City of Light, grand and towering, with ancient architecture exuding an age-old charm—it was clear at a glance that the city had a very long history.

At this moment, on the streets, Gu Chen quickly returned and slapped to death that demon from the Moon Demon Clan, causing him to die an undeserved death.

All of this was self-inflicted; in order to obtain information, Gu Chen had been willing to give up a ten-thousand-year holy medicine, only for the other party to show no honor or integrity, deceiving him with falsified intelligence, and even attempting to rob him.

In that case, naturally, Gu Chen would not indulge him, and he directly slapped him to death.

Onlookers were stunned, thinking Gu Chen really was extremely brutal—one slap, and the person was gone?

But at this time, from a distance, upon sensing the fluctuations emanating from here, an angry shout suddenly came.

Six disciples from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace appeared, led by a young expert in the late stage of the Unity Realm, arriving at the scene.

"Fighting and killing are forbidden in the City of Light; no one is allowed to do so. Don’t you know that?" several cultivators from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace scolded coldly, their gazes fixed on Gu Chen.

"The people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace have arrived; this is going to be interesting!" The crowd in the City of Light became intrigued upon seeing this.

"Since when has there been such a rule that one is not permitted to fight in the city?" Gu Chen spoke up, his demeanor calm.

At this time, one of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace’s cultivators stepped forward and said coldly: "There wasn’t such a rule before, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist now. Ever since Ten Thousand Stars Palace stationed here, this rule came into effect!"

This sort of declaration was extremely overbearing; the cities in the outer regions of the Holy Realm had long been unowned, with no one in charge. Now that Ten Thousand Stars Palace had stationed itself here, they acted as if they were the lord of this place, even establishing such a rule.

At this time, another cultivator from Ten Thousand Stars Palace added, "The City of Light will henceforth be under the jurisdiction of Ten Thousand Stars Palace. All cultivators setting up stalls in the city will be under our protection. You, without a word, killed someone for no reason; do you even take Ten Thousand Stars Palace into consideration?!"

He was very aggressive, and with the cultivation of the late stage of Unity Realm, it was almost certain that he was a direct disciple of the immortally established Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately laughed, understanding the situation.

The Ten Thousand Stars Palace had a slightly more clever way of amassing resources than the Golden Raven Clan by taking over a city and then demanding "protection fees" from all cultivators wanting to conduct transactions there.

Of course, it wasn’t just that—there was also a transaction fee of ten percent that had to be paid to the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

One could say that, if it were not for the reputation and the formidable strength of an immortal-grade sect, the cultivators within the City of Light would have rebelled long ago.

However, during this period, an increasing number of cultivators had gathered in the City of Light, and with such rules, Ten Thousand Stars Palace indeed reaped considerable benefits.

With this in mind, Gu Chen couldn’t help but feel motivated, as he currently needed a vast amount of resources to break through his own realm.

"What are you laughing at!" a cultivator from Ten Thousand Stars Palace scolded coldly, their eyes glaring angrily at Gu Chen.

Being from an immortal-grade sect, Gu Chen was the first they had encountered who, upon hearing the name of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, did not show fear or beg for mercy.

"Killing someone without reason, you must be a brutal and merciless figure in the upper realms as well. Since that’s the case, killing you is only logical!"

Their tone was extremely casual, summarily deciding another person’s blame with a few words.

Gu Chen heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly, saying, "Do you not even need to ask for the reason?"

At this moment, the leading cultivator from Ten Thousand Stars Palace coldly replied, "Ten Thousand Stars Palace does not need to explain its actions to others—we only believe what our own eyes see!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately laughed, a hint of coldness emerged in his eyes, "What an overbearingly tyrannical Ten Thousand Stars Palace!"

Whether it was the Golden Raven Clan or Ten Thousand Stars Palace, their ways of doing things were not to Gu Chen’s liking.

But he also knew that this was normal in the upper realms. After all, the upper realms emphasized and encouraged strife; the laws of the jungle were enacted to the fullest here, where might made right.

