Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Nether Sect 183 (2/2)

The Nether Sect, indeed, is not to be underestimated.

However, the other party’s gaze made his scalp tingle.

Might this damn person be some sort of pervert?

Feeling uneasy all over, Gu Yang drew his Phoenix Feather Knife, a surge of crimson fire shot up to the sky, and instantly broke through the pervasive black fog around him.

“Divine Power?”

Gu Yunfei was shocked by the overwhelming aura that he felt.

Just a short while ago, he hadn’t reached the realm of Divine Power yet.

Had he finally attained Divine Power after visiting the Demon Suppression Tower?

Gu Yunfei didn’t know what to say. For some, the chasm to achieving Divine Power seemed non-existent, they could break through it as if it were as easy as eating or drinking.

He suddenly remembered a fact. Gu Yang was only twenty-two years old.

Twenty-two years old and already in the realm of Divine Power!

He swallowed hard. Gu Yang might possibly be the youngest to have reached the realm of Divine Power since the rankings were established.

The previous record holder was Qin Wu, the ancestor of the Qin Family. He stepped into the realm of Divine Power at twenty-eight, earning the reputation as the most gifted in a millennium.

Now that record had been shortened to twenty-two years.

When Gu Yunfei thought of himself, who was already twenty-four and still far from First Rank, let alone Divine Power, he felt a sense of despair.

Those in attendance who were at the realm of Divine Power had already realized that Gu Yang had reached this level. They were still surprised at this moment.

The solidity of this young man’s True Essence was beyond comprehension, far from being a novice in the realm. Even those who had been in the realm of Divine Power for decades paled in comparison.

“How did this kid cultivate?”

“Huh?”

A disciple of the Nether Sect, Shang Qinglin, felt a sense of unease in his heart. Gu Yang’s True Essence somehow managed to block his omnipotent corpse energy.

Their Nether Sect’s ability to move unhindered in the world, striking fear into the hearts of countless others in the realm of Divine Power, relied on their use of this corpse energy.

This was the black fog that permeated the surroundings.

This corpse energy specialized in attacking the mortal body. Once it made contact with skin, the body would be infected, limiting movement, and ultimately causing loss of mobility.

Furthermore, the corpse energy was pervasive. It was very difficult to disperse it with True Essence alone.

Only those in the Mana Realm could stand fearless against the corpse energy.

Earlier, Shang Qinglin had spoken at length, wary of that strange Blue Bird while hoping to silently infect it with his corpse energy.

Who knew that Gu Yang’s True Essence would prove to be the nemesis of the corpse energy, burning as fiercely as fire.

“Kill!”

Seeing his plan thwarted, Shang Qinglin gave a stern yell and launched his attack.

The four corpse creations of the Golden Body Realm immediately sprang into action, all attacking Gu Yang at once.

After becoming corpse creations, their speed had taken on a ghostlike quality.

But no matter how fast they were, they weren’t faster than Gu Yang’s sword.

The first strike of the Heavenly Inquiry Nine Knives, Chaos Unleashed!

Presently, as he executed this move, its power surged more than tenfold.

It was only after he reached the realm of Divine Power that he was able to truly harness the might of this saber technique.

As he swung his saber, it was as if he was opening up the heavens and the earth!

Everyone present felt as if they were enveloped by the flash of his blade. There seemed to be nowhere to hide, nowhere to evade.

Several people instinctively drew their weapons, hoping to defend against it.

Even Gu Qingchuan, who was the most advanced in the cultivation level present, nearly drew out his blade.

As the light of the saber faded, many people’s backs were soaked in cold sweat. The way they looked at Gu Yang had completely changed—it was as if they were looking at a ghost.

Had he truly just broken through to Divine Power Realm?

Gu Qingchuan’s hand was on the hilt of his blade. As he looked at Gu Yang, a storm raged in his heart.

Even with that swing, he wasn’t entirely sure that he could have blocked it.

Part of this was undoubtedly due to the Heavenly Inquiry Nine Knives, an unmatched saber technique in the world. However, it also proved that Gu Yang’s strength was incomparable to that of a regular cultivator in the first realm of the Golden Body.

“No”

On the other end, Shang Qinglin groaned at the sight of Gu Yang splitting all of his corpse creations in half with a single swing. His heart ached as if it were bleeding.

Out of the four corpse creations, three were rewarded to him by his master after a battle eighteen years ago.

In all these years, he had only managed to acquire one more corpse creation.

He never expected that a novice Golden Body Realm cultivator would be able to destroy his corpse creations with a single swing of his blade.

“I will kill you!”
