The moment he felt the sinful power, Gu Qingyang knew that the opportunity to attack the fifteenth realm or even the sixteenth realm was right in front of him.
In this life, at the beginning of his practice, he also thought that he was the same as other bone cultivators, and he also thought that he was no different from other people.
But until now, he has already understood that his path of cultivation is destined to be completely different from others, and he is also the most special existence in this world.
Other bone cultivation practices emphasize one step at a time and being down-to-earth, which means breaking through the shackles one after another and cultivating the state of cultivation.
But he is different.
He is the only Bone Cultivator of the Seventeenth Realm in the entire wilderness world from ancient times to the present. Even the name of this realm was decided because of him.
In a sense, he has evolved into a unique creature from the moment he successfully attained enlightenment in his previous life.
They are all reborn and rebuilt, and other bone cultivators are reborn and rebuilt, at most they bring with them some memories and powers related to their own previous lives.
When he was first reborn in this life, Gu Qingyang thought he was just like everyone else. He also thought he just had memories.
But in his later practice, through repeated hardships in life and death, he gradually realized the difference between himself and other living beings.
The higher his cultivation level, the more obvious and eye-catching this feature becomes.
Gradually, he also discovered that as long as he cultivated those realms of cultivation into the so-called "perfect realm", he could become terrifying.
This is because he is just re-walking a path he has already walked.
If others practice simply to obtain new gains, then he practices simply to obtain what originally belongs to him.
His path of spiritual practice is destined to be full of ups and downs, and those ups and downs are like mountains one after another, which seem unattainable.
However... now, there was an opportunity to cross the mountains before him.
As long as he wants to, as long as he is willing to seize this opportunity, he can skyrocket.
The price of doing this is that after the eighth realm, any of his cultivation realms will be destined to never reach the "perfect realm" again.
Correspondingly, as long as he chooses, he can become a terrifying powerhouse in the Sixteenth Realm at any time, and can even be the best among bone cultivators in the Domination Realm.
Of course, the real price is that he will never be qualified to stabilize Seventeen, and he will never be able to use the word "emperor" to refer to himself.
The thunder is still roaring.
Gu Qingyang was silent.
He understood everything clearly and knew what he should do. He is particularly calm when the world expresses confusion about his choice.
Abandon the "Sixteen Realms", a super temptation that no one can refuse, and instead focus on the realm in front of you, just to achieve the so-called "perfection".
This is not the first time he has done something like this. Long before this happened, he had already made a similar choice.
At that time, he was in the Chaotic Abyss of Demons. He refined a stone and refined the power of endless years in two places.
He suppressed and devoured thirty million strange demons.
With that astonishing power, he entered the realm of domination through the devil's path and became a strong man in the realm of domination for a period of time in this life.
Then, he resolutely gave up everything he already owned and chose to burn everything he owned in order to change those two places.
Because of this, the Demonic Chaos Abyss was able to escape from the underworld and officially return to the wild world. And it was because of this that the nameless place was free of strange monsters.
His behavior at that time was enough to awe anyone who saw it.
After all, he gave up the most precious thing in the eyes of others, and then used that thing to buy a bright future for all living beings.
In this way, the cyan blazing sun deep in the underworld becomes the best proof. It was precisely because of this that he was able to have a discussion with the Buddha.
But now, things are still like this.
Once he breaks through the realm, all the results of his past practice will be transformed into Dao marks, manifested from the thunder tribulation, and then engraved on his bones and soul.
A long time ago, he had successfully cultivated Ten Thousand Daos, and had a clear understanding and attainment of various laws of the Dao.
Just because of this reason, the number of his Dao Marks is destined to be extremely large.
What's more, his sinful ways have already evolved to the extreme in the underworld. As long as the cyan blazing sun is still there, he will have endless sinful power.
When he breaks through the seventh realm, because the seventh realm is closely related to the sinful path, this will affect the connection between him and the blazing sun.
Coupled with the influence of the Heavenly Lock, he was unable to successfully obtain those sinful powers.
But things are different now. Now that he has broken the shackles of the eighth realm, it is the time to stabilize his own cultivation.
In this case, the connection between him and the law of the great road will inevitably be further deepened. The consequences of his sins will naturally respond to him.
In this way, he has to accept all this power. This power belongs to him. It's just that he never took it in the past.
But the situation is different now.
Once he broke through the realm, he wanted to create the most perfect eighth realm, and wanted to spend his Thousand Souls Tribulation in the most perfect posture.
Therefore, no matter what avenue it is, as long as he realizes it and cultivates it, he cannot refuse it, because it is his path and fruit.
But after accepting the Tao Fruit, how to use those Tao Fruits is something that he should decide secretly.
This is Gu Qingyang's choice.
He chose to use all his sinful power on himself, to hone his body, temper his soul, and nourish his life bones.
