Chapter 1348: Chapter 276: Blood of the Immortal Spirit

"Roar!"

Just as Gu Chen and the others had finished distributing the Dragon Blood Grass and the True Dragon Fruit, a fierce roar suddenly came, shaking the surrounding atmosphere.

Immediately after, everyone saw a huge creature rushing from a distance. It was a hundred yards in size and resembled a dragon, yet not a dragon, a serpent but not a serpent, existing in a very bizarre state.

At the same time, red light flickered in its pupils, its appearance fierce, covered in spikes, and its entire body exuded a desire named bloodlust.

"Dragon Beast!"

Upon seeing this giant beast, Ren Fei from Qingyun Palace, a being with enormous power from the Heavenly realm, was visibly shocked and said in a deep voice.

"Is this the Dragon Beast?" Yun Zishu and the others exclaimed,

Having read through the materials from Qingyun Palace, they were, of course, extremely clear about what a Dragon Beast was.

They lacked intelligence, existing only for slaughter, becoming mutated due to the energy spilling out from the True Dragon’s nest in this area.

Of course, another theory suggested that Dragon Beasts were the most loyal servants of the Celestial True Dragons, responsible for guarding their safety.

Regardless, the Dragon Beast in front of them was coming straight for Gu Chen and his group. Its strength was not weak, reaching the level of the Heavenly realm, comparable to the Great Powers.

"Let me handle this," Gu Chen stopped Ren Fei, who was about to take action.

Gu Chen was also very curious about the Dragon Beast. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, it would be considered a walking point of merit for him.

Swish!

Gu Chen took a step forward, directly facing the Dragon Beast’s massive body without any fear.

"It’s indeed troubling Brother Gu," Ren Fei said, feeling slightly embarrassed in his heart.

After all, from entering the True Dragon’s nest until now, they had never taken action.

Originally, Ren Fei had wanted to help Gu Chen deal with the Dragon Beast to give him a rest, but he didn’t expect Gu Chen to be so proactive.

This scene, witnessed by the other six Great Powers of Qingyun Palace, greatly increased their favorable impression of Gu Chen.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Beast roared, its enormous body twisting and growing four sharp claws; now, it surged like a celestial dragon into the sky, one claw aiming directly at Gu Chen’s head to crush him.

Bang!

Gu Chen, fearless, directly extended a palm slap, and in an instant, the two collided, blood splattering everywhere, the screams of the Dragon Beast also resounding.

"The physical body is indeed strong, almost comparable to the seventh level," Gu Chen murmured.

This discovery was quite astonishing; a mere Dragon Beast was equivalent to the sixth limit of physical cultivation, nearing the seventh level.

That is to say, aside from those perverted beings who had stepped into the Heavenly realm and the native Heavenly Powers who often secluded themselves, no one could rival this Dragon Beast.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, another four roaring sounds erupted, and around them, four more Dragon Beasts, extremely swift, leaped out, targeting Gu Chen.

"Brother Gu, we will help you!" Ren Fei hurriedly shouted upon seeing this.

"There’s no need; I can handle it alone," Gu Chen said, quickly speaking to stop Ren Fei and the others again.

"This...," Ren Fei and the others heard this and were somewhat puzzled. Five Dragon Beasts—couldn’t they solve it together?

At that moment, Long Yi gave them a look and said, "The young master is used to handling things alone; upon encountering any situation, his first instinct is to deal with it himself and does not wish to rely on others."

"I see." Hearing Long Yi’s explanation, Ren Fei and the others suddenly understood, then said, "We just feel a bit guilty, seeing that it’s always Brother Gu exerting effort all along the way."

"No worries, just a small matter," Gu Chen had already dealt with the five Dragon Beasts in a mere moment and approached the group.

"That fast?" Ren Fei and the others were taken aback upon seeing this.

"Just a minor issue," Gu Chen said indifferently.

Ren Fei and the others secretly marveled, feeling that Gu Chen gave them an unfathomable sense.

Keep in mind, they were Great Powers of the Heavenly realm and had been immersed in this realm for a long time, yet Gu Chen, still in the Earth realm and a unified realm cultivator, could give them such a feeling, which was utterly unbelievable.

Fortunately, after spending more time with Gu Chen, they had grown accustomed to this young man’s extraordinaryness and soon calmed their minds.

As for Gu Chen, after slaying the five Dragon Beasts, his mood was also very good. One Dragon Beast was slightly inferior to Jin Xuan, but it provided him with four thousand points of merit.

Five Dragon Beasts naturally accounted for twenty thousand points.

"It’s just a pity that to elevate the Immortal Sacred Body and the Primordial Spirit Diagram, each level requires at least fifty thousand merit points, which is still quite far off," Gu Chen looked at his panel and murmured to himself.

However, the existence of the Dragon Beasts indeed helped Gu Chen out of a critical situation. He planned to hunt some more in this area during the Open period of the True Dragon’s nest to accumulate more merit points.

Then, under Gu Chen’s leadership, they continued to move forward. Although their Heavenly Eye was somewhat restricted in this area, it still proved to be of great help.

Thus, an hour passed, and they also gained quite a lot—everyone had at least two sacred medicines that were over thirty thousand years old.

It must be said, the sanctuary inside the celestial nest was indeed rich in resources.

"Ah?!"

However, half an hour after the group set off again, Gu Chen used his Heavenly Eye to look towards the distance, suddenly his body shook, and he paused in place.

"What’s wrong with the young master?" Long Yi noticed Gu Chen’s anomaly, fearing something had happened, and quickly spoke up.
