Boom!

Blood light flooded the sky, with Heavenly Earth Essence Qi surging around, causing everyone present to shudder in fright!

No one had expected that at this moment, a martial arts master of the innate realm would take action and attempt an assassination.

And the target of the assassination was none other than the commander of the Jing Tian Department of Da Xia, the Marquis of Wu An, Gu Chen!

The chilling intent to kill soared into the sky, causing everyone to feel a coldness throughout their bodies, with the sharp murderous aura making everyone below the innate realm tremble with fear.

It was exceedingly audacious, to strike so brazenly in front of everyone, clearly showing no regard for Da Xia.

People knew that Gu Chen was doomed!

"The leader of Blood Garb Tower!"

Innate realm martial arts grandmasters present, like the leader of the Beidou Sect and the master of Qinglong Valley, all frowned and channeled their true energy, protecting their disciples.

They too had not expected that the Blood Garb Tower would be so bold as to send one of their branch leaders to assassinate Gu Chen, a younger generation member.

The strength of a single innate realm martial arts grandmaster was already enormously formidable, let alone those from the Blood Garb Tower, who were well-versed in the art of assassination.

The leader of the Beidou Sect and the master of Qinglong Valley, along with the other innates, knew that Gu Chen was destined to die.

But at that moment, as their gazes shifted, they suddenly noticed that their disciples, Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, Xue Jingyun, and others, showed not the slightest shock, remaining completely calm.

This caused the masters to wonder, could it be that following the events in the Ling Realm, their disciples’ temperament had been tempered and grown considerably?

Seeing an innate realm martial arts grandmaster strike, Lu Chang and other commanders of the Jing Tian Department from East Province, alongside Gu Chen, shuddered, the bone-chilling coldness causing them to shake involuntarily.

Whir!

At that moment, an energy emerged, enveloping them and helping Lu Chang and the others resist the cold killing intent.

"Die!"

A whisper, akin to that of a demon from hell, echoed, and an iron sword pierced through the heavens and earth aimed straight for Gu Chen’s brow.

"If Gu Chen were to die here, Da Xia would surely go mad, wouldn’t they?" Just as this thought surfaced in everyone’s minds, something unexpected happened in the next instant.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Gu Chen tilted his body slightly, and narrowly dodged the lethal strike.

"He actually dodged it?!"

The leader of the Beidou Sect, the master of Qinglong Valley, and the others were also taken aback, inwardly praising Gun Chen as worthy of being the martial prodigy celebrated across the nine provinces; even the assassination attempt by the leader of the Blood Garb Tower was avoided. Such reflexes were indeed swift.

Swish!

Seeing his attack missed, the figure disrupted space and materialized, clad in bloodied garb, hanging midair.

The leader of the Blood Garb Tower then launched a second strike.

With a swishing sound, another streak of bloody light burst forth, but this attack stopped abruptly, before it even started.

A slender, lily-white hand reached out and grasped the neck of the Blood Garb Tower leader, curtly halting his attack.

"You..."

The innate realm martial arts grandmaster of the Blood Garb Tower looked panicked with eyes filled with dread, as Gu Chen’s move had caught him completely off guard.

At that moment, the entire place was stunned into silence.

What had they seen?

An innate realm martial arts grandmaster held by the neck by a junior, Gu Chen, lifted into midair as easily as if pinching a chick.

Wow!

Immediately after, a wave of immense astonishment erupted amid the onlookers, as the scene unfolded beyond everyone’s expectations.

Only those warriors who had emerged from the Ling Realm watched with calm and steady eyes, undisturbed by the spectacle.

Joking aside, Gu Chen had slaughtered many in the Ling Realm, even killing three saints of the innate realm, so they had long recognized Gu Chen’s extraordinary strength, and naturally, they were not surprised.

"What is going on here?"

The leader of the Beidou Sect, as well as the master of Qinglong Valley and other top figures from East Province, could not help but look towards their disciples, seeking an answer.

Seeing this, Lu Xing whispered, "Gu Chen has broken through to the innate realm and has achieved the status of a martial arts grandmaster."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the innate realm martial arts grandmasters were taken aback, their eyes brimming with disbelief.

Bu Nantian, Xue Jingyun, and others like Xiang Yang and Jingxuan all nodded, confirming the truth of this matter.

"Innate?!" The leader of the Beidou Sect and the others quickly turned their gaze back to Gu Chen.

"Blood Garb Tower? One day, I will completely eradicate you!"

No sooner had the words left his lips did Gu Chen slightly exert strength in his palm, and with a crisp snap, the neck of the Blood Garb Tower leader he was holding was broken, instantly ending his life.

"What... what did I just see?" A warrior mumbled in shock.

No one answered him, as at that moment, regardless of who it was, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, as though in a dream.

An innate realm martial arts grandmaster, revered by millions across the nine provinces, just died like that?

His death was so abrupt, so silent, so effortless!

He was slain by Gu Chen as easily as one might crush an ant.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire place was in an uproar. The multitude of warriors present, regardless of who they were, even the innate realm martial arts grandmasters, felt a chill running from head to toe, throughout their entire bodies, trembling, with hairs on end.

Innate!

