Chapter 133 - 133: The Fall of Gu Pingshan
During the Foundation Establishment stage, they were impervious to cold and heat, but the temperature was unbearably high, as if they were in a furnace. Shen Yijun and Shen Yijun felt dryness in their mouths and their backs were drenched in sweat.
Zhang Chen’s physical body also struggled to endure, with his blood showing signs of boiling.
Soon, the momentum of Gu Pingshan ceased to rise and emitted a feeling similar to a Golden Core but lacking something.
He was lacking a golden core!
After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, one’s magical power would solidify within the body and condense into a golden core.
In Gu Pingshan’s situation, there was only the magical power of the Golden Core stage but no golden core, which was known as the Fake Core stage.
It usually occurred in cultivators who were originally in the Golden Core stage but had their golden core shattered.
Without a golden core, they couldn’t mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, display their divine abilities, and still had a considerable gap compared to a true Golden Core.
In addition to the Blood Ignition Pill, Gu Pingshan had also consumed many medicinal pills that replenished qi and blood and restored magical power, allowing the Fake Core stage to be maintained for a longer period.
Looking at the majestic Gu Pingshan, Ma Quan’s face turned grim. “Shen Yijun, you’re going to get me killed!”
In his view, this was undoubtedly a mortal situation. Zhang Chen was likely to make him and Shen Yijun stay behind to delay while he escaped.
Shen Yijun remained relatively calm. “Fellow Daoist Ma, it’s too early to talk about dying now.”
Ma Quan angrily retorted, “The three of us besieging him can barely force him into a desperate situation. Now that he has consumed pills and reached the Fake Core stage, his strength has at least doubled. Do you still have any means?”
Shen Yijun smiled. “We don’t, but that doesn’t mean the boss doesn’t.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Quan was taken aback. He naturally understood that the boss Shen Yijun referred to was Zhang Chen.
However, Zhang Chen’s displayed strength had already surprised him. Was there still some hidden trump card that could defeat Gu Pingshan at the Fake Core realm?
Feeling the immense magical power within his body, Gu Pingshan smiled sinisterly. “Although my cultivation level will decrease greatly after taking the Blood Ignition Pill, as long as I obtain the source of your blood essence, I can quickly replenish it.”
Zhang Chen said helplessly, “I didn’t want to use it at first, but now it seems that I can only use the Blood Sacrifice Technique.”
Upon seeing Zhang Chen’s continued calm demeanor, Gu Pingshan furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of unease.
“Could he still have some means? What kind of spell is this ‘Blood Sacrifice
Technique’ he mentioned?”
Soon, Gu Pingshan would witness the Blood Sacrifice Technique firsthand.
“Nine Springs of the Netherworld, the root of 10,000 blood, spread the calamity of slaughter, the divine ability of the blood sea, the sole ruler of the underworld, all blood returns to its source. Sacrifice!”
Zhang Chen chanted the incantation, formed hand seals, and unleashed the Blood Sacrifice Technique he had just mastered.
As the incantation concluded, a power resembling the will of the Heavenly Dao descended from the ethereal realm.
Unlike the will of the Heavenly Dao, this will was exceptionally sinister, foul, bloody, and .
This was the will of the Netherworld Blood Sea summoned by the Blood Sacrifice Technique!
When he sensed the will of the blood sea, Zhang Chen had an impulse to draw near and immerse himself in it, as if it were his nurturing mother.
Gu Pingshan also experienced the same sensation, leaving him uncertain and hesitant, not daring to act rashly for a moment.
As the will of the blood sea descended, the 100 Blood God Sons began to expand, their aura rapidly soaring. In just two breaths, they broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
In other words, Zhang Chen had sacrificed a hundred Blood God Sons to the Netherworld Blood Sea!
What did this concept mean? It must be noted that even the vast Blood God Sect had only slightly over one hundred disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage!
“You’re only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. How can the Blood God Sons break through to the Foundation Establishment realm!” Gu Ping Mountain exclaimed in disbelief, astonished by the scene before him.
The Blood Sacrifice Technique was a secret technique only accessible to those in the Golden Core stage, so it was normal for Gu Pingshan to be unaware of it.
Zhang Chen had no interest in explaining either. With a thought, the 100 Foundation Establishment Blood God Sons attacked.
After employing the Blood Sacrifice Technique, the Blood God Sons could only exist for 15 minutes.
He needed to finish off Gu Pingshan within 15 minutes.
Perhaps, he didn’t even need that long.
Even a true Golden Core cultivator would hesitate to claim a complete victory when faced with the siege of 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone 100 fiercely fearless and indomitable Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Heaven and Earth Combined!”
Zhang Chen controlled 50 of the Blood God Sons and unleashed a combined spell.
When executed at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, it could exhibit the attacking power of the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, with the Foundation Establishment cultivators performing it, its strength reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
The other 50 Blood God Sons self-detonated using the Sky Demon Disintegration Technique, their power also reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Facing the overwhelming barrage of attacks, Gu Pingshan fiercely resisted, his body protected by a lava-like blood and Blood Anacondas writhing.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
The intense rumbling was deafening. Just one round of attacks transformed the entire ten-li radius into a scene of devastation, with all living beings annihilated.
Shen Yijun and Ma Quan quickly flew away to avoid being affected.
However, the attacks did not stop.
The second round of attacks from the Blood God Sons immediately followed.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
The scorching blood splattered, and Gu Pingshan’s body suffered numerous injuries, appearing disheveled and his eyes filled with terror, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and confidence.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
After the third round of attacks, Gu Pingshan’s figure disappeared, leaving only a large mass of blood that kept wriggling, attempting to condense into a humanoid form.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
The fourth round of attacks descended, and the large mass of blood dwindled down to a small cluster, with the wriggling and condensing process becoming incredibly slow.
It seemed that one more round of attacks would be enough to completely annihilate Gu Pingshan.
However, the Blood God Sons did not continue their assault.
Zhang Chen approached the cluster of blood and reached out his hand.
Soul Searching Technique!
It was unknown what Gu Pingshan was thinking at this moment. He had come to look for Zhang Chen to use the Soul Searching Technique and uncover Zhang Chen’s secret.
In the end, it was he who had the Soul Searching Technique performed on him.
As the Soul Searching Technique was executed, Gu Pingshan’s memories played in Zhang Chen’s mind like a documentary.
Forced to join the Blood God Sect, he had worked hard in cultivation, endured hardships, successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, became the senior brother of the Alchemy House, and took charge of it…
Gu Pingshan’s life experiences unfolded in minute detail before Zhang Chen.
Through these memories, Zhang Chen gained insights into many secrets of the Blood God Sect.
For example, the Blood God Sect had been destroyed 300 years ago and the current Blood God Sect was a reconstruction.
In the past, there were not just six Golden Core elders, but seven, including one Elder Poison Blood.
After this Elder Poison Blood entered seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he never appeared again, just like the direct disciples who broke through to the Golden Core Stage.
This further solidified Zhang Chen’s speculation that they, the direct disciples, were pigs raised by the Elders, and the Elders themselves were pigs raised by the Sect Master.
In the distance, Shen Yijun and Shen Yijun watched Zhang Chen, who had closed his eyes to receive the memories, with complex expressions, not daring to disturb him.
After a while, Zhang Chen finished viewing the memories and opened his eyes
