183 Life and Death Gu (2)

A huge curved barrier quickly appeared above their heads, trapping everyone in it in the blink of an eye.

All of this happened in a flash, and no one had time to react.

“Oh no, we’re trapped by the Array Formation!”

“It might be the one controlling the Array Formation.”

Everyone who was greedy for the seven-colored alms bowl immediately became afraid.

Lu Jiu’s gaze was sharp. “Everyone, come closer. Those who have cultivated the battle formation techniques, get into formation immediately!”

“Return to the coffin!”

The people from the Heavenly Corpse Sect were even more straightforward. They actually flew back to their coffins, making Song Shi envious. These fellows’ coffins were really convenient.

On the demon beasts’ side, it was relatively easy. The birds retracted their wings, and the other demon beasts could only stick their butts closer to each other. It could be seen that their methods were still very primitive.

Other than being a little cautious, Song Shi was not too worried. Instead, he was looking forward to it.

Next, could it be that this alms bowl was going to control the Array Formation to kill people?

What kind of crisis is this? An artificial intelligence crisis?

As he let one’s imagination run wild, the light in the seven-colored alms bowl squirmed and condensed into two strange lantern-like eyes in the air.

After turning around, this eyes seemed to be able to see everyone. A unique fluctuation swept past, as if the alms bowl was investigating the situation.

Immediately after, a hoarse voice sounded: “Welcome to the refinement grounds, congratulations on becoming a new batch of life and death Gu.”

“It actually talked. The Dharma treasure seemed to have also become a spirit!”

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. Numinous treasures were legendary items indeed.

This was because even Nascent Souls did not have access to such things. In fact, there were not many Numinous treasures in this world.

However, what was this Life and Death Gu? There was no relevant information on it in the Blood-Robed old ghost’s memories.

And why did they become Life and Death Gu?

Song Shi became more and more curious. The others were also at a loss.

When the Old Poison from the Sky Poison Sect heard these words, his face turned ashen.

“Old Poison, what kind of Gu is the Life and Death Gu?”

“A special Gu. If you don’t want to become someone else’s slave, leave quickly. This place is not a normal ruin at all!”

After saying that, he immediately wanted to leave with his disciples. However, the way back had already been sealed by the Array Formation Power, and the array had changed.

“Old Poison, can’t you finish your sentence?”

Sword Emperor Gale frowned.

The words of this seven-colored alms bowl were not kind. The best way was to quickly figure out the situation before having a way to deal with it.

Boom boom boom!

The old poisonous creature attacked the Array Formation without saying a word, but the Array Formation did not move at all. His expression was ugly. “It’s over. I’ve really become a worm that was attracted over to this ruin. I’ve refined a lot of Gu, but this is the first time I’ve been treated as a worm.”

Clang!

A crisp sound came from the alms bowl. Then, the lid on it opened on its own and its body quickly expanded.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A strange sound was transmitted from it. In the colorful light, a black and white color ray appeared.

Song Shi realized that the black and white were actually squirming insects. Inside were densely packed little bugs that were slowly squirming as if they had just woken up. It made his scalp tingle.

“Damn it, it’s really these damn things. Why are there so many of them!”

When Old Poison saw this, he cursed. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Swoosh!

A black shadow landed on the side. It was the Black Eagle Emperor of the demon race. He asked, “What exactly happened?”

In the face of the question, Old Poison smiled mockingly. “In any case, no one can escape and we’ve become turtles in a jar. There’s no harm in telling you. This thing is a special puppet Gu. Whoever is poisoned will only have two choices. They will die from the devouring power of the Gu or kill other people who are poisoned by the same type of Gu to survive. To survive, they will have to fight with their lives, so it’s called the Life and Death Gu.”

When he mentioned puppet Gu, many people present had ugly expressions.

Puppet Gu, as its name suggested, meant that the person who was poisoned would become a puppet. They would not be able to control their actions or even determine their life and death.

“F*ck, does this mean that this ruin had deliberately tricked us?”

The Crimson Ape Emperor cursed.

“We shouldn’t have come to such an unknown ruin!”

The Black Eagle Emperor looked regretful. He did not get many treasures and he was going to lose his freedom.

“Strange, even if it controls us, what does it want to do?”

Song Shi realized that the various factions were at a loss, which meant that they did not know much about this ruin.

