Chapter 1432: Chapter 321 The Truth About the Epoch Catastrophe (Three updates of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)
Boom!
The giant city of the prison clan shook violently, the sky full of patterns flickered, and bursts of black beams burst forth, continuously striking at Gu Chen.
But his speed was indeed too fast, too fast for the patterns to capture, and those weak points couldn’t hinder Gu Chen in any way.
He dashed left and right, his figure continuously disappearing, as one by one the great powers of the prison clan met their gruesome deaths. Even with the help of heavenly demons inside them, they couldn’t withstand it, and in just a moment, fifteen of the prison clan’s Ascension Realm members had fallen!
Seeing this, the hearts of the prison clan’s great powers bled, filled with immense anger.
Swoosh!
At this moment, an elder appeared, blocking in front of Gu Chen; he was the leader of the prison clan.
"Young one!"
The clan leader of the prison clan had a cold expression as he formed symbols with his hands, and a black prison condensed into form, with dark demonic aura spreading within it, transforming into ghostly shadows that attacked.
Gu Chen was fearless, his expression calm. Without any visible movement, flames of the mighty solar divine fire blazed upon his body, forming a divine flame cloak that completely enveloped him.
The clan leader of the prison clan furrowed his brows, puzzled as to why Gu Chen could use the solar divine fire without any limit, which was comparable to the divine phoenix itself.
This fire, being extremely yang and reaching the pinnacle of firmness, even the strongest didn’t wish to touch it. Gu Chen’s mastery in the Ascension Realm was extremely astonishing, but why could he use it continuously without any apparent cost?
The clan leader and the elders of the prison clan were completely baffled.
"Kill!"
He yelled fiercely, turning his hand symbols while the formation of the giant prison city no longer targeted Gu Chen but instead strengthened him with limitless power.
"Endless Prison!"
The clan leader roared, using an extremely powerful divine ability, nearly approaching the level of second-grade, intending to completely exile Gu Chen.
It’s known that for a great power of the Ascension Realm to comprehend divine abilities from the laws of heaven and earth, it’s very difficult, or rather, there’s little hope to surpass third-grade divine abilities. But the clan leader had achieved this through accumulations over long years.
After all, without the suppression of the holy realm, he would have already become one of the strongest, so having such power was normal.
The world trembled, the giant prison city rumbling, demonic aura overflowing in the air, the forces of the prison clan’s laws intertwining with flying black lights. In an instant, eighteen layers of prisons condensed, pressing down toward Gu Chen.
The clan leader’s power merged with the power of heavenly demons, creating an almost horrifying legend-like eighteen layers of hell on earth, accompanied by the wailing sounds of ghosts.
Boom!
Gu Chen’s hair was loose, divine flames shimmering around his body, setting him off like a majestic sun god, extraordinary and transcendent. Endless light irradiated, and the void itself burned and collapsed, then perished.
The so-called power of heavenly demons and the eighteen layers of prisons were utterly useless, completely burned into nothingness.
"Young one, face your death!"
At this moment, the elders of the prison clan shrieked, jointly wielding various magical weapons and attacks, mixed with widespread demonic aura, assaulting Gu Chen.
"Annihilation, burn."
Gu Chen whispered lightly, as the surging divine fire rippled through the void, spreading continuously, eventually forming a kingdom of fire that covered the surrounding area of ten thousand zhang. Within this range, every person and object suffered a devastating blow, without exception.
"Ah..."
"No—"
Shrill screams arose one after another; facing Gu Chen’s solar divine fire, the prison clan’s great powers couldn’t resist at all, not even those in the complete Ascension Realm, as the heavenly demons within them were also burned into nothingness.
Trails of the essential demonic aura flowed through the void into Gu Chen’s body, and on his panel, the Divine Power value greatly increased.
"Sacred doors indeed have grand schemes." Gu Chen’s eyes flickered, Yuan Gu this time entering the sacred realm, had great plans.
