Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, after Mo Chen from the Dragon Sparrow Clan emerged, Lu Xin, bolstered by his greatly increased strength and brimming confidence, directly issued a challenge to Gu Chen.

Because he believed that although Gu Chen had made a breakthrough to the Huanxu Realm, it was inevitably impossible for him to have comprehended divine abilities, whereas he not only had mastered divine abilities but had also reached the true Ninth Grade; the disparity in strength between the two of them was clearly evident.

The thoughts of Lu Xin were crystal clear to both the Great Prince and the Second Prince, and at the same time, they were also very curious about the extent to which Gu Chen's abilities had developed after his ordeal in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Even if Gu Chen was the first to emerge, possibly reaping fewer benefits than they had, the power he had previously demonstrated was certainly not to be underestimated.

"Heh heh heh, I have a notion to try it out too," said the Mighty Demon Ape Clan's Power King, a colossus over two zhang tall with dark skin, in a deep and resonant voice.

Having previously witnessed Gu Chen's formidable strength and remarkable physicality, he had developed the urge to test himself against it.

"The Power King of the Mighty Demon Ape Clan also wishes to make a move against Gu Bai?" The Great Prince and the Second Prince exchanged glances.

To them, this was indeed good news. If Lu Xin and the Power King joined forces, then Gu Bai, no matter how extraordinary, would have a hard time prevailing.

At that moment, Gu Chen stood up and glanced briefly at Lu Xin, his tone calm as he said, "Are you in such a hurry to seek death?"

"Seek death?" Lu Xin's expression was cold as he responded, "Gu Bai, it's time to settle our grudges. Had it not been for the prohibition of combat in Saint Hua City that day, you would have been decapitated long ago and wouldn't have had the chance to come here and dare to challenge me."

Honestly, Lu Xin did harbor a hint of regret in his heart, feeling that he should have dealt with Gu Chen back in the Moon Fairy Tower rather than waiting until now, allowing his opponent to gain momentum.

Fortunately, having undergone enhancement in the Dragon Transformation Pool, it wasn't too late even now.

With his divine abilities at the ready, Lu Xin believed that Gu Chen could not possibly be his match.

As for Yuan Qian, that was simply his bad luck; he didn't anticipate that Gu Chen had a soul artifact which would counter him.

Otherwise, Gu Chen should have died back then.

In fact, most people shared this opinion.

"Gu Bai, come over here and die," Lu Xin called out coldly, returning to Gu Chen the very words he had said to him before.

"Star Point Finger!"

No sooner had he spoken than Lu Xin could hardly wait to make a move, resorting to the same technique he had used in his previous altercation with Gu Chen.

At that time, his finger had collided with Gu Chen's palm, nearly breaking on the spot, which astonished Lu Xin.

At that moment, he realized that Gu Chen's physical body must have undergone two reconstructions, extraordinary and beyond ordinary, and that he was no match.

But now things were different. After the refining of the Dragon Transformation Pool, Lu Xin's body had also been reconstructed twice, and he felt no fear of Gu Chen.

As for the third transformation of the physical body, Lu Xin believed that even with the aid of the Dragon Transformation Pool, it would be difficult to achieve.

After all, the later the stage, the harder it was to breakthrough, to the point where the difficulty could be said to increase exponentially.

Having undergone two physical reconstructions, Lu Xin, even in the Huanxu Realm, had no confidence in the third reconstruction and did not believe that Gu Chen could succeed just by virtue of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

sst!

Starlight twinkled; Lu Xin's fingertips were as sharp as spirit swords, capable of piercing through anything. He pointed his finger with enormous confidence towards the center of Gu Chen's brow.

The next moment, a light ting sound echoed through the void, and Lu Xin's expression abruptly changed as his attack was countered with a single finger by the opponent.

"Is that your confidence?" Gu Chen asked flatly, standing there and questioning Lu Xin in return.

Lu Xin's palm trembled, spasming, and blood even started to flow from his fingertips. The pain was severe, as if each of his fingers was connected to his heart, twisting his face into an almost grotesque shape.

"You..."

An incredibly shocking guess emerged in his heart, and Lu Xin's eyes nearly bulged in astonishment.

Bang!

In the next moment, Gu Chen kicked out like a flash of lightning, catching Lu Xin off guard. Lu Xin was sent flying a long distance away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Still a crushing victory?!" The shock resonated in the hearts of the Great Prince and the Second Prince, and the same was true for the other spectators.

They had all assumed that Gu Chen, being the first among the nine to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, had gained the least; yet against Lu Xin, the outcome was a heart-stopping overpowerment.

Even Mo Chen, whose true dragon bloodline had awakened, couldn't help but narrow his eyes in surprise and furrow his brows at the sight.

"Falling Star Palm!"

At this point Lu Xin roared, his body adorned with the Illumination from the Morning Star Ancient Clothing. Waves of starlight, like water, converged in front of him, forming an enormous palm print bearing a terrifying force, striking out towards Gu Chen.

The Falling Star Palm, it was said that if practiced to perfection, could, when used by a heavyweight from the celestial realm, even collapse stars from the outer domains.

Suitably, the name Falling Star Palm was derived from this legend.

"Die!"

Lu Xin called out coldly, his body radiant with starlight, making him look exceptionally valiant and majestic as though he were an emissary amongst the stars.

Yet facing this palm that, at its strongest, could strike down stars from the outer domains, Gu Chen remained unafraid. Indeed, he didn't even make use of any skills, relying solely on his palms, he could push through everything.

Bang!

Gu Chen struck out with his palm, devoid of any extraordinary phenomena, and it collided with the most powerful attack of Lu Xin, the prodigy of the Seven Stars Sect. Instantly, a wild wind erupted, the heavens and earth trembled, and amidst the twinkling starlight, the Falling Star Palm dissipated upon impact.

"Could he really have achieved the third transformation of the physical body?!" Lu Xin was horrified, unable to maintain his composure any longer.