He just doesn't use these powers to improve his cultivation. His cultivation will only be improved when he can't suppress it.
Compared with other people's mentality of eager to travel a thousand miles a day, Gu Qingyang's mentality is - in this life, the mountains are high and the road is long, so you still need to travel slowly.
Of course he knows speed is important too.
But compared to speed, judging from the current situation, he obviously still needs quality more. The kind of perfection he strives for is quality.
Therefore, when thousands of thunders roared past one after another, coming down one by one and striking at his body, his state of mind was extremely peaceful.
He is very calm.
He knew what kind of murderous calamity he was about to face. After those "high mountains", all he saw was a single figure.
That is... the highest heaven.
That was his real opponent, the enemy that he needed to face with all his strength. He knew very well how terrifying the other party's methods were.
There was silence for a long time.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyang roared:
"Highest Heaven!"
"If that's all your power, if that's all your means, then I advise you not to think about killing me."
"If you fail, it will be the life you have arranged for me. If you decide, I am destined to be defeated by this guy like you."
"So--"
"Please come and prove to me how strong you are. Please let me understand what true invincibility is!"
"I will fight against the fate you have arranged for me, and then I will win for you. You can't destroy me in this disaster."
…
The crowd fell silent, and all the bone cultivators were considering whether to retreat first. They know that this matter is completely out of control now.
Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, Gu Qingyang has completely escaped their control and will no longer be suppressed by them.
So although they were silent on the surface, in fact, they had already begun to contact various sects and traditions behind the scenes.
They are asking for instructions on what to do next.
While completing this matter secretly, they were also paying attention to Gu Qingyang's movements. They had already discovered that they could not understand him.
Therefore, when I think of Gu Qingyang. There is more or less a sense of panic in the hearts of these people.
By now, their understanding of the world has long been shattered, to the point where it can no longer be shattered.
Whether they want to admit it or not.
Gu Qingyang... this young man who was not favored by all of them at first has now become a terrifying nightmare deep in their hearts.
So far, everything Gu Qingyang has done makes them feel incredible and makes them feel numb.
All the predictions made by Tianji Shen Pavilion seem to be true. There are such outrageous people in this world.
The moment they heard Gu Qingyang's roars, they were still confused at first.
Because they don't know who the "Supreme Heaven" Gu Qingyang talks about.
But when they followed Gu Qingyang's gaze to the deepest part of the sky, they could vaguely understand who the "Supreme Sky" was.
As a result, the panic in their hearts was replaced by numbness and fear. In just an instant, many people's concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes.
It wasn't until the moment of change that these people who had changed their concepts finally understood that they had never been Gu Qingyang's opponents.
In other words,... they have never been regarded as opponents by Gu Qingyang.
From the beginning to the end, among them, the only one who was really regarded as an opponent by Gu Qingyang was Shijia, right?
Apart from Shijia, they couldn't think of anyone else Gu Qingyang was serious about. So, who is the being that Gu Qingyang regards as his opponent?
The answer is, God.
This is why the numbness deep inside these people arises. Yes... people never regard them as opponents.
So why should they put on a fight-or-die attitude? Moreover, even if they put on that posture, can they succeed?
In the past, they still had this confidence.
Looking at it now, compared to those aspirations that sound empty and grand, their wish has become "to live".
Maybe it started from that moment, maybe it started from an earlier time... Gu Qingyang has completely changed in their eyes.
In the past, they would have felt that "Gu Qingyang" was the person they had to kill.
They will feel that they still have the strength to kill this child, and they have this confidence.
But now, Gu Qingyang is no longer their enemy in their hearts.
Because they themselves are willing to acquiesce, they are not worthy.
It’s no wonder they were there. Gu Qingyang was clearly just a person who had just broken through to the eighth realm, but he actually had a power comparable to that of a sixteenth-level bone cultivator.
Is this kind of person really someone they can defeat with all their efforts? They are not so arrogant that they think they are invincible.
They have a clear understanding of their own strength.
Among these people, the most desperate one is Sakya.
Shi Jia can be regarded as the person who knows Gu Qingyang best among these people. He and Gu Qingyang do not have many interactions, and this is the second time they meet.
But he has a strong ability to see into people's hearts, and he can see through part of Gu Qingyang's heart. Therefore, he knew how terrifying Gu Qingyang was.
It was probably true that Gu Qingyang would destroy the world. When he first heard this prophecy, he didn't believe it.
But with this second encounter, as he and Gu Qingyang had a semi-discussing argument, he believed the prophecy.
Because Gu Qingyang doesn't love all living beings.
Because Gu Qingyang doesn’t love this world even more.
In a sense, even if all living beings were destroyed and the world was completely destroyed, Gu Qingyang would never care at all.
Because what Gu Qingyang cares about most is something that has been abandoned by the world, that is, the truly supreme avenue.
He is Sakya, and he has great compassion.
