what’s going on?!”

At this moment, Burning Heaven Valley’s Lang Tian and Mount Tianzhu’s Zhang Qing were trembling, looking at Gu Chen before them, they felt as if they were facing a titan from the Upper Realm!

There was not the slightest hint of aura being emitted, but, mysteriously, there was a sensation that oppressed them, making it hard for them to lift their heads.

Gu Chen’s figure loomed infinitely large before their eyes, filling the entire sky, looking down on them like a god or demon, immense and towering, making their bodies shudder uncontrollably.

It wasn’t just Lang Tian and Zhang Qing, even Ji Yuan and Wei Cang and Luo Xun were somewhat stunned.

In their eyes, Gu Chen was merely standing there, yet just one glance at him made Lang Tian and Zhang Qing tremble uncontrollably.

Wei Cang and Luo Xun exchanged looks, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.

They were not surprised that Gu Chen could reach the Heavenly Man realm, but why did he possess such formidable strength?

Just standing there, he could instill such fear in Lang Tian and Zhang Qing.

If he were to take action, how terrifying would it be?!

“You…

you’ve reached the Heavenly Man realm?!” Lang Tian’s complexion was panicked, his teeth chattering, he could barely speak clearly.

“The Heavenly Man realm…

can’t possibly be this powerful!” Mount Tianzhu’s Zhang Qing spoke out, his face a picture of panic, no better off than Lang Tian; the two were similarly petrified.

Gu Chen did not speak, just standing in place, silently watching them, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

But the more he was like this, the more bone-chilling fear Lang Tian and Zhang Qing felt, as if they were being targeted by some primordial beast, intense pangs of pain transmitting from every pore on their bodies.

Outside this world, Gu Chen had battled for a full two years, his killing aura was so dense it was beyond compare.

Now, the reputation of his slaughter truly lived up to his name.

If this aura were released, even if Lang Tian and Zhang Qing had reached the Heavenly Man realm, they would not be able to withstand it, perhaps they would go insane on the spot.

Even now, Lang Tian and Zhang Qing could see behind Gu Chen, who was like a god or demon, a scene resembling a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, indescribably horrifying and terrifying.

“We cannot contend against him, this child cannot be contended against!” Right now, the only thought in their minds was to escape!

All the grandiose statements from earlier were cast aside by Lang Tian and Zhang Qing as they scrambled to bypass Gu Chen and leave this place, to get as far away as possible.

“How can this be?!”

But just as they intended to flee, they found that their bodies seemed to have left their control, standing in place, unable to move an inch.

“What have you done to us?!” Lang Tian and Zhang Qing’s faces turned pale as they shouted at Gu Chen, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, they were truly terrified.

Regarding information about Gu Chen, whether in the Upper Realm or in the Nine States, they had a clear understanding.

Although two years had passed, they knew Gu Chen’s strength must have grown, but they had not expected it to reach this extent!

“Is he…

is he still in the realm of martial arts?” Lang Tian and Zhang Qing uttered pitifully, feeling that life and death were no longer in their hands.

Ji Yuan and others felt a sense of schadenfreude watching Lang Tian and Zhang Qing’s wretched state; these two were no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning.

Similarly, those familiar with Gu Chen, like Ji Yuan and others, couldn’t help but feel intense curiosity, wondering just how far Gu Chen had gone.

Gu Chen gazed at Lang Tian and Zhang Qing for two seconds, and just as he was about to make his move, Lang Tian suddenly burst out shouting, “Gu Chen, you can’t kill us, if you kill us, you yourself will surely die without a doubt!”

“We truly mean no harm in coming here, we can cooperate, we don’t need the Nine Cauldrons or the Heavenly Seeds, we’ll give them all to you, we’re willing to assist you and tell you everything we know about the Upper Realm!” Zhang Qing also hurriedly shouted, revealing some secrets, hoping Gu Chen would spare them.

“There’s no chance now.” Gu Chen’s expression was unchanging, and as his voice fell, his pupils transformed into two dark whirlpools.

The voices of Lang Tian and Zhang Qing instantly ceased, freezing them on the spot.

“From now on, your mission is to guard the Nine States,” Gu Chen declared, giving an order to the two who had become like puppets.

“Yes,” Lang Tian and Zhang Qing, expressionless, nodded their heads.

“This?!”

Witnessing such a horrifying scene, where two Heavenly Man realm powerhouses from the Upper Realm turned into this state in an instant, Ji Yuan and others felt a chill in their hearts.

Fortunately, the one wielding such a technique was Gu Chen, not someone else.

“Your Majesty, after I leave, they will listen to you, as well as the Tower Supervisor, Commander Wei, and Lord Luo, to guard the Nine States,” Gu Chen said.

“Alright,” Ji Yuan and the others nodded, exhaling a breath of relief and relaxing their tense bodies.

“There are a few others I should go and take care of as well,” Gu Chen remarked, his figure flashing, vanishing directly from the palace.

…

Yangzhou.

A young man with exceptionally handsome features was sitting cross-legged here, none other than the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, who had descended to the lower realm more than two years ago.

“I’ve finally restored myself to my prime.” At this moment, Gu Yan opened his eyes.

After some time recovering, the spirit body he brought to the lower realm had reached the peak it could achieve in the Nine States!

Although it couldn’t rival his true body in the same realm, the difference wasn’t too big either.

At the very least, in the entire Nine States, Lang Tian and Zhang Qing, they would not be a match for Gu Yan.

