Chapter 48 - But wasn't he just a C-grade talent?!

"Not good!"

As the situation continued to be in a deadlock, the First gen Gu Yue suddenly shouted. Shadows of iron chains had suddenly appeared around his entire body.

These shadows immediately turned from virtual into reality, and formed into long iron chains. These chains were like snakes and pythons as they coiled around First gen Gu Yue, binding his hands and feet.

A talisman paper also gradually appeared and stuck right between the First gen Gu Yue's eyes.

Bang.

First gen Gu Yue was bound by the iron chains; he could no longer stretch his wings and thus he fell smashing down onto the ground.

Such an unexpected scene not only shocked the First gen Gu Yue, but it also caused Sky Crane Lord to be shocked.

High above the battlefield, a young man soared through the sky, massive four-meter-wide wings stretched out behind him. His gaze was icy as it locked onto the First Generation Gu Yue.

He shifted his eyes briefly toward Lord Sky Crane, then turned back—not directly at the First Gen Gu Yue, but toward the space behind him. There, Bai Ning Bing stood, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him. The surrounding Gu Yue clan members were just as stunned, recognizing the youth in midair.

It was none other than Fang Yuan.

"This is the Demon Suppression Iron Chain Gu and the Problem Nipped in the Bud Gu. Young man, let's eliminate this demon together!" Lord Sky Crane called out, addressing Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan paid him no attention. With a calm expression, he slowly descended from the sky, drawing shocked and confused stares from the members of the Gu Yue clan below.

"That's Fang Yuan!!"

"How is this possible?"

"He's already Rank 5?! But wasn't he just a C-grade talent?!"

"What is happening to this world... he's not even eighteen and already this strong?! Oh heavens!"

"Big Brother…" Fang Zheng murmured in disbelief, watching Fang Yuan descend like a divine figure from the heavens.

"You?!"

"You… you bear the blood of the Gu Yue Clan," First Gen Gu Yue muttered, startled. He could sense the bloodline connection—and even more astonishing, he could faintly detect Fang Yuan's aptitude. It was terrifyingly close to being one of the legendary Extreme Physiques.

But his astonishment quickly turned to fury.

"You traitor!" he roared. "Instead of saving your own clansmen, you side with the enemy?!"

Fang Yuan simply snorted. In the next instant, he vanished from sight—and reappeared beside Bai Ning Bing.

Bai Ning Bing, now a Rank 3 Peak Stage Gu Master, had seen Fang Yuan before. Unlike their last encounter, he didn't flinch or stumble backward. Though inwardly shocked, he held his ground as Fang Yuan's gaze met his.

Without a word, Fang Yuan said, "Plunder Gu."

Understanding instantly, Bai Ning Bing produced a Gu Worm and handed it to him. Fang Yuan, unleashing the full might of his Rank 5 aura, suppressed the Gu Worm and refined it on the spot.

Though it all seemed like a drawn-out series of events, only ten seconds had passed since Fang Yuan had first appeared on the battlefield.

...

First gen Gu Yue was trying to resist, but he fell into an absolute disadvantage.

There were many shortcomings when turning one's body into a blood wight. He should have already died according to his original lifespan, but he lived on by defying the heavens, so how could there not be any price to pay?

The Demon Suppression Iron Chain Gu not only bound his whole body, but the phantom image of the black iron chain also appeared within his aperture and sealed it.

The primeval sea surged like boiling water and many Gu worms flew around in the aperture, resisting the suppression of the Demon Suppression Iron Chain Gu.

With this, the First gen Gu Yue's primeval essence expenditure became extremely huge.

First gen Gu Yue was on the verge of death!

The primeval essence in his primeval sea quickly decreased and once it was completely used up, his Gu worms would have no primeval essence to resist the suppression of the Demon Suppression Iron Chain Gu. Once this happened, Problem Nipped in the Bud Gu would start extracting the Gu worms and sealing them. That would truly be the end!

First gen Gu Yue shouted in panic, "Quick, lend me a hand! Grab the eyebrows and activate your primeval essence."

"Let's help!"

