Chapter 263: The Might of the Indestructible Divine Body

Boom!

The Demons besieged Gu Xiu, who was drenched in blood, his expression fierce. His fists, which were supreme and awe-inspiring, suppressed the area. Despite only being at the Second Level of the Divine Transformation Realm, the power of the Imperial Extreme Immortal Scripture and the Imperial Extreme Tyrant Fist made him an overwhelming force, making it difficult for any same-realm cultivator to match him.

"Kill him!!"

"I have already sent the message back to the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary. It won’t be long before a Demon General arrives!"

The Iron Ghost Demon General roared, his towering and muscular body exuding an overwhelming power. Even so, he still felt immense pressure under Gu Xiu’s attacks.

This only fueled his murderous intent.

The Human before him was merely at the Second Level of the Divine Transformation Realm, yet the strength he wielded made even the Iron Ghost Demon General, a Sixth Level Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, feel strained.

If it were a one-on-one battle, the Iron Ghost Demon General knew he wouldn’t stand a chance against Gu Xiu.

This was a prodigy of the Human Race!

Since ancient times, the Demons and the Humans have been irreconcilable enemies.

In the current situation, how could the Iron Ghost Demon General allow a Human prodigy to leave alive?

Moreover, over the past period, many Demons from the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary had fallen at the hands of this Human, causing the entire Heavenly Demon Sanctuary to be enraged.

Even a Dao Palace Realm Demon General who personally intervened was unable to capture Gu Xiu, who managed to escape every time.

The methods of this Human left the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary in a state of panic.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary set up an ambush, surrounding Gu Xiu. Now, they just needed to hold out until the powerful cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary arrived, and then Gu Xiu would have no chance of escape.

The other Demons were also excited, intensifying their attacks.

Gu Xiu’s expression was calm, completely abandoning his own defenses, engaging the Demons in a life-and-death battle.

One by one, the Demons charged at him, leaving numerous wounds on his body, blood flowing profusely. Yet, Gu Xiu’s expression remained unchanged. Every punch he threw took the life of a Demon.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!!

Gu Xiu’s punch shattered a Demon’s head, and then he swept out a leg, sending the headless corpse flying, colliding with other Demons.

In the next moment, Gu Xiu advanced, his blood and qi almost solidified, charging at the Iron Ghost Demon General.

The Iron Ghost Demon General’s expression turned fierce, his clawed hands tearing through space, aiming directly at Gu Xiu’s chest.

Facing this attack, Gu Xiu did not dodge or avoid. He charged straight ahead, allowing the Iron Ghost Demon General’s claws to tear through his chest. This unexpected move left the Iron Ghost Demon General stunned.

"Die!"

Gu Xiu’s expression was ferocious, his terrifying blood and qi forming a domineering figure. With a powerful punch, he shattered the space, striking the Iron Ghost Demon General’s head with immense force.

Seeing this, the Iron Ghost Demon General was terrified. He tried to retreat, but it was too late.

"Madman—"

Boom!!!

Before the Iron Ghost Demon General could finish his words, Gu Xiu’s punch struck his head, the terrifying force shattering his skull and causing his brain to splatter.

Next, Gu Xiu grabbed the Iron Ghost Demon General’s shoulders and tore him apart with a powerful pull, splitting his massive body into two halves.

A blood-stained inner core appeared, and Gu Xiu quickly seized it, storing it in his storage ring. Ignoring his own injuries, he continued to slaughter the other Demons.

Without the Iron Ghost Demon General’s restraint, the other Demons were no match for Gu Xiu.

Especially with his reckless and fearless fighting style, drenched in blood like a demon from hell, it made these Demons tremble with fear.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!!"

"The Iron Ghost Demon General is dead—this Human has gone mad!!!"

"I don’t want to die…"

After Gu Xiu had killed most of the Demons, the remaining Demons finally broke, their eyes filled with terror, and they lost all will to fight.

When the first Demon broke and fled from the battlefield, the others also retreated in disarray.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu took advantage of the situation, killing a dozen more Demons before stopping.

He then extracted the inner cores from all the Demons, not pausing for a moment before leaving the scene.

Half an hour later.

A terrifying aura descended.

A Dao Palace Realm Demon General looked at the battlefield, which resembled a scene from hell, his face as dark as a storm cloud. He grabbed a fleeing Demon and immediately used soul-searching techniques.

