Just as the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, was about to clash with the young lord of the Blood Orchid Clan, one of the four major different races of the Gray Domain, the young lord Jiu Li of the Jiuying Clan suddenly turned his gaze and spotted Gu Chen, who had just arrived.

In an instant, he could no longer contain his rage, his eyes blazing with fire, filled with deep-seated hatred.

And upon hearing the name "Gu Jiuge," in a moment, everyone's gaze shifted toward Gu Chen, including Gu Yan and Xue Ningshan, who chose not to engage in their showdown, but instead, made the same move.

After all, Gu Chen had become the strongest presence in this secret realm, with his battle achievements nearly known to everyone's ears; it wasn't an exaggeration to say that there was no one who didn't know his name.

Such a dazzling figure, once he appeared, naturally drew everyone's attention.

Gu Chen's expression was calm as he stepped into the area, seeing the Emperor of Da Xia standing not far off, looking at him with a solemn expression.

Even Ling Fei and Liao Yun were looking in his direction from another.

There were also Fu Ling, Fang Lian, as well as He Lianying and Shen Tianchi, whom he had once killed; when they saw Gu Chen's gaze fall on them, especially the latter two, their expressions changed dramatically, and they hastily turned their heads away.

At the same time, near the inheritance stele, inheritors from the three major hidden sects were also examining Gu Chen: Xue Ningshan from Spirit Path Mountain, Yun Qi from Yin Yang Heaven Sect, and finally, Liu Yun from Hovering Island.

"Do you know from which faction he comes, whether he is affiliated with the hidden sects of the Gray Domain like us?" Xue Ningshan of Spirit Path Mountain asked in a low voice.

Yun Qi of Yin Yang Heaven Sect didn't speak; his pupils circulated with black and white qi as he stared at Gu Chen, trying to discern his true capabilities.

The man from Hovering Island, Liu Yun, was a young man with a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and dressed in a blue robe that easily garnered favor from the ladies, giving him an air of casual elegance.

Upon hearing this, he too shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of a person named Gu Jiuge from any power.

"If that's the case, this person's origins really are quite strange," Xue Ningshan from Spirit Path Mountain remarked with a meaningful look at Gu Chen.

"Gu Jiuge, I want you dead!" At this moment, Jiu Li of the Jiuying Clan, his eyes blood red, let out a fierce roar, having broken free from the restraint of the remaining members of his clan and advancing near Gu Chen.

"Ahh—"

With round eyes and a loud shout, his body surged with magical power; he launched a palm strike at Gu Chen's face with brutal ferocity.

Gu Chen's eyes remained calm, without the slightest ripple; he merely extended a single finger, meeting Jiu Li's attack and rendering it completely ineffective.

"As expected!"

Witnessing this, the crowd inwardly marveled; through this time, they had come to recognize Gu Chen's strength and knew that, barring any accidents, he would be the top prodigy among the Gray Domain's younger generation.

"Dare to oppose me, no matter where you come from, I will make sure you have no place to be buried!" Jiu Li of the Jiuying Clan roared, nearly driven to madness.

Suddenly, at that moment, a dazzling light radiated from his chest, accompanied by this light; Jiu Li's energy soared, increasing exponentially in a series of explosive boosts!

"Young lord!"

The people of the Jiuying Clan changed their expressions instantly upon seeing this; they knew that their young lord was desperate, having resorted to his final technique and vowing to not rest until Gu Jiuge was killed!

Moreover, individuals like Gu Yan, Xue Ningshan, and others also watched this scene without blinking, eager to know whether Gu Jiuge could stand against Jiu Li boosted temporarily to the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm by this technique.

Because this was also their final technique; once activated, their cultivation would be forcefully elevated to the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm.

With their talents, once obtaining the full cultivation of the Cave Heaven Realm, they could be unstoppable within the secret realm, freely dominating.

This was the real confidence behind the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, the three hidden sects, and the four different races.

They were also curious whether Gu Chen possessed such a technique.

If he did, that would indicate that Gu Chen came from a power on a similar level to theirs; if not, his background would truly be worth pondering over, and he would also be undoubtedly doomed.

"Die!"

Soon, Jiu Li's aura climbed to the true peak of the Cave Heaven Realm as the Gang Wind whistled around him. He was emboldened, bellowing with intense killing intent in his eyes, and struck another palm toward Gu Chen.

This move from Jiu Li indeed had an earth-shattering momentum, striking fear into the hearts of the onlookers who involuntarily stepped back a good distance, leaving enough space for the two combatants.

The wild palm wind blew through Gu Chen's brilliant and thick hair; his demeanor was indifferent, his gaze steady as he extended two fingers like a sword and met the attack.

"Seeking death!"

Jiu Li of the Jiuying Clan glared with a chilling gaze, let out a scornful laugh, ready to squash Gu Chen into pulp with one palm.

The immense power gave him an incomparable sense of confidence.

Now, Jiu Li saw himself as above all in this place, unstoppable by anyone.

In his eyes, Gu Chen was the first stepping stone to validate his strength!

Chuff!

In the next moment, blood sprayed, and the excruciating pain brought Jiu Li, immersed in his grand delusion, instantly back to reality. He looked incredulously at his palm, where there were now two through-and-through holes, clear from front to back.

"How... is this possible?!" Jiu Li's eyes bulged, his teeth clenched in anger, his punctured palm trembling with pain.