“The heavens and earth here are rapidly recovering, the Extinction Heavenly Pass has been formed, and the upper and lower realms have been completely severed,” the ninth prince Gu Yan’s gaze was profound as he looked at the sky.

Fortunately, in his memory, there was still a passage that led to the Upper Realm!

Unlike Lang Tian and Zhang Qing, he did not want to stay in this lower realm.

His spirit body could be abandoned, but the Heavenly Seeds and Nine Cauldrons could not; they had to be taken to the Upper Realm.

“Gu Chen, is all this your doing?” Gu Yan frowned, uncertain whether the disappearance of the fiends was related to Gu Chen.

“But even if all this really is your doing, you’ll still have to bow down before me!” The ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty had a cold look in his eyes, brimming with confidence in himself!

After all, he was not the same as Lang Tian and Zhang Qing; he was the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

It wasn’t just about his true body; even this spirit body was far from comparable to them.

Gu Chen was extraordinary, but Gu Yan firmly believed he would be stronger than anyone else!

If he lacked even this conviction, he didn’t deserve to be one of the Nine Princes of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, let alone compete for the position of Crown Prince.

“Perhaps, it’s time for me to make my debut and settle everything!” the Ninth Prince, Gu Yan, said so.

…

On the other side, after leaving Tiandu, Gu Chen vanished step by step, as if shuttling through space, much faster than Lang Tian and Zhang Qing.

At this moment, Qi Jin and others from the Pure Yang Martial Sect, who had come from the upper realm, were still in Jiangzhou, not having left, waiting for news from Lang Tian and Zhang Qing.

Suddenly, a heart-palpitating sensation came over him, making Qi Jin frown, a bad premonition growing in his heart.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Qi Jin’s odd reaction, the others looked at him in succession.

“I had a sudden feeling, I don’t know why, but I feel a bit uneasy,” Qi Jin said.

“How can this be?” someone asked, their expression puzzled; in this lower realm, they should be invincible.

“Could something have happened to Lang Tian and Zhang Qing?” Qi Jin murmured, sensing the heavens and earth, he found the aura of the two headed towards Tiandu was indeed blurred.

“Something’s not right!”

The next moment, he suddenly stood up, his face changing dramatically as the bad premonition in his heart became increasingly strong.

Bang!

The next instant, the door of the room they were staying in was broken open, and a bloodied figure tumbled in.

“Zhou Yuan?!”

Qi Jin and the others focused their eyes, the current Tower Supervisor of Diancang Pavilion, Thousand-Hand King Zhou Yuan, was covered in blood, his appearance utterly wretched, and he was at his last gasp.

Following Zhou Yuan, a slender figure in dark robes walked in; it was Gu Chen.

In a very short time, he had first located the Tower Supervisor of Diancang Pavilion, Zhou Yuan, captured him, and then appeared in front of Qi Jin and others.

“Gu Chen?!” Qi Jin and the others cried out in surprise; clearly, they recognized Gu Chen.

“Where are Lang Tian and Zhang Qing, where did the two of them go?!” At this moment, Qi Jin furrowed his brows and asked sternly.

Seeing Gu Chen, that ominous premonition in his heart became increasingly intense, along with bursts of palpitations.

“Still missing one?” At this time, instead of answering Qi Jin’s question, Gu Chen’s eyes shifted, realizing that the burly man who had lost an arm, Wei Cang, was not here.

“I’m talking to you, where are Lang Tian and Zhang Qing!” Qi Jin bellowed, the remaining five people quickly gathering together.

Five Celestial Being realm warriors from the upper realm, when their auras united, their faces solemn, gathered the great momentum of heaven and earth, ready to pressure Gu Chen.

But Gu Chen remained calm, or one could even say carefree, without the slightest concern.

As if, what stood before him now were not five Celestial Being realm martial arts peaks, but five mere ants.

“Attack!”

At this moment, Qi Jin of the Pure Yang Martial Sect shouted; feeling increasingly uneasy, this feeling peaked, and he roared for the five to attack together.

“Hmm?!”

But in the next instant, something horrifying happened—the five Celestial Being realm martial peaks were all rooted on the spot, unable to move!

“What?”

“How is this possible?!”

“What’s going on here?!”

For a moment, Qi Jin and the others were greatly shaken, staring at Gu Chen with faces full of terror.

“You…

you…” They stammered, their voices trembling, unable to utter another word.

The five Celestial Being realms united, but in front of Gu Chen, they couldn’t even budge!

What terrifying strength was this?!

Qi Jin and others turned pale, thrown into extreme panic; they couldn’t imagine why Gu Chen had suddenly acquired such formidable strength.

It was completely beyond their expectations!

Let alone them, even the five great leaders of the upper realm couldn’t have imagined—after a mere two years, Gu Chen had grown so powerful in the nine provinces of the lower realm!

“Could it be, the restoration of the nine provinces’ heavenly rules, has something to do with this young man?!” Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged in Qi Jin’s mind, startling himself.

However, at this point, they knew they were defeated, never imagining a true dragon could truly arise in the lower realm; even with the aid of heavenly seeds, it made no sense to reach this level in such a short time.

In the same Celestial Being realm, but the gap between them and Gu Chen was unimaginably huge, leaving them without the slightest chance to resist.

“What happened in these two years, how did he become so strong?!” Qi Jin and the others looked at Gu Chen; such strength, if he were to go to the upper realm, would their holy lands’ holy sons really match him?

At this moment, Gu Chen, without revealing any aura, appeared to Qi Jin and the others like an emperor, exuding an unparalleled presence, as if he commanded the world!
