The auction ended, and the maids delivered the auction items to Gu Chen and the others, which they each stowed away.

At this moment, many people in the crowd covertly cast malicious glances at them.

Especially Gu Chen. The Sacred Medicine and Thunder Fruit he held were particularly coveted, drawing the attention of several Great Powers.

However, Gu Chen paid them no heed as his gaze remained fixed on Jian Jiu.

When their eyes met, intense hostility and murderous intent surged through the void.

Even the dullest cultivator could sense something amiss at this moment.

"Gargantuan Summit City’s central arena, a battle to the death, do you dare?" Jian Jiu spoke coldly.

"You want to die, I shall grant your wish!" Gu Chen was equally resolute.

Gu Chen had contemplated killing Jian Jiu even before the central realm of the Holy Domain was opened.

But unfortunately, Jian Jiu had been overly cautious and chose to seclude himself after seeing Gu Chen kill Jin Xuan of the Golden Roc Clan.

Even when Gu Chen approached him under the guise of Lan Hua, Jian Jiu ignored him.

But now, their festering grudge could finally be settled today.

"A Unity Realm against a Heavenly Realm, it must be said, this young man has guts!" A local resident noticed the situation and felt it peculiar.

Recently, as the Holy Domain’s central realm opened, these locals gradually accepted the presence of the young cultivators from the upper realms.

With the Holy Domain on the brink of destruction, these locals were all looking for a way out.

Soon, a young cultivator vocalized Gu Chen’s accomplishments, causing a huge sensation nearby.

Those Heavenly Realms intent on the Thunder Fruit also took notice with a leap of their hearts.

"This lad is quite remarkable?" A middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace frowned.

"Never mind, I am confident I can kill him!" Jian Jiu said, his expression frosty.

Being one of the top ten clans of the previous era, known as the "Supreme Sword" of the heavens, and having significantly strengthened after advancing to the Heavenly Realm, Jian Jiu had immense confidence in his strength.

Not to mention, he had fully comprehended a fifth-grade divine Sword Technique, bolstering his confidence even further.

After all, despite Gu Chen’s talents, how could his progress in the Unity Realm compare to Jian Jiu’s rapid advancement?

Afterwards, when the news of their duel spread, it indeed stirred up quite a commotion in Gargantuan Summit City, drawing countless spectators.

At the very center of Gargantuan Summit City was an arena spanning tens of miles, bathed in dark red as though soaked in endless blood, which made one’s heart tremble upon seeing it.

"Come forth, to battle to the death and to slay you!" Jian Jiu declared, pointing at Gu Chen with his hand.

His arrogant demeanor immediately caused the expressions of Long Yi and Gu Qingyan to turn cold, finding him overly arrogant.

Gu Chen remained indifferent. Facing a man about to die, he had nothing to worry about and directly ascended the platform.

As Gu Chen stepped onto the platform, Jian Jiu spoke again coldly, "Back then, outside the Holy Domain, when the treasure realm opened, you blocked my path to enlightenment. Today, I shall repay that twofold!"

"Blocked your path to enlightenment?" Gu Chen scoffed coldly upon hearing this. "Ridiculous! Are you even worthy of using the term ’enlightenment’?"

Below the stage, Long Yi, Gu Qingyan, and the others frowned upon hearing this, thinking Jian Jiu shamelessly deceptive.

Gu Chen had, of course, discussed their feud with them, so they understood the situation clearly.

Initially, it was Jian Jiu who had attempted to take advantage of Gu Chen unexpectedly. Now, in his narrative, he had twisted the story, placing all the blame on Gu Chen.

Those in the know might not mind, but the uninformed might not think the same.

One could only say that although Jian Jiu appeared upright and honest, he was actually extremely shameless, a hypocrite and worse than Jin Xuan.

"Meet your end!"

Jian Jiu shouted and, without hesitation, drew a congenital spirit-grade long sword and slashed at Gu Chen.

Jin Xuan and the others had committed errors in the past that Jian Jiu would not repeat.

Besides, as a sword repairer, his strength principally rested in his sword.

Hiss!

The fierce sword light illuminated the heaven and earth, splitting the void. However, the arena was protected by an array, ensuring no bystanders were harmed.

"Good!"

Below the stage, a middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace smiled in satisfaction upon seeing this. Jian Jiu’s talent in the sword was genuinely remarkable, which pleased him greatly.

At least, within the current Sword Monarch Palace, aside from a recently awakened prodigy, no one among the younger generation could compare.

For a tradition that wished to endure through endless eras, having an exceptional successor was clearly essential.

However, the next moment, as Jian Jiu’s sword was unleashed, a shocking scene unfolded.

Bang!

Gu Chen stood motionless. Mana surged within his body, and with his eighth-grade physique, he didn’t even need to use his celestial gauntlets. With merely a slight finger flick, he cleaved Jian Jiu’s sword light into two halves.

"What?!"

"How is this possible!"

The crowd instantly fell silent, their expressions stiffening, and the pupils of the middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace constricted, a deep chill rising in his heart.

He knew that Jian Jiu was in danger!

"You?!" Even Jian Jiu himself was shocked by this scene.

Had he known that Gu Chen once fought against Mo Ye and five others, plus their five celestial demons alone, he surely wouldn’t have spoken so boldly.
