Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Seeing this, Lin Yan felt a surge of satisfaction. At this stage, the refinement was complete. However, this Dishonest Gu could only exist for ten breaths before dissipating on its own.

Lin Yan did not hesitate. He immediately activated the Dishonest Gu. Under the flickering lights of blue, green, and pink, a deep purple smoky aura began to spread across his entire body.

The smoky aura trembled and churned violently under the continuous roar of the phantom lion head. After two breaths, all the smoke condensed into the shape of a Vow Gu phantom.

With a single thought, Lin Yan commanded the lion head to open its jaws and swallow it whole. As it chewed fiercely, the Vow Gu let out a sharp, unwilling cry before suddenly falling silent.

A few breaths later, the phantom lion head gave a soft pop and shattered into a rain of three-colored light.

The Vow Gu had been completely removed. Lin Yan immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout his body. He then inspected his aperture. Within the silver primeval sea, several powerful Gu moved freely, their auras stable and refined. A faint smile appeared on his lips, he had successfully replaced his entire set with Rank 3 Gu.

At this moment, his Rank 3 Gu included: Exploding Fireball Gu, Flame Armor Gu, Treading Fire Gu, Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze Gu, Borrow Fire Gu, Fire Source Gu, Burning Wind Gu, Seven Fragrance Liquor Worm, Dream Derivation Gu, Elder Gu, White Silver Relic Gu, and Glass Flame Bone Gu, which had already been fully integrated into his body.

A total of twelve. Among them, the first four were refined step by step from Fireball Gu, Fire Armor Gu, Walking Fire Gu, and Fire Eye Gu, corresponding to attack, defense, movement, and detection.

Dream Derivation Gu, Seven Fragrance Liquor Worm, Borrow Fire Gu, Elder Gu, and White Silver Relic Gu required no further explanation.

Fire Source Gu had evolved from Fire Coal Gu, capable of reducing the primeval essence consumption of Rank 3 Flame Path Gu by half. Burning Wind Gu had similarly been refined from Cool Wind Gu, able to release scorching winds reaching several hundred degrees.

As for the remaining Gu, the Rank 2 Fire Aperture Gu had all been consumed, while the Rank 1 Fire Pattern Gu had also been fully used.

Lin Yan had completely streamlined his setup, retaining only Rank 3 Gu and eliminating everything below. Moreover, the feeding requirements of his core Gu were all supported by the Huang Family, greatly easing his burden.

The Four Elements Gu Formation could no longer be assembled. With Fire Coal Gu and Cool Wind Gu already upgraded, he simply sold off the remaining components of Formation Core Gu, Sand Pit Gu, and Clear Water Gu.

Yet, Lin Yan’s combat strength did not weaken in the slightest. Instead, it surged forward by leaps and bounds. The Flame Demon True Body killer move was now fully formed, and he even had the foundation to derive Prairie Fire and Flame Extreme Sky Blade.

After all, no matter how refined the Four Elements Gu Formation was, it remained a Rank 1 formation. Its enhancement for Rank 2 Gu was already its limit; it simply could not support Rank 3.

Now, relying solely on the complete set of Fire Pattern, Fire Aperture, and Glass Flame Bone, Lin Yan could already achieve over fifty percent amplification for Rank 3 Gu under normal conditions. When all five fire apertures erupted simultaneously, the boost became even more terrifying. Combined with the inherent strength of Rank 3 Gu, which far surpassed Rank 2, the difference was immense.

Once he activated the Flame Demon True Body, even a single Gu could unleash power approaching Rank 4. Holding off a Rank 4 opponent for a short time was no longer an exaggeration.

Of course, the Family’s Rank 4 experts also possessed their own killer moves, so his true strength was still somewhat inferior in direct comparison. However, when facing loose cultivators or demonic path Gu Masters outside—those lacking such complete combat systems, he would have a real chance of victory.

”The Flame Demon killer move is complete. Next, I’ll focus on Prairie Fire, and at the same time refine my soul, using Dream Derivation Gu as the core to deduce Dream Path killer moves.”

Lin Yan’s eyes gleamed faintly. He could already sense that the advancement of his vital Gu to Rank 3 would greatly enhance his ability to develop killer moves.

Soon after, he ended his seclusion and returned to the Flame Lake Gu Chamber, heading straight to the fourth floor to purchase Rank 3 Sparks Gu and Splash Gu. There was no alternative—Sparks Gu itself began at Rank 3, and as for Splash Gu, being a Rule Path Gu, the Huang Family did not even possess its refinement method.

Both were rare Gu, and their prices reflected that. In total, he spent twenty thousand primeval stones.

After the purchase, Lin Yan was left with four hundred fifty thousand primeval stones. Fortunately, Prairie Fire was now complete, and he possessed a total of fourteen Rank 3 Gu.

After this, he wisely chose to stop. Feeding Gu was a heavy burden. Although he currently had sufficient wealth, he could not afford to waste it recklessly. Moreover, he still needed time to become familiar with these new Gu, continue training within the dream realm, and refine his control. Using killer moves in actual combat required precise multitasking and always carried the risk of failure.

Fortunately, Lin Yan had access to the accumulated experience of countless Huang Family seniors within the Flame Path True Inheritance, along with the foundation he had already built through his own research. As a result, his mastery progressed rapidly.

And as the month came to an end, the beast tide finally erupted.
