Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1015 - 88: The Metamorphosis of the True Sun Fire

The emergence of the Sun Essence drew various mystical creatures from the Ancient Path Site, where everyone assumed that Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan would take the lead and claim it. However, an unexpected upset occurred.

In the clash of fire mastery, Gu Bai, whom no one had high hopes for, actually suppressed Yan Qi, leaving everyone in astonishment.

Some even thought they were seeing things, rubbing their eyes numerous times, only to realize with a cry of surprise that the scene before them remained the same.

Who was Yan Qi? The strongest prodigy of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, and the mastery of fire, or rather the Sun True Fire, was the specialty of both the Sun Divine Sparrow and Yan Qi himself.

Being at a disadvantage in his own area of expertise, even Yan Qi himself felt extremely uncomfortable.

"How could this be…" He was extremely unwilling, his eyes nearly shooting fire, his light-gold hair surging towards the sky like blazing flames.

Yan Qi knew he had been careless!

He had been too careless, or rather underestimated his opponent, never expecting Gu Chen to possess such strength in the realm of fire, matching him blow for blow.

Sun True Fire raged violently within his belly, a pain so intense it caused Yan Qi to lose color, his handsome face twisted in agony.

He became a "fire man," with every pore, including his mouth, spewing flames outward, and they were Sun True Fire at that, turning the crowd ashen.

This scene further infuriated Yan Qi, it was too humiliating, he had never been in such a situation before!

"Roar!"

Yan Qi roared, his body shrouded in dense firelight. Wrapped in his own Sun True Fire, he charged at Gu Chen once more.

As a prodigy of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, he could let go of the Sun Essence, but not this humiliation—it had to be cleansed!

In contrast to the enraged Yan Qi, Gu Chen's eyes remained calm, and during this brief interval, he simply waved his sleeve and collected the ball of Sun Essence.

"Go to hell!"

Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan approached Gu Chen, his anger boiling over. The overwhelming Sun True Fire surged towards Gu Chen like a tidal wave, attempting to engulf him.

"In the realm of fire, I reign supreme. Petty skills, dare you show off in front of me?" Gu Chen said with a smile in his eyes, throwing Yan Qi's words right back at him.

Boom!

The next moment, without another word, Gu Chen summoned the ball of Sun Essence he had just collected and absorbed all of Yan Qi's attacks into it.

"Thanks for the replenishment," Gu Chen said with a light smile as the Sun Essence absorbed Yan Qi's flames, growing significantly more abundant.

"Ahh—"

Yan Qi, eyes widening in rage, realized Gu Chen was merely toying with him, not taking the fight seriously at all.

"Brother Yan, I'll assist you!" At that moment, Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect stepped forward, holding the spiritual treasure Yu Sword, intending to stand up for Yan Qi.

"Scram!"

But Yan Qi, the prodigy of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, was too proud at heart, not even willing to rely on his clan elders, let alone Chen Xuan, an outsider from the Yuexiao Sect.

With his pride, today's events had already frustrated him, and if he relied on Chen Xuan, how would the world view him once word got out, and how would his clan elders see him?

As a top prodigy in their territory, no one likes to admit being inferior to another, and if Yan Qi accepted help today, wouldn't that be admitting that he was inferior to Gu Chen?

This was something that Yan Qi also could not bear, combined with his fury, it was why he spoke so harshly to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was stunned, not expecting his well-intentioned offer to be met with such a response from Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, causing his forehead to throb as he felt like a clown.

Chu Liufeng and others in the audience smiled but held back their laughter.

After all, Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect was not someone to be trifled with, being very powerful, and there was no need to summon trouble at this time.

"Cold shoulder for a warm greeting," Gu Chen stated bluntly, not sparing Chen Xuan's feelings.

"You!" Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect, upon hearing this, was immediately furious, ready to teach Gu Chen a lesson.

But at that moment, Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan spoke again, angrily saying, "Are you deaf? I told you to scram, no need for anyone to intervene!"

Now, Chen Xuan was stuck between a rock and a hard place, finding himself awfully embarrassed, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

If he acted, Yan Qi would surely become furious and might even join forces with Gu Chen against him—and Chen Xuan might not be able to withstand them.

If he did not act, Gu Chen would have slighted him, and spreading the news would surely sound terrible; Chen Xuan himself could not bear it.

For a while, he stood there immobilized.

"Brother Yan, I meant well, can't you see that?" Chen Xuan said, attempting to advise Yan Qi, or else it would be too embarrassing to just walk away.

"Do I need your help? Now get lost!" Yan Qi was not the least bit grateful for Chen Xuan's good intentions and harshly rebuked him, his expression extremely dark.

Chen Xuan's face turned ugly, feeling extremely annoyed about the whole situation.

He had come to watch the spectacle, but after getting involved, he was now the one being rejected and made to feel unwelcome.

Chen Xuan, grinding his teeth, said, "Brother Yan, without me, that Sun Essence would have fallen into Gu Bai's hands long ago, you..."

"Aren't you going to scram?!"

Seeing this, Yan Qi actually abandoned Gu Chen and turned his aggression towards Chen Xuan. The boiling Sun True Fire dyed half the sky above the Ancient Path Site as it surged towards him.

"You maniac!" Witnessing this, Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect immediately changed color and couldn't help but curse.

Knowing full well the terror of the Sun True Fire, Chen Xuan was no Gu Chen, barely able to hold it off with ease.
