Chapter 1304 - 251: 3,600 Realms, The Boundless Starry Sky Path

Chapter 1304: Chapter 251: 3,600 Realms, The Boundless Starry Sky Path

The White Tiger Clan, the Kirin Clan, the Great Red Sky Palace, and the Spirit Tomb Ancient Cave—the strongest prodigies from these four major powers were all now staring intently at Gu Chen.

Clearly, several months ago, his successive killings of Qi Ling and then Bu Feng had been astounding achievements. When the news had spread, it had caused a sensation among the sacred realms.

Being inheritors of the undying Dao lineages and among the top ten races of the higher worlds, the four of them faced Gu Chen with solemn expressions and awe in their hearts.

Even though they had cultivated for some time and were stronger than Qi Ling and Bu Feng had been, in reality, their strength was still somewhat limited.

"What incredible prestige, immediately subduing the four most exceptional monsters!" someone exclaimed in admiration.

"If you could also slay the chiefs of two undying Dao lineages in succession, you would be treated the same," another cultivator remarked, clearly the companion of the previous speaker.

"I couldn’t do such a thing," said the first speaker, shaking his head. Every time they recalled Gu Chen’s remarkable combat achievements, they couldn’t help but marvel.

"Do you think, today, a third top monster will fall?" someone murmured through a transmitted message.

No one answered this question. All eyes were focused on Gu Chen, waiting to see what he would do.

At this moment, Gu Chen appeared calm and composed, stepping forward. He ignored the ultimate monsters from the White Tiger Clan, the Kirin Clan, and the other two major powers, and began to observe the eight light gates.

"He’s not taking action," many onlookers said, slightly disappointed. After hearing of Gu Chen’s feats in battle, they all wanted to witness his prowess for themselves.

However, this was actually quite normal. Gu Chen’s identity and status were no longer the same as before. His behavior was not seen as arrogant but was considered entirely appropriate.

Such is the change brought about by power.

"The Three Thousand Six Hundred Realms, the Infinite Starry Sky Ancient Road." These two treasure realms, or rather, minor worlds, were the targets of Gu Chen’s current mission.

At this moment, his eyes were twinkling as he secretly utilized his fourth-grade Heavenly Eye, immediately seeing through everything.

The fourth-grade divine ability, something even the Great Powers of the Earth realm could scarcely achieve, was indeed extremely formidable.

The three thousand six hundred realms corresponded to the three thousand six hundred domains of the higher world, each permeated with its own Dao rhythm, containing the secrets of all heavens.

The Infinite Starry Sky Ancient Road was a minor world filled with space, dazzling with starlight and vast galaxies, as if a true stellar domain had descended upon this place.

Both these treasure realms were very suitable for Gu Chen to cultivate, aiding in advancing his cultivation, tempering his body, and strengthening his spirit.

As for the other six worlds, naturally, they also contained their own mysteries, corresponding to different Dao rhythms.

However, in Gu Chen’s perception, and under the scrutiny of the Heavenly Eye, the first two still seemed more suited to him than the others.

"The Three Thousand Six Hundred Realms or the Infinite Starry Sky Ancient Road, which should I choose?" Gu Chen frowned, pondering internally.

For a time, Gu Chen felt troubled, finding both places well-suited. It was difficult for him to make a choice in a short period of time.

Then, with a bang, an anomaly occurred. A few loud noises came from not far away, and eight figures appeared together.

"This treasure land, we claim it. All those unrelated and extraneous people, disperse quickly!" A powerful atmosphere vibrated the heavens and the earth, those eight figures were top experts of the Earth realm, all at the peak of Unity Great Perfection!

"They come from... hidden sects of the previous great era?!" Upon seeing these eight individuals, many cultivators here let out a cry of surprise, their eyes filled with shock.

The eight experts, each formidable in their strength, not at all inferior to Qi Ling and Bu Feng before them, their combined appearance made even the strongest descendants of the White Tiger Clan, the Kirin Clan, the Great Red Sky Palace, and the Spirit Tomb Ancient Cave furrow their brows.

One on one, they feared no one, but faced with a one against eight situation, that seemed much less certain, or rather, very challenging!

"The White Tiger Clan and the Kirin Clan, along with the Great Red Sky Palace and the Spirit Tomb Ancient Cave?" A genius from the hidden sect of this great era looked at the four major powers with a smile, a slight pride in his eyes.

Knowing that eight treasure lands had emerged here, they had come together, intending to monopolize the site.

Fortunately, this was indeed a very important decision; otherwise, alone or in groups of three or four, or even five, would never be able to claim such a feat.

"Eh?"

At this moment, a man with black bull horns turned his gaze, looking toward Gu Chen at the very front of the crowd, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"Are you the Gu Chen who made such a fuss not too long ago?" asked the man with black bull horns.

"The one who killed Qi Ling and Bu Feng?" Hearing this, the other seven also looked over, their expressions turning stern.

No matter where, such battle achievements were enough to shake the heart.

But then, a man from the hidden sect of Lan Yue Lake clad in blue robes gave a faint smile and said, "That’s only for now. Once we use the treasure land here to break through to the Sky realm, no matter how exceptional he is, what can he do?"

Such blatant words, unhidden, were said right in front of Gu Chen and everyone present.

If it were any other time, the inheritor from Lan Yue Lake certainly wouldn’t dare, but now was different.

With the eight of them working together, apart from the inheritors of the Nine Heavens, they feared no one in the sacred realms.

What’s more, before long, they would even break through to the Sky realm with the help of this place. By then, no matter how strong Gu Chen was, he was still only in the Unity realm, what could he possibly do?

"Aren’t you afraid that I might also break through to the Sky realm?" At this moment, Gu Chen spoke with a faint smile, looking at the eight individuals, including the man from Lan Yue Lake.

