Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 288 The Corpse-Holding God and Demon!

He looked at Gu Yuan, no longer the taciturn man he once was, but with a strange look in his eyes, and sighed:

"What a pity! If only I could have captured you back then. With your foundation and talent, if you could have refined yourself into a Yin Demon, you would have the foundation of an immortal god-demon!"

"Such a good opportunity, yet I let this old man miss it. What a pity, what a pity!"

"So you're the Three Corpses Demon!"

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally understood the identity of the person in front of him. It was actually the Three Corpse Elder, whom he had met several times and with whom he still had grudges.

He had even met one of the old demon's clones before, but he never expected that the old demon would come to the Crimson Dragon Small World again.

Gu Yuan looked at the dark-skinned, thin old man and said thoughtfully:

"Logically speaking, a person should not be able to enter this Crimson Dragon Small World repeatedly. You have already entered this place before, and now you have come to this Crimson Dragon Small World again. It seems that you are not the original body, but an avatar!"

"So what if it's a clone?"

A sinister smile crept across the dark, gaunt face of the Three Corpses Old Demon.

"You are indeed quite capable, young man. As far as I know, you have already killed three Golden Core cultivators. But so what?"

“There are differences between Golden Core cultivators. The Golden Core cultivators you killed were at most low to mid-grade Golden Core cultivators. But I am different. Although I cultivate the Immortal Demonic Path and have not yet formed a Golden Core, my Three Corpse Demonic Souls are by no means inferior, and are even more mysterious.”

"Moreover, my cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage."

He pointed to the skeletal Hercules God beside him, a sneer playing on his lips: "Now I have the skeletal Hercules God, plus myself. Although it's not my true form, it's still far beyond what ordinary cultivators can match. What do you have to fight me with?"

"Be smart and hand over the Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill, and I might spare you this time, how about it?"

As they spoke, a tall demonic figure appeared faintly behind the Three Corpse Demon.

This demonic figure was over ten feet tall, wielding a jet-black, serrated ghost-head blade, and exuding a suffocating aura of power—truly awe-inspiring!
Especially his eyes, which were bright and dazzling, like two light bulbs, indifferent and firm, like a high and mighty god, yet with a strange and sinister quality.

That skeletal, mighty demon god was one thing, but this demonic shadow put considerable pressure on Gu Yuan, even more so than the previous Azure Wood True Man.

It should be noted that although the True Man Qingmu was a second-grade Dan cultivator, he was the true body, while the Three Corpse Demon in front of him was merely an avatar.

Therefore, Gu Yuan had reason to suspect that the demonic figure in front of him was very likely one of the three corpses of the Three Corpse Demon.

In other words, the person in front of me is one-third of the Three Corpse Demon.

The Three Corpse Demon Lord's natal Three Corpse Gods and Demons consist of three beings: the Good Corpse God and Demon, the Evil Corpse God and Demon, and the Corpse-Holding God and Demon.

The first two have characteristics of being compared in name. For example, the good corpse god and demon has a smiling face on the surface, while the evil corpse god and demon has a ferocious and terrifying face, full of ugliness and ferocity.

Therefore, the demonic shadow behind the Three Corpse Demon in front of us is almost certainly the Three Corpse Demon's Corpse-Holding Demon!
"Looks like you've got your eye on my Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill too... You old geezer, you're really something."

Gu Yuan chuckled, the Silver Dragon Sword swirling around him with incredible agility, while the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede perched on his shoulder.
"However, you must not forget that although your cultivation is strong, you are also more suppressed by this small world."

"With your current strength, you'd be lucky to unleash even 40% of it. Want to kill me? Dream on!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede on Gu Yuan's shoulder, the Three Corpse Demon's expression turned somewhat ugly.

The words may be harsh, but the reasoning is sound. Gu Yuan's words were a bit unpleasant, but they weren't entirely without merit.

That's right, his cultivation level is indeed several minor realms higher than Gu Yuan's, but Gu Yuan's foundation is quite solid. He has mastered many top-tier divine abilities, his swordsmanship is exquisite, and he also has the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede as his assistants. In terms of skill, he is not much inferior to him.

Moreover, this Crimson Dragon Small World has a suppressive effect on cultivators; the higher the cultivation level, the greater the suppression!

He could barely unleash 40% of his strength, but Gu Yuan was only slightly restricted.

In this way, if it really came down to a fight, although he was confident that he could have the upper hand over Gu Yuan, it would be absolutely impossible for him to deal with Gu Yuan in a short period of time!
However, just as the Three Corpse Demon's expression was uncertain, his spirits lifted, because he saw Gu Yuan take out the golden elixir from earlier—the Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill.

"You're smart to know what's good for you! Kid, don't worry, I'll..."

Before the Three Corpse Demon could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his face gradually turning ashen and ugly, so gloomy it was almost dripping with water!

Because Gu Yuan actually swallowed the Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill without saying a word.

Gu Yuan actually ate it!
The Three Corpse Demon King's chest heaved, his face cold and sinister. He never expected that Gu Yuan would act so decisively and directly, actually consuming the elixir.

This is the Heavenly King Forging God Pill, a rare spiritual pill that can help a Golden Core cultivator potentially advance to the Yin God realm.

If he obtained it, he would definitely find a relatively safe and secluded place, then swallow it and slowly refine it, never wasting a single bit of its medicinal power.

Gu Yuan's decisive action was almost like he was playing around.

Gu Yuan has just consumed this excellent top-grade elixir, and most of its medicinal power will definitely be wasted.

This is absolutely a waste!

Moreover, the medicinal power contained in this elixir is absolutely immense and potent. Can Gu Yuan withstand it?

Isn't he afraid his body will burst?!
"Fine, Gu Yuan, you really are ruthless! I'll remember you..."

The Three Corpse Demon was burning with rage, but he managed to suppress his anger and refrain from taking action.

The elixir has already been consumed by Gu Yuan. No matter what we do, even if we kill Gu Yuan, it will be too late.

It's a pity that this Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill ended up benefiting this kid.

With that, he left with a gloomy face, and the black demonic shadow behind him turned into a ray of light and merged into his body, disappearing without a trace.

"Wait!"

Just as the Three Corpse Demon was about to leave, Gu Yuan called out to him, a half-smile on his face: "Old man, you attacked me rashly, and now you're just leaving? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"What? Kid, do you intend to keep this old man here?"

The Three Corpse Demon sneered.

As a seasoned old demon, he naturally had his own confidence and arrogance. Gu Yuan was quite powerful, but as an elder of the Yuanming Sect, how could he be a simple person?
"I, Gu Yuan, have always believed in repaying kindness and avenging wrongs."

Gu Yuan remained calm and said indifferently, "Since you attacked me just now, I will return the favor with a sword. As for whether you can withstand it, that depends on your own ability!"
