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

Chapter 501: A Battle of Life and Death!
Almost instantly, the area inside the arena of life and death expanded dozens of times.

The distance between Gu Yuan and Gu Xuanfeng quickly widened to a full three miles.

However, this distance is nothing to a Golden Core cultivator like Gu Yuan; he can arrive in the blink of an eye.

The two were practically face to face.

Gu Yuan's heart stirred. He was naturally familiar with the power of space, because the great divine ability he had cultivated, the Boundless Divine Escape, contained a trace of the power of spatial rules.

The grand formation before him gave him considerable inspiration. If he could study it carefully, he might be able to set up similar formations and restrictions.

However, it's clearly not the right time right now. We can study it further when we have the opportunity later.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, it’s not too late if you kneel down and beg for mercy now. I guarantee I can show you mercy and spare your life.”

Gu Xuanfeng smiled and said, but what he said was a bit hurtful.

All Golden Core cultivators are rare cultivation geniuses. To expect a Golden Core cultivator to kneel and beg for mercy is an immense insult! It would be a laughingstock for life if word got out.

However, Gu Yuan remained calm and said, "If you kneel down and call me grandpa now, I might spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanfeng's face immediately darkened, and he coldly snorted, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to glow with a purplish-red light, an eerie light carrying a kind of sinister power.

Gu Yuan's vision blurred, and the air seemed to ripple. At the same time, a strange force invaded, trying to pull Gu Yuan's soul and will into some kind of illusion.

Divine Soul Power!
Clearly, the divine eye technique that Gu Xuanfeng used was the same divine soul technique that Xu Haoran had reminded him of earlier!
Specifically designed for the soul of cultivators!
The vast majority of cultivators practice ordinary magical spells and techniques. As for divine soul techniques, they are rare and require a certain level of skill.

However, in such cases, once one cultivates this kind of supernatural power, it often has the effect of deciding life and death with a single blow.

In the past, Gu Xuanfeng relied on this Purple Extreme Evil Eye Divine Power to be invincible, and even used it to kill several great cultivators of the same level.

Unfortunately, he encountered Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuanren remained rooted to the spot, motionless and dazed, his expression shifting unpredictably, as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion.

However, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in Gu Xuanfeng's heart, and a cold chill spread directly from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

A chilling killing intent almost completely overwhelmed him.

Oh no, there is danger!

Gu Xuanfeng didn't know what had happened, but his instincts as a Golden Core cultivator made him sense the danger, and he reacted quickly by activating his protective magic treasure.

A deep blue light burst forth from his body, protecting Gu Xuanfeng completely.

However, just as the deep blue light shone, Gu Yuan's figure appeared before him.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and slashed, using his palm as a blade, landing on the deep blue precious light.

scoff-

With a heart-wrenching, eerie sound, the thick layer of precious light was torn apart and twisted by Gu Yuan's palm, and Gu Xuanfeng was also sent flying.

As he flew, he coughed up blood, and the bones in his chest shattered with a crackling sound until he crashed into the light barrier at the edge of the arena of life and death.

He coughed up another mouthful of blood from the impact, which fell to the ground. He felt pain all over his body, inside and out.

His chest, in particular, felt tight and painful, and he was even gradually losing sensation. Fortunately, he was a Golden Core cultivator with extremely strong vitality. Although the injury was serious, Gu Xuanfeng only needed a few days to gradually recover.

However, Gu Xuanfeng had no time to think about these things now, because at this moment, the same terrifying feeling that had just been there rose in his heart again.

Without hesitation, he activated a special jade talisman. The talisman shattered, releasing a dense white light that quickly enveloped his entire body.

Just then, Gu Yuan appeared before him, moving so fast it was almost like teleportation.

Fortunately, a flash of white light appeared, and he disappeared from Gu Yuan's sight, avoiding Gu Yuan's attack.

The next moment, Gu Xuanfeng appeared a hundred feet away, thus dodging a fatal attack.

Gu Yuan turned around, showing no surprise at the other party's methods.

As a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, it's perfectly normal for Gu Xuanfeng to have a few life-saving items.

However, the gap in strength cannot be bridged by a few items.

Gu Yuan was well aware of the gap between them, but others weren't.

The scene just now was clearly seen by the many people below the life-or-death arena, and many of them were so shocked that they almost jumped up.

Many people had already predicted this battle of wits.

Gu Xuanfeng, as a true disciple of a major sect, possesses both cultivation and strength. In contrast, Gu Yuan's identity and origin are unknown, and even his cultivation and supernatural abilities are unknown to anyone.

In this situation, the vast majority of people actually have a positive view of Gu Xuanfeng.

Very few people saw that Gu Yuan was extraordinary, but they also thought that the two would be locked in a stalemate before a winner was decided. However, no one expected that the battle between the two would be so decisive and efficient.

With just one strike, Gu Yuan broke through Gu Xuanfeng's defenses and severely injured him. If Gu Xuanfeng hadn't reacted in time, he would have been dead in the next attack.

Gu Yuan's methods were simple, relying solely on his physical strength; however, the overwhelming destructive power he displayed truly shocked many.

Even Gu Xuanfeng's fellow disciples were shocked; Gu Yuan's strength had exceeded their expectations.

Xu Haoran, however, remained relatively calm. He was one of the few people present who knew that Gu Yuan was a body cultivator.

However, Gu Yuan's performance just now still surprised him somewhat.

He asked himself honestly, if he were Gu Xuanfeng from earlier, he wasn't very confident that he could handle Gu Yuan's attack.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan was not going all out at this time; at least some of his immortal abilities and supernatural techniques were not used.

Gu Yuan paid no attention to the reactions of the cultivators below the stage, but on the life-and-death stage, Gu Xuanfeng felt a constant sense of alarm. He was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his forehead, and a sense of crisis kept surging up.

However, his mood was even worse.

He now understood that Gu Yuan's strength was clearly superior to his own.

He hadn't taken Gu Yuan seriously before, but Gu Yuan's performance easily crushed him.

Seeing that Gu Yuan was about to make another move, Gu Xuanfeng couldn't care less about anything else at this critical moment. He didn't even use his natal magic weapon, but instead took out his trump card.
