Chapter 1896

They could only pin their hopes on Gu Chen now!

He had been by Gu Chen's side for a while now. The longer he followed him, the more he realized how unfathomable Gu Chen was.

He had more or less guessed the reason for the huge commotion ahead. Therefore, after clenching his teeth, he made up his mind to wait here.

Even if waiting here meant that there was nothing he could do and that he might be caught in the crossfire, he had to do this.

Ever since he left the Barren Swamp with Gu Chen, he and Gu Chen had already shared the same destiny!

…

Deep underground, endless fire elemental energy gathered around Old Crow, turning into a giant three-legged golden crow.

The golden crow's wings were fully spread out, spanning tens of thousands of meters and piercing through countless layers of rock.

At the very front of the body made of fire, the golden crow pecked at an area shrouded in golden light. In that area, there was a tiny human.

Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!

Under the golden crow's attack, the golden area managed to hold on, but the earth's crust could not withstand the impact of the two sides and continued to collapse.

Tens of thousands of meters, 05,555 meters, 655,555 meters, 855,555 meters …

There seemed to be no end to the underground. The deeper they went, the higher the temperature became, and the power of the golden crow became more and more terrifying.

Whoa. Whoa.

Inside the Ba Nation, Gu Chen spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead and instantly turned into smoke when it touched the ground.

The Glorious Ancient Overlord Body should not have been afraid of heat or cold, and all the rules in the Ba Nation should have been ineffective. However, he was still being eroded by the heat, which showed how much pressure Old Crow was exerting.

After the clone returned, Old Crow's cultivation had reached the peak of the Seven Fold State, and he was only one step away from the Saint State.

As the tide rose, Old Crow's control over the power of the world in the ancestral ground became even more terrifying. It was as if he was attacking Gu Chen with the power of the entire world.

Under these circumstances, even the Ba Nation could not withstand it. Gu Chen's internal organs felt like they were on fire, and he felt an unprecedented pressure!

"Is this my current limit?"

Gu Chen's feet were planted on the ground as if he was sitting on a stake. The veins on his arms were completely bulging. Under his messy black hair, a pair of golden eyes burned fiercely with fighting spirit.

Ever since he awakened the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body a hundred years ago, he never knew where his limits were, even when he was suppressing the dark chaos.

After coming to the Dao World, he had met a few experts, such as the Luo Sect's Great Prophet and the Hidden Dragon Clan's Clan Leader.

However, he had never fought with them with his full strength, so he still didn't know the limits of his Tyrant Body.

Until today, when he was faced with the Old Crow, who was determined to kill him, and his Glorious Ancient Overlord Body attacked without holding back, he finally knew his limit.

It had been a long time since Gu Chen felt a life-or-death crisis in a battle, but he did not feel any anger towards Old Crow. Instead, he felt a trace of respect.

He could tell that Old Crow, who was only one step away from the Saint Realm, was deliberately suppressing himself from breaking through. Otherwise, his Daoist power wouldn't be so close to the hundred million mark.

The Saint Realm needed to undergo the Tribulation of the Saint Realm. As long as one survived this tribulation, he would be promoted to a real big shot in the Dao World.

However, if he failed to pass the tribulation, he would be crippled like Emperor Sheng, or his soul would be destroyed. Therefore, not everyone had the courage to try.

Old Crow did not seem like the kind of person who did not even have the courage to try. Therefore, there was only one reason why he had delayed breaking through.

After Emperor Sheng failed to pass the tribulation, he needed protection. The Great Sheng Dynasty also needed a guardian.

If Old Crow failed to pass the tribulation, then the Great Sheng Dynasty would face an unprecedented crisis. Emperor Sheng's enemies would not let him go.

Therefore, in order to protect Emperor Sheng and the Great Sheng Dynasty, Old Crow chose not to break through.

This was hard to imagine for a person who was determined to walk the path of cultivation. How loyal and righteous must one be? How foolish must one be to be able to do this?

It was no wonder that Emperor Sheng had placed all his chips on Old Crow. There was a strong bond between them that ordinary people could not imagine!

Gu Chen had a lot of respect for Old Crow. He didn't hold any grudges against Emperor Sheng, who had set up this trap.

To put it bluntly, it was a battle of standpoints. Emperor Sheng and Old Crow wanted to protect their Great Sheng Dynasty. Meanwhile, Gu Chen wanted to place his chess piece on the chessboard of the Dao World, which had been in place for many years. He wanted to stir up the endless storm!

He was not a person who would settle down. To everyone in this world, he was a troublemaker!

This battle had nothing to do with justice or evil. It was a battle of standpoints and beliefs!

Crack. Crack.

Under Old Crow's attack, the Great Sheng Dynasty finally could not withstand it. The golden buildings began to collapse one by one. The terrifying power of fire poured down on Gu Chen's body.

His body shone brilliantly. Every inch of his golden flesh and blood was intertwined with electricity. He withstood the endless light and heat.

Rumble!

The rock layer that he was standing on could not withstand it again. It seemed that he had finally reached the bottom. Gu Chen fell directly into the boiling magma!

He quickly climbed out of the magma. The flesh and blood of his Tyrant Body gradually became thinner under the roasting flames. His entire body exuded an even more vigorous aura.

"Screech —"

Old Crow transformed into a giant Golden Crow shadow and attacked again. The space at the end of the Ancestor's Land was extremely vast. The fire energy was also purer. It was extremely convenient for Old Crow to move.

Gu Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath. Even the air was extremely hot.

"Looks like I can only use the top nine magical powers …"

He murmured. At the same time, he looked around to make sure that there were no other dangers.

Although he had unsealed the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body during his fight with Old Crow, he had only used the Tyrant Body magical powers that he had mastered a long time ago.

As the strongest physique of the Tyrants, the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body had unique magical powers that no other Tyrant Body could replicate!

Back then, Gu Chen had received the Tyrant's inheritance treasure book from Li Wuwei. In the treasure book, there were nine powerful magical powers created by the nine Glorious Ancient Overlord Bodies in the history of the Tyrants.

These nine magical powers were known as the top nine magical powers!

During the hundred years of suppressing the darkness chaos, Gu Chen had relied on his own comprehension and Zhou Fengling's help to explore the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body from scratch. He had also made some gains in the cultivation of the top nine magical powers.

Each of these nine unparalleled magical powers was extremely difficult to cultivate. After a hundred years, Gu Chen had only learned three of them.

As for the other six, he was either unable to cultivate them or the inheritance left in the treasure book was not complete enough.

Although he had only learned three, Gu Chen's talent still amazed Zhou Fengling. He even had tears in his eyes.

The top nine magical powers had once represented the glory of the Tyrants. They had suppressed all the other races in the world.

Because of its uniqueness, Zhou Fengling had made Gu Chen promise him that he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Old Crow's strength had forced Gu Chen into a corner. Today was the day when the top nine magical powers were reborn!
