Peerless Fierce Beast

The appearance of a vacuum in the blue water was extremely strange. Apart from those that were naturally formed, only legendary almighty beings would be able to do this. However, if even a top rank expert like the Xuanzun was unable to accomplish such a feat, then the person who had propped up this space was a sage of legends! Rather than waiting here to die, it would be better to investigate. Right now, Gu Qi could only use very few divine intents, and all he could see was a mile. This space was like nothingness. There was no sky nor earth, only a vast expanse of whiteness beneath his feet. It was difficult to see the actual state of this space.

Gu Qi walked forward step by step as he held the crouching dragon in his hand. At this moment, Gu Qi was unable to use any profound strength, and only the wyvern with spiritual intelligence could barely use it. However, it was as if there was no life here. In the entire space, there was only Gu Qi. There was a sense of familiarity in front of him, as if he was being summoned. Gu Qi stopped in his tracks and felt the familiar aura, but he couldn't recall exactly where he'd encountered such an aura. The red light! Gu Qi abruptly opened his eyes. This was the aura of the red light he saw in the jade water. Although it had a strong attraction, it still couldn't stop the strong smell and disgusting smell. It was like the smell of rotting meat, making Gu Qi feel nervous. The only way to get out was that red light, but he didn't know whether or not Qimeng was also inside the enchantment. As Gu Qi followed the scent, the more he walked forward, the more the disgusting smell became stronger and the stronger the attraction became. Feeling this contradictory aura, Gu Qi could only move forward. The red light that vanished appeared once again, as if guiding the way for Gu Qi. The strong stench of blood caused one to feel nauseous. Even though Gu Qi had killed quite a few people, he was still unable to endure the strong stench that seeped into his bones. Gu Qi shut off his five senses. Although he couldn't feel this disgusting taste, that uncomfortable feeling was like following his body, unable to be rid of.

Gu Qi followed the red light for six hours before he finally saw the true form of the red light. The red dot of light floated in the air, giving people an endless amount of pressure. Even though Gu Qi had shut off his five senses, the smell of rotting flesh and blood continued to seep into Gu Qi's spiritual sense, causing him to feel nauseous. After the red light saw Gu Qi, it actually circled around him three times. That red light floated to the center of Gu Qi's brows and stopped moving. Only then did Gu Qi clearly see what the red light was. It was a drop of blood.

If one were to talk about blood, then Gu Qi's body had undergone dragon blood transformation, and he'd once encountered an entire Dragon Blood Pool within the Chen Clan's Secret Realm. In the legends, the power contained within a dragon's blood was immeasurable. But, even when facing a pool of dragon blood, one wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of this drop of blood. It was clearly only a single drop of blood, yet it seemed to want to swallow him up. The droplets of blood continued to spin, and the red light grew brighter and brighter. Gu Qi felt as if his soul was about to be sucked out of his body, and he arrived in a blood-red world.

Gu Qi looked at the surrounding scenery which was completely different. He was currently within a sea of blood, and his body was continuously sinking downwards, as if he had fallen into a swamp. No matter what Gu Qi did, it couldn't stop his body from sinking further into the ground. Blood overflowed his neck, and his body, from his struggles, splashed out blood onto Gu Qi's face and mouth. The warm touch, the smell of rust, everything seemed so real. Gu Qi gave up struggling and allowed the sea of blood to swallow him up. This was definitely the illusion created by the drop of blood. If he didn't break free from the illusion, then he was afraid that he would be swallowed up by the illusion. Blood flowed over his head and into Gu Qi's nose. It felt like he was drowning. The only difference was that this was blood, not water. Gu Qi forcefully endured the disgusting feeling and adjusted his condition to be empty, allowing the sea of blood to swallow him while his state of mind was clear. As the pressure increased, it became harder to breathe. It was as if they had reached an extremely deep point in the water. Gu Qi opened his eyes and discovered that his surroundings were blood-red. Normally, illusions would have flaws, but this time, Gu Qi couldn't find any. It was as if everything was real. This feeling was like the reflection of the moon in a beautiful dream, causing one to be unable to differentiate between reality and illusion. If he couldn't find a flaw in the illusion world, then he would have to forcefully break the illusion array. But right now, Gu Qi couldn't even use his profound strength, so was he really going to wait for death?

