858 -600: Immortals Descending from Heaven_2

“To be able to withstand a magical weapon, it must be the effect of that ancient artifact from the Pure Yang Martial Sect,” Gu Yan’s gaze shifted as he looked towards Gu Chen’s left palm, knowing that the ancient artifact was lurking there.

Clearly, he has diligently collected various pieces of information about Gu Chen.

Although he was confident in himself, he would not underestimate his enemy.

“Now, things have become somewhat thorny,” Gu Yan muttered, pondering how to deal with Gu Chen.

At that moment, Gu Chen, who stood at the center of the battlefield, turned his eyes towards a certain direction and said, “Having watched for so long, have you not found the right opportunity to act yet?”

“Hmm?”

Huang Yun, hidden in the void, was taken aback when Gu Chen actually discovered him.

Obviously, this caught him by surprise, causing him to unconsciously furrow his brows.

However, the next moment, his figure materialized, appearing here.

“The Ninth Prince?!”

At the edge of the sky, Huang Yun, who was entangled with the golden dragon, also recognized Gu Yan’s identity and his expression instantly changed.

He was not a fool; he quickly guessed that this must be Gu Yan’s spirit body because with his noble status, it was clearly impossible for him to personally take risks to come to this lower realm.

“The Ninth Prince?” Gu Chen, hearing this, was also slightly surprised.

With his understanding of the upper realm, he instantly had some speculations in his mind.

Gu Yan stood not far away, looking at Gu Chen, and said, “Did you know from the very beginning that I was here?”

At that moment, Huang Yun spoke out, shouting, “Ninth Prince, I am willing to join forces with you to kill this fiend.

The Jiuding can be offered to you.

I only ask for a peaceful life!”

Seeing Gu Yan, Huang Yun quickly shouted out loud, realising that if someone were within the realm of Celestial Beings, they could not possibly be Gu Chen’s opponent, so he wanted to pull Gu Yan in as an ally.

Together, they would surely be able to deal with Gu Chen.

But to his surprise, Gu Yan did not pay attention to him and instead kept his gaze fixed on Gu Chen.

“I know that you are the chosen one of destiny from the Nine States, but the Jiuding is not something you can control because it will bring about your own death.

I’ll give you a chance.

You help me obtain the Jiuding, and I will take you to the upper realm; I can even let you join a sacred place.

How about that?” Gu Yan said.

He could tell that Gu Chen did not lack the desire to go to the upper realm; it was just that the time had not come.

He had not yet completely resolved the issue with the specters, so he rejected the invitation from the Wuji Dao Sect.

But now, the specters had been expelled, yet the Nine States were sealed off from heaven and earth, leaving no way to reach the upper realm.

Therefore, Gu Yan knew that Gu Chen would definitely not be content staying in the Nine States.

As a fellow genius, this Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty believed he grasped the deepest thoughts in Gu Chen’s heart.

“Without me, you wouldn’t be able to reach the upper realm, no matter how extraordinary you are,” Gu Yan stated.

Hearing Gu Yan had a way to return to the upper realm, Huang Yun’s eyelids twitched suddenly.

“I do not need it,” Gu Chen replied indifferently.

With a wave of his hand, the golden dragon that had been chasing Huang Yun turned its trajectory and launched an attack directly at Gu Yan.

This Ninth Prince’s lofty tone was not pleasing to Gu Chen.

Moreover, with his talent, if he were in the upper realm, would he still need help to join a sacred land?

Once Gu Chen’s talent was revealed, even the giants of the upper realm would personally vie for him, wanting him to be their heir.

Furthermore, if Gu Chen had such a desire, he could simply go to the Wuji Dao Sect or Cloud Heaven Palace, which was a part of the Vairocana Buddhist Sect.

Why would he need Gu Yan’s assistance?

One could say that this Ninth Prince’s offer was even less sincere than Huang Yun’s, so naturally, Gu Chen would not waste his words with him.