"Help the first ancestor!!"

"Let's go."

A large group of Gu Masters went to help – not only from Gu Yue clan, but even Bai and Xiong clan.

Suddenly, a swift blade sliced through the area, eliminating anyone who attempted to approach the First Gen Gu Yue, claiming the lives of individuals not only from the Gu Yue clan but also from the Bai and Xiong clans.

"You traitor!" Gu Yue clan people shouted at Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan didn't pay them any heed.

First gen Gu Yue was bound by the iron chains while the white eyebrows had also coiled up around him and the Problem Nipped in the Bud Gu on his forehead was swaying; there was already very few primeval essence left in his aperture.

Suddenly the Problem Nipped in the Bud Gu let out a faint yellow light and slowly extracted a ball of yellow light from First gen Gu Yue's aperture.

This yellow light was bigger than a fist but smaller than a basin. It slowly floated down on the ground, and only a faint glimmer of the yellow light remained.

A Gu that looked like a crystal skull showed up. The Gu was like a skull of a child that could fit on a palm, and the skull was like a crystal filled with reddish bloodstripes.

"Blood Skull Gu! After hundreds of years, I finally get to see you again!" Sky Crane Lord looked on from a distance and wept tears of joy; he was extremely moved.

Fang Yuan focused his will, activating Plunder Gu as he pointed directly at First Generation Gu Yue's aperture.

Moments later, a scarlet Gu worm emerged—its form like a translucent sphere of blood-tinged water.

But Fang Yuan didn't stop there.

Again and again, he triggered Plunder Gu, extracting more of First Gen Gu Yue's core Gu: Blood Guillotine Gu, Blood Frenzy Gu, and Yin-Yang Gu. Each Gu was plundered from First Gen Gu Yue's aperture like a death sentence delivered in silence.

Enraged, First Gen Gu Yue roared, "Kill him! Everyone, kill him now!"

But Fang Yuan's voice cut through the chaos—calm, cold, and final.

"It's over."

He patted briefly on Bai Ning Bing's shoulder, then cast an icy glance at the helpless First Gen Gu Yue before shifting his eyes toward Lord Sky Crane, who was creeping toward the Blood Skull Gu, greed gleaming in his eyes.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan activated Wind Blade Gu.

A razor-thin slash of air exploded through the space—

Shlick!

Sky Crane Lord's arm was severed cleanly at the wrist just as his fingers brushed the Blood Skull Gu.

"AAAHHH!" His scream echoed through the sky, raw with shock and agony. He stumbled back, clutching his bleeding stump, eyes wide with disbelief.

He hadn't even seen it. He hadn't even sensed it.

What had cut him? What Gu had this youth used? The questions screamed through his mind.

Fang Yuan gave him no more thought. With a single step, he vanished.

In the next moment, he stood beside the Blood Skull Gu and calmly, he picked it up.

Under the overwhelming suppression of multiple Rank 5 Gu, he began refining it. Within a minute, the Gu was refined.

After he stored it into his aperture, he turned toward the people gathered behind First Gen Gu Yue.

A smirk played across his lips as a flash of blade light streaked through the air.

In an instant, First Gen Gu Yue—still restrained by Demon Suppression Iron Chain Gu and Problem Nipped in the Bud Gu—was beheaded cleanly. His head fell, expression frozen in disbelief.

Using the combined power of Blood Skull Gu, Blood Sucker Gu, and Starlight Gu, he activated a killer move.

"Killer Move: Bloody Stars," Fang Yuan whispered.

Suddenly, snow-white petals resembling stars began to fall across the battlefield.

And then—

BOOM!

Each petal detonated in a chain reaction of crimson light and blood-soaked explosions.

Screams were swallowed in the blast. Flesh was torn asunder. Blood rained upward.

When the smoke cleared, not a single person remained alive—except Bai Ning Bing, who was spared by Fang Yuan for a reason.

From the sea of corpses, blood began to surge upward, forming streams that circled around Fang Yuan like a crimson halo. As it tried to pour into his aperture, he calmly intercepted it—sealing it all away in Tusita Flower.
