Chapter 1385: Chapter 296: Nine Turns Opportunity, Land of Becoming an Immortal

In a dark corner of the sacred core realm, Ghostly Son appeared.

This place was the secluded meditation area of Yuan Gu, the Holy Child of the Sacred Sect.

Evidently, the members of the Sacred Sect guarding the outside all recognized Ghostly Son. Seeing his grim expression as he approached, they dared not hinder him and quickly let him pass.

Yuan Gu, with his long black hair scattered, stood there sturdy as a magnificent demonic mountain, imposing a strong sense of oppression.

"You have arrived." Yuan Gu opened his eyes, his voice neutral as he spotted Ghostly Son.

Without a doubt, Yuan Gu was a creature of this era, yet facing Ghostly Son, a descendant of the Nine Heavens, he remained extraordinarily calm.

Ghostly Son was used to Yuan Gu’s demeanor and knew the terror of the man before him!

"I encountered Gu Chen." Ghostly Son spoke, his tone dangerously low.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu took another glance at Ghostly Son and asked, "You lost?"

His voice held a hint of surprise, clearly taken aback by the news.

After all, Yuan Gu was well aware of Ghostly Son’s strength, and knowing that he possessed a powerful demon within, Yuan Gu couldn’t think of anyone else from their era capable of defeating him except himself.

"I underestimated him," Yuan Gu commented lightly.

Ghostly Son’s expression darkened as he said, "We must act immediately and capture him!"

Yuan Gu glanced at him, indifferent, and responded, "I have sent men to deal with him before, but they failed. Now that even you are not his match, no one under my command can contend against him."

Ghostly Son clenched his teeth and said, "Yuan Gu, it’s time for you to make a move. How long do you plan to keep a low profile!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had intended to wait for the final battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes Combat to directly settle the scores and eliminate all supreme beings in one swoop, then devour them.

Such a move would certainly allow him a tremendous ascent!

"What, you are reluctant?" Ghostly Son said gravely.

"I need to maximize his value," Yuan Gu replied cooly.

What he meant was that he wanted to wait for Gu Chen to break through to the Ascension Realm before defeating and devouring him.

Elbut Ghostly Son argued, "If he breaks through to the Ascension Realm, no one of his generation will be a match for him, no exceptions!"

"Hmm?" Yuan Gu frowned. He was confident in his own strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to be so complacent knowing Gu Chen’s potential.

Ghostly Son declared sternly, "You may not be aware, but Gu Chen has already reached the eighth transformation limit of his physical body, and his elemental spirit is close to the initial completion of the nascent state. He just needs one opportunity to break through to the Ascension Realm. By then, if his physical body reaches the ninth transformation and his elemental spirit is complete, will you still be able to defeat him with confidence?"

"What did you say?!" Yuan Gu frowned, visibly shaken.

"His physical body and elemental spirit are about to be complete?" He asked solemnly for confirmation.

There is a big difference between the early stages of an eighth transformation and the limits of the eighth transformation.

If Gu Chen was indeed at the eighth transformation limit as Ghostly Son suggested, breaking through to the Ascension Realm and undergoing the ninth transformation of his physical body was all but certain.

This was the very thing Yuan Gu was fervently preparing for; if it was true, he indeed would not be a match for Gu Chen.

"This is impossible, even among the younger generation, including those like you who have been sealed in this era, achieving such a state is difficult," Yuan Gu retorted vehemently.

A ninth transformation physical body and a nascent state complete elemental spirit, even gods would find it challenging at this juncture.

Only after a lengthy consolidation in the Transcendence Realm could one hope to achieve such feats.

The leap from the eighth to the ninth transformation might appear to be simply another realm, but the gap was too vast.

Because a ninth transformation physical body meant perfection!

Just one more step forward, and he would be able to engage in Heavenly Body Transforming Battles, where even some of the Ascension Realm giants could not compare with just their physical bodies alone!

That’s why Yuan Gu was disbelieving.

But Ghostly Son, with a severe expression, said, "Whether you believe it or not, you’ll know if you try. I can only tell you this is your last chance to eradicate him!"

Yuan Gu’s expression was no longer calm in response to these words, but deeply somber.

The words of Ghostly Son made him realize, had he been underestimating Gu Chen too much?

"Are you suggesting we take action now and eliminate him ahead of time?" asked Yuan Gu.

"Exactly! But we should wait a while for my injuries to heal," Ghostly Son replied.

"Do you think I’m not a match for him?" Yuan Gu raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly intensifying.

Ghostly Son looked at Yuan Gu, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes. He really hadn’t expected two such unparalleled freaks as Gu Chen and Yuan Gu to appear in this era.

Since Yuan Gu had become the young master of the Sacred Sect, naturally, he had extraordinary capabilities, being born with a demonic body and possessing a dark demonic heart, an exceptionally powerful constitution!

Moreover, this constitution made Yuan Gu extremely compatible with demons. Ghostly Son suspected that the level of demon within this young master of the Sacred Sect certainly surpassed that of the Transcendence Realm!

Even if the rules of the Sacred Realm could suppress it, once the power of that demon erupted, it would be unstoppable.

Therefore, Ghostly Son was so wary of Yuan Gu.

Even sometimes when Yuan Gu was rude to him, he didn’t wish to entangle himself in disputes.

"I want to end him with my own hands!" At that moment, Ghostly Son declared.

Yuan Gu, his expression becoming grave, after a moment, spoke, "Since that is the case, I will give you some time."
