Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 288 - 287: Executor Divine Demon

He looked at Gu Yuan, no longer the silent and reserved man he was before, but instead, with a peculiar expression in his eyes, he sighed:

"What a pity, if only I could have captured you back then. With your foundation and talent, if refined into a Yin Demon, you would have the foundation of the Undying Demon!"

"Such a good opportunity was wasted for no reason. What a pity, truly a pity!"

"So, you are the Three Corpses Old Demon!"

Gu Yuan’s gaze shifted slightly, finally understanding the identity of the person before him. It turned out to be the Three Corpses Old Man, with whom he had crossed paths several times and still had unresolved grievances.

Previously, he had even met a clone of this old demon, but he didn’t expect this old devil to come to the Red Dragon Small World once again.

Gu Yuan looked at the thin, black elder and pondered:

"Logically speaking, a person cannot enter this Red Dragon Small World repeatedly. You have already entered this place before, and now you are here again; this suggests you are not the main body but a clone!"

"So what if it’s a clone?"

The face of the Three Corpses Old Demon, thin and dark, squeezed out a strange smile:

"You indeed have some skills, young one. Just what I know alone, you have killed three Golden Core Great Cultivators, but so what?"

"Not all Golden Cores are the same. Those Golden Core Great Cultivators you killed were at most of lower grade. But I am different. Although I practice the Path of the Undying Demon God and have not formed a core, my natal Three Corpses Demon is not inferior in any way, if anything, it’s even more elusive."

"Besides, my cultivation has already reached the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm."

He pointed at the nearby White Bone Mighty Demon, faintly sneering: "Now that I have the White Bone Mighty Demon, added to myself, although not the main body, I am not a match for ordinary cultivators. What do you have to fight against me?"

"If you’re sensible, hand over the Celestial King Divine Pill, and I might spare you this once. How about it?"

As he spoke, an imposing demonic shadow appeared behind the Three Corpses Old Demon.

This demonic shadow stood over ten meters tall, wielding a pitch-black saw-toothed Ghost Head Saber, emanating a suffocating pressure—truly an overwhelming demonic might!

Especially those eyes, bright and brilliant, like two light bulbs, indifferent and resolute, resembling a high and mighty deity, yet carrying a hint of peculiar wickedness.

The White Bone Mighty Demon was tolerable, but this demonic shadow exerted considerable pressure on Gu Yuan, even greater than that from the Cyan Wood True Master the last time.

One must know, although the Cyan Wood True Master was at Second Grade Pill Formation, it was his true body, while the person before him, the Three Corpses Old Demon, was merely a clone.

Thus, Gu Yuan had reason to suspect that the demonic shadow in front of him was most likely one of the Three Corpses Old Demon’s three corpses clones.

In other words, the person before him was one-third of the Three Corpses Old Demon.

The natal Three Corpses Demon of the Three Corpses Old Demon consisted of three entities: the Kind Corpse Demon, the Evil Corpse Demon, and the Executor Corpse Demon.

The first two have distinct characteristics in their names: for instance, the Kind Corpse Demon always wears a smiling face, while the Evil Corpse Demon is marked by a terrifying and atrocious appearance, full of vile and ferocious demeanor.

So, the demonic shadow behind the Three Corpses Old Demon in front of him is likely nine parts out of ten the Executor Corpse Demon!

"It seems you have your eyes on my Celestial King Divine Pill as well... Old fellow, you really are interesting."

Gu Yuan chuckled, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword swirling around, agile and spirited, with the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede resting on his shoulders:

"But don’t forget, even though your cultivation is strong, the suppression you face in this small world is even stronger."

"With your current strength, being able to exert four-tenths of your full power is already impressive. Dream on if you think you can kill me!"

Hearing this, and upon seeing the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver-backed Centipede on Gu Yuan’s shoulders, the Three Corpses Old Demon’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The words were crude but not unreasonable.

Gu Yuan’s words, though a bit harsh, were not without reason.

Indeed, his cultivation surpassed Gu Yuan by several small realms, yet Gu Yuan’s foundation was exceedingly robust, having mastered multiple top-grade divine techniques and possessing exquisite swordsmanship. With the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver-backed Centipede as helpers, he wasn’t much inferior.

Moreover, this Red Dragon Small World exerts a suppressive effect on cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the greater the suppression!

He could hardly exert even four-tenths of his strength, whereas Gu Yuan is scarcely restricted.

Thus, in a real duel, though he was confident of overpowering Gu Yuan, it was absolutely impossible to deal with Gu Yuan swiftly!

Yet just as the expression of the Three Corpses Old Demon fluctuated, he perked up upon seeing Gu Yuan taking out the gold-colored spirit pill from before—Celestial King Divine Pill.

"Smart choice! Rest assured, young one, I will..."

The Three Corpses Old Demon abruptly stopped mid-sentence, his face turning blue-black with a darker expression as if it were storming, about to drip water!

Because Gu Yuan unexpectedly swallowed the Celestial King Divine Pill without hesitation.

Gu Yuan actually ate it!

The Three Corpses Old Demon’s chest heaved with anger, his expression cold and dark. He never expected Gu Yuan to act so decisively and simply swallowed this spirit pill directly.

This Celestial King Divine Pill was a rare spirit pill capable of giving Golden Core Great Cultivators a chance to advance to the Yin Spirit Realm.

If he had obtained it, he would undoubtedly have sought a safe and secluded place to take it, slowly refining it, without wasting an iota of its potency.

Gu Yuan’s straightforward action was akin to a casual game.

A precious top-grade spirit pill was consumed just like that, with most of its potency bound to be wasted.

This was absolute squandering!

Not to mention, the spiritual energy contained in this pill was incredibly abundant—is Gu Yuan able to handle it?

Doesn’t he fear his body might burst?!"

"Alright, Gu Yuan, you are indeed ruthless! I’ll remember you..."

The Three Corpses Old Demon burned with rage, barely suppressing his fury, choosing not to act.

The spirit pill had been consumed by Gu Yuan; no matter how he acted, even if he killed Gu Yuan, it was already too late.

What a pity for this Celestial King Divine Pill, benefiting this kid.

With that, he left with a darkened face, the black demonic shadow behind him turning into a streak of light, merging into his body and disappearing.

"Hold on!"

Seeing the Three Corpses Old Demon about to leave, Gu Yuan stopped him, a faintly mocking expression on his face: "Old man, you acted against me brazenly, now you want to leave just like that, thinking I am easily bullied?"

"What’s that? Young one, do you intend to make old me stay?"

The Three Corpses Old Demon sneered.

As an old demon of many years, he naturally possessed his confidence and pride. Gu Yuan might be formidable, but as a senior figure of the Primordial Nether Sect, was he a simple person?

"I, Gu Yuan, have always repaid kindness, but grudges even more so."

Gu Yuan remained unmoved, calmly stating: "Since you attacked me just now, I will return with a strike from my sword. Whether you can withstand it depends on your own abilities!"
