Chapter 1478

Everyone had some guesses about the old man's background due to the Devouring Kun clan leader's rare respectful attitude.

He was a legendary figure with extremely high qualifications. Although no one had seen him display any strength in the battle at the Xing Realm, it did not mean that he was weak.

To everyone, he looked like he was on the verge of death. However, he had survived such a tragic battle and even successfully saved the leader's woman. That was already very impressive.

"Gu Chen, you've fought the main body of the Door of Dao and Decay. You should know, right?"

The hunchbacked old man did not directly answer the Devouring Kun clan leader's question. Instead, he looked at Gu Chen and asked meaningfully.

Gu Chen nodded solemnly and asked humbly, "Senior, how powerful is Dao Lord Xing?"

The current Gu Chen already had the strength to kill ninth firmament Dao Querying cultivators, and it was not too difficult for him to kill them.

However, he still felt the huge gap between them when he faced the Gate of Dao and Decay. If it wasn't for the protection of the Eternal Golden Core and Kong Sheng who used the Gate of Dao and Decay, Gu Chen knew that he had no chance of winning at all.

No matter how powerful a mythical weapon was, it was created by Dao Lord Xing. Dao Lord Xing's strength was far from the ordinary Dao Severing realm!

The hunchbacked old man was very satisfied when he saw that Gu Chen did not pretend to understand and was humbly asking for advice.

"Everyone knows that there are nine heavens in the Dao Querying realm, but very few people know about the higher realm, the Dao Severing realm.

"That's not strange. Dao Lords are already existences at the peak of the Chaos Sea. How can ordinary people know about their pursuit of cultivation? If you want to understand them, you can only sense them when you're at the same realm.

"The Old Man is actually not too sure about the gap between Dao Lords, but there are about a hundred Dao Lords in the Chaos Sea now. The Old Man dares to say that Dao Lord Xing is definitely in the top twenty. His strength far surpasses that of ordinary Dao Lords, so he's definitely not someone who can be defeated by numbers. "

As soon as the hunchbacked old man finished speaking, everyone present felt their hearts sink to the bottom. Gu Chen got a definite answer, so he clenched his fists subconsciously.

The difference between the nine heavens of the Dao Querying realm was already huge. The Dao Severing realm was a major realm, so everyone knew the difference between it and the Dao Querying realm.

If Dao Lord Xing's strength was only at the early-stage Dao Severing realm, with the might of Gu Chen's cauldron and everyone's desperation, there might be a way.

However, since Daolord Xing was no ordinary Daolord, everyone's previous assessments of his chances of victory were now meaningless.

The old man's words were very straightforward, which dealt everyone's enthusiasm.

The old man's words were very straightforward, which severely affected everyone's enthusiasm.

Logic told them that they should first strengthen their own forces before clashing head-on with Dao Lord Xing. However, this matter concerned the life and death of Gu Chen's family and friends. How could they advise him?

Gu Chen closed his eyes and did not speak. He was not afraid of a battle with Dao Lord Xing. What he was thinking about was whether he could bear the consequences of this battle.

If he lost, he would not be able to protect his parents, wife, and children. Countless lives in the Ninth Realm would also cease to exist.

"Uncle Gu …"

Feng Yaya looked at Gu Chen's solemn expression and felt guilty. If not for her, Gu Chen would not be facing such a serious crisis.

She knew how much Gu Chen valued his hometown. Whether he fought or not, his hometown would be destroyed. How could he choose?

"Gu Chen, given our current strength, we cannot protect the Ninth Realm. However, the Old Man has another way to ensure its safety. I just don't know if you are willing to pay the price."

The hunchbacked old man looked at Gu Chen, who was deep in thought, and rubbed his chin.

Swoosh!

Gu Chen's eyes suddenly opened.

…

In the Chaos Sea, in front of an endless Chaos Barrier, more than a hundred extremely powerful figures were gathered there.

At this moment, vortexes appeared in the vast Chaos Barrier. The vortexes overflowed with nine-colored light and emitted a terrifying aura of destruction.

Even the hundred supreme Dao Lords who ruled over the entire Chaos Sea cautiously avoided the vortexes with solemn expressions.

"The Realm Wave has appeared. The Realm Sea is not far from opening again. At that time, the Emissary from the Upper Realm will cross the sea again. We have to make preparations first. "

"It is time for the Chaos Myriad Spirit Ranking battle to begin again!"

A majestic light figure said, his voice full of vigor.

"It has been a long time since the Realm Sea last opened. There are quite a few unfamiliar faces gathered here this time," another light figure said with some emotion.

"There is nothing we can do. If we are not chosen by the Emissary from the Upper Realm, we will have to face the dark turmoil after the Realm Sea disappears."

"Every time there is a dark turmoil, countless living beings will die. Even for us Dao Lords, it is normal for us to die."

Another light figure replied indifferently.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is a major figure who has survived five dark upheavals. You are indeed very confident in your words." An evil voice sounded, the words carried a hint of mockery and arrogance.

"Fellow Daoist Su, although you have only survived four dark upheavals, you are a rising star. I dare not compare to you."

The light figure from before replied coldly.

The two clearly did not see eye to eye. They spoke tit for tat, but the other light figures did not seem to be surprised. They did not participate and began to talk about other topics.

"What is going on with Dao Lord Xing and Dao Lord Crazy? There seems to be something wrong with the two of them. "

"Hehe, isn't it because the quintessence of nature has appeared again? Dao Lord Crazy lost to Li Wuwei, and he has always been brooding over it. Now that Li Wuwei's successor has become Dao Lord Xing's subordinate, it has naturally touched his sensitive nerves."

"Dao Lord Xing is playing with fire. However, given his strength, he has no need to fear Dao Lord Crazy. It really is strange. He clearly lost his head for no reason, but he is even more powerful than he was during the last dark upheaval. "

"Dao Lord Xing's movements in recent years have always been unfathomable, and Li Wuwei's disappearance is an even bigger mystery. It is best not to provoke this fellow."

The many light figures conversed in secret, and the topic of their conversation gradually turned to the distant, headless Dao Lord Xing.

Dao Lord Xing stood there by himself, clearly out of place with the other Dao Lords. He stared at the distant Realmwave, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Even when he still had his head, he had already been unfathomable. Now that he had lost his head, no one was able to tell what he was truly thinking.

Hum …

As Dao Lord Xing was observing the Realmwave, he suddenly sensed something and raised a hand.

An illusory door appeared in his hand, and a crack suddenly appeared at the edges of the door!

Boom!
