As Gu Zheng continued to 'escape', the number of monsters had exceeded 3,000, and there was one more Sky Traversing Ship. However, there were no more monsters flying out from the bottom of the canyon.
"More than 3,000 monsters. It's enough for me to use the Path of Death once."
Gu Zheng, who was flying, stopped and looked at the monsters chasing after him with a sneer on his face.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng roared. This time, he didn't call these monsters' evil creatures'. Anyway, the activation of the Path of Death was just that capricious. As long as they were moved by Gu Zheng's voice, which represented the Path of Death, they would be doomed.
The activation of the Path of Death made the scene in the Scarred Canyon look like the end of the world. The monsters that were flying in the air all had an aura of death above their heads, and they all fell down one by one. Such a terrifying scene scared even the two Mud Spirits so much that they didn't dare to move forward.
With the activation of the Path of Death, the three thousand monsters were almost completely wiped out. This shocking scene naturally alarmed the monster controlling the core of the formation. It hurriedly changed the formation again, causing the barrier at the bottom of the canyon to rapidly melt away. The monsters that were originally hiding below immediately flew out and replenished the blood of their own formation.
Gu Zheng had already released Meow Meow and the others. The battle had already begun in the void. Gu Zheng's first target was the two Sky Traversing Ships.
Compared to the two Mud Spirits that could fly, Gu Zheng felt that the Sky Traversing Ships were less of a threat, so he wanted to get rid of them first.
Previously, Gu Zheng had seen Maitreya attack the Sky Traversing Ship. When his prayer beads smashed the Sky Traversing Ship, they could only dent the metal of the Sky Traversing Ship, but they couldn't break the ship. From this, one could see how sturdy the Sky Traversing Ship was.
However, the Sky Traversing Ship that was difficult for Maitreya to deal with was not that difficult for Gu Zheng. After Gu Zheng flew near the hatch of the Sky Traversing Ship, he immediately activated the Path of True Gold.
Under the effect of the True Gold Dao, the cabin door of the Heaven Traversing Ship began to deform at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, when Gu Zheng waved his hand, it left the ship.
During the first Chaos Tribulation, the Heaven-traversing Boats were the warships of the invading forces. Every single Heaven-traversing Boat could hold many people. The Wyrm King Palace that Gu Zheng had visited before was a sunken Heaven-traversing Boat. From this, one could tell how big it was. However, now wasn't the time for external forces to invade. Naturally, there wouldn't be too many monsters in the Sky Traversing Ship.
After Gu Zheng entered the ship, he was immediately attacked by the ship itself. Many beams of light shot out from the inside of the ship. It looked as if they wanted to turn Gu Zheng into a beehive.
The destructive power of the light beam was extraordinary. Even an early stage Quasi-Saint would have to be cautious when facing it. However, Gu Zheng was not in the early stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm, nor was he an ordinary Quasi-Sage. He completely ignored these light rays. They were absorbed into his body the moment they touched his body and transformed into his own energy.
With a thought, Gu Zheng divided his Divine Thought.
Because he had been to the Wyrm King Palace, Gu Zheng knew where the control center of the Heaven-traversing Boat was. Since the Divine Thought could fly faster than his body, he wanted to sink this Heaven-traversing Boat as quickly as possible. After all, Die Ling and the others were still fighting outside. Besides the Heaven-traversing Boat and the two Mud Spirits, there were also monsters that flew up from the bottom of the canyon.
"Buzz buzz …"
A strange sound was heard in the air. Countless golden light balls suddenly appeared. They were connected by light rays and instantly formed a light net in the air. It blocked Gu Zheng's Divine Thought from approaching the control center.
In the mysterious space of the Undercurrent Sea, Gu Zheng had encountered various arrangements that could block Divine Thought. He didn't expect that the Heaven-traversing Boat would have the same defense.
Since his Divine Thought couldn't pass through, Gu Zheng's body immediately rushed over. The light rays could block Gu Zheng's Divine Thought but not his body. When Gu Zheng touched it, it was absorbed by Gu Zheng's Yin-Yang Immortal Ball.
The two demons charged towards Gu Zheng. They were only at the Demon Monarch realm. Gu Zheng waved Tang Mo in his hand and slashed out two saber beams that were imbued with the Five Elements Transformations. The two demons were immediately beheaded.
