Chapter 689: Chapter 425: The Body of a Half-step Heavenly Venerate (Part 2)

At this juncture.

Gu Qingfeng’s naked eye could already see the Heavenly Dao Chains, a vague Immortal Gate right before him. With just a mere thought, he could easily summon the Immortal Gate to descend.

It can be said.

Gu Qingfeng’s ascension now all depended on his own decision.

But Gu Qingfeng chose not to do so.

After all, ascending at this stage was not what he desired.

A hundred years in seclusion.

Up till now, Gu Qingfeng was only seven hundred years old.

Yet, the hundred years of accumulation allowed Gu Qingfeng’s Upgrade Points to increase significantly, from tens of thousands directly to two million.

"Two million eight hundred thousand Upgrade Points is still insufficient. To break through the Great Emperor’s shackles and directly attain the Heavenly Venerate Realm, at least ten billion Upgrade Points are needed!"

This is unavoidable.

The inheritance at the Heavenly Venerate level involves the Great Tao, unless future information panels can reward him with higher-level Great Tao, otherwise, Gu Qingfeng can only break through limitations gradually.

Moreover.

Gu Qingfeng discovered.

Ten billion Upgrade Points are merely the threshold to enter the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

To continue breaking through to higher levels, the required Upgrade Points would also increase accordingly.

For instance, if Gu Qingfeng wants to break through the Silent Extinction Path from the Second Layer to the Third Layer, it would require thirty billion Upgrade Points.

It is evident.

Each advancement of the Great Tao requires an addition of ten billion Upgrade Points.

In this way.

Two million Upgrade Points are far from sufficient.

"Normally, a Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerable is one who grasps the Second Layer Great Tao, which means that with my grasp of the Second Layer Silent Extinction Path, I actually qualify for advancing to Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.

As long as I induce Dao Power to gradually refine myself, breaking through to Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerable shouldn’t be an issue.

Yet, who knows what powers the Immortal Domain contains, merely being a Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerable might not be enough!"

"If there’s a chance, it would be best to gather enough points to break through to Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable or even reach Immortal Heavenly Venerate level upon summoning the Immortal Gate.

That way, regardless of any issues in the Upper Realm, I’d have ample strength to tackle them!"

Gu Qingfeng had long pondered this; despite knowing how challenging this step is, he must attempt it as much as possible, no matter the difficulty.

Next.

Gu Qingfeng gazed outside the Enlightenment Hall, where the Qi Fortune of the Divine Dynasty surged immensely, transforming from the former Eighteenth Grade Green Lotus to Twenty-First Grade Green Lotus.

The distance to the limit of the Divine Dynasty, Twenty-Third Grade Green Lotus, wouldn’t take much longer.

"Twenty-First Grade Green Lotus, such Qi Fortune is enough to suppress multiple Great Emperors. A century ago, the Foreign Realm was pacified, and the Qi Fortune of the Divine Dynasty is still rising. In three to five hundred years, it will transform into Twenty-Third Grade Green Lotus.

By then, it will be the true pinnacle of Divine Martial!"

Gu Qingfeng was aware in his heart.

Twenty-Third Grade Green Lotus is the upper limit the Lower Realm can accommodate, just like how it can only hold Great Emperors.

To break this limit, only by breaking the shackles and stepping into the Immortal Domain can he achieve this.

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng expanded his Divine Thought, covering the entire Gu Family and Ancestor State within his perception.

Through his bloodline’s origin, Gu Qingfeng could even sense the status of all descendants of the Gu Family.

"Not bad!"

"Within such a short time, the Gu Family’s bloodline quantity has broken a thousand, and there are thirteen Saint Realm cultivators, along with six who have broken through to the Great Saint Realm. These descendants have not been idle!"

Gu Qingfeng’s lips curled into a slight smile; the improvement of his descendants’ strength was naturally something he desired.

It was precisely due to the increase in bloodline quantity and the breakthroughs in cultivation among his descendants over the years that Gu Qingfeng could gather over two million Upgrade Points within a century.

At this rate, in ten thousand years, the Gu Family’s bloodline quantity could reach an astonishing level.

In such a scenario.

