Chapter 1558: Chapter 390: Breakthrough, Asking the Realm (Three More 10,000 Words, Ask for Subscription!)

The experiences on the Island of Origin, as well as the news of Gu Chen’s battle with the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor in the outer domain, spread throughout the entire Upper Realm’s 3,600 domains at an extremely fast speed!

From that day on, Gu Chen officially ranked at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm, becoming yet another uncrowned king, on par with the various sages of the Inquiry Realm.

Instantly, the entire Upper Realm’s 3,600 domains were in uproar, triggering a wildly chaotic storm and causing one earthquake after another!

Meanwhile, not long after this news spread, the Sacred Gate also convened an emergency council.

It still took place at the headquarters of the Sacred Gate, within the Cave Heavens, in the palace inside the Black Magic Mountain.

Nine Lords gathered, and this time, the atmosphere among them was somewhat solemn.

“Gu Chen, this young man, has fully grown up, with the origin of the myriad realms within him, if this continues, it won’t be long before he can become the Supreme of All Heavens!”

One Lord spoke up, in the past, no one would believe that a young being under fifty years old could reach this stage.

If anyone were to utter such words, even the unmatched characters of the Inquiry Realm would be met with ridicule, thinking it madness.

But now, when these words were spoken, not a single Lord spoke out to deny it.

Clearly, at this point, the terrifying aspects of Gu Chen had deeply penetrated people’s hearts.

“We must not let this young man grow further!”

“But now he is already capable of contending with the Inquiry Realm, it’s too late!”

One after another, the Lords spoke up, one could imagine their brows furrowing under their masks.

At that moment, a Lord looked towards a certain place and said: “Kill Feather Lord, Yang Lord, who really are your true selves?”

Obviously, with such a big commotion in the Upper Realm earlier, the Sacred Gate could not have been unaware.

Kill Feather Lord and Yang Lord both wore masks, their aura hazy, making them unperceivable.

But basically, the other seven Lords present could ascertain, without accidents, that these two were the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor Jin Zhu, and the Fire Sect’s leader Ganli.

At this time, Gu Tianming spoke up, saying: “Now that the origin of the myriad realms has emerged, the situation has become very tense, if that young Gu Chen breaks through to become the Supreme of All Heavens, we will be in danger!”

Regarding the demise of Gu Cang and Gu Mo, Gu Tianming was obviously full of hatred, but he knew that it was now difficult to take action lightly, as the scrutinizing eyes of the Inquiry Realm beings of the Upper Realm were definitely on Gu Chen.

The cold stares of the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor and the Fire Sect’s leader were fixed on Gu Tianming; in their view, if not for him, their identities would not have been exposed.

At that moment, Gu Tianming said something that surprised all the Lords of the Sacred Gate.

“I think, at this point, there’s no need to hide our identities anymore. If we cannot even assist each other, then the Sacred Gate is really not far from annihilation.”

Gu Tianming spoke and was the first to take off his mask, revealing the true face that had been hidden all along.

Seeing his daring, the other eight Lords of the Sacred Gate were also somewhat surprised.

At that moment, the Blood Kill Lord also said: “Lord Ming is right, now that the eighteen Holy Envoys and thirty-six Elders have almost all fallen, the strength of our Sacred Gate can be said to have weakened to a certain extreme. If we cannot unite as one, I’m afraid the righteous figures of the Upper Realm will break us one by one.”

Saying that, he also directly dropped the blood-colored mask covering his face, revealing his true appearance.

“What, Blood Kill Lord, you…” When the other eight Lords saw the true face of the Blood Kill Lord, they were instantly stunned.

“Hahaha, if that young Gu Chen finds out the truth, wouldn’t he collapse on the spot?” Afterwards, bursts of cold laughter echoed in the black hall.

Clearly, to the Blood Kill Lord’s true identity, they were all extremely surprised.

Soon after, under the eye signals of the Blood Kill Lord and Lord Ming, one Lord after another took off their masks, revealing their true faces.

