Chapter 1247 A powerful demon breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm!
"Damn it, what's going on? These demons were almost back, why are they suddenly going berserk like this?"
"What's wrong with them? Have they been upset by something?"
"Stop focusing on training! Divine Soldiers, all of you, deploy and guard the city gates!"
"High-level...high-level demonic beasts have appeared! How did they manage to break in? We're doomed!"
"Damn it, why is this monstrous demon so strong!"
"..."
Almost the instant Gu Xiu was branded with the immortal mark, the four soldiers stationed at the city gates of Wuwei City immediately noticed something was wrong.
The monstrous demon has become stronger and more insane.
When the evil demons attacked the city, although they were still fearless, there was a limit. With the help of the Holy Light to weaken them, the city gates were guarded, and the city was well prepared for battle, they not only did not pose a threat, but also gave Wuwei City a rare opportunity to train its troops.
But no one expected it.
The situation, which had been stabilized, suddenly spiraled out of control again without warning.
More monstrous demons emerged from the gray fog, as if demons from thousands of miles away near Wuwei City had arrived. They became even more frenzied and savage, and even as they fell one after another, they still could not stop the demons behind them.
Overwhelming.
This has once again put immense pressure on Wuwei City.
If the situation was already bad enough, the appearance of the high-level evil demons later on truly poured cold water on everyone in the city.
Just as divine beings progress from the first rank to the ninth rank of sainthood, demonic creatures, as powerful enemies who have fought against the human race for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, also have varying strengths. And like divine beings, demonic creatures are also divided into ranks from the first to the ninth.
but.
For people who live in the city their whole lives, it is very rare to see demons of the fifth rank or above, because the more powerful the demon, the more complete its intelligence and the more it knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
These high-ranking demonic creatures are extremely cunning and rarely enter human cities shrouded in holy light, because they know this.
Once you step inside, you may die.
and so.
High-level demonic creatures, unless supported by the Holy Light, would typically remain hidden within the gray mist, ambushing powerful individuals. But this time, without any warning, high-level demonic creatures began appearing outside the city, launching a fierce attack on Wuwei City.
Fifth-order units were everywhere, and sixth-order units were not uncommon either.
The appearance of these powerful demons immediately put immense pressure on the city's garrison.
Worse.
Even seventh-tier evil demons have begun to appear.
It should be noted that the evil demons are like the darlings of the Three Realms Sea of Sin, not only possessing terrifying strength but also reaching the seventh rank.
It can fly!
There weren't many seventh-tier demons this time, only five. After they appeared, they immediately flew over the city walls of Wuwei City and passed directly through the defense line into the city.
The resulting panic is unimaginable.
Fortunately, these high-level demonic creatures didn't seem interested in eating ordinary people. They had a clear objective and immediately headed towards the location of Gu Xiu at the Mo Family Temple after entering the city.
"The divine generals are going into battle!"
Duke Wuwei acted decisively and roared angrily.
Seven figures swiftly attacked from within the city. They were all seventh-tier experts from Wuwei City, mostly from the Path of the God of War. They had not participated in the battle before, but were mainly there to hold the line.
But now.
Faced with this situation, they had to get involved themselves.
However, these seven seventh-tier experts did not intercept the five seventh-tier demonic creatures, but instead helped guard the city gate. As for the five seventh-tier demonic creatures that flew over the city gate, they were all stopped by the City Lord of Wuwei.
This was actually a last resort.
Because the number of high-level experts in Wuwei City is really scarce, especially after the betrayal of General Zhongyong, there are only seven seventh-level experts left, and only General Zhongyong is left at the eighth level.
While humans may not achieve absolute dominance in battles against demons of the same rank, there are still risks involved. In particular, when facing certain special demons of the same rank, it is often only when three powerful humans work together that the demon can be killed without any losses.
However, fighting alone carries the risk of injury or death at any time.
Wuwei City is now in a precarious situation.
Fortunately, Duke Wuwei was indeed powerful. Even when facing five enemies at once, he still swept away all the invading enemies with overwhelming force.
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, five seventh-tier demonic creatures died under the halberd of the Wuwei City Lord.
but……
This victory, however, did not lower the guard of the Wuwei City Lord; he remained fixed on the distant gray mist.
"Gu Xiu, I don't know if you can hear me, but you probably need to hurry."
"Otherwise, if it goes on for too long..."
"I'm afraid I don't have the energy to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu instantly understood.
really.
Just as Wuwei Gong finished speaking, eight more seventh-tier evil demons appeared, indicating that evil demons from further away had arrived.
It's currently only a seventh-tier evil demon.
Who knows when, an eighth-order, or even a ninth-order demon comparable to a saint, might appear.
He dared not be distracted any longer and could only begin cultivating even faster.
The number of top-grade spirit stones in front of him decreased sharply again, and the source energy in the world was being rapidly drawn out by Gu Xiu. There was no other way; the opportunity to enter the Dao was too rare, and he had to take advantage of the fact that Duke Wuwei could still persevere to cultivate as much as possible, because every extra hour of cultivation here was equivalent to half a month of normal cultivation.
Gu Xiu was now completely caught in a life-or-death race.
Fortunately, the Great Dao Immortal Book was indeed powerful. As the surrounding resources were frantically extracted, Gu Xiu's cultivation officially entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. After persisting for a while, he successfully entered the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm.
This is the end.
Gu Xiu's cultivation has been completely restored.
Just then, a roar suddenly came, and Gu Xiu noticed that from the thick gray fog, a terrifying figure with deer antlers, half human and half beast, and eight arms rushed out.
That's an eighth-tier evil demon!
An invincible being comparable to a half-saint in the divine path!
