Chapter 1229

"Benefactor Gu, dodge quickly. This... this guy is undefeatable."

Abbot Ruochen, who was lying on the ground, had woken up and spoke in a weak voice.

"Mmm, he is indeed very strong."

Gu Chen didn't turn around. Just facing Fang Wen head-on would require him to give it his all.

"Benefactor Gu, this old monk has let you down. This old monk was foolish and arrogant!"

Abbot Ruoshan had ended a tragedy because of Gu Chen's intervention. At this moment, he was filled with remorse.

He had been disrespectful to Gu Chen previously. Now that he thought about it, he was simply gauging the heart of a gentleman by his own standards!

"Gu Chen, Gu Chen. I'm curious how long you can last against a power that is 655 times stronger than yours."

Fang Wen walked towards Gu Chen slowly. The surroundings had already become his absolute domain and he was clearly fearless.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and his eyes flickered.

"If you have the ability, don't borrow the Buddhist power of the Great Thunderclap Monastery and fight me head-on."

Fang Wen smiled lightly and revealed a mocking expression. "It seems like you have exhausted your limited abilities. Do you think I'm a hot-blooded fool like Xiong Jun. Do you think I'll let go of such a great advantage and give you a chance?

"I, Fang Wen, never give my enemies any chance."

As he spoke, he was already within 85 feet of Gu Chen. His palm slammed down slowly, aiming for the top of Gu Chen's head!

The Buddhist power that filled the sky gathered towards his palm like a funnel. This palm was enough to kill a Dao Querying sovereign!

Gu Chen's eyes widened as he stared at Fang Wen's palm. It was as though it occupied the entire world and was unparalleled.

At this moment, black vortexes appeared on his hands and feet one after another. A power that was even stronger than the Great Thunderclap Monastery's Buddhist power gushed out from his body!

Boom —

His body, which was originally suppressed, instantly regained its ability to move. His figure was like a flickering shadow and he dodged Fang Wen's palm with a speed that surpassed his limits. His shoulder slammed heavily into Fang Wen's chest!

Bang, bang, bang!

Fang Wen, who was originally unstoppable, seemed as if he'd been struck by a primordial demonic mountain. He let out a muffled groan as he spat out fresh blood violently, and his entire body was blasted flying. He smashed through over ten Buddhist halls in succession before he managed to stop his momentum. His knees staggered as he knelt on the ground!

This strange change happened so suddenly that Qiu Mengyi, who was flying towards the Great Tempest Temple, noticed it immediately. Her face was filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

She was not the only one. Abbot Ruo Chen, who had managed to crawl to his feet with great difficulty, also had a look of astonishment on his face. He stared at Gu Chen, who had boundless energy gushing out from his body!

At this moment, Gu Chen's Quadruple Black Hole was fully activated. His entire body floated in midair, and his black hair danced in the wind, making him look like a demon or a god.

Nine-coloured Qi kept seeping out from the black whirlpool and it was mixed with strands of black-grey Qi. It was this energy that helped him resist the Buddhist energy of the Great Tempest Temple. Even Fang Wen, who was an Emperor, could not do anything against this energy!

"The Buddhist energy that the Great Tempest Temple has accumulated for millions of years is actually incomparable to the energy within Almsgiver Gu's body?"

Abbot Ruo Chen mumbled to himself. He now deeply understood why this person had been able to unify the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm.

"Master, Gu Chen, he …"

Ye Qingshuang stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her master with a strange expression on her face.

Her master had said with certainty that Gu Chen would definitely lose. However, she did not expect that his sudden eruption would actually injure Fang Wen so badly that he had to kneel on the ground!

"How did he do that? He's just a Boundary Emperor, how could his body contain such boundless energy? "

Qiu Mengyi lost her composure and mumbled to herself.

Gu Chen's entire body was enveloped by nine-coloured light and a black-grey smoke was moving about within it. He looked coldly at Fang Wen, who was slowly rising to his feet from the ruins.

Fang Wen's chest had completely caved in at this moment. He spat out pieces of his internal organs.

"That's the Celestial Qi from the ruins of the Immortal Realm. To think that there's such a huge amount of it …"

He stared at Gu Chen, his expression filled with fear.

