Chapter 1374: Chapter 290: Subduing the Top 10 Strong Races

The Garden of the Gods shimmered with flowing light, exceptionally beautiful, covering a vast area, a realm unto itself.

The surrounding fog displayed an array of colors but contained deadly poison; however, Gu Chen’s body was strong, and he wielded the Sun-Yang Skill, so he had no fear.

The colorful mists couldn’t even approach his body, as they were all incinerated into nothingness, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Yet, no matter how the golden Solar Scripture flames burned on Gu Chen’s body, the colorful toxic fog still persisted, impossible to completely erase.

"After all, this is a medicinal garden created by a supreme being among the heavens," Gu Chen mused to himself.

Then, he stepped forward, entering the Garden of the Gods, the faintly burning Solar Scripture flames on his body clearing a path for him.

"Indeed, the entire void is densely filled with array patterns, truly terrifying," Gu Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows as soon as he entered the Garden of the Gods.

Fortunately, since arriving here, he had been constantly using his Heavenly Eye ability, thus he could see the peripheral array patterns with absolute clarity.

"Still, it’s better not to be too careless," Gu Chen thought, then flipped his palm and took out a gleaming talisman, the Breaking Array Talisman given to him by Master Qin of the Qingyun Palace.

As soon as the talisman appeared, an inexplicable light spread, enveloping Gu Chen’s body and forming a shield of light. In no time, the myriad array patterns parted wherever he went.

This was the marvelous use of the Breaking Array Talisman, much more convenient than Gu Chen’s painstaking use of the Heavenly Eye to continuously probe.

"According to Master Qin and the others, the Breaking Array Talisman is still useful in the outer areas of the Garden of the Gods, but once you penetrate deeper, you must rely on yourself," Gu Chen’s eyes flickered with divine light, resolute to obtain the sacred medicine to break through to the realm of heaven, he was willing to gamble it all.

The inside of the Garden of the Gods was fragrant and lush, with medicinal scents wafting even through the void; it was said that when this place was first discovered, there were many sacred medicines on the outskirts.

Regrettably, some people were too decisive in their actions at the beginning, uprooting these sacred medicines along with their roots, cutting off the chance for regrowth, which led to a rather barren periphery over the many years.

With the Breaking Array Talisman and the Heavenly Eye ability in hand, Gu Chen relatively breezed along, heading deeper into the Garden of the Gods.

Humming!

Suddenly, halfway through his journey, Gu Chen heard a piercing buzzing sound. He quickly turned his head and looked toward the distance.

There, a vast swarm of Black Gold Ants was approaching, the same creatures Gu Chen had previously encountered in the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints!

They had sharp mouthparts and their bodies were incredibly hard, each flashing red eyes as they surged towards Gu Chen.

"So many?"

Gu Chen’s brows shot up as he saw the number of Black Gold Ants, which was nearly double what had been in the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints.

Even the Great Powers of the heavenly realm would feel dizzy and could only flee immediately from such a swarm of insects, only some Great Powers at the later stages of metamorphic realm could cope with them.

"Perfect, time to harvest some merit points," in a flash, Gu Chen waved his hand, and the sky full of golden flames transformed into a giant dragon, striking out to kill.

The supremely yang and hardy Solar Scripture flames, for these Black Gold Ants, were indeed their bane; unable to even scream, the ants were completely incinerated to ashes.

Of course, this was mainly because Gu Chen’s Solar Scripture had reached the sixth level, only three levels shy of perfection; his Solar Scripture flames were incredibly pure, almost reaching the ultimate level where they could become divine flames capable of burning all things.

For this reason, the Black Gold Ants were utterly powerless to fight back.

Otherwise, another cultivator wielding the Solar Scripture flames would not have been able to achieve such a swift and clean outcome as Gu Chen did.

"Over twenty thousand merit points, not bad," Gu Chen said to himself after dealing with the Black Gold Ants, checking the panel and nodding slightly.

Now, having perfected both the Immortal Sacred Body and the Soul Chart, Gu Chen’s primary goal shifted to the Solar Scripture technique.

As the Solar Scripture’s level increased, the spiritual power within his body became purer, and the Solar Scripture flames grew stronger.

When Gu Chen had traveled five thousand miles within the Garden of the Gods, he finally encountered a sacred medicine with an age of about thirty-five thousand years.

Whoosh!

This sacred medicine was hidden within the earth, and upon being discovered by Gu Chen, it attempted to flee skyward, but how could it be faster than Gu Chen? He snagged it in one swoop.

Thud!

But suddenly, a trembling sound from the earth came. Not far away, a massive being was approaching.

Gu Chen turned his head, his Heavenly Eye piercing through the colorful poisonous fog, and saw three hundred miles away, a figure with a golden hue rushing towards him.

"Golden Giant Clan?" Gu Chen’s eyebrows raised as he recognized the identity of the newcomers.

This clan, like the White Tiger and Kirin Clans, was one of the top ten powerful races in the upper realms, particularly strong in physical strength.

The freak from the Golden Giant Clan was over thirty feet tall, and this was not even his true form.

It was said that the ancient ancestor of the Golden Giant Clan had lived from the primordial era to the present, and once he revealed his true body, he could reach the clouds and simply lift an arm to snatch the moon from beyond the domain.

One could imagine how immense his body was.

Thirty feet was merely the size of the freak from the Golden Giant Clan in his usual state.

Thump thump thump!

As the Golden Giant continued to stride forward, even the ground couldn’t stop trembling, and Gu Chen stood calmly in place, knowing that he was the Giant’s target.
