Lu Yu roared in fury, looking up at the sky and shouting, his chest heaving with rushing blood qi, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
Watching helplessly as the top-grade miracle, the Nine Mystical Immortal Lights, was snatched away by Gu Chen, Lu Yu could be said to be in extreme agony.
Moreover, he had previously looked down upon Gu Chen, but in their encounter, he was completely overwhelmed by the opponent, nearly having his head exploded, and that too in the full view of everyone.
All this combined left Lu Yu on the verge of exploding with rage, as Gu Chen’s strength had far exceeded his expectations, leaving him feeling like a clown.
The two half-step supreme experts, who had been hiding in the crowd, also had very unsightly expressions on their faces. They thought that by keeping a low profile, they could catch others off guard and kill them, but in the end, they still failed.
The so-called top-grade miracle was, after all, poached by a young junior they had looked down upon, and it was impossible to say they weren’t angry.
"This..." Apart from the trio of Lu Yu, even the Ascension Realm magnates were dumbfounded, some of them even stuttering.
The strength that Gu Chen had just demonstrated truly gave them a big shock, or rather a chilling fright!
When Gu Chen nearly slew Lu Yu, even flattening his head into his chest, the eyes of these people almost bulged out.
"How has this young man cultivated, to reach such a stage?"
"How long has he been in the Ascension Realm, a year or so? Why can he contend with half-step supremes, and even nearly overpower them!"
In a moment, their previous contempt for Gu Chen disappeared without a trace, and even a surge of fear rose in their hearts.
"How fortunate, had those earlier words been spoken openly, it would have been dangerous." They felt a post-fright, because with the strength that Gu Chen had shown, he could nearly overpower even the half-step supremes, and they would have no surprise encounters, only one outcome: being crushed.
At the same time, the astonishing display of Gu Chen’s prowess had also caused a stir among those present, but they dared not speak, given the extremely unpleasant look on the faces of Lu Yu’s trio.
...
On the other side, after obtaining the Nine Mystical Immortal Lights, Gu Chen decisively retreated, as there was no need to linger.
With the artifact in hand, his next step was to make a breakthrough and reach the late stage of Ascension Realm.
"Have I advanced too swiftly, might this cause hidden problems in the future?" At this moment, Gu Chen furrowed his brows, this thought emerging in his mind and weighing on him.
After all, the time from entering the Ascension Realm to reaching his current height was indeed very short, even terrifyingly so.
Such a speed of cultivation is unprecedented in history.
Hence, Gu Chen worried that advancing too quickly might lead to an unstable foundation and hidden problems later on.
"No, my rapid advancement is inseparable from my personal accumulation." But soon, Gu Chen’s thoughts stirred again.
One could say that up to now, Gu Chen had cultivated to the limit in every realm, and even shattered its boundaries.
Furthermore, his breakthrough in the Saint Realm and his experience there were extremely rare, plus his foundational depth and external opportunities had a significant impact on his future.
The ultimate sublimation of his breakthrough back then had solidly established Gu Chen’s foundation and laid out a path to the heavens for him.
That’s why it’s said that the transformation from Earth realm to Ascension Realm is extremely important and will affect a cultivator’s entire life.
Without that experience, Gu Chen would not have been able to achieve such a breakthrough speed.
Moreover, compared to others at the same level, the conditions for his breakthroughs are countless times more challenging.
"Nowadays, with the epochal catastrophe approaching, no one knows when it might suddenly strike, and I must quickly enhance myself." With this in mind, he felt an even greater sense of crisis.
Subsequently, Gu Chen sped up and arrived at a small world he had chosen earlier.
Here, the laws were as tangible as substance, floating in the air like colorful clouds, expounding the profound and mysterious principles of the world, captivating any Ascension Realm cultivator.
This place was very secluded, discovered only after Gu Chen had used his Fourth Grade Divine Ability, the Eye of Heaven, to carefully search for a long time. It was also very safe, with little worry of being found.
Gu Chen seated himself in meditation and took out the divine fruit he had not fully comprehended before, and the Nine Mystical Immortal Lights, flickering with nine unpredictable glows, also appeared before him.
At this moment, in the sea of his consciousness, Gu Chen’s soul’s dharma image was dignified, radiating brilliance, while he also held a piece of ancient jade that was missing a corner, resonating with it and invigorating his thought process many times over, as if ready to dive back into comprehending the Dao.
With Gu Chen’s current understanding of heaven and earth, and his mastery over four Fourth Grade Great Powers, far exceeding half-step supremes, he naturally could break through the realm.
However, he wanted to use the divine medicine and the Nine Mystical Immortal Lights to further refine his body’s laws, strengthen his physique, and strive to advance his Great Power to the Fourth Grade level.
Breaking through the realm was not the primary goal.
And so, Gu Chen became silent, his whereabouts completely elusive despite Lu Yu’s intense search effort, carried out to the point of madness without giving up, nearly obsessive, wishing to find Gu Chen and settle the score.