After a moment, the Demon’s memories were fully extracted.

"Truly a remarkable prodigy of the Human Race. At a mere Second Level Divine Transformation Realm, he can battle a Sixth Level Divine Transformation Realm Demon General and even break through the encirclement of numerous demons. If this child is not eliminated, he will surely become a great threat to the Demon Realm in the future!"

The Demon General's expression grew increasingly cold.

Such a prodigy must not be allowed to grow.

Otherwise, one day, countless demons would perish at his hands.

After all, in the history of the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary, a genius like Gu Xiu, if not falling in battle, would at least reach the Sage Realm, and might even go further.

Throughout history, every Human Sage in the wars between demons and humans has brought about massive casualties for the Demon Realm.

How could the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary let such a potential Sage live?

Immediately, the Demon General used a communication jade token to relay the news back to the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary. At the same time, he searched the battlefield for all traces left by Gu Xiu to deduce his whereabouts.

As long as Gu Xiu lived, the Demon General's heart could not find peace.

If Gu Xiu were to reach the Dao Palace Realm, then throughout the entire Demon Realm, there would be very few true experts capable of restraining him.

After all, even in the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary, there are few Dao Palace Realm Demon Generals today. As for Demon Lords who can rival the Sage Realm, they are almost non-existent in this End Law Era.

Without the Great Contention Era, it is difficult for Demon Lords to emerge.

---

On the other side, Gu Xiu had already fled for thousands of miles.

Moreover, he used disguise techniques to transform himself to look like a demon, blending into a demon city. He paid some Divine Blood Stones as a fee to rent a temporary residence.

This was not the first time Gu Xiu had done this.

The demons in the Demon Realm are diverse; some are completely different from humans, while others look no different from humans. The only difference is the aura they emit.

The Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm had long taught Gu Xiu how to disguise his aura to blend in with the demons, allowing him to mix into the demon city.

After all, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it often is.

The people of the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary would never expect Gu Xiu to be hiding here.

In the mansion, in a secret room, Gu Xiu had already cleaned himself of bloodstains. The numerous wounds on his body had all vanished, even the final blow from the Iron Ghost Demon General left no trace.

Seeing this, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm couldn't help but marvel, "The Indestructible Divine Body is truly extraordinary. It's no wonder it ranks ninth among the top divine bodies. You have just awakened the Indestructible Divine Body, not even reaching the minor stage, and yet you can achieve this.

One day, when you truly cultivate the Indestructible Divine Body to the major stage, you will surely rival the ancient Great Emperors!"

The extraordinariness of the Indestructible Divine Body was something the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm had witnessed firsthand.

Even with the perspective of a Grand Sage, he was still amazed by the power of the Indestructible Divine Body.

Gu Xiu shook his head, "Cultivating the Indestructible Divine Body is no easy task. Even reaching the minor stage requires numerous divine herbs and heavenly treasures!"

"True, but the Demon Realm is rich in resources, and this is your opportunity," the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm said.

Gu Xiu nodded slightly in agreement.

Since awakening the Indestructible Divine Body, he had received the inheritance from his bloodline, which was the knowledge passed down by previous Indestructible Divine Bodies.

If a new Indestructible Divine Body were to emerge, they would receive the gifts from previous generations.

This included the methods for cultivating the divine body.

Cultivating the divine body is different from cultivating normal cultivation techniques.

The purpose of such cultivation is to unlock the potential within the divine body, allowing it to undergo transformation.

In other words, as long as the resources are sufficient, Gu Xiu could cultivate the Indestructible Divine Body to the major stage right now.

Even though he would still be at the Second Level Divine Transformation Realm, with a fully cultivated Indestructible Divine Body, he could slay Dao Palace Realm experts.

On the contrary, some experts who reached the Grand Sage, Sage King, or even the Quasi-Emperor realm, failed to cultivate their divine bodies to the major stage.

This shows that whether a divine body reaches the major stage has little to do with cultivation realm.

At this moment, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm was also inwardly marveling.

Originally, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm planned to lead Gu Xiu to the Fallen Emperor's Land to obtain the Nine Lives Immortal Grass, which would help him awaken the Indestructible Divine Body when his cultivation was sufficient.

