Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 185 A Bountiful Harvest! The Great Tomb of Guixu!?

"Heh, nothing special!"

Looking at the seven-headed giant snake engulfed by the fist imprint, Gu Jiancheng sneered.

Even a zombie demon at the Dao Integration Realm couldn't withstand his full-force punch.

Um! ?

But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly darkened.

Because from the smoke and dust below, the seven giant snakes surged up and struggled to rise from the ground once more.

boom!

Not only that, his internal energy suddenly became violent, and a scarlet aura burst out from the smoke and dust in an instant, while his combat power and pressure surged wildly in an instant!

The next moment, the seven heads seemed to go mad, baring their fangs and surrounding Gu Jiancheng!

Compared to the few blood-red giant arrows from before, the physical body of this zombie serpent is clearly much more terrifying!

Fourteen blood-gold fangs, like guillotines, were trying to crush Gu Jiancheng.

boom!

Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly, and another four-armed earth-shaking mark crashed down.

But this time, with a muffled thud, the four-armed Heaven-Suppressing Seal was actually shattered by the fangs.

The Four-Armed Heaven-Suppressing Seal, even at full power, failed to suppress it!?

As the snake's head and fangs were about to descend, Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, then sneered, "In that case, I'll finish you off with one sword strike!"

hum!

As soon as the words fell, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and summoned the Dragon's Gate Sword. The peak sword domain erupted instantly, and the Dragon's Gate Sword was engulfed in flames, instantly splitting into countless sword lights that raged down.

"Boundless, Endless Slash!"

In an instant, the sword light swept across the area, instantly engulfing all seven snake heads.

boom!

In an instant, the giant serpent that was not suppressed by the Four-Armed Heaven-Suppressing Seal had its seven heads shattered.

Gu Jiancheng just unleashed the third killing move of the Boundless Sword Technique, enhanced with the peak sword domain, its power enough to kill an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator!

"Hehe, it seems that breaking through in the Sword Domain requires more than just comprehension; practical experience is also essential!"

Gu Jiancheng looked at the Dragon Sword in his hand and smiled.

Now, with just one endless slash, his peak sword domain has already shown signs of loosening and is about to advance to the half-step sword realm.

If his swordsmanship and cultivation level advance together, then he will be able to easily kill even those in the early stages of the Dao Integration Realm!

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng sheathed the Dragon Sword and went to the corpse of the giant snake.

At this moment, all seven heads of the giant serpent were shattered, leaving only fourteen fangs shining brightly in the ashes.

Even though it had become a zombie demon, its fangs remained sharp and tough.

Moreover, the fact that it was not shattered under the endless sword energy is enough to show how powerful these fangs are.

At least compared to the tentacles of the Blood Spider, its quality is a level higher.

Gu Jiancheng then retracted all the fangs and raised his hand to draw all the energy out of the giant snake's body.

A moment later, a life-soul bead and a spirit filled with rich energy were extracted.

Compared to the spirits collected before, this one is significantly stronger.

That was enough to allow the dragon soul within the Dragon Sword to recover a significant portion of its energy!

This is much more fruitful than the previous half hour.

Moreover, the malevolent energy within the giant snake was so concentrated that after it was extracted, it even condensed into a blood bead the size of a fingernail.

"Oh!? Such a strong malevolent aura?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and then put the bead away.

He always felt that this malevolent energy would be of great use.

Moreover, the bloody storm outside the ancient city also contained an even richer ancient spiritual energy.

Gu Jiancheng thought for a moment, then opened his arms and activated the Burning Heaven Overlord Body, flames spreading as he began to frantically absorb the crimson storm.

Such abundant energy resources cannot be wasted.

In an instant, Gu Jiancheng's body became like a furnace, and a scarlet storm turned into a vortex above his head, which was then frantically swallowed up.

It took Gu Jiancheng almost half a day to absorb all of the Crimson Storm.

At this moment, the crimson storm outside the ancient city vanished, and the zombie tide that terrified all Saint Realm cultivators was resolved by Gu Jiancheng alone.

The harvest this time was considerable; Gu Jiancheng obtained not only fourteen fangs but also a blood bead of malevolent energy.

His body had absorbed a large amount of unrefined energy, but Gu Jiancheng found that even though his body was full of energy, there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

This left Gu Jiancheng feeling quite helpless.

But now his cultivation and combat power are stronger than before, it's just that his cultivation hasn't broken through.

Gu Jiancheng tried several times, but there was no response, so he simply gave up.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng headed straight back to the ancient city.

Meanwhile, inside the ancient city, Chen Chang'an and the others on the high platform had been anxiously waiting ever since Gu Jiancheng left.

Leaving the ancient city during the zombie outbreak would be suicide, and if Gu Jiancheng were to perish, then all of them would be in danger.

With their combat strength, they are not capable of taking control of the ancient city. Moreover, although the Xuan Dao Sect has been destroyed, the powerful forces behind it will soon find out and will surely seek revenge.

