I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Of course, if the warriors of the Southern Frontier were only like this, they would not become a major threat to the imperial court.

The power of Gu magic lies in the natal Gu, which is nurtured by the blood essence of martial artists and is far more powerful than ordinary Gu worms.

The old man in front of him had never expected these ordinary Gu worms to work; they were just a smokescreen.

The real killer move is hidden in that golden natal divine Gu!

A golden Gu worm, smaller than ordinary Gu worms, easily broke through Ye Kang's skin and burrowed inside, soon touching his flesh.

At this moment, a vast surge of golden true energy burst forth, directly enveloping the Gu worm.

As if sensing some great terror, the Gu worm instinctively tried to flee back, but the golden true energy would not let it go. A storm swept through, like the rising sun, and the domineering true intent contained within directly burned the Gu worm into powder.

"puff!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sensing that his natal divine Gu had lost contact with him, his strength and realm were also affected, dropping significantly, and he suffered irreversible backlash injuries!

"How is this possible! What kind of martial art does this person practice! How can it suppress my natal Gu!"

Overwhelmed by astonishment and filled with deep fear, the old man roared, "Don't linger! Run!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blade slashed down, splitting him in two.

The six people fighting the masked man were terrified and tried to escape, but the opportunity was fleeting. Ye Kang did not stop at all, and quickly approached with his Shadow Step. His Hundred Flowers Sword Qi flew out as if cutting melons and vegetables.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several bursts of blood mist erupted, instantly killing six people.

Ye Kang landed smoothly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

so close.

When the golden Gu worm burrowed in just now, I was really flustered for a moment and quickly used my Imperial True Qi to stop it.

Unexpectedly, the Imperial True Qi is so powerful, not only suppressing evil arts but also suppressing Gu worms, as if it were a natural nemesis.

The former emperor who created this martial art was simply a genius!

Ye Kang glanced at the attribute panel. After killing so many people, his comprehension had reached eight thousand.

There was nothing he could do; these people weren't strong enough to drop many gold coins.

He turned to look at the two masked men, who were already covered in wounds, but still carefully huddled together, wary of Ye Kang.

They were nearly killed by those six people, but this person killed them in the blink of an eye. It was terrifying!

One of them spoke up, "Senior, we will never reveal what happened today! Please spare our lives!"

Ye Kang shook his head helplessly, then reached behind him with his right hand, and when he took it out again, he had a black mask in his hand.

Ye Kang put on the mask and said, "I will have to trouble you two to force out the Gu worms from the bodies of these townspeople."

The two masked men were dumbfounded.

No!

This guy is so strong, yet he's a masked man!

Isn't he one of these people from southern Xinjiang?

Ye Kang didn't explain to them, but simply said, "The credit for this is yours. Just go back and report after saving the people. Don't ask too many questions."

"Yes!"

The two breathed a sigh of relief and dared not refute.

I thought the mission would fail and I would die, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Not only did I survive, but I also received credit. It was truly a blessing from heaven.

The two happily went to rescue the townspeople.

Ye Kang then searched through the corpses of these Gu people from the Southern Frontier, looking for any treasures.

He didn't want to expose Mr. Kang's relationship with Ye Kang, and the mission rewards from the Qinglin branch were useless to him, so giving the credit to these two was the best choice.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Kang frowned as he finished searching the last corpse.

“So poor.”

He sighed helplessly. These Gu people from the Southern Frontier looked impressive, but they had very little gold and silver on them, and their martial arts skills were not worth mentioning. They were not even as good as Ye Kang's own martial arts. He could only put the secret manuals into the ancient treasures as a mere collection.

Their main cultivation technique is the same as Mr. Kang's, the Exquisite Immortal Gu Technique, which Ye Kang already possessed.

As for weapons and treasures, Ye Kang might have been interested in them in the past, but at his current level, they are just scrap metal.

"What a pile of garbage."

Ye Kang shook his head and looked at the two people who had rescued the townspeople.

These townspeople are all under the influence of a curse, which is why they are unable to control their own lives.

Once those Gu worms are no longer under control, it's not difficult to force them out; two fifth-grade Xiantian martial artists could do it easily.

One by one, the townspeople snapped out of their daze, looked at the people around them, and burst into despair and wept bitterly.

There's nothing that can be done. Under the control of the Gu worms, they act entirely on instinct, and the people around them might even be their relatives... In short, only time can help them forget this nightmare, and Ye Kang can't help them either.

After a while, all the townspeople regained consciousness, and the system notification sounded.

Mission Completed: Rescue Guyun Town

[Task Reward: Comprehension]

……

"Senior, this was found under the floor of the restaurant. It should be the Gu eggs that these thieves planted."

The two masked men respectfully handed over a jade box.

The jade box was pure white and flawless, emanating a faint chill. Inside, one could vaguely see a tiny Gu worm egg.

Ye Kang recalled what the old man had said earlier: the reason they controlled these townspeople was to refine the Blissful Union Gu, which must be this very thing.

However, since the Gu worm had not yet been refined, Ye Kang did not care. He casually took it and quietly put it into the Moyu Ancient Treasure.

Having accomplished his task, Ye Kang didn't linger. He simply instructed the two masked men to properly settle the poor villagers before riding away.

When the two men saw Ye Kang's magnificent red-maned horse, their heads nearly exploded.

"Holy crap! Isn't that the horse that kid we were fighting over riding?!"

“That’s right…it’s because of this fine steed that we missed it. The horse is here, but the rider is nowhere to be seen. Could it be…”

A bold idea arose in their minds, but they both wisely shook their heads.

"Perhaps we misread it."

"That's right. Just go back and claim your reward. We know nothing else."

……

Ye Kang ran out into the wilderness, found a deserted hill, and stood on the top of it.

As his inner energy circulated, wisps of moonlight shone down and merged into Ye Kang's body.

Having confirmed that the status had reached its peak, Ye Kang summoned the system.

"Comprehend the Chaos Strike."

【Ding】

[Host consumes Enlightenment Points to enter the Chaos Realm]

……

With a flash of light, Ye Kang entered a period of comprehension.

Before my eyes, the stars twinkled. In the universe, there seemed to be an eight-armed demon god, holding a giant drill, chiseling at a planet. The planet remained unchanged, but the rich vitality contained within it vanished in an instant, turning it into a dead star.

In the blink of an eye, life on the planet vanished, civilization crumbled, and it became a speck of dust in the vast universe.

Ye Kang suddenly opened his eyes, his hands unconsciously clasped together, and when he separated them, a golden energy emanated from his palms, enveloping his fists.

He aimed at a towering ancient tree in front of him and unleashed a furious right punch.

The fist, imbued with golden energy, struck the tree bark without causing any damage!

The ancient tree swayed only slightly, appearing unchanged.

But Ye Kang clearly felt that this punch had pulverized the heartwood of the ancient tree, leaving only a complete piece of bark in front of him.

"Shoot the bull from across the mountain!"

"No, it's a more refined application of internal energy, attacking only the inside without harming the outside. No, it should be that the internal energy penetrates the defense and strikes the vital point!"

Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
