Chapter 1380: Chapter 293: Battling Ghostly Son Again

Gu Chen swept his sleeve, and the surging magical prowess lifted Dongba of the Golden Giant Clan into the air. Utilizing his third-grade Heavenly Eye, he closely followed the faint demonic aura that was hidden in the depths of the void.

It had to be said, the speed of this demonic aura was incredibly fast, nearly merging with the void itself, as if teleporting.

With each flicker, it moved a great distance, a feat even the late-stage Great Powers of the Feathered Transformation realm would find hard to keep up with.

"Has it actually penetrated deep into the divine garden?" Gu Chen was astonished, but still followed closely behind.

After attaining the third-grade Heavenly Eye, even the essence of heaven and earth was as clear to him as patterns on the palm, naturally including the array patterns densely scattered throughout this void’s space, which he could easily avoid.

"Could it be the young master of the Sacred Sect?" Gu Chen contemplated; those with the power to reach the depths of the divine garden were few, even considering the core of the entire Holy Realm.

At this moment, Gu Chen also grew very curious about the identity of the Sacred Sect’s young master and wanted to know who the opponent really was.

Could it be a top-tier monstrosity whom he was well-acquainted with? Or perhaps, someone the Sacred Sect had been secretly nurturing, never before seen in the upper realm?

However, Gu Chen was not in a hurry, for the answer would be revealed very soon.

After following that demonic aura for another ten thousand li, it finally stopped.

In a valley not far away, a man had just harvested a Saint Herb of eighty-thousand years. He was tall and had an expressionless face with pale skin, giving off the impression of an ancient corpse standing there.

"The Ghostly Son, is it him?!" Gu Chen exclaimed in surprise; he did not expect the Sacred Sect’s young master to be this person.

"No, that’s not right!" But soon, he sensed something amiss.

As a descendant of the Ghostly Lord from Netherworld Heaven sealed for endless eons, how could the Ghostly Son possibly be the holy son of the Sacred Sect?

If he was, the Ghostly Lord would not have sealed him but would have put him to death without leaving such a danger.

Moreover, considering the establishment timeline of the Sacred Sect, the timelines didn’t match at all.

"It seems, he is not." Gu Chen frowned, arriving at such a conclusion.

But regardless, although he still didn’t know who the Sacred Sect’s holy son was, it was undeniable that the Ghostly Son had connections with the Sacred Sect – that much was certain.

Otherwise, this strand of demonic aura would not have come here.

"Who?!"

The Ghostly Son’s perception was extremely keen, and quickly he sensed something wrong, his cold gaze shifting towards Gu Chen.

Since he had been discovered, Gu Chen simply revealed himself, he had nothing to hide.

"It’s you again." Seeing Gu Chen appear, the Ghostly Son immediately frowned.

After absorbing that thread of demonic aura, the Ghostly Son soon learned of all that had transpired recently.

"It seems you’ve tracked me here and uncovered quite a bit," said the Ghostly Son indifferently, looking at Gu Chen.

"So what if I have?" Gu Chen responded calmly, without a trace of fear as he locked eyes with the corpse-like Ghostly Son.

"Since that’s the case, I cannot allow you to leave!" the Ghostly Son burst out, shouting, "It’s just perfect to devour you and greatly enhance my powers!"

With a boom, he slammed down his palm, causing the heaven and earth to tremble violently, as if a volcano had erupted.

When Gu Chen arrived with Dongba of the Golden Giant Clan, he had already instructed him to hide far away, as he knew even then that a great battle was inevitable today.

"Ghostly Son, as a successor of the Ghostly Lord, you’ve betrayed the upper realm and defected to the Sacred Sect. Can you live up to the Ghostly Lord’s cultivation of you, or even your own name?!" Gu Chen thundered, his eyes ice-cold.

The Ghostly Son, once entrusted with the hopes of the highest Ghostly Lord in the last great epoch, and by all of Netherworld Heaven, was expected to lead them to glory like the Ghostly Lord before him, and to resurrect their splendor in this new era.

Yet now, the Ghostly Son had betrayed the upper realm, the Ghostly Lord, and Netherworld Heaven, secretly defecting to the Sacred Sect. His treacherous nature was so vile it couldn’t even be described as having the heart of a wolf or the lung of a dog!

Even Gu Chen felt a surge of anger in his heart. He had been combating these vile spirits since the land of Jiuzhou, and he had no fondness for them. Now, with the Ghostly Son’s actions, his will to kill soared almost to the extreme.

"How can the sparrow understand the ambitions of the swan? You understand nothing!" the Ghostly Son replied, not showing any remorse even after being exposed, his hand reaching out to suppress Gu Chen.

On his palm manifested a layer of pitch-black demonic aura; he had been harboring a Heavenly Demon within his body!

"Lacking shame, clinging to life and fearing death, what’s there to explain? I really feel for Netherworld Heaven!" Gu Chen rebuked the Ghostly Son.

Subsequently, facing the Ghostly Son’s striking palm, Gu Chen’s blood qi exploded within him. His hair danced wildly, and an intense aura of oppression emanated from him. At that moment, he was like a war god descending upon the earthly realm.

Boom!

Gu Chen’s punch, like a rainbow, was faster than it seemed, striking the Ghostly Son’s palm and causing the latter’s body to tremble violently, as if struck by lightning, retreating uncontrollably.

With a splatter, blood flew forth, and under no need to conceal it, his blood was black.

"How can this be?!" the Ghostly Son exclaimed, not expecting that even after utilizing the power of the Heavenly Demon within him and engaging in physical combat, he was still no match for Gu Chen.
