Chapter 290: Chapter 289: Divine Soul Transformation!

Therefore, the Old Demon of Three Corpses dared to be sure that Gu Yuan certainly had some kind of secret.

“Boy, how did you refine this Celestial King Divine Pill so quickly?”

The Old Demon of Three Corpses’ eyes were bright, as if they could see straight into one’s heart.

However, Gu Yuan just sneered, “Old man, are you senile? Why should I tell you about such a thing?”

As he spoke, the golden divine light in his eyes gradually dimmed and gathered back, returning to its original appearance.

The reason Gu Yuan could refine the Celestial King Divine Pill so quickly was naturally because of his Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques.

This top-grade divine technique had many mysteries, not only could it be used for attack and defense, but it also had many other wonderful uses.

For example, the medicinal power of this Celestial King Divine Pill was vast and immense, and logically, it was a Spirit Pill only those in the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm could consume.

Ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators or even Celestial Human Realm Cultivators would find it difficult to digest if they took one pill.

Because the nature of this Spirit Pill was too high, just like ordinary people can eat meat, rice, and vegetables, but they cannot gnaw on Spirit Stones directly, as they cannot digest the benefits within.

Even if a few cultivators could digest this Celestial King Divine Pill, it would take quite a long time, estimated to be a few months to even half a year.

However, Gu Yuan’s Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques originated from the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python, which was the innate divine technique of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python.

This divine technique could make Gu Yuan’s refining ability comparable to a Yin God Giant, or even stronger.

Therefore, he was able to quickly digest the benefits within in such a short period and directly refine this Spirit Pill.

It must be said that this Celestial King Divine Pill was not simple to begin with; after being nurtured within an Alchemy Furnace for countless years, its medicinal power became more gentle yet increasingly robust.

Thus, Gu Yuan also reaped enormous benefits!

At this moment, in Gu Yuan’s sea of consciousness, a small human figure about an inch high sat cross-legged, eyes closed, presenting a meditating posture.

And this little figure was a smaller version of Gu Yuan, and although its body appeared a bit translucent, it also had a somewhat substantive feel.

The little man’s expression was solemn and calm, sitting cross-legged, emanating an aura of dignity and majesty.

If any somewhat knowledgeable cultivator saw this scene, they would be utterly astonished.

Indeed, this little man was naturally Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul, or his soul.

However, the Divine Soul itself belongs to the category of the formless and intangible.

When ordinary people die, their souls mostly dissipate directly, vanishing into the world, with only a few able to linger for a short time.

Very few might become ghostly beings due to various reasons.

Even ghostly beings are essentially formless and intangible, merely a cluster of thoughts and yin energy.

Only cultivators, having transformed the essence of life, will see some changes in their Divine Soul.

The Divine Soul of a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator is like a wisp of blue smoke, becoming somewhat tangible.

The Divine Soul of a Golden Core Great Cultivator is more solid, initially able to be refined into a human shape, but essentially still just a wisp of blue smoke.

A cluster of True Flame or even a Magic spell can easily severely damage or even destroy it.

Only by using divine techniques as a shell can the Divine Soul be refined into something tangible, able to detach from the physical body, reincarnate, or even soar through the heavens and earth.

Due to refining the Celestial King Divine Pill, Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul had already acquired a hint of the essence of a Yin Spirit.

And it appeared quite feeble.

But strictly speaking, Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul now surpassed even those Golden Core Great Cultivators!

This transformation allowed Gu Yuan to advance almost unobstructed before reaching the Yin Spirit Realm, with few bottlenecks or obstacles.

And the benefits Gu Yuan gained were not just these.

At the very least, Gu Yuan could feel his thoughts and understanding had reached a certain advancement.

Even in swordsmanship and other divine techniques, he had more insights.

Though his whole being did not undergo a complete transformation, it was close.

In the previous exchange with the Old Demon of Three Corpses, although he had the upper hand, that sword was not something he could execute at will.

It wasn’t just the depletion of True Qi Cultivation but more of the consumption of the Spirit.

But now, with the stunning transformation of Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul, he was able to perform even more exquisite swordsmanship.

In other words, after refining the Celestial King Divine Pill, the transformation of Gu Yuan’s Divine Soul drastically changed his combat power as well!

Facing Gu Yuan’s retort, the Old Demon of Three Corpses’ expression clearly darkened, harboring more hatred for Gu Yuan.

No one had ever dared to speak to him that way before.

Yet he had no intention to continue fighting with Gu Yuan.

Because Gu Yuan posed a greater threat to him at this time.

“Fine! Boy, one day, I’ll make you understand some words are not to be spoken carelessly, or it will bring you trouble!”

The Old Demon of Three Corpses hissed sinisterly, his words carrying an obvious threat.

“You don’t want to let me go? I don’t want to let you go either!”

Gu Yuan sneered, and the Silver Flood Dragon Sword around him transformed into a stream of waterlight, striking directly at the White Bone Mighty Demon instead of the Old Demon of Three Corpses.

Because Gu Yuan knew the Old Demon of Three Corpses was not easy to deal with, but this White Bone Mighty Demon was his trump card or helper.

Of course, it’s best to weaken it while there was a chance.

This sword of Gu Yuan’s didn’t seem mighty at first, not as imposing and domineering as the previous one.

Yet it was this simple sword that sent a mysterious sense of crisis to the Old Demon of Three Corpses.

Phhht—

Although the White Bone Mighty Demon was formidable, its power and cultivation comparable to a Golden Core Great Cultivator, it wasn’t the lifebound demon of the Old Demon of Three Corpses, but a trophy from the past.

Thus, he didn’t spend much effort in refining it.

More critically, it was intentional on the part of the Old Demon of Three Corpses.

The White Bone Mighty Demon was split in half by Gu Yuan’s sword, even the cluster of ghostly fire within its skull dispersed into tiny points of starlight.

Even though the White Bone Mighty Demon’s bones were as hard as ordinary top-grade magical artifacts, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, empowered by Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship, was so sharp that nothing could withstand it, and the White Bone Mighty Demon was naturally helpless.

But just at this time, a wisp of gray mist shot silently towards the center of Gu Yuan’s eyebrows.

This wisp of light was barely noticeable, dim and dull, yet made Gu Yuan’s spine tingle, his brow tighten, and waves of crisis surged into his heart like a tide.

Danger!

Extreme danger!

Clearly, the Old Demon of Three Corpses anticipated Gu Yuan’s sword strike and seized the fleeting flaw in Gu Yuan’s defense to strike.

This wispy gray light effortlessly pierced through Gu Yuan’s Protective True Qi, even penetrating the dual layers of defense laid by Gu Yuan’s Purple Sky Divine Thunder and Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques.

Its sharpness surpassed even that of Gu Yuan’s Flying Sword!
