Chapter 193: The Dean Emerges from Seclusion
What defines a Great Power? With cultivation overwhelming, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, a mere lift of the hand can reverse clouds and rain, stirring up colossal storms, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to rupture, and turning vast oceans into barren wastelands—only then can one be called a Great Power!
Not to mention, the gap between the Heavenly realm and the Earth realm is so vast that even the difference between heaven and earth doesn't do it justice!
Combine the two, and it further leads to the extraordinariness of Great Power individuals. Be aware that even some top freaks from the upper realms, known in dozens or hundreds of worlds, have numerous historical failures in attempting to break through the Earth realm and reach directly into the Heavenly realm after completing the great perfection of the Huanxu Realm.
From this, it can be seen that achieving Great Power status is truly very difficult.
But what did they see now? Gu Chen, a mere twenty-something Huanxu realm cultivator, faced the siege of ten Great Power individuals, and within a few moves, he defeated the strongest among them. He beat them into a critical state near death and stepped on them, which was simply too fantastical!
Countless people were dumbfounded, feeling as though they were living in a dream, with everything before them seeming too unreal.
Admittedly, the ten Great Powers before him had been suppressed to the same level of cultivation as Gu Chen, but this was still outrageous.
Regardless of their number, the ten Great Powers, although they were all in the Huanxu realm, still had their insight, experience, and such considerations; even if they were in the same realm, they could dominate Earth realm cultivators.
It could be said that what was unfolding before their eyes was overturning their understanding and even giving rise to deep self-doubt.
"Could it be that the Gu Bai before us has also transformed from an old monster?" In this moment, countless people couldn't help but subconsciously think this way.
Of course, this thought appeared only for an instant before they dismissed it from their minds.
After all, there were three giant-figure individuals present. If Gu Chen wanted to hide, it would be impossible.
Not to mention everyone else, even Cui Ji, who was also a Great Power, was somewhat shocked, looking at Gu Chen with disbelief.
Even he couldn't help thinking that while he was considerably stronger than Jiuying Clan's Jiunan, who lay there at death's door, if his realm were suppressed, he might have difficulty facing Gu Chen as an opponent.
"This kid, when he fought for the holy sect stronghold, he truly didn't give it his all!" Great Power Cui Ji's heart chilled.
If previously some Great Powers from Qingyun Academy grew fond of him because of Gu Chen's identity as an heir, their attitudes becoming cordial and approachable,
Now, after today's event spreads, even Great Powers will deeply regard Gu Chen as someone on their level!
After all, possessing such strength, barring any accidents, he is destined to break through to the Heavenly realm in the future. For him, the Great Power status is only a beginning!
Dominating a Great Power is truly too astonishing!
Even as a giant-figure individual, Elder Zhou couldn't help but flash a hint of amazement in his aged pupils just now.
As for the two giant figures from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan, let's not even mention them. At this moment, their faces were extremely unsightly. Even with their giant-figure mentalities, they couldn't hide it.
Regardless of today's outcome, once it spreads, both of their forces will become a hot topic of conversation, a thorough scandal!
Even if Jiuying Clan's Great Power Jiunan does not die today, from now on, he will be unable to lift his head in front of everyone!
"What are you all standing there for? Are you truly all useless?!" The uncle of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty could not stand it any longer, anger surging on his face.
"Kill!"
The nine Great Powers from the two major forces heard this and immediately came back to their senses. The astonishment on their faces disappeared as they charged towards Gu Chen once again.
Especially the Jiuying Clan, with hatred emerging on their faces, they knew they had to strike down Gu Chen with the force of thunder to regain some face.
Otherwise, not only Jiunan but also themselves will not be able to lift their heads in the days to come. Many Great Powers will be ashamed to associate with them.
At this moment, the killing intent of the nine Great Powers converged, shaking the heavens and the earth. A desolate and solemn atmosphere spread, causing all onlookers to shiver, feeling as if their bodies were about to split.
Suddenly, their faces filled with terror as they continuously retreated.
Gu Chen was powerful, able to resolve one Great Power, but what about nine?
Even Elder Zhou and Cui Ji now focused their attention, wanting to see how Gu Chen would respond.
The Gang Wind blew, robes fluttering, Gu Chen's black hair was lifted, revealing the clearly defined and handsome contours of his face.
Even when faced with the joint attack of nine Great Powers, he remained calm, his gaze deep like an old well, without a ripple, his demeanor extraordinary, exuding an indescribable charm.
As if he was the one who had suppressed his realm, sitting high on the throne in the sky, awaiting the challenge of nine Great Power figures!
Such a scenario was unprecedented, unseen and unheard of by the crowd—truly a first!
"Kill!"
The nine Great Powers let out another roar, the heavens and earth nearly burst open, and thanks to the presence of three giant figures, everyone was protected from harm.
Boom!
At this moment, Gu Chen finally made his move. With a raise of his hand, strands of emperor dragon energy emerged, and a dragon's roar resounded.
It was the Emperor Extreme World-Shaking Secret reaching the eighth layer!
Eighty-one strands of emperor dragon energy emerged, Gu Chen's black hair unfurled, cloaked in dark attire. As he moved with the might of a dragon and the step of a tiger, he seemed like an emperor on a journey. With a lift of the hand, eighty-one dragon energies transformed into true dragons, roaring as they soared out and struck towards the nine Great Powers charging against him.
