Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Jian Chen faced a sage from the Wu Family alone, struggling in an evenly matched battle.

They were both within the array and could feel their essence blood trying to leave their bodies, requiring constant suppression with spiritual energy to resist.

Their strengths could not be fully utilized.

Zhao Hai and the Old Blind Man, as early-stage sages, together faced another sage from the Wu Family, also to no clear advantage.

"Daoist Fellow Gu, you must not stimulate your essence blood!"

"You'll be absorbed by the array if you do so, as this place uses the Central State secret technique, consuming at ten times the speed of the outside world!"

Seeing Gu Kuang's action, Jian Chen and the others immediately cautioned.

"So what!"

"I'll enjoy chopping them first before anything else!"

Gu Kuang, however, did not heed their warnings, propelling his essence blood to burn. Thin red threads formed on his body, touching the ground.

Upon closer inspection, these threads were his blood mixed with spiritual energy!

This sacrificial array targeted not only the Wu Family but also affected them, similarly absorbing their essence blood.

It was only those who had reached the eighth grade and fully resisted that could avoid having their essence blood drained by the array.

For the ninth grade, only a great part of their attention was needed to control it and prevent the loss of essence blood.

But for someone as reckless as Gu Kuang, that was another story.

Facing two ninth-grade sages, he actually had the upper hand.

One of the ninth-grade Wu Family members was so frustrated he was about to self-destruct!

But another stopped him: "Do not!"

"This area is filled with our Wu Family members; if you self-destruct, it will be our people who die!"

Upon hearing the warning, the man calmed down slightly.

"Saint Jiang Li clearly never intended to let us go!"

"The intensity of the essence blood absorption here is even more terrifying than at the plaza!"

"He is deliberately scheming against our Wu Family!"

The two sage Wu Family ancestors realized something was amiss.

But it was too late!

During the battle, a bolt of purple lightning streaked across, and Gu Changge's figure had already reached the battlefront in the Back Mountain.

At the sight of Gu Changge's arrival, all the Wu Family members couldn't help but reveal expressions of grief.

His appearance here meant that their clansmen at the plaza had already been killed!

"Brat, your life ends here!"

The two sage family ancestors immediately prepared to strike at Gu Changge with killing intent.

Jian Chen and the others tried to intervene, but these two disregarded their own injuries!

They were determined to kill Gu Changge, even after taking a hit from their swords.

Facing the killing techniques of the two sages, Gu Changge was momentarily engulfed by the Wu Family's unique Black Flame Divine Power, but soon he calmly walked out of the Flame Sea.

The lingering Black Flame on his body was gently patted out by him.

After shooting Jian Chen and the others a glance, he did not tarry.

He began the slaughter of the remaining hundreds of Wu Family members!

Having been under the influence of the array for too long, they were even weaker in resistance!

Within a few breaths, there were corpses everywhere!

He didn't even bother using his Immortal Grade Flying Sword, simply snapping his fingers, and hundreds of flying swords formed from Tribulation Lightning fell toward the two Flying Boats!

'Boom——'

At that moment, the place was like experiencing a Heavenly Tribulation!

The two Flying Boats turned into a blackened wreckage in an instant, the dead bodies of the Wu Family were burned beyond recognition, reduced to ashes.

Instantly, the system's kill notifications bombarded his mind with countless numbers!

Taking a cursory glance, Gu Changge's figure flickered like a specter on the battlefield, amidst the survivors ranging from seventh to eighth-grade Wu Family cultivators.

Each time his figure appeared, a Wu Family member was decapitated!

The two sage ancestors witnessed this scene and were agonized but helpless.

Their desperate earlier attacks had left them injured, and now facing the true Sage Elders of the Sword Sect, they struggled greatly, unable to intervene to stop Gu Changge.

In just a few breaths, only the two ninth-grade Wu Family members and two sages remained alive.

Aside from them, only corpses littered the ground.

Though these people had been killed by Gu Changge, their essence blood and spiritual energy were being continuously absorbed by the array.

The array's lines on the ground had turned a deep red!

The light screen overhead also emitted a bloody glow.

Even the air's smell of blood had become extremely heavy!

Clearly, the array had accumulated a significant amount of essence blood's power.

"You rest now, I'll take it from here."

Discovering that the old man was burning his essence blood, Gu Changge didn't dare delay and immediately flashed to his side. As he spoke, he delivered a sword strike towards the ninth grade in front of him.

The ninth-grade sage used the rebound force to put some distance between them.

He wasn't easily killed.

"Good... good!"

"I've had my fill of slashing today; the rest... I leave to you."

"Sword, in the spirit of heaven, you will see."

Hearing his grandchild's voice, Gu Kuang finally snapped out of his frenzied state.

After nodding firmly, he immediately withdrew himself to suppress his leaking essence blood!

"The two of you, it's time to go."

Gu Changge didn't waste words. Seeing the old man had calmed down, his figure flickered behind one of them, raising his Flying Sword to slice at their neck.

The two Wu Family Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm experts defended with their Divine Skills, while the other used his axe-shaped Magic Treasure to chop at Gu Changge!

But Gu Changge simply didn't care about their attacks.

To injure him, one would at least have to be a sage, capable of borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