In that case, who had set up these ruins? Why had such ruins never been heard of in history?

Now that the ruins has revealed his true intentions, would the mastermind reveal himself?

Song Shi looked at the seven-colored alms bowl that was activating the Gu worm and was filled with curiosity.

“Everyone, cooperate as much as possible. Break the Array Formation and leave this place first!”

The Perfected Heavenly Star Lord suggested.

He did not expect that there would be Gu worms in this array formation. The best way for now was to temporarily avoid danger.

“F*ck, I thought you knew all this!”

Seeing that the Heavenly Star Lord was retreating, how could the ill-tempered Sword Emperor Gale stand still? He followed behind and prepared to retreat as well.

“Father, is this Life and Death Gu so powerful? Why is everyone so afraid?”

Lu Youyou didn’t quite understand.

“This is a special spiritual Gu. Neither you nor I can withstand it.”

Mountain Moving Daoist sighed. “I once read a book about incomplete Gu worms. The Life and Death Gu is a kind of Gu worm that people both love and hate in ancient times. Those who are poisoned by the Life and Death Gu must constantly provide power to the Gu worm. Otherwise, they have to kill other people who are also poisoned to obtain the other party’s power.”

“This place really looks like the tools for refining Gu, but the targets are not Normal Gu, they are cultivators, zombies, and demon beasts!”

Song Shi finally understood what this Life and Death Gu was. He looked at the worm in the alms bowl that was emitting an increasingly dense aura and said in disgust, “It’s always a little strange when this thing enters my brain.”

“Let’s go. We’ll break the formation with them and leave this place first.”

Lu Jiu made a prompt decision to meet up with the forces of Great Qian. There was no time to divide between good and evil for now.

“There’s no need to waste your energy. With the Level 6 Array Formation fully activated, even a Soul Transformation cultivator won’t be able to break it. You can only accept this gift obediently. As long as you become a Gu body, you’re qualified to obtain the treasures in these ten places. If you can survive in the end and ascend to the Upper Realm in the future, you can directly join my Holy Gu Sect.”

The seven-colored alms bowl spoke again. Its voice was very calm and it sounded emotionless.

A portion of the cultivators heard this and were tempted.

Upper Realm!

From the name, one could tell that it was a place that was a level higher than the current world.

The Upper Realm was an even vaster world. It only existed in ancient records. Those who had been there would basically never return.

However, if one wanted to go to the Upper Realm, one had to reach the Soul Transformation Martial Venerable Realm. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the power of Space.

“With the Life and Death Gu, you will have a chance to grow faster. Soul Transformation will be just around the corner, why resist?”

After the artifact spirit finished speaking, the black bug in the alms bowl suddenly shot out and turned into a black cloud that flew towards everyone.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Amidst the strange sound, the black clouds dispersed, and black-white Gu worms that were as thin as hair rushed towards every living being present.

Not only the living beings, but even the zombies were not spared. The strange thing was that the insects that rushed towards the living beings were black, and the insects that rushed towards the zombies were white.

The black one gave off a deathly aura, while the white one was filled with the aura of life.

Song Shi was stunned. According to Hei Duzi’s memories, he had some understanding of Gu worms.

For the Gu to be able to change a living thing so nimbly, it was a wonder of the world.

“It’s coming! Block it!”

At the same time, Lu Jiu pulled his daughter behind him. Chains shot out, wanting to shatter the Gu worms.

A strange scene appeared. After the Gu worm was hit by the Dharma treasures, its body squirmed and passed through the Dharma treasures. Even Nomological power could not stop it.

Song Shi watched in shock. He had used the Pure Yang True Fire to block it, but the outcome was the same. He could not block it at all.

He realized that the black and white Gu worm seemed to turn into their own power in an instant and then easily invaded the resistance.

Everyone’s attacks seemed to hit the air, and their Defense was ineffective. Gu worms successfully invaded everyone’s bodies.

Song Shi saw a black and white rune quickly appear between the brows of the others beside him, just like a worm getting invaded by Gu.

At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.

Killing all the other Life and Death Gu would allow him to seize the other party’s strength.

“Good lord, this is to make all the people who are poisoned kill each other. They are really refining Gu, but the target of the Gu has become cultivators and demon beasts!”
