Chapter 1042 - One Life For Thousands

The fellow elders of Elder Pigu watched everything with pained hearts.

They were slower than him for the time being and weren't able to assist him at that time. But Elder Pigu never had the intention to take any help. He was ready to exchange his single life with hundreds of thousands of others.

~CLANG~

~BOOM~

~DENG~

Various spirit tools and talismans exploded as they were unable to bear the might of Elder Pigu's final attack. The last Deep Blue flame he had sent out contained the final wisps of his life and increased its power by several times.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member let out a yell as he tried to resist the attack.

He was the weakest among all the current Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members that had come here, and could barely be considered a step into it. Considering his and Elder Pigu's power, they were almost the same.

If it were not for the Dao Embryo, the man had birthed, he would be eliminated instantly.

"This can't be!! I won't accept this!!!" The Gu Legion member shouted.

Gritting his his teeth, he summoned his Dao Shell, and along with it, his Dao Embryo!

When the two objects appeared, the last defensive spirit tool he had used broke apart.

~WHOOSH~

The flames rushed towards him, threatening to devour him. One could even the several faces in the flames. But in the next moment, they would disappear. They looked like a hallucination, and all the faces were of none other than Elder Pigu.

The faces were filled with rage that powered the fire.

"DAO SHELL! DEFEND!" The Dao Treading Realm Gu Legion elder called out.

The Dao Shell shot forward to protect him. But looking at the Dao Shell, one could tell that it wasn't particularly normal. It was of a strange muddy brown color and mixed in it were gray splotches.

The Dao Embryo lying within it couldn't even be seen easily. The Dao Shell too wasn't that big, being merely 90 centimeters in diameter. This was smaller than a lot of Dao Shell's, since most cultivators would try to expand theirs to at least a meter wide.

Perhaps only those that ended their Dao Shell realm at the Shell completion stage would be at this point. At this man was the same, having been pushed to the Dao Treading realm in some strange way.

~shua~

The Dao Shell let out a light which turned into a dome. The illusory dome acted as a shield and blocked the tongues of deep blue flames. But even then, it didn't seem to be enough…

~CRACK~

"WHAT?!" The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member was stunned.

The Shield created by his Dao Shell had actually developed his crack.

'Didn't they say that Dao Treading realm cultivators were supreme? No one could challenge them easily and those below them could only die like worms. Then how?! HOWWWWW!?' The Gu Legion member shouted in his mind.

Gritting his teeth, he knew he now had no choice. The cracks were starting to spread on his Dao Shell's shield and the deep blue flames didn't show any signs of slowing down.

"DAO EMBRYO! RISE!" The Gu Legion member shouted.

He knew that using his Dao Embryo prematurely like this will probably stunt his cultivation right here. But he didn't care for that anyway. He was already a man who had lost his way in cultivation and was unable to progress past the Dao Shell realm in the past.

He couldn't even expand his Dao Shell and was stuck in the Shell completion stage. He was possibly one of the weakest Dao Shell realm cultivators and his lifelong dream was to reach the Dao Treading Realm.

He thought that he would be forever unable to and now he had finally achieved his goal. With the help of his lord, he rose. And he fully intended on fulfilling his lord's goals since his own had been completed.

Such was the dedication that was incited within him by his lord Gu Yao!

~RUMBLE~

A strange sound was heard coming from the Dao Shell of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member. It trembled and let out a cry!

~SKREEE~

Then in the next moment, cracks appeared on the Dao Shell!

This was a shocking thing and if it happened to anyone else, it would be the same as their cultivation base regressing or even getting crippled!

And yet, the cultivation base of the Gu Legion member seemed to stay the same.

The Dao Shell continued to crack, and if one looked closely, they would see that the cracks were not spreading randomly. Rather, the crack was a smooth circular crack that covered the top of the Dao Shell.

Then… as if a lid had been opened, the top of the Dao Shell rose.

~slick~

A strange, uncomfortable sound came from it as a gooey mass flew out of it. A brown tarry liquid wiggled and writhed in the air.

"Unholy Blood Puddle! Consume!" The Gu Legion member ordered.

~SKWEE~

This strange brown tarry liquid was none other than the Dao Embryo! And it was called as the Unholy Blood Puddle!

The Dao Embryo suddenly expanded and turned into a large curtain. The curtain exceeded past the limits of the shield made by the Dao Shell and covered it. But it didn't stop there either.

The muddy curtain continued to spread and went past the deep blue flames, covering them entirely.

~SLACK~

Then as if a large mouth had been closed, the mud curtain closed its seams and shut the Deep Blue Flames within it. The flames tried to escape and released great heat, and yet they were unable to do anything.

The bulging mass of curtain wiggled, trying to contain the deep blue flames. After a few seconds, it finally calmed down and the bulge flattened. Once that was done, the curtain shrank and turned back into the original form of the Unholy Blood Puddle.

It quickly returned to the Dao Shell as if afraid.
