"The defensive power of the Iron Armor Dog pack is truly formidable," said fifth-turn demonic path great Gu Master Ku Mo, feeling very gratified as he looked at the hundreds of Iron Armor Dogs around him.
Iron Armor Dogs were covered in a dark, thick carapace from head to toe, almost as hard as iron. Among the first fifty stages of the Canine King Inheritance, they were the canine beasts with the most outstanding defense.
Just now, Ku Mo had commanded the dog pack and won a great victory.
The spoils were even richer—using his Dog Taming Gu, he had recruited a Blue-Eyed Canine King into his ranks.
This Blue-Eyed Canine King was not only a king of a hundred beasts but also possessed a wild Gu that was extremely effective against Yin Dogs.
"My last failure was because I encountered Yin Dogs. Ordinary dog packs can't kill these ethereal bodies. With the Blue-Eyed Canine King this time, I won't have to fear Yin Dogs."
This was only the eighteenth stage of the Canine King Inheritance, yet Ku Mo already possessed a Canine King and a large number of Iron Armor Dogs.
After all, he was a fifth-turn Gu Master; his actions were indeed extraordinary.
At the same time, his luck this time was really good.
The Canine King Inheritance was like this; among the Three Kings' Inheritances, it required the most luck.
Good luck at the start meant deep early accumulation, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, making the mid and late stages easier to clear.
"Last time I failed, only clearing stage sixty-eight. I'm too embarrassed to mention that achievement! Today, my luck has turned, and I have such a good start. But I can't let my guard down. Tie Mubai chose the Faith King Inheritance this time. It's said that last time, he got past stage eighty."
Thinking of Tie Mubai made Ku Mo's heart feel heavy.
He knew that in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Tie Mubai. That was why, when choosing which inheritance to enter, he actively avoided Tie Mubai and selected the Canine King Inheritance.
In truth, among the Three Kings' Inheritances, the early stages of the Faith King Inheritance were the easiest. Gu Masters could use words to disturb the Mao Min, achieving victory without fighting.
As for this trick, it was naturally Fang Yuan who actively spread it.
Ku Mo pondered for a moment, then composed himself and planned to seize the time to continue clearing the stages.
Just then, space tore open before him, and a strange young man appeared.
"Hm? Who are you?!" Ku Mo was utterly terrified!
He had ventured into the Three Kings' Inheritances many times and knew them well. But what was happening before his eyes was real, shocking him beyond belief.
The newcomer was exactly Fang Yuan.
Hearing Ku Mo's shout, he laughed heartily. "Who am I? The one who wants your life!"
As he spoke, he activated the Golden Dragon Gu.
The Golden Dragon suddenly appeared. It roared, its whiskers fluttering, its dragon eyes wide with fury, its four claws ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing this, Ku Mo was scared shitless!
He roared in disbelief. "How is this possible!? You can use Gu!? This is impossible!!"
At this critical moment of life and death, he shuddered and hurriedly tried to activate his own Gu.
But there was no response.
Roar!
The Golden Dragon pounced, its claws grabbing him. It crushed almost his entire upper body.
The dignified Ku Mo, a generation's overlord, a veteran demonic path great expert, died just like that.
He died without even having time to use his life-saving token. Of course, under the manipulation of the Land Spirit, even if he had used it, it wouldn't have worked.
"The Golden Dragon Gu truly is domineering in attack. Still, its style is crude and hard to control delicately." Fang Yuan mused. He had only intended to crush Ku Mo's head, but ended up crushing his entire upper body, which made his heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, the aperture was hidden near his navel and wasn't damaged.
Fang Yuan stepped forward, sent his mind into the aperture, and began to plunder the Gu worms.
Ku Mo had as many as eight Gu worms. But only one was a fifth-turn Gu, named Bone Softening Gu, which was extremely insidious.
This Gu could soften the bones of all living beings within a fifty-li radius. Even if Fang Yuan had transformed all his bones into refined iron bones, they would be suppressed and eventually softened into mud. By then, Fang Yuan would be completely unable to fight back.
Without the support of his bones, he would be like a pile of mud, completely limp on the ground. His organs would squeeze against each other, his blood vessels and muscles tangled into a mess. Without anyone even striking him, he would soon die.
The other seven Gu were all fourth-turn. These Gu were all related to the Bone Path, and there were quite a few fine pieces among them.
"It's a pity I don't have a deep understanding of the Bone Path. At most, I can temporarily make do. If I truly inherited this entire set of Gu, the fighting power I could exert wouldn't even be half of Ku Mo's. I'd better just store them for now." Fang Yuan considered in his heart.
When a Gu Master reached Ku Mo's level, the Gu combination he forged would surely suit his personality and combat style, embodying his understanding of the Bone Path, battle, and Gu Masters.
What Fang Yuan was best at was the Blood Path. In his past life, he benefited from the Blood Sea Inheritance and built his career on the Blood Path. His understanding of the Blood Path was extremely profound. If Ku Mo were a Blood Path Gu Master, the situation would be different.
Having fully taken Ku Mo's Gu, Fang Yuan then activated the Beast Strength Placenta Gu to devour his aperture as well.
Nourished, the Beast Strength Placenta Gu improved another level. Its surface, which was originally like brick, now had a layer of gloss and had become finer, resembling coarse ceramics.
Pity Ku Mo, a generation's overlord, born a lone cultivator, struggling on his own. He grasped many opportunities in his life, and through hard work and determination, he reached this point through countless hardships.
In the end, he died in an instant, and all the fruits of his hard work were swallowed by Fang Yuan. The dignified fifth-turn great Gu Master fell from the peak, becoming a stepping stone under Fang Yuan's feet.
"It's a pity the Dog Taming Gu can't be recycled, otherwise these dog packs could be used by me." Fang Yuan glanced regretfully at the dog packs and vanished from the spot.