Those who were strong could naturally set rules; this was accepted in the upper realms.

And, being within the top ten immortal-grade sects and clans, they were currently the strongest in the upper realm. The rules were set by them, which in their subconscious, was also normal.

And even the other cultivators in the City of Light didn’t find it problematic.

One could tell from the looks in people’s eyes that they didn’t know Gu Chen’s strength and thought he was overestimating himself, also failing to comprehend why he would want to conflict with the immortal-grade Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

"I, from Ten Thousand Stars Palace, stand high above, my word as heavy as nine cauldrons. If domineering implies strength, then so be it. If you’re weaker, you just have to put up with it!" The Unity Realm cultivator from Ten Thousand Stars Palace sneered.

"Being strong means you can do as you please?" Gu Chen asked, smiling.

"Indeed, if you’re strong, you can do as you please. No matter how much you resist, before Ten Thousand Stars Palace, you can only endure!" the strongest of the six cultivators from Ten Thousand Stars Palace at the late stage of the Unity Realm declared.

"If that’s the case, my strength is not bad either; it seems I can do as I please too," Gu Chen replied, nodding in agreement.

"Compare strength with Ten Thousand Stars Palace? Ridiculous!" the cultivators from Ten Thousand Stars Palace scoffed, and even the stallholders watching shook their heads, thinking that Gu Chen was overly presumptuous.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, in the 3,600 domains of the upper realm.

Some time had passed, and not long ago, yet another supremely powerful being had taken action to observe the progress of their younger generation.

Among them, several had already begun to prepare to break through to the Heavenly Realm!

This was also a signal indicating that the breakthrough of the top young talents of the younger generation would begin en masse, or rather, that everything was set, only the east wind was lacking!

This so-called east wind referred to an appropriate location for these extreme talents to break through their realm.

At this time, a supremely powerful individual from Ten Thousand Stars Palace extended a finger, sketching two words in the void—Bu Feng.

This person, being the strongest of the current generation in Ten Thousand Stars Palace, wrote down these two words, which turned into a streak of light and surged into the Dao Gold List above the vault of the sky.

Instantly, an image emerged—a man appeared, wandering outside a valley, scouting something.

The supremely powerful being from Ten Thousand Stars Palace frowned, wondering why Bu Feng was still not prepared to break through to the Heavenly Realm. The Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, Golden Raven Clan, and others were already undertaking final preparations, just waiting for those places to open up so they could break through in one fell swoop.

He did not want Bu Feng to fall behind. After all, one step behind was to lag at every step.

"Eh, what’s that... Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold?!" At this moment, another supremely powerful being’s eyes flashed with an exceptional aura, seeing through the prohibitions of the valley in the Holy Realm and glimpsing something.

"Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold?!"

The utterance sent shockwaves through the assembly of top cultivators, their gazes fixed on the scene displayed on the Dao Gold List.

"Indeed, it is Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold, and there’s also a soul-enhancing artifact; Bu Feng’s fortune is truly exceptional," acknowledged one top cultivator, his words brimming with praise.

A soul-enhancing artifact could assist monks in enhancing their souls, while even for top cultivators like themselves, the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold was tantalizing.

"This lad truly has good fortune," chuckled a powerful being from the heavenly temple, stroking his beard and giving an approving nod, even shooting a smug glance at the president of Qingyun Academy.

"So it’s actually Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold." The president’s expression was complex as his mind immediately went to the weapon of the Azure Cloud Sky Lord—the Vault Heaven Battle Armor.

"If Gu Chen can obtain this piece of Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold, it will surely bring the damaged Vault Heaven Battle Armor a great leap forward," mused the president of Qingyun Academy to himself.

Alas, this stroke of fortune seemed very likely to fall into Bu Feng’s hands now.

At this moment, the president of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, also grew curious to know more about Gu Chen’s situation and promptly traced out Gu Chen’s name with his finger in the void.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the scene on the Dao Gold List shifted, revealing a young figure clad in dark clothing.

