Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 321 Gu Yuan's Tragic Condition

Seven days later, at the Thunder Realm Mountains.

The once majestic and continuous mountains are no more, replaced by a devastated wasteland.

The broken mountain peaks, like the shattered skeleton of a giant beast, lay askew on the scorched earth, the exposed rocks soaked in blood, which congealed into dark brown scabs.

As far as the eye can see, there are mountains and seas of corpses.

The Thunder Clan's purple lightning battle armor and the Ancient Clan's blue-patterned robes were piled up haphazardly. Those once-powerful warriors had all turned into lifeless corpses.

However, strangely, all the corpses were shriveled up, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, their eyes sunken, as if all their life essence had been drained, leaving only empty shells.

The energy between heaven and earth was in extreme chaos. The remaining power of the lightning tribulation intertwined and collided with the battle qi, forming twisted energy turbulence. When it swept across the ruins, it made a sharp whistling sound, like the mournful cries of countless wronged souls.

However, the scene in the center of the Thunder Realm Mountains is completely different.

A colossal pool of blood rose out of thin air, its diameter reaching ten thousand feet. The pool walls were forged from an unknown black crystal, covered with strange blood-red patterns, and radiating an eerie red light.

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Within the pool of blood, the viscous blood churned and bubbled like boiling magma, its thick, pungent stench soaring to the heavens, making one want to vomit.

But amidst this bloodshed, there was also a chilling energy fluctuation.

A blood-gold longsword stood silently in the center of the blood pool. The sword was long and slender, with a fierce dragon and phoenix pattern carved on the hilt. A faint blood-gold luster flowed across the sword, as if it were breathing and exhaling with life.

Its sword tip plunged into the bottom of the blood pool. With each surge of blood, a massive amount of essence blood was greedily absorbed into the sword. As energy continued to flow in, the aura emanating from the longsword grew increasingly powerful.

"Not bad……"

Above the clouds, Su Yun stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Emperor-Slaying Sword grow ever stronger, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Shh!"

Just then, a fiery red streak of light streaked across the sky, like a wildfire, rushing from the distant horizon and arriving in front of Su Yun in an instant.

As the light faded, a captivating figure was revealed.

Phoenix wore a fiery red dress, the hem of which was embroidered with a phoenix rising from the ashes, swaying slightly with her movements.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."

Su Yun raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Speak."

"After this battle, the Thunder Clan and the Ancient Clan were nearly wiped out. All of the Thunder Clan's Battle Saint Elders were killed in battle."

On the ancient clan's side, apart from a few high-level Dou Sheng like Gu Jian and Gu Ming who fought their way out, all the rest of the clan members, whether Dou Zhe or ordinary clansmen, have been killed.

She paused here, seemingly hesitant, but still forced herself to continue: "However, as the battle was nearing its end, a soul at the Emperor Realm suddenly broke into the Thunder Realm."

That soul entity was extremely powerful; wherever it passed, our clan's garrison was utterly helpless and instantly slaughtered. It lingered in the Thunder Realm for a moment, seemingly taking someone away.

That soul entity must be Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan, who had previously clashed with the Gu Lei clan.

"Ah."

Su Yun's eyelids twitched slightly: "Continue."

"in addition……"

Phoenix's voice rang out again, her body bowing even deeper: "Furthermore, the ancient clan chief, Gu Yuan, whom you specifically instructed us to find, has not been located..."

"waste."

Su Yun spoke coldly.

Phoenix's delicate body trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant: "Your subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Hurry up and go find it!" "Yes! I'll go right away!"

Phoenix felt as if it had been granted a pardon. It quickly got up and, without daring to linger for a moment, transformed into a streak of fiery red light and sped away once more.

Watching Phoenix's hasty departure, Su Yun's anger gradually subsided, replaced by a strange smile.

He flipped his hand, and a silver void force appeared out of thin air, churning continuously in his palm.

A moment later, the power of the void transformed into a three-dimensional map, the outline of which resembled a continuous mountain range, which was the complete topography of the Tianheng Mountain Range.

On the map, countless white dots are scattered like stars across the mountains, while deep within the map, a dazzling golden dot is slowly moving.

Just then, the two pairs of white dots on the map suddenly stopped patrolling, as if they had discovered something unusual. They turned around and quickly moved towards the location of the golden dot.

"Of course you won't find it..."

Su Yun's lips curled into a smile, and the silver spatial power in his palm surged once more, transforming into a thin silver thread that silently shot towards the Tianheng Mountains.

As Su Yun moved, the two pairs of white dots on the map that were originally moving towards the golden dot suddenly changed direction and slowly moved towards other parts of the mountain range.

"Fortunately, the injuries inflicted on Gu Yuan at the time were severe enough."

Su Yun said secretly.

"Otherwise, even with the void power of my Dragon-Phoenix body, it would not be easy to do something without a nine-star peak Dou Sheng noticing."

However, even if Gu Yuan hadn't been injured, he had a backup plan.

A power to make things happen...

With this thought in mind, Su Yun waved his hand lightly, and countless tiny silver light spots emanated from his palm, like snowflakes falling from the sky, continuously scattering towards the Tianheng Mountain Range.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As these silver dots merged in, the golden dot representing Gu Yuan on the map also began to change its direction of movement, no longer fleeing aimlessly.

Instead, it slowly and involuntarily moved towards the location in the center of the map marked with eerie flame patterns...

"Go, Gu Yuan."

Su Yun's smile grew even wider: "According to the destiny I've woven for you, go to the Tomb of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and properly 'heal' your wounds, hehe..."

……

Meanwhile, in the Tianheng Mountains.

"hiss……"

Gu Yuan's golden robe was already soaked in blood, and many parts of the robe were torn, revealing the hideous wounds underneath.

His face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak and listless, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn Dragon-Phoenix Child... This is an irreconcilable feud!"

Gu Yuan gritted his teeth, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

Even that little beast Xiao Jibai couldn't have caused him such injuries.

Now, facing the encirclement and suppression of the orc army, he can only flee like a stray dog, how could he not hate it!

However, he also understood that now was far from the time for revenge. He needed to find a safe place to heal his injuries as soon as possible, otherwise even facing those beastmen bastards he had once looked down upon would become a problem.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan forced himself to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the deepest part of the Tianheng Mountains.
