In the distance ahead, amidst the dim interplay of light and shadow, a young man appeared, standing there, sizing up Gu Chen.

His skin was pale, devoid of any color, and the aura around him was chillingly cold. His pupils showed no hint of emotion, epitomizing utter indifference.

He stood there like a corpse devoid of any soul or emotion, his hard gaze sweeping continuously over Gu Chen.

Clearly, this heir of Netherworld Heaven had recognized the extraordinariness of Gu Chen right away.

As for the others, they were all completely ignored.

"Lord!"

Five men from the Ghost Feather Clan, clad in black, knelt on one knee, looking fervently and reverently at the pale young man in the distance, bowing to him respectfully.

The pale young man did not respond; his gaze remained fixed on Gu Chen.

And he, remaining silent, left the five black-clad men from the Ghost Feather Clan kneeling there, their expressions unchanging and without a hint of complaint.

"The heir of Netherworld Heaven!" Long Yi’s expression became extremely solemn, recognizing the identity of the newcomer at once, one of the eight heirs of the Nine Heavens.

Princess Xidie, Gu Qingyan, Yun Zishu, and Zhen Yuan were all similarly shocked as they looked at the pale young man.

In their perception, a casual strike from him could completely annihilate them; the gap was just too immense.

"Are you Gu Chen?" At this moment, the heir of Netherworld Heaven, the pale young man, finally spoke. His voice was deep and hoarse, truly giving off the vibe of an ancient corpse speaking.

"Are you the heir of Netherworld Heaven?" Gu Chen counterasked.

The pale-faced young man did not answer but instead said coldly, "This place is now under my control. While I’m still in a relatively good mood, I’ll give you three breaths’ time to hand over everything you have on you and leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, Long Yi’s heart suddenly relaxed, his first instinct being to leave quickly, not wanting to face the heir of Netherworld Heaven for a moment longer.

After all, he was well aware of his ruthless nature; this master when provoked recognized no one, and no one was effective against him—he required bloodshed!

However, when he saw that Gu Chen hadn’t moved at all, he immediately thought it was bad news.

"Why haven’t you left yet? Didn’t you hear what my lord said? You’re seeking death!" the five black-clad men from the Ghost Feather Clan scolded upon seeing that Gu Chen hadn’t retreated a step.

It must be said, they played their role of servile followers perfectly, causing even Gu Chen to give them an extra glance.

"Interesting," the heir of Netherworld Heaven, the young man pale as death, remarked without anger but with a slight amusement.

"Lord, let us take action and cut them down!" the five black-clad men said, making an appeal to the heir of Netherworld Heaven, wishing to ease his troubles and take action against Gu Chen and his group.

This also showed their deep reverence for the heir of Netherworld Heaven. Being supreme formidable beings themselves, they dared not act without his approval.

"You are not his match; you would be easily slain," the heir of Netherworld Heaven said.

"What?!"

The five black-clad men from the Ghost Feather Clan were taken aback, not expecting their lord to hold Gu Chen in such high regard.

"Does the lord wish to take action personally?" they asked, their voices trembling.

The heirs of the Nine Heavens, transcendent above the mundane world, were extraordinary without compare. Even in the previous era, they stood out to an extreme extent, honed by the long span of years. Although their realms had not changed much, remaining at the peak of the Unity Realm, they were powerful enough to look down upon all the prodigies and monsters of the world, transcending above all!

Such was the strength of the heirs of the Nine Heavens. After all, they were the disciples personally taught by the nine supreme celestial lords of the Heavens—the most elite lineage among all the worlds combined with their own supreme talents. Except for the other seven heirs of the Nine Heavens, who could possibly rival them?!

Even the disciples taught by other supreme celestial beings were a notch weaker than the heirs of the Nine Heavens, as had been proven in the previous era.

Being able to claim the title of the Nine Heavens evidenced the extraordinariness of those nine celestial lords. Even among the supreme celestial beings, they stood at the very pinnacle. They carefully instructed and specially imparted their unique true teachings to this generation; naturally, they would be the strongest!

"Could it be that this isn’t your true body here?" At this time, a mysterious light flashed across Gu Chen’s eyes momentarily, as he perceived the subtlety.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the pale-faced young man from Netherworld Heaven momentarily showed a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

The five black-clad men of the Ghost Feather Clan were all startled, not expecting Gu Chen to have noticed this detail.

"So, it isn’t his true body?" Long Yi was also surprised by this revelation.

At this moment, Gu Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. He had thought that encountering one of the heirs of the Nine Heavens would allow him to fully demonstrate his current strength, but unexpectedly, the other party wasn’t even physically present.

"Quite perceptive," the heir of Netherworld Heaven murmured, nodding slightly, confirming this fact.

He had come to the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints using a body created through a secret method while his real body was still in seclusion, preparing for the treasure site set to open in half a month.

At that time, he aimed to break through, shattering the confines of the Earth realm and achieving the position of a Great Power in the Heaven realm!
