Chapter 28 The Great Struggle, Only One Person Can Cross It
Gu Zhenxuan, one of the top ten sequences of the Gu Family and a young supreme of the Three Thousand Dao Realms, was defeated!
And it was a crushing defeat, leaving no room for resistance!
His proud Black Turtle True Body, one of the future supreme constitutions, was effortlessly crushed by Gu Changsheng.
His physical body was directly shattered, half of his body destroyed, exposing bloodied, stark white bones. His condition could only be described as utterly miserable.
Not to mention the ancient heavenly techniques and the inheritance he had mastered; he barely had a chance to utilize them due to the overwhelming gap in strength between the two.
It took a full moment of silence before the entire Northern Wilderness City erupted in an uproar. What everyone had anticipated as a fierce battle between dragons and tigers* had ended so abruptly.
[*A fierce and evenly matched struggle, often between two powerful entities]
“Although the two are at similar cultivation levels, it’s said that the Gu Family’s Divine Son is only about thirteen years old, not even an adult, yet he has already displayed an invincible demeanor!” Many hidden elders were amazed, their gazes full of admiration and astonishment as they fell upon that figure in white.
It was as if they were witnessing the rise of a young Immortal Emperor.
Invincible among peers, capable of defeating those at higher levels!
“In the younger generation, I don’t think anyone could rival this terrifying Divine Son of the Gu Family!”
“Did you notice? From start to finish, he carried a calm, unhurried demeanor, as if walking leisurely in a courtyard. He didn’t even use his full strength!”
“Of course, I noticed. He probably only used one or two moves. Truly a monster who broke the record set by the Ascetic Emperor.”
“Honestly, Gu Zhenxuan is pitiful. Born in the same era as such a figure and, worse, in the same family. If he were in another power, he would undoubtedly be a beacon of endless glory and a symbol of dominance among his peers.”
Some cultivators expressed pity and sympathy for Gu Zhenxuan.
A young supreme, brought down to such a miserable state in mere moments.
Others felt a chill in their hearts.
This was the cruelty of an immortal-level power. Even within the same clan, disciples competed over life and death, let alone when dealing with outsiders.
It was absolutely ruthless.
“Look at his blood! It’s multicolored, brimming with divine nature, and even exudes the power of laws. This is undoubtedly one of the supreme constitutions!”
Why is he so strong?
A sense of lifelessness appeared in his expression, the hopelessness searing into his heart.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
A terrifying figure emerged behind Gu Zhenxuan—a furious elder, his eyes wide with rage.
This was clearly a protective item left by the clan. It would activate in moments of mortal danger.
“Who dares...” The elder’s voice boomed as his overwhelming aura swept across the area like a vast ocean.
But when his gaze landed on Gu Changsheng, he abruptly fell silent.
Glancing at both Gu Changsheng and the defeated Gu Zhenxuan, he quickly understood what had happened.
“Greetings, Divine Son,” the elder sighed, bowing slightly to Gu Changsheng with a complex expression.
Gu Changsheng nodded. “There’s no need for formality, elder.”
This elder, belonging to a branch of the Gu Family, was someone Gu Changsheng recognized. His power was undeniable—a terrifying figure who could shake the world with a mere stomp.
The elder glanced again at the despair-stricken Gu Zhenxuan and sighed deeply.
“Alas, I hope the Divine Son will spare Zhenxuan on my behalf. He can no longer threaten you. We have long advised him against this, but he remained stubborn. His fate today was inevitable.”
The outcome didn’t surprise him. After all, Gu Changsheng’s strength was enough to leave even them trembling.
“Of course,” Gu Changsheng said with a faint smile.
The elder sighed again. He believed that if he hadn’t intervened, Gu Zhenxuan wouldn’t have survived the day.
The Divine Son’s outward gentleness masked a far more formidable ruthlessness.
Otherwise, why would Gu Qingxuan’s Dao heart have shattered, leaving him a ruined man for life?
Naturally, these were not words the elder dared to voice.
