Chapter 1653: Chapter 839: A Being Beyond My Control (2)

It was the fear of the true ruler, imprinted deep within the souls of the Blood Demon Clan!

"Who am I?"

Gu Sheng’s lips curved into a cold arc.

"Go back and ask your main body... Or, ask that ancestor of your Blood Demon Clan who fell long ago... how he died back then."

Before the words had faded, Gu Sheng’s heart stirred slightly!

In the Sea of Consciousness, the boundless Emperor Realm Soul Power erupted fiercely, crushing down mightily!

"No—!!!"

The Blood Ancestor’s Split Soul let out a shriek of utter despair, with no chance to resist, that vague bloody will was instantly ground into the most primitive particles, completely annihilated!

And the Blood Ancestor’s Original Breath it carried also dissipated without a trace!

Outside.

Xiao Beixuan’s ferocious grin and satisfaction had long since frozen, leaving only boundless horror and fear!

He watched as the vague figure of the Blood Ancestor, after using the Soul Worship Technique, not only failed to kill Gu Sheng but instead twisted and fluctuated intensely!

Then, a fragment of consciousness filled with extreme terror, as if from the Nine Nether Abyss, intermittently entered his mind.

"...Emperor...unbeatable...flee...never...call my name..."

Like a bubble burst, the vague bloody figure instantly disintegrated, turning into a mist of blood all over the sky, then completely purified and vanished by an invisible force! As if it had never existed!

"Blood...Blood Ancestor?!"

Xiao Beixuan was completely dumbfounded! The Blood Ancestor’s Split Soul...was actually...destroyed?!

Moreover, the consciousness fragment from the Blood Ancestor was filled with unprecedented fear and warning!

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Xiao Beixuan appeared frenzied, unable to comprehend or accept what was happening before his eyes!

The Blood Ancestor’s Split Soul, his greatest reliance! It was enough to sweep through the Heavenly King Realm! And it simply...ceased to be?!

Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed his rationality!

He no longer cared about any task or hatred! Surviving! He must flee from this monster immediately!

He frantically pulled out a jade talisman from his bosom, covered with cracks and emitting weak spatial fluctuations—it was the remnant of the Ancient Great Shift Talisman, which Bai Yu intended to use to escape, but was shattered by him!

Though damaged, the Space Power it contained was enough for a short-range random teleportation!

"Gu Sheng! You just wait!"

Xiao Beixuan spitefully howled, crushing the jade talisman in his hand without hesitation!

Dazzling silver light instantly enveloped him! Space twisted violently!

"Trying to run?!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes turned cold, stepping forward to intercept!

The silver light flared too swiftly, too suddenly! Xiao Beixuan’s figure became vague and illusory in the silver glow!

Just as the silver light was about to vanish completely, Xiao Beixuan seemed to suffer a severe backlash, spewing out a large mouthful of filthy blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs!

His aura plummeted to an extreme! But he ultimately disappeared from the spot with the silver light!

"What a pity!"

Gu Sheng looked at the place where Xiao Beixuan vanished, frowning slightly.

Though the ancient talisman was broken, it was a life-saving item, forcibly activated at great cost.

The dirty blood Xiao Beixuan spat at the last moment clearly resulted from backlash from the Space Power, injuring his foundation. But in the end, it enabled his escape.

He withdrew his gaze, looking towards the body of "Bai Yu" not far away, lying under a turquoise light screen, mangled and lifeless, with regret in his eyes.

Bai Yu, though he hadn’t interacted much, was someone who valued emotions and justice, willing to take great risks for his sister, yet ended up in such a state...

"Cough, cough...Master Gu..."

A voice, faint to the point of almost being inaudible, suddenly drifted from the chest of that "corpse"!

Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed, instantly locking onto the source of the voice!

Under the shattered lapels of the "corpse," a faint golden light slowly brightened!

Then, from the tear of the lapel, a tiny figure, only as big as a finger, seemingly carved entirely of white jade, its features faintly resembling Bai Yu, crawled out with difficulty!

The tiny figure’s aura was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, but its eyes carried the relief of surviving a calamity and deep exhaustion.

"Bai...Bai Yu?!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes carried a hint of surprise.

"I... I am indeed the one..."

The voice of the little figure, Bai Yu, was as soft as a mosquito’s, with a bitter smile.

