Chapter 1392 - 299: Sweeping Across the Field

Chapter 1392: Chapter 299: Sweeping Across the Field

"All of this was a trap; we’ve been deceived!" Both Yuangu and Ghostly Son’s hearts trembled, as a sense of foreboding abruptly arose within them.

At this moment, not to mention them, even Ren Fei, Long Yi, and Dongba were flabbergasted.

Only the three Palace Masters of Qingyun Palace, Master Qin and the others, stood high in the sky, watching the people of the Palace of Youming with cold smiles on their faces.

Everything that had happened before was, of course, a ruse they had concocted. Otherwise, how could they have possibly fooled Ghostly Son and the others?

In fact, to keep this matter secret, the whole sequence of events was known only to Gu Chen and those three individuals.

"Gu Chen anticipated correctly; Ghostly Son couldn’t wait and rashly jumped out!" Master Gong declared.

Originally, on the way to the Becoming Immortal realm, Gu Chen had an idea and shared this strategy with Master Qin and the others.

Afterwards, having meticulously planned, they immediately decided to implement it.

The so-called leak of information was naturally a deliberate act by the three Masters Qin.

Gu Chen’s ploy was intended to draw out the real big fish; he speculated that if the news of his breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm spread, the Saintly Son of the Holy Door would not be able to sit still either!

Because Gu Chen was confident that with the strength he had shown, if he broke through to the Heavenly Realm, it would instill fear in all the prodigies and monsters in the Saint Realm!

Now it seemed that the plan was immensely successful.

The eyes of Master Qin and his companions moved around, looking towards the imposing figure at the rear of the vast army of the Palace of Youming.

With their keen vision, they easily recognized the uniqueness of Yuangu.

"Besides Palace of Youming, the abundance of these experts must surely all belong to the Holy Door!" The trio’s gaze then shifted to unfamiliar figures they did not recognize.

Also hailing from the Nine Heavens, they were quite familiar with the cultivators of the Palace of Youming and effortlessly recognized the people from the Holy Door.

"The question is how the situation at Gu Chen’s end is now; it’s time to close the net!" said the three Masters Qin, their expressions grave.

"Everything was fake!" Ghostly Son was enraged; he felt he had placed too much trust in Yuangu!

Of course, now was not the time for internal strife. What mattered most was to find Gu Chen and prevent him from successfully breaking through.

At that moment, Yuangu also regained his composure and said in a cold voice, "Since it is so, we should just completely annihilate Qingyun Palace first. I would like to see how, by himself, Gu Chen can turn the tides against heaven!"

"Kill!"

At that moment, Yuangu gave the order, and a great battle immediately erupted once more.

The three Palace Masters of Youming subconsciously sensed something was off, but with the battle having reached this stage, ceasing hostilities was not something that could easily be achieved.

"We have no choice but to decide on a winner now!" said the Palace Master of Youming coldly, rising to the skies and once again engaging in combat with the Palace Master of Qingyun Palace.

Master Qin and his fellows were solemn; now, they could only hope that Gu Chen would leave his retreat as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Qingyun Palace would suffer devastating losses in today’s battle!

...

In the realm of Becoming Immortal, within the dried-up pool, Gu Chen’s figure was not present; he had already disappeared.

At that moment, he had arrived in the Heavenly Seed world inside his body, upon the continent formed by the transformation of the Zhou Cauldron, where he sat in meditation for cultivation.

"I’ve finally succeeded!"

Suddenly, at that moment, a rumbling sound spread across the entire continent. The heavens and earth resonated, followed by an omnipotent aura that permeated everywhere, as if a slumbering war god had Awakened!

Gu Chen opened his eyes, the light within them more dazzling than the sun. His body was robust, with every pore emitting light, and threads of undying aura diffused around him.

He sat there, hair as black as waterfall casually draped, eyes deep and glittering, his entire being radiating splendor, giving the impression of having achieved godhood!

After nine turns of the physical body and the perfection of the soul, seeing that the pool of Becoming Immortal was depleted, Gu Chen directly transferred to the Heavenly Seed world within his body.

Because here, the flow of time was different; he could emerge from his retreat even faster!

"Ghostly Son, I’ve been looking forward to your taking the bait, as well as the so-called Young Master of the Holy Door. Let me unveil your mystique and take this opportunity to round all of you demons and evil spirits up and thoroughly subdue you!"

Gu Chen whispered softly, his voice resonant, the entire world echoing with his resonance, like a godking bearing the edicts of heaven.

Swoosh!

The next moment, his formidable and intimidating body disappeared from the interior of the Heavenly Seed world and then reappeared in the exterior world.

"The realm of Becoming Immortal is depleted again."

Gu Chen surveyed his surroundings; his breakthrough had drained all the energy in this small thousand-worlds realm, and it had now become a place devoid of spiritual essence.

And with the collapse of the Saintly Realm imminent, this place would no longer witness the wonders of the past and would thus vanish completely!

"Although it’s a pity, it cannot be helped," Gu Chen said softly, somewhat regretful.

And it was at this time that he received a message from Qingyun Palace’s Palace Master, Master Qin.

"The bait was cast, and they all took it, didn’t they?" Gu Chen’s gaze flickered, and two streaks of lightning shot forth, spanning nearly thirty feet.

This was enough to show how abundant were spirit, vitality, and essence in the present Gu Chen, a rarity in both the past and the present, surpassing even those in the great perfection of the Feather Transformation Realm!

Afterwards, Gu Chen took a step that seemed to shrink the land to an inch, turning vast distances into a mere stride.

With just a flash of his figure, he disappeared from the realm of Becoming Immortal, crossed the prohibitions, and arrived in the outside world!