He is respected as the Strange Buddha and also as the Son of Buddha. He deserves this title because he truly has a Buddhist heart.
And what about Gu Qingyang?
Gu Qingyang was called a big devil by the world, and he was also treated as a big devil by the world. It can be said that he received a lot of cold looks.
But Gu Qingyang didn't care about all that. What Gu Qingyang pursued was nothing more than two words, Tao and love.
At some point, Shijia really felt that Gu Qingyang was just a mortal.
Because the seven emotions and six desires that mortals have have existed in Qingyang since ancient times, and they have never faded away.
In the eyes of other bone cultivators, these things are of course rubbish. Other bone cultivators have always been eager to completely obliterate "love".
But Gu Qingyang regarded these things as his own treasures and hid them deeply, never showing them to others easily.
Shijia is puzzled by this approach.
However, this is Gu Qingyang's pursuit of love. In addition, Gu Qingyang actually has a pursuit of Tao that many bone cultivators have never had.
These two pursuits are really two extremes. One is yearning for extreme degradation and negativity, and the other is yearning for extreme sublimation and transformation...
In the past few years, Shijia's understanding of Gu Qingyang has become deeper and deeper.
Shi Jiazhen often wonders whether there are several personalities in Gu Qingyang's body. Otherwise, why would Gu Qingyang be so strange?
But at this moment...it doesn't matter what the answers to these questions are, or whether these questions really exist.
Because even if you know the answer, it means nothing.
After all, Gu Qingyang resolutely chose the devil, completely standing on the opposite side of the way of heaven, and became a real person who defied heaven.
What Shijia cares about most is not this. What Shijia cares about most is... In this case, doesn't this mean that Gu Qingyang is going to embark on the road of annihilation?
"well--"
"The devil's body will last forever."
"Another endless calamity for the common people."
After being silent for a long time, Shijia, who was extremely pale, suddenly sighed. His voice was extremely hoarse and sounded very weak.
Hearing Shijia's sigh, everyone present looked sad.
Their state of mind has indeed changed a lot, but they are still them after all.
Now that things have happened, they suddenly have a different understanding of the four characters of "Destroying Demons and Defending the Way". Unfortunately, their realization came too late.
"Boom boom boom!"
At the same moment, countless silver-white thunderbolts intertwined together, turned into waterfalls in the eyes of everyone who was extremely shocked, and rushed towards Gu Qingyang.
Obviously, the Supreme Heaven was also truly angry.
Logically speaking, a catastrophe for an eighth-level bone cultivator should not be so terrifying. But who said it was Gu Qingyang who overcame the tribulation?
Zhigao Tian still had some sense at first, but Gu Qingyang repeatedly provoked him and angered him through the details of his words and deeds.
So... until now, Supreme Innocence really doesn't plan to let Gu Qingyang go any further.
Today, he just wanted to see whether his Demon-Destroying Heavenly Tribulation was more powerful, or whether Gu Qingyang, the peerless demon, was more terrifying.
Therefore, when the sky thunder gathered and came again, the Supreme Heaven did not choose to let it turn into a thunder beam to continue suppressing Gu Qingyang.
The Supreme Heaven's choice is that since it is coming, let's have a hearty one, one that Gu Qingyang can't bear no matter what.
Therefore, the Supreme Heaven directly poured out all the power of thunder, turning it into a waterfall to attack everything in Gu Qingyang.
Body, soul, life bone!
These three most important things, the Supreme Heaven will destroy them at the same time, so that Gu Qingyang will be completely wiped out from this world.
Because of this, Gu Qingyang had half of his body destroyed and many Dao marks destroyed the moment he came into contact with the thunder waterfall.
"Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra!"
Feeling the terrifying destructive power, Gu Qingyang did not forget to raise his head and glare at the sky while encountering destruction.
Gu Qingyang gritted his teeth and stared there, letting the blood flow from the wounds all over his body, and let out a roar that shook the heaven and the earth.
At the same moment, as he deduced the Tai Cang Ku Rong Sutra with all his strength, he also deduced thousands of avenues.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of many bone cultivators, Gu Qingyang's remnant body actually glowed with life again, constantly fighting against those thunders.
At the same time, the Dao marks representing various avenues began to derive at an extremely fast speed, and were then completely refined by Gu Qingyang.
"Ten thousand Dao, ten thousand Dao marks!"
"Oh my God, is this kid a monster?"
"Look, the number is still rising."
"One hundred thousand ways, one hundred thousand ways!"
The crowd was excited. This was the first time they had seen such a terrifying sight. Ten thousand Dao marks, what is this concept?
An ordinary eighth-level bone cultivator can be considered a strong person if he can cultivate a few hundred paths. And those who can have those thousands of ways are geniuses.
Not to mention this terrifying number of one hundred thousand.
But...the number is still increasing!
…
