The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

At this moment, in the distance, within a small city, the streets were littered with corpses. The entire city was eerily silent, with a strong smell of blood permeating the air, as if this tragic scene had just occurred.

A woman in a golden robe, her face veiled, flew into the sky above the city. She looked down at the horrific scene with a slight frown.

"Another city slaughtered?" A clear and ethereal voice echoed from the sky.

Suddenly, she turned her head towards the distance, where a massive golden crow appeared, radiating a dazzling light.

She murmured in surprise and, in an instant, her body transformed into a streak of light. In a flash, she appeared inside the Imperial City of the Black Wind Nation. The city's protective formation outside did nothing to stop her.

By this time, the Imperial City had descended into chaos, with battles raging everywhere. The sound of clashing and fighting filled the air, and countless corpses already covered the ground.

Her gaze landed on one particular figure within the chaotic battle, and she showed a look of interest. With another flash of golden light, she appeared in a nearby tavern.

The war was raging outside, but the tavern had already been abandoned, with no one remaining inside.

She sat by the window, took out a wine jug and a cup from her storage ring, and filled the cup with wine. Then, she looked outside with great interest at the two geniuses locked in combat.

Long Xuan was locked in a close battle with Jun Zaitian, only now understanding just how terrifying the gravity was in the area closest to him.

Engaging in close combat with him meant that one's speed would be greatly reduced, and one's stamina would be drained at an accelerated rate.

Under these circumstances, how much of one's full combat strength could be utilized?

It was only due to Long Xuan's incredibly strong physical body that, although the gravity affected him, it wasn't enough to stop him in his tracks.

Had it been anyone else, they would struggle to even move a finger under such terrifying gravity, and they'd be defeated by Jun Zaitian within just a few moves.

Jun Zaitian clearly understood that the closer someone was to him, the more terrifying the gravity became. Thus, he stayed close to Long Xuan to maximize his gravitational advantage.

Suddenly, the two clashed with heavy fists. Long Xuan's layered internal energy bypassed Jun Zaitian’s external defenses, surging into his body like a massive wave.

Facing such a strange attack, Jun Zaitian’s expression changed. He slammed his right palm heavily against a nearby wall.

The force that had entered his body was diverted away, all of it pouring into the wall, causing the building to explode into rubble with a loud bang. Dust filled the air as the structure collapsed.

Long Xuan was taken aback. After attempting a few more attacks, he realized that each time his power was transferred elsewhere, demolishing one building after another. It appeared that this person had an ability to transfer his opponent's attacks.

"Heh! It’s useless! I have the Transference Gu. I can redirect any attack, whether it's physical or non-physical."

"There is no power in this world that can hurt me. You could say that I’m an immortal, an opponent who can never be attacked, and therefore, undefeatable!"

"This is how I’ve become invincible in the Western Lands. No one of the same level can defeat me!" Jun Zaitian sneered at his opponent.

At this point, Long Xuan truly felt how troublesome it was to fight the number one genius of the 36 Lands.

This was the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered. Of all the enemies he had faced, this one was undoubtedly the strongest. He had never come across such a thorny foe before, and his expression grew serious.

"Is that so? Every ability has its limits. Even your Transference Gu can't move mountains, can it?"

"If a mountain were to fly towards you, could you still transfer it away?"

As Long Xuan finished speaking, all the power within his body—his internal organs, his blood, his muscles, every part of his being—madly surged towards his right fist.

He soared into the air and threw a ferocious punch aimed directly at Jun Zaitian's head.

It should be noted that Long Xuan still had two great Dharma forms empowering him. How powerful was this punch? It carried the force of a thousand tons!

Jun Zaitian crossed his arms to block the blow. At that moment, it felt as though a mountain was crashing down on him, and the overwhelming force surged into his body.

“Pfft!”

Jun Zaitian spat out a mouthful of blood. Under the pressure of this mountain-like force, he fell to one knee. The ground beneath him cracked rapidly, spreading outwards with him at the center, forming a web of fissures.

Seizing the moment, Long Xuan kicked him in the chest with a force of a thousand tons.

Jun Zaitian was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through three buildings before landing in a heap of rubble. Dust billowed up, hiding his form.

The late-stage Spiritual Sea expert with the black beard, who had been watching from a distance, immediately stood up, his face full of disbelief.

"What kind of body refinement technique is this kid cultivating to possess such terrifying strength!"

"Even a Spiritual Sea-level Gu cultivator would struggle to have such immense power. Anyone of the same level facing him is doomed. If they touch him, they die. Jun Zaitian has finally met his match today."

"I thought the weakest of the Western Lands would be the easiest to defeat. I was sure we’d win this last battle, but who would’ve thought that the geniuses here would be the hardest to fight? It looks like Jun Zaitian’s winning streak is about to end," Jun Mochen said with a serious expression, his brows tightly furrowed as he watched the battle.

Inside the tavern, the woman in the golden robe smirked. She took a light sip of wine and murmured, "Interesting! Very interesting!"

From the rubble, Jun Zaitian's furious roar echoed, "You brat! You've made me angry!"

As soon as the words fell, large stones flew out from the dust cloud, and a disheveled figure burst forth, charging towards Long Xuan again.

After shattering all the incoming stones, Long Xuan suddenly felt a powerful repulsive force pushing against him. Under this force, his body was uncontrollably flung backwards, crashing through two walls.

Stomping heavily on the ground, he created a deep pit to stop his momentum.

