Chapter 1744: Rampant and Unruly (4K)
"Hello everyone!"
Gu Yingzhi looked at the figures on the surrounding mountains, bowed, and then his figure turned into a shadow and walked towards the top of the stairs.
"The Formless Ghost Shadow Step is one of the twelve-level core inheritances of the Formless Demon Palace. It is the first martial art that Gu Yingzhi cultivated to the peak." Yu Fangqiu explained on the side.
"The body is scattered but the spirit is not; the shadows are disordered but the mind is aware of them. Walking on the void is like the wind and catkins; a thousand forms return to one broken one."
Xing Shengjie whispered something beside him, and then said:
"It is rumored that this is the general outline of the Formless Ghost Shadow Step. If this technique is practiced to the peak, black spots will appear on the soles of the feet, gradually cracking like ghost claws, which will cause the demonic energy in the body of the Yuan cultivator to surge, and the cultivator needs to swallow it to suppress the backlash."
"Swallowing a cultivator?" Chen Fei's brows moved slightly.
"This was in the past. Ever since we formed an alliance with Yuan Xiu, the disciples of the Wuxiang Demon Palace naturally can no longer do this. I heard that they have used other methods to suppress the demonic energy in their bodies." Yu Fangqiu whispered.
Chen Fei nodded and looked at Gu Yingzhi who was climbing to the top.
Gu Yingzhi passed the first half in a flash. Although the array patterns on the formless stairs were flickering, they did not slow down Gu Yingzhi's speed at all.
However, just after halfway, ripples appeared on the formless stairs, and the power contained in them increased instantly. Gu Yingzhi's figure, which had originally turned into a shadow, suddenly appeared.
"For the disciples of the Formless Demon Palace, this staircase is both a dangerous obstacle and a huge opportunity. Under the skeleton of the staircase lies the essence of the origin that the Formless Demon Palace has deliberately accumulated over the years. The process of climbing the stairs is also a process of cultivation. If you can successfully reach the top and break through to the thirteenth level on the spot, it would not be a strange thing." Xing Shengjie said in a deep voice.
The Wuxiang Demon Palace invited all the forces in the Tianxuan Territory to watch the ceremony, and even wanted to kill Gu Yingzhi in the middle of the process. They wanted to use the Tianshen realm of each force as pressure to temper Gu Yingzhi and make him a true demon.
Once Gu Yingzhi can reach the top under such circumstances and break through to the thirteenth level in the future, he will definitely be able to enter the Xuan List in time.
Chen Fei's eyes turned, and through those skeletons, he seemed to be able to see hundreds of millions of practitioners wailing.
A basic condition for the alliance between cultivators and demons was that past events should be forgiven.
Therefore, there was no request to demolish the Wuxiang Staircase in the Wuxiang Demon Palace. There were many similar things in other Yuanmo forces, and they were all preserved.
On the surface, the cultivators and the demons are fighting against the enemy together, but in private, if they can avoid being caught with evidence, the battle between the cultivators and the demons is still a life-and-death one.
Back in Hanshan Region, if Chai Zhihong had not been sure of keeping Tian Wentao, he would not have done so many things and would have directly wiped out Tian Wentao along with all the practitioners in Hanshan Region.
Because he couldn't kill Tian Wentao, Chai Zhihong was unwilling to accept his experience in Hanshan Region. Finally, after seeing Chen Fei in Tianying City, he chose to vent his anger.
But Chai Zhihong didn't expect that he would be killed by a small god in the end.
After more than ten breaths, Gu Yingzhi had already walked 90% of the formless stairs.
At this position, Gu Yingzhi's speed became slower, but from beginning to end, Gu Yingzhi only used the Formless Ghost Shadow Step and did not perform any other additional skills.
In other words, Gu Yingzhi has not yet truly exerted his full strength.
Moreover, during the constant confrontation with the Formless Stairs and the process of refining the essence of the origin, Gu Yingzhi's momentum actually increased significantly compared to when he was at the bottom of the mountain.
"In the past, when would the gods from various forces take action?" Chen Fei asked curiously.
At this moment, there are only more than 900 steps left for Gu Yingzhi to reach the top and become the demon of the Wuxiang Demon Palace.
Even though endless power was filling the formless stairs at this moment, according to Gu Yingzhi's current state, he would be able to complete these nine hundred stairs in twenty breaths.
"Wait for the Shadow Demon from the Wuxiang Demon Palace to take action." Xing Shengjie said.
"What is a shadow demon?"
"The Shadow Demons are the twelfth-level Yuan cultivators who tried to climb the Formless Stairs in the past but ultimately failed. They are sealed inside the Formless Stairs." Yu Fangqiu pointed to a huge black rock in the distance.
"If you fail to reach the top, will you be sealed in the formless stairs?" Chen Fei was a little surprised.
