"Zi Lian really was decisive," one had to admit.

Back in the lair of the true dragons, Gu Chen once slew Ning Du of the Heavenly Clan and Purple Meng of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, thereby incurring the enmity of both great imperial clans.

Subsequently, both have been in seclusion, seeking a greater breakthrough, but word of Gu Chen’s exploits in the Divine Realm continued to reach their ears.

One might say, in recent times, Gu Chen had become a person of interest in the Divine Realm, his strength making all supreme geniuses wary!

Even for Ning Yu Fei and Zi Lian, the offspring of two lofty figures of the heavens, with their incredibly powerful bloodlines, they dared not be careless.

Boom!

Zi Lian made his move, a purple beam of light shooting towards Gu Chen.

Gu Chen abruptly turned, his eyes cold, and with a casual strike, he cleaved Zi Lian’s attack in two, then snuffed it out.

"Do you wish to die?" Gu Chen asked coldly.

He had heard of these two, and although the pressure upon him here was the greatest, he would not fear anyone.

Beside this scene, other young cultivators looked on with curiosity as Gu Chen faced off with Zi Lian.

Of course, many others took advantage of this confrontation to quietly move forward, hoping to be the first to enter the Golden Path Palace and seize the opportunities within.

Zi Lian said nothing. His burly figure stood over two fathoms tall, with purple pupils from which purple light burst forth.

Bam!

He struck again, his vigorous magical power condensing into a massive palm print that pressed down.

Gu Chen’s expression was stern. His physical body had undergone nine transformations, and the pressure he faced here was unparalleled. Even combined, Zi Lian and Ning Yu Fei could not compare to him.

Yet, even so, it did not hinder him from making a move.

Boom rumble!

In that moment, Gu Chen transformed into a human-shaped tyrant dragon, braving the formidable pressure, his black hair dancing as he forcefully charged towards Zi Lian.

Bam!

With one palm strike, Zi Lian, caught off guard, extended his arms to defend, but naturally was no match, being sent flying backward.

At the same time, Zi Lian grunted as a trace of fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Eh?!"

At this moment, Ning Yu Fei of the Heavenly Clan stared at Gu Chen with shock. He was well aware of how strong Zi Lian’s physique was.

Also, considering the extreme pressure present, which affected all cultivators here, Gu Chen’s single strike had sent Zi Lian flying and spitting blood. How strong must Gu Chen’s body be?

Zi Lian was also in shock. He had thought he could take some advantage here, but to his surprise, Gu Chen still overpowered him.

The details of the battle in which Gu Chen had slain the ancient and Ghostly Son, although astonishing to many, had not been widely circulated.

After all, aside from the Qingyun Palace, only those from the Palace of Youming had witnessed that scene.

Therefore, while Zi Lian knew Gu Chen was not weak, he didn’t expect him to be this powerful. Being of the Human Clan, Gu Chen was significantly stronger than the imperial clans known for their physical prowess.

Swoosh!

Even here, Gu Chen’s speed wasn’t slow. Bearing the immense pressure, he surged forward.

Since Zi Lian had dared to attack him, Gu Chen certainly wouldn’t pull any punches.

When Zi Lian saw how dominant Gu Chen was, his heart sank. He then exploded with a sky-full of purple light, channeling his overwhelming magical power from the late-stage Feathered Transformation realm in an attempt to suppress Gu Chen.

Bam!

But it was still to no avail. Gu Chen, like an unstoppable war god, with his fists shining like twin suns, forced Zi Lian to retreat repeatedly.

"Roar, I shall lend you a hand!" At that moment, a dark-skinned, muscular man appeared, his iron fists violently smashing towards Gu Chen.

"The fiend from the Demon Ape Clan!" A young cultivator watching from nearby identified the arrival with a flash in their eyes.

Although not an imperial clan, the Demon Ape Clan had been a long-standing ally of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan. This muscular man had been friends with Zi Lian even before the seal was placed.

This clan was also known for its physical prowess.

Gu Chen, with glowering brows and fearless eyes, signalled Long Yi and Dongba to keep their distance, ready to unleash carnage right here.

"Roar!"

The fiend from the Demon Ape Clan roared as he rapidly grew in size and instantly revealed his true form—a colossal black-haired ape.

The stark contrast in size between the two made for an impressive visual impact.

"Be careful, you are no match for him!" Zi Lian roared.

However, it was too late for warnings. Gu Chen’s expression was frigid, his gaze ruthless. His lean body bursting with fearsome power capable of shattering heaven and earth.

Without wielding any magical power, just with the divine radiance filled his punches, he was able to shatter any obstruction before him.

Pff!

The Demon Ape Clan might have been among the strongest races eons ago, but the fiend was no match for Gu Chen’s punch, which made him spit blood, leaving two clear fist marks on his chest.

"Ah..."

The Demon Ape howled, his body soaring sideways, blood mist erupting from within him as chilling noises erupted from all parts of his body while he was still mid-air.

Finally, with a loud bang, the massive body of this fiend from the Demon Ape Clan burst apart, scattering into a rain of blood across the sky.