"I’ve embarrassed Master Gu... This is the ’Golden Cicada Shell’ technique handed down secretly by the Bai Family... Using Life Essence Blood and part of the Divine Soul as a guide, it forms a substitute body to take on death... The true body then transforms into this ’Jade Cicada’ form...

Though severely injured in Primordial Energy, and cultivation completely lost... as long as a place rich in Spiritual Energy is found for recuperation, after months of quiet cultivation... the physical body can be reconstructed, and cultivation restored..."

As he spoke, he struggled to move slightly in Gu Sheng’s direction, seemingly trying to distance himself from the shattered Light Screen.

Gu Sheng understood. No wonder Bai Yu seemed so "fragile" when facing Xiao Beixuan’s attack earlier; he had used most of his strength to perform this life-preserving secret technique.

This Bai Family secret technique is quite mysterious.

"It’s alright, as long as you’re alive."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, then his gaze swept over the heavily injured and unconscious Xia Fuqu and Bai Zhi in the distance.

"Miss Xia Fuqu is gravely injured, and Miss Bai Zhi is also..."

"Senior Sister Xia..."

Bai Yu looked in the direction of Xia Fuqu, his tone complicated.

"She, being the candidate Holy Daughter of the Wuya Sect... she must have a life-preserving trump card bestowed by the sect... The Jade Pendant shield from earlier is evidence... she should not be in mortal danger... though her injuries... may require time..."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

He had already speculated on Xia Fuqu’s identity earlier. A candidate Holy Daughter, no wonder she could access such a core Secret Realm.

His gaze surveyed the battlefield again, furrowing his brows slightly.

"What about Miss Xiao Mengling? She fell into the Immortal Pool..."

Bai Yu fell silent for a moment at the mention, his small face showing desolation.

"Miss Mengling... she was gravely wounded by Xiao Beixuan... before falling into the Immortal Pool... The energy within that pool is extremely vast... She was seriously injured... I’m afraid..."

He didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear. Given Xiao Mengling’s state at that time, falling into the viscous, heavy, and violently energetic Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid was bound to be disastrous.

Gu Sheng’s gaze dimmed. Xiao Mengling... that silent girl holding a bamboo scroll... the daughter of Xiao Xuanze from Wanling Palace... Is she really...

"Ling’er."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke.

"Here!"

Qin Ling’er who had been quietly by his side promptly responded, looking up at him.

"Go and check the Immortal Pool."

Gu Sheng instructed solemnly.

"Search for Miss Xiao Mengling’s whereabouts. If she’s alive, find her... if not, also bring back her relics."

"Okay!"

Qin Ling’er nodded obediently, her Seven-Colored Gauze Skirt fluttering, her small figure transforming into a stream of light and instantly diving into the misty, yet very much thinned Immortal Pool.

Watching Qin Linger’s disappearing figure, Bai Yu’s small face showed extreme shock and curiosity.

"Gu... Gu Sheng... this... Miss Ling’er... just who is she? Earlier... she could kick away the half-demonic Xiao Beixuan with one strike... and release such strange mist... Is she truly a human from the Human Clan?"

Gu Sheng remained silent for a moment, his gaze deep as he looked towards the direction of the Immortal Pool, where Qin Linger’s figure had already disappeared.

He slowly spoke, his tone carrying inexplicable complexity.

"She is a whole new existence.

One... created by myself, yet beyond my control."

Bai Yu’s small face was filled with shock and curiosity, looking up at Gu Sheng, his voice weak but with strong confusion.

"Gu... Gu Sheng... that Miss Ling’er... just who is she? Earlier... she could kick away the half-demonic Xiao Beixuan with one strike... and release such imprisonment Demonic Qi strange mist... Is she truly a human from the Human Clan?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, his gaze deep as he swept a glance in the direction of the Immortal Pool, where Qin Linger’s figure had long vanished.

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a difficult-to-describe complexity.

"She is my trump card.

One... crafted by my own hands, yet beyond my control."

"Trump card..."

Bai Yu repeated softly, his small body trembling slightly.

He deeply understood the weight of the word "trump card," particularly after witnessing Qin Linger’s astonishing abilities.

He no longer pursued the matter, his eyes filled with reverence and lingering fear.
