Finally, a miracle happened. Gu Wudi relied on his arms and used the Chaos Halberd as a springboard. He dragged his bloody and powerless legs and jumped over, successfully reaching the 33rd floor.
In just a moment, the terrifying pressure disappeared.
Gu Wudi relaxed all of a sudden and collapsed to the ground. Although the severe pain was still there, at least the crisis was temporarily resolved.
This time, he almost failed. After he knelt on the ground, his consciousness became blurred and he was only one step away from death. It can be said that one foot had already stepped into the gate of hell.
Thanks to the Chaos Halberd that came to his rescue in time, he was given a chance to survive.
Suddenly, above the thirty-third heaven, mist rolled, the road rang softly, and wisps of immortal light descended, incomparably holy.
These lights fell accurately on Gu Wudi's body, and suddenly, there was a loud cracking sound.
Under the influence of the fairy light, the broken bones connected together at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly restored to their original state. A gurgling sound came from deep in the bone marrow, which was the result of fresh blood being produced and injected into the blood vessels.
In just a few breaths, Gu Wudi's injuries were healed, and his lost energy was replenished exactly.
Gu Wudi even had a feeling that his condition was better than ever before, and his body was even stronger than before he broke into the rooftop.
He looked up at the sky, seeing the brilliant fairy lights, and realized in his heart that this was the reward for passing the thirty-three levels of heavenly stairs.
So, what is the next level like? What is the test?
Just as he was guessing in his heart, the thick fog in front of him suddenly dissipated, revealing a strange scene.
This is a mottled ancient road that can only accommodate a few people. On both sides are surging waves and waves. However, these waves are not normal sea water, but are composed of colorful flowing liquids, which look very scary.
Gu Wudi looked solemn, somewhat confused about what the test of this level was.
"Are we going to move forward along this ancient road? Where does the test come from? In the waves on both sides? Are there unknown creatures living in them?"
He rested for a while, and then resolutely set foot on the ancient road ahead. Now he had no way to retreat and could only move forward.
As soon as we stepped onto the ancient road, the colorful liquids on both sides began to boil, and a terrifying whistling sound was heard.
"Roar!"
With a roar, a stream of green liquid rushed up and turned into an unknown creature, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards Gu Wudi.
"laugh!"
The Chaos Halberd glowed and was swung in Gu Wudi's hand, defeating the creature with one blow.
However, to his surprise, the green creatures exploded on the spot, and a lot of green liquid fell on Gu Wudi's body. They had extremely powerful spirituality and madly drilled into Gu Wudi's body.
Unable to guard against it, the green liquid successfully entered his body.
Without waiting for Gu Wudi to react, they swam wildly, emitting unknown substances.
"Gulu!"
Gu Wudi only felt a sharp pain in his back, and the flesh there rolled and squirmed involuntarily, as if something was about to drill out.
The next moment, the flesh and blood were torn apart, and a pair of huge flesh wings suddenly emerged, then opened and flapped autonomously, bringing up a hurricane.
Gu Wudi was shocked.
There was no doubt that the meat wings were brought by the green liquid. Now he also realized that the colorful liquid here was actually the blood of various races mixed together.
The green blood that entered his body belonged to an ancient supreme race with flesh wings on their backs, known for their extreme speed.
Now, with this bloodline in Gu Wudi's body, a pair of flesh wings were naturally born, inheriting the extraordinary talents of this supreme race.
Absorbing blood power and then inheriting talent is not so easy to do, it is almost impossible, but it has been achieved on this mottled ancient road.
Gu Wudi's mind moved, and the pair of flesh wings behind him flapped violently. Suddenly, lightning flashed, thunder roared, sand and rocks flew. Although they were just born, Gu Wudi felt as if he could use them as easily as his own arms, as if he was born with such a talent.
At this moment, with a pair of flesh wings, his speed is definitely much faster than before. He crushes all creatures in the same realm and is the best in this field. He may even be able to race with the descendants of immortal birds like Kunpeng.
At the beginning, Gu Wudi was curious about controlling the flesh wings and understood how powerful this talent was.
But as time went on, his expression gradually became colder.
The speed talent is not inferior to that of the Kunpeng clan. For a creature aiming to be invincible, this pair of flesh wings is too tempting. If it can be kept, it will be a great advantage when fighting against the enemy in the future.
However, Gu Wudi always remembered that among all kinds of fortune, only the one that suits oneself is the best. Forcing the blood inheritance of others into oneself can indeed bring short-term benefits, but it is also a lock that blocks infinite possibilities in the future.
Things that do not belong to you will sooner or later become shackles on your progress if you keep them.
So, he swung his halberd and cut off the flesh wings on his back with one stroke.
"boom!"
The flesh wings fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain, turning an auspicious green color. They continued to surge and actually evolved into a pair of even more powerful flesh wings.
But Gu Wudi still swung his spear and killed him without hesitation.
He chopped it down five times in a row until the green blood that had entered his body was completely consumed, which then suppressed the regeneration of the flesh wings.
After cutting off the foreign object in his body, Gu Wudi felt a sense of clarity and clarity, and he felt a lot more relaxed. His cultivation in the Rooting Realm naturally reached the state of Great Perfection.
He had a complicated look on his face. Reaching the Great Perfection of the Rooting Realm meant that he would soon reach the Dao Beginning Realm, and he didn't have much time left to think about the future.
Getting rid of the flesh wings, Gu Wudi continued to go deeper into the ancient road.
He hadn't taken two steps when a stream of silver blood rushed up, transformed into a living creature, and pounced towards him, just like the green blood before, doing the same thing.
