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

Chapter 544 Kill Xiu Daozhen!
As for Gu Yuan's performance, it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Because Gu Yuan's physique is stronger than that of a proper demonic cultivator!

"You flatter me, but I wonder how those two are doing now."

Gu Yuan turned his gaze to the location where Xiu Daozhen's cave had been, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

“Young friend, your Yin Thunder Pearls are indeed powerful. Even if I were caught off guard, I would surely die.”

Blood Cry Master nodded, then smiled and said, "However, I also put some trinkets in that wooden box. Even if those two escaped your Yin Thunder Pearl, they definitely couldn't escape my things."

"Neither of these two are simple characters; it's best not to underestimate them."

Gu Yuan shook his head, reminding the other party to be careful.

However, he also knew exactly what the little thing that Blood Cry True Person had put out was. It was a terrifying mixture of dozens of strange and turbid demonic energies and yin energies, mixed with demonic poison. Even if an ordinary Golden Core cultivator were to come into contact with even a trace of it, he would probably die a terrible death.

Blood Cry Master nodded, agreeing with this point. After waiting for a moment, the two asked, "Young friend, why don't we go and take a look now?"

Even now, at the very center of the explosion, some lightning, demonic energy, and poison are still spreading, and it's difficult to see anything even with a sweep of divine sense.

Gu Yuan was a highly skilled and daring man. He knew that if you were going to do something like this, you should go all the way and eliminate them completely. So he readily agreed.

Seeing that Gu Yuan agreed, Blood Cry Master was not surprised. He smiled and the two immediately flew off.

Arriving at the spot where Xiu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong had been, they found it in ruins, but they couldn't find any trace of them.

As for the other cultivators on Little Iron Cloud Island in the distance, they were startled by the sudden commotion and rushed over to see what had happened.

However, Blood Cry Master simply waved his hand, and hundreds of evil spirits, ghosts, and demons flew out and attacked these people.

Thus, the group of cultivators was intercepted.

Gu Yuan's gaze was sharp as lightning; he remained vigilant, searching everywhere for traces of Xiu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong. Whether the two were alive or dead, they should at least leave some clues. He did the same for Xueqi Zhenren, searching for their whereabouts as well.

Sure enough, not long after, Gu Yuan noticed some bloodstains on the ground not far away.

The bloodstains were dark red, with some areas charred, and even emitted a faint stench of decay.

Furthermore, some places even found pieces of meat.

Clearly, those who stayed behind were badly hurt.

Not long after, as Gu Yuan passed by a pile of ruins, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he quickly moved away from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a swift streak of light pierced through his original location.

"Xiu Daozhen, you really are not dead!"

Gu Yuan's eyes flashed as he spotted the other party's trail. Light flowed in his hand, and a sharp, gleaming immortal sword appeared.

With a single swing, he cleaved through the ruins before him.

"Boy, who are you?!"

With a venomous scream, amidst the flying debris, a figure rushed forward, directly attacking Gu Yuan. The speed was astonishing; judging from his appearance, it was none other than Xiu Daozhen. However, Xiu Daozhen looked exceptionally wretched. Not only was one leg missing, but a large chunk of flesh, the size of a washbasin, was also missing from his chest and abdomen. Other parts of his body were mangled and broken, especially his head, which was missing a third of its length, making him almost unrecognizable as human.

Even the most important dantian area was severely damaged.

A normal person would have died many times over if they had suffered this kind of injury.

However, Xiu Daozhen was still a Yin God giant. Even with such injuries, he did not die. This was because, at the Yin God realm, although the head, dantian, and heart were still very important, the Yin God within the body could completely detach from the physical body and survive on its own, or even possess another body and be reborn.

Of course, possessing another body is not so easy. Not only does it severely deplete one's cultivation, but it also places high demands on the physical body required for possession.

Furthermore, even if the possession is successful, it will directly or indirectly diminish a significant portion of one's potential.

Therefore, now that Xiu Daozhen has fallen to such a state, even if he manages to escape this time, his chances of advancing to the Yang God realm are significantly smaller, and as for the primordial spirit, they are even less likely.

Therefore, he clearly hated Gu Yuan to the extreme!
Faced with Xiu Daozhen's frenzied offensive, Gu Yuan did not dodge but advanced instead. He swung his longsword again, slashing out two sword lights that crossed and tore through the void in front of him, drawing an "X" shape.

The two sword lights were like thin lines, yet they contained extreme sharpness. Wherever they passed, nothing could stop their sharpness.

Xiu Daozhen was the same.

In order to withstand the explosion, he had already used up some of his protective items, and even a mid-grade magic weapon was destroyed.

Now, he has no protective items left, relying solely on his innate supernatural powers for protection.

Normally, he might have had a chance to intercept Gu Yuan's swordsmanship, but now he was severely injured and could not unleash even 40% of his strength and cultivation.

With a "poof" sound, Xiu Daozhen's entire body was torn to pieces.

Only a ray of divine light flew out from the remains of the corpse, and it was about to leave in an instant.

However, Gu Yuan had anticipated this. With a thought, an ancient and solemn bronze bell descended and emitted a melodious and magnificent sound.

clang--! ! !
As the bell rang, the divine light trembled violently, and like a mosquito trapped in amber, it was instantly frozen in place.

The divine light immediately revealed its true form, which was also the appearance of Xiu Daozhen. However, judging from its size, it was obviously a smaller version of Xiu Daozhen, only a little over half a foot tall, and it was not a physical body, but a somewhat illusory Yin spirit!
The essence of Yin spirits is actually the soul, only it is covered by a body. The soul is more profound and subtle. Once it leaves the body, it becomes subject to many taboos.

Not only has it become much more fragile, but it also cannot be contaminated by pure yang substances, lightning, or filthy demonic energy.

Pure Yang substances are easy to understand, such as the true fire of the sun and the crimson flame crystal.

Even sunlight counts; if the yin spirit stays under the sun for too long, it will also damage its vital energy.

Yin spirits are essentially yin entities, containing a large amount of yin matter, or yin dregs. If one is not careful, they can easily attract lightning strikes.

It is necessary to completely eliminate them, so that the Yin spirit can be transformed into a Yang spirit, and become a pure Yang spirit. Only in this way can one advance to the Yang spirit realm of the Dragon Gate.

Therefore, although the Yin spirit giant can exist outside the body for a long time, it is still quite fragile overall and carries considerable risks.

Only by advancing to the realm of Yang God can one completely detach from the physical body, without worrying about encountering any accidents, and truly achieve a state without any flaws.