But unexpectedly, Gu Xiu, through life-and-death battles, had unearthed his potential and awakened the Indestructible Divine Body prematurely.

Such an opportunity was something even the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm found astonishing.

It's important to understand that awakening a divine body is no easier than ascending to heaven. Many prodigies, even on the brink of death, have never truly awakened their divine bodies. For someone like Gu Xiu, who can awaken a divine body through life-and-death battles, it is a clear sign of deep blessings and good fortune.

More importantly, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm has personally witnessed Gu Xiu's transformation over the past days. Whether it's his cultivation level or combat experience, Gu Xiu has made tremendous progress.

In Gu Xiu, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm sees the shadow of a young Great Emperor.

"Perhaps my disciple will truly have the potential to reach the Great Emperor realm one day!"

The thought of a young Great Emperor fills the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm with excitement. If he can truly cultivate a Great Emperor, it would be a great honor, and he would be remembered by billions of humans in the Ancient Desolate Realm.

At that time, even if he doesn't reconstruct his physical body, advancing to a higher level wouldn't be impossible.

Therefore, the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm now rarely interferes with Gu Xiu's actions. His role is more about guiding Gu Xiu's cultivation and answering his questions. After all, true prodigies have their own thoughts, and every ancient Great Emperor has emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The path to becoming an emperor is destined to be strewn with corpses. Only by dominating the world and suppressing an entire era can one truly ascend to the imperial throne.

Now, Gu Xiu's battles in the Demon Realm are like retracing the steps of ancient Great Emperors, and perhaps even more perilous. After all, few Great Emperors dared to venture into the Demon Realm alone during their youth.

The Demon Realm is filled with powerful beings. According to the information the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm has gathered, there are many ancient beings sealed away in the Demon Realm. If these beings were to emerge, they could stir the chaotic cosmos.

So, if Gu Xiu can truly carve out a bloody path in the Demon Realm, it will greatly benefit his future growth.

Gu Xiu doesn't pay much attention to the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm's thoughts right now. His mind is entirely focused on cultivation.

The battle with the Iron Ghost Demon General made Gu Xiu realize that his cultivation is still not sufficient. Even with the advantage of the Indestructible Divine Body, fighting a Demon General at the Sixth Level Divine Transformation Realm is extremely challenging.

If the opponent had been a Dao Palace Realm Demon General instead of a Demon General, Gu Xiu suspects he would have perished.

Only by advancing his cultivation can he act more safely in the Demon Realm.

"The Second Level Divine Transformation Realm is far from enough!"

"I need to break through... at the very least, I must reach the Dao Palace Realm!"

"Moreover, only with sufficient cultivation can I have the chance to leave the Demon Realm; otherwise, I might be trapped here for life!"

Gu Xiu's eyes are stern. He does not want to be trapped in the Demon Realm for his entire life.

However, to leave the Demon Realm and return to the Ancient Desolate Realm, there are only two methods: either find an ancient teleportation array, like the Ancient Teleportation Array in the Southern Region, or traverse the Chaotic Void with absolute strength.

The first method is straightforward. According to the information Gu Xiu has gathered, all teleportation arrays related to the Ancient Desolate Realm are controlled by top-tier demon forces.

Among them, the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary possesses such a teleportation array. This is why Gu Xiu has come into conflict with the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary.

Additionally, these pieces of information reveal that the Demon Realm is always prepared to attack the Ancient Desolate Realm, a highly unusual piece of news. If he can return to the Ancient Desolate Realm, he must inform the Divine Martial Dynasty and prepare everyone.

Therefore, to achieve this, he must have sufficient cultivation.

As for the second method, it is even more perilous. The Chaotic Void is unpredictable and filled with ancient and terrifying beings. According to the Grand Sage of the Imperial Realm, even Grand Sage Realm experts risk death if they venture into the Chaotic Void recklessly.

Only ancient Great Emperors can truly traverse the Chaotic Void without fear.

Moreover, the vastness of the Chaotic Void makes finding the Ancient Desolate Realm akin to searching for a needle in the sea.

Considering both methods, the first one seems more reliable to Gu Xiu.

But regardless of the method, cultivation and strength are essential.

With this thought, Gu Xiu begins to consume demon inner cores, quietly enhancing his strength.
