Chapter 1237: Chapter 215: Fight a Bloody Path Out

In the dense forest, towering ancient trees blocked out the sun and the sky. Dressed in a black robe, Gu Chen stood here, with the ground beneath his feet littered with torn flesh and dismembered corpses.

The battle among the Ten Thousand Tribes had begun, and virtually everyone who entered here was an enemy. What’s more, the opponent had struck first, aiming to kill Gu Chen with a single blow. Naturally, he would show no mercy in return.

After all, in that kind of situation, anyone else would already be dead.

Here, there was no need for any mercy. What mattered was only one’s immense strength, which was sufficient.

Afterward, Gu Chen stepped away, leaving this place and heading towards the outskirts of the dense forest.

In the selection battles, there usually weren’t any special opportunities. The sole purpose was to become that one in ten thousand, to enter the true core realms of the Holy Land.

Thus, the only thing to do here was to fight!

"The spots for entry to the Holy Land’s core have been determined. What is needed is a token, meaning that soon, ten thousand tokens will appear, and then millions of young cultivators will vie for them." Gu Chen’s gaze flickered as he surveyed his surroundings.

Although his strength was formidable, he was not careless. With millions of cultivators present, who knew what sorts of characters were among them? Gu Chen did not wish to capsize in the gutter because of his own underestimation.

This kind of event was nonexistent to him, whether in the Nine Provinces or in the upper realms.

"This struggle is bound to be bloody," Gu Chen whispered.

The selection battle would undoubtedly lead to bloodshed and destruction, claiming countless lives, but it was unavoidable.

After all, the upper realms have always believed that the true geniuses can only grow after experiencing blood and fire.

Even the last great cycle was the same.

Millions vying for ten thousand tokens—the very thought of such a spectacle was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Boom!

Just as Gu Chen had said, the selection battle was destined to be extremely bloody. Not long after he left the forest, intense fluctuations of battle erupted ahead of him.

A dense mass of figures were in tumultuous battle there. At a glance, there were easily more than ten thousand.

After all, only ten thousand would ultimately prevail. Thus, the killing continued incessantly, the fewer the people, the greater one’s chances of getting through.

"Kill!"

The sounds of furious roars, clashes, screams, and spattering blood filled the air. It was an exceedingly gory tableau.

All these people, having been thoroughly selected, can be regarded as geniuses.

But now, they were dying one after another, fighting to the point of madness!

Here, the stench of blood was intense, and everyone had bloodshot eyes. It was a matter of life or death.

Gu Chen’s expression remained calm. He had witnessed countless bloody scenes like this and had even been the instigator several times, so naturally, he didn’t feel discomfort.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of his sister, Gu Qingyan. If nothing was amiss, she would certainly be participating in this battle among the Ten Thousand Tribes. Could she survive this bloody scene unscathed?

"With her experiences in Frost Soul Sect and Extreme Ice Island, Qinyan’s strength should have reached a certain level by now," Gu Chen thought.

After all, Gu Qingyan was no ordinary person. She was the famously known Xuan Yin body, highly compatible with Frost Soul Sect’s martial arts, making rapid progress in her cultivation.

Add to that the wholehearted training provided by the Frost Soul Sect, by now she should at least possess the cultivation of the Huanxu Realm. Self-preservation should still be within her capabilities.

If nothing else, she could also choose to leave this realm proactively. This was the only lifeline left for those participating in the selection battles.

"Kill!"

At that moment, a ferocious roar came, and about a dozen people charged toward Gu Chen.

Clearly, seeing Gu Chen alone, they intended to join forces to eliminate him.

Forming alliances was, of course, common. One’s individual power was inadequate, but people could unite to vie for the tokens.

Of course, these kinds of groups could not compare to those originating from the same sect. Most had hidden motives and had to be wary at all times.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly. He had no intention of getting involved, but these people, seeing red, wanted to take a hit at anyone they encountered.

In that case, why should he be polite?

Squish, squish, squish, squish!

Gu Chen stood still without moving an inch, but those who had initiated the attack on him exploded into pieces, miserably losing their lives on the spot.

However, before Gu Chen could leave, more and more people emerged, the battlefield condensed, and the number of combatants increased!

Survival of the fittest, survival of the suitable, the most brutal law of the jungle was being enacted here.

Although Gu Chen did not wish to participate in such chaotic battles, with the growing number of combatants, he still got dragged into it.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

"I’ll slash you!"

For a time, a cacophony of growls and roars filled the air, as the area turned into utter chaos, the dense blood mist seemingly shrouding the heavens.

Sss!

A sword light flashed, as someone wielding a post-natal spiritual treasure launched a sneak attack on Gu Chen from behind.

Unfazed, Gu Chen reached out with his palm and gently grasped, instantly crushing the post-natal spiritual treasure sword into dust.

However, he purposely left a fragment of the sword tip, threw it backhanded, and pierced the attacker’s forehead, killing them instantly.

Boom!

But an even more violent surge of power came, with several cultivators at the peak of the Huanxu Realm making their move!

Among the younger generation, reaching the peak of the Huanxu Realm meant none were simple characters; they were all renowned powerhouses from numerous realms of the upper world.