“He failed to reach the summit, and didn’t even have the strength to leave the Formless Stairs, and was eventually sealed by the Formless Stairs. If the Shadow Demon could kill Gu Yingzhi, then the Shadow Demon could become a new demon.” Yu Fangqiu shook his head.
Being sealed in the formless stairs, it is dark and there may even be other tortures.
In this situation, if there is a chance to escape and obtain the identity of the demon child, one can imagine how crazy the Shadow Demon's attack will be at that time.
The Yuanmo forces train their disciples by raising Gu. Chen Fei now has a new understanding of their model.
At the last ninety-nine steps, Gu Yingzhi stopped and turned to look at the huge rock in front of him.
"After so many years, you are finally here. Do you know how hard it has been for me to wait for you?"
A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and the black boulder turned into mist. A figure slowly walked out of it, looking directly at Gu Yingzhi.
Gu Yingzhi looked at the Shadow Demon calmly, but immediately, Gu Yingzhi's brows couldn't help but frown.
"The Formless Guixu Method? You are actually practicing this inheritance. Did you seal yourself in the Formless Stairs on purpose?" Gu Yingzhi's voice floated around.
"You are so cruel to yourself!" Yu Fangqiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard Gu Yingzhi's words.
"The Wuxiang Guixu Method is another twelfth-level core inheritance of the Wuxiang Demon Palace. It erases all traces of one's own existence, such as other people's memories or book records, in exchange for ultimate power." Xing Shengjie whispered on the side.
"Being sealed into the Wuxiang Ladder will make the disciples of the Wuxiang Demon Palace remember him, but as time goes by, they will gradually forget him, thus promoting the practice of this technique?"
After hearing Xing Shengjie's explanation, Chen Fei immediately understood the Shadow Demon's original plan.
In this dark and gloomy situation, where one might even be torn apart by the residual souls of practitioners within the skeletons, he did this just to practice a tradition.
And the key point is that no one knows when the next demon child of the Wuxiang Demon Palace will be born.
If no new reserve demon reaches the top, they will be sealed in the formless stairs forever, unable to live or die!
"The Wuxiang Guixu Method is too difficult to practice. Fortunately, I succeeded!"
The Shadow Demon raised his head, his face was ordinary. Gu Yingzhi searched his memory, but there was no figure that overlapped with the demon in front of him.
This is naturally not because Gu Yingzhi had never seen this Shadow Demon before, but the Wuxiang Guixu method had erased all traces of this Shadow Demon from Gu Yingzhi's memory the moment the Shadow Demon appeared.
Even in the Wuxiang Demon Palace, very few Yuanmo would practice Wuxiang Guixu Dafa. Because practicing this method to the end might turn them into a will without sorrow or joy in the world.
This price is almost irreversible, so in the Wuxiang Demon Palace, other demons also regard this inheritance as a taboo.
It has been many years since a twelfth-level demon has successfully cultivated this top-level inheritance.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hong Junhao!" The Shadow Demon roared to the sky, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yingzhi, reaching out to grab Gu Yingzhi's head.
Gu Yingzhi's face darkened slightly, and a long spear appeared in his hand, sweeping towards the Shadow Demon's body.
In the less than a breath of time since the Shadow Demon introduced his name, Gu Yingzhi had already forgotten the Shadow Demon's name.
This is the power of the Wuxiang Guixu Method, which is invisible and intangible. Gu Yingzhi didn't even notice any fluctuations in his soul, but he just forgot about it.
Even as the Shadow Demon's face was covered by long hair, Gu Yingzhi could not remember the Shadow Demon's face.
To be on the safe side, when encountering such a strong man, Gu Yingzhi should have retreated and given way, but Gu Yingzhi did not do so.
He is the quasi-demon son of the Wuxiang Demon Palace. Today he wants to reach the top and kill all the gods from the sects who dare to prevent him from reaching the top. Even if it is the Wuxiang Guixu Great Method, what can it do? Gu Yingzhi has not only practiced the Wuxiang Ghost Shadow Step.
"boom!"
The shadow demon Hong Junhao blocked Gu Yingzhi's halberd with ease, and then kicked Gu Yingzhi's body.
Gu Yingzhi wanted to pull the halberd to block the Shadow Demon's attack, but found that the halberd did not move at all. When he was thinking about how to respond, he suddenly became dazed and didn't know where he was.
"boom!"
The shadow demon Hong Junhao kicked Gu Yingzhi's body to pieces, but immediately Gu Yingzhi's body appeared in the distance.
"The Formless Transformation Art? You have practiced well, but unfortunately, you encountered the Formless Return to the Abyss Art."
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the shadow demon Hong Junhao. A ball of inky smoke lingered around his feet and was then forcibly absorbed into Hong Junhao's body.
Gu Yingzhi in the distance groaned, his breath suddenly dropped, and he was actually injured.
"This Wuxiang Guixu method is really as domineering as the rumors say!" Xing Shengjie's expression was filled with horror.
