Book 07 Chapter 107: Two Beams of Divinity Destroying Light
Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist protected Gu Hai as he sat cross-legged and drove the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment. He immediately became like a black hole frantically pulling in the surging Resentful Energy.
The eyelids of Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist twitched at the horrifying speed.
“The Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivates energy. However, isn’t His Reverence’s rate of consuming it preposterous?” Kong Xuan said in shock.
“It is not just preposterous. This is Resentful Energy. There are many types of energy. Most cultivators cultivate an energy compatible with their bodies or else gentle energy. This Resentful Energy is strangely ferocious and can affect the mind. Most people would not dare touch it,” the Mosquito Daoist said in shock.
Despite the two’s shock, they dutifully remained by Gu Hai’s side, guarding him. They did not even permit Gu Han and Chang Ming to approach.
Rumble…!
The shuddering, eternal Buddhist pagoda slowly stilled. Even when the countless resentful spirits howled, they could no longer shake the eternal Buddhist pagoda without the Resentful Energy’s cooperation.
Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!
After two hours:
Boom!
A loud report came from Gu Hai’s body as his body gave off a shock wave.
After a Shaman Energy core and a Corpse Energy core, a third crimson Resentful Energy core condensed in the heavenly eye.
The Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s fourth layer!
The three energy cores revolved around the heavenly eye’s pupil, emitting strange energies. However, there was still boundless Resentful Energy outside. He had only absorbed just a third of the Resentful Energy at most. How could he waste that Resentful Energy?
Gu Hai tried again, hoping to condense a fourth energy core. After all, others could condense more energy cores using the same type of energy.
After trying several times, Gu Hai began to lose hope. Like with the earlier Corpse Energy, he could not condense a fourth energy core. He could only have one Resentful Energy core.
“Can I only stop here? No!” Gu Hai did not resign himself to the situation, continuing to absorb the Resentful Energy.
Whoosh!
Indeed, when Gu Hai absorbed the surging Resentful Energy, it did not form another Resentful Energy core. Instead, his heavenly eye again felt bloated as energy formed there, like with the Corpse Energy. It felt like the heavenly eye wanted to vent, like with the earlier light.
The Divinity Destroying Light manifested by the Corpse Energy had been very powerful, directly tearing the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s domain. Now, the Resentful Energy also felt like he had to release it.
The heavenly eye felt bloated, but Gu Hai suppressed it to determine how much it could endure.
Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!
The remaining two-thirds of the Resentful Energy outside continued to pour into Gu Hai.
The eternal Buddhist pagoda had already stabilized, no longer affected by the Resentful Energy.
Gu Han appeared shocked. Joy flashed in his eyes as he held his palms together when he saw how incredible his father was.
Two hours…four hours…
Gu Hai finally absorbed the last wisps of the Resentful Energy.
Buzz!
Gu Hai’s body trembled. His heavenly eye could not endure it anymore. However, the earlier light did not spew out. Instead, it strangely formed a thread, a thread-like crimson light revolving around the Resentful Energy core.
It seemed like the light had been refined and could be stored around the Resentful Energy core, ready for him to unleash at any moment. If he wanted, he could immediately fire it with his heavenly eye.
Should I fire it now?
No. This divine light is very powerful. I even managed to break the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s domain and pierce a bowl-sized hole in his chest. How can I waste it?
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon called it the Divinity Destroying Light? Gu Hai felt excited.
The beam of Divinity Destroying Light stuck close to the Resentful Energy core, looking ordinary. Only Gu Hai understood how powerful this beam of Divinity Destroying Light was.
Just as he rejoiced, his hair suddenly stood on end as he sensed the threat of death.
“Oh no!” Gu Hai opened his eyes and instinctively waved his hand.
He immediately drove the Go Dao laws, making many silver rivers appear around him.
Boom!
Space expanded as if it had exploded.
“Corpse worm domain, no!”
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s cry of despair suddenly rang out.
Whoosh!
Surging Corpse Energy instantly covered Gu Hai’s surroundings. In that instant, his ritual array flung the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, who was about to make a sneak attack, far away.
However, the liquid Corpse Energy still flooded the surroundings.
“Absorb!” Gu Hai glared.
Gu Hai drove the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment again, and his heavenly eye absorbed the surging Corpse Energy.
“That was close!” The expressions of Kong Xuan and the others changed.
Gu Hai suddenly stood up and soared into the sky, heading for the distant Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
Gu Hai absorbed all the Corpse Energy that approached him in the blink of an eye.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon felt extremely depressed. I nearly did it! I nearly destroyed Gu Hai!
“How did you find your way out of the ritual array?” Gu Hai asked with a sullen expression.
Gu Hai had thought he had trapped the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. However, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had come here too quickly. How could he not be worried?
“Humph! Gu Hai, do you know you are pitting yourself against my Heavenly Demon Holy Land?!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon did not answer.
Gu Hai coldly eyed the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. After some thought, his expression changed slightly. “We understand now. It’s the Resentful Energy. You followed the flow of Resentful Energy to find me.”
“Humph!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon snorted coldly.
Gu Hai’s eyes turned icy. He now understood it was just a coincidence.
“Didn’t you keep saying we did not give you a chance? Well, we will give you a chance now. Don’t you have your corpse worm domain? How about we fight you without using our heavenly eye?” Gu Hai suggested coldly.
“You said it. Hahaha! You are seeking death!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon guffawed.
Boom!
