Chapter 1401: Chapter 304: Supernatural Ability - Seal the Sky and Cut off the Earth

Boom!

When Gu Chen’s robust body collided with Zi Lian’s sturdy form and the ground, a huge tremor occurred.

"Pfft!"

Zi Lian spurted blood, his complexion visibly paling in an instant.

Not only him, but those monsters who chose to make a move against Gu Chen were also sent flying in all directions like straw men.

This formidable strength terrified every onlooker.

"So strong!" Many monsters were inwardly shocked.

Long Yi and Dongba, seeing that Gu Chen could still slaughter wildly here, also immediately put their minds at ease.

"Ah..."

At this moment, Zi Lian roared angrily, his overwhelming purple light surging. He transformed into his true form, his body shimmering with a translucent purple-gold gleam, his aura fluctuating mightily.

The Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan was a supremely powerful race from the endless ages past, rumored to have ancestors whose roars could cause stars beyond realms to fall in droves, having once ruled the boundless heavens and leaving behind legend after legend and many a marvelous tale.

But today, as a high-ranking descendant of the almighty heavens, Zi Lian faced unprecedented disgrace, easily subdued by Gu Chen, stepped upon beneath his feet, a humiliation his heart could not accept, nearly driving him berserk.

At this moment, his blood boiled completely, erupting with purple-gold radiance. He manifested his true form, howled towards the sky as if his roar could shake down the stars from beyond realms!

Boom!

The terrifying sound waves turned into shockwaves, which was the Hou Clan’s most powerful and primitive divine ability, the foundation of their survival.

"I am of imperial lineage, destined to be unbeaten in a hundred battles, crushing all foes!" Zi Lian bellowed, bracing against the immense pressure this world placed upon him, using his divine powers to try to vanquish Gu Chen.

"Only your blood can wash away my disgrace today. I will make you realize that those of imperial lineage are exalted above all, never to be dishonored!" Two massive beams of purple light shot from Zi Lian’s eyes, fiercely splitting the heaven and earth in front of everyone into two.

It must be said that after revealing his true form, Zi Lian’s strength increased significantly. Although the suppression of this world persisted, limiting his performance, he remained extraordinarily formidable.

The might of a single roar, if outside, could shatter entire mountains and rivers and bring fierce hurricanes; Gu Chen threw a fierce punch, with golden imperial dragon qi spreading forward.

As a prince revered by the Ten Thousand Tribes, his aura was domineering and peerless. In an instant, Gu Chen threw ninety-nine consecutive punches.

Boom!

The terrifying force of the punches combined, and amidst the earth-shattering dragon roars, those cultivators who tried to approach and besiege Gu Chen after spitting blood were once more sent flying by the aftershock, like torn bags.

It must be said, they were truly pitiful; some, gravely injured and still mid-air, were crushed into mush by the immense pressure of this place, unable to resist.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers grew even more fearful.

"Heaven’s Judgment—Preliminary Form!"

At this time, a voice whispered like a celestial decree, resounding silently all of a sudden—it was the celestial monstrosity Ning Yu Fei making his move!

He planned to take advantage of Gu Chen’s unpreparedness, and with this move, directly crush him!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sound of chains extending reverberated, the heavens and earth shook, the light of laws dense, accompanied by brilliant rosy light. Heaven’s Judgment—the Preliminary Form, an extraordinary divine ability of the celestial race, thrust towards Gu Chen.

"Hmm?!"

At this moment, even as Gu Chen was contending with Zi Lian, he suddenly turned his head and saw a chain of law attacking. In a critical moment, he raised his palm like a blade, fiercely chopping down.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing echoed, while the void sparked with countless sparks, Gu Chen relied on his flesh to sever the divine chain of law on the spot!

Seeing this, Ning Yu Fei’s pupils quivered. How strong must one’s body be to achieve this?

"Could it be his physique has reached the Nine Revolutions Perfection? But how is that possible!" Ning Yu Fei’s expression was extremely grave.

At the same time, the cold light in Gu Chen’s eyes also gave rise to an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

"This is no place to linger!"

Ning Yu Fei thought to himself, his fleshly body not his forte. Fighting here, he faced great limitations, so in an instant, he used one of the celestial race’s divine movement abilities and immediately fled far away.

"He sure is quick on his feet."

Gu Chen frowned slightly—if not for the strong suppression here, how could he be entangled with Zi Lian for so long? He would have already slain him outright.

"Roar!"

At that moment, Zi Lian went berserk, again using the Hou Clan’s primordial divine ability. As his voice spread, everyone went deaf, their bodies trembling as if struck by lightning, losing consciousness for a moment.

It was said that each time the Hou Clan wielded this primordial divine ability, its power would become even stronger, with the ability to stack up.

This was truly terrifying!

Just this move alone was enough to place the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan among the ranks of the strongest races under the heavens.

However, Gu Chen’s accumulation was simply too profound. Though Zi Lian was not weak, it always depended on who the opponent was.

Thump!

At this time, Gu Chen harnessed all of his power and mana, with his acupoints faintly glowing, executing a strike that dominated both heaven and earth.

Spurt!

A fist light, blazing like the sun, traced across the sky, and without any surprise, Gu Chen’s punch directly penetrated Zi Lian’s body.

"Ugh..."

Zi Lian’s eyes widened, a blood hole formed between his brows, from which his glossy purple blood slowly trickled, dripping onto the ground.

The strongest monstrosity of the imperial Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, an ancient child of the highest heavens from endless ages past, had today, utterly perished!

Even Zi Lian himself couldn’t have imagined that his end would be like this, to meet such a fate.

"That’s not a small amount of merit points." After slaying a group of foreign races’ demons, Gu Chen pulled up the panel and glanced at it, finding that he had harvested a significant amount of merit points.

