Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 404: The Giant Who Picks the Sun
Gu Xiaoxing stood on the top of the mountain and gently weighed the Suzaku True Essence in his hand.
Although it is small, it is extremely heavy.
The entire Vermillion Bird's true essence is condensed here, carrying an extremely strong and burning aura.
Even more so, if he felt carefully, Gu Xiaoxing could still sense the subtle fluctuations of Suzaku's soul contained in it.
A Vermillion Bird True Essence condenses all of the essence of the Vermillion Bird and is an inestimable treasure!
But looking at it, Gu Xiaoxing hesitated.
This thing cannot be stored in the storage magic treasure. If you carry it with you like this, it will probably be snatched away by people. After all, this is a thing that even the Lord of the Heavenly Realm desires!
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and said, "Only what goes into the stomach is the safest. Find a place to refine it!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxing took a step forward and ran to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away from Daheng Mountain. He then drew a Netherworld barrier with Netherfire in the sky above Hengyang, and then sat cross-legged in it.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to swallow the Vermillion Bird's true essence directly into his body. The energy contained in it was too huge and he was afraid that he couldn't control it.
Just like he had refined the golden dragon baby before, he held it in his palms, activated his soul-devouring ability, and began to absorb the Vermillion Bird's true energy within it.
Suddenly, an indescribably pure energy surged into Gu Xiaoxing's body. The extremely pure power made Gu Xiaoxing excited both physically and mentally. If he could refine and absorb it, his cultivation would definitely be greatly improved!
This is just a trace of Vermillion Bird's true essence. If he were to refine the entire thing, Gu Xiaoxing himself wouldn't know to what extent he could achieve.
A Vermillion Bird Essence is far more valuable than a Golden Swimming Dragon Infant. This is... a treasure that can rival a true dragon infant!
However, just as Gu Xiaoxing was excited, he seemed to hear a mournful cry in a trance.
Then he saw that the Suzaku true essence in his palm was actually flowing along with the suction force of the Soul-Devouring Divine Ability and directly merged into Gu Xiaoxing's body.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and quickly stopped the use of his Soul Devouring Magical Ability. If he directly absorbed the entire Vermillion Bird Essence into his upper dantian, it would probably burn his head off.
This immediately made Gu Xiaoxing feel depressed and angry.
He understood that Suzaku was not completely dead yet, and its residual soul was still in Suzaku's true essence. It wanted to take the opportunity to launch a final counterattack before death and trick him!
How could Gu Xiaoxing let it succeed? He used all his strength to suppress it in the Qingyan Palace in his middle dantian, and then continued to refine it.
But the remaining soul of Suzaku seemed unwilling to give up. Using the remaining soul as a guide, it frantically stirred the terrifying power contained in Suzaku's true essence, as if trying to detonate it.
"I gave you face, didn't I?"
Gu Xiaoxing was furious. If this continued, such a great opportunity would be wasted, and he would have to cause the remaining soul of Suzaku to self-destruct on the spot.
So, he simply waved his hand and took out an object, which was... the Nourishing Spirit Drum!
Then he opened his mouth and sucked the Soul-Nourishing Drum directly into Gu Xiaoxing's mouth. It instantly sank into his middle dantian and floated above the Suzaku Zhenyuan.
The remnant soul of the Vermillion Bird in the Zhenyuan Pearl was stunned for a moment when it saw the small drum, but the next moment, it ignored it and continued to use its wings to stir the violent energy in the pearl, making it even more violent.
"Humph! Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Gu Xiaoxing snorted coldly, and directly used his spiritual power to recite a strange byte in his body. The byte turned into a drumstick and instantly struck the small drum.
Suddenly, a clear drum sound was heard inside Gu Xiaoxing's body.
Not to mention, it sounds pretty good.
However, the drum sounds that Gu Xiaoxing thought were pleasant sounded like a hundred thousand evil ghosts roaring in the mind of the remnant soul of Suzaku.
Gu Xiaoxing did not stop and continued to mutter. In a short period of time, he muttered seven times!
Suddenly, the number of evil spirits in the mind of the remnant soul of Suzaku increased from hundreds of thousands to millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions!
Its wings were no longer able to flutter, and it could only cover its head, screaming miserably and crying.
Until Gu Xiaoxing recited the eighth ancient byte, which was also the first time that Gu Xiaoxing recited the eighth ancient byte.
The drum sounds clearer and more beautiful.
But to the remnant soul of Suzaku, it was as if ten trillion wronged souls and evil ghosts were roaring and howling in its mind at the same time.
So horrifying!
It’s so torturous!
Gu Xiaoxing wanted to try to see if he could recite the ninth ancient word, but he found that a phantom rushed out from the Zhenyuan Pearl, knelt down and prostrated himself in the Qingyan Palace, trembling.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. Is this not possible?
"After all, it is the remnant spirit of an ancient vicious beast. Is this all it can do?"
"How about you hold on a little longer?"
Hearing this voice, the phantom of the Vermillion Bird crawling on the ground was immediately terrified and actually kowtowed.
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless. This was too pathetic.
He felt that he had not had enough fun yet. He thought that the other party was a tough guy. After all, even after death when only a remnant soul was left, he was still willing to fight to the death. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like he would surrender so easily.
The result, that’s it?
One day, when Gu Xiaoxing himself heard the torturous sound of the Yangshen Drum once again, he would understand.
And that day won’t be too far away.