Gu Zheng rushed forward as fast as he could. Although the interior of the Heaven-traversing Boat was very spacious, he was finally close to the control center. During this time, Gu Zheng encountered several waves of attacks from the inside of the Heaven-traversing Boat. However, he easily resolved them.
Silently, two Spiritual Bodies that were almost invisible to the naked eye appeared in front of Gu Zheng. They launched invisible attacks at Gu Zheng at the same time.
Spiritual Bodies were relatively strange. Many normal methods were useless against them. However, these two Spiritual Bodies were even more strange. They were the kind that Tang Mo couldn't devour.
Although they were strange, the invisible attacks of the Spiritual Bodies could only restrain the Early Stage of the Sage-to-be. The pain and tumbling feeling in the stomach were easily resolved by Gu Zheng's Yin-Yang Immortal Ball.
Gu Zheng's footsteps did not stop at all as he charged towards the two spiritual bodies with a ruthless look on his face.
"Since the two of you are so special, I'll give you special treatment. Five-colored Divine Light!"
With a thought, Gu Zheng displayed the Five-colored Divine Light, which belonged to Kong Xuan of the Five Elements Immortal Technique. It directly wiped out the two strange Spiritual Bodies.
Because his control of the Five Elements Dao was only at the Intermediate Level, Gu Zheng's Five-colored Divine Light was not as powerful as Kong Xuan's. However, it was more than enough to deal with the two Spiritual Bodies blocking his way.
Without any obstacles, Gu Zheng finally arrived outside the control center of the Heaven-traversing Boat.
Once again, the True Gold Dao was activated. Gu Zheng broke open the closed door of the control center.
"Phew …"
A putrid green demonic fire spewed out from the control center. The Demon Emperor who was controlling the Heaven-traversing Boat naturally knew that Gu Zheng had arrived.
Gu Zheng instantly understood that this poisonous green demonic fire wasn't worth absorbing and converting. Red and green light from the Five-colored Divine Light behind him activated at the same time. The strange demonic fire was also brushed away by him.
The Demon Emperor in the control center was already at the Intermediate Level. Although Gu Zheng couldn't wipe it out with the Five-colored Divine Light, the Five-colored Divine Light was not the only Divine Ability he had mastered.
Gu Zheng threw a punch at the Demon Emperor. A huge shadow of a fist immediately flew out.
The shadow of the fist wasn't made of Immortal Energy, nor was it the energy of Heaven and Earth that Gu Zheng had manipulated. It was formed from the light energy that Gu Zheng had absorbed after breaking into the Heaven-traversing Boat. Therefore, it was very bright and dazzling. It seemed as if it could dispel all the darkness in the world.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from the control center. Although Gu Zheng's punch didn't kill the Demon Emperor, the resulting shockwave still destroyed some of the control center's things. The Heaven-traversing Boat fell down as a result.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng swung his saber again. The Demon Emperor, who had returned to its original form and looked like a strange snake, had its head chopped off by Gu Zheng's saber.
"Plop!"
The loud noise made the space tremble. The mud from the falling Heaven-traversing Boat flew up a thousand feet into the air.
After the mud splashed up, another figure rushed out of the mud. It was Gu Zheng, who had shot down the Heaven-traversing Boat.
Looking at the battle in the air, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was in the Heaven-traversing Boat, Gu Zheng was indeed worried that some new variables would appear and that Meow Meow and the others wouldn't be able to deal with them. However, the variables that he was worried about didn't appear. Meow Meow and the others now had the upper hand!
Apart from the Heaven-traversing Boat and the two Mud Spirits, there were more than three hundred monsters. However, under the influence of Meow Meow's "bewitchment," these monsters had all changed sides and were attacking the two Mud Spirits in a frenzy.
According to Gu Zheng's judgment, by the time he took care of the last Heaven-traversing Boat, one of the two Mud Spirits should have been taken care of by Meow Meow and the others.
The hatch of the last Heaven-traversing Boat was torn down by the Path of True Metal, and Gu Zheng entered it in a flash.
Whoosh …
In the face of so many attacks, the two Mud Spirits spun in the air at the same time. Their huge bodies turned into a curtain of light, and the strong wind generated by their rotation carried a strong destructive force that swept away everything in their surroundings.
Mud Spirits were very powerful to begin with, and although these two Mud Spirits were much smaller in size, they were different from the original gray ones. Their bodies were golden, and their defensive power was much stronger than that of the huge ones! Although they had been attacked many times in a row, judging from the wounds on their bodies, they hadn't been seriously injured yet.
