Chapter 508
Chapter 508
The moment he came back to life, Gu Chen felt as if it had been a lifetime ago.
In a single day, he had grown from a young man to an old man. He had also experienced the separation of life and death. This was an experience that ordinary people had never experienced.
"What happened …"
His consciousness was a bit muddled. He did not understand how he could come back to life when he had clearly died.
For a moment, he thought he was dreaming, but the joyful faces that came into view were so real.
Finally, he slowly returned to reality and immediately noticed the changes in his body.
The Heavenly Tyrant Bone in his body was covered in cracks and no longer had any divine power, but he felt that his body was abnormally strong.
He found that his cultivation had inexplicably reached the peak of the Heaven Tier, and his meridians and organs were strong and powerful.
What was even more strange was that he felt that the vitality of the world was especially close to him, as if he only needed to think about it and it would be under his control.
These wonderful feelings did not seem like those of someone who had died once. Gu Chen was shocked.
"How do you feel?"
Gu Yuan and the others looked at Gu Chen nervously. Gu Chen got up at this time and could move his body freely.
He looked around and quickly noticed that the rainbow-colored tree that was originally full of fruits was now empty. He could not help but ask in surprise.
"How did I come back to life?" His voice was no different from before.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had really come back to life!
They hurriedly told him what had happened, and Gu Chen came to a realization. He could not help but pick up the white ape and laughed.
"So it was you who saved me."
The white ape was so happy that it danced and squeaked non-stop. Seeing this, everyone laughed along with it.
"Master, do you feel any abnormalities in your body?"
At this time, the green ox was worried. It used a secret technique to peek into Gu Chen's body and found that the aura of death was condensing at the center of his brows. This was a sign that his lifespan was coming to an end and he did not have much time left.
However, the other parts of Gu Chen's body were full of vitality. These two opposite states appearing in a person's body at the same time had never been seen before!
Not only did the green ox notice, but many Saints also noticed, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
The process of Gu Chen's resurrection was beyond their understanding of this world, and they did not understand what was going on.
With everyone's reminder, Gu Chen closed his eyes and looked inside his body. His Divine Sense extended to the spot between his eyebrows where the Death Qi gathered.
As soon as his Divine Sense sensed the Death Qi, he felt as if he had fallen into a world of ice and snow, and he felt a bone-chilling coldness!
Gu Chen could clearly sense that although the Death Qi was trapped in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, it did not dissipate. Instead, it was slowly spreading in all directions.
His heart suddenly sank. It seemed that his crisis was not truly over.
"Amitabha. Benefactor Gu, let this old monk take your pulse."
At this time, Puji Holy Monk walked past the crowd.
Gu Chen did not refuse.
He felt his pulse for a while, and his expression became uncertain. "Almsgiver Gu's body is full of vitality, but the Death Qi is not dispersing. Instead, it seems to be expanding. I'm afraid …"
"I'm afraid he only has one year left to live."
At that moment, a man with a sinister aura strode in from outside the Kunlun Ruins.
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, and everyone present became vigilant at the same time.
The Ghost Emperor!
He actually left the Ghastly Ruins!
Although the Ghost Emperor was Gu Chen's ally, he had a strange personality and unfathomable strength. Everyone was naturally wary of him.
"You said that Chen 'er only has one year left to live. Is that true?"
Shen Yu Shu was only concerned about his son's condition. He could not help but ask when he heard the Ghost Emperor's words.
The Ghost Emperor nodded with a gloomy expression.
Among everyone present, he was the person who was the closest to breaking through the Heavenly Being Limit, and he had even failed to do so.
He had lived for a long time and was extremely sensitive to lifespan. Especially since he was a ghost cultivator, he was especially sensitive to the Death Qi in Gu Chen's body.
"Although the fruit of the rainbow tree resurrected him, it only helped him extend his life. He had already exhausted his lifespan. Logically speaking, he would definitely die at the end of his lifespan. It's already a miracle that he can live for another year. "
Everyone looked at Gu Chen's white hair and realized that the Ghost Emperor's speculation was probably correct.
"It's already a great fortune to be able to resurrect. If I can only live for a year, so be it."
Gu Chen smiled. He had paid such a huge price in exchange for power. To him, he was already very lucky to still be alive.
"How can we extend his lifespan? Will there be any use in consuming elixirs that can prolong his lifespan? "
Gu Chen did not care, but the others could not. They all asked questions.
"No matter how good the elixir is, how can it compare to the spirit fruit he consumed earlier? The life essence in his body is already extremely abundant, but it still cannot dispel the Death Qi in his Niwan Palace. This means that external things are of little help to him. "
The Ghost Emperor's words made everyone's hearts heavy. Then, he suddenly changed the topic. "If he wants to extend his life now, there's only one way."
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at him.
"If he can break through to a higher realm, his lifespan will naturally increase."
The Ghost Emperor's words made the Sages present frown.
"It's as good as not saying anything. Since ancient times, no one has been able to break through the Heavenly Being Limit. Even the old Heavenly Emperor couldn't do it!"
The Rose Killing God could not help but say.
"That's just someone else. It doesn't mean that he can't do it."
The Ghost Emperor said. The Sages were shocked!
That's right, just because others couldn't do it did not mean that the Overlord couldn't do it. He had already created so many miracles and stood at the peak of the Kunlun Continent at such a young age. Who could say that he could not break through to a realm that no one had reached since ancient times?
"But, there's only one year …"
The eyes of Zhao Rou and the rest dimmed. They believed that with Brother Gu's talent, if he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to reach a realm that no one had reached before. However, he only had one year to live now. How could he break through the Kunlun Continent's limit in such a short time?
"One year is enough!"
Gu Yuan suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
His words made everyone look at him in surprise. Even the Ghost Emperor took a deep look at him.
When he arrived outside the Kunlun Ruins, he had noticed the old man's existence. He could sense the same aura as the Overlord from him, the same aura as the person from 85,555 years ago.
Although this person had no cultivation base at all, it did not affect his high evaluation of him.
"Looks like he'll tell you the way. Overlord, when you find the way, I hope you can meet me. After all, we still have an agreement to fulfill."
After saying that, the Ghost Emperor turned around and left. In a few steps, his figure disappeared.
Gu Chen looked at his back and then at his grandfather.
