Chapter 1471: Chapter 342: Hunting the Half-step Strongest (Three updates of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)
A place where the extraordinary becomes sacred, the void brims with rich sacred melodies, thick with the breath of the great Dao, laws surging tumultuously, incredibly active.
For cultivators of the Ascension Realm, this place is unparalleled, containing crucial opportunities that could allow them to prove their path and become the strongest!
As Gu Chen observed the small worlds forming and vanishing within the void, embodying the laws of creation, suddenly, a glint of cold light burst forth in the distance.
An uninvited guest had arrived.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in exquisite clothing, a ruler of a sacred place in the upper realm, a cultivator at the great perfection of the Ascension Realm. He was very powerful, ranked among the top within the Ascension Realm practitioners across three thousand six hundred domains.
Indeed, anyone who could enter this place was no ordinary individual; each was incredibly formidable, the cream of the crop among the Ascension Realm cultivators.
This middle-aged man naturally recognized Gu Chen. With so many Ascension Realm cultivators gathered, they were essentially competitors, and naturally, there wasn’t enough luck to go around.
Thus, this was a bloody contest, where only the strong could break through.
This middle-aged ruler, thinking that Gu Chen had only recently broken into the Ascension Realm, intended to take advantage of him.
After all, like Gu Chen’s situation, in the entire extraordinary and sacred realm, within the inner parts of the creation cave, there was only him.
"Youngster, die!" The middle-aged man’s eyes sparkled with excitement, thinking himself lucky.
On the other hand, Gu Chen’s expression remained calm, utterly unfazed, his composure terrifyingly steadfast.
Snap!
In the next moment, as the middle-aged man approached, Gu Chen casually slapped out. With a splat, blood splattered. This regional powerhouse immediately spat blood and his body flew out like a rag doll.
"You..." Gu Chen’s slap had completely stunned him.
Mainly, the upper realm was in chaos recently, and the happenings within the Evil King Mountain hadn’t spread out, so aside from the people of the East Profound Region, others were unaware of how strong Gu Chen truly was.
They only thought that Gu Chen had just entered the Ascension Realm, admiring his exceptional cultivation pace but not considering that he could match someone at the great perfection of the Ascension Realm.
But now, reality had taught him a lesson, and it stunned this powerhouse.
"Young friend... no, Young Master Gu, I misunderstood. I am willing to offer a pre-existing spiritual treasure; shall we overlook this incident?" The exquisitely dressed middle-aged man hurriedly proposed.
Gu Chen remained silent, extending his palm which seemed to encompass a world within, invincible and unstoppable. No matter how the middle-aged man tried to dodge, he was eventually caught and crushed to death.
"It seems he was from the Human Clan?" Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, noting that he did not receive any merit points.
However, this did not bother him. There were many members of different races in this cave realm, and if they dared to provoke him, they couldn’t blame Gu Chen for reaping them.
"Heavenly Eye, open!"
At this moment, not hesitating to save time, Gu Chen immediately used his four rank Great Power — Eye of the Heavens!
This divine technique, originated from the Heavenly Eye technique, was extremely powerful, capable of observing the heavens above and the abyss below, truly mighty!
Perhaps, in a way similar to its name, it represented the manifestation of a Heavenly force, bestowed upon Gu Chen.
It substantially enhanced his perceptions, making him acutely sensitive to killing intents and malevolence.
Moreover, this technique wasn’t just for observation; it was also immensely powerful in combat.
If pushed to its limits, it could transform into a realm, with endless laws as eyes, penetrating everything.
Currently, Gu Chen had only begun to use it modestly, to avoid startling any potential enemies.
With a hiss, a dazzling array of symbols manifested in his profound eyes, constructed of interwoven law patterns.
Eventually, his pupils transformed into two mysterious symbols flickering, capable of seeing through everything between heaven and earth.
"Let’s see where exactly these so-called divine medicines and source sacred objects are," Gu Chen murmured, beginning to trace the trail of these two treasures.
...
Meanwhile, in a small world within this cave realm, five figures gathered. freewebnoveℓ.com
One of them wore golden feathered robes with golden hair, looking incredibly luxurious, only his eyes were indifferent, his aura overwhelmingly domineering.
He was named Jin Hong, a half-step supreme from the Golden Roc Clan, also the strongest in the clan’s Ascension Realm.
"We gather here today, and you should all be aware of the motives behind your respective backings," he said, his golden eyes moving as he surveyed the other four.
"This Gu Chen must die; it is, aside from proving to be the strongest, the most important thing for us," spoke a man in a red robe, flames burning in his eyes. His name was Zhu Xu, like Jin Hong, a half-step supreme of the Fire Sect and its strongest Ascension Realm cultivator.
The Zhu Cheng whom Gu Chen had slain in the Sacred Realm was his younger brother, a fact that the sect master of the Fire Sect had deduced with his sky-reaching cultivation.
Therefore, among them, his grudge with Gu Chen was very real.
"Just a novice in the Ascension Realm, a youngster who hasn’t even lived a fraction of our lives; killing him would be as easy as pulling up weeds," spoke an extremely calm and distant handsome man. His name Chong Xiao, a half-step supreme from Nine Heavens Hall.
The remaining two, one had three eyes shining with divine light, named Zhan Shen, a half-step supreme from the Three-Eyed God Clan.