Seeing Gu Chen so resolute and decisive, Gu Yan’s face darkened.

Unlike Huang Yun, faced with the sun’s true fire coalescing into a colossal golden dragon, he snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and a cold gleam of light flashed.

It swelled in the wind, transforming into a sky-covering expanse of black flames that surged towards the golden dragon.

“Netherworld Fire?!”, Huang Yun exclaimed from afar, recognizing the technique used by the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

Netherworld Fire is an extremely powerful flame in the higher realms, on par with the sun’s true fire in fame, its might unparalleled.

However, it’s not renowned for its incomparable temperature.

On the contrary, this type of flame is said to originate from the nethermost lands.

Outwardly it takes the form of fire, but its essence is chilling to the bone, capable of instantly freezing a person’s soul stiff.

As expected, upon the collision of the two fires, the heavens trembled and the earth shook as if it were the clash of a needle tip against stalks of wheat, each dominating half of the sky.

One side resplendent, the other side somber, it was like the collision of light and darkness.

The whole world vibrated, almost as if it was splitting the entire nine provinces apart.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Gu Yan stepped forward, his afterimage flickering as if he had shrunk the ground beneath his feet, crossing a distance of several hundred yards in a single step, arriving close in front of Gu Chen.

He pointed a finger towards Gu Chen’s brow.

His finger, as if it was dipped in ink, was pitch black and radiated a vibration that made one’s soul tremble.

It was another of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty’s top-grade powerful techniques, named Heaven Yin Finger!

With this finger-pointing, if it hit, it could directly corrode the opponent’s soul, causing it to disperse on the spot.

Both being in the Celestial Man realm, Gu Yan’s strength was much stronger than that of Huang Yun, regardless of the fact that Huang Yun had once severed his cultivation.

This was the terrifying strength of an upper realm’s prodigy!

On Gu Yan, Gu Chen distinctly saw this point, and it made his expression slightly tense.

“If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a forfeit.” The indifferent voice of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty’s ninth prince was accompanied by a ruthless gaze that looked upon Gu Chen as though looking at a dead man.

Clearly, he believed that the sun’s true fire was Gu Chen’s most powerful technique.

After all, having detailed intelligence, he was familiar with Gu Chen’s strengths and knew of the many secret techniques Gu Chen had, but in the realm of Celestial Men, such secret techniques were already useless.

Lacking a powerful lineage, Gu Yan thought, was Gu Chen’s greatest disadvantage and the one area in which he couldn’t compare to him.

For a Celestial Man, the significance of surpassing the martial domain with their techniques was self-evident, and this was precisely what Gu Chen was most lacking, his greatest weakness.

In Gu Yan’s eyes, Gu Chen had only two options left: either to use the heaven-defying seed or to employ the mysterious ancient artifact of the Pure Yang Martial Sect.

But the next moment, Gu Chen smiled, his smile so brilliant.

For some reason, it evoked a sense of foreboding in Gu Yan.

Clang!

Suddenly, an incredibly clear and piercing sound of a sword cry echoed through the heavens at that moment.

The sound was grand and vast, as if it came from beyond this world, spreading throughout the entire nine provinces.

Accompanying the sound of the sword cry, myriads of sword lights emerged, and even the high-grade magical artifacts in Huang Yun’s hands shuddered uncontrollably, as if paying homage.

Suddenly, from beyond the horizon, a sword light appeared, bright and dazzling like a meteor or a rainbow piercing the sky—splendid beyond measure and blindingly brilliant, surpassing even the polar lights, beyond what words could describe.

For in front of such a sword, any description would pale in comparison.

At that moment, all that existed between the heavens and the earth was this swordstroke, seemingly like a flying immortal!

The sword light dazzled, shimmering across the nine heavens.

With this strike, the entirety of the nine provinces dimmed in an instant, as a resplendent light slashed through the darkness.

It was the divine technique—Celestial Beyond!
