Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Gu Chen's martial arts techniques are too bizarre.

He just used a martial art that appears to be from the Yamamoto family of Japan.

They then unleashed their Body Refining Divine Skill, the pinnacle of their Body Sect.

What exactly is its origin?

When did a figure of this caliber appear among independent cultivators?

They couldn't understand it, and they stopped thinking about it.

Perhaps this rogue cultivator received the inheritance of their physique from a senior in another region somewhere.

After all, the Body Sect has existed for over a thousand years.

Sometimes, it's possible that some predecessors die outside, causing their legacy to be taken away by others.

All eyes were fixed on the martial arts arena.

Let's see if Zhong Chen can break through Gu Chen's defense.

Now on stage.

The two of them didn't waste any more words.

Zhong Chen's eyes flashed sharply, and a burst of brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from his body!

Rumble!

The extremely sharp Geng metal true essence soared into the sky, transforming into thousands of golden blades that floated around him, forcing back the purple-gold lightning arcs on the training ground!

With the Gengjin Body fully activated, his aura instantly surpassed the peak of the Core Formation stage. His bones, meridians, and flesh all transformed into a lustrous gold color, and the hardness of his body was comparable to that of a Yellow-Rank Treasure Weapon. Every inch of his power was condensed to the extreme.

The terrifying aura of a half-step Grandmaster was released with a roar, crushing all directions. The true essence of the perfected Core Formation stage surged and roared like a turbulent sea, enveloping the entire martial arts arena!

"Sky-Splitting Blade!"

Zhong Chen let out a low shout and unleashed his strongest fourth-grade top-level martial art!

In an instant, thousands of golden blades converged and condensed into a giant golden blade aura three zhang long. The blade was incomparably sharp, carrying a terrifying gale that could tear the heavens and earth apart, and with the power to destroy everything, it slashed down fiercely towards Gu Chen!

Wherever the blade passed, the air was directly torn apart, creating dark spatial rifts, and its sharp aura was suffocating!

This strike was Zhong Chen's peak power, unleashing the full potential of a half-step Grandmaster, enough to instantly kill any ordinary Core Formation Perfection cultivator!

On the stands, all the prodigies focused their gazes, each certain of the outcome.

"One strike decides the outcome!"

"Zhong Chen's strike was powerful enough to rival that of a cultivator who had just entered the Grandmaster realm!"

Faced with this devastating strike, Gu Chen stood still, his body motionless, his face remaining completely expressionless.

Just as the golden blade of light was about to strike his head, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

hum!

The invisible and intangible power of the divine soul instantly shook the Niwan Palace, and the divine soul of a second-grade sage suddenly emanated outward!

The overwhelming divine soul pressure instantly enveloped the entire martial arts arena!

Soul Piercing Cone activated!

Silently and without a trace, the invisible divine soul blade pierced through the air in an instant, ignoring physical defenses, and directly locked onto Zhong Chen's sea of ​​consciousness!

"what!"

Caught off guard, Zhong Chen's body trembled violently, and a soul-tearing pain instantly shot through his mind!

His sea of ​​consciousness felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, his soul trembled violently, his vision spun instantly, and his true essence suddenly became chaotic and out of control. The golden giant blade light that was about to strike dimmed and shattered instantly!

The Geng Metal physique possesses inherent resistance to attack, yet it cannot defend against attacks on the soul!

Gu Chen was too lazy to waste time with him, so he simply used his divine soul attack to settle the matter.

"Another soul attack!"

In the instant that everyone was shocked and stunned.

Gu Chen took light steps and his figure darted out like a ghost!

With the full power of his perfected copper body and Void Saint body, his explosive power was instantly maximized!

He clenched his right hand, and a cold light burst forth, revealing a scimitar that was entirely crimson and covered with blood-red patterns—the Blood-Transforming Blade!

Blood stains a thousand peaks!

The blood-red blade energy, capable of unleashing devastating slaughter, instantly swept across all directions!

A streak of crimson light slashed through the sky, moving at an extreme speed that surpassed the visual limits of all cultivators below the Core Formation stage!

puff!

The blade flashed precisely across Zhong Chen's shoulder, its sharp force directly shattering his chaotic Gengjin protective true essence!

