Book 07 Chapter 015: Ferocious Demons Underground
“Uncle Flame Monarch! Gu Hai, let me out!” Jingwei roared in grief.
Jingwei’s heart crumbled at seeing the Flame Monarch self-detonating for her. When her father went missing, everyone but the Flame Monarch betrayed her. Only the Flame Monarch stood by her side, becoming her pillar of support.
However, the Flame Monarch died, and she could only watch?
Gu Hai heard Jingwei but did not let her out. It was too dangerous outside.
Coo!
A translucent phoenix spread its wings in the center of the fire.
“The phoenix deity?” The eyes of the distant, severely injured Di s.h.i.+tian lit up.
Whoos.h.!.+
Gu Hai swept his sleeve out, pulling the phoenix deity and its flames into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
“Gu Hai, how dare you?!” Di s.h.i.+tian roared furiously.
The explosion had severely injured nearly everyone.
Of the one hundred-odd experts, more than ten died. The rest were riddled with injuries, even missing limbs.
Di s.h.i.+tian and the Scarlet Emperor spewed a mouthful of blood before stabilizing themselves. The Future Buddha only suffered superficial injuries, apparently not significantly affected.
“The Flame Monarch? Does he think it will all be over after he self-detonates? Humph! Your phoenix descendants on Phoenix Island will repay this debt!” the Scarlet Emperor said ferociously after wiping the blood off his lips.
“Gu Hai, where did Jingwei go?” Di s.h.i.+tian asked coldly.
“Humph! Don’t bother speaking nonsense with him. Capture him!” the Scarlet Emperor shouted.
“Yes!”
The severely injured subordinates immediately charged Gu Hai.
As the Scarlet Emperor spoke, he also charged Gu Hai.
However, Gu Hai drew a bone saber from his chest.
“The Scarlet Emperor? You are the most uncouth of the five imperial lords,” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Seventh Cycle!”
Countless saber qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, then flew at the Scarlet Emperor with Gu Hai’s saber strike.
“Humph! Uncouth? Are you qualified to say that of me?” the Scarlet Emperor snorted coldly. He took out a fiery-red saber and swung it.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and s.p.a.ce trembled as the two manifested sabers clashed. The attacks seemed equal. The surrounding saber qi attacked the subordinates that came rus.h.i.+ng over.
The saber qi only mildly injured those subordinates. However, black energy came out of the bone saber and rushed at those subordinates.
“What is this?” someone exclaimed in alarm.
Countless tiny skulls in the black energy started chewing on their various injuries.
“Oh no! Ah! It entered my body!” someone yelled fearfully.
The black energy consumed the body of the nearest person in mere moments.
“Be careful!”
Being careful was useless. As the black energy gushed over, a law seemed to direct it. No one could escape. The black energy immediately enveloped all those subordinates.
“Quickly run! Quickly run!”
However, they could not escape, could not outrun the black energy. Now, they showed horror on their faces.
“Kill Gu Hai! Kill Gu Hai, and it will be fine! This must be a curse! A shaman race’s curse!” Someone charged Gu Hai in horror.
However, Gu Hai ignored that person and continued to swing his saber at the Scarlet Emperor.
The Scarlet Emperor prepared to face the powerful attack. At this moment, Gu Hai waved, and a crimson light flared. The Life Killer Saber appeared, overwhelming the Scarlet Emperor’s mind with a crimson illusion.
“Ah!”
As the Scarlet Emperor trembled, the bone saber arrived.
“Be careful!” Di s.h.i.+tian snorted coldly as he punched.
Boom!
Di s.h.i.+tian’s punch struck the bone saber, helping the Scarlet Emperor avoid it.
“Treasure, please turn around!”
Whoos.h.!.+
The Immortal Slaying Flying Saber immediately shot out, flying at the Scarlet Emperor’s neck.
“Oh no!” The Future Buddha’s face sank.
Boom!
The Future Buddha threw a palm strike at the Scarlet Emperor, saving the Scarlet Emperor from Gu Hai’s flying saber.
Whoos.h.!.+
When the flying saber returned, the Scarlet Emperor came to his senses and gazed at Gu Hai in horror.
“That’s impossible! When did you become this powerful?” the Scarlet Emperor said in shock.
“I have always been powerful; it is just that my cultivation previously limited me,” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Hah! Limited by your cultivation? You are now in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s first layer? With such a large heavenly soul, you can only remain in the first layer forever, never to break through again!” the Future Buddha said coldly.
“Someone said that when I was in the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm. Someone else also said that when I was in the Middle Heavenly Palace realm. All the same, haven’t I reached the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm?” Gu Hai retorted coldly.
The Future Buddha’s face sank.
“Actually, I am quite curious, Future Buddha. I can tell your cultivation is at the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s fifth or sixth layer, right? You don’t seem to have a higher cultivation than Di s.h.i.+tian. However, why is your status higher than Brahma’s, Vishnu’s, and s.h.i.+va’s? It is one thing if it is determined by how long you’ve been in the Spirit Mountain Holy Land. However, you were only chosen one thousand-odd years ago. So, what is the basis?” Gu Hai asked seriously.
“Humph! How would you know I am weaker than them?” the Future Buddha countered coldly.
“The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation?” Gu Hai suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“You do know quite a lot. Right now, only I can cultivate the World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation in this world,” the Future Buddha said coldly.???????n??ℯ?. ?o?
“The World Cleansing Shut Eyes Meditation? You might not be the only possible pract.i.tioner of it. Furthermore, it is a technique for dying with your opponent. Let’s see if you dare to die with me!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Gu Hai, you just advanced to the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. I don’t believe you are my match. Humph! Die!” The Scarlet Emperor showed a ferocious expression as his figure flashed towards Gu Hai.