Surging liquid Corpse Energy rushed towards Gu Hai. However, he circulated the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment at its limits, letting the Corpse Energy pour into his body.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai absorbed the surging Corpse Energy.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon charged at Gu Hai. However, Gu Hai’s figure flashed within the Go Dao ritual array. The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon could not touch him at all.
“I don’t believe that my corpse worm domain cannot beat your Go Dao ritual array!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon snarled.
Even more Corpse Energy poured towards Gu Hai. However, this was just great nourishment for him.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon split into thousands of figures relentlessly chasing Gu Hai. However, he could not even touch the hem of Gu Hai’s clothes, which made him increasingly anxious.
Chase! Chase! Chase!
After chasing for two hours, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had paled somewhat. His expression changed as he turned his head.
“My domain? You are plundering the Corpse Energy in my domain?” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon said in shock and horror.
In just two hours, the Corpse Energy in the corpse worm domain had decreased by more than half.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon immediately put away the corpse worm domain, panting. Apparently, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s energy had taken a significant hit when Gu Hai plundered the Corpse Energy.
Buzz!
Gu Hai’s figure trembled. While he absorbed the boundless Corpse Energy earlier, a beam of Divinity Destroying Light had formed by his Corpse Energy core.
A second beam of Divinity Destroying Light?
“Excellent!” Gu Hai guffawed.
“Gu Hai, you tricked me? You robbed me of my Corpse Energy!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon snarled in rage while glaring.
Gu Hai was in a good mood as he looked at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. With two beams of Divinity Destroying Light, he could hold his own against the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. If he used them well, he could deal the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon a fatal blow.
However, Gu Hai did not do that. Right now, these two beams of Divinity Destroying Light were his greatest trump card. How could he waste them?
“Many thanks, Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, for granting me this. You may return to the ritual array now!” Gu Hai flung out his sleeve.
Boom!
The Go Dao ritual array pulled the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon into the starry outer space, making him vanish.
“No! Gu Hai, you cheater! You cheater! Ah!”
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s furious howl came from the depths of the starry outer space.
However, would Gu Hai bother with him?
Then, Gu Hai looked around.
“The Corpse Mound World is not safe enough. Since that’s the case, I’ll lay a large ritual array for Han`er.” Gu Hai extended his hand and waved it.
Gu Hai drove the Go Dao laws. What looked like purple energy threads appeared and crisscrossed in the air. The stars in the sky suddenly multiplied.
Gu Hai arranged the stars, laying a gigantic ritual array.
Gu Hai continuously perfected the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array, strengthening it. He worked on it for six hours before finally stopping.
Buzz!
The surrounding space seemed gray, hazy, and chaotic, disorienting.
After this, Gu Hai walked over to Gu Han.
“Your Reverence, was that the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon earlier?” the Mosquito Daoist asked worriedly.
“There’s no need to worry. We have trapped him in the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array. He cannot come out anymore,” Gu Hai replied seriously.
“Yes!” Everyone felt shocked.
That was a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. To think he could not resist a Go Dao ritual array!
“Han`er, are you sure you want to purify these billions of resentful spirits?” Gu Hai looked at Gu Han.
“Yes, Father. This child has already made his grand declaration!” Gu Han said solemnly.
“Imperial Emperor Gu, I’ll remain and accompany Gu Han. Many thanks for coming.” Bodhisattva Lian Sheng bowed respectfully.
“Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, you are being too polite. You were doing it for Gu Han. That is helping me. I should be the one thanking you,” Gu Hai said.
“Your Reverence, this official would like to remain with Crown Prince Gu Han,” Qin Zibai requested respectfully.
“Alright. Even if you did not ask, we would ask you to stay. We will let Mo Yike know. There’s no need to worry about your Qin Clan. We guarantee their safety,” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” Qin Zibai nodded.
“Also, remain within three hundred meters of the eternal Buddhist pagoda. I laid a ritual array three hundred meters away, and it is perilous. It would be hard to come out if you entered. Here are three ritual array exiting talismans, which I infused some Go Dao laws into. Crushing one talisman can bring one person out. It can only bring one out, not in.” Gu Hai handed over three jade talismans.
“Yes!” the three answered.
“Also, I covered the entire Corpse Mound World in a Go Dao ritual array. No one can enter; even a lifespan cultivator might get lost if he entered and did not leave immediately. You can relax here,” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!”
“Han`er, Father will not remain here. We still have things to handle in the land of the living. Take care. If anything happens, use the ritual array exiting talisman to leave the Corpse Mound World, then use this zither puppet to contact us. Chang Ming will immediately inform us.” Gu Hai took out a zither puppet and handed it to Gu Han.
“Father, rest assured. This child will be fine here.” Gu Han nodded.
Gu Hai nodded back. Then he stepped into the ritual array with Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, Chang Ming, and the Unborn Man, vanishing from the hazy, gray Corpse Mound World.
“Father, take care!” Gu Han bowed deeply in the direction Gu Hai had taken.
After the bow, Gu Han entered the eternal Buddhist pagoda with Bodhisattva Lian Sheng and Qin Zibai.
“We will start from the first floor of the pagoda and purify the resentful spirits floor by floor!” Gu Han said.
“Yes!” the two answered.
Creak!
The doors closed, and the group started purifying the resentful spirits.
Now, a ritual array covered the entire Corpse Mound World. While others would get lost here, Gu Hai would not. He quickly led his group out of the Corpse Mound World.