The Upgrade Points Gu Qingfeng collects, even if not enough to directly break through the Immortal Heavenly Venerate level, can at least progress a few steps upwards.

Suddenly.

Gu Qingfeng’s expression changed, and with a flick of his finger, a streak of light flashed by.

...

Elsewhere.

In Chaos.

A youth wielding a long blade shattered the void, engaged in a bloody battle with a demon on par with Great Saint level.

Under the attacks of such a Great Demon, the latter retreated continuously, with its injuries worsening. Around it lay the broken corpses of many Divine Martial cultivators.

"Hehehe, why struggle? Why not simply surrender and get a quick end; I might let you die swiftly!"

The Blood Demon Great Saint spoke, his crimson eyes staring at the youth before him, undisguised by greed.

"I’ve never tasted the flesh of a Great Emperor descendant before; not sure if the blood and flesh of a Great Emperor descendant are more delicious than others from the Human Clan—"

"Kill!"

Gu Fengyuan remained silent, his expression resolute. The terrifying and fierce Blade Intent shattered the universe, unleashing countless Blade Qi, vowing to slay the Great Demon standing before him.

However.

Despite his all-out efforts, he found it difficult to harm the Blood Demon Great Saint in the slightest.

There was no choice.

The difference in cultivation between them was evident.

Gu Fengyuan was merely at the Eight-Layer Heavens of Saint Realm, not even breaking through to the peak of Saint Realm. His ability to fight on this scale was entirely due to his sufficiently thick Great Emperor bloodline.

Otherwise, he’d already have been defeated.

Currently, the fierce battle left Gu Fengyuan’s vitality gradually exhausted, marking his inevitable defeat and downfall.

Faced with this.

Gu Fengyuan did harbor resentment but felt no fear.

"The Gu Family will not tolerate insults from you demons; today, even if I die, I’ll make you pay the price!!"

Gu Fengyuan yelled, his originally dispirited aura suddenly surging, elevating the power of his Blade Qi a level, causing the Blood Demon Great Saint’s expression to drastically change.

"Burning Essence Blood... boy, do you really think this makes you my opponent!?"

Initially caught off guard, the Blood Demon Great Saint ended up with a blade wound, enraging this demon of the Demon Clan greatly, as he transformed his demon form, unleashing a violent and fearful aura that reverberated across thousands of miles of heavens.

In the Blood Demon Great Saint’s full-force attack, Gu Fengyuan was no match at all, even with burning his Essence Blood, within mere breaths he spat blood and retreated, numerous wounds appearing on him with blood streaming down his body.

"Die by my hand!"

The Blood Demon Great Saint sneered cruelly, reaching out his fingers towards Gu Fengyuan’s head. If this strike succeeded, it would shatter the latter’s skull.

Faced with this.

Gu Fengyuan showed a look of unwillingness.

He wanted to resist but was too late.

However.

Just when Gu Fengyuan thought he was destined to perish, a sudden horrifying aura emerged from Chaos, followed by a world-ending divine light tearing through the starry sky, a force like heavenly might, causing the Blood Demon Great Saint’s crimson eyes to widen, terror unmistakably surfacing on his face.

"No—"

The Blood Demon Great Saint uttered only one sound before his body was obliterated, leaving him completely perished in the void.

The abrupt change made Gu Fengyuan’s face freeze, unable to react for a moment.

But just then.

An unexpected gentle divine light fell upon him, and the countless wounds on his body began to heal visibly.

In just a few breaths, all his injuries vanished.

Gu Fengyuan felt his strength instantly recover to its peak, as though the fierce battle earlier was merely an illusion.

Yet the brutal situation in the void made Gu Fengyuan realize that what had unfolded was not an illusion.

Next.

Gu Fengyuan took a deep breath and bowed towards the direction of the Ancient Desolate World.

"Many thanks to the ancestor for intervening, your grandson is most grateful!"

In this moment.

The unease from his bloodline made Gu Fengyuan understand what had transpired.

Only his family’s ancestor from the Ancient Desolate World could possess such extraordinary powers, crossing Chaos to slay the Great Demon, saving him from peril.