Fortunately, he had already slain Yuan Gu; otherwise, with the decay of the sacred realm imminent, it was uncertain how many forces would be deceived by him. Once they returned to the upper realm, the strength of the sacred door would surely surge.
For all the realms, this was definitely not good news.
In the same realm, Gu Chen killed great powers as easily as pulling weeds, his casual stance chilling the members of the prison clan, their bodies trembling.
"Damn it!" The clan leader of the prison clan roared, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness, so vulnerable in front of Gu Chen, the junior.
Even, he struggled to follow Gu Chen’s speed.
"Stop for this old man, if you dare, face me in a frontal battle!" The clan leader of the prison clan bellowed.
"Oh?"
At this moment, Gu Chen turned back, no longer slaughtering the elders of the prison clan. His figure flashed, arriving directly in front of the clan leader, and struck out fiercely with one palm.
"Puff!"
With just this one palm, the clan leader’s eyes bulged, blood spewed from his mouth, heavenly demons within him roared, and his entire body’s organs and bones directly exploded.
"Clan leader!"
Seeing this, the cult members of the prison clan shouted, their fear intensifying.
This was a battle without surprises; from the moment Gu Chen appeared, the outcome was already destined.
All the prison clan cultivators who held hostility and malice toward Gu Chen were slain by him, and as for the so-called magical treasures, no matter how strong they were, it was useless here—they could only release innate treasure-level fluctuations and posed no threat to him.
Even with his current body, innate treasures could be shattered with his bare hands.
Relying on this battle, eternally influential in the sacred realm, the prison clan, one of the imperial clans, completely fell and was declared annihilated.
"Nice gain." Gu Chen checked his panel, and indeed, the Divine Power value had greatly increased.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a flash of light, and a celestial figure appeared beside Gu Chen, it was none other than Chu Yue Ling from the Taoxu Road.
"Let’s go," Gu Chen said.
Previously, the holy maiden of Taoxu Road had aided Gu Chen from afar, ensuring that no one could sneak away during the battle.
After all, as a royal race, the Prison Clan might have had some unexpected tricks up their sleeves that Gu Chen hadn’t anticipated, so it was normal to be cautious.
However, it turned out that he had overestimated the Prison Clan or rather, Gu Chen’s current strength was simply too overpowering; unbeatable in the Ascension Realm, leaving the Prison Clan no room to resist.
Afterward, the two left and returned to Qingyun Palace.
At this moment, everyone inside Qingyun Palace was anxiously waiting, worried about Gu Chen’s safety.
"Young Master, you’re back?!" At that moment, Long Yi and the others saw Gu Chen and Chu Yue Ling appear together and were overjoyed.
"How was it, considering the Prison Clan is a royal family with strong protective formations, it really is somewhat tricky but there’s no need to rush this matter," Master Qin said.
Qi Dao, standing in the distance and silent all this while, also glanced at Gu Chen, shaking his head inwardly.
How powerful was a royal family, standing tall in this world for countless years, their heritage immensely profound and not so easily extinguished.
In his view, it was good for Gu Chen to face some setbacks.
However, Gu Chen’s next words stunned everyone present.
"It’s over; from now on, there is no Prison Clan in the holy realm."
"Huh?!" Master Qin, three others, along with Tianyuan Taoist, Du E monk, War King, Mu Tian, Long Yi and others, were all taken aback.
Even the typically serious Luo Bing narrowed her eyes at this statement.
Qi Dao, who had been alert at a distance, reacted most dramatically, turning sharply and staring at Gu Chen in disbelief.
After all, this was a major royal family, and Gu Chen had only left for about an hour—was it really over?
No one dared to believe this was true.
But Master Qin and the others also knew that Gu Chen would not lie to them.
"This... The Prison Clan has been wiped out just like that?" They were shocked and at the same time realized that Gu Chen’s strength was far greater than they had understood!
