Gu Yuan felt a sudden weight pressing down on his back, clearly an increase in pressure.
If it weren’t for his body being that of a Body Cultivator, by now his back might have buckled under the weight and forced him to the ground.
Even the surrounding Fire Beasts and Firebirds were rushing towards him once again.
Their montum was astonishing, practically overwhelming.
If Gu Yuan couldn’t swiftly repel these Firebirds and Fire Beasts, he might be forced into a desperate fight and eventually be worn down by these beasts ford from True Fla using sheer numbers.
"Hmph! Did you really think this could trap ?"
Gu Yuan snorted coldly, and with a stroke of his hand, a completely black Black Dragon Halberd, glittering with razor-sharp bright white teeth, over a zhang long, appeared in his grip.
The muscles around his body bulged, a series of crackling sounds erupted rapidly from within, and his entire physique visibly expanded at a rapid pace.
In almost the blink of an eye, he transford into a figure over three zhang tall, with bronze-colored muscles bulging and knotted powerfully, veins sprawling across the surface like small snakes.
He resembled a small version of the Giant Spirit God.
A fierce, wild, violent, and domineering aura quickly emanated.
Even the Black Dragon Halberd in Gu Yuan’s hand increased in size accordingly, appearing like an iron pillar with an aura so fierce it could silence a crying child.
Indeed, Gu Yuan was now operating the "Red Fetus Roasting Furnace Scripture" at full capacity.
This advanced Daoist Scripture is profound and mysterious, and at this mont, Gu Yuan’s combat power had certainly reached its peak. He would have faced the Old Demon of Three Corpses without any fear, and could have even overpowered him.
Yet against the Yin God Giant like Fire Shang Ancestor, although not facing his true form, the opponent was still formidable, possessing undoubtedly powerful abilities, which is why he felt such a strong sense of crisis.
Currently, Gu Yuan had no intention of battling Fire Shang Ancestor but decided to flee!
Gu Yuan held the halberd with both hands, dark red blood energy surged above his head like a dragon or serpent, reaching towards the heavens, even shattering the cage ford by True Fla overhead like a long divine pillar connecting heaven and earth!
He stood like a furnace, brewing blazing flas and radiating boundless light and heat.
Then, Gu Yuan raised the Black Dragon Halberd and made a downward vertical strike!
Rumble! Rumble!
The Black Dragon Halberd cut through with a black light, sharp and domineering, charged with unmatched force, slashing everything in front of it.
Even the cage blocking Gu Yuan’s path was split open with a giant gap by the black light, and Gu Yuan transford into a golden-red Escape Light, swiftly darting through the opening.
"Impressive technique!"
Seeing this, Fire Shang Ancestor naturally wouldn’t let it slide. A dazzling light radiated from the light blue Treasure Pearl above his head, then rged into his body.
Instantly, Fire Shang Ancestor released a strong pressure, waves of fluctuations shook the surrounding world into darkness.
Fire Shang Ancestor reached out and pulled, drawing out a black-red flash of fire, which transford into a palm-sized bird in his hand.
Once the bird left Fire Shang Ancestor’s grasp, it rapidly expanded into a giant Fire Peacock, trailing its long tail feathers, leaving traces of burning light, appearing magnificent but filled with great danger.
Moreover, the speed of this giant Fire Peacock was slightly faster than Gu Yuan.
At this point, Gu Yuan felt a faint sense of crisis.
Despite changing directions several tis, he couldn’t shake off this Fire Peacock, and the gap between them was steadily closing.
When the Fire Peacock got close, it suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a blast of fla.
After releasing the fla, the Fire Peacock scattered into sparks and vanished in the air.
The fla shot by the peacock flew towards Gu Yuan, appearing slow but actually moving quickly, landing on him almost in an instant.
This fla was actually a mass of black-red True Fla, its temperature even more frightening than the True Fla within Gu Yuan’s Magical Treasure, the Nine Dragons Furnace.
Even Gu Yuan’s robust physique couldn’t withstand this True Fla, causing his body to ignite rapidly.
Gu Yuan struggled and scread, but within a few breaths, he was reduced to ashes.
"..."
Fire Shang Ancestor, arriving from afar and witnessing the scene, wasn’t pleased, but frowned, sensing sothing amiss.
His Divine Technique left nothing behind after incinerating Gu Yuan, not even the ashes vanished.
This was unusual.
His Black Dragon Halberd, the Flying Sword Magical Artifact, these weren’t easily destroyed items.
Even if wrecked by True Fla, would leave so trace, wouldn’t they?!
Yet now?
Nothing remained, not even a bit of ash.
What does this imply?
It implies Gu Yuan wasn’t actually in his real form; it was a re illusion!
As for his true self, sweeping with Divine Thought revealed nothing.
Fire Shang Ancestor stood in mid-air, his face dark and displeased.
His operation was undoubtedly a failure.
Being a Yin God Giant conniving against a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator but ending in failure—news of this would tarnish his reputation, like being stomped on by Gu Yuan, grinding him into the ground.
"Hmph! Gu Yuan... you may hide for now but can you hide forever? Ultimately, you must return to the Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion. Surely, you can’t stay hidden forever?!"
...
On the other side, Gu Yuan, turning into a barely noticeable Escape Light, stread towards a distant horizon.
"That old bugger really is ruthless..."
As he flew, Gu Yuan muttered.
Indeed, he had employed Body Cultivation Divine Techniques, Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques, and Eternal Spirit Escape Techniques to narrowly avoid disaster.
Looking back, it wasn’t surprising.
These techniques he mastered were all top-grade Divine Techniques, a slight error could an ruin, yet combined, they proved formidable enough to slip from Fire Shang Ancestor’s grasp.
However, the key factor was Fire Shang Ancestor had only sent a clone, not his true form.
A clone, albeit possessing hidden, terrifying techniques.
If it were Fire Shang Ancestor’s true form, escape would’ve been much tougher for Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan didn’t rush towards Beiliang County; suddenly there was an urgent matter.
Yunng Mountain Range is vast, hiding various exotic beasts and relics left by ancient cultivators.
Gu Yuan didn’t aim for exploration, after flying several hours confird no mark lingered, sought a confidential spot to rest.
In a cave, he descended and released the Dragon Loach from the Spirit Beast Bag.