However, when everyone clearly saw the scene before them, they were stunned into silence.

"Hmm?!" Especially the strong cultivator from the heavenly temple, his expression noticeably jolted.

Displayed on the screen was none other than Gu Chen confronting six cultivators from the temple within the City of Light.

Upon seeing this, Situ Yin, president of Qingyun Academy, couldn’t help but lightly smile and glanced at the powerful being from the heavenly temple.

Currently, the powerful cultivator was visibly pale, his fists clenched in frustration, wondering how his disciples had ended up in another confrontation with Gu Chen.

And to make matters worse, the strongest among them, merely at the late integration stage, had the audacity to be so arrogant against Gu Chen. Wasn’t that courting death?

Seeing this, the other top cultivators looked on with pity at the heavenly temple’s cultivator.

"Damnit!" The furious cultivator cursed inwardly, his previous arrogance washing away in an instant.

He even began to pray thankfully that Bu Feng was not present, for if those two were to clash, he had little confidence in Bu Feng’s chances.

Meanwhile, in the holy City of Light.

A cultivator from the heavenly temple didn’t hesitate any longer and made a move, aiming to suppress Gu Chen on the spot.

"Kneel before me!" His cultivation was at the mid-integration stage, and with a confident, cold shout, he lunged forward.

Pfft!

Just as his palm began to rise, his forehead unexpectedly exploded, a bloody hole appearing, and instantly his movements froze.

Then he dropped to the ground with a thud, eyes wide open, devoid of the breath of life—he had died an unnatural death.

"Hmm?!" Everyone at the scene jolted in shock at this sudden change.

"What’s going on?" They were dumbfounded, struggling to grasp what had transpired.

"Being powerful means you can do whatever you want, that’s what you taught me,"

said Gu Chen calmly. Then, with a single palm strike, perfectly controlled in force, creating no disturbance in the heavens and earth, the remaining five figures from the heavenly temple exploded on the spot, meeting the same fate as the first.

"Holy mother!" The stunned vendors witnessing the scene were speechless and agape.

These were six integrative cultivators from the heavenly temple being wiped out by a single slap from Gu Chen?!

"Am I dreaming?" someone murmured, completely taken aback.

"Now, I’m going to really do as I please," said Gu Chen with a smile. Then, his figure flashed and vanished.

When he reappeared, he was outside a massive estate—the temporary stronghold of the heavenly temple in the City of Light.

"They sure know how to pick a place," Gu Chen observed the architecture before him.

"Who’s there?!" Two disciples from the heavenly temple rushed out, their faces stern as they scolded Gu Chen.

Gu Chen remained undisturbed, without uttering a word. What was he going to do? Of course, he was going to raid the heavenly temple!

During this time, the heavenly temple had been collecting protection money all over the City of Light, amassing a significant wealth now stored within this grand estate.

Now that he was there, Gu Chen of course wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Pfft!

Without any visible action from him, the two heavenly temple disciples who attempted to attack Gu Chen exploded, turning into a shower of blood.

As for Gu Chen, he strolled leisurely, stepping lightly into the temporary stronghold of the heavenly temple in the City of Light.

At this moment, the top cultivators outside were also privy to Gu Chen’s intentions within the holy land, realizing he was seizing this chance to raid the heavenly temple.

"This kid," Situ Yin, president of Qingyun Academy, shook his head with an amused smile.

As for the other top cultivators, they again cast a sympathetic look toward the powerful being from the heavenly temple.

Watching the events unfold on the Dao Gold List, for the first time, this top cultivator from the heavenly temple felt such intense anger and powerlessness towards a junior.

Indeed, it was extremely rare for someone of the younger generation to infuriate a top cultivator to such an extent.

"You damn scoundrel, Gu Chen, you’ve really enraged me!" Beneath the sky, the powerful being from the heavenly temple was out of control, his expression twisted with rage, feeling absolutely miserable.
