Gu Yuan condensed the blood energy within his body, forming a massive blood energy fist on his right hand, which he directly slammed into the chest of the White Bone Savage Bear.
Roar!
The White Bone Savage Bear, seeing the crimson-gold fist tearing through the air and hurtling towards it, let out a furious roar. The demonic energy radiating from its body coalesced in its mouth, instantly taking shape and forming a pitch-black sphere. It tore through the air, carrying a ferocious aura, and collided with Gu Yuan's erupting blood energy fist.
Gu Yuan's eyes sharpened. His blood energy fist transformed from a fist into a palm. He opened his large hand and caught the pitch-black sphere shot by the White Bone Savage Bear. He squeezed it fiercely, and the air instantly detonated. The pitch-black sphere was directly crushed by the formidable power emanating from Gu Yuan's blood energy fist.
The destructive force of the explosion was also contained by Gu Yuan's blood energy hand.
Gu Yuan smiled as he looked at the White Bone Savage Bear. He extended his blood-red hand, opened his palm, and a clump of black dust gently drifted down, scattering with the wind.
The White Bone Savage Bear's hollow eyes watched Gu Yuan's actions. There was no emotional fluctuation, but upon seeing the almost-smile on Gu Yuan's face, it instantly became enraged.
You, a martial artist in the Body Refining realm, dare to show contempt! What right do you have!
Roar~
The White Bone Savage Bear was utterly furious. As a great demon in the Origin Unification realm, even the Origin Unification realm powerhouses on the human side had never been so disdainful of it. Let alone in the demon lands, where its status was second to none among all demons!!!
The massive white bone body gathered its strength. Upon reaching its limit, the air seemed to solidify as the recoil from its enormous body directly crushed the ground, emitting a violent explosion.
Gu Yuan, seeing the White Bone Savage Bear charge towards him, regained his serious expression. No matter how much it was provoked or its anger stoked, it could not change the gap between them. The difference between the Body Refining realm and the Origin Unification realm was not something that lower realms could bridge.
Jiang Yuyang and the other two were also constantly monitoring Gu Yuan's situation. If Gu Yuan were in danger, they would risk their own injuries to save him and prevent any harm to his foundation in martial arts.
After so many years of interaction, the three of them had come to regard Gu Yuan as their own junior, and they absolutely could not allow him to be injured or his martial arts foundation damaged.
Among the current martial arts prodigies, Gu Yuan held the greatest hope of breaking through to the Celestial Human realm, representing the hope of the entire human race.
As centuries passed, the power of the Celestial Human formation gradually weakened. No matter how much Jiang Yuyang and the other Origin Unification realm martial artists repaired it, it was futile; they could only watch as the Celestial Human formation slowly lost its power.
After a period of research, they reached a conclusion: the power of the formation could be restored to its initial strength with the power of just one Celestial Human realm martial artist.
Therefore, within the Great Gan territory, a fervent movement to cultivate Celestial Humans began.
Jiang Yuyang, Guan Ye, and Cui Hua were themselves products of the Celestial Human plan. As beneficiaries of this plan, they were unwilling to accept not breaking through to the Celestial Human realm, so they also joined the Celestial Human plan, and Gu Yuan was the prodigy they were cultivating together.
No matter what, there could be no losses.
With this thought, the attacks of the three instantly escalated, overwhelming their opponents, three demons who were thrown into disarray. They had no idea why the humans before them had suddenly erupted with such immense power.
On Gu Yuan's side, he was also clashing with the White Bone Savage Bear.
Before the White Bone Savage Bear's mutation, among all mutated beasts, the Savage Bear clan was known for its strength. This White Bone Savage Bear was the king of the Savage Bears, the most powerful innate beast, which was why it had managed to reach the Origin Unification realm.
Its brute strength was even comparable to that of a half-step Celestial Human realm expert from a thousand years ago, without being at a disadvantage. It was impossible for Gu Yuan to defeat it; at present, he could only barely contend with the White Bone Savage Bear, and not being at a disadvantage was purely due to his protagonist's halo.
But in reality, there were not so many protagonist's halos. If you can't win, you can't win, there's nothing more to say. It simply proves one thing: you still need to cultivate.
The moment Gu Yuan came into contact with the White Bone Savage Bear, he was suppressed by the erupting power. The bones and muscles throughout his body creaked and groaned. Each clash of fists, even after being partially offset by his blood energy armor, still caused his internal organs to churn.
Catching a glimpse of Jiang Yuyang and the other two still fighting, he could only endure the pain and unleash the pure, crimson-gold blood energy within him with all his might, radiating a brilliant light like the Great Sun.
He exchanged blow after blow with the White Bone Savage Bear. Although the formidable power cracked his fists, causing crimson-gold blood to splatter and purify the demonic energy on the ground where it landed, he still bore the brunt of the force.
Feeling the unparalleled pressure, Gu Yuan's lips curved upwards. As someone chosen by the Martial Ancestor, Gu Yuan might not have possessed the highest talent from the outset, but the martial path's characteristic of defying heaven and earth was vividly displayed in him.
He never said he couldn't fight; not being able to fight was something discovered only after trying. As someone who cultivated the martial path, one could lack anything else, but they could not lack the courage in their heart to throw a punch at anything!
As a cultivation technique exclusively created for humans by the Primordial Human race, the martial path represented humanity's innate resistance to all forms of suppression.
The most crucial element within it was the martial heart, which fundamentally was the courage to throw a punch, and the belief in forging eternal peace for humanity!
Gu Yuan was temporarily unable to withstand the White Bone Savage Bear's attacks. A portion of the crimson-gold armor enveloping his body was shattered by the White Bone Savage Bear's immensely powerful force.
Bang!
After blocking the White Bone Savage Bear's formidable fist, Gu Yuan retreated, slowly calming the churning within his body. He wiped the blood from his lips and looked at the White Bone Savage Bear, which was exuding demonic energy.
Gu Yuan let out a long roar. The "Extreme Yang Art" within his body circulated rapidly, burning his vital energy. Gu Yuan was never one to ask for help from others.
He would rather burn his own vital energy to gain greater power.
Jiang Yuyang and the other two clearly noticed the commotion on Gu Yuan's side. Seeing the intensely hot blood flames suddenly erupting around Gu Yuan's body, they exclaimed in alarm:
"Gu Yuan, no!!"
"Damn it!!"
"Kid Gu!!"
Gu Yuan's blood energy had surged due to the suppression by the White Bone Savage Bear, making him oblivious to external influences. He had entered a peculiar state.
He could clearly feel the power of heaven and earth flowing, gathering towards the White Bone Savage Bear before him.
Finally, it transformed into pitch-black demonic power.
It converged in the area of the White Bone Savage Bear's abdomen.
Is this the perspective of the Origin Unification realm?
Gu Yuan's heart became enlightened. So this was the Origin Unification realm.
Had he touched upon the verge of breaking into the Origin Unification realm?
