Chapter 1143
"I won't let him die."
Gu Chen looked at the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen. At this moment, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, calm and unfathomable.
After listening to the story of the Heavenly Sovereign and the Kunlun Divine Emperor, he was greatly moved.
The regret left behind by the Primordial Age should be made up for in this era.
He could not let the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen die. Even if he saved Kunlun from danger, who could tell the will of the Heavenly Sovereign and the Divine Emperor?
The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen was the witness of history. If he could survive, the conflict between immortals and gods would truly melt away.
"What can you do?"
Feng Yaya smiled bitterly. She felt that Gu Chen was overestimating himself.
From their conversation, she could tell that this man's status in the Ninth Realm was indeed extraordinary, but in this chaotic time and space, Duan Gu was the king.
Although the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen had given him a way to resolve this crisis, it was as good as not saying anything. How could he fight against Duan Gu with his so-called 'heart'?
Gu Chen did not speak. He walked forward and held the body of the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen in one hand and placed his other hand on the wound on Feng Zhen's chest with a nine-colored celestial light.
A mysterious aura escaped from the wound. After sensing Gu Chen's presence, it suddenly released a powerful suction force!
Hum —
Gu Chen's thick hair showed signs of turning from black to white. Meanwhile, the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen seemed to be hanging on to his last breath. A little light returned to his dim eyes.
"Little Gu, what are you doing?"
The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen struggled to ask.
He did not have much time left, but Gu Chen had interfered and extended the time to Duan Gu on his behalf, thus giving him a chance to catch his breath.
But this way, Gu Chen would take Duan Gu's secret technique on his behalf. It would cost him his life!
"Are you crazy? Who would wash their own necks and wait for others to chop them? "
Feng Yaya exclaimed in shock and anger. She had originally thought that cooperating with Gu Chen might be able to contend against Duan Gu, but Gu Chen's current behavior had directly shattered her hopes.
"Shut up."
Gu Chen looked at Feng Yaya coldly, then closed his eyes and immersed his mind into the wound left by Duan Gu.
"Don't you want more time? I'm the successor of the Celestial Thearch, show yourself if you have the ability! "
Gu Chen's consciousness seemed to plunge into the ocean, following the mysterious connection left by the secret technique, searching for the time and space where Duan Gu was.
"Hehe, interesting. Someone actually took the initiative to die."
Duan Gu transmitted his Divine Sense into Gu Chen's mind.
"Sky Emperor's successor? According to what I've seen from the Kunlun God Emperor's memories, the Heavenly Emperor's abilities are nothing much. "
He teased, then added. "But it's better than nothing. Give me your life!"
As soon as he finished, the speed at which Gu Chen's hair turned from black to white suddenly increased, and wrinkles gradually appeared on his face.
"Quickly cut off the connection!"
Feng Yaya said anxiously.
"It's too late. The secret technique has already spread to little friend Gu!"
Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's expression turned ugly. He knew how terrifying Duan Gu's Time Stealing Secret Technique was. Once Gu Chen took the initiative to enter the trap, it would be difficult for him to escape.
He had hoped that Gu Chen could untie the knot in his ancestor's heart and save Kunlun from the crisis, but he did not expect him to do something that looked like he was going to die.
What was he thinking?
Taoist Priest Feng Zhen could not understand. He watched as Gu Chen aged rapidly.
Gu Chen's time was being stolen by Duan Gu at an extreme speed. Duan Gu's attainment in time was far superior to Gu Chen's, and during the process, Gu Chen almost had no way to resist.
However, Gu Chen appeared exceptionally calm, his Divine Sense spreading out.
"Found it!"
When all his black hair had turned into white silks, Gu Chen's eyes opened abruptly, emitting a sharp glint.
Using the connection between the secret techniques, he had finally found where Duan Gu was hiding!
"Hehe, so what if you know my location?"
"I kind of understand what you're thinking now. You want to find my location and kill me, taking back the time that I stole from Taoist Feng Zhen and you."
"If you succeed, the risk you're taking will be worth it."
"However, everything you're planning must be built on the premise that your attainment in time far surpasses mine. Otherwise, everything will just be empty talk."
"You think you can defeat me in the Valley of Time?"
Duan Gu's tone was full of disdain.
Gu Chen remained expressionless. He removed his hand from Taoist Priest Feng Zhen and stood up.
Almost at the same time, the aura of time surged out of his body. Two illusionary figures appeared on both sides of him.
The figure on the left was still a young man. It was him when he was seventeen years old, full of vigor and fearlessness.
The figure on the right was tall and stalwart, but his face was blurred.
Past Self, Present Self, and Future Self!
Gu Chen performed the Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist. He who existed in the past, present, and future once again manifested in the same space-time!
The Past Self soon disappeared, and Gu Chen's Present Self walked into the Future Self. The two figures merged into one!
His hair soon turned black and lush again, so long that it reached the ground. His body also grew taller.
The outline of the Future Self became clearer. It was not much different from the current Gu Chen, except for the addition of a powerful aura that could crush the ages!
Duan Gu, who was in another space-time, sensed the change. His pupils contracted.
"I might not be able to defeat you now, but the future me can destroy you with a flip of my palm."
Gu Chen's Future Self spoke coldly. He took a step forward and tore apart the chaotic space-time, chasing after Duan Gu!
"That guy, is he crazy?"
Feng Yaya gasped. The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's heart was also in turmoil.
That was a forbidden space-time secret art. To obtain power from the future, one would have to pay an unimaginable price!
Gu Chen was like an emperor descending upon the Nine Heavens. He tore apart the chaotic space-time in the blink of an eye and arrived at the space-time where Duan Gu was!
The one who appeared before him was a demonic young man. He was very different from the dying old man that Feng Yaya had described.
It was obvious that Duan Gu had repaired his Daoist foundation by plundering the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen's origin. He had reached a near-invincible state!
"You really are a crazy man."
Duan Gu looked at the stalwart monarch in front of him. After being stunned for a while, a hint of fear appeared on his face.
Using one's own lifespan as the price to forcefully stimulate one's growth and summon one's future self was a secret art that all cultivators of time knew.
With his level of attainment, he could do it as well, but he would never do it.
The more power one obtained by using this secret art, the greater the price one would have to pay once the secret art's duration ended.
Judging from how easily the other party tore apart the space-time to find his power, the price he had to pay was his life!
In other words, the other party did not want to live at all. He wanted to die together with Duan Gu!
A madman who did not care about his own life was very dangerous. Although the other party's power was fleeting like fireworks, the momentary power was real.
