Chapter 1381: Chapter 293: Battle with Ghostly Son Again_2

"If that was the case, how strong must his opponent’s physical body be?"

"No!" At that moment, Ghostly Son’s expression turned stern as he coldly said to Gu Chen, "Has your physical body broken through?"

"You talk too much!" Gu Chen’s expression was cold, and he paid no heed.

At this moment, he rose into the air like a true dragon, leaping down and chopping at Ghostly Son with a palm strike.

Hiss!

In an instant, the bright blade of light stretched for several tens of yards, this palm strike was terrifying indeed!

Ghostly Son refused to believe, as demonic energy spread throughout his body, transforming into armor that covered his entire form, intending to clash head-on with Gu Chen once more.

But still, it was futile, as, within a single exchange, his arm was severed by Gu Chen!

Blood spurted wildly, and Ghostly Son kept retreating, his face showing a very clear expression for the first time, extremely grim.

Since he was born, this was the first time he had sustained such serious damage.

Moreover, his opponent was a cultivator a whole major realm lower than him.

"But being physically stronger is just that, just like that barbarian from Primordial Heaven, possessing merely brute strength, what good can it do!" Ghostly Son spat.

"It’s enough to kill you!"

Gu Chen’s figure flashed forward, not giving Ghostly Son any time to breathe, his blood energy covering Eight Desolations, shaking heaven and earth, in that moment he struck out eighty-one palms!

This rapidity of strikes was too fast, each palm was delivered with full force, and Gu Chen’s pinnacle Eighth Stage physical body was utilized to its utmost, his vast blood energy was enough to split heaven and earth, manifesting as eight true dragons behind him, intimidating the universe!

With a thunderous boom, terrifying fluctuations poured out like an ocean, stars exploded, and the entire valley trembled, nearly on the verge of collapse.

Blood and black mist splattered everywhere, no matter how strong Ghostly Son was, in terms of physical strength he was utterly crushed by Gu Chen, who had reached the limits of the Eighth Stage - he was simply no match!

His body exploded, turning into a sky of black bloody rain drifting away, just as Gu Chen was about to completely eradicate him, suddenly, an ominous premonition emerged at the bottom of his heart.

Gu Chen was also very fast, without engaging in prolonged battle, his figure flashed and disappeared, while at the previous spot, massive amounts of dark green Nine Netherworld Fires and ink-like dense demonic energy emerged.

In the blink of an eye, the sky of black blood merged again with the overwhelming demonic energy, and Ghostly Son’s pallid body reappeared at that spot.

At this moment, his face was frighteningly grim, and his usually emotionless eyes were also nearly spewing fire.

Just now, if it were not for the powerful Demon inside him, he would have perished!

The taste of death was not pleasant, even with a mind as firm as Ghostly Son’s, he certainly did not wish to experience it a second time.

"I will kill you until you despair!" Ghostly Son howled, his face becoming extremely ferocious, like a malevolent spirit.

In response to his opponent’s words, Gu Chen said nothing. His feedback to Ghostly Son was his dazzling fists, shining like the sun, seemingly capable of shattering the heavens!

"Roar!"

This time, Ghostly Son learned his lesson. With a long howl, he used a movement technique from the Ghostly Lord, very fast, instantly dodging while also creating a vast distance from Gu Chen.

Clearly, after the close combat battle just now, the strength of Gu Chen’s physical body had instilled fear in Ghostly Son.

"Nine Netherworld Fires, burn everything under heaven!" Ghostly Son screamed as endless dark green flames appeared between heaven and earth.

At the same time, there were also sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling, which penetrated into one’s mind even if they closed off their hearing.

"Solar True Fire!"

With his black hair scattered, his physique robust, and his eyes deep and indifferent, Gu Chen’s Solar Scripture, having reached its seventh level, was tremendously powerful.

Together with the Solar True Fire, it had almost reached its limit, turning into a blazing golden color, like a vast cloud pressing down, covering all of the Nine Netherworld Fires unleashed by Ghostly Son.

*Hiss hiss hiss!*

This time, the two were no longer equally matched; Gu Chen’s Solar True Fire overwhelmed Ghostly Son’s Nine Netherworld Fires, continuously extinguishing them.

"What?!" Ghostly Son was shocked. After just a month or two, why had Gu Chen’s strength reached such a level?

This was completely different from their initial battle, and he had even used the power of the celestial demon within his body.

It should be noted that during this period, Ghostly Son had not been without progress; his cultivation had reached the middle peak of the Transcendent Realm, and he was just one step away from a breakthrough.

He had thought he could overwhelm Gu Chen, but unexpectedly, it was he who was overwhelmed.

For a moment, this disparity was somewhat hard for Ghostly Son, a ninth heaven descendent, to accept.

"Netherworld Ghost Hand!" He roared fiercely, using another of his supreme techniques.

Instantly, gusts of gloomy wind picked up, sending chills down one’s spine as if the gates of hell had opened. Accompanying these winds, numerous skeletal claws emerged, densely filling the void, endless in sight.

It was a terrifying spectacle, imbued with overwhelming demonic energy and an extremely intense cold aura, capable of corroding the flesh and tainting the soul!

It was a tripartite attack; Ghostly Son manipulated those skeletal claws, all of which grasped towards Gu Chen, completely submerging his figure.

*Boom!*

But in the next moment, a thunderous explosion sounded, as the newly refined and now purer 35,000 years of power within Gu Chen’s body erupted. A terrifyingly fierce storm instantly whipped up in the valley, sweeping towards the high heavens.

Those dense, unending skeletal claws that had submerged Gu Chen’s figure also instantaneously exploded, instantly turning into dust and scattering with the wind.

"This level of cultivation?!" Ghostly Son’s pupils contracted, his heart trembling violently!

"If that’s all you’ve got, today, I will take your life!" Gu Chen ascended, flying towards the sky. His gaze was indifferent as he looked down on Ghostly Son from above.

At this moment, seeing Gu Chen’s towering figure, Ghostly Son gritted his teeth. He, a ninth heaven descendent who had sealed for endless ages and emerged in this era to stand at the pinnacle of all realms, almost died prematurely without achieving anything, now even struggling against an Earth realm cultivator of this era.

"Ah—"

Unable to bear this humiliation, Ghostly Son roared, his face contorted, as boundless demonic energy surged out from within his body, completely enveloping him.

"Heh heh heh, I’ve told you, you need my power, we two are originally one!" At that moment, an exceedingly sinister voice sounded, originating from Ghostly Son’s body.

"Kill him, I want to kill him, to crush his bones and scatter his ashes!" Ghostly Son’s voice was nearly hoarse.

"As you wish, as long as you are willing to unleash all my power, together, we will be invincible!" the sinister figure spoke.

It was at this moment that a terrifyingly sinister, cold aura swept out from within Ghostly Son, as if it could shatter heaven and earth!

At this moment, Ghostly Son reached his true peak, his power soaring to an ultimate extreme!
