Chapter 441: Chapter 228: Loose Cultivator Assault, Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu

After acknowledging his master as leader, he remained in the Little Demon Realm for a decade, but nobody knew his name—only that his master called him Elder Qiu. When we met him, we referred to him as Elder Qiu."

"Do you know Sikong Pei?" Wen Jiu asked again.

Lin Jianxia nodded and transmitted a message, "I know of him. Sikong Pei’s name is well-known in the Divine Fall Mountain Range and the Celestial Demon Sea. He is a ruthless Fake Pill Zhenren. Having achieved the Fake Pill Zhenren status for a hundred years, he dominates the Gu Dao in both places."

Upon hearing Lin Jianxia’s transmitted message, Wen Jiu wasn’t surprised, because Donghe Li and others had information about him in their soul memories. He inquired because Wen Jiu wanted to know if this Golden Core True Inheritor had more insight.

But evidently.

He overthought it.

However, after learning some information about the hunched elder, Wen Jiu inexplicably anticipated this Fake Pill battle.

The fallen Fake Pill Zhenren from the Hundred Floating Domains against the famed Fake Pill Gu Cultivator from the Celestial Demon Sea.

Though just three moves will be exchanged.

Both will likely go all out.

If Elder Qiu loses openly, yet Pei Wuxing does not show up, the next visitor might be a Golden Core Zhenren. But if Elder Qiu wins, then perhaps the Little Demon Realm will have some peaceful days ahead.

...

After a hundred breaths.

The two had already staked their positions above the Little Demon Realm.

Sikong Pei fanned his other sleeve, and out emerged a fist-sized spider Gu insect. The spider Gu insect was as white as jade, extremely beautiful, and emitted a serene glow under the night sky. However, this exquisite creature made Elder Qiu, who was several hundred feet away, furrow his brows.

"A fake Tier Three White Jade Spider Gu that can release White Jade Dream Silk invisibly, transforming a space of ten thousand feet into a prison cage, capable of instantly cutting a Foundation Establishment Perfection Body Cultivator into pieces." Elder Qiu’s expression slightly changed as he glanced around to confirm something. After verifying, his gaze finally settled on the Tier Three Array of the Little Demon Realm.

Seeing the Tier Three Array remain, Elder Qiu’s eyes grew resolute, and he raised his hand to perform a spell, summoning not one, but eight Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts. In a flash of thought, Elder Qiu manipulated the eight Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts to attack Sikong Pei.

Clearly.

Elder Qiu is an Artifact Cultivator.

"No wonder he could detect my presence; he’s actually a Fake Pill Artifact Cultivator." Sikong Pei murmured, and the White Jade Spider Gu immediately rushed forward, spraying a densely woven web spanning a thousand feet.

The web fiercely descended alongside the White Jade Spider Gu, bearing down on Elder Qiu and firmly suppressing those eight Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts. With this single strike, the Spiritual Qi shockwave from the collision between Gu Insect and artifact caused even the loose cultivators a hundred miles away in the Little Demon Realm to retreat fifty miles in fear.

Wen Jiu was undaunted but chose not to stand out, so he too retreated. But from this single collision, he gained some understanding of the strength of a Fake Pill Cultivator. Indeed, even though it’s just a Fake Pill, the gap between them and Foundation Establishment Cultivators is like heaven and earth.

As time gradually passed, the invisible spider webs spat out by the White Jade Spider Gu were cut countless times by the eight top-grade artifacts. Yet, for every thread cut, more White Jade Spider Silk was expelled.

After a hundred breaths.

The White Jade Spider Gu steadily held the upper hand.

"The second move is coming."

Following Sikong Pei’s command, the White Jade Spider Gu rapidly grew, spanning from one foot to one zhang, until it reached a body of thirty zhang. It walked the night sky on spider silk, resembling a bright moon hanging high.

The spider silk paved the way, and the White Jade Spider Gu charged towards the eight Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts, its footsteps sending one artifact flying.

The other Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts attempted to retaliate but were entangled by spider silk, and then bitten by the White Jade Spider Gu. With a crunching sound, the Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact was broken.

This sight not only changed the expression of the observing loose cultivators but also put Elder Qiu himself in a precarious situation, prompting him to hurriedly retreat.

Yet, the White Jade Spider Gu had no intention of letting him leave peacefully, crazily advancing on the spider silk, sweeping away or breaking any flying artifact, fully showcasing the might of a fake Third-Order White Jade Spider Gu.

At the same time, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei, after failing to pursue Hong Kui, returned and happened to witness this scene.

