"Dark Claw Gu, Shadow Escape Gu, somewhat interesting, but far from enough!" Liu Chen recognized the two Gu worms used by the Shadow Beast King of Beasts at a glance, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly into a disdainful smile.
He was not intimidated by the Shadow Beast King of Beasts' move; instead, it further ignited his fighting spirit. He continued to unleash his killer moves, the long blade in his hand constantly flashing with cold light. Blade Light poured down like dense raindrops, and the shadow beasts were successively cut down under this terrifying Blade Light, screaming repeatedly.
"Didn't I tell you he'd come out? He truly is cunning!" Liu Chen watched the Shadow Beast King of Beasts slowly emerge from the shadows, a cold sneer involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He continuously activated his killer moves, mercilessly slaying all the shadow beasts. Now, he had finally seen the leader of the shadow beast horde. Liu Chen was secretly delighted; as long as he could kill this Beast King, he would be able to smoothly receive the remaining Legacy.
Deprived of the cover of the other shadow beasts, the Shadow Beast King of Beasts' strength was clearly greatly reduced. Liu Chen's confidence surged even more at this sight. With a flash of his Blade Light, he struck the Shadow Beast King of Beasts like lightning. The Beast King couldn't even dodge and was instantly cut down by the blade.
As the Beast King fell, four Gu worms suddenly emerged from its corpse. Liu Chen looked closely and couldn't help but be surprised: "How can there be two token Gu?"
He stared at the two token Gu in confusion. As for the other two Dark Claw Gu and Shadow Escape Gu, Liu Chen simply refined them casually and placed them into his Aperture. However, his gaze remained fixed on the two remaining token Gu.
After some observation, Liu Chen recognized that one of the token Gu was a Gu worm that could enslave shadow beasts. He thought to himself: "If I hadn't killed all these shadow beasts, this Gu worm might have been useful. It's a pity that these shadow beasts have all perished in the Yellow Springs, so this Gu worm has lost its value."
Despite this, Liu Chen decided to keep this Third Rank Shadow Beast Token for now. Perhaps he would encounter shadow beasts in other places in the future, and then this Gu worm might be able to play a role.
The remaining token Gu had the character "He" clearly engraved on it. Without a doubt, this was the key proof for passing this stage.
However, this time Liu Chen did not rush to continue through the stage as before. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a Fortress Gu from a treasure chest he had opened in his System backpack. After he injected true essence into this Gu worm, it instantly underwent a miraculous transformation, turning into an incredibly sturdy fortress in the blink of an eye.
Before entering the fortress, Liu Chen specifically had the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider guard the entrance, just in case of any unexpected situations. After everything was arranged, he stepped inside the fortress.
Upon entering the fortress, Liu Chen first found a suitable spot, lit a fire, and started cooking. Soon, wafts of fragrance drifted out from the fortress. Once the meal was ready, Liu Chen heartily enjoyed it, then contentedly lay down in the room, preparing to get some good rest.
After all, having gone through two trials consecutively, although Liu Chen was not injured, the mental exertion from continuously activating killer moves still left him feeling exceptionally fatigued. Therefore, he urgently needed to recover his physical and mental strength through sleep.
As expected, the moment Liu Chen's body touched the bed, his consciousness quickly blurred, and he soon fell into a dream.
Liu Chen slept soundly and deeply. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had no idea how much time had passed in this Legacy land.
However, what pleased him was that after this rest, his physical and mental fatigue had completely disappeared.
Liu Chen quickly put away the Fortress Gu and the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider, then unhesitatingly continued along the Legacy path. Before long, he indeed saw a stone door, standing quietly ahead.
Liu Chen took a deep breath, continuously pouring the true essence within his body into the token Gu he had obtained earlier. Instantly, the token Gu burst forth with a dazzling golden light, like a golden arrow rain, shining directly onto the stone door.
As the golden light shone, the originally tightly closed stone door slowly opened as if by magic. Accompanied by a dull "creak," the stone door fully opened, revealing the scene inside the room.
Liu Chen looked closely and found that the style of this room was quite similar to the previous one, but with some subtle changes in detail. At the entrance of the room, stood a huge stone tablet, with two pairs of sabers and swords stuck into it.
And in the center of the room, a large bronze cauldron was placed. Around the cauldron, various precious gu materials were scattered. These gu materials were all protected by the power of Gu worms, maintaining their original state.
Liu Chen cautiously walked forward, carefully examining the bronze cauldron and the surrounding gu materials. His gaze finally fell upon the inscription on the stone tablet, where the characters were clearly visible.
"Fated person of later generations, since you have already passed two stages consecutively, this stage is unrelated to combat power. This is my unique secret formula, the Four-Turn Blade Light Sword Shadow Gu... As long as you can refine this Gu worm, you will be able to split open the wall at the end. If not, then the time has not yet come, please return next time."
Liu Chen looked closely and saw that the wall at the end of the room was a bluish-black, like a huge qing gang stone. He only took a quick glance but immediately noticed the extraordinary nature of this wall — it was an entire piece of qing gang stone!
qing gang stone, this is an extremely precious gu material, its main purpose being to refine Rank Five Gold Dao defensive Gu worms. Even unrefined, qing gang stone itself possesses powerful defensive capabilities, enough to withstand the fierce attacks of ordinary Rank Five Gu worms. For this reason, it has become the preferred Materials for various Families when building their Family secret chambers.
"It seems Ping Du He clearly believes that the Four-Turn Blade Light Sword Shadow Gu can Breakthrough the defense of this Green Steel Stone Wall," Liu Chen mused to himself, "Then, this Four-Turn Gu worm must not be underestimated!"
Liu Chen couldn't help but recall the information he had seen on the inscription earlier, and his anticipation for this Gu recipe grew. He already possessed the Blade Light Gu and Sword Shadow Gu, and with the Gu worms left here, he could perform three more refinements at most.
The orthodox advancement directions for Blade Light Gu and Sword Shadow Gu are Grand Blade Light Gu and Multi-Layered Sword Shadow Gu, respectively. However, the Blade Light Sword Shadow Gu takes a unique approach, cleverly fusing the two Gu worms together to form a completely new Gu worm.
