Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 975 - 67: The Secret Realm Concludes

Confronted with the carefully prepared attack from dozens of Cave Heaven Realm cultivators of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the assault of demonic beings, Gu Chen raised his hand and directly summoned a True Dragon, or perhaps a divine spirit descending to Earth. The terrifying aura was boundless, as if heralding the end of the world itself.

With just a single probing claw, the Cave Heaven Realm cultivators of the Saint Gate that surrounded both Gu Chen and Emperor Xia completely dissipated into smoke, as though they had never existed.

This was an astoundingly shocking spectacle that left everyone on the scene speechless and dumbfounded, daring not to move an inch.

The majestic dragon, with its imposing body spanning nearly a hundred zhang in length, swept its large eyes across the crowd, petrifying everyone its gaze passed over.

Such an aura was like the sovereign of all beings—manifestly ethereal, yet somehow, inexplicably life-like in essence.

"A True Dragon… How can Gu Jiuge summon a True Dragon?!"

"What sort of technique is this, from which Dao does it hail? Could it be the fabled True Dragon Divine Power that has been lost since the primordial era?!"

The appearance of the True Dragon caused countless people to panic, for anything related to the so-called divine spirits was considered outstandingly extraordinary.

And the True Dragon Divine Power has been lost to time ever since the fall of the pureblood True Dragons.

Though in the present upper realm's three thousand six hundred domains there existed dragon tribes, there were no pureblood True Dragons among them, merely beings with a portion of the True Dragon bloodline.

This was why the so-called True Dragon Divine Power could not manifest in the world.

After all, the dragon tribe, immensely powerful and ranked at the top among the myriad tribes of the upper realm, naturally possessed innate divine powers. But with an impure bloodline, the power of their divine abilities was significantly reduced, decidedly different from those wielded by pureblood True Dragons.

"Could it be that Gu Jiuge is not of the Human Clan, but rather a divine spirit—a young dragon?!" Some even entertained such a thought.

It was merely because the shock Gu Chen delivered was just too overwhelming for them to comprehend or believe.

In any case, Gu Chen's strength had conquered everyone present, and once the secret realm ended and word spread, the entire Gray Domain was set to quake.

For the foremost among the younger generation had emerged, and in this regard, there was no longer any dispute!

Gu Chen was the king of the Gray Domain's younger generation, beyond compare!

Gu Yan felt a profound shock in his heart as he looked at Gu Chen. He alone sensed that the previous strike carried an aura unique to a divine ability.

Otherwise, the power could not have been so strong, instantly turning dozens of Cave Heaven Realm cultivators and demonic beings to dust.

"If I disregarded everything and exerted all my strength, could I kill him here?" Suddenly, such a thought surfaced in the mind of the Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, his eyes brimming with a rich dark aura.

"No, I cannot reveal myself yet, it's not worth it!" But quickly, Gu Yan furrowed his brow, dismissing the idea.

Now, with almost all of his subordinates annihilated by Gu Chen, if he were to reveal his true form, he would no longer have the confidence to eliminate everyone within the secret realm. Hence, once the secret realm ended, the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty would become the target of all under heaven.

The consequences were too grave for Gu Yan to bear.

"Fine, let him be arrogant for a while longer. Once we are out, I shall kill him!" Gu Yan gritted his teeth, suppressing the surging intent to kill Gu Chen.

Clearly, he believed that with the demonic being within himself, he could succeed in severing Gu Chen.

And as for Gu Chen's recent strike, he believed it was some kind of trump card, not necessarily Gu Chen's true power.

After all, how could it be possible for a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator to master a divine ability?

Even Gu Yan himself couldn't do it, so naturally, it was impossible for Gu Chen.

Moreover, not even the supreme Ice Emperor from the previous era could do so, so Gu Yan certainly didn't think Gu Chen could either.

After all, this was commonly acknowledged across the entire upper realm's three thousand six hundred domains.

No matter how strong Gu Chen was, Gu Yan did not believe he could surpass the Ice Emperor and stand at the peak of the upper realms.

"Brother Gu is indeed powerful, the foremost of the Gray Domain's younger generation. I am impressed," Gu Yan, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, actually took the initiative to step forward and thank Gu Chen.

This behavior immediately stunned the generals by his side.

"Previously, I heard some of my subordinates offended Brother Gu. Here, I would like to apologize on their behalf. May I know what compensation is needed for Brother Gu to overlook this matter?" Gu Yan offered a smile, looking elegant and genteel as he bowed to Gu Chen.

Since a direct attack was ineffective against Gu Chen, Gu Yan had changed his mind. He wanted to lower Gu Chen's guard and get close to him, planning to take him down after they left the secret realm!

He believed that Gu Chen would not refuse. After all, with the power of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, no matter how strong Gu Chen was, he could not turn the tide and would be thoroughly crushed!

Moreover, by approaching him, he was also creating an opportunity for Gu Chen. But Gu Yan was confident that even with a close encounter, should Gu Chen suddenly make a move, he could not kill him.

The onlooking crowd, upon witnessing this scene, had complex expressions, knowing that Gu Yan had conceded.

But they did not find it shameful because such terrifying strength truly allowed one to roam unchecked within the secret realm. Continuing the conflict would only result in needless casualties.

In their eyes, Gu Chen would likely accept Gu Yan's submission. After all, Gu Yan had now lowered himself so far, even willing to offer compensation, along with the clout of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, many believed it would be irrational to refuse.