The Formless Void Art that Gu Yingzhi had just performed was also a top-notch inheritance within the Formless Demon Palace, and Gu Yingzhi had already cultivated it to the pinnacle.
When the body of the Formless Void Art is attacked, it will directly become ethereal. Once the opponent is infected by this ethereal power, he will be directly poisoned by the Formless Poison, and his blood, flesh, energy and soul will be crystallized.
But just now, Gu Yingzhi's formless poison was directly refined by the Shadow Demon, which caused Gu Yingzhi to lose his origin and get injured.
Both are top inheritances of the Wuxiang Demon Palace, and the result is obvious.
"cough!"
Gu Yingzhi coughed out a mouthful of blood mist, reached his right hand into it, pinched out a bloody thread, and stretched it tight.
The shadow demon Hong Junhao, who was about to rush towards Gu Yingzhi again, suddenly stiffened and stopped.
"You are truly gifted and talented. You have practiced so many techniques, and even perfected the Formless Tribulation Heart Sutra. But, these are useless to me."
The shadow demon Hong Junhao laughed loudly, ignoring the rigid energy in his body. With a sound like gold and iron shattering, Hong Junhao appeared directly in front of Gu Yingzhi and slapped his head with one palm.
Gu Yingzhi's eyes widened slightly. The Formless Tribulation Heart Sutra feeds on the seven emotions of others. Joy, anger, sorrow, and fear can all be refined into Formless Tribulation Silk. As a result, this shadow demon allowed the energy in his body to collapse.
"clang!"
Gu Yingzhi put his hands in front of him and his body became ethereal, but the shadow demon Hong Junhao's right hand ignored the etherealness and forcibly grabbed Gu Yingzhi's hands and crushed them.
Gu Yingzhi's body couldn't help but tremble, and his face looked a little hideous because of the pain.
Gu Yingzhi would not have reacted much to a broken arm or even a burning of internal organs, and could have remained calm. But the palm strike from Shadow Demon Hong Junhao crushed his soul.
It was precisely because his soul was pinched that Gu Yingzhi's Formless Transformation Technique failed.
When Wu Xiang Gui Xu Da Fa is mastered to the highest level, it can devour all matter and souls. Facing such an opponent, the best way is to keep a distance. But Gu Yingzhi failed to do so.
"An elder warned me that killing is forbidden in the Demon Palace. You really came at a good time, otherwise you would be dead now. However, the death penalty can be spared, but you must also try what it feels like to be sealed by the Formless Ladder!"
Hong Junhao laughed wildly, grabbed Gu Yingzhi's head and threw it away.
On the stairs, the outline of the black boulder reappeared. Gu Yingzhi struggled frantically, but was unable to move at all, and watched himself being trapped under the stairs.
"Hahaha!"
Hong Junhao's arrogant voice spread in all directions, and then he turned around and began to walk towards the top of the formless stairs step by step.
"There are still ten steps to go. Is there no one who wants to stop me?"
When Hong Junhao was ten steps away from the top of the mountain, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the surrounding mountains.
Disciples from several top forces, such as the Tianxuan Sect, looked at Hong Junhao coldly, with no intention of taking action.
No matter which ceremony they were attending, the top few forces would not take action. Winning was natural, but losing would be shameful, so they would just ignore it.
Under normal circumstances, even if disciples from other first-rate forces take action, all sects are at the same level, so it is normal for disciples to win or lose.
"I can't defeat it. This Wuxiang Guixu Dafa forcibly refines everything. I can't drag it into the illusion."
Yu Fangqiu frowned, having already prepared himself for the end, but his opponent turned from Gu Yingzhi to Shadow Demon.
From his point of view, not only is the Wuxiang Guixu method unsolvable, but even the four rules of earth, water, fire and wind are more comprehended by this shadow demon than he is.
If Yu Fangqiu was not mistaken, this shadow demon had already fully comprehended the three rules of earth, fire and wind, and had also comprehended a lot about the rules of water.
After practicing only one technique, he was able to comprehend the four principles of earth, water, fire and wind to such an extent. From this point of view, Gu Yingzhi had no reason to complain about his loss.
The Heavenly God Realm practitioners in the surrounding first-rate forces did not make any rash moves at this moment, as they were all unsure. Even if they were to launch a siege, they could not see any chance of victory.
Gu Yingzhi was already very strong, but this Shadow Demon was much stronger.
Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Xing Shengjie. Xing Shengjie looked at Chen Fei helplessly. He really couldn't beat this kind of opponent.
"A dog that doesn't even dare to howl will be a waste all its life!" Hong Junhao walked towards the top of the mountain step by step with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Zheng!"
A sword sounded, and Chen Fei's figure appeared on the formless stairs, blocking Hong Junhao in front of him.
"Hahaha, you can't stand a few provocations and you're going to die. You're more pitiful than a dog that doesn't bark. At least a dog can survive without barking, but you are destined to die in the future!" Hong Junhao laughed crazily.
