Chapter 128: Gu Jiangming's Obsession of the Demon

Gu Jiangming discovered that the speed at which he was rushing about could not keep up with the speed at which Liu Moran was falling into darkness.

The most terrifying thing was that Liu Moran gave Gu Jiangming almost no chance for a reunion; her traces came and went without a shadow, and it had only been a few rounds of maneuvering.

The Six Harmonies Society had already suffered a heavy blow.

【The Six Harmonies Society prided itself on being the last hope of the Human Dao, and it also placed the idea of reviving the Human Dao upon the Qilin Divine Blood with its ancestral talent. Qin Wei wanted to use the Qilin Divine Blood to help himself break through the shackles of the Enlightenment Stage, in hopes of ascending to a higher realm to deal with the Nine Provinces, which were overrun by the Demon Race.】

【In fact, the principle of reviving the Human Dao is very simple, and it does not even require the Six Harmonies Society; as long as Gu Nianmo is well protected and allowed to grow in a fully safe environment, given time, with his talent, he will surely become a rising star of Heaven and Earth.】

【However, many people harbor selfish motives; they never consider letting others become heroes, firmly believing that the power belonging to themselves is the true power.】

【Most have concluded that fate is a principle mastered only by oneself.】

【You are vomiting blood.】

【Although, thanks to the effects of "Immortal and Indestructible," which makes it extremely difficult for you to suffer heavy damage and grants you a body close to an immortal one, your physical state is terrible.】

【"Since I have come here, naturally I have my reasons for coming here. Isn't it nonsense for you to ask me to just leave like this?"】

【Even... you are willing to fall into the darkness... just to see them one last time.】

【"I must recover as soon as possible, at least to be able to see them once when I truly die."】

【It is clearly fraught with crises for you to want to break in with a human body, but for the sake of that secret rumor, you still decide to go deep into Beidi.】

【As the Green-Eyed White Tiger's voice fell, pitch-black Spirit Qi fluctuations suddenly erupted from Gu Jiangming's body, "I am already a dead man, so why speak of life and death!"】

【After obtaining the Immortal and Indestructible body, you created a new method of cultivation, and in fact, you have already realized that you are a person who is already dead.】

【In such a fleeting moment, their traces were gone, and you could only learn news of them from the mouths of others.】

【Because Immortal and Indestructible grants you the opportunity to keep acting, its purpose is to see them one last time.】

【And when they saw that it was a human with a weak aura, they were quite surprised; some beasts tried to communicate with you, urging you to leave here, but some of the Demon Race wanted to directly kill this human who had broken into Beidi.】

【Your so-called obsession is just wanting to see them, to see your wife and your son one last time.】

【And after knowing your own obsession, you still chose to go and find them without hesitation, even though you knew that this meeting, after dissolving the obsession, would mean you would die completely, yet you still had no complaints.】

【But now, what else can be done?!】

【"Seeing that it is not easy for you, this white tiger, to have your current cultivation, why don't you leave this place, and I will also show you mercy." You said coldly.】

【"I advise you to leave here and recuperate your body first, otherwise, you won't even be able to keep your seven souls and six spirits."】

【In your remaining consciousness, many, many memories are mixed; in these memories, you recognize the Green-Eyed White Tiger before you, whose future will be to become one of the four great divine beasts of Heaven and Earth, turning into the White Tiger that guards the West.】

【"In consideration of the fact that you did not hurt these fellow Daoists of mine, I am also willing to show you mercy; otherwise, leave your life here."】

【You have developed an Inner Demon.】

【Your consciousness often becomes blurred; in that state, you can barely remember other things and will only act for the sake of your obsession.】

【Relying on the ability of the immortal body and these years of almost morbid, torturous physical cultivation, this was enough to help you successfully defeat the many beasts serving the Qilin Clan before you.】

【"If you keep holding on like this, you are showing signs of your soul flying away and scattering."】

【Since it began because of her, then let it end because of her.】

【Your will fell into disintegration, your actions were only to find your wife and child, and this walking-corpse-like body stubbornly withstood the provocations of these beasts.】

【Four years later, you suddenly received a secret rumor that your wife, Liu Moran, who had been missing for four years, had appeared in Beidi, but this news was not very accurate; however, you had experienced so many years, and regardless of whether the result was true or false, you had to go and see the truth.】

【This forced the Green-Eyed White Tiger, who was under the command of the Qilin Clan, to have to fight you.】

