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.

Clearly, they did not take Gu Chen seriously at all. Although they had witnessed Gu Chen's strength at the summit of Mirror Lake Mountain, they still remained defiant.

Because all three of them had middle to late stage cultivation at the Hundred Orifices Stage, and they had also merged with Disaster Level demons, their strength was incredibly formidable. Working together, they would not falter even against someone like Lu Xing, let alone Gu Chen, who was just at the Transcendence Realm.

"You want to know where the young master is? Are you aware the young master needs your source and wish to offer it up to him?" sneered the three middle-aged men.

"Does Lin Bai have such confidence? Not afraid that the people of the world will discover his true identity and unite against him?" Gu Chen asked.

In Gu Chen's opinion, Lin Bai, being the young master of the Six Union God Sect, should have kept a low profile and hidden his identity, but instead, he challenged each major martial sect in East Province one by one so boldly. Anyone with a bit of sense would realize his identity was extraordinary.

If investigated, any trace could quickly confirm Lin Bai's identity.

Now, it was only because the descendents of the six great holy lands had descended and because the ancient secrets were about to be revealed that these martial powers in East Province had not paid attention.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to keep Lin Bai's identity concealed.

"So what if they know?"

"The nine provinces are about to change, and our god sect will soon dominate the world. With our current strength, there's no need for the young master to hide."

"What should be feared is not the young master, but you."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Chen's brow furrowed slightly. The nine provinces about to change? Could it be that the Six Union God Sect had some other schemes in place?

With this thought, Gu Chen's heart grew vigilant, and seizing the opportunity, he said, "The nine provinces are about to change? Are you planning to fight the world with your own strength?"

The three middle-aged martial artists sneered, "Provocations won't work on us. We don't even take the six great holy lands seriously, let alone fighting the entire world alone."

"What bold claims!" Gu Chen laughed.

"You dare to laugh when facing your death, don't waste words with a dead man. Let's quickly take action, kill this brat, and present him to the young master, that way, the young master will surely recognize our achievements,"

One of the three coldly said, "Alright, you're unlucky to meet us today, so we're going to have to ask you to die."

Having spoken, from within the black fog, several bloodthirsty-eyed demons rushed towards Gu Chen, their eerie power assaulting his mind and spirit.

At the same time, three middle-aged men also struck in unison, clearly being cautious, not wanting to give Gu Chen any opportunity to react, intending to kill him in one fell swoop.

However, Gu Chen remained calm. He looked down at the palm of his left hand and said softly, "Kill them, and their essence blood is yours."

Hum!

Suddenly, the gauntlets deep within his left palm trembled lightly, seemingly because of the effect of the mid-grade divine weapon Gu Chen had fed it earlier, tasting sweetness, it decided to cooperate with Gu Chen.

Boom!

In that instant, a dazzling light erupted. Gu Chen's left palm appeared to be holding a miniature sun, its blinding light making it impossible for onlookers to keep their eyes open. The demons that had approached him were incinerated into nothingness on the spot.

With quick reflexes, the Great Sun Divine Gang surged within Gu Chen, drawing several soul crystals into his palm. They were treasures not to be lost.

"You…"

At this moment, the three middle-aged warriors from the demonic sect were also shocked, feeling an unstoppable aura. For some reason, Gu Chen's cultivation level was climbing rapidly, soon surpassing theirs.

"How is this possible?!"

They were immediately filled with horror. How could a martial artist of the Transformative Stage become so much stronger in the blink of an eye?

"In fact, you don't realize that it's actually yourselves who are delivering the goods," said Gu Chen casually. With a flick of his finger, a sword qi shot out, instantly slashing the three men into dust.

Under the enhancement of the gauntlets, the essence of the Great Sun Divine Gang within Gu Chen had reached a certain pinnacle of purity. In just a moment, not only the three middle-aged warriors but also the three Disaster Level peak demons within them were burned to ashes.

As for the remaining soul crystals, naturally, Gu Chen collected them all.

However, after killing the group of demonic sect warriors, Gu Chen did not leave but still stood in place.

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.