With excruciating pain, his soul damaged, and his body out of balance, Zhong Chen was powerless to resist and was violently blasted away by the force of the blade!

boom!

With a heavy thud, Zhong Chen crashed heavily onto the edge of the training ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood essence. His golden aura completely dissipated, his Gengjin Body was forced to break down, his aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and many of his meridians were broken, leaving him completely powerless to fight again!

one move!

And it was just one move again!

The whole process took less than three breaths!

Zhong Chen, the leader of the Golden Palace Geng Metal Body Prodigy Team, suffered a crushing defeat!

Gu Chen is truly awesome.

On the training ground, Gu Chen stood with his sword sheathed, his clothes spotless, his expression still calm.

"It seems you can't break through my defenses."

Gu Chen finished speaking indifferently.

Above, the Daoist voice once again resounded throughout heaven and earth.

"Number 7349 wins and advances to the round of 18!"

Zhong Chen lay on the ground, clutching his aching soul and body, looking up at the calm and collected Gu Chen, filled with shock and awe, his previous confidence completely gone.

He was completely convinced.

This rogue cultivator before me possesses a divine soul-killing secret technique, an unparalleled physical body, a top-grade earth-rank weapon, and unfathomable depths. He undoubtedly deserves to crush me!

No one present dared to underestimate Gu Chen in the slightest.

soon.

The simultaneous battles in other training grounds have also ended.

The list of the top 18 teams has been released.

There are now 18 people remaining.

Even if one's cultivation level hasn't reached that of a Grandmaster, one still possesses the combat strength of a Grandmaster.

Gu Chen is undoubtedly the only one who has reached the perfect Core Formation stage.

The weakest of the others is at least a half-step Grandmaster.

Gu Chen's fighting at the peak of the Core Formation realm has completely stunned all the geniuses present!

Next up is the round of 18 to 9.

A short break.

On Gu Chen's martial arts arena.

A phantom appeared.

It ended with a battle on another arena.

One of the winners who advanced to the round of 18 was randomly teleported to be matched with another player.

The opponent is a member of the western nomadic royal court.

Before he even appeared, a fierce wind suddenly arose in the area!

A black lion phantom, three zhang tall, appeared, its roar shaking the heavens, sandstorms sweeping across the land, and a wild and domineering power that crushed the entire scene!

A burly and domineering figure appeared on the training ground, riding the whirlwind!

This man was nine feet tall, with a robust and powerful physique, bulging muscles, and wore black, wild beast bone armor. His skin was bronze, covered with scars from years of battle, and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, exuding an aura of imperial dominance.

It was none other than Tuoba Lie, the thirty-seventh prince of the western nomadic royal court!

The Round of 18.

The eighteen people were divided into nine training grounds to fight.

Gu Chen's side is one of the nine martial arts arenas.

The moment his opponent appeared, the area around the martial arts arena erupted in chaos. All the geniuses from the Divine Dynasty looked solemn and full of fear!

"It's Tuoba Lie from the Western Royal Court! We were actually matched with him!"

"This person is a genuine early-stage Grandmaster, completely on a different level from someone like Zhong Chen who, even with his physique activated, only reaches the half-step Grandmaster realm!"

"The Western Royal Court specializes in barbaric and domineering martial arts, using brute force to break through techniques. Their physical bodies are incredibly strong, and as a member of the Royal Court, they have few rivals among their peers!"

"I've heard that Tuoba Lie has awakened the royal bloodline of the Azure Wolf and cultivated the Azure Wolf Overlord Body, a top-tier physique for the royal court!"

"He also possesses the Royal Court's low-grade Earth-level treasure weapon, the Rift Wind Battle Spear, and has mastered the top-grade third-rank martial art, the Great Wilderness Rift Heaven Battle Technique."

"In the previous battle, he instantly killed a half-step Grandmaster-level prodigy, the leader of the Weapon Sect, with a single move. His combat power is extremely terrifying!"

"Although this fierce rogue cultivator just instantly killed Zhong Chen, he was ultimately only at the peak of the Core Formation stage. Winning against a half-step Grandmaster is nothing special. Now, facing a true Grandmaster, that's the real showdown!"
