Chapter 50 Monsters Gather
The Jiuying Clan's young master, ranked on the golden list of domains, possessed an extraordinary talent, with an incredibly high concentration of bloodline purity, nearly a complete ancestral return. Born with nine heads, he had a variety of strange abilities and was looked upon favorably by countless people below the heavens.
However, not long ago, he was first defeated by Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, in half a move, and had a millennium spirit medicine taken from him by the opponent.
Afterwards, upon hearing of Gu Chen's appearance, he came with great fury, intending to establish his might with a battle and prove his own strength, but in the end, his methods were easily resolved. A casual strike from the opponent nearly took his life.
"Ah..."
The body of the Jiuying Clan's young master was severed in half, as he lay in a pool of blood with a pale face, letting out bursts of agonized screams.
Seeing this scene, Qingye of the Green-Scale Clan was extremely panicked. If the Jiuying Clan's young master were to die here today, he would be finished as well.
Seeing how easily Gu Chen nearly slain a young demon of the Gray Domain, Xue Ningshan and the others were all shaken.
Especially Fu Ling, Xu Ziqing, and Fang Lian, they watched in spellbind and shock, and were very curious to know which lineage Gu Chen came from in the Gray Domain.
Hum!
Just then, to everyone's surprise, the bisected body of the Jiuying Clan's young master began to glow, and then started to heal at an incredibly fast rate.
"Jiuying, a primeval fierce beast; and this young master's bloodline is nearly a complete ancestral return. Like its ancestors, he was born with nine heads, thus, he also possesses nine lives, practically immortal!"
Everyone was shocked as they watched this scene, the injuries of the Jiuying Clan's young master slowly healing.
If not for Gu Chen, they would not have seen such a thing happen in their lifetime. Even Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, does not have such strength at present.
"Ah... I will kill you!"
Losing one of his precious lives so wastefully was a severe blow to him that would require various treasures and a long time to recover from.
At that moment, the eyes of the Jiuying Clan's young master were bloodshot, nearly driven mad, he let out a loud shout, light and shadow transformed, and in a burst of light, a massive creature emerged!
"Jiuying!"
As the Jiuying Clan's young master revealed his true form, Xue Ningshan and the others had no choice but to retreat even further.
Gu Chen watched with interest as the gigantic creature with nine ferocious heads appeared before him, each head standing tens of feet tall, with eyes as big as red lanterns fixed on Gu Chen.
"Why are six of the heads' eyes closed?" someone asked in puzzlement.
At this moment, Xue Ningshan, with a solemn expression, said, "Although the Jiuying Clan's young master's bloodline has returned to its ancestors and he was born with nine heads, it doesn't mean he can use all nine heads' abilities. He needs time to grow, and currently, he has only awakened three heads."
"So that's how it is." Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but realize, and indeed, as the descendant of a hidden lineage, even such secrets were known to her.
At the same time, among the three heads that the Jiuying Clan's young master controlled, one of them had received a fatal injury, with flesh on its neck flying everywhere, nearly being severed.
Just now, it was this head that had taken the fatal blow from Gu Chen.
"Roar!"
After transforming into his true form, the Jiuying Clan's young master let out a sky-shaking roar, the soundwaves disturbing heaven and earth, even causing the nearby waters of the heavenly pond to splash several tens of feet high.
Two heads, four blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Gu Chen, filled with towering hatred.
"I want you dead——"
This was the furious roar of the Jiuying Clan's young master. One of its heads spat out flames and the other spit out a pillar of water, both Samadhi True Fire and Yellow Springs Water.
At the same time, its massive body, amidst intense tremors of the ground, was also rolling toward Gu Chen.
"Futile effort."
Gu Chen's expression remained calm, still standing without moving an inch. His foot slightly lifted, then suddenly stomped down.
Boom!
In an instant, the ground within a two hundred zhang radius collapsed, dust billowed, rocks flew, all swept towards the sky.
Simultaneously, as Gu Chen's foot fell, a visibly powerful shockwave formed abruptly, striking against the massive body of the Jiuying Clan's young master!
"Ow!"
Blood splattered, the Jiuying Clan's young master let out a tragic howl, as shocking wounds appeared on its massive body, nearly being cut in half at the waist again!
"How strong is his physical body?!" Fu Ling and the others widened their eyes, feeling awe-stricken.
Even though he was only at the Great Perfection of the Human Realm, but as a figure of the saintly son level, they saw clearly that Gu Chen had just used pure physical strength, without a trace of magic power.
Could the mere fluctuation caused by his foot shattering the ground be enough to kill a young demon from the Gray Domain?
Is the gap between them really that vast?!
This was even more shocking than Gu Chen just now personally executing the Jiuying Clan's young master, and could even be said to be beyond any addition.
"Young master!"
At this time, several cries of alarm came from afar; it was the several Cave Heaven Realm protectors of the Jiuying Clan arriving.
Seeing their young master in such a tragic state, this group of Jiuying Clan's Cave Heaven Realm cultivators became anxious and their visages turned ferocious beyond measure.
"No matter which lineage you come from, daring to harm our young master, you must die!" They bellowed in anger, their fury reaching the heavens, murderous intent overflowing the fields.
These five individuals' strengths were all extraordinary, appearing to be in middle age, but their real ages, if converted to the Human Clan, were nearly a hundred years old.
