Chapter 483: The Blood River of the Four Heavenly Lords!

  In a battle where their cultivation levels were simir, Gu He’s strength was vastly superior to Xue He’s, to an almost immeasurable degree. Even though he deliberately suppressed his power, he still inflicted severe injuries upon Xue He.

  At present, Xue He was covered in wounds, his bones fractured in unknown pces. His long, crimson hair hung in disarray, making him appear utterly wretched.

  However, this state was still not what Gu He desired. Over the past two years, his soul power had been tempered through his innate divine fire, advang from the initial Soul Realm stage to the te Soul Realm stage. Yet, even with this growth, attempting to execute the a Puppet Seed teique while Xue He was desperately resisting would still pose signifit difficulty.

  Gu He’s objective was to push Xue He to the brink of unsciousness. Only when his mind was on the verge of colpse would it be the perfeent to impnt the puppet seed.

  “Aah—!”

  Xue He’s mind was filled with searing pain from the tless wounds all over his body. However, he dared not let his guard down, forcibly suppressing the agony as he remained vigint against Gu He’s attacks.

  In the instant, under Xue He’s tense gaze, Gu He once again transformed into silver lightning and vanished into the void, pletely disappearing from sight.

  “Damn it! Who the hell is this guy? He actually traverse space with such terrifying ease, even within a sealed space!” Xue He cursed internally as he watched Gu He disappear. He had already attempted to escape from this fined space himself, yet no matter how he attacked, the spatial barrier remained unbreakable. Moreover, every moment, he had to divert a portion of his strength to withstand the terrifyi of the encroag purple fire web.

  What worried him nohether the fire web would shrink further—if it did, would he be buro nothing?

  Crack!

  Crack!

  Just as Xue He anxiously sed his surroundings, a bolt of silver lightning abruptly materialized behind him. In the blink of a morphed bato Gu He’s figure. Xue He had barely mao detect Gu He’s blood flow trajectory through his Blood Transformation Art when—

  Bang!

  A powerful blow struck the back of his head, causing fractures in his skull.

  “Aaah—!!”

  “If I die, no matter how powerful you are, it won’t be long before you join me ierlife! And Xue, you traitor—you’ll suffer for this one day! Your soul will be extracted and shed every single day—!”

  Xue He vomited blood untrolbly as his miered on the edge of madness. He shed out with wild, fretacks in every dire, unleashiating energy without thought.

  Meanwhile, after nding a successful ambush, Gu He had already retreated into the void, appearing outside the fire web. He now stood beside the Heavenly Lord, calmly the deranged and raging Xue He trapped within.

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Xue He, driven by rage and desperation, attacked furiously in all dires, his entire body engulfed in a thick, bloody aura.

  However, before long, the blood energy surrounding him was rapidly evaporated into nothingness by the intense heat within the fire web’s domain.

  After his reckless outburst, Xue He finally realized that Gu He had already left the fire web’s enclosure. His heart eased slightly, and he ceased his attacks.

  It was at this moment that the pain he had forcibly suppressed in his heighteate of tension came rushing into his sciousness all at once.

  “It’s time.”

  Outside the fire web, Gu He had been waiting for precisely this moment of weakness.

  Without hesitation, he executed his teique once more—using the Void Thunder God Fsh to reehe fire web woven from his innate divine fire. As soon as he entered, his soul power surged explosively from his body, rushing straight toward Xue He’s mind!

  At this moment, the Four Heavenly Lords’ Xue He was already teetering on the edge of sciousness. When Gu He’s soul power invaded his spirit, he barely resisted at all.

  As Gu He’s soul power tis invasion, Xue He’s body suddenly became still, standing motionless ihe bllow in his eyes had lost its previous brutality, noearing utterly vat.

  Approximately ten minutes passed. Deep within Xue He’s mind, a transparent crystal gradually formed within his soul. From its surface, tless firanslut threads spread outward, extending in all dires.

  Whehreads fully permeated every er of Xue He’s soul, the bllow in his eyes finally regais brilliance.

  Only then did Gu He withdraw the soul power he had projected outward.

  “Xue He greets his master!”

  As soon as his gaze cleared, the Four Heavenly Lords’ Xue He immediately bent forward and saluted Gu He with the utmost respect.

  Gu He, nnizing Xue He as his subordinate, naturally wouldn’t let his injuries go ued.

  Given Xue He’s current dition, it would take him at least three to five years to recover on his own. Even with his cultivation level, ordinary eighth-grade healing pills would be of little help. Thus, without hesitation, Gu He took out a ninth-grade treasured pill for Xue He’s treatment.

  Upon ing the ninth-grade pill, Xue He’s injuries began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. His torn flesh regeed rapidly, and even his shattered bones meogether in an instant.

  The medial effects of a ninth-grade treasured pill were potent enough to be even a true Dou Saint. With Xue He’s cultivation still below the Half-Saint level, the powerful medie caused an ued breakthrough—his realm loosened, allowing him to advaraight to the peak of the ar Dou Vee stage. He was remely close to reag the Half-Saint level and would likely step into it before long.

  After fully healing Xue He’s injuries, Gu He took out a ste ring and ha to him before issuing an order.

  “Xue He, ihis ring, there are three thousah-grade Clear Essence Pills. I need you to find a way to exge these pills for other seventh-grade elixirs or sell them at high prices to purchase some eighth-grade pills.”

  “Yes! I will plete the task without fail!” The Four Heavenly Lords’ Xue He respectfully accepted the ste ring, his tone filled with deference.

  “Good. Also, if there are any major movements within the Soul Hall, you must tact me immediately…” Gu He tinued giving orders.

  A moment ago, by exeg the a Puppet Seed teique, he had successfully impnted a puppet seed into Xue He’s soul, thus gaining access to many of his memories.

  Though Xue He was one of the Nine Heavenly Lords, he was ninally part of the Soul . He had only joihe Soul Hall due to various temptations. Because of this, his knowledge regarding the Soul was somewhat limited. Within the Soul Hall, only the two main hall masters and the Grand Heavenly Lord—the stro among the Nine Heavenly Lords—were part of the true core leadership.

  However, Xue He had been personally involved in many of the Soul Hall’s major operations. He was well aware of the locations of numerous branch halls and had detailed knowledge of the foundational formations that the Soul Hall had beely preparing for tless years.