But at this moment, seeing that the other party was kneeling and begging for mercy, Gu Xiaoxing was not cruel enough to continue to torture it.
After all, it's just a little firebird.
Following the principle of adults not remembering the mistakes of little birds, Gu Xiaoxing gathered his mind and appeared in the Qingyan Palace. Looking at the remaining soul of the Vermillion Bird crawling in front of him, he coughed dryly.
"Are you willing to acknowledge me as your Lord and submit to me from now on?"
The remaining soul of Suzaku kept nodding his head, looking pitiful, without the ferocious look he had before.
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless again, thinking to himself, you are the Vermillion Bird, why are you just sitting here like a chick pecking at rice?
He stretched out his hand with some disgust and pointed a finger at the center of the brow of the remnant soul of the Vermillion Bird. Suddenly, a faint light lit up at the same time for the man and the bird in the green smoke palace.
This is Gu Xiaoxing performing a method that is unique to Jiu Ming Mountain to replenish the soul and take away the spirit. Once this method is performed, the two parties will be able to communicate with each other through their thoughts.
However, this method can only be used on residual souls. One can use one's own spiritual thoughts to complete the opponent's residual soul, so that the caster's spiritual thoughts will exist in the opponent's soul, and there will be no betrayal.
Now only the remnant soul of Suzaku is left, which is just right for it.
This method is not difficult to perform. With just one finger from Gu Xiaoxing, the originally broken shadow of Suzaku gradually became complete, and turned from a broken soul into a complete divine soul!
From this moment on, Suzaku's soul will no longer be able to leave Gu Xiaoxing.
Replenish the soul...and also take away the spirit!
But at the moment when Suzaku's soul was completely complete, Gu Xiaoxing's soul was shaken, and he inexplicably saw a series of strange and bizarre pictures.
The first picture is like being above the sky, as if standing in the eternal sun. Below is an endless continent, emitting vitality under the shining of the eternal sun!
The continent was extremely large, and to Gu Xiaoxing it felt that it was even much larger than the Jiu Ming Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of miles of majestic mountains could be seen everywhere, and there was also a blue sea stretching for billions of miles, with countless islands in the sea, and countless strange giant beasts could be seen faintly.
It’s just like a picture of...a wild world of mountains and seas!
The picture flashed, and then the second picture appeared, still from the same perspective.
But this time, the entire continent has lost its previous vitality.
Even the continent was missing a corner, as if it had been shattered by something.
Although it is only a corner of the continent, its size is still indescribable.
If I must describe it, Gu Xiaoxing feels that that tiny corner might be bigger than the entire Jiu Ming Mountain!
Countless terrifying beasts looked towards the missing part. Above the missing part, there was a dragon that Gu Xiaoxing had never seen before!
The dragon was extremely huge, circling in the air, interweaving in a mass, its body length exceeding a hundred thousand miles.
It’s just like a picture of...all beasts paying homage to the dragon!
Soon, the third painting appeared, and this painting made Gu Xiaoxing feel fear.
The perspective changed. I was no longer standing on Hengyang , but was above the continent.
As the view zoomed in, Gu Xiaoxing felt that this continent was endless and unimaginably huge!
But at this moment, the continent collapsed, the mountains and seas cracked, the giant dragon fell, countless strange beasts were separated from their heads and bodies, lying on the shattered continent, and the cracked endless Qinghai turned into a raging sea of blood.
The blood flows...for trillions of miles!
It’s like a picture of...destroyed mountains and seas!
Gu Xiaoxing watched all this quietly, and a sense of tragedy suddenly arose in his heart.
It was not until the fourth picture appeared that Gu Xiaoxing was completely shocked.
That is, a giant!
A giant so big that it’s hard to imagine!
He stood on the Shattered Continent, raised his hand, and grabbed the Hengyang above the nine heavens. At his feet, also on the Shattered Continent, stood a... furnace!
The cauldron has nine legs and is equally huge!
It was the appearance of this furnace that made Gu Xiaoxing deeply shocked!
Gu Xiaoxing had seen that furnace before, or rather, he had seen the same one in his dream!
At the beginning, when he entered the dream of the dead created by Fang Qingqing's dark thoughts, it started from a cauldron held up by a giant.
According to Fang Qingqing, the giant was the corpse of the world's number one true spirit, the Yu Dao True Spirit.
The nine-legged cauldron held by the corpse of Yu Dao Zhen Ling was almost the same in appearance as the cauldron that Gu Xiaoxing saw in the picture at this moment!
It can be said that except for the difference in size, they are exactly the same, both have nine legs and are round tripods!
But the giant is not the same giant!
This scene was extremely strange, just like a picture of... a giant picking the sun!
But the next moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared!
This picture was originally a still picture, but suddenly, the giant moved!
He turned his head and slowly looked at Gu Xiaoxing. His lips moved slightly and he even spoke.
"You came from the True Ancient Immortal Realm and witnessed the destruction of the Primordial Ancient Realm. Where are you... going?"
"No matter where you go, take her away, take them away, to find... the only life that can get out of the dust!"
The next moment, the giant's hand that was about to grab Hengyang suddenly stretched out and grabbed the entire vast Hengyang in his palm!
And then, the last painting.
The perspective seemed to have returned to Hengyang, but in front, there was an extremely huge, dark object like a gun head passing through, and behind it, there was an extremely huge chain!
That is... Daheng Mountain!
