After leaving Mirror Lake Mountain, Gu Chen found a deserted place and took out the mid-grade divine weapon belonging to Chen Luo from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.@@@@

Hum!

The sword hummed gently, the mid-grade divine weapon trembling incessantly, trying to fly away from Gu Chen's palm. At that moment, Gu Chen extended his left hand, grasped the blade, and instantly, the long sword, which had reached the mid-grade divine weapon status, ceased its trembling.

To the naked eye, a layer of grey haze appeared on the blade of the mid-grade divine weapon while in the deepest part of Gu Chen's left palm, the dark and profound gauntlet vibrated slightly as it absorbed the power of the mid-grade divine weapon.

After a short while, a breeze passed by, and starting from the tip of the sword, the mid-grade divine weapon gradually disintegrated into dust and dispersed into the world with the wind.

"What exactly is your origin?"

Looking at his left palm, Gu Chen saw that even a mid-grade divine weapon had no resistance before it and was instantly reduced to dust. The gauntlet in his palm was definitely not just an ordinary top-grade divine weapon.

After returning to the Jing Tian Department, Gu Chen had checked the records, and none of the documented top-grade divine weapons had this kind of sinister ability.

Absorbing divine weapons, absorbing the essence blood of martial artists, and even their souls, was all proof that the gauntlet Gu Chen possessed was a fierce weapon.

"It's just a pity that I only got a mid-grade divine weapon," Gu Chen lamented.

Following the absorption of a mid-grade divine weapon, Gu Chen could feel the power contained within the gauntlet growing stronger.

This was also a good thing for Gu Chen.

The inheritors of the six great holy lands lived up to their names, and this was true for both Chen Luo and Jin Yan.

Especially Jin Yan, who could fight Gu Chen to a draw, which in Gu Chen's view, was already extremely extraordinary.

However, if Jin Yan were to learn of his thoughts, he might end up like Chen Luo, infuriated to the point of spitting blood.

At this moment, billows of black fog spread over, enveloping the area around Gu Chen for dozens of yards.

Yet, Gu Chen remained calm, as if he had anticipated this, or rather, he had deliberately sought out an isolated place with certain thoughts in mind.

"Great, I can finally earn some merit points again," Gu Chen said as he looked at the surrounding black fog, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

Within the black fog, one pair of cold eyes after another emerged, staring at Gu Chen—spirits and ghouls one after another.

Meanwhile, within the black fog, three figures emerged, the same three middle-aged martial artists they had seen at the summit of Mirror Lake Mountain.

Gu Chen said, "As expected, Lin Bai, who has recently gained fame in the East Province martial world, is the young master of the Six Union God Sect."

Gu Chen also hadn't expected that the task given to him by Qin Wu would be half completed by him so easily.

As for the other half, of course, it was to kill the young master of the Six Union God Sect.

"Lin Bai sure is bold, making a name for himself so recklessly in the East Province's martial world. Is he not afraid of the whole world uncovering his true identity and hunting him down?" Gu Chen said coldly.

"The one who is truly bold is you, knowing full well that we come from the god sect, yet daring to appear so openly before us, you're really courting death,"

"If I were you, I'd hide well. Do you really think you can dominate the world just because you've become a martial arts grandmaster?"

"The current situation in the nine provinces is not the same as before. Even martial arts grandmasters are nothing in front of our god sect!"

The three middle-aged martial artists from the evil sect, full of confidence, were like judges from hell, sentencing Gu Chen to death with just a few words.

Gu Chen paid no attention and instead asked, "Where is Lin Bai?"

One of the middle-aged martial artists sneered, "Want to know the whereabouts of our young master? What, do you really think you can cause trouble for our young master?"

"Hmm, I've heard you too were born with a martial body and have even cultivated an indestructible vajra body. It would make our young master very happy to seize your source essence blood for him," he said.

His gaze shifted to the boundless void nearby and said, "You've been hiding for so long, aren't you coming out yet?"

Whoosh!

The void fluctuated, and a figure emerged silently, shrouded in a profound and unfathomable aura—a martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Stage.

"Let me guess, Xu Qing sent you, didn't she?" Even facing the Innate Stage grandmaster, Gu Chen remained composed, deducing his origin.

The martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Stage slightly frowned, turning his gaze towards Gu Chen's left palm, and said, "You have a secret."

Upon saying this, his thoughts couldn't help but race, as the ability to allow a Transformative Stage martial arts master to match the peak of the Hundred Orifices Stage in an instant must be a considerable opportunity.

Undoubtedly, it would be greatly useful even to him, a grandmaster of the Innate Stage.

With this thought, a fiery desire inevitably rose within him.

"There shouldn't be many Innates in the Arsenal. If you were to die, Xu Qing would definitely be punished," Gu Chen said slowly, his demeanor entirely unflustered.

"Bluffing!"

The Innate Stage grandmaster from the Arsenal snorted disdainfully, "Hand over your treasures and you may be spared."

Gu Chen slightly shook his head, "Let's skip these pointless words; it's better to reveal the truth through a battle."

The grandmaster's pupils contracted, for some unknown reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of alarm in front of Gu Chen, this junior, which he could not comprehend.

Indeed, Gu Chen had not expected that Xu Qing would send an Innate Stage martial arts grandmaster to kill him. If Gu Chen had not had an ace up his sleeve, this attempt might really have been dangerous.

"Next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death. This time, I'll take something for interest," murmured Gu Chen, regarding the grandmaster before him as nothing.

"Arrogant!"

The grandmaster from the Arsenal issued a cold shout, ready to teach Gu Chen a lesson. Extending his palm, he fiercely clenched, and suddenly, the vital energy between heaven and earth converged, compressing towards Gu Chen's body.

Boom!

However, the next moment, like an erupting volcano, Gu Chen's power surged, quickly surpassing the Hundred Orifices Stage and reaching the Innate Stage!

"What?!"

The grandmaster's face was filled with horror, as he had never witnessed a Transformative Stage martial artist elevate to a level comparable to the Innate Stage so instantly.

"There must be something amiss!"

In his shock, the grandmaster's thoughts of greed dissipated. Without a second thought, he prepared to flee, intent on informing Xu Qing.

"Too bad it's too late for you to leave now."

Endless light and heat were released, as if a great sun was rising. Gu Chen shone with dazzling brilliance, standing amid the sky and the sun, his figure becoming blurry, as if a deity had descended.

Witnessing this scene, the grandmaster from the Arsenal seemed to recall something, uttered a cry of alarm, and blurted out, "You are that mysterious powerhouse from Yan State?!"

At this moment, his soul was struck with terror. He could never have imagined that the mysterious Transcendent Realm warrior from Yan State, who was spoken of throughout the land, was Gu Chen.

"A Transcendent Realm at the age of twenty-two?! This..." He was dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

"I'll send you on your way!"

Gu Chen's words rang clear, and as they fell, a brilliant punch streaked across the sky and earth.

Spurt!

A rain of blood scattered across the sky as an Innate Stage martial arts grandmaster met his untimely demise in an instant.
