Chapter 1355: Chapter 280 Intense Confrontation

Boom! The sky shook and the earth trembled as two figures, agile as true dragons, leaped up and soared into the sky.

It was Gu Chen and Ghostly Son!

"Who is this person... and why does he have such terrifying strength?" Ren Fei spoke, his face turning somewhat pale.

Just by his aura alone, he could intimidate those of the same realm who possessed Great Powers, which showed how strong Ghostly Son was.

Upon hearing this, Long Yi said gravely, "In the last great era, personally taught by the Ghostly Lord!"

"What!?" Upon hearing these eight words, Ren Fei and the seven elders of the Qingyun Palace immediately felt a tremor in their hearts.

Although they were not beings from the last great era but were born in this era, they had heard of the Ghostly Lord’s fame.

He was an existence parallel to the master of Azure Cloud Sky; in the last great era, except when facing the Ice Emperor, he was invincible across all realms!

Such a character, having imparted all he knew to his disciple, naturally produced a disciple of terrifying prowess!

"No wonder he possesses such formidable strength," a Great Power of Qingyun Palace remarked fearfully beside Ren Fei.

"Can Brother Gu compete with him?" Ren Fei asked, worried.

In his view, the strength of a disciple of the Ninth Heaven could match that of the sealed prodigies of emperor and royal families deep within the holy realm, not lacking even slightly.

After all, the nine masters of the last great era were renowned throughout the ancient cultivation history as extraordinary beings among the highest heavens.

Thump!

At that moment, high above, Gu Chen and Ghostly Son had already commenced their grand battle!

Brilliant light radiated, their physical bodies collided, and the force between their palms and fingers possessed the power of ten thousand jun, continuously striking each other, causing the void to tremble and nearly collapse.

This was the medicinal garden of a true dragon, surrounded by voids filled with powerful matrixes, yet their confrontation still resulted in such a scene, showcasing their incredible power.

Ghostly Son, with his lean physique, pale complexion, and expressionless face, resembled a ancient corpse and didn’t appear robust, yet he withstood the powerful collisions with Gu Chen!

The two stood in the sky, arms whirling, Gang Wind howling, with hundreds and thousands of phantoms flickering between heaven and earth, enough to dazzle any Earth realm Great Power and obscure their vision of the actual scene.

"Indeed, a prodigy of the Ninth Heaven has a body like mine, having undergone reshaping eight times!" Gu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he realized this fact.

This meant that during the perfection of the Unity realm, Ghostly Son had reached the seventh transformation of the flesh, truly extraordinary and exceedingly rare throughout ancient and modern times.

After all, even the strongest prodigies from the top ten clans and immortal-level doctrines could not achieve this, achieving at most the sixth transformation, and only after stepping into the Earth realm did they experience the seventh reshaping of their bodies.

Such was the case for Jin Xuan of the Golden Roc Clan, as well as Zong Xiu of the Three-Eyed God Clan.

As Gu Chen discovered this, Ghostly Son also acknowledged his strength, causing the Ninth Heaven’s disciple to frown slightly.

The meaning behind the eighth transformation at the Unity realm and the eighth transformation at the Earth realm was completely different.

"So, this is why you dared to wage war against me?" Ghostly Son spoke, his voice low and hoarse as he looked at Gu Chen with cold and merciless eyes, an icy aura pervading his surroundings.

"Unfortunately for you, I belong to the Earth realm, and in every respect, you are no match for me!" Ghostly Son’s words were chilling as he flipped his palm down fiercely.

Boom!

In that instant, heaven and earth trembled. His palm strike felt as though the sky was collapsing, immense and oppressively heavy despite showing no peculiar phenomena.

Moreover, at that moment, to make a swiftly decisive battle, Ghostly Son unleashed his full strength, his body emitting a faint, mysterious luster, causing anyone who saw it to feel both complexity and palpitations.

"Is that... the light of the Law?!" Ren Fei and Long Yi’s pupils constricted, unable to help but cry out in shock.

When a cultivator steps into the Earth realm, they undergo a transcendental transformation, their strength increasing geometrically, and they also forge a Dao body, with fragments of the law emerging in various parts of their body.

If one’s background and foundation are deep enough, like Ghostly Son, stepping into the Earth realm allows one to resonate with the primordial essence of the world and even activate the law fragments within their body, radiating the light of the Law and augmenting themselves.

At this point, every movement they make brings an explosive increase in power!

Seeing this, Gu Chen also felt amazed. The law fragments within his body were exceptionally abundant, but as he was in the Earth realm and had not stepped into the realm above, regardless of having more law fragments than Ghostly Son before him, he could not employ this technique.

This was the unique aspect of the Earth realm.

At this moment, with the light of the Law enhancing him, Ghostly Son did not need to use his magic power, but his physical body had indeed become greatly strengthened. Whether it was Zong Xiu, Purple Meng, or Ao Jing, facing this move, they would be utterly defeated and killed instantly.

Only the heavenly Ning Du, employing the so-called initial form of Heaven’s Judgement, might have a slight chance of survival.

This was the formidable nature of a disciple of the Ninth Heaven, superior to all when compared with others, with only those of the same level being able to match them!

"Indeed, only a cultivator of this level is worthy of my full effort." Gu Chen’s eyes flickered, and at that moment, he too fully unleashed his power, ready to give his all.

Boom!

Within Gu Chen, a surging torrent of blood qi, vaster than the ocean, circulated, the roaring sound of a true dragon shaking the world as a tremendously thick dragon-shaped essence erupted from the crown of his head into the sky, his powerful strength spreading continuously throughout his limbs and bones.
