Forging the Third Layer of the Dao Platform

Lin Junchang slowly descended, hovering three zhang in front of Gu Yang. In his pitch-black pupils devoid of whites, a perverted light flickered.

"This Blood Demon Fetus, I watched it grow up."

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. "Every night, after that old thing fed Qingwan the 'Warm Sun Pill', I would quietly sneak into her boudoir."

"She slept very deeply, like a porcelain doll."

"I would press my ear against her lower abdomen, listening to the heartbeat coming from inside. Thump, thump, thump... That wasn't just the heartbeat of the demon fetus, it was also my heartbeat."

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow, playing along at the right moment, "Oh? Young Master Lin's brother-sister bond is truly... deep."

"Brother-sister bond? Hahahaha!"

Lin Junchang acted as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, laughing so hard he leaned forward and back, even that crystal-clear body trembling.

"Did you think the 'Warm Sun Pill' that old thing fed to Qingwan only contained spirit herbs?"

He lowered his voice, his tone becoming gloomy and sticky:

"Inside it, there was my blood, and even the Ghost Dao Yin Essence I cultivated over the past three years!"

"That old thing thought he was raising a pig, little did he know, he was raising a son for me!"

"That idiot Qingwan still thought I was a useless brother who could only serve tea and pour water. Every time she finished drinking the medicine, she would hold my hand and cry, saying she burdened the family and that she let me down."

A twisted sneer appeared on Lin Junchang's face:

"She didn't even know that every night when her abdomen was in agonizing pain, I was hiding under her bed!"

"I smelled the cold fragrance emitting from her body and listened to her painful groans. That was the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life!"

"Just yesterday, when she tried on her wedding dress, she even asked me if she looked beautiful."

"I said she looked beautiful. Of course she did! That was a sacrifice prepared to welcome my new body, a burial shroud for my rebirth ceremony, how could it not look beautiful?"

Speaking of this, Lin Junchang suddenly opened his arms. The blood fiend aura behind him transformed into countless hideous ghost faces, roaring in the void.

"Now, we have finally merged into one."

"Our family of three will be together forever!"

"What a perfect ending this is!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't you agree?"

In the corner.

Ji Shuanghua's scalp went numb as she listened, her stomach churning.

A madman.

This was a true madman!

Compared to this pervert, Gu Yang's behavior of stepping on her like trash was as pure as a saint!

Gu Yang listened quietly, the expression on his face unchanging.

It wasn't until Lin Junchang finished speaking that he sighed softly.

"Are you done?"

Gu Yang raised his eyelids, and a trace of pity finally appeared in his ancient-well-like calm eyes.

"If you're done, then hit the road."

"After all, the most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy together."

The smile on Lin Junchang's face froze.

Immediately after, a surge of furious rage from being looked down upon welled up in his heart.

"You shameless bastard!"

"Since you are in such a hurry to die, this seat will grant your wish! Offer your essence blood to me as well, as a congratulatory gift for my ascension to the Golden Core stage!"

Boom!

Lin Junchang moved.

That tiny pink body instantly erupted with a terrifying speed capable of tearing through the air.

He didn't use any flashy spells.

Just a simple, straightforward punch!

Relying on the formidable physical body of the Blood Demon Fetus, which was comparable to a magical treasure, if this punch landed solidly, not to mention a Qi Condensation cultivator, even Zhu Lie at the late Foundation Establishment stage would be blown to pieces on the spot!

"Die!!"

The fist wind howled, carrying a nauseating stench of blood, instantly approaching Gu Yang's face.

However.

Facing this sure-kill strike, Gu Yang didn't even blink an eye.

He merely moved his lips, softly spitting out a single word:

"Detonate."

At this very moment.

Lin Junchang, who was originally menacing and full of sinister smiles, suddenly let out a miserable, blood-curdling scream.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

This scream did not come from his throat, but from the depths of his soul!

Inside his crystal-clear, flawless pink body, a speck of golden light suddenly lit up.

The golden light was initially only the size of a pinhead, located right in the center of his dantian's spiritual sea.

Which was exactly where the Nine Nether Soul-Locking Flame had been entrenched earlier.

That was a sliver of the Great Sun True Fire that Gu Yang had mixed into that cluster of ordinary flames and sent into the bronze sphere before the grand melee began!

Extreme yang and extreme hardness, making all flames submit!

The Nine Nether Soul-Locking Flame was originally an extremely cold and yin ghost fire. After being devoured by the Blood Demon Fetus, it had merged entirely with this extremely yin demonic body.

At this moment.

A spark fell into a barrel of oil.

Boom!

That sliver of Great Sun True Fire caused a violent reaction inside the Blood Demon Fetus's body.

"This... What is this?! My body... My fire!"

Lin Junchang looked at his stomach in horror.

It looked as if he had swallowed a miniature sun. The blinding golden light pierced directly through his translucent skin, illuminating every blood vessel and bone inside his body in meticulous detail!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

That was the sound of melting ice and snow.

It was the most instinctual fear and demise of an extreme yin entity upon encountering the extreme yang true fire.

The Nine Nether Soul-Locking Flame that he was so proud of inside his body, upon encountering this sliver of true fire, actually acted like a subject meeting its natural predator, not daring to resist at all.

"No!! How could this be!!"

"My power... My demonic body!!"

The punch Lin Junchang had initially thrown at Gu Yang instantly went soft.

He clutched his stomach in agony, curling up in mid-air. The terrifying quasi-Golden Core pressure emanating from his body leaked out wildly like a punctured balloon.

"You... What exactly did you do?!"

Lin Junchang raised his head, his twisted ghost face filled with despair and bewilderment.

Gu Yang did not answer.

He merely looked calmly at the burning fire man before him and slowly clenched his right fist.

At this very moment.

The Great Sun Heaven Burning Sutra inside Gu Yang's body circulated madly, and the five-colored lotus platform in his dantian rumbled.

Gu Yang stomped his foot fiercely.

Boom!

The ground cracked, and he shot forward like a cannonball, instantly appearing in front of Lin Junchang.

Without any flashiness.

An unadorned, simple punch slammed fiercely into Lin Junchang's twisted face!

"In your next life, be a good person."

Bang!!!

A loud explosion echoed throughout the entire underground space.

Golden flames exploded like fireworks, instantly swallowing Lin Junchang's shrill wails.

...

As the smoke cleared, the Crimson Flame Suspended Platform looked like an Asura battlefield that had just been plowed over.

The dark red rocky ground took on a bizarre glazed texture, the mark of being instantaneously melted by high temperatures and then solidifying.

A nauseating burnt stench lingered in the air, the aftermath of Lin Junchang's divine soul and sins being thoroughly evaporated.

Before that unparalleled, overbearing Great Sun True Fire, Lin Junchang, along with the twisted shell of the Blood Demon Fetus, turned into nothingness in an instant.

However, after the flames dispersed, an object floated in the void.

It was a fist-sized crystal, entirely crimson like a blood diamond.
