"Is this... the True Name Contract?" Chen Nan gasped heavily, gaining an understanding in his heart; when the Gu God was sealed by the ancestors of Miao Border, its true name was its greatest weakness!

"No!!" The Gu God struggled frantically, but Hu Die's father's eyes suddenly cleared.

This dying man from the Miao Border used his last strength to grab the Gu insect at his chest, showing a loving smile to his daughter: "Girl, do it!"

His gaze was complex; Chen Nan saw affection, regret, reluctance, but mostly resoluteness!

But finally, his eyes only revealed gratitude!

Because being able to see his beloved daughter before dying was fulfilling for him!

Hu Die's tears fell like rain, yet she did not hesitate to throw the silver dagger.

At the same time, Chen Nan erupted, gripping the silver dagger and precisely stabbing it into the Gu insect's head!

"Puch!"

Scarlet fluid splattered, and the entire stone chamber began to collapse.

The King of Ten Thousand Gu took the opportunity to pounce, swallowing the dying Heart-eating Gu into its belly.

Chen Nan grabbed Hu Die and rushed toward the stairs, with the Gu God's unwilling roar coming from behind: "My true form is still here, how can you possibly escape?"

The explosion's shockwave blew both of them away.

When the dust settled, the Crystal Coffin had shattered into dust, and Hu Die's father's remains dissipated into glowing specks in the air.

Hu Die, overwhelmed with grief, trembled as she picked up the silver pendant left by her father, suddenly discovering a tiny map engraved on its inner wall—pointing to the depths of the tomb.

The pendant heated in her palm, faintly transmitting her father's last intention: "Gu God's true form... is in the Yin Yang Well..."

The dust from the collapsing stone chamber had not yet settled; Chen Nan's right eye had completely transformed into a monstrous golden vertical pupil, while his left eye burned with crimson blood light.

He slowly stood upright, his bones booming like popcorn, as the power of the King of Ten Thousand Gu started to fuse with the devoured Heart-eating Gu within his body!

"Hu Die, stay close to me." His voice was deep like thunder, with an undeniable authority: "Your father can still be saved."

"Can still be saved?" Hu Die rejoiced, yet still stayed closely behind Chen Nan.

The two followed the pendant's guidance deeper into the bottom of the tomb.

The passage grew narrower, the walls seeped thick black liquid, each drop sizzling pits on the ground.

Hu Die suddenly slipped; Chen Nan reflexively caught her, grabbing a sharp stalactite hanging from above—it was not stone but a dry Gu insect mouthpiece!

"We have arrived." Chen Nan exerted force with his fingers, crushing the mouthpiece to powder.

In front, a wide open space revealed a deep well ten zhang in diameter, the water half black as ink, half red as blood—precisely the legendary Yin Yang Gu Well!

In the center of the well floated a Crystal Coffin, Hu Die's father's body wrapped in countless blood threads, slowly sinking towards the black water side.

Beside the well sat three corpses in Miao Border ritual robes, their abdomens suddenly ripping open to release three human-faced monstrous insects!

"What is going on? Wasn't my father dissipated?" Hu Die was dumbstruck seeing her father's figure, her heart surged with a towering wave!

"Those who trespass the Gu God's Well—die!" the three monstrous insects shrieked in unison.

Chen Nan sneered, suddenly erupting!

His right fist wrapped in terrifying True Qi, his left palm entwined with blood-colored Evil Qi, his figure flashed like a phantom to the first monstrous insect, punching out!

"Bang!"

The monstrous insect's human face hadn't reacted before its upper body exploded into pulp!

The remaining two retreated in terror, only to see Chen Nan stomp the ground, shaking the entire tomb.

Using the momentum to leap, his legs scissored to sever the second monstrous insect at its waist!

The last monstrous insect was so terrified it nearly burst with fear, just about to escape back into the corpse when Chen Nan grabbed its tail mid-air, swinging it like a whip toward the edge of the well—

"Pa!"

Black blood splattered as Chen Nan steadily landed at the well's edge.

Without looking at the insect corpse at his feet, he locked his gaze onto the Crystal Coffin slowly sinking: "Gu God, come out!"

The Yin Yang Well Water suddenly boiled!

A giant face composed of black and red liquid rose from the well, precisely the true form of the Gu God!

It roared deafeningly: "Foolish mortal, you have no idea what you're up against!"

Chen Nan snorted with laughter, suddenly leaping towards the center of the well!

Amidst Hu Die's exclamation, his right arm swelled in muscle, punching towards the Crystal Coffin!

"Crack!"

The coffin lid shattered; Chen Nan's left hand formed a claw, piercing Hu Die's father's chest, forcibly pulling out the half-melted Heart-eating Gu!

The Gu God let out a shrill scream, the well water congealed into countless thorns assaulting him.

"Is that all you've got?" Chen Nan laughed crazily, using his flesh to withstand all attacks.

The blood thorns pierced his shoulder, thigh, yet couldn't stop his actions.

He pinched the Heart-eating Gu with his right hand, his left palm against Hu Die's father's forehead: "Soul return!"

The King of Ten Thousand Gu's power exploded, and the Heart-eating Gu was crushed, while the Gu God's true form suffered a heavy blow.

The black and red well water surged madly, forming a Demon God with three heads and six arms, lunging!

"Good timing!" Chen Nan didn't dodge or evade, his body drenched in blood yet fighting spirit soared infinitely.

He formed ancient seal techniques with both hands, suddenly an echo like a dragon's roar erupted within him—breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement during this mortal battle!

"Boom!"

He smashed the Gu God's middle head with one punch, his left leg like a battle axe slashed open its abdomen.

The Gu God was horrified to discover that this human was devouring its strength in return!

"No! This can't be..."

The final scream abruptly ceased.

Chen Nan plunged both hands into the Gu God's remaining two heads, tearing them apart!

Amidst the black rain, he stood god-like over the well, swallowing the dispersing Gu God's remnant soul!

Hu Die stood frozen in place.

She saw Chen Nan's blood vessels bulging all over, countless things wriggling under his skin, yet he revealed a sinister and carefree smile: "Such a mere remnant soul thinks of possessing me? Do you really think you're dealing with a soft target?"

As the last vestige of Gu God's power was digested, a complete cultivation technique suddenly emerged in Chen Nan's mind—"Gu Shenjing"!

Even more astonishing, the King of Ten Thousand Gu completed its transformation in his Dantian, sprouting the twelfth pair of golden wings!

"Brother Chen, are you alright?" Hu Die tremblingly helped her awakened father but dared not approach Chen Nan, who seemed like a different person.

Hu Lie also looked tensely at Chen Nan, then at his daughter beside him, weakly saying: "Daughter, who is he?"

Hu Die softly responded: "Dad, he's the Chen Nan I've mentioned to you before!"

Hu Lie realized, then sighed: "Had I not foolishly desired to become the Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect, I wouldn't end up in such a predicament!"

"Power is a double-edged sword indeed!"

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly the earth trembled violently!

The savage aura on Chen Nan gradually calmed down, the vertical pupil in his right eye returned to normal, and he wiped the blood from his mouth, helping Hu Lie up: "This place is about to collapse, let's leave first!"
