Chapter 1354: Chapter 279: Showdown with Ghostly Son (Three updates totaling 10,000 words, please subscribe!)_2

The medicinal garden was about ten thousand li away from where Gu Chen and his group were located, which was practically nothing for those of the Heaven Realm Great Powers. They had arrived in a very short time.

"Be careful, the formations here are extremely powerful." Gu Chen focused and casually released an attack. In an instant, hundreds of dragon qi burst forth in the void, destroying everything.

That fluctuation immediately made Long Yi, Ren Fei, and the other eight Great Powers tremble with fear.

"With such power, it’s enough to easily annihilate Great Powers, even top-tier figures need to be cautious!" Long Yi spoke, his face extremely solemn.

"After all, it’s the dragon’s lair, no matter how dangerous, it’s not over the top," Gu Chen said.

If it hadn’t been for the passage of a long time and the dissolution of many prohibitions and formations, even with the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye, Gu Chen wouldn’t dare to take the risk.

Because the dragon’s lair was equivalent to a retreat for the most supreme beings, even those strongest beings from the upper realms could face a crisis of death upon arrival.

Not to mention them, who were much lesser beings.

Ever since he saw that drop of divine immortal blood, Gu Chen knew that their level was less than ants in front of the supreme beings of all heavens.

"Be careful!" Gu Chen’s expression also became very solemn.

The formations here were overly complex, and even with the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye, there were some areas he couldn’t completely see through.

He could only say that the numerous formations, without any medium, densely interwoven together in the void, looked like heavenly diagrams, which even made Gu Chen feel dizzy looking at them.

And those areas were absolutely red zones, where one must never touch, or death would be certain!

Gu Chen’s deep and dark pupils glimmered with divine light, the mysterious runes nearly solidified, flickering continuously.

He exerted his full strength, pushing the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye to its limit, and barely managed to decipher many areas, cautiously leading Ren Fei, Long Yi, and the other eight Great Powers into this medicinal garden.

"What a shocking fragrance!" Upon entering the garden, waves of fragrance wafted through the void. The medicinal fields were glittering, the flowing light between them looked strikingly gorgeous.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, next to them, just as Gu Chen had predicted, fierce dragon beasts charged out, attacking them.

"Why are there so many of these damned creatures!" Long Yi cursed, but he was ruthless in his actions, his figure split into two and began to fight fiercely against those dragon beasts.

"Let me handle this."

At that moment, Gu Chen stepped forward, without any hesitation, directly used the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye ability "Heavenly Immortal Flying Outside," the radiant sword light bursting forth like polar lights in the sky, severing everything.

"Another twenty thousand merit points credited," Gu Chen glanced at his panel, quite satisfied.

Then, under Gu Chen’s lead, they moved forward. During their journey, many more dragon beasts appeared and were all slain by Gu Chen.

And his merit points also saw a surge, or rather, a skyrocket.

"Perhaps, this trip to the dragon lair might not only perfect the Immortal Sacred Body, but the Primordial Soul Diagram as well!" With this thought, Gu Chen’s mood also started to boil.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen continuously scanned the deeper parts of the medicinal garden with the Heavenly Eye, searching for divine medicines and hundred-thousand-year sacred medicines.

Both of these were immensely useful, whether for achieving perfection in his physical, primordial soul, and spiritual cultivation or for breaking through to the Heaven Realm.

"Hm?"

However, just as Gu Chen was searching for these two items in the garden, an unexpected figure appeared in his sight.

It was a man in black with a cold aura, pale skin, and pupils devoid of any emotion, looking like a corpse.

It was Ghostly Son, the successor of Netherworld Heaven!

Back when Gu Chen was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints, he had encountered an incarnation of the other party. Little did he expect to meet him again today in the dragon lair’s medicinal garden.

"It seems he also has a secret treasure or ability for breaking arrays," Gu Chen realized.

Otherwise, like him, no one else would have been able to reach this place and venture deep into the medicinal garden.

"Indeed, none of these supreme successors are simple!" Gu Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Ghostly Son was extremely perceptive. The moment Gu Chen noticed him, he also saw Gu Chen.

"We meet again," Ghostly Son began, his voice cold and ghostly, sending shivers down one’s spine even though they were far apart.

Upon hearing this voice, Long Yi’s face changed instantly, clearly recognizing the identity of Ghostly Son.

Swoosh!

Ghostly Son was incredibly fast, almost teleporting as he suddenly crossed the vast distance and appeared right in front of Gu Chen and his group.

"Breaking Array Talisman?!" Gu Chen’s eyes narrowed upon seeing the item in Ghostly Son’s hand.

It was a talisman filled with mysterious patterns, currently emitting a faint light, protecting Ghostly Son as he moved unscathed among various array patterns.

Such was the effect of the Breaking Array Talisman, a rare and precious item indeed!

Only the heirs of such great heavenly powers could possess such riches.

"Hand over everything you have, and I might spare your life," Ghostly Son stated indifferently.

His words were calm, neither haughty nor mocking, as if he was stating a mere fact.

Such was the confidence of a Nine Heavens successor in their own strength!

The moment Ghostly Son appeared, Long Yi, Ren Fei, and the six Great Powers from Qingyun Palace trembled, feeling a cold dread surge through them as if rabbits who had seen a tyrannosaur!

This was a fundamental suppression of life, causing Long Yi and the other eight Great Powers to break out in cold sweat.

"Who is this person?!" Ren Fei gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand his ground.

Although they were all Heavenly Great Powers, why was there such a vast difference between them, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm?

It was as if they were not even beings of the same realm, facing Ghostly Son, Ren Fei and Long Yi felt an involuntary sense of despair.

"True body!" At that moment, Gu Chen too tensed up, feeling a chill in his heart.

This time, the one who appeared in the true dragon lair was not an incarnation, but the true body of Ghostly Son.

Having reached the Heavenly realm, the strength of a Nine Heavens successor was indeed unparalleled, compelling even Gu Chen to brace himself.

Seeing Gu Chen not speaking and sensing the rising battle intent in him, Ghostly Son, still expressionless, said, "I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, you will die miserably."

Gu Chen didn’t speak but locked eyes with Ghostly Son. Their gazes collided in mid-air, their auras mingling, causing the surrounding void to tremble!

With a loud boom, the next moment, both of them moved!

They soared into the sky like two true dragons, entangling and clashing fiercely.

Gu Chen, with his black hair flowing and a robust physique, stood in the heavens like a war god.

And Ghostly Son, pale-skinned with an indifferent gaze like a god of death, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, his aura was terrifying.

Bang bang bang!

A series of intense fighting sounds followed, the heavens and earth thundered, as if thunder were shaking, and the two engaged in a primal close combat, their bodies colliding fiercely.

The two, though merely bodies of flesh and blood, now seemed like comets from beyond the cosmos, colliding together, causing immense waves!

At this moment, Long Yi, Ren Fei, and the other eight Great Powers stood far away, trembling.

Undoubtedly, today, here, a great, earth-shaking battle would unfold!
