Chapter 1274: Chapter 235: Suppressing the Strongest Monster in the Upper Realm_2

Humming a resonant sound, the sky was filled with a bright starlight forming a great bow before Qi Ling, which he grasped tightly in his hand.

"Die!"

Qi Ling drew the bow, and the brilliant starlight, as if descending from beyond his realm, transformed into an exceedingly dazzling arrow aimed directly at Gu Chen.

"Sixth-grade Divine Skill, not bad," Gu Chen nodded slightly, impressed that at the consummation of the Unity Realm, one could reach such a level with Divine Skill; it truly was astonishing.

Unfortunately, not everyone could master the Fifth-grade Divine Skill—it was beyond even the most preeminent of the upper realm’s monstrous geniuses!

The Sixth-grade Divine Skill, combined with Qi Ling’s robust cultivation at the consummation of the Unity Realm, was indeed exceptionally powerful. As the arrow was released, the heaven and earth shattered, space broke apart, and a luminescent "star path" tore toward Gu Chen.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Movement!"

At this moment, Gu Chen employed a powerful Divine Skill he had long not used, which he had obtained from the Icy Cold Island.

Mastered to perfection, this Divine Skill could even summon heavenly thunder to execute divine punishment, making it incredibly formidable.

After all, Gu Chen had profound experiences with the power of heavenly thunder, one of the few that had pushed him to his limits.

Crack!

As Gu Chen finished speaking, a radiant thunderbolt streaked across the sky. The force of the stars met the power of divine punishment, and naturally, the latter prevailed!

Indeed, if the thunderbolt reached a certain degree, it could directly shatter ancient stars beyond the realm, turning them into cosmic dust!

Not to mention, the Nine Heavens Thunder Movement was a Fifth-grade Divine Skill, superior in all aspects to Qi Ling’s Meteor Bow.

Thunder light flashed, and the arrow aimed at Gu Chen was directly shattered, then, with momentum unabated, swept toward Qi Ling, the chief of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

The second failure darkened Qi Ling’s expression somewhat, and as for the direct disciples of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, each and every one was completely dumbfounded.

Boom!

The sky exploded; this thunderbolt left Qi Ling somewhat flustered, his purple robe charred, yet he ultimately blocked it.

"Senior brother!" a disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace cried out, his confidence waning, replaced by immense worry.

Hearing this, Qi Ling turned and gave the man a cold glare, silencing him into utter stillness with no more words spoken.

"Third move, Seven Star Chain!" Qi Ling shouted coldly, using all his strength as he drew the bow and notched the arrow once again.

However, this time was different from just before—the starlight throughout the sky transformed into shining stars above, their dazzling light enhanced by the abundant starlight cascading down. Seven stars turned into seven arrows, all shot simultaneously towards Gu Chen.

Seven Star Chain, an advancement of the Meteor Bow, was mastered only by Qi Ling among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace!

The seven stars, absorbing the power of the celestial stars, transformed into seven arrows with a horrifyingly potent force!

The heaven and earth exploded, the void was torn apart, and only those dazzling seven arrows shone between heaven and earth, everything else nearly obliterated!

This could be said to be Qi Ling’s kill shot; he had to take down Gu Chen, for it was a promise he had made himself.

However, confronting Qi Ling’s determined move, Gu Chen remained calm, his demeanor serene as if the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

At the consummation of the Unity Realm, even the most extraordinary prodigies from the upper realms struggled to compete with him.

"Break!"

As Gu Chen spoke, he executed the Moving Mountain Seal, with an ancient, vast mountain rising from the ground above his palm, shouldering the blue sky and positioned before him to block the seven arrows.

Or rather, the seven arrows struck the ancient mountain and shattered automatically, dissolving into specks of starlight.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen slightly lowered his palm, and the Moving Mountain Seal instantly vanished. He had complete control over all the Divine Skills he possessed.

Witnessing this scene, while others might not understand, Qi Ling couldn’t help but slightly contract his pupils.

"Three moves have passed," Gu Chen spoke, evidently not showing any trace of nervousness.

It seemed as though he wasn’t facing a formidable foe from the upper realms, but rather, he was casually sparring with a commoner; such ease and leisure were apparent on Gu Chen’s face, which bore no trace of stress.

"You!" Qi Ling roared, his eyes sinking fiercely.

Below, the monks spectating were already shocked and in awe, observing how easily Gu Chen had countered Qi Ling’s three moves.

"Do you have any other techniques? Use them if you do," Gu Chen declared.

He certainly wasn’t careless; he merely wanted to see what was so extraordinary about the vaunted immortal-grade techniques and divine abilities.

"I admit, I underestimated you!" At this moment, Qi Ling did not rage, but instead took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

This was indeed notable, suppressing his own temper was somewhat admirable, and even Gu Chen nodded in approval.

As Qi Ling’s eyes opened and closed, a brilliant glimmer of stars flickered within, and he said gravely, "As you wish!"

Immediately, the aura around him transformed, becoming intensely strong and tumultuous like the vast ocean’s waves, surging towards the heavens.

"Purple Imperial Star!" Qi Ling said gravely, his energy cracking the heavens and earth, each word heavy.

The next instant, as his words fell, the entire world before everyone’s eyes dimmed.

"What’s happening, why has it gotten dark?" Panic ensued as countless people looked up towards the sky in confusion.

At the same time, a tremendous pressure emerged over every monk present, causing even Gu Chen’s expression to turn solemn.

Suddenly, a radiant light erupted, as if a river of stars from the Nine Heavens had descended, its brilliance dazzling, seeming as if a real galaxy was drawn from beyond, accompanied by a sky full of stars reflecting overhead.

Boundless purple auras gathered, uniting with the celestial stars into an imperial star, emanating endless majesty!

The Purple Imperial Star, the foremost among ten thousand, was incredibly noble and radiant!

This was an extremely powerful divine ability from within the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, something even the Great Powers might not be able to execute.

It had to be said, Qi Ling was indeed exceptional; the lord of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace had personally instructed him not long before, and though he couldn’t fully utilize it, he could mimic a semblance of it.

The moment this divine ability was displayed, even Gu Chen’s expression grew much graver, and as for the others, their bodies trembled, unable to resist kneeling.

This was the power of the Purple Imperial Star!

"It’s almost reaching the limit of a Sixth-grade," Gu Chen also sighed.

If Qi Ling could break through to the heavenly realm, it wouldn’t be surprising if he could actually give Gu Chen a good battle.

But as it stands, it was not to be.

"Go!"

At that moment, Qi Ling shouted furiously, his complexion visibly paling, indicating the huge toll this move had taken on him.

"Seeing as it is so, then I shall reveal my hand as well."

Gu Chen muttered to himself, watching the Purple Imperial Star fall from the sky as if it intended to destroy the heavens and the earth, and softly declared, "Earth-breaking Seal!"

Boom!

As the Earth-breaking Seal was deployed, heaven and earth shook, the void collapsed, and as Gu Chen formed the seal and struck, various energies in the void were extracted and fused together, forming an infinite force that surged forward.

In the face of this power, everything obstructing it would be shattered!

Even the legendary Purple Imperial Star was no exception!

"Pu!"

Qi Ling was struck as if by lightning, and at that moment, he could no longer maintain his initial detachment. He spat out blood, and his body was flung sideways.

The outcome of the fight was decided!
