The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 609: The Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu!

"Hmph!"

Just as Ling Feng was nearly strangled to death, Great Emperor Tiance flung him aside with force onto the ground. He sneered coldly, "I still need you to create the vessel. Don't think you can die so easily!"

As he spoke, Great Emperor Tiance suddenly waved his hand, and before Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan could react, they were mysteriously transported into a grand and mysterious palace.

In the center of the palace stood a golden dragon throne, upon which sat a skeleton clad in a dragon robe. In front of the throne was a sinister altar, and embedded in that altar was a blood-red long sword.

The sword's blade was marred with countless nicks and chips, yet it seemed to be absorbing something. Streams of blood continuously merged into the sword, as if nurturing it.

This sword must be the very demon sword that Great Emperor Tiance had spoken of.

Beneath the altar, countless skeletons were scattered. Great Emperor Tiance had used a grand reversal array to transform himself into a sword spirit, likely sacrificing human flesh and blood in the process.

Using such an evil method of sacrifice, even if Great Emperor Tiance might have retained some humanity a thousand years ago, he was now nothing more than a complete demon!

Ling Feng clenched his teeth tightly. No matter how he looked at it, the situation appeared hopeless.

What chance of living do I have in the presence of an expert at the Great Emperor level?

Am I gonna die here?

No, absolutely not! I can't die here!

Ling Feng gripped the Eradicator of Realms tightly while cautiously watching Great Emperor Tiance. This guy no longer had a physical body, so his strength must be far weaker than it had been in life!

"What? You think that because I no longer have a body, my power has diminished, and you have a chance of escaping?"

"Hmph!" Ling Feng snorted lightly. Although he really wanted to curse this guy's ancestors, a demon like this, who would even scheme against his own descendants, probably wouldn't care much about ancestral ties.

"You old monster, the Blood of the Emperor flowing in my veins is not something you, a demon, can defile! You think I'll be your breeding tool and create your vessel? Keep dreaming!"

Ling Feng gritted his teeth. "If I refuse, what can you do?"

After Ling Feng said this, he turned to look at Tuoba Yan and urged in a deep voice, "Miss Tuoba, I don't think you'll just let yourself be manipulated like this! If we work together, we might have a sliver of hope!"

Ling Feng's gaze shifted toward the blood-red long sword on the altar. Strictly speaking, this sword was Great Emperor Tiance's true form. If the altar were destroyed, it would surely deal a significant blow to Great Emperor Tiance. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Unfortunately, Tuoba Yan seemed unable to accept this cruel reality. She sat on the ground, her face bleak, her eyes hollow, and completely devoid of any fighting spirit.

Everyone in the Tiance Clan revered Great Emperor Tiance as a hero, worshiping him almost like a god.

But now that she had discovered that this so-called god was actually a demon—and their own ancestor at that—how could she not be devastated?

If anyone else were in her shoes, they would likely suffer a similar blow.

"You think I truly can't do anything to you?"

Great Emperor Tiance smiled wickedly. "For this grand plan, I have schemed for a thousand years. How could I not have accounted for every possibility? I have a rather delightful idea... Heh, heh, heh.

"Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu, go!"

With a strange hand gesture, Great Emperor Tiance sent out two streaks of blood-red light. With a sharp whooshing sound, the two streaks shot toward Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan.

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Great Emperor Tiance to strike so suddenly. The blood-red light moved at such a terrifying speed that there was no way to dodge it!

In an instant, the two streaks of blood-red light, launched from the spiritual thoughts of Great Emperor Tiance, struck Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan and penetrated their bodies.

When the blood-red light entered their bodies, there was no horrific scene of bodies exploding or anything of the sort. Neither of them experienced any abnormalities, as if the two beams were nothing more than ordinary lights with no destructive power.

"Hehe, if it were in the old days, I, the Great Emperor, would have acted decisively. With one swing of my sword, heads would have rolled. There wouldn't be any need for idle chatter with you ignorant juniors."

Great Emperor Tiance sighed lightly, and then let out a sinister laugh. "After a millennium of solitude, one longs for conversation. Sadly, you know nothing of the Great Dao, so we have nothing in common!"

Ling Feng's mouth twitched slightly. This old monster is completely twisted. Who takes pride in becoming a sword-spirit? Utterly shameless!

"You sword-spirit, what were those two beams of blood-red light you just unleashed?"

Ling Feng felt a growing sense of unease in his heart. Clearly, Great Emperor Tiance wouldn't shoot out two beams of light just for fun. There had to be something more to it!

"That light was a gu known as the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu. It is a technique I acquired along with the demon sword all those years ago. Quite an interesting one!

"To be honest, there's no downside to this gu. In fact, those affected by it can even gain some benefits, such as an improved physique and faster cultivation speed. However, from now on, the two of you will be unable to move more than a hundred paces away from each other. Moreover, you must use the yin-yang balancing method daily to calm the gu's agitation. Otherwise, you will suffer excruciating pain as the gu devour your hearts."

Great Emperor Tiance laughed maniacally. "When the pain becomes unbearable, you will lose your minds and become entangled with each other. Soon, I will have the perfect vessel I need! Hahaha..."

"You lunatic!"

Rage filled Ling Feng's eyes. Though he had never heard of the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu, the vastness of the world held countless mysteries. Seeing the triumphant expression on Great Emperor Tiance's face, it was clear that this madman's words were no lie.

"Feel free to mock me with your words for now, but once the gu activates, let's see how long you can endure it!"

Great Emperor Tiance continued to laugh wickedly as he screamed, "I eagerly await the birth of my perfect vessel!"

"You old monster!"

Ling Feng cursed, but suddenly his expression twisted in pain. It felt as if his heart had been savagely bitten as his face turned deathly pale. Turning his head, he saw that Tuoba Yan's face had also gone white. She clutched her chest, overwhelmed with agony.

As if responding to Tuoba Yan's suffering, the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu within Ling Feng began to gnaw at his heart relentlessly, causing him unbearable pain.

"Aaaah!"

Tuoba Yan, whose fighting spirit had already been crushed and soul nearly shattered, had no resistance left against the intense pain caused by the Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu. She instinctively crawled toward Ling Feng and pressed her body up against his, completely driven by the parasites controlling her actions.

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng, overwhelmed by her fragrance as she got closer, bit down hard on his tongue to regain some clarity of mind. He immediately slapped Tuoba Yan hard across the face, shouting, "Snap out of it!"

Smack!

The force of the slap left Tuoba Yan's cheek swollen as her consciousness returned slightly. Realizing she had nearly climbed onto Ling Feng, she hastily backed away, but the intense pain in her heart made it impossible for her to control her body.

"Hahaha! It's happening! The Heart-Devouring Red-Dust Gu is finally activating!"

Great Emperor Tiance laughed like a madman, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Soon, my thousand-year plan will come to fruition! I, the Great Emperor, will finally see the light of day again! Hahaha..."