"Could it be that he, having just entered the Ascension Realm, can now rival the top figures of the Ascension Realm!" The upper echelons, such as Tianyuan Taoist, trembled intensely.
Qi Dao grew even more silent, standing there saying nothing, pondering something.
Just then, someone outside reported: "Reporting to the palace master, representatives from the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and SilkWorm Clan, the three royal families, have come to visit."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Master Qin and the others were somewhat surprised, and glanced at Gu Chen.
"Please," Gu Chen said.
"Yes."
And so, under the lead of Qingyun Palace people, Dragon Ao Xuan, Phoenix Huo Wu, and the Undying God Silkworm Can Miao appeared.
Behind them also followed Ao Xing, Ao Jing, and others.
"Brother Gu." Upon seeing Gu Chen, their expressions were somewhat complex as they bowed their fists in greeting.
"Hmm," Gu Chen nodded in acknowledgment, he held no hostility towards Ao Xing, Ao Jing, and the others.
"This..." At that moment, Master Qin and three others stood up, their eyes shook as they looked towards Ao Xuan, Huo Wu, and others beside them.
The individuals standing there, two men and one stunningly beautiful woman, were none other than the leaders of the Dragon Clan, SilkWorm Clan, and the Phoenix Clan.
"This must be Young Master Gu Chen, no?" The three royal family heads smiled, looking at Gu Chen.
"Greetings to the three," Gu Chen bowed his fists, maintaining an even composure.
The three heads of the clans nodded in return and secretly felt amazed, perceiving the young man before them as potentially strong and unfathomable.
"They might be no weaker than us," they exchanged glances.
"I wonder, for what reason do Brother Ao and others appear here today?" Gu Chen got straight to the point.
He could see that the three mythical beings held a higher stature than the three clan leaders of the Dragon Clan, after all, given their lineage.
Hearing this, Ao Xuan solemnly bowed his fist and said, "As the epoch comes to an end, a great calamity approaches. Brother Gu is exceptionally gifted; this time, we have come to discuss a collaboration."
"Collaboration?" Gu Chen understood, nodding slightly.
At the same time, a question that had lingered in his mind for a long time seemed to find an answer right in this moment.
Without any hesitation, Gu Chen asked directly: "May I ask Brother Ao, what exactly is this so-called Epoch Calamity?"
He looked towards Ao Xuan, as well as the leaders of the Dragon Clan, SilkWorm Clan, and Phoenix Clan, clearly, they ought to know something.
In an instant, including Luo Bing, Tianyuan Taoist, and other nine successors, everyone became interested because before their departure in the last epoch, the Ice Emperor had not revealed the truth to them.
Although the head of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, once said that some things are better left unknown to avoid losing spirit,
Gu Chen believed that, with his current strength, he too was qualified to understand these matters.
Ao Xuan and the others exchanged looks, being mythical beings and supreme figures themselves, they of course knew what the truth was.
With fiery red long hair, Phoenix Dance Huo Wu spoke up, her crimson eyes looking at Gu Chen, softly saying: "Brother Gu and others must have already had some guesses, right?"
As she spoke, Gu Chen’s heart shook, confirming his suspicions.
"Indeed," he sighed lightly.
Chu Yue Ling remained calm and silent, evidently having understood this long before.
Long Yi, Dongba, Princess Xidie, Gu Qingyan, Yun Zishu, and Zhenyuan were very confused, not understanding what Gu Chen and the others were talking about.
Whereas Luo Bing, Tianyuan Taoist, and the other nine heirs also came to a realization, their suspicions confirmed like Gu Chen’s.
"Calamities caused by demons and evils, spread across countless skies, devastating myriad realms throughout endless epochs; they are the calamity of this universe, the outsiders, seeking to devour everything in our world!" Ao Xuan spoke solemnly, slowly revealing the truth.
And thus, at this very moment, the mysterious veil of the Epoch Calamity was also lifted for Gu Chen and others, revealing the truth once and for all!
