This cave was as large as a plaza, filled with layers of bloody light, and the thick smell of blood assailed the nose. In the center of the cave, a circular pit had been dug, inside which blood churned and bubbled, constantly emitting steam.
He adapted to the temperature of the blood, standing firm in the center of the pool. The blood reached his waist, exposing his chest and most of his arms.
"Let's begin. One step at a time, don't rush. First, the Iron Blood Gu," Tianhe Shangren reminded.
Fang Zheng slowly closed his eyes and, as instructed, activated the Iron Blood Gu.
Immediately, the Gu's power transformed his blood. His originally bright red blood began to darken and thicken, its flow slowing down considerably.
Fang Zheng's fair skin also turned black.
"Maintain the Iron Blood Gu and activate the Blood Blade Gu," Tianhe Shangren said again.
Fang Zheng activated the Blood Blade Gu. His body shuddered, and his skin suddenly split open, forming hundreds of wounds from which a swarm of blood blades erupted, all of them pitch-black iron blood blades!
Then, blood like molten iron slowly flowed from the wounds.
Fang Zheng's expression was cold, feeling not the slightest pain. Instead, waves of intense pleasure washed over him. This was the effect of the Iron Blood Gu, transforming pain into pleasure, helping Gu Masters adapt better to battle, capable of turning a cowardly Gu Master into a battle-crazed tough guy.
This was one of the achievements of the
This blood slowly flowed into the bright red pool, gradually staining the area around Fang Zheng black.
"Next is the key step. Use the Mixed Blood Gu," Tianhe Shangren instructed again.
Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and activated the Mixed Blood Gu.
Under the influence of the Gu, the hundreds of wounds all over his body erupted with a fierce suction force. A large amount of surrounding blood was continuously drawn into the wounds.
"Ah..." Fang Zheng groaned softly, intense pain turning into intense pleasure. He gritted his teeth fiercely, his body trembling incessantly.
As the blood was drawn into his body in large quantities, his entire body swelled, becoming a deformed fat man. His size was more than three times his original, his skin stretched forcibly, and his blood vessels were as thick as snakes writhing inside Fang Zheng's body.
The elegant and handsome young master had instantly transformed into a disgusting and ugly monster.
"Don't forget the main task. Resist this pleasure. Fang Zheng. Quick, you should activate the Defeated Blood Demon Flower Gu!" Tianhe Shangren, who was constantly monitoring Fang Zheng's condition, quickly reminded him.
The term 'Defeated Blood Demon Flower Gu' made Fang Zheng's heart tremble. He struggled to break free from the intense pleasure. Gasping heavily, he activated the Defeated Blood Demon Flower Gu.
Fang Zheng clenched his fists. The vast amount of blood in his body rapidly decayed. Under the influence of the Gu, vines sprouted within the blood.
These tiny vines burrowed through Fang Zheng's skin and soon wrapped around his entire body.
Buds grew from the vines, blooming rapidly, forming demonically beautiful blue chrysanthemum-like flowers.
"Ugh—!" Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, yelling in pain. His face was pale. His entire body had become soil, forcibly growing so many demonic flowers. This intense pain was more than ten times worse than childbirth!
Even the effect of the Iron Blood Gu couldn't compare to this pain.
Fang Zheng was in so much pain he almost ground his white teeth to powder. His face was pale, the veins on his forehead bulging, his expression ferocious and terrifying.
"Hurry, your entire body's blood is boiling. If this continues, your internal organs, skin, and flesh will be cooked alive by your own blood. Quickly use the Cold Blood Gu," Tianhe Shangren's voice carried a hint of tension.
Fang Zheng labored to activate the Cold Blood Gu.
The blood cooled rapidly. He shivered, finally escaping the crisis of death.
"Alright, the demonic flowers will greatly amplify the effect of your Blood Path Gu insects. You are only one step away from success. Use the Blood Sense Gu!" Tianhe Shangren's tone was urgent.
"Blood Sense..." Fang Zheng lowered his head, his vision blurring from the pain. Relying on the inertia of his repeated training, he persisted and activated this Blood Path reconnaissance Gu.