At that moment, two words appeared in everyone’s minds.

```

They knew that the Marquis of Wu’an from Da Xia, known in the jianghu as the "Man Butcher" Gu Chen, must have also reached the Innate Realm!

The trio, Xuan One, Lu Qing, and Xu Ya, from the six great holy lands saw that the dust had settled and Lin Bai’s trace was nowhere to be found even as the Spiritual Realm collapsed. Without saying much, they turned around and left the area.

They needed to return to their sects immediately and report everything they had experienced in the Spiritual Realm.

This included Gu Chen!

To the six great holy lands, the influence of one Innate was not significant; however, a twenty-two-year-old Innate who could overpower the heirs of the holy lands was a different matter altogether.

Moreover, since Gu Chen had also slain Yuwen Wind and the other two, the situation became even more complicated.

The most important thing was the matter of the Heavenly Seed; all of these needed to be reported to the higher-ups of the holy lands, so that decisions could be made.

"Let’s go."

At this moment, Gu Chen discarded the corpse of the Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster from the Blood Clothing Tower as if it were rubbish. He then led Lu Chang and a group of commanders from the East Province’s Jing Tian Department away.

Wherever he passed, everyone unconsciously made way for him, leaving a path open and watching him with eyes full of amazement.

"Tell me everything that happened in the Spiritual Realm in detail."

After Gu Chen had left, the sect masters of the Beidou Sect, the valley master of Qinglong Valley, and other Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters from the East Province all turned to look at their disciples with a serious face.

For Lu Xing and the others, it was the first time seeing their master this serious. But considering Gu Chen’s attainment of the Innate Realm, they understood and promptly recounted everything that happened after they entered the Spiritual Realm.

At the same time, a group of people from the Tianyun Sect, Purple Extreme Sect, Mysterious Pill Workshop, and the Arsenal were somewhat perplexed. Why hadn’t Su Du, Shen Han, Xu Qing, and Yuan Zixun emerged?

After glancing at them, Lu Xing and the others did not hold back, recounting everything that Gu Chen had done.

Boom!

After hearing the descriptions from Lu Xing and others, the sect masters from the Beidou Sect and the other Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters trembled as if struck by lightning, their bodies freezing on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

They had lost composure, something that had never happened to them before!

As rulers of top forces in the nine provinces and martial arts grandmasters of the Innate Realm, there were few things in the world that could affect them to such an extent.

And even when they lost composure, they would usually conceal it well, never showing it directly to their disciples like this.

But at this moment, the news they heard from Lu Xing and the others had completely shocked them, leaving their minds almost completely blank.

"A twenty-two-year-old... Innate?"

The master of the Beidou Sect murmured to himself, not knowing what to say anymore. Even the word ’shocked’ was insufficient to describe the emotions in their hearts.

That was a twenty-two-year-old Innate!

What did that represent?

Since ancient times had passed, in the tens of thousands of years that followed, there had never been such a young Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster in the nine provinces!

Furthermore, Gu Chen was actually able to dominate over the heirs of the holy lands, killing them as easily as slaughtering chickens when at the same realm.

Such terrifying talent and strength had left the master of Beidou Sect and the other Innates dazed, unable to express it with words, their whole bodies numb as if their pores were about to explode.

"Unrivaled in this generation..." At this moment, the valley master of Qinglong Valley, a burly man, said blankly and instinctively.

"Indeed, unrivaled in this generation." At the same time, these four words also emerged in the minds of the master of the Beidou Sect and the other Innates.

A twenty-two-year-old Innate, who had set a precedent in the modern history of the nine provinces, had created a miracle!

Even in the times when martial arts flourished in the ancient era, a twenty-two-year-old Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster was nearly unseen.

Especially since Gu Chen had taken only two years to reach this level from the Concealed Breath Realm!

That was an even more fantastical number!

One that would be etched into the annals of history in the nine provinces, unseen in the past, and likely, barring unforeseen circumstances, unseen in the future!

They knew that an individual, unrivaled in this generation and with the potential to reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the nine provinces, had emerged.

This was both good news and bad news.

It was good because they had witnessed the rise of a martial arts behemoth, but the bad news was that Gu Chen was a commander of the Jing Tian Department, a Marquis of Wu’an of Da Xia, and belonged to the royal court.

In the future, Gu Chen would be another Emperor of Xia, capable of helping Da Xia suppress the world, and the whole nine provinces would bow their heads!

Nowadays, Gu Chen could no longer be described as a rising star in martial arts but had already become a major figure perched at the pinnacle of the nine provinces!

The Innate Realm, known as the realm of martial arts grandmasters, and with Gu Chen’s talent and strength, could not be measured by ordinary standards. Even at the Innate level, he would surely be able to fight beyond his station.

In the current world, no one would be a match for Gu Chen as long as no gods appeared, allowing him to dominate the nine provinces!

The master of the Beidou Sect and the valley master of Qinglong Valley no longer dared to see Gu Chen as a junior but treated him as a peer.

Gu Chen’s emergence had reshaped their entire worldview.

They realized that such supremely monstrous entities truly exist in this world!

Soon, the events that transpired in the Spiritual Realm, including everything that happened here, spread like a hurricane throughout the East Province and then the entire world.

The entire nine provinces were stirred by Gu Chen, causing a tremendous uproar.

Whether it was the Great Yuan or the barbarian tribes, everyone across the nine provinces came to know of this.

A twenty-two-year-old Innate had emerged from Da Xia!

Twenty-two years old!

This age, like a curse, caused all the people in the world to hesitate, becoming stupefied.

The whole world was shaken because of Gu Chen, and the entire nine provinces boiled over because of this one person!

And as for the present Gu Chen, he paid no heed to these external disturbances. After exiting the Spiritual Realm, he went straight back to Yan territory to see his uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Seeing Gu Chen returned safely, Gu Chengfeng, Xu Qinge, and his sister Gu Qingyan could finally let go of the heart they had been holding.

Every time Gu Chen took on a mission, they would be so worried, only able to relax upon his safe return.

Seeing his uncle’s family, Gu Chen also felt delighted, his smile genuine and heartfelt.

"Uncle, Aunt, Qinyan, come, I’ll take you all home."