Gu Qi picked up the crouching dragon in his hand and continuously slashed at the surroundings, but it created ripples. Everything was so real, and the pressure that continuously grew stronger pressed on Gu Qi's entire body. His bones were crushed, and blood continuously flowed out from his pores, merging with the pool of blood. As his spiritual sense became more and more blurry, the crouching dragon in his hand could no longer be held tightly. The wyvern slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Gu Qi abruptly opened his eyes and noticed that the sea of blood before him had already disappeared. There wasn't a drop of blood on his body, and everything was just an illusion. The scene in front of his eyes had already changed. Gu Qi was lying on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Broken corpses littered the ground, and a crouching dragon was stabbed into a corpse. Gu Qi pulled out the wyvern. There was still black blood on it, as if a long time had passed. Gu Qi casually flipped over a corpse on the ground. That corpse had died from having its throat cut while it was alive, and a disbelieving expression still hung on its face. Gu Qi examined his condition. The only similarity between these corpses was that they all died with grievances. The expressions on their faces were extremely fierce, causing one's hair to stand on end. The wyvern was hacked into two halves. Those corpses were easily split apart by Gu Qi. No matter how much he destroyed them, all he saw were endless corpses. It was as if he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; could it be that he had arrived in hell?

Gu Qi gave up on splitting the corpses apart. Those corpses only wore the most ordinary of clothes, and they didn't even have a single Profound Weapon. They had no value whatsoever. This was also a part of the illusions. There was one thing in common about all of this, and that was that drop of blood. Everything happened when he saw the thick drop of blood. As long as he found it, he would be able to leave this illusionary world. Gu Qi held the wyvern and closed his eyes. The smell of the blood had already been engraved into Gu Qi's mind. Even the corpse mountain couldn't block that strange smell.

Found it! Gu Qi opened his eyes and followed the smell. Gu Qi completely released his divine sense, fearing that the corpse under his feet would undergo a Corpse Transformation. Once it came back to life, then if that really was the case, then Gu Qi would probably die in this illusion. However, along the way, the corpse was still lying on the ground without anything unusual happening. This was a bit of comfort for Gu Qi, as the smell was getting closer and closer. Gu Qi discovered that the closer they got to the drops of blood, the stranger their corpses became. There were even many corpses of magical beasts among them. Some of them were already extinct magical beasts. Looking at the magical beast corpses, even Gu Qi was moved. He peeled away one of the corpses and discovered that the magic crystal had turned into a pile of ash the moment it touched the air. This was still within an illusion. Everything inside was fake. Even so, Gu Qi couldn't help but lightly sigh. If all of this was true, how great would it be! Gu Qi no longer looked at the corpse on the ground and continued rushing towards the blood drops. The corpses on the ground changed once again. These corpses were the corpses of magical beasts and humans. They were biting each other, as if they were engaging in a great battle. Looking at this scene, Gu Qi thought of the demon beast horde from Blackrock City. If it really was like this, then how many huge demon beast horde would that be? Looking at the endless mountain of corpses, Gu Qi could only tell himself over and over that he was in an illusion to calm his heart. However, if Qi Meng was still by his side, she would definitely tell him that this wasn't an illusion but a real existence. It was just that the way it existed was different.

Along the way, he saw all kinds of corpses. There were human corpses, magical beasts, followers of devils, mighty cultivators with righteous auras, corpses with auras that surpassed Ji He's. The only similarity between them was that there were no Xuan Artifacts on their bodies. There were also many corpses of the beast race experts among them. These bones appeared to be part of the myths and legends. These corpses were different from the ones he had seen when he first arrived, they were still fresh, even the blood was dark red, obviously they had just died, but the corpses behind them were different, all of them were ancient corpses, even though they were all terrifying experts, they couldn't resist the erosion of time, and even the pressure from the corpses was almost completely used up. If he did not become a saint, he would become like these bones and disappear into the river of history. Gu Qi was unwilling to accept this. Coming to this mystical world from the modern society was already a miracle, not to mention the various things he had encountered afterwards, making him feel that no matter what tribulations he suffered, he had to continue. He had to persevere and persevere, even this mountain of corpses and sea of blood was unable to stop Gu Qi's footsteps. When he thought here, his heart became even more determined. That terrifying mountain of corpses also became different in his eyes, and his state of mind seemed to be more open.

Gu Qi paid no more attention to those bizarre corpses and only wholeheartedly rushed towards the blood drop. The strong smell of blood made him feel nauseous, but this was the key to Gu Qi's departure. Gu Qi stopped walking. He felt that the drop of blood was nearby. The corpse on the ground had also changed. It actually gave way to a flat road for people to walk on, rather than stepping on a corpse. Gu Qi squatted down and discovered that the so-called road was still just a corpse. However, those corpses had been disposed of and appeared to be extremely flat.