【This is the third year.】

【The obsession of Immortal and Indestructible—you had no reason not to fulfill it, not to mention that this was originally the wish in your heart; you had too, too many words you wanted to say to your wife and your beloved son.】

【When you stepped into this place, in this land of the Demon Race with its strict hierarchy, those beasts under the command of the Qilin Clan each marked out their territory, and upon smelling that aura on you, they immediately rushed to your side.】

【"What nonsense are you talking about? This seat guards this place; not killing you is already mercy."】

【"What..." The Green-Eyed White Tiger showed a slightly stunned expression, "A human who has entered the path of the demon due to obsession—this is truly rare."】

【Thus, holding a skeptical attitude, you decided to go and investigate.】

【The Green-Eyed White Tiger frowned slightly and said: "Your physical body has rotted to such a degree; what exactly is supporting you to come here?"】

【To say the final word of farewell to them.】

【Your obsession is driving your physical body to act, but what is happening now is undoubtedly like a sharp blade stabbing into your heart.】

【You cough lightly.】

【Liu Moran and Gu Nianmo suddenly disappeared completely.】

【You are about to go crazy; your sanity is being devoured bit by bit by your obsession and your Inner Demon.】

【And you followed these pieces of news and once again set foot on the road to find them, but unfortunately, most of these messages were rumors.】

【The handsome and tall Green-Eyed White Tiger, wearing the majestic 'King' character, revealed his Demon Form and spoke with laziness and ease.】

【"Cough, cough, cough—"】

【The current Beidi has become the world of the Qilin Clan; except for those beasts that attached themselves to the Qilin Clan, everyone else has been driven out of Beidi.】

【"Human, this is not a place you should be trespassing in."】

【For the Human Race, entering the path of the demon is a very terrifying thing; once one enters the path of the demon, one will lose their sanity in the short term, recognize no relatives, and even go on a killing spree.】

【No matter what kind of cultivator, once they enter the path of the demon, most will die within five years from their heart meridians shattering, but the Gu Jiangming before them had clearly been on the path of the demon for no short time.】

【"I said, since I am already a dead man, why fear life and death!" Gu Jiangming raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, his bloodshot pupils full of turbidity, "If you don't want to die, then get out of my way."】

【"Hahahaha—this seat has not yet fought a human who has entered the path of the demon." The Green-Eyed White Tiger revealed a rich fighting spirit; for a fierce beast like him, the thing he was most willing to do and liked to do most was to fight with people.】

【Gu Jiangming charged forward; you, who had entered the path of the demon through obsession, brought your Body Refining techniques to the extreme; it is hard to imagine that beneath this rotting body was a body tempered a thousand times over.】

【Over these years, you meticulously polished the cultivation method of "Hundred Refinements Become Immortal," almost making up for all the shortcomings of "Hundred Refinements Become Immortal," and increased its cultivation difficulty with inhuman Body Refining techniques.】

【And you, what you possess is an Immortal and Indestructible body, which just happens to be able to withstand this kind of inhuman grinding.】

【Your fist erupted with a scarlet light, and then this blood-colored light spread, turning into thousands of fist shadows in the blink of an eye, and a sky-covering fierce attack struck toward the Green-Eyed White Tiger's body.】

【The Green-Eyed White Tiger thought this human before him had a weak physique.】

【Believing that the punches thrown by the opponent could not possibly cause his demon body to suffer, he naturally stepped forward to meet the challenge without yielding.】

But in the next instant, the Green-Eyed White Tiger realized its judgment had been wrong, and terribly wrong at that.

Pain spread throughout the White Tiger's entire body, and he roared, "How is your physical body even tougher than us of the Demon Race?"

Yet the Green-Eyed White Tiger did not let up on its own offensive; every claw strike it dealt tore several bloody gashes into Gu Jiangming's body.

However, to the Green-Eyed White Tiger's shock, those wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had never been injured at all.

Compared to the Green-Eyed White Tiger's brief astonishment, Gu Jiangming did not hold back in the slightest from the moment he struck; his obsession did not allow him to show any mercy. Now, he only wanted to fulfill his obsession. Amidst loud laughter, Gu Jiangming lifted a foot and flew into the air, and this kick met the opponent's claws perfectly.

A mass of indistinct white dust exploded between the two, and the immense impact force sent both the man and the tiger flying backward to the left and right.