"He’s breaking through to the Sky realm?!" As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was taken aback.

Being extraordinary in the Earth realm, slaying two top monsters—should he break through to the Sky realm, he would surely be even stronger, and perhaps then no one could stand against him.

But soon, the man in blue from Lan Yue Lake changed his expression abruptly, saying coldly, "You’re bluffing! No one can progress that fast in the Unity realm!"

At that moment, a man with a black bull horn stepped forward. He came from the previous great era, and his race was even slightly stronger than the Gemini Clan, saying assertively, "No need to talk anymore; regardless, these eight treasure lands belong to us now. Find another place for yourselves!"

The White Tiger Clan, Kirin Clan, as well as the elites from Great Red Sky Palace and the Ancient Spirit Cave slightly furrowed their brows. It was clear that they, too, had deliberated for a long time before choosing this place, which was very compatible with the eight minor worlds.

However, it was obvious that the opposing eight members held some advantages, and at that moment, they were eying them hungrily.

"Brother, if we hesitate any further, the other places might all be taken. By then, we will be too slow at every turn," said the man in blue from Lan Yue Lake with a smile to the four from the White Tiger Clan.

Both being Grand Completion of the Union Realm, the White Tiger and Kirin clans’ four members, though strong, were only so strong—after all, the eight in blue were also extraordinary.

However, this gap might widen by many times after entering the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, the young lord of the White Tiger Clan had a fierce expression, and to the eight men in blue, he said, "Aren’t you afraid that after we break through to the Heavenly Realm, we’ll come seeking revenge?"

The man in blue smiled, showing no fear, and said, "If it were just me alone, of course, I would worry. But with the eight of us united, even if you break through to the Heavenly Realm, with everyone at the same level, do you think you can fight eight against one?"

Upon hearing this, the young lord of the White Tiger Clan furrowed his brow—a point he could not be sure of.

"And what if we joined forces?" said the Kirin Clan’s young lord, his body shimmering with a five-colored glow, looking extraordinary.

The man in blue frowned at this statement. On the other side, the man with black bull horns spoke coldly, "That’s a matter for later, and besides, I have no fear. If you disagree, we can go to war right now!"

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense and ready to snap, causing all the other cultivators to watch with intense nervousness.

But at this time, someone broke this tension—it was Gu Chen.

After much thought, Gu Chen finally made a decision!

The three thousand six hundred worlds were more suitable for him, for here he could experience the essence of the heavens!

Whilst the boundless starry skies ancient path offered the endless power of the stars to temper the physique and advance one’s cultivation, seemingly offering more immediate benefits than the three thousand six hundred worlds, someone of Gu Chen’s caliber prioritized the future, of course.

Experiencing the essence of the heavens was immensely helpful for his subsequent breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm and becoming a supreme being, even the highest across all heavens.

"How brazen!"

But at this moment, the man in blue and the man with black bull horns saw Gu Chen nonchalantly stepping towards a minor world and grew furious.

"You seem to disregard us far too much!" the man in blue said coldly.

Gu Chen was strong, but at the moment he was still just one person. Being on equal footing in the Union Realm, none could stand against them eight united!

The White Tiger Clan, Kirin Clan, players from the Great Red Sky Palace, and the Ancient Spirit Cave’s four elites also frowned, thinking Gu Chen a bit too arrogant.

After all, they were eight Grand Completions of the Union Realm, akin to the likes of Qi Ling and Bu Feng.

Even as strong as Gu Chen, could he fight against eight alone?

No one was optimistic, as it all seemed too unrealistic; after all, the four from the White Tiger Clan hadn’t made a move.

"Noise."

However, upon hearing the words of the man in blue, Gu Chen remained indifferent and uttered these two words.

"Arrogant!" Instantly, the eight mighty men, including the one with black bull horns, darkened in expression.

"It seems defeating Qi Ling and Bu Feng has led you to believe you are invincible within the Union Realm," said the man with the black bull horns coldly.

"Idle talk is useless, slay him to warn the others!" A man, strong as a lion, spoke then, filled with murderous intent.

"A battle is about to begin!" The onlooking cultivators felt a chill and hurriedly backpedaled a great distance.

Initially, including Gu Chen, only five top-notch elites had appeared. With eight precious lands remaining, they thought there could be a share to fight for.

Now it seemed the appearance of the eight men in blue dashed the hopes of the other cultivators.

The White Tiger Clan, Kirin Clan, Great Red Sky Palace, and the Ancient Spirit Cave’s elites fell silent. After a moment of contemplation, they chose not to take action.

Primarily because after Gu Chen killed Qi Ling and Bu Feng, they instinctively disliked him.

Or rather, it was a sense of sorrow when witnessing one’s kin fall, since they came from power on a similar level, but Qi Ling and Bu Feng were defeated by a nobody, naturally unsettling them.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a terrifying bellow like a sudden thunderclap rang out—from the man with black bull horns.

"Ah..."

Even the cultivators who had moved far back were affected, many crying out as blood spilled from their mouths and noses, bodies thrown backward.

The man with the black bull horns was indeed extraordinary. With just one bellowing roar, he commanded respect from both the White Tiger and Kirin clans’ elites.

Suffice it to say, with this one battle, he demonstrated his formidable cultivation.

"A contest of loudness?" Gu Chen lifted his eyes, glancing at the man with black bull horns.

Boom!

The next moment, he let out a long howl, its sound like thunder, shaking the heavens, powerful enough to shatter the void!

In an instant, the roar of the bellowing bull was drowned out, the heavens exploded, and the void shattered; everyone in that moment went deaf, with their brains spinning, feeling the world spin round!
