859 -601: Pacify the Nine Provinces
Gu Chen activated his divine art—Celestial Sword, and in an instant, sword energy filled the heavens and earth, as if on a pilgrimage, causing even the high-grade magical instruments to incessantly hum and buzz.
At the same time, an extremely bright and dazzling sword light emerged, as if it came from beyond the skies, like a celestial being descending, splendid to the extreme and also resplendent to the utmost, stunningly indescribable and leaving one unable to articulate its beauty in words.
There was no denying that this was a killing move, and at the same time, this move was also beautiful to the extreme, causing one to fall into it irresistibly.
The sword light, like a stretch of satin, was like a divine rainbow illuminating the heavens and earth, shooting straight into the nine heavens.
In front of this blazingly peerless sword light, the entire continent momentarily dimmed.
No one could describe the brilliance and splendor of this strike, nor the speed of this sword light, which, to some extent, represented the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
The ingenuity of it was like a fleeting steed or a gazelle hanging by its horn, leaving absolutely no trace to be found.
In terms of power, this was not merely a simple strike; its momentum was dazzling and swift, or to put it differently, it was not just a streak of sword light, but the wrath of the Thunder God, embodying the strike of lightning!
Flawless and impeccable, this was the best description of the move Celestial Sword, even without a sword in Gu Chen’s hand, the power of this divine art remained overwhelmingly strong, reigning supreme over the continent!
No, not just the continent, even in the upper realm, such a beautiful and powerful sword move, or divine art, was extremely rare!
At this moment, Gu Yan, the target of Celestial Sword, couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably, with waves of coldness seeping out from his bones.
The edge of this strike was terrifying beyond description, powerful to the point of being unstoppable!
“Divine art?!”
The ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty wore an expression of disbelief, showing such a face for the first time.
No matter what, he couldn’t imagine that Gu Chen had mastered a divine art, and even at the Celestial Realm!
Even if mentioned in the upper realm, it would seem like a wild and unreal tale, something that simply could not happen!
All of this seemed slow, but it happened in the blink of an eye, over in an instant.
With a wet slash, the body of Gu Yan, the ninth prince, was split in two by a sword light from Celestial Sword, his blood and innards spilled all over the ground in a somewhat horrific scene.
As a renowned prodigy of the upper realm, he was slain by Gu Chen in just a single encounter.
Huang Yun, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was utterly shocked at this moment.
“Di…
vine art?!”
He was incredulous, his voice trembling as if he was submerged in a dream, unable to complete even those two words.
Because all of this was too unreal, a Celestial Realm being mastering a divine art—it was a dream one dared not have, and even if spread to the upper realm, no one would believe it, thinking the speaker had gone mad.
In a world where even the grandest of realms couldn’t achieve this, Gu Chen, situated in the lower realm, managed to do just that, making it all the more horrifying!
One could imagine the immense shock that witnessing this scene brought to Huang Yun, who felt almost on the verge of madness.
How could this be?!
How is this possible?!
Huang Yun wanted to scream, but he found that at this moment, he was so surprised that he was rendered speechless.
His heart pounding violently, even as a pinnacle martial artist of the Celestial Realm, he felt waves of dizziness, which truly was unbelievable.
It was very hard for him to imagine what sort of colossal achievements Gu Chen would have if he went to the upper realm, which surely would be hard for even those top-tier figures to match.
But fortunately, with the Severance of Heaven and Earth, Gu Chen could not ascend to the upper realm, which was the only consolation for Huang Yun at the moment.
Suddenly, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred.
With a swish, Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, previously split in half and dead beyond doubt, miraculously came back to life, revived once again!
“Hm?!” Huang Yun was shocked, the events of the day repeatedly shattering his understanding—none of his lifelong experiences compared to what he had seen today.
At this moment, even Gu Chen frowned; how could Gu Yan possibly survive after the strike of Celestial Sword?
“No!”
But the next moment, Gu Chen’s expression changed as he realized why Gu Yan had not died.
“You have an evil demon inside you!” Gu Chen said coldly, his eyes sharp and pressing, staring at Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
At this moment, everything that had happened seemed like an illusion.
Gu Yan stood there unscathed, but his expression was extremely gloomy.
If not for the demon, he would have indeed died just now.
Or rather, he had died, but at the last moment, the demon power lurking in his vessel silently merged with him, allowing him to be resurrected.
Yes, just a portion of the demon’s power from his true self in the upper realm—fortunately, it had not merged prematurely; otherwise, with the force of Gu Chen’s strike just now, even the demon’s power inside him would have been completely obliterated.
“You actually possess divine art?!” The words of the ninth prince were icy, his face somewhat distorted, with sinister black qi emanating from his body.
Even his true self at the Celestial Realm couldn’t master divine art, yet Gu Chen could.
Didn’t that mean the latter was countless times better than him?
If they battled at the same realm, in front of divine art, his true self would also be crushed by Gu Chen, which he found unacceptable.