Even though Gu Wudi was prepared, he was still unable to stop the silver blood from entering his body.
This time, he gained the gift of vertical eyes. A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and a silver vertical eye appeared inside. It has the ability to see through illusions and destroy the void, and it also has some of the same functions as the famous double pupils. It can be said that he has great potential.
As long as it is well developed in the future, it will surely become a trump card that can turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.
However, Gu Wudi still chose to abandon it, because no matter how powerful or extraordinary this talent was, it did not belong to him. It was foreign blood and was not acceptable.
"Pfft!"
Silver blood splattered.
The silver vertical eye was dug out by Gu Wudi, and he did not even blink even though blood was flowing.
Afterwards, the vertical eye regenerated several times and was dug out one by one.
After getting rid of the entanglement of the silver blood, Gu Wudi continued on his way.
Soon, ancient blood of other colors attacked, and the frequency became more and more intense. Sometimes, even five kinds of blood invaded together.
The talents brought by these bloods are strange and varied.
What three heads and six arms, what a thousand eyes, what a golden heart, what golden blood...
Each kind of talent has a great origin, representing some great families that were once glorious and brilliant in the long river of history. Some have become extinct, while some still stand in the world, shining and extremely brilliant.
Gu Wudi took a quick look and realized the power of these talents. At the same time, he kept swinging his halberd to cut off foreign objects.
Although the things that are cut off are foreign objects and not part of the body, they are still connected to the flesh and blood and are perceived as part of the body.
While consuming foreign blood, one's own blood is also being consumed.
So, before long, a feeling of weakness spread from all over, giving Gu Wudi a feeling that his body was hollowed out.
Chapter 98: Sea of Fire
But the ancient road ahead is still very long and endless, and I can’t see where the end is.
At this moment, Gu Wudi really wanted to take some blood-replenishing medicine, because the consumption was too great. With his blood-producing ability at the Great Perfection of the Rooting Realm, he was completely unable to make ends meet.
However, there were mysterious restrictions hidden in the Immortal King's ruins, which prevented him from opening the space magic weapon. He had no choice but to fight hard.
The feeling of weakness came over him, making even such a strong young man feel unsteady under his feet and his head heavy.
At this moment, the Chaos Halberd once again played an important role, acting as a crutch to support his shaky body.
"laugh!"
The colorful blood on both sides continued to leap up and rush towards him. Gu Wudi wanted to stop them and did not want the foreign blood to enter his body again, which would rapidly deplete his energy and blood.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. Not long after, his body was once again invaded by the five kinds of ancient blood, showing super strong five kinds of innate divine powers.
Gu Wudi said nothing, appreciating the splendor of these five talents. In the end, he still swung his halberd to kill them all, because this was not his way.
However, the price of doing so was another loss of a large amount of energy and blood, and Gu Wudi's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He dragged his tired body forward along the long ancient road with determination in his eyes. No matter how against the foreign bloodline, he remained unmoved. Even if it cost him blood, he would cut it off to keep it pure.
Gradually, his body became thin and hunched, his plump cheeks sunken, forming two deep pits, his eye sockets also collapsed, and the eyeballs inside looked protruding and scary, and his long black hair turned dry and gray, without any luster at all.
The original clothes had long been torn to pieces due to the changes in the body, revealing two rows of ribs, and the legs below were like wooden sticks, with only skin and bones left.
At this moment, Gu Wudi was like a mortal who had been hungry for who knows how long, weak, powerless, and skinny.
Soon, the Qi and blood dried up and lost their original vitality, but the foreign blood was still relentless and continued to invade madly.
Gu Wudi didn't even have the heart to appreciate it. He mechanically raised the halberd and swung it down coldly.
Later on, the light in his eyes disappeared, becoming dim and dead. His vision was blurred and he could not distinguish between reality and illusion. He was like a walking corpse, relying on an undying obsession to cross this terrible ancient road. Nothing could stop him.
Suddenly, the gloomy mist dissipated, and the sound of waves lapping against the shore reached his ears. A ray of soft light fell on Gu Wudi's body, bringing life slowly to his dull and gray eyes.
He finally reached the end of the ancient road, and the destination was in sight.
But he couldn't walk fast. His legs were shaking and he took steps unsteadily like two dry tree sticks.
Just as Gu Wudi was about to complete the last leg of the journey, a stream of blood suddenly rushed up from the waves and invaded his body.
"hold head high!"
A loud dragon roar emanated from his skinny body, resounding through the sky.
Gu Wudi was shocked. The feeling of weakness all over his body was completely driven away by this blood. His body began to change. Cold scales appeared on his skin. Long and sharp nails grew on his ten fingers and ten toes. Two long horns sprouted from his forehead, containing enormous power, as if any one of them could break through the universe.
"True dragon bloodline?"
Although Gu Wudi's form after the transformation was far different from the real dragon he imagined, he was sure that this was the bloodline of a real dragon.
All the information flowing through his mind showed that the form he was in at this moment was the ultimate form of the human race evolving towards the true dragon race.
True dragons are the number one race in the world. Once they reach adulthood, they become immortal kings.
All races in the world can evolve towards the direction of true dragons. As long as they can obtain the true name of dragon, the inherent image of the true dragon in the hearts of all living beings will change.
At this moment, Gu Wudi actually showed the ultimate form of human evolution towards the true dragon race, which meant that he had a ticket directly to the realm of Immortal King.
However, he remained unmoved. From the beginning to the end, Gu Wudi's goal was not just to become the Immortal King. There was no shortcut on the road to the highest level and he had to take it step by step.
So he took action, swinging his halberd for the final blow.
