In the past few decades, Unfeeling Douluo had been the one to enter the Abyssal Plane the most. Time and again, he traversed between the two worlds, and on multiple occasions, he had even assassinated Abyssal Kings himself, instigating internal chaos in certain abyssal layers and buying Blood God Army precious time to recover and grow stronger.
So, capturing this relatively lower-ranked Six-Clawed Demon Emperor felt almost effortless for him.
"Gu Yue."
A calm voice reached Gu Yue's ears. He turned his head to look at the source—it was Unfeeling Douluo, standing right beside him.
"Come with me." As he spoke, Unfeeling Douluo reached out and placed a hand on Gu Yue's shoulder. In the blink of an eye, Gu Yue felt an incredibly sharp aura burst forth from the man's body, and in the next instant, it was as if he had entered a bizarre, distorted world.
Everything around him was twisted, yet imbued with a kind of cutting edge. It was... sword intent?
This peculiar sword domain felt alive, connected to the surrounding space, and carried them freely through the folds of dimension.
A faint smile played across Unfeeling Douluo's lips.
"Gu Yue, next, use your Golden Dragon Spear to stab into that abyssal creature's body. We must test whether it can be truly killed. If your body can't withstand the devouring process, inform me immediately."
'Devour... an Abyssal King?'
'That sounds incredible!'
Excitement surged through Gu Yue's heart. Free energy? This was practically a gift from the heavens!
These thoughts had only just emerged when suddenly his surroundings lit up. He and Unfeeling Douluo appeared within a secluded, isolated dimension.
All around them swirled chaotic currents and vaporous clouds. And looming ahead was the massive figure of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor.
The creature seemed confused and out of place. It had no idea what had happened or where it was.
But the moment Gu Yue and Unfeeling Douluo appeared, it roared in fury. Six claws lashed out, causing the very air to twist and distort.
However, just then, the surrounding mist condensed into chains of light, wrapping around the demon's enormous body and instantly neutralizing its outburst.
Unfeeling Douluo flicked his wrist, and a simple longsword materialized mid-air. As it floated upward, it split into two, then four, until four sharp blades surrounded the demon's head, anchoring the space around it in place.
"Gu Yue, now."
Gu Yue didn't hesitate in the slightest.
The Golden Dragon Spear materialized in his hand, and he lunged straight toward the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor.
Sixteen compound eyes glinted across the demon's forehead. At first, they showed disdain. But as the spear approached, that arrogance was quickly replaced by shock—and then terror.
As the Golden Dragon Spear pierced into its chest, Gu Yue could feel a powerful resistance. But that resistance was quickly overcome as the spear vibrated, glowing with radiant white light. White rings of energy expanded from Gu Yue's grip, wrapping around his arm and surging into his body.
Gu Yue's body trembled, then jolted violently as an overwhelming wave of energy flooded into him.
His Dragon Core began pounding, greedily drawing in the abyssal creature's immense life force.
As the vital energy poured into him, even his Soul Core began to radiate brilliance.
Both his Dragon Core and Soul Core lit up together. The Soul Core became increasingly transparent and brilliant, its rhombus-shaped facets multiplying with the inflow of energy, becoming more radiant with each new cut.
Meanwhile, his Dragon Core pulsed like a second heart, each contraction swallowing vast waves of energy and pumping it into his bloodstream, circulating it throughout his entire body.
Gu Yue felt his cultivation erupt upward, expanding as though he were being inflated.
'Eighty-sixth rank...'
'What...?'
Unfeeling Douluo stood silently beside him, watching both Gu Yue and the demon with a calm gaze.
The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor's eyes were now filled with fear. It had clearly sensed that its abyssal energy was being absorbed—being consumed by a mere human.
'Impossible... this is impossible!'
Fear blossomed, escalating rapidly. If this continued, it wouldn't just lose energy—it would die.
'No! I must escape! I must break free and return to the Abyss! Only there do I have a chance of revival!'
As these thoughts took root, the demon's body began to tremble violently. Deep within it, a strange purple glow emerged, and its massive form began collapsing inward.
"Mm?" Unfeeling Douluo's eyes narrowed. He waved his hand, and another ancient sword shot forward, pinning the demon's body in place and slowing its collapse.
"Gu Yue, hurry! It's trying to self-destruct!"
Having dealt with abyssal kings before, Unfeeling Douluo knew their tricks well. Once a king died, its abyssal energy would attempt to escape and return to the Abyssal Plane. Given how penetrative that energy was, not even Mirror Douluo's domains could contain it fully. If it escaped, the king could eventually revive, making their efforts meaningless.
Suddenly, the surrounding space began to ripple violently.
Blood One, on high alert, waved his hand. The four swords encircling the demon's head surged with light, slicing across space itself.
Yet within the demon's body, space energy exploded violently, imploding its form into itself.
"Heheheh... pitiful humans... did you really think this was enough to kill the great Six-Clawed Demon Emperor? No matter how powerful an individual is, how can you defy the will of an entire plane..."
Its mocking voice echoed out as its body twisted and folded inward.
But at that very moment, Gu Yue's eyes sharpened.
'No. I won't let you go.'
With a roar, his Golden Dragon Spear exploded with white-gold brilliance. His Dragon Core throbbed like thunder. The soul force within him surged to its peak, compressing into the tip of the spear. He thrust again—this time with his full might.
The spear's tip ignited with a divine pulse. Like a sacred seal, it pierced through the final resistance of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor and drilled deep into its core.
A high-pitched screech echoed through the space, the demon's compound eyes bulging in horror.
"No—!"
Its final cry was silenced as the spear pulsed again.
A blinding pillar of light shot up, swallowing the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor whole. Its body dissolved, atomized by the intense divine power.
Inside Gu Yue's body, the Dragon Core and Soul Core began a furious revolution.
More and more abyssal energy was devoured and converted. His veins glowed white, like celestial rivers running beneath his skin. The spiritual energy within him had reached a point of uncontainable saturation.
Then, a boom.
A threshold shattered.
'Eighty-seven!'
The breakthrough was unmistakable. Not merely a number—but a qualitative leap.
And the abyssal king's final scream was nothing but a dying echo in a world no longer its own.