No matter how strong the Buddhist power that the senior monks of the Tempest Temple had gathered over the generations was, how could it compare to the vast Celestial Qi from the Immortal Realm?

With his experience, he could tell with one glance that Gu Chen had used the vast Celestial Qi to break through his suppression and successfully ambush him!

"I don't know any Taoist techniques that can capture spirits and release energy, but if you think that you can defeat me so easily, aren't you a little too naive?"

Gu Chen laughed coldly.

The black hole in his body contained the Origin Energy of the Netherworld, the Origin Energy of Formations, and the Origin Energy of Thunder. Coupled with the vast amount of Celestial Qi it had absorbed before the Immortal Realm collapsed, the power it possessed was so great that it far surpassed Fang Wen's.

Fang Wen's attempt to use the Buddhist power of the Tempest Temple to suppress him was like a child's play in front of an expert.

One must know that the Origin Energy stored in the black hole was used for his breakthrough and did not belong to him. However, after a long period of research, he was able to borrow a portion of it.

"I've underestimated you. You are indeed capable to be able to defeat so many geniuses from the Hundred Realms."

Fang Wen quickly calmed down from his shock and wiped the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and turned white.

"Ah — —"

A shrill cry came from a corner in the distance. The chest of a disciple from the Joyous Sect suddenly caved in, resembling Fang Wen's injury. Then, his entire body exploded into a mist of blood, losing his life!

As for Fang Wen himself, his caved in chest rapidly returned to normal. His injuries were healed, and his aura became stable once again!

This strange scene caused Gu Chen's eyes to narrow. From what he could sense, there were traces of invisible entanglements between the dead disciple and Fang Wen.

It was as though he had exchanged a life for a life. Fang Wen had used the life of another to cancel out Gu Chen's sneak attack!

"If I'm not wrong, you possess an unimaginably powerful cultivation technique or Taoist technique. I never thought that such a cultivation technique would exist in the Ninth Realm."

A hint of greed appeared in Fang Wen's eyes. To be able to go against one's own realm to absorb such a huge amount of energy, the cultivation technique or Taoist technique that the other party possessed was definitely not inferior to his Fang Family's Soul Capture and Source Release!

At the moment, he was unable to determine the origin of that cultivation technique. However, its value might even surpass that of a Chaotic Primal Stone!

"Other than Soul Capture and Source Release, is there another Fate Changing Technique?"

Gu Chen frowned as he looked at Fang Wen. It had not been easy for him to succeed in his sneak attack. He had thought that he would be able to end the other party quickly. Who would have thought that Fang Wen would possess another terrifying Taoist technique?

He did not know how many more times that Fate Changing Technique could be used. If it could be used endlessly, how could he win this battle?

"Man with a bamboo hat is still nowhere to be found, but I'm being held up by him!"

Gu Chen clenched his fists tightly. Amidst the smoke-filled Mount Meru, he could no longer see the situation clearly.

At this moment, in the back mountain of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, beside an ancient Bodhi tree.

A yellow-robed man wearing a bamboo hat and a majestic and huge black dog had passed through the chaotic battlefield and arrived here.

"After planning for so long, we've finally reached this step. Haha, jie …"

Man with a bamboo hat cackled eerily. He glanced into the distance as if he had sensed something.

"From the looks of it, although Gu Chen has grown quite a bit, he's currently in a tough battle," he mocked.

Beside him, the black dog had a complicated look in its eyes. It looked at Man with a bamboo hat, but it did not have the hatred it should have. "Are you really ready?"

"Yes, this is the only choice I have." Man with a bamboo hat haha.

The black dog fell silent. Man with a bamboo hat came before the Bodhi tree and reached into the ground.

A wooden box quickly flew out from the ground where the roots of the Bodhi tree had coiled and landed in the hands of Man with a bamboo hat.

He opened the wooden box. The black dog leaned forward to take a look. There was only a finger bone in the wooden box.

This finger bone was golden in color, like jade. It flowed with the radiance of Buddha. Looking through it, the bone was densely covered with countless swastikas, as if Buddhas were chanting.
