Chapter 162: Ancestral Land Storm (Three more updates of ten thousand words each, please subscribe!)
At this moment, in the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, unseen by anyone, Lei Tian from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, a top prodigy who appeared once every thousand years, met his demise at the hands of Gu Chen.
At this moment, Lei Tian's eyes were wide open, his pupils gradually dilating as the life in him slowly ebbed away.
Originally, when Gu Chen had thrust the thunder spear into Lei Tian's body, his internal organs had already been thoroughly destroyed.
Now, Gu Chen clenched his palm tightly, and although it seemed like he merely twisted Lei Tian's neck, he had in fact extinguished all remaining life in his body.
Lei Tian, who regarded himself as a reincarnation of a divine child and was extremely arrogant, wanted to compete with Gu Chen for the Thunder Tribulation Fluid, and ultimately fell here.
First, it was Huo Ming from the Fire Crow Clan, and now Lei Tian from the Heavenly Thunder Sect. It can be said if news of these two men's deaths were to spread, it would certainly cause great upheaval.
Whether in the external world or within the ancestral lands, it would be the same.
After all, both men held extraordinary identities and were highly talented, renowned across hundreds of realms. To die like this, keeping the news quiet would be impossible.
However, for now, in the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, information was isolated, and it would be difficult for the news to get out immediately.
But as time passed, if both men remained missing, it would inevitably raise suspicion.
But this was not something Gu Chen had to consider.
After killing Lei Tian, he directly suppressed the thunder blade, stretching out his left hand to grasp it, the dark light spreading, and the mysterious gauntlet within the flesh resonated, thoroughly absorbing its essence and core.
The spiritual treasures obtained from Huo Ming and Zheng Zhiyuan before, and all the weapon-type spoils Gu Chen had acquired since arriving in the upper realm, were all devoured by the mysterious gauntlet.
However, now Gu Chen's strength was so formidable that for a long time, he had no opportunity to utilize the mysterious gauntlet among those of the same level as him, as his abilities were somewhat "overqualified."
But Gu Chen had always been aware of the extraordinary nature of the mysterious gauntlet.
At least, until now, he hadn't heard of any item capable of devouring other divine weapons and armaments.
Even the renowned Yuding could not achieve this!
From this, it could be seen that the mysterious gauntlet had exceptional potential, certainly not something ordinary weapons could compare with, though it required time, or rather, a large amount of weapons for growth.
"I should find an opportunity to inquire about the origins of the mysterious gauntlet at the Pure Yang Martial Sect," Gu Chen contemplated.
Of course, it was definitely not feasible now. With his current strength, he could dominate among the younger generation, but any sanctified place, even the top Da Sects, could subdue him.
After all, however much he progressed, he was only at the God Transformation Realm, and once a Great Power from the heavenly realm emerged, Gu Chen would still have to flee.
Thus, this opportunity would have to wait for later, as Gu Chen was very curious about the origins of this ancient artifact.
"Nowadays, the power of the mysterious gauntlet has indeed become somewhat unpredictable," Gu Chen looked down at his left hand.
Because of the long "seal," even Gu Chen was unclear as to what extent the power of the mysterious gauntlet could reach once released.
"I just don't know if it can rival an innate spiritual treasure," Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he whispered softly.
He had also used the heavenly eye technique to try to see through the reality of the mysterious gauntlet, but in the end, Gu Chen found that he could not penetrate it!
Yuding was too extraordinary, well-known in the upper realms, and easily could not be exposed. Thus, if an enemy used a weapon beyond Gu Chen's current physical capacity, his reliance would be on the mysterious gauntlet.
"I hope it won't disappoint me," Gu Chen thought darkly.
Following that, he flipped his palm and took out a pool of Thunder Tribulation Fluid roughly half the size of his fist. The silvery fluid radiated dazzling electric light and, upon appearing, filled the surrounding void with the power of thunder and lightning.
It was this phenomenon that attracted Lei Tian, who was nearby, leading to the conflict between the two of them.
Subsequently, Gu Chen vanished in a flash, choosing a place to absorb the Thunder Tribulation Fluid, hoping to allow his physical body to reach a third rebirth, and even advance his divine ability, Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, further!
...
Elsewhere, as time passed and a few more days went by, many people who had entered the ancestral lands began to gather.
This time, aside from the top prodigies and individuals like Yun Zishu, listed on the Dao Gold List, the Holy Brilliance Dynasty itself also granted a number of places to various high officials, allowing their progeny among others to enter.
All in all, roughly a thousand people surged into the ancestral lands of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty this time!
However, the scope of the ancestral lands was excessively vast, and some were even transported to uninhabited areas, requiring seven to eight days just to finally gather.
During this time, many had their own serendipitous encounters, and the arrival of top prodigies attracted the attention of countless individuals.
For instance, Mo Chen from the Dragon Sparrow Clan had formidable strength and an impressive demeanor, with his true dragon bloodline about to awaken, leading many to believe he was the most powerful individual of all who entered the ancestral lands this time.
And many from the royal family of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty hoped that Princess Xidie could form a union with Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan, for the strength of the Dragon Sparrow Clan in the upper realm was also extremely formidable!
Meanwhile, not long after, Lu Xin from the Seven Stars Sect also appeared, once intervening at a perilous site, and when the famed Falling Star Palm appeared, it caused a cosmic upheaval that left observing cultivators in awe.
