"So much time has passed without seeing you, yet your strength has hardly increased, but your breath has grown a lot!" Gu Yan sneered coldly.

At this moment, upon laying eyes on Gu Chen, his emotions did not get out of control, instead, he even felt a bit of joy deep inside.

All of this, naturally, was because of Gu Chen.

"Finding without seeking, it comes without effort. I haven’t even started searching for you far and wide, yet you brought yourself to my door. I don’t know whether to call you confident or stupid," Gu Yan said as he looked at Gu Chen, shaking his head.

However, regardless, at least Jiuding, in Gu Yan’s view, would be his for the taking.

After all, it was a Dao weapon, powerful enough to shock the upper realms, how could Gu Yan not be tempted?

"I can hardly blame myself when you’re the one who came knocking," a cold smile appeared on Gu Yan’s face.

In his view, although Gu Chen’s talent was extraordinary, what could it amount to? Inside him lurked an evil demon, ensuring that his rate of improvement could not possibly surpass Gu Yan’s!

"Nothing more than a stepping stone," this was Gu Yan’s most genuine opinion of Gu Chen deep down.

"Words are of no use, the truth will be told in battle," replied Gu Chen, equally calm.

The grudge between the two was exceedingly deep, but now, as enemies faced each other, instead of showing rage, they engaged in a remarkably tranquil conversation.

This was merely because both individuals were fully confident in themselves, especially Gu Yan, who believed he could easily defeat Gu Chen at his current state.

After all, he considered himself far superior to Gu Chen, whether in terms of cultivation level or other aspects.

Not to mention the help from the evil demon within him.

Although Gu Chen was also extraordinary and had made quite a name for himself in the upper realms, in Gu Yan’s eyes, he was still significantly lacking compared to Gu Yan’s current self.

"Netherworld Fire!"

With a fierce shout from Gu Yan, the calm atmosphere between the two was shattered, as dark and chilly flames engulfed the sky, sweeping towards Gu Chen.

"Solar True Fire."

Gu Chen’s expression was calm, neither sad nor joyful. In the face of the surging Netherworld Fire, he simply extended a finger and lightly tapped forward. In an instant, golden flames spread across the sky.

After deducing the Solar Scripture and reaching the fourth layer, Gu Chen’s Solar True Fire had undergone a transformation and its power had soared tremendously.

If the Solar Scripture were to reach the complete level, he might even have a slim chance to evolve his Solar True Fire to the level of Divine Fire.

By then, even facing the entire upper realms, he could stride across unchallenged.

Boom!

Solar True Fire versus Netherworld Fire, like needlepoint against wheat awn, the collision of two distinct types of energy caused a great uproar between heaven and earth.

The terrifying tidal waves of energy surged violently, causing the onlooking cultivators seeking to take advantage to go pale with horror, retreating backwards continuously.

Hisss!

As soon as the Solar True Fire came into contact with the Netherworld Fire, Gu Chen’s side gained an absolute advantage, a large amount of the Netherworld Fire was burnt to nothing, and plumes of white steam rose in the air.

"What? What is this?!" Seeing this, Gu Yan was also shocked and bewildered.

His Netherworld Fire, which even Chiyun Ming, the young master of the Chiyun Clan ranked within the top thirty in the upper realms, found somewhat difficult to resist, and only resolved it with all his might, had become so easily overcome by Gu Chen?

"Your cultivation?" Gu Yan frowned, and under Gu Chen’s uninhibited display, he too had noticed.

Early Unified Realm facing off against his late Unified Realm and still managing to overwhelm, this raised an ominous feeling in Gu Yan’s heart.

"Regardless, I can crush him. If worse comes to worst, I’ll directly use the power of the evil demon to kill all the onlookers!" Gu Yan thought coldly with his eyes.

And this was precisely his plan.

Having devoured Chiyun Ming and Gu Chen, as well as the hundreds of cultivators around, combined with the nine Saint Yuan Fruits, Gu Yan was confident that not only his corporeal body, but also his cultivation level would take a big leap forward, reaching the peak of the Unified Realm, standing shoulder to shoulder with the strongest geniuses amongst the holy rank!

"Gu Chen, you are nothing more than a stone blocking my path to the heavens, do you not realize that I’ve never really taken you seriously!" Gu Yan exclaimed fiercely as he pointed his finger, the power of Heaven Yin permeating the air, the very Heaven Yin Finger itself.

No matter what Gu Yan did, Gu Chen maintained an indifferent demeanor, exceptionally calm.

Facing the finger extended by Gu Yan, he too extended his own and pointed out, the tips of their fingers colliding.

Crack!

Instantly, the sound of breaking bones echoed between heaven and earth, followed by a shrill scream.

"Ahhh..."

Gu Yan roared, stumbling backwards continuously, covering his finger in disbelief.

Fortunately, the power of the evil demon spread silently, and his broken finger quickly reattached itself.

Seeing this tableau, Gu Chen looked at Gu Yan with a smirk. The traits of an evil demon seemed quite suitable for testing the strength of his fused selves.

In other words, Gu Chen was using Gu Yan as a practice opponent at the moment.

After all, with such deep animosity between them, even if Gu Yan wanted to end it all with death, Gu Chen would not let him die so easily.

On several occasions, if it were not for Gu Chen’s superior skills and numerous techniques, he might really have been in trouble.

At this moment, due to the strength displayed by Gu Chen, Gu Yan’s heart was greatly shaken; he did not understand how the other could have improved so quickly.

He had reached this step because there was an evil demon inside him, making cultivation without any bottleneck to speak of, but what about Gu Chen?
