But that was not enough. Chen Xiaohan now wanted to make her Gu worms even more powerful!
The thunder tribulation in the sky was the forging hammer for her Blood Gu.
The Blood Gu that surrounded her or were inside her were constantly annihilated under the power of the thunder tribulation, while Chen Xiaohan frantically used her own blood qi to create new Blood Gu.
By enduring the tribulation together with her, even with a probability of one in tens of thousands, some Blood Gu might still survive the thunder tribulation.
Some Blood Gu were very cunning. They madly devoured other Blood Gu, and also absorbed Chen Xiaohan's blood qi, gradually undergoing transformation under the bombardment of the thunder tribulation.
Chen Xiaohan was also experiencing terrible pain. Cultivating this technique was a competition of ruthlessness with the Gu worms.
Soon, as the dark clouds dispersed, the Shitian clan members who had been near her were almost wiped out.
Inside her body, nearly ten thousand Blood Gu had completed their terrifying evolution.
Everyone stared at this formidable woman. Having just survived the tribulation, though her flesh and blood were mangled, she had not been killed by the thunder tribulation.
Furthermore, she had advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior. Please help me hold them off a bit longer. This battle has already been won..."
Daku and Lakon were also infuriated by Qiu Yun. Seeing Chen Xiaohan successfully pass her tribulation and ascend to a higher level of power, they were shocked and enraged. They poured all their might into their attacks, causing Qiu Yun's aura to weaken further.
From the moment Qiu Yun stepped onto the battlefield, he had no intention of surviving. When he heard Chen Xiaohan ask him to hold them off a bit longer, he knew this woman would not disappoint him.
He let out a great laugh, "With my path, I will pave the way for humanity's future!"
"Boom!"
His Dao fruit exploded with a "boom!"
Qiu Yun self-destructed his Dao fruit, just like Su Tianye had done previously. Su Tianye had self-destructed his Dao fruit immediately after becoming an immortal, forcefully killing four eighth-stage beings.
As for Qiu Yun, he was a truly ordinary immortal, already fifty thousand years old.
He had attained enlightenment as an immortal in his twilight years, but he was still an ordinary immortal. His Dao was [Wind].
Its destructive power was insufficient, and it lacked any special Dao charm.
But that didn't matter. He was now going to return this Dao fruit to this world.
A strong wind howled, and Qiu Yun transformed into the eye of a hurricane, like a black hole, devouring everything around him.
Daku and Lakon were also shocked by Qiu Yun's sacrifice. Burning one's Dao fruit, if extinguished in time, would at most result in a decline in cultivation. However, self-destructing one's Dao fruit meant, just like their [Demon Body Sacrifices to Heaven], a permanent loss of life.
Yan Xing turned his head, his eyes crimson, his pupils about to split.
"Old Qiu!!!"
Qiu Yun was Yan Xing's senior. In his youth, he had also mentored Yan Xing.
Yet now, he could only watch this senior die before his very eyes.
All the human race members showed grief. The death of any immortal was a significant blow to them!
Chen Xiaohan was silent. She didn't know what expression to put on.
For him to so readily sacrifice his life to buy her time, how much trust did he place in her?
She was a cold-blooded person, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Qiu Yun, who was in such a poor state, to help her hold them off.
But now, she was furious, so furious that she wanted to go on a killing spree!
Even as Qiu Yun transformed into the eye of the wind, he only managed to trap the two peak eighth-stage Shitian clan members, rather than expending all his effort to kill one.
Chen Xiaohan waved her hand with a cold expression.
"Corpse Transformation!"
Instantly, all the Shitian clan corpses that had been poisoned began to twitch, and their bodies turned purple.
"Blood Gu!"
The Blood Gu that had just successfully evolved, under Chen Xiaohan's control, sped towards the battlefield.
These Blood Gu all targeted the seventh-stage Shitian clan members.
"You're courting death! This poison doesn't affect us seventh-stage beings!"
"Heh heh! It seems that in their rage, humans truly become stupid!"
"Directly refine her Gu worms and let her suffer the backlash..."
However, these were Blood Gu that had survived an attack comparable to a Tribulation of the Great Vehicle!
They didn't even need to pierce wounds; they directly penetrated the opponents' chests, drawing out a line of blood.
"What? No! How is this possible!"
The blood qi of all the Shitian clan members fighting was frantically devoured, and at the same time, all their internal organs were contaminated by the potent poison.
The Mahayana cultivators fighting them seized the opportunity and entered berserk mode!
And the previously corpse-transformed bodies also surged into the crowd of Shitian clan members and self-destructed.
Clusters of purple mist bloomed in the air, accompanied by screams.
But it wasn't over yet. Chen Xiaohan grabbed a handful of top-grade fifth-grade Qi Replenishment Pills and stuffed them into her mouth.
Her depleted spiritual energy was quickly replenished.
These pills were refined by Xue Qianwei, and their effect was excellent.
"Blood Butterflies..."
The bodies of the Shitian clan members, now parasitized by Blood Gu, began to rot. Beautiful blood butterflies emerged from their bodies. These blood butterflies flapped their wings and spread their contamination to other unparasitized Shitian clan members...
This was the power of a poison cultivator who was not targeted in the backline. If left unchecked, one person could become an entire battlefield.
However, it was rare for poison cultivators to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm normally.
Most either died before reaching this realm or went berserk.
Seeing the battlefield begin to spiral out of control, Yituo Xiang and Yituo Shi both showed panic. With so many of their kin, couldn't they find anyone to stop Chen Xiaohan?
But the nightmare had just begun. That [Primordial Verdant Lotus] in the sky began to sway, emitting a strong radiance, and then a group of panting young people emerged.
Wang Teng was still carrying the corpse of De Aibi.
"Damn it! My [Pillar of Heaven] is much more useful, old brother Qingyun! Your Green Lotus interface is too large, he could run too far!"
But Li Qingyun frowned as he looked at the hurricane vortex that Qiu Yun had transformed into.
"We... have an immortal who sacrificed himself."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, recalling the old man named Qiu Yun whom Yan Xing had entrusted to them before the expedition.
They then looked at Chen Xiaohan and the Shitian clan army, who were in a miserable state due to the potent poison.
They somehow understood what had happened.
Wang Teng took a deep breath, and the ferocious armor on his body reappeared. He was furious now.
"Brothers! Follow me and kill!!"