“Jin Zhu, Ganli, indeed it is you,” Gu Tianming said.

“Why was it exposed, if not because of you!” the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor and the Fire Sect’s leader glanced at him.

Now that the identities of the nine Lords were successively revealed, especially with the identity of the Blood Kill Lord, it made them both feel better.

“The current pressing matter is to help Jin Zhu and Ganli get through this difficult time, does anyone have any ideas?”

“Blood Kill, can you help?” The Lords looked towards the Blood Kill Lord.

The Blood Kill Lord shook his head and said: “My identity is not suitable to be exposed right now, and, I also don’t have any good methods. As for you two, Jin Zhu and Ganli, if there’s no other way, just keep a low profile for a while.”

The Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor and the Fire Sect’s leader frowned and gritted their teeth: “It’s all that bastard’s fault!”

“Is there any way to pull Zhan Tian and the other two into our camp?” Gu Tianming asked.

“Let’s give it a try.” The Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor and the Fire Sect’s leader reluctantly nodded their heads with grim faces.

Then, the Lords looked towards the Blood Kill Lord, asking: “When will the Holy Lord leave seclusion?”

This question was also of great concern to them, after all, it was related to their future.

The Blood Kill Lord said: “It should be soon, currently there’s no news from the Holy Lord, it must be a critical moment.”

“Hopefully, the Holy Lord can be a step ahead of that young man,” Gu Tianming frowned.

“Don’t worry, that young man, even though his talent is extreme and assisted by the origin of the myriad realms, it’s not so easy for him to breakthrough to become the Supreme of All Heavens,” the Blood Kill Lord said lightly.

Hearing this, the other eight Lords also nodded one after another.

“Moreover, I propose a plan that will lead them right into it…” Afterwards, the nine candid Lords began discussing and planning together.

Now that their identities were clear and there was mutual trust, many things were quite easy to come to a consensus on.

And Gu Chen, had become the number one enemy of the Sacred Gate at present, without a peer, much more significant than any Inquiry Realm being!

…

After returning to the Upper Realm, Gu Chen met with Tianyuan Taoist and helped them solve some challenges in their cultivation.

After that, he greeted the head of Taoxu Road and the Dean of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, and began searching for suitable living beings to strike in the restricted zones.

After all, he wanted to break through to the Ascendant Realm, which required his second Infinite Divine Ability to reach the sixth grade, a task that even for Gu Chen, was extremely difficult.

If he were to rely on his own understanding, who knows how long it would take, so his only choice was to go to the spiritual forbidden zones to obtain massive amounts of Divine Power value for the breakthrough.

Following the advice of the Taoxu Road’s master, Gu Chen did not choose those spiritual forbidden zones where beings of the Ascendant Realm existed.

It was not that he was unable to defeat them, but because the king-level fiends of the Ascendant Realm were too difficult to kill. With his current state, refining them would likely require a tremendous effort.

In that case, it would be a loss rather than gain, it would be easier to kill Primordial Realm demons.

This way, after spending some time, Gu Chen had pacified three spiritual forbidden zones and spent the energy to refine several Primordial Realm demons.

Each of these demons contributed nearly ten thousand points of Divine Power value to him.

“Still not enough?!” Gu Chen sighed, not expecting that even after wiping out three spiritual forbidden zones, he still couldn’t elevate one Infinite Divine Ability to the sixth grade.

With no other choice, as there were signs of upheaval in the spiritual forbidden zones at the moment, Gu Chen did not hesitate to initiate a merciless suppression!

Thus, he continuously pacified multiple spiritual forbidden zones, saving countless lives from danger.

For a time, his actions were widely known and discussed by the upper realms.

“What, Lord Gu single-handedly tackled eight spiritual forbidden zones and pacified them all?!”

“Is that true? That’s too fierce!”

“This is indeed a truly peerless figure!”

From the strongest in the Primordial Realm to the ordinary people, everyone sparked a discussion because of Gu Chen, and everyone sincerely admired him.