Now that the zombie tide has merely vanished mysteriously, the way the cultivators in the ancient city look at them has already changed.

If this continues, they will be wiped out even before the forces behind the Xuan Dao Sect arrive.

After all, what right do these cultivators from the Xuanwu Sect have to occupy the high platform and enjoy such a high flow of time?

Gradually, cultivators began to gather below the high platform.

They seemed to have already discussed it privately and were about to besiege the high platform.

"Hmph, get ready..."

Finally, some people below the platform could no longer hold back. Their auras surged, their weapons gripped tightly, and a fight was about to break out.

Given the fighting strength of the White Mist Sect members, they would be wiped out in no time.

"what to prepare?"

Just as the disciples of the White Mist Sect were shocked and enraged, a voice suddenly arose outside the ancient city.

The crowd's expressions changed drastically, and they all turned around to see a figure descending from outside the city.

"What!?"

At this moment, everyone, including Chen Chang'an and Chen Xianzhi, couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

Gu Jiancheng has actually come back!?

How could someone who intruded into a beast tide return unscathed?

How exactly did Gu Jiancheng manage to do that?

"It seems you have no gratitude whatsoever. If it weren't for me, would you still be safe and sound in this ancient city?"

Gu Jiancheng arrived at the high platform and looked down at the crowd below with a sneer.

"I, we..."

In an instant, those cultivators who had just been filled with murderous intent all lowered their eyes, filled with extreme fear.

With Gu Jiancheng back, they no longer dared to make a move.

"Hmph, if you still dare to harbor evil thoughts, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly, then turned around and handed five hundred silver ant-like creatures to Chen Chang'an.

"Keep these for your own protection; they will safeguard your safety."

"Xianzhi, you and I will leave." Then, he looked at Chen Xianzhi.

Now that the deadlock has ended, there is no need for him to stay any longer.

"Aren't you going to bring my brother along?"

But Chen Xianzhi frowned, not wanting to be separated from her brother.

"Little sister, you go ahead, this is the farthest I can go!"

But Chen Chang'an said seriously, "I believe that your benefactor will ensure your safety. You don't need to worry about your brother."

"Let's go!"

Gu Jiancheng didn't want to waste any time, so he picked up Chen Xianzhi and left the ancient city.

He was heading to the ancient ruins Chen Chang'an had mentioned, and then continuing deeper into the Ruins of Return. His goal was to reach the inner area, but he didn't have much time.

"You'd better not lie to me."

On the way, Gu Jiancheng suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Is the sect leader referring to those ancient ruins?"

Chen Xianzhi, who was sorting the seeds, looked up in bewilderment, then smiled and said, "Of course, of course I wouldn't lie to the sect leader."

"But the ancient ruins are very dangerous; it takes a whole day to get there."

"That's good!" Gu Jiancheng nodded, then frowned as he looked at the seeds in Chen Xianzhi's hand and asked, "You like these things?"

"Yes, I love growing medicinal herbs, so I will collect some seeds in the Ruins of Return."

"My dream is to collect all the seeds in this world!"

Chen Xianzhi smiled.

"Heh, dreams are nice, but the seeds you have in your hands right now are of very poor quality."

“If I have the chance, I’ll help you collect some.” Gu Jiancheng shook his head.

The seeds in Chen Xianzhi's hands hadn't even reached the Void Rank yet.

“I like them regardless of their grade, as long as I’ve seen them before. But I still want to thank the sect leader!” Chen Xianzhi said sweetly, “I will definitely nurture them well.”

"Ah."

Gu Jiancheng nodded and said nothing more, continuing to refine the Guixu spiritual energy within his body.

Thus, just one day later, they landed before an ancient, towering peak.

On the way here, Gu Jiancheng had already sensed a strong gathering of resentment in the vicinity.

When they arrived, they discovered that the giant peak was blood red, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Scattered around the giant peak are countless skeletons, stretching as far as the eye can see!

A mountain of bones!?

Gu Jiancheng's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. Only now, standing before this giant peak, did he truly understand what the Battlefield of Return to Nothingness was!

The skeletons here include not only humans but also various demons. One can only imagine the fierce battles that took place here in ancient times!

However, this time the skeletons did not turn into vengeful spirits or zombies.

Moreover, there must be a reason why so many ancient cultivators are fighting here.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng activated his Insightful Eyes and looked at the giant peak.

But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed drastically.

At this moment, he was surprised to discover that a huge complex of buildings was hidden inside this giant peak.

They look like palaces!

"No, this looks...it looks like a large tomb?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

This blood-stained giant peak doesn't look simple at all.

Moreover, Gu Jiancheng discovered that some cultivators had already arrived at this giant peak.

Clearly, such a mysterious place exposed within the Ruins of Return could not have been discovered by only Chen Xianzhi and his group.

But no matter who it is, anyone who dares to provoke him will only face death!
