Chapter 585: Chapter 584: So Strong, Even I’m Afraid of Myself!

Vaguely, the six Flying Swords were all flowing with Five-Colored Spiritual Light, transforming, restraining, and complementing each other.

A faint yet seemingly divine and demon-slaying aura brewed and nurtured among them.

The intensity of this aura made the Taiyi Golden Bell and Creation Cyan Lotus around them feel apprehensive, suppressing them to a certain extent, even Gu Yuan was amazed.

The Five Spirits Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Array he comprehended has become even more powerful, with a destructive force probably surpassing Gu Yuan’s Chaos Divine Thunder and his original Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques.

To be precise, this Sword Array incorporates the Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques cultivated by Gu Yuan, and even innovates further by integrating the Five Elements Grand Dao.

In terms of both foundational depth and potential power, it is much stronger than the original Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques!

A typical Yin God Giant, if caught in this Sword Array, would likely be utterly defenseless.

Only a very few elite Yin God Giants, who possibly practiced two or more Great Divine Techniques, or possess top-level Magical Treasures, might barely withstand it.

But Gu Yuan is confident that even such beings, once caught in his Five Spirits Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Array, would undoubtedly face defeat, even death!

This shows the immense benefits Gu Yuan’s clone gained from continuously understanding the Restriction Array left by Five Spirits in the Five Spirits’ Cave Mansion previously!

This deepened Gu Yuan’s understanding and accumulation in the Dao of Five Elements abruptly.

If not for this journey to the Five Spirits’ Cave Mansion, Gu Yuan would have had to painstakingly study for decades to reach this level.

Next, Gu Yuan began to comprehend the "Five Elements Celestial Book Supplement," a profound and mystical Daoist Scripture.

Even with Gu Yuan’s solid foundational background and remarkable Enlightenment, it took some effort.

The phases below the Yin Spirit were easily comprehended by Gu Yuan, but at the Yin Spirit phase, which involves understanding the Power of the Five Elements, Gu Yuan was a bit perplexed.

Fortunately, his foundational Five Spirits Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Array is ever-changing, and by using the Sword Array as a mirror, Gu Yuan began to absorb the various essences from the scripture and integrate them into his cultivation, progressing rather smoothly.

As time passed and effort was expended, Gu Yuan successfully integrated the scripture’s essence into his cultivation system, making it more exquisite and powerful.

As a result, Gu Yuan’s foundational depth became increasingly stable, and the terrifying aura nurtured within his Five Spirits Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Array grew even more formidable.

At this point, Gu Yuan flicked a finger.

Swoosh!!!

A wisp of faint Five-Colored Sword Light shot out.

This wisp of Sword Light was purely condensed from mana, containing the intricacies of the Five Elements.

Looking thin as a leek leaf, yet it harbored boundless sharpness.

The Sword Light easily traveled hundreds of miles, landing on a small deserted island in the sea.

With a soft sound, this small island, a few miles in radius, was cleaved in two by the Sword Light, scarred deeply into the sea floor.

Wherever the Sword Light passed, whether rocks or living beings or demons, were effortlessly cut in half.

A faint Sword Intent vaguely spread, scaring all sea beasts and demons within hundreds of miles into a hurried escape.

"Indeed... my strength has grown stronger."

Gu Yuan’s face revealed an unrestrained smile: "So strong that even I have started to be scared."

This was not Gu Yuan being conceited, but stating a fact.

Subsequently, Gu Yuan did not go into seclusion, but chose to take out the Black Gold Dragon Bone Pills previously given by Ao Kui.

These Black Gold Dragon Bone Pills are a secret elixir of the East Sea Dragon Palace, with stringent and rare material requirements and abundance, effective in tempering the physique, a powerful asset for a cultivator of Gu Yuan’s level, hence, extremely precious.

There were three bottles of Black Gold Dragon Bone Pills, totaling one hundred and fifty-one pills, adding to the one from the first visit.

Gu Yuan did not consume them directly, but used the Great Divine Technique Dream Flower Space to examine the pills one by one, ensuring there were no traps, before pinching one.

The Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill is about egg-sized, dark gold in color, heavy and extremely hard, weighing several dozen pounds, seemingly forged from the essence of some exotic gold.

Dull and lusterless, yet it exudes a sense of self-concealed divine object.

This Spirit Pill isn’t actually consumed and refined but needs to be dissolved in water, allowing the cultivator to soak fully and absorb its medicinal power.

But for Gu Yuan, it’s naturally much simpler...

With a press of his fingers,

Cra-cmunch!

The Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill shattered immediately, and with a gentle tremor of Gu Yuan’s mana, it became powder.

Soon, Gu Yuan gathered a flow of crystal-clear water, merging it with the dark gold powder, forming a sticky dark gold liquid.

With a thought, Gu Yuan spread this medicinal liquid throughout his body, covering it with a thin layer.

Then, Gu Yuan executed the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques, which he hadn’t used in a while.

This technique has a peculiar ability to devour all, though before Gu Yuan ascended to the Golden Core Realm, it wasn’t elevated to a Great Divine Technique.

Hence, Gu Yuan seldom used it.

However, if the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python he rears evolves again, perhaps his top-grade Divine Techniques can be elevated to a true Great Divine Techniques!

Now, to quickly absorb and refine the medicinal power, Gu Yuan used this top-grade Divine Techniques.

With a flash of black light, Gu Yuan rapidly absorbed these medicinal energies.

Soon, he absorbed and digested these energies thoroughly.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes to slowly feel, sensing the transformation in his body.

For instance, his tendons, bones, skin, flesh, and organs, all underwent some enhancement.

His tendons and bones became increasingly flexible and dense, tough and resilient.

The skin vaguely shimmered with Five-Colored Spiritual Light, with defense comparable to some Middle Grade Magical Treasures.

The flesh too, was as such, crystalline and transparent, akin to jade or soul; as for the organs, they vaguely formed a Five Elements Celestial Palace, with metallic lungs, wooden liver, watery kidneys, fiery heart, and earthy spleen, interconnected and transformative, very mystical.

Even the Divine Soul experienced a slight change.

It could be said that now, Gu Yuan, even a single bone or tendon, is a precious treasure, capable of being refined as a Magical Treasure.

His flesh has transformed into Spirit Medicine, bearing an anomalous power capable of rebirth and transformation.