“That was the twelfth spiritual forbidden zone pacified by Lord Gu!”

“With the spiritual forbidden zones uprising, I truly didn’t think I’d have a chance to live!”

“I swear, if I ever get a chance, even if I have to become a beast of burden, I will repay Lord Gu!”

For a time, countless people were reborn because of Gu Chen, and now the entire upper realm was discussing his deeds.

Subtly, Gu Chen even had the potential to become the foremost person in the upper realms!

When the unparalleled individuals of the Ascendant Realm heard this, some were relieved, some sighed, while others frowned, and some showed disdain.

The reactions were truly varied.

That day, Gu Chen halted his conquests because he felt that it was time for a breakthrough.

Up to this point, he felt that he had accumulated enough.

Therefore, finding a desolate place, Gu Chen disappeared, directly breaking through the realm barrier, and went outside the domain to seek a deserted star sea.

Boom!

At that moment, Gu Chen completely unleashed his aura, energy penetrating the galaxy, the entire star field trembling, the stars shivering, as mere traces of his aura seemed almost too much to bear and were about to shatter.

The panel materialized, and with a thought from Gu Chen, an Infinite Divine Ability promptly broke through to the sixth grade.

Boom!

Heaven shook and earth trembled, and endless booms resonated through the boundless universe, with the principles manifesting and resonating across all realms, enveloping like the wings descending from the sky.

“Ascendant Realm, break for me!” Gu Chen’s entire body shone with endless divine light and boundless fairy light, engulfing him.

The breakthrough officially began!

Endless light enveloped him, with celestial rain of lights filling the sky, various phenomena appearing, truly a myriad of spectacular sights.

The heavens and myriad realms subtly resonated, the area thundering with lightning, the great Dao manifesting, appearing to merge completely into Gu Chen’s body.

Such a scene was extremely astonishing, like an unrivaled, universally respected heavenly emperor was about to emerge, unparalleled through the ages!

At this very moment, during the breakthrough, Gu Chen suddenly felt a throbbing from deep within his soul, giving him an indescribable sensation.

Meanwhile, the panel in front of him twisted, then amazingly dissipated like ripples in water, causing his heart to tremble, such a strange sight, which had never occurred in all these years!

In an instant, Gu Chen felt his senses immensely heightened, continuously rising, an incredibly magical feeling that’s truly hard to describe with words.

“What’s happening?” he was greatly shocked.

Finally, his soul vibrated suddenly, and at that moment, Gu Chen felt as though he had control of everything, omnipotent and omnipresent.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the Dao of Heaven, sensing the operations of the universe, seeing all the heavens and myriad realms as clearly as if they were patterns on his palm.

Countless paths were lying prostrate beneath his feet, the origin of the great Dao was himself!

At the same time, at this moment, all the heavens and myriad realms trembled, as if a supreme overlord, or perhaps a heavenly emperor, was truly born.

This fluctuation was boundless, instantly spreading through the entire universe, the grand cosmos sensed it, manifesting all sorts of phenomena with dazzling divine glows and swirling fairy lights, real dragons, divine phoenixes, and various mythical beings all appeared.

The Pathways were subdued, supremely dominant above all, at this moment, even beings of the Ascendant Realm felt their hearts tremble, almost wanting to kneel down!

“What happened, what’s going on?”

“Why is it like this, why must it be like this?”

Beings of the Ascendant Realm were all panicked, not to mention other cultivators.

Heavenly blessings descended, and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground. Divine lights crossing the sky, even ordinary people recognized the extraordinariness.

“What exactly happened, why are these phenomena occurring, could it be… that a supreme figure among the heavens is being born?!”

With this thought, across all 3600 realms of the upper world, regardless of who it was, from unparalleled individuals of the Ascendant Realm, including the nine esteemed ones of the Holy Gates, down to ordinary citizens, at this moment, a tidal wave rolled through their hearts, sweeping across the heavenly universe!
