenly erupted in a massive explosion. The resulting force sent both of them flying dozens of meters apart. Gu Yuan, holding Qiu Shui, looked at the huge crater blown into the blood qi armor on his abdomen, which was rapidly being restored by his blood energy.
He looked up at Yang Tian Kui, a trickle of blood already flowing from his neck. How could his high-frequency blade be blocked so easily?
Yang Tian Kui wiped his hand across his neck, the blood disappearing and the torn wound healing rapidly.
Gu Yuan let out a long cry, his internal blood energy erupting again, forming a three-meter radius domain around him. This was the domain that automatically formed around the body when blood energy reached a certain level, the Yang Domain!
Those within this domain would be suppressed by Gu Yuan’s blood energy and unable to unleash their full strength.
He stomped forward fiercely, and the fiery red figure instantly vanished from its spot as he threw a punch.
The power of the Overwhelming Sea Giant Whale was directly channeled into Gu Yuan’s fist. Yang Tian Kui’s eyes flashed, and from the center of his brow, a tiny sword, invisible to the naked eye, stabbed directly towards Gu Yuan’s brow.
Gu Yuan’s brow throbbed with pain. Damn it, a mental attack. What a sneak attack.
He cursed inwardly, his soul in his mind swiftly transforming into a chaotic demonic ape exuding a deep demonic aura, its thick ape arms sweeping out, directly smashing that tiny sword formed from soul power.
In the outside world, Yang Tian Kui’s face turned pale, a flicker of disbelief in his eyes. But before he could process it, Gu Yuan’s fist, radiating scorching blood energy, arrived at his chest.
With no time to change his move, he could only cross his arms, preparing to endure Gu Yuan’s blow head-on.
*Bang!*
A figure was blasted from mid-air, crashing to the ground with a deafening thud.
Gu Yuan relentlessly pursued, mimicking Wu Gui’s style. He condensed countless blood energy on his leg, forming a massive foot that erupted with immense power, like an ancient divine mountain, pressing down directly onto Yang Tian Kui, who had just landed.
*Boom!*
Yang Tian Kui’s true qi circulated rapidly around his body, forming two large hands that grabbed Gu Yuan’s rapidly descending foot. Immense power continuously transmitted from the foot, and Yang Tian Kui’s legs were forced down by this immense force, causing the platform to dent.
*Argh!*
Yang Tian Kui roared, his true qi and strength erupting simultaneously. He forcibly pushed Gu Yuan’s foot away for a moment, and his figure instantly vanished from his spot. Gu Yuan’s blood energy, transformed into a giant foot, slammed heavily onto the ground.
As the platform was made of profound iron, Gu Yuan’s kick of such great power only left a large footprint on the surface, several centimeters deep.
Yang Tian Kui panted heavily, the sudden explosion having been a significant burden for him.
Gu Yuan looked at Yang Tian Kui with a smile, the blood flames on his body continuously swirling, finally coalescing into a bloody long dragon that coiled around Gu Yuan, making him appear like a deity.
Yang Tian Kui’s pupils constricted, and he said in disbelief, "You've actually cultivated Blood Qi Like a Dragon!?"
As a reincarnation of a powerful being, how could he not know about Blood Qi Like a Dragon? It wasn’t worth being surprised by, but considering Gu Yuan’s situation, it was. He had only been cultivating for a few months, how could he have reached Blood Qi Like a Dragon so quickly?
"Heh heh, surprised? There's more that will surprise you!" Gu Yuan gave a mysterious smile. The five divine monarchs within his body instantly unleashed their full power. It could be seen from the outside that different lights were emanating from his body, and these lights slowly formed a five-colored divine wheel behind his head.
His blood energy grew even stronger. The Gu Yuan particles he had been fully developing for the past two days also unleashed their full potential, augmenting Gu Yuan’s physique.
*Boom!*
An immensely vast blood energy shot straight into the sky. At this moment, Gu Yuan stepped into the next realm of Blood Qi Like a Dragon: Blood Qi Like the Sea!
The entire arena, all the way to the formation at the very top, was occupied by Gu Yuan’s blood energy, covering half the sky.
The blood energy continued to condense, forming a blood energy giant five meters tall on Gu Yuan’s body. The giant’s appearance bore eight parts resemblance to Gu Yuan.
"???" Most of the audience had question marks appear in their minds. Was this the blood energy a True Qi realm cultivator should possess? Wasn’t this Gu Yuan specializing in the path of the physical body?
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia also looked at the blood energy giant Gu Yuan had transformed into with some shock. He hadn’t expected Gu Yuan’s physical body to be so powerful; even he wasn’t as strong as Gu Yuan in physique and blood energy.
"Holy crap, Old Gu is too badass. Is this still the same fast guy who played with electricity? He’s clearly invincible in his physical body!" A unique exclamation sounded from the contestant’s area. Qin Er Lang and the other two lowered their heads and covered their faces, indicating they didn’t recognize this scoundrel Wu Gui, calling him a disgrace!
"Good, good, good. I didn’t expect it, Gu Yuan, you’ve been hiding so deeply. You weren’t using your full power last time, were you?" Yang Tian Kui’s voice, which had suddenly become somewhat frenzied, echoed throughout the venue.
Gu Yuan looked at Yang Tian Kui’s completely different expression from his previous calm demeanor and felt a sense of unease.
Countless long swords flew out from Yang Tian Kui’s hands, circling around him and transforming into a sword dragon amidst the sound of metal grinding, letting out a silent roar.
Is this Sword Control Technique? Gu Yuan frowned, could this powerful being be a reincarnation of a sword cultivator?
"Gu Yuan, take this!" Yang Tian Kui beckoned with both hands, and the ferocious sword dragon instantly charged towards Gu Yuan, the sword qi emanating from its body leaving clear sword marks in the air.
Gu Yuan, piloting the blood energy giant, condensed boundless blood energy, forming a ferocious armor on the giant’s body.
Wielding Qiu Shui, magnified and enveloped by both blood energy and the Qian Xiang, crackling with faint electric light, he also charged towards the sword dragon.
*Bang!*