"Is this... horizontal gravity?" Long Xuan’s heart sank.

After a failed strike, Long Xuan suddenly felt two enormous forces tearing at him. A powerful gravity was pulling at his feet, while a strong anti-gravity force was tugging at his head. These two opposing forces acted on him simultaneously, as if they intended to rip him in half.

However, Long Xuan's body was incredibly durable, and he didn't get torn apart by the clash of gravity and anti-gravity.

He was unharmed, but the rest of the people in the city weren't so lucky.

One must know that the range of the gravity extended as far as the Gravity Eye could see. The further away, the weaker the gravitational pull. But just how far can human vision reach?

Masses of people in the city were ripped apart, with half of their bodies left on the ground and the other half flying into the sky, leaving a mist of blood in the air.

Even buildings were torn in two, with half remaining on the ground and the other half ascending into the sky.

The sky was densely packed with debris, and half the city was practically split in two, resembling a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

With this devastating move, large swaths of the city's population were wiped out, and half of the densely packed 200,000-strong army was massacred by this attack.

Only the people behind him, who were out of his sight, managed to survive.

The remaining survivors were all terrified, their eyes vacant as they stared at this apocalyptic scene, as though they had lost their souls.

Long Dan suddenly felt a hollow around him; all the people who had been surrounding him were now dead. He couldn't help but swallow hard. "Is this monster something humans can even contend with?"

Long Xuan could actually stand toe-to-toe with this monster! Is this his true power?

After another failed strike, the direction of gravity shifted again, turning into a warped gravity. Long Xuan felt forces twisting him from all directions, trying to crush him into a ball.

Under this immense twisting force, Long Xuan's body spun uncontrollably, and he felt his internal organs churning.

Suddenly, he pressed his hands to the ground and leapt into the distance, using Star Stepping technique, and in the blink of an eye, he had fled far away.

The further from the Gravity Eye, the less the gravitational impact. Long Xuan could only try to run further away to reduce the effect of the gravity on him.

"Run? Where are you going to run? I can move too!"

Jun Zaitian charged at him again, and the two engaged in battle once more. Before long, both released their Gu insects, and the two sides' Gu insects began fighting each other.

Jun Zaitian's external Gu consisted of a snake, a toad, a centipede, and a scorpion.

Long Xuan's 'Wine Gu' faced off against his snake, his 'Dragon Gu' against the centipede, and his 'Blade Gu' against the scorpion.

Then, Long Xuan’s 'Disaster Poison Gu' was suddenly awakened by the loud battle and ultimately completed its evolution by devouring the plutonium element.

Once it woke up, Long Xuan immediately hurled it toward the toad.

On both sides, four peak-grade Gu were engaged in one-on-one duels, colliding with each other.

'Little White' could slow down its opponent and speed itself up, making it nearly impossible for the enemy to strike it.

The 'Dragon Gu' could teleport all around, occasionally launching sneak attacks on the centipede. Whenever the centipede was about to hit it, the Dragon Gu would teleport away. How could you hit something that could teleport?

The 'Disaster Poison Gu' and 'Blade Gu' were in a league of their own.

One was of the 100,000 material-grade, the other of the 500,000 material-grade. How could ordinary Gu insects possibly defeat them?

As soon as these two towering forces appeared, they immediately overwhelmed the opposing toad and scorpion. It was only a matter of time before the enemy fell.

Jun Mochen, who had been observing the battle, widened his eyes in disbelief as he watched this unfold.

"Jun Zaitian’s four peak-grade Gu are all falling behind. How is this possible?"

"Where did this Western genius' four peak-grade Gu come from? Why have I never heard of them? Just how much material was used to make them so powerful?"

"Where did this guy even come from? This is bad!"

He was shocked, and suddenly turned his gaze back to where the two were fighting.

Despite the Gu battlefield being unfavorable for Jun Zaitian, in the battlefield of Gu Masters, the two were evenly matched.

Long Xuan was constantly disrupted by gravity from various directions, causing his attacks to frequently miss their mark, leaving him unable to effectively deal with Jun Zaitian.

Finally pushed to the limit, he simply cheated by releasing all his "Clones".

In an instant, five phantom dragons and five phantom golden crows appeared in the sky.

Now there were six golden crows, and the combined heat they emitted caused the temperature on the ground to rise sharply. Under the scorching heat of the six golden crows, the ground became like a giant furnace, hot enough to roast people alive. The people below all showed signs of extreme discomfort, drenched in sweat within moments.

As soon as the five clones appeared, they each unleashed two Dharma Forms, and at this moment, the physical strength of each clone was identical to that of the main body.

Each clone’s full-force punch was something that 'Transference Gu' couldn’t defend against.

Jun Zaitian was already struggling to deal with just one Long Xuan, let alone five at the same time!

He barely dodged one attack, and then had to block the punches of two more clones with his left and right hands. Unable to defend himself, two feet slammed into him heavily.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing through countless buildings.

The five clones clenched their fists and grinned cruelly before charging forward again. Within a few moves, Jun Zaitian was once again sent flying, smashing through even more buildings.

“This is bad!” Jun Mochen’s expression changed when he saw Jun Zaitian struggling against not just one, but five clones with strength equal to the original. The six of them ganged up on Jun Zaitian, relentlessly beating him down.

Inside the roofless tavern, the woman in a golden robe looked up at the six golden crows in the sky, her smile growing wider.