The Scarlet Emperor moved extremely quickly, arriving before Gu Hai in the blink of an eye.
“Then let’s give it a try!” Gu Hai snarled, driving all the energy in his body and swinging his Life Ender Saber again.
Boom!
The two sabers clashed.
Bang!
Gu Hai rebounded three hundred meters before stopping. On the other hand, the Scarlet Emperor remained in place. However, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
“What?”
The Scarlet Emperor vomited blood from the impact and looked at Gu Hai in horror.
“Again!” Gu Hai glared as he charged forward.
“Humph!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gu Hai got knocked back once more. However, he suffered no damage while the Scarlet Emperor spewed more blood.
“Why is your physical body so st.u.r.dy?” the Scarlet Emperor said in shock and rage.
The Scarlet Emperor did not know that Gu Hai had used a peak energy to strengthen his body to the peak during his previous battle with the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
Although he was slightly weaker than the Scarlet Emperor, Gu Hai did not suffer any damage from the rebound.
Di s.h.i.+tian and the Future Buddha did not rush to attack. After all, Gu Hai was alone, and the Scarlet Emperor was not at a significant disadvantage. The two just watched coldly.
“What a strong physical body! Humph! It is even stronger than back at the Western Sea Dragon Palace!” Di s.h.i.+tian said with a sullen expression.
“Di s.h.i.+tian, can you deal with him?” the Future Buddha asked sullenly.
“The Scarlet Emperor was severely injured by the Flame Monarch’s self-detonation, but I was not. Gu Hai is indeed a genius, able to bring out a strength that significantly surpa.s.ses his cultivation. He is currently equal to an ordinary fifth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. That is already enough for him to be proud. However, I can destroy him with just one hand,” Di s.h.i.+tian replied coldly.
“Then take action while it is early!” the Future Buddha said with palms held together.
As Gu Hai clashed with Scarlet Emperor, the Scarlet Emperor’s injuries acc.u.mulated. The Scarlet Emperor felt enraged. A newly advanced Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator has pushed me to such an extent? This should not happen! This should not happen!
The Scarlet Emperor wanted to kill Gu Hai, but Gu Hai was already much stronger than before; he could not injure Gu Hai.
Nearby, the tiny skulls in the Life Ender Saber’s black energy consumed the experts in moments, leaving only skeletons that fell into the crushed ice below.
Di s.h.i.+tian’s expression turned increasingly unsightly at this scene.
“Just attack. Di s.h.i.+tian, capture Gu Hai. We still need to find Jingwei,” the Future Buddha called out.
Di s.h.i.+tian nodded, wanting to attack.
As everyone fought, no one discovered a person standing in the clouds. It was Sect Master Heavenly Access, who cut a somewhat sorry figure.
Sect Master Heavenly Access looked sullenly at Gu Hai as he stood there.
“Haha! The Supreme Ascendant Dao’s aura is here. Gu Hai, you cannot escape. Sabotaging me? Excellent! Excellent! How very excellent!” Sect Master Heavenly Access showed a ruthless expression.
Even though Gu Hai had broken into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, it was still insufficient before Sect Master Heavenly Access, as Sect Master Heavenly Access’s cultivation was simply too high.
However, the lifespan in the pool where Gu Hai sat earlier was nearly drained. The pool’s bed cracked continuously, releasing wisps of black energy.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access looked at that black energy, he felt a trace of misgivings, as he found it somewhat familiar. Familiar?
Below, the Scarlet Emperor continued clas.h.i.+ng with Gu Hai despite his severe injuries.
“Scarlet Emperor, you can’t last!” Gu Hai snarled.
“Gu Hai, you are seeking death!” the Scarlet Emperor roared ferociously.
Di s.h.i.+tian did not confront Gu Hai head-on. Instead, he moved behind Gu Hai for a sneak attack.
Di s.h.i.+tian smiled coldly as he threw a punch at Gu Hai’s back, causing powerful shock waves to ripple out in s.p.a.ce. His fist pierced through the ripples, looking like it would severely injure Gu Hai.
Just then, the bottom of the pool suddenly ripped open, and a pitch-black fist shot up.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the pitch-black fist burst through Di s.h.i.+tian’s chest from the back. Black energy immediately filled the surroundings.
“How can this be?!”
The force from Di s.h.i.+tian’s punch scattered as he stared in horror at the fist jutting out of his chest.
“Humph! We hate vile people who attack from behind the most. To think you dare to attack someone we think highly of in front of us?” A cold voice came from the depths of the cracks in the pool’s bed.
Boom!
The cracks grew, spewing surging black energy that immediately dyed the world black.
The black fist that pierced through Di s.h.i.+tian’s chest was very eye-catching, causing everyone’s expression to change.
That was Di s.h.i.+tian! The leader of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s Eight Heavenly Dragon Tribes. Furthermore, he had trained in the eighteen layers of h.e.l.l. His cultivation had already reached an astonis.h.i.+ng level, yet someone had actually punched through him so easily?
“Who is it?” The Future Buddha’s expression changed.
“Lifespan Dongfang?” The Scarlet Emperor’s expression suddenly changed.
The fist jutting out of Di s.h.i.+tian’s chest held a figure with a bloodied, deformed head, struggling within that fist. That captured figure was Lifespan Dongfang.
Lifespan Dongfang had come out of the nether realm and was preparing to sneak-attack Gu Hai. However, the owner of that fist had caught and crushed him.
“It’s him?” The pupils of Sect Master Heavenly Access, who was in the clouds, constricted.
