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

Chapter 356: Successful Escape!

Furthermore, Gu Yuan felt a weight on his back, a noticeable increase in pressure.

If he weren't a physical cultivator, he would probably have already collapsed to the ground, his back giving way under the pressure.

Even the fire beasts and firebirds around them attacked again.

The scale was astonishing, it was absolutely overwhelming.

If Gu Yuan cannot repel these firebirds and fire beasts in time, he will likely be exhausted and eventually worn down by the sheer number of these beasts formed from true fire.

"Hmph! You really think you can trap me like this?"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, a black halberd, over ten feet long, appeared in his hand, its blades gleaming and cold.

His muscles bulged, and a series of cracking sounds came from his body as his bones popped and his body visibly expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a figure over three zhang tall, with bronze-colored muscles bulging and powerfully knotted, and veins like small snakes covering his body.

He looked like a miniature version of a giant god.

A fierce, violent, and domineering aura quickly spread out.

Even the Black Dragon Halberd in Gu Yuan's hand also swelled up, becoming like an iron pillar in his hands. Its fierce aura was so intense that it could stop a child from crying.

That's right, Gu Yuan has now begun to fully operate the "Red Embryo Furnace Scripture".

This top-tier Taoist book is profound and mysterious. At this moment, Gu Yuan's combat power has definitely reached its peak. Even if the Three Corpse Demon came, Gu Yuan would not be afraid at all, and could even suppress the opponent.

However, facing a Yin God giant like the Fire Entropy Ancestor, even though it wasn't his true form in person, the other party was still a Yin God giant and must have some powerful methods, which is why he felt such a strong sense of crisis.

Now, Gu Yuan has no interest in fighting with Ancestor Huo Shang, and has decided to run away!

Gu Yuan held the halberd in both hands, and a dark red blood aura, like a dragon or a serpent, shot up into the sky above his head. Even the cage formed by the true fire above his head was broken by the impact, resembling a long, towering divine pillar!

His whole being was like a divine furnace, brewing raging flames and radiating endless light and heat.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuan raised the Black Dragon Halberd and slashed it down!

Boom! Boom!
The Black Dragon Halberd drew a streak of black light, a streak containing boundless sharpness and domineering power, fierce and unparalleled, cutting through everything in its path with an unstoppable momentum.

Even the cage blocking Gu Yuan's way was cleaved open by the black light, creating a huge gap. Immediately afterward, Gu Yuan transformed into a golden-red streak of light and swiftly flew out through the gap.

"What a trick!"

Seeing this, the Fire Ancestor naturally wouldn't let it go. The pale blue pearl on his head emitted a dazzling light and then merged into his body.

In an instant, the Fire Ancestor unleashed a powerful pressure, and waves of energy shook the surrounding world, causing chaos and darkness.

Ancestor Huoshang reached out and pulled, and a black and red flame was pulled out and transformed into a bird the size of a palm in his hand.

Once freed from the grasp of the Fire Ancestor, the bird rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant fire peacock with a long tail. Wherever it passed, sparks of fire flickered, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight, yet concealing immense danger.

Moreover, this giant fire peacock was extremely fast, even faster than Gu Yuan.

At least at this moment, Gu Yuan felt a faint sense of crisis growing in his heart.

Despite changing directions several times, he was unable to shake off the fire peacock, and the distance between them kept getting closer and closer.

When the fire peacock was not far from Gu Yuan, it suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of fire.

After spewing out this burst of fire, the fire peacock turned into tiny flames and vanished into the world.

The flames spewed by the Fire Peacock flew towards Gu Yuan with seemingly slow speed, landing on him in the blink of an eye. This flame was actually a ball of blackish-red true fire, its temperature even more terrifying than the true fire within Gu Yuan's magical treasure, the Nine Dragon Furnace.

Even with Gu Yuan's strong physique, he could not withstand this true fire, and his body quickly burst into flames.

Gu Yuan struggled and howled, but in just a dozen breaths, he turned to ashes.

"..."

The Fire Ancestor, who flew in from afar, was not pleased to see this scene. Instead, he frowned and sensed that something was wrong.

Because of his supernatural powers, after burning Gu Yuan to death, he left nothing behind; even the ashes disappeared.

This is somewhat abnormal.

Putting everything else aside, the black halberd that Gu Yuan just took out, as well as his own flying sword magic weapon, are not things that can be easily destroyed.

Even if it's destroyed by real fire, it should still leave some trace, right?
But now?

There was nothing left, not even a speck of ashes.

What does this situation illustrate?
This shows that Gu Yuan just now was clearly not his true self, but a fake body!
As for where his true form is now, he scanned it with his divine sense and found nothing at all.

The Fire Entropy Ancestor stood in mid-air, his face gloomy and unsightly.

Clearly, his operation failed.

A powerful Yin God tried to scheme against a Celestial Realm cultivator, but ended up failing. When word got out, he lost all face, as if Gu Yuan had trampled him underfoot.

"Hmph! Gu Yuan... You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever? You'll have to go back to Qiongming Immortal Pavilion sooner or later. I don't believe you can hide forever!"

……

On the other side, Gu Yuan transformed into a faint, almost imperceptible streak of light and flew off into the distance.

"That old bastard is really ruthless..."

As he flew, Gu Yuan sighed with admiration.

That's right. He used all three of his supernatural abilities—body cultivation, Mirror Flower Water Moon, and Boundless Spirit Escape—to barely escape this calamity.

But thinking about it, it's not that strange.

The methods Gu Yuan possessed were all top-tier supernatural abilities. A slight mistake could easily lead to a collapse, but if these methods were used in combination, they were indeed quite powerful. It wouldn't be surprising if he was able to escape from the hands of the Fire Entropy Ancestor.

Of course, the main reason is that the true form of the Fire Entropy Ancestor did not come.

What came was merely an avatar of the Fire Entropy Ancestor, who possessed some terrifying abilities.

If it were the true form of the Fire Entropy Ancestor, Gu Yuan's escape would likely not be so easy.

However, Gu Yuan did not rush to Beiliang County, because he suddenly had something important to do.

The Yunmeng Mountains stretch endlessly, hiding all sorts of rare and exotic beasts, as well as some relics left by ancient cultivators.

However, Gu Yuan had no intention of exploring further. After flying for several hours and confirming that there were no marks on his body, he found a secluded place and stopped.

Then they found a cave, went inside, and released the dragon loach from the spirit beast bag.