The immense strength of the Mud Spirits had reached the level of Dao. If it weren't for the fact that the space in the Scarred Canyon had been stabilized by the immortal formation, the attacks launched by their rotating bodies would have definitely spread the black hole in the air like flames.
Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, more than half of the monsters that had been bewitched by Meow Meow were killed by the spinning bodies of the Mud Spirits, and one of the two Mud Spirits finally stopped its crazy rotation.
The reason the Mud Spirit stopped its crazy rotation wasn't because it was softhearted, but because it had been forced to stop by the attacks launched by Meow Meow and the others.
"Pfft …"
The stopped Mud Spirit spat out mud at Meow Meow and the others, which seemed to be endless in its stomach.
Under the influence of the Mud Spirit's enormous strength, even ordinary mud would make people have to be careful, so Meow Meow and the others could only choose to temporarily avoid the attack.
Seeing Meow Meow and the others dodge the attack again, the Mud Spirit couldn't help but let out a furious roar, full of madness.
Indeed, the Mud Spirit really wanted to go crazy. The ability to restrict space was one of its major methods. Using this method to force the enemy into the swamp and then devour them was an extremely effective method. But since encountering the disciples of the Celestial Dance Sect, this method no longer worked, because they could restrict space. The disciples of the Celestial Dance Sect could use the Spirit Dance to nullify the restriction.
Looking angrily at Fairy Qixuan, who was dancing in the distance, the Mud Spirit opened its mouth and spat out a beam of golden light. It was actually using its inner core to attack Fairy Qixuan.
An attack launched with an inner core was usually considered a powerful attack by monsters! Even though the space in the canyon had been stabilized, spatial cracks still followed the Mud Spirit's inner core as it flew. This was enough to show that the Mud Spirit's attack was no small matter.
"Good!"
Seeing the Mud Spirit spit out the inner core, the angry man couldn't help but applaud.
The angry man who had always coveted the Mud Spirit's inner core didn't put the destructive power of the Mud Spirit's inner core in his eyes at all. With a frown, his body that had been modified by that damned thing trembled. The metal thorns on his body suddenly flashed and a net of light flew out and wrapped around the Mud Spirit's inner core.
The inner core wasn't willing to be bound by the net of light. It crashed back and forth in the net of light. The angry man bit the tip of his tongue and spat at the net of light. The net of light immediately shrunk at a terrifying speed.
"Wu …"
The Mud Spirit let out a strange cry. The inner core was bound by the net of light, which made it feel a strong sense of crisis. It wanted to get closer to the inner core, but the butterfly spirit that had revealed its true form repeatedly used its dragon claws to scratch its eyes, forcing it to stop and defend.
With only a slight delay, the net of light had shrunk to the point where it tightly wrapped around the inner core. The inner core's light dimmed and flew uncontrollably towards the angry man's hand.
"Wu …"
The Mud Spirit that had lost its inner core wailed. This was definitely a fatal injury to it. Its body quickly fell down, wanting to return to the swamp.
"Ao …"
The dragon's roar shook the valley. How could the butterfly spirit let the Mud Spirit do as it wished? The Mud Spirit wasn't easy to deal with when it had its inner core, but now that it had lost its inner core, its original strength had decreased by at least 80%. How could it be a match for the butterfly spirit?
The butterfly spirit's dragon claws all pierced into the Mud Spirit's body, stopping it from falling down. If the Mud Spirit didn't lose its inner core and its body was strong because of the inner core, it would be impossible for the butterfly spirit to stab its dragon claws into the Mud Spirit's body! But now, not only did the butterfly spirit do it, it even used brute force after a dragon's roar and tore the Mud Spirit's body apart!
Blood filled the sky as the Mud Spirit's body parts fell down. The death of its comrade also caused the other Mud Spirit to let out a strange cry. When its comrade was in trouble, it wanted to save it, but Meow Meow who had also revealed its true form didn't let it do as it wished.
Now that it had lost its comrade and was left alone, its first reaction was to sink into the swamp.
"Don't let it escape!"
The butterfly spirit hurriedly called out to Qi Xuan. Once the Mud Spirit sank into the swamp, it wouldn't be easy to kill it again.
"Got it!"
Qi Xuan responded. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Qi Xuan's graceful dance changed. The ripples in the air actually stopped the Mud Spirit's huge body, stopping it in midair. It couldn't fall at all.