Seeing Elder Qiu falling behind, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei were about to step forward to help.

But they were stopped by Elder Qiu’s angry shout.

"I am exchanging three moves with Fellow Daoist Sikong Pei; no one is allowed to intervene." With those words, Elder Qiu suddenly charged against the White Jade Spider Gu, and at a distance of ten zhang, his clothes abruptly exploded.

The artifact body was revealed to everyone.

The eight legs of the White Jade Spider Gu descended, and Elder Qiu met them directly with his artifact body, engaging in a back-and-forth struggle with the fake Third-Order White Jade Spider Gu. Witnessing this, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei quickly withdrew, fearful of being caught in the crossfire.

Fake Third-Order White Jade Spider Gu, fake Third-Order artifact body, these are the hidden trump cards of Fake Pill Cultivators.

At this moment, if caught in the impact.

Even a Foundation Establishment Perfection Body Cultivator would be unlikely to escape unscathed.

But seeing Elder Qiu gradually gaining the upper hand, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei were overjoyed, and the cultivators of the Little Demon Realm couldn’t help but cheer. After all, most were Honored Guest Elders of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and despite having no strong allegiance, they did not want to see Wind and Cloud Immortal City lose to a notorious Fake Pill Wanderer who came to provoke them.

"Fortunately, the Little Demon Realm’s Fake Pill Zhenren is ultimately superior in skill. Turning oneself into an artifact, achieving a fake Third-Order artifact body—such a technique truly leaves one in awe." Chen Li exclaimed on the side.

Wen Jiu watched this scene without showing any joy, because he possessed the complete Fake Pill Artifact Cultivation Method.

Including the Heart Method.

The artifact body is indeed strong.

Turning oneself into a fake Third-Order artifact, comparable to a Golden Core Body Cultivator, is one of the pinnacle techniques in the Artifact Cultivation Method. But even then, it only managed to suppress the White Jade Spider Gu—what about the third move? Can Elder Qiu still block it?

If he can’t, and Master Pei still doesn’t show up, it won’t be long before a Golden Core Cultivator arrives.

And there will definitely be only one.

Sure enough.

After the White Jade Spider Gu was suppressed, Sikong Pei showed surprise but no intention to retreat. After offering a few words of praise, he produced a squirming black fat insect from his hand.

Sikong Pei didn’t rush to throw this Gu insect out, instead watching Elder Qiu nearby with interest.

Once the White Jade Spider Gu was recalled though it was no longer its opponent, Sikong Pei slowly released the Gu insect held in his palm. This seemingly harmless Gu insect caused Elder Qiu’s joyous expression to change instantly.

"Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu!"

Tier Three Gu Insect.

Even the simplest Gu Insect at this level constitutes a genuine Golden Core Killing Technique. Although the Soul-devouring Gu isn’t known for high offensive power among Tier Three, being a special Gu Insect that devours souls slowly after entering the body, it likely won’t be stopped by a fake Third-Order artifact body.

"I sell even the Soul-devouring Gu of the Three Life Gates, did you know that?"

Sikong Pei sneered contemptuously.

Looking at Elder Qiu his gaze was as if he was observing a dead body.

But his attention wasn’t on Elder Qiu at all; it was on the Tier Three Array, which Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate.

He was waiting.

Waiting for someone to appear.

After ten breaths, still no signs of movement, Sikong Pei immediately released the Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu in his hand. As soon as the Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu left his grasp, it vanished, but in the next moment, Elder Qiu was blown back a thousand zhang.

Bang—

A huge crack appeared on the fake Third-Order artifact body, with a thumb-sized impact point at the center of the fissure. Although the blow didn’t completely destroy the artifact body, another strike would surely shatter it. With the artifact body broken and the Soul-devouring Gu entering the body, Elder Qiu would be like a sheep awaiting slaughter.

Despite possessing the Divine Soul Defense Technique, it would likely be difficult to resist the devouring and impact of the Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu.

"Elder Qiu!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Daoist Wei exclaimed.

Nevertheless, the fake Third-Order artifact body, fully exerting itself, was still shattered under the impact of the Tier Three Soul-devouring Gu, and the Soul-devouring Gu entered the body as expected. Daoist Wei wanted to step forward to assist, but couldn’t even take a step.

Si Kongbai didn’t care to glance at Daoist Wei and the others. Upon seeing that there was still no movement within the Tier Three Array, he couldn’t help but smile cunningly. "Still not showing up? It seems those old guys were right."
