Chapter 342 The Second Formation: Leaping Over the Dragon Gate
As the formation changed, the second formation finally appeared before them. Gu Yuchuan's world changed once again. This time, however, his memories were still there, but his body had also changed again. He had turned into a carp, with red and gold colors, and he looked somewhat mystical.
He was currently in a river, and something was telling him that he had to cross the Dragon Gate to break the second layer of the formation. Gu Yuchuan almost laughed out loud. Was this Dragon-Slaying Formation really for slaying dragons? It seemed to be judging whether he, this dragon, could become a qualified divine dragon. The first layer tested his character, and the second layer tested his abilities. Would there be a reward after passing this? It was simply absurd. He wanted to see the other party's expression after he successfully broke the formation.
However, he hasn't even seen the Dragon Gate yet. The Dragon Gate is ten kilometers away. The first step is for him to get to the foot of the Dragon Gate and enter the process of leaping over the Dragon Gate. Only then can he be safe. After all, when he starts leaping over the Dragon Gate, the aquatic creatures can't kill each other. But on the way, before he arrives, the aquatic creatures can still attack him at will. He only has the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, which is not high, so it is still a bit dangerous.
He immediately activated his invisibility talent. Although he no longer had magic power, these talents still existed. After all, they were within his soul and were not so easy to seal. Compared to magic power, they were much more difficult to seal. They could only be sealed by following his memories. In that case, he actually forgot that he had talents, rather than truly losing them.
He noticed that many aquatic creatures were also rushing forward beside him. It seemed the Dragon Gate truly attracted a large number of aquatic creatures; indeed, leaping over the Dragon Gate was a grand event for all aquatic species. No matter what kind of aquatic creature you were, as long as you wanted and had the ability, you could gain sufficient dragon bloodline after passing through it and have the possibility of transforming into a dragon. However, only carp and snakes could truly become real dragons; others would become some kind of dragon, since their innate nature was not very similar to that of dragons, making it quite difficult for them to become dragons. Even so, having some dragon bloodline would greatly enhance their abilities.
Along the way, Gu Yuchuan witnessed a great deal of carnage. After all, with so many demons around, there must have been some that had committed atrocities. They didn't have much interest in leaping over the Dragon Gate, but they couldn't resist killing and devouring the lesser demons on the road. However, killing these lesser demons meant losing the qualification to leap over the Dragon Gate, and the Dragon Gate would certainly not allow cultivators who obstructed others from leaping over to pass through.
For example, the crocodile in front of Gu Yuchuan was a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core stage. He had just devoured a grass carp at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage and was in a very happy mood. He felt that the Dragon Gate Leap was an opportunity for him. There were too many small demons here that he could not find in normal times. He felt that his harvest today was very great. Suddenly, he noticed Gu Yuchuan.
"Oh no," Gu Yuchuan thought to himself. It seemed that the other party had some kind of eye technique or method. Otherwise, such a slight difference in cultivation level would be impossible to tell. He was a little anxious and didn't know what to do. It was really difficult for a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator to fight against a Golden Core cultivator.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. Wait a minute, he was the Azure Dragon Demon King Gu Yuchuan, not just any ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. His talent was still there, even if his magic power was reduced, there was still a big difference between him and a real Foundation Establishment cultivator. It seemed that this was the first hurdle of his second formation: a Foundation Establishment cultivator killing a Golden Core cultivator.
He really wasn't afraid. A cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core stage didn't seem to have any powerful bloodline. Killing him was no big deal; there was nothing difficult about it.
His eyes turned fierce: "I advise you to step aside. It wasn't easy for you to become a Golden Core cultivator. I am not a murderer. If you step aside now, I can pretend nothing happened. But if you are stubborn, then I will definitely kill you."
The crocodile laughed as if it had heard the funniest joke in the world. The stench emanating from its gaping maw made Gu Yuchuan feel nauseous. Did this crocodile not brush its teeth? How could it have such a strong, disgusting smell? It was simply outrageous.
"You little fish in the Foundation Establishment stage dare to speak to me like that? I love eating carp the most. You all have some dragon blood in your veins. Eating you will be of great benefit to me. You are so arrogant. I will eat you properly and turn you into my nourishment. Are you ready to die?"
Gu Yuchuan instinctively reached for his spear, but his magic weapon hadn't appeared. Oh well, he'd have to use magic. For now, he'd just have to be a pure mage. Fortunately, his advanced water manipulation talent provided a significant boost in water.
With a thought, countless whirlpools appeared in the water.
Outside, Qionghua's heart pounded again. She had lived under the Cangzhu River since she was a child and had never seen any prodigies. Naturally, she didn't know that true prodigies could fight against opponents of different realms. She thought there was an insurmountable chasm between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, which no one could cross. Therefore, she didn't know that the Foundation Establishment stage could also contend with the Golden Core stage. It wasn't that she didn't trust her king, but that she simply didn't have this awareness.
However, Tianpeng Demon Emperor had no worries at all. He could tell that Gu Yuchuan was dealing with it very easily. A cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core stage was no match for him. He sensed Qionghua's condition beside him.
"You should have more faith in your King. As the number one prodigy of Yunhai Marsh and the second prodigy of Qingyun Realm, his strength and potential far exceed your imagination. No, he is now much stronger than that Holy Son of Longhu Mountain. It is said that the Holy Son is only at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. Such a speed of improvement is unprecedented. However, compared to the Azure Dragon Demon King, he is still inferior. Just watch, this crocodile won't even last a hundred moves."
Qionghua herself couldn't understand it, but she knew that the Demon Emperor's vision was definitely much better than hers, and what he said must be correct. She nodded vigorously and continued to look into the formation.
The Canglan Realm side was much more confident. They weren't cultivators capable of challenging those of higher levels, so naturally they didn't believe Gu Yuchuan could do it. They jokingly assumed that Gu Yuchuan would die here before even seeing the Dragon Gate.