Seeing that such a powerful figure had already been attracted, Gu Xiu immediately wanted to interrupt his cultivation, but Duke Wuwei seemed to have noticed Gu Xiu's thoughts and immediately spoke up:
"I can still hold on, you seize the opportunity!"
He was not a spiritual cultivator, and his understanding of the Dao was limited to things like Shattered Stars. He knew very well that for Gu Xiu, every extra breath he could hold on was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So he decided to hold on a little longer.
He wasn't lying; that eighth-tier demon was indeed powerful, with an invincible physical body. In particular, its eight arms, combined with its ability to fly, made it virtually invincible to any divine being.
But even so.
Duke Wuwei continued to employ the military and divine arts of warfare to the fullest extent. As soon as the two sides made contact, Duke Wuwei instantly suppressed his opponent and even directly severed the three hands of the evil demon.
A series of booming sounds echoed continuously, and large amounts of blood were continuously spilled.
There were evil demons and Duke Wuwei.
Even with bloodshed and injuries, Duke Wuwei still held the upper hand.
"Thank you."
Seeing this, Gu Xiu thought to himself, then dared not be distracted and began to focus wholeheartedly on breaking through his cultivation level.
This time.
He plans to break through to the Void Refinement stage in one fell swoop!
He had already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, but had never formally attempted to break through to the Void Refinement realm. However, this time, after the dissipation of his cultivation and the completion of his retraining, Gu Xiu planned to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Dao to formally launch an attack on this powerful realm!
The transition from Nascent Soul to Void Refinement is actually not that complicated.
What a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage needs to do is to use the power of their divine soul to connect the seven soul lamps lit at the Nascent Soul stage, shatter them one by one, and then merge the seven soul lamps into one, transforming them into a single primordial soul fire.
Then, using this unique primordial soul fire as a pen, and combining the power of the Dao Platform, the power of the Golden Core Divine Pattern, and the power of the Five Divine Palaces of the Nascent Soul as ink, he wrote his own Dao, stirring the heavens and earth.
Once one's own path is recognized by heaven and earth, one will enter a completely new realm.
Refining the void!
Furthermore, it is a realm of refining emptiness that has gained the approval of heaven and earth and aligns with one's own understanding of the Great Dao.
but……
This process may seem simple, but in reality it is extremely dangerous and difficult. A slight mistake could lead to the end of one's path and no further opportunities for advancement, or even backfire and cause one to fall into ruin.
After all, simply shattering the seven soul lamps that had been painstakingly lit was an extremely dangerous act.
If any of the seven soul lamps malfunctions, the cultivator will be halted from reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and will be unable to cultivate any further.
Even if it is completely broken, the goal is to fuse it back together.
It was also extremely difficult.
After all, these are one's own seven emotions, many of which actually restrain each other, and may even cancel each other out. The process of integration will certainly not be simple. Once one of them is dissolved too much, it will cause one's own seven emotions to be lacking. If multiple ones have problems, it will cause one to completely sink into depravity, and I will no longer be myself.
Ultimately, evolving oneself is the simplest and safest approach.
But the same applies.
If one's own path cannot gain the approval of Heaven and Earth, one cannot smoothly pass through the Refinement of Emptiness. Many people are stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for their entire lives because they cannot gain the approval of Heaven and Earth and thus remain stuck there.
Moreover, even if someone gains the approval of Heaven and Earth, the Void Refinement Domain they ultimately obtain after breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm will be extremely useless or even weak.
It can be said.
Cultivation is never a simple matter; every breakthrough in one's cultivation level carries enormous risks.
but……
There are shortcuts, though.
The best shortcut is to lay a solid foundation for yourself, just like Gu Xiu is doing now.
The moment I decided to attempt the Void Refinement stage.
Without hesitation, Gu Xiu shattered the seven soul lamps in his sea of consciousness one after another. The seven soul lamps were scattered throughout the entire Sea of Consciousness Immortal Palace. As they shattered one by one, flames immediately spread, making it seem as if his entire Sea of Consciousness Immortal Palace had been completely set ablaze.
This is an excruciating pain that burns the soul. Under such pain, it is extremely difficult for cultivators to remain calm, and even their seven emotions are amplified.
But at the moment.
As the flames spread, the seven emotions that should have canceled each other out did not cancel each other out at all. Instead, they obediently converged under Gu Xiu's command, and finally the seven flames turned into a ball of primordial soul fire.
The pen is complete!
The process went very smoothly, and was completed in just a few breaths from beginning to end.
This is not solely due to entering the path.
This is also related to the large amount of top-grade divine fire that Gu Xiu had consumed in these Seven Emotions Soul Flames. The more powerful the divine fire, the more spiritual it is, and the more harmonious and inclusive they are with each other.
Now that the primordial soul fire has been formed, the next step is to activate the power accumulated previously.
The power of the Dao Platform, the power of the Golden Core Divine Pattern that has been completely integrated with the Nascent Soul, and the power of the Five Divine Officials on the Nascent Soul's body.
These forces rapidly converged under Gu Xiu's control.
Then, without any hesitation, they merged into one, transforming into a dazzling array of divine light.
Mo Cheng!
The entire process was completed in just a few breaths.
This is also thanks to the efforts accumulated beforehand.
A solid foundation not only makes one's roots more stable and stronger, but also makes every step one takes in the future easier.
It's like building a house.
Building a solid foundation requires a great deal of effort and may take longer and cost more than others. However, this unbreakable foundation will make it easier, more convenient, and more robust to build taller buildings in the future.
It can be said.
This breakthrough alone made all of Gu Xiu's previous efforts seem exceptionally worthwhile!
This is the shortcut!
Now that the brush and ink are complete, the next step is to use their power to deduce one's own path.
It has won the approval of Heaven and Earth!
Break through the Void Refinement Realm and comprehend the Domain!