"Bang!"
A loud sound came from the air. The Mud Spirit that couldn't fall was like a fish out of water. After it jumped up, it heavily smashed into the ripples in the air.
Although the Mud Spirit couldn't break through the barrier and fall, the destructive force from its jump made Qi Xuan, who was maintaining the ripples, feel very uncomfortable. Her body trembled because of it.
"Fellow Daoists, hurry and finish it off. I can't hold on for long!"
Following Qi Xuan's urgent call, the Sky Traversing Vessel in the air suddenly shot a huge beam of light at the Mud Spirit. It happened to hit the Mud Spirit that jumped up again.
The Mud Spirit's voice was sent flying by the beam of light. However, the ripples in the air followed it like a shadow. It couldn't escape because of this. Moreover, the beam of light's destructive force was very strong. A huge hole was blasted open in the Mud Spirit's sturdy body.
"Again!"
Gu Zheng's excited voice sounded in the air. An even thicker golden beam of light shot towards the Mud Spirit again.
The Mud Spirit that no longer jumped like a fish quickly flew up. It wanted to use its fastest speed to escape into the distance. However, the beam of light was faster than the Mud Spirit. It accurately hit the hole in the Mud Spirit's body just as it flew up, piercing through its huge body.
Its body was pierced through, and it was at its heart. The last Mud Spirit died because of this.
"Mister is mighty!"
Meow Meow was the first to cry out. She still didn't know what had happened in the Sky Traversing Vessel, but it was clearly under Gu Zheng's control.
Countless curved rays of light shot out from the Sky Traversing Vessel. These rays of light were like ropes that firmly bound the dead Mud Spirit.
"Let's leave the canyon first!"
Following Gu Zheng's voice, the Sky Traversing Vessel shot out another beam of light and blasted the barrier above the canyon.
Three consecutive beams of light blasted out. The barrier above the canyon was broken, and Gu Zheng and the others flew out from it.
Meow Meow and the others had already entered the Sky Traversing Vessel. They looked at Gu Zheng, who was controlling the vessel, with eyes full of curiosity.
Everything Meow Meow and the others knew about the Sky Traversing Ship came from Gu Zheng. However, Gu Zheng didn't know much about it. Therefore, in his opinion, the Sky Traversing Vessel was a flying tool that belonged to the powers outside the circle. It could only be controlled by people outside the circle. After all, he had never heard of anyone in the wilderness controlling the Sky Traversing Vessel. Because of this, in Meow Meow and the others' opinion, the Sky Traversing Vessel couldn't be controlled by immortal cultivators.
Knowing that Meow Meow and the others were curious, Gu Zheng immediately explained to them.
When he saw that the first Sky Traversing Vessel was controlled by a demon, Gu Zheng had some ideas. However, the situation at the time didn't allow him to waste any time, so he directly killed the Demon Royal.
The second Sky Traversing Vessel was also controlled by a Demon Royal, but the situation allowed Gu Zheng some time. Therefore, after he restrained the Demon Royal, he performed a soul-searching on the Demon Royal.
The results of the soul-searching on the Demon Royal made Gu Zheng understand that the Sky Traversing Vessel that could be controlled by a Demon Royal had been modified by Di You. As long as one had the skills to control the Sky Traversing Vessel, regardless of whether one was a human or a demon, they could control it. Moreover, because Gu Zheng had mastered the Path of True Gold, when he controlled the Sky Traversing Vessel, he could use the Path of True Gold to make the Sky Traversing Vessel's light beam more destructive.
After hearing Gu Zheng's explanation, Meow Meow and the others cheered. They couldn't help but look forward to it when they imagined Gu Zheng controlling such a large vessel and dealing with Di You in the same way!
"After searching that Demon Royal's soul, I'm even more certain that Di You won't be able to escape easily. If we continue to walk, we won't encounter any more demons or Sky Traversing Vessels. However, Di You still has an incredible defense waiting for us. As for what that defense is, the Demon Royal that I soul-searched is not very clear. Therefore, I want to revive the Mud Spirit and search its soul to see if I can get more information! "Gu Zheng said.
Reviving the Mud Spirit and soul-searching required a relatively safe environment. The Scarred Canyon was a place of uncertainty. Therefore, Gu Zheng brought the Mud Spirit out. By the time he finished reviving the Mud Spirit and soul-searching, everyone was almost done resting. Then, it would be time to fight Di You.