But while the Green-Eyed White Tiger was still enduring the pain, Gu Jiangming stood up again as if nothing had happened. His entire body was covered in blood, as if he had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

"Let me see just how strong you Demon Race physiques really are, and whether you are as fearless of pain as a dead man."

After flashing away, Gu Jiangming appeared once again above the Green-Eyed White Tiger's head, and like a madman, he straddled the Green-Eyed White Tiger's spine.

Such a humiliating action naturally made the Green-Eyed White Tiger furious, and it shook its spine, wanting to shake Gu Jiangming off its body.

But Gu Jiangming seemed locked onto its body, motionless, and even pulled out a hand to strike the Green-Eyed White Tiger's head repeatedly.

Such a wild fighting style did not even look like that of a Human Race cultivator, and such frenzied hand-to-hand combat did not look like something an ordinary person could do.

What kind of madman is this?!

"Come on?! Didn't you want to kill me?" Gu Jiangming smashed a fist into the Green-Eyed White Tiger's head once more.

"Keep yelling, let me see just how majestic you really are."

"I don't think you've figured out yet who is giving whom a chance to live."

"I have said it three times: I am a dead man, and I have never been afraid of death!"

The ground beneath the Green-Eyed White Tiger was continuously pounded by Gu Jiangming, collapsing deeply downward; a large amount of soil and gravel splashed out. Bearing the immense force, the Green-Eyed White Tiger's head caved in, revealing ghastly bloody holes.

Having seen those who use brute force, the Green-Eyed White Tiger had truly never seen a person use brute force like this.

This terrifying physical strength caused a loud explosion directly in mid-air, and the circles of dust at the Green-Eyed White Tiger's feet scattered due to the force; the dust diffused to the edge of the ground in an instant.

Even the Green-Eyed White Tiger now had thoughts of retreating and letting go; it did not want to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the madman before it.

"Get down." There was even a hint of pleading for mercy in the Green-Eyed White Tiger's tone.

"Isn't it you who wanted my life?" Gu Jiangming let out a roar like a wild beast, "I am right here, come and take my life?"

In your state of Obsessed Demon, you are like a madman, leaving no room for anyone, including yourself. Your hollow brain now only thinks of fighting, fighting, fighting, and tearing apart everything that stands in your way.

"I don't care what your background is. Since you want my life and dare to stop me, then I will let you know what true pain is." Gu Jiangming's eyes were pitch black like ink, carrying a bit of wildness within his arrogance, and he spoke coldly.

Seeing that Gu Jiangming would not listen to soft words at all, the Green-Eyed White Tiger immediately unleashed all its Spirit Qi, attempting a final life-or-death struggle in a full-effort stance.

However, the spell patterns continuously lighting up in front of the Green-Eyed White Tiger did not make Gu Jiangming back down; instead, it made him increasingly excited.

"Can you make me suffer more?"

"You madman!" the Green-Eyed White Tiger shouted in pain, "How can you be of the Human Race?"

"Your physical body is actually more terrifying than that of the Demon Race, even though it looks like it is about to collapse at any moment."

The Green-Eyed White Tiger tried to keep running to dodge the attacks from Gu Jiangming on its body, attempting to respond and even leaving bloody gashes on Gu Jiangming countless times, but such bloody holes were forcefully healed again by Gu Jiangming's powerful self-healing ability.

Gu Jiangming grinned; even when he fell, he stood up again quickly. After going back and forth several times, he suppressed the Green-Eyed White Tiger until it was exhausted.

You stepped on the White Tiger's head, wanting to let it know what a bone-chilling, head-on strike feels like.

Having fallen into the demonic path, you chose to kill this Green-Eyed White Tiger that was blocking your way, letting it die on the path that obstructed your advance.

You influenced the change in the world line, causing the White Tiger, one of the four great divine beasts of the future, to disappear from this place.

"Hahahahahaha—"

"I said, whoever dares to stand in my way must die—"

"Let him die—"

Your demonic intent grew thicker.

As your vision went black and you fell into darkness, in the lingering light before you collapsed, you seemed to see the figure of a person; she... she seems to be the person you have been thinking of day and night.

It is Liu Moran.

She is still alive.

You revealed a smile you had not had in seven years.

Immediately, you fell back into a gray world.

One of your obsessions has been completed, and now, you only want to see your son one last time.

But you... do not need to worry.

Because next, your son will become an impeccable supreme being of the current age, and he will also wash away all this humiliation for you.