This made him quite satisfied, and it didn’t feel like the battle had been in vain.

"Heavenly Tribe..."

Then, Gu Chen’s gaze became deep and profound as he stared into the distance, vowing that if he saw Ning Yu Fei again, things wouldn’t end so amicably.

Afterward, Gu Chen continued forward with Long Yi and Dongba, as well as Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, the group of four.

The road behind them became unobstructed, and as they proceeded, the companions accompanying them became fewer and fewer.

"Big brother, don’t worry about us anymore." At this point, Gu Qingyan spoke up, signaling to Gu Chen that there was no need to slow down on their account.

"Yes, Young Master, don’t delay your search for opportunities because of us," Long Yi added.

Hearing this, Gu Chen pondered for a while, glanced at Dongba and Princess Xidie, and then nodded.

"Be extra careful on your own," Gu Chen advised.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he sped up and soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Without Long Yi and the others, Gu Chen’s speed increased significantly.

Facing unprecedentedly strong pressure, he swiftly covered another thousand li or so.

After Gu Chen had traveled three thousand three hundred li on the bluestone path, he felt that the rules around him had changed.

Buzz!

Invisible fluctuations spread, and this time, not only his physical body but also his cultivation was suppressed, or more precisely, sealed.

"It is estimated that not even half of the cultivators who reach this far survive," Gu Chen mused softly, noting the high elimination rate here.

He continued on, but under the dual influence of his physical and cultivation suppression, even Gu Chen’s speed inevitably slowed down.

It took many hours before he was able to cover another three thousand three hundred li.

"Hm? My spirit..."

Gu Chen was startled as he discovered that the rules of this world had changed again, and this time, even the soul, or consciousness, was sealed.

It could be said that Gu Chen at this point was no different from an ordinary person, albeit with a stronger physique; none of his divine abilities could be displayed.

"Such an ability is truly unimaginable; is it the power of a divine ability?" Gu Chen murmured, his eyes flickering with the intention to use his Heavenly Eye to inspect, but due to the sealing of spirit, energy, and soul, he was completely unable to use it and fell short despite his eagerness.

"If this is indeed a divine ability, mastering it would mean that even the most powerful beings would not be able to withstand it when spirit, energy, and soul are all sealed," Gu Chen thought silently.

Of course, while contemplating within his mind, Gu Chen also moved forward, but now nearly reduced to the level of an ordinary person, his pace was, not surprisingly, even slower.

However, the Golden Dao Palace, radiating endless light, was getting closer and closer.

"The final three thousand three hundred li," Gu Chen whispered. Having reached this point, he had naturally discerned some of the patterns in the bluestone path.

After nearly a day and a night, Gu Chen finally arrived at the end.

"Once I cross this mountain, I can reach the edge of the sky—the location of the Golden Dao Palace," Gu Chen said as he looked at the towering mountain before him.

He had a premonition that if he took no more than ten more steps, the internal seal would be lifted, and his strength would return.

However, unexpectedly, Gu Chen didn’t choose to leave immediately but instead sat down cross-legged at the end of the bluestone path.

He closed his eyes to thoroughly comprehend the laws of the realm, trying to grasp some understanding.

In the sealed consciousness, his nine feet nine inches tall spirit, holding a piece of broken jade, began to stir slightly.

Seemingly sensing Gu Chen’s current condition, it vibrated gently, and subtly, an indescribable wave spread out.

Outside, Gu Chen was shaken, and deep down, he seemed to have grasped something.

He contemplated his own situation, the natural so-called law imprints within his body, and then cross-referenced them with the rules of the external world. In an instant, a flash of inspiration and enlightenment surfaced in his mind.

"I understand..." Gu Chen whispered. After his extensive practice so far, he had learned countless techniques, with several divine abilities reaching the third rank, and his comprehension of the heavens and the laws was incredibly profound.

With the insight pouring from half the piece of broken jade and after careful contemplation, Gu Chen truly had a breakthrough, comprehending the traces of the realm’s laws here.

"Seal the Sky and Cut off the Earth, this indeed is a divine ability!" Gu Chen’s eyes flew open, his expression becoming incredibly fervent.

Buzz!

Invisible fluctuations spread, and subtly, after understanding the traces of the laws here, the suppression on Gu Chen weakened considerably.

At this moment, Gu Chen extended his finger, with two runes flickering at his fingertip.

These two runes, one read "Seal" and the other "Absolute."

These represented the two applications of this divine ability.

The "Seal" could naturally be used to seal the enemy’s cultivation and spirit.

The character "Absolute," on the other hand, symbolized annihilation, referring to taking life!

To seal the enemy’s spirit, energy, and soul, and annihilate the life force within them—this was the real power of Seal the Sky and Cut off the Earth.

Even, when this divine ability was practiced to a certain level, it could turn a whole region into dead silence, where even the connection between heaven and earth could be artificially cut off!

This was, without a doubt, an extremely powerful and dangerous divine ability!

"The source realm of the Holy World is full of opportunities indeed."

At this time, Gu Chen pulled up the panel and glanced at it, spotting Seal the Sky and Cut off the Earth listed under the divine abilities section.

"This divine ability, though only ninth rank, cannot be compared to any other like Nine Dragons Annihilation or Heavenly Immortal out of the Sky, and even surpasses the five divine abilities of the Azure Cloud Sky’s Lord, extraordinary beyond comparison," Gu Chen mused to himself.

Fortunately, comprehending this divine ability was remarkably straightforward, and he did not spend too much time. He rose to his feet and, after leaving the bluestone path, the internal seals indeed dissipated immediately.

Then, he crossed the high mountain and finally reached the edge of the sky—the front of the Golden Dao Palace!