With just one strike, an extremely powerful demon was felled, a scene that sent a chill down the spine of every cultivator present.

"How has his physique reached such a level? How can he wield such immense power here?" Everyone was baffled.

Zi Lian’s face grew even more sullen, his fists clenched tightly, his teeth gritting with intense fury as he glared at Gu Chen.

"Provoking me comes with a readiness to meet death!" declared Gu Chen, exuding overwhelming dominance.

He strode forward, the pressure of this place seemingly turning to nothing upon him, unable to hinder his steps in the slightest.

Zi Lian’s face twisted with an ugly expression and he felt suffocated, never expecting that it would not be Gu Chen, but himself, hamstrung by the pressure of this place.

"Ning Yu Fei, will you just stand by and watch?" he bellowed, hoping to inspire the Heavenly Clan’s prodigy to join him in suppressing Gu Chen,

"His strength is evident. If we leave this place and fight on equal terms, how many can subdue him? Now is our best chance to strike!" Zi Lian roared.

At this moment, Zi Lian, realizing his own inferiority, was actually rallying forces, aiming to use their numbers against Gu Chen.

But his words indeed caused many demons to stir, their hearts hanging on a precarious edge.

Because Zi Lian’s words were not without reason; Gu Chen’s might weighed heavily on everyone, and outside this trial, unchained in battle, who could contest him?

Regardless of all else, Gu Chen was the mightiest opponent for everyone.

At this point, no one cared about Gu Chen’s cultivation level; what mattered was his strength.

"The final battle shall be determined by strength. Eliminating a contender who may reach the end benefits us all!" Many pondered this thought secretly, a seed of this idea sprouting in their minds.

"My apologies, offense is taken!" And sure enough, several prodigious demons came forward, ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Zi Lian.

There was no choice; their grudges against Gu Chen were non-existent, but the path of cultivation was like a horde crossing a narrow bridge—only one could prevail, and everyone desired victory, which naturally incited conflict and struggle.

Such was the cruel nature of the cultivation world, where many disputes were not born of enmity but from the scarcity of resources. All needed to advance, so the fist became the ultimatum.

The current situation reflected this truth, with all driven by fear of Gu Chen’s prowess to join forces against him.

Ning Yu Fei of the Heavenly Clan stood aside, neither speaking nor making a stand.

But it couldn’t be denied that Zi Lian, a hidden prodigy of the imperial clan, displayed a capacity to lower his stature and willingly join forces with others to besiege Gu Chen.

"So much for the vaunted imperial clan!" Gu Chen retorted coldly, fearlessly.

Zi Lian remained silent, his face ominously dark, the purple of his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"To be king or vanquished, winning is all that matters. If you were strong enough, you could suppress us all right here!" a demon from an obscure contemporary order spoke up.

In short order, over a dozen paramount demons surrounded Gu Chen, hesitant to attack, clearly wary of taking the initiative.

"Master, we will assist you!" Long Yi and Dongba, seeing this, rushed to aid Gu Chen.

They understood that Gu Chen faced a burden unrivaled by any other.

"No need for that; I alone am sufficient," Gu Chen spoke up, signaling to Long Yi and Dongba not to intervene.

Then, his eyes shifted, sweeping over the horde of demons, he said, "Since you wish to strike at me, why hesitate?"

No one spoke; they all stared, fixated on Gu Chen.

With that, Gu Chen let out a cold laugh, "Since you dare not, then let me take the lead!"

As his voice fell, Gu Chen launched an attack; his robust vitality shook the world. Stepping forward like an arrow released from its bow, he charged into the crowd.

"Audacious!" Zi Lian bellowed, striking first, unleashing a massive palm strike radiating with purple light, like surging tides.

The rest, seeing this, were equally relentless, the paramount demons each displaying their techniques against Gu Chen.

Instantly, the area erupted—or rather, revolted—with thousands of light beams exploding like scores of volcanoes.

"Fools, today, I will suppress you all here!" Gu Chen’s black hair fell like a waterfall, his clothes billowing, his facial features sharply defined even under the onslaught of nearly twenty demons, entirely composed.

It was a supremely transcendent presence that made every cultivator’s heart quiver.

"To live between heaven and earth, a true man should be thus!" murmured a young cultivator, his eyes misting over as he watched Gu Chen, who stood like a war god.

Boom!

The next moment, immense blood energy burst forth, igniting a glow thousands of feet high, Gu Chen standing against monumental pressure, fully revealing the might of his nine transformations physical prowess before all eyes.

Suddenly, an unparalleled terror arose in every cultivator’s heart!

A vitality capable of collapsing heavens, shattering galaxies, seemed to be unleashed by a supreme being’s emergence!

Thud, thud, thud!

In just one encounter, all demons assailing Gu Chen were sent sprawling, blood spraying from their mouths, unable to withstand even a moment.

At this moment, Gu Chen was unstoppable!

He shone with myriad glimmers of light, like an undying deity, elevated above all, looking down upon the mortal plane.

Bam!

His foot came crashing down, squarely hitting Zi Lian’s chest, the sound of cracking reverberating as Gu Chen firmly crushed the so-called scion of a supreme celestial being to the ground.
