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

Xu Xu, Ying Ba, and Xuan Ku watched as Gu Chen fought his way through the land, sweeping across all directions and suppressing all the geniuses from outside the Divine Dynasty.

I witnessed firsthand Gu Chen's incredible fighting power.

Crushing a half-step Grandmaster!

A direct confrontation with an early-stage Grandmaster!

A bloody battle against the supreme physical body of the demon race!

A brutal massacre of a mid-stage Grandmaster-level prodigy from the island nation!

Overpowering the peak-level barbarian king!

He fought his way through enemies of higher levels with unparalleled skill, a feat that shook the hearts of all!

Everyone now looked at the three of them, wondering if they had the courage to challenge Gu Chen.

Of the three, only Xuanku of the Buddhist sect was present.

Xu Xu and Ying Ba both knew that even if they went all out, they might not be a match for Gu Chen when he was at his full strength!

They felt that Gu Chen, despite having fought so many battles, still maintained a calm demeanor, his combat power seemed unfathomable, and his various methods were unfathomable, with no limit in sight!

Both of them are smart. They didn't challenge Gu Chen, and as long as they didn't lose to him, they could save face. If they challenged the second or third person who was defeated by Gu Chen, it wouldn't be a disgrace for them either.

If you actively challenge Gu Chen and are defeated...

Even more embarrassing.

Daoist Xu Xu's eyes flickered, and finally his gaze settled on the second mischievous little barbarian king.

Little Barbarian King was just seriously injured by Gu Chen, his combat power has dropped drastically, and he is in a weak state, making him the best target for a challenge!

Xu Xu flashed onto the stage and took the challenge!

"I'm going to challenge the second-ranked Barbarian King!"

"Accurate!" came the ancient Taoist chant.

Xu Xu took the stage.

The mischievous little devil also took to the stage.

"Your strength is not bad, but it's a pity you're not at your peak, otherwise you would have some strength to contend with me," Xu Xu said calmly.

"Come on, I'm in my current state, I can still defeat you!" the mischievous little tyrant roared.

"Heh." Xu Xu sneered and made his move directly.

The Divine Dynasty and the northern barbarians were never on good terms.

There's no need to be polite to them.

The young, unruly king, still recovering from serious injuries, was already severely weakened in combat. In addition, his mentality was shattered by Gu Chen, leaving him utterly powerless to contend with other Daoist prodigies of the same level!

In just a few dozen rounds, he was defeated head-on by Xu Xu, and his ranking dropped to ninth!

Following closely behind, Ying Ba of the Divine Dynasty Royal Family set his sights on the third-ranked Koizumi Tsutomu!

Koizumi Tsutomu was severely injured by Gu Chen's two strikes, his cultivation was disordered, and his combat strength was reduced to less than one-tenth!

Ying Ba took to the stage and unleashed his top-tier royal martial arts, easily defeating the heavily injured island nation's prodigy and climbing to third place on the list!

After the two challenges concluded, the leaderboard was updated again:

First: Gu Chen

Second: Xu Xu

Third: Ying Ba.

Fourth: Xuanlin Jiao (Black-scaled Dragon).

Neither of them dared to challenge Gu Chen, who was in first place!

now.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, only one person remains!

The Buddhist leader, Xuanku!

Xuanku was dressed in a golden Buddhist robe, his face solemn, his eyebrows forming a Buddhist seal, and he was surrounded by a rich golden Buddhist light. The sound of Zen chanting lingered, and he seemed compassionate and holy, but deep arrogance was hidden in his eyes.

He watched the entire match and his thoughts differed from the other two!

In his view, Gu Chen was indeed strong, but he relied mostly on his powerful soul and first-class swordsmanship to gain an advantage. He had Buddhist divine skills that provided strong protection for his soul, plus his Buddhist golden body, so he had no problem resisting Gu Chen's swordsmanship. After a bloody battle, Gu Chen must have been greatly exhausted, and his full strength was revealed!

He's confident he can take on the challenge.

With his mid-stage Grandmaster cultivation, invincible golden body, and supreme Buddhist martial arts, he is more than capable of defeating Gu Chen at this moment!

With this thought in mind, Xuan Ku took the initiative to step forward, golden Buddhist light sweeping across the heavens and earth, slowly ascending to the aerial martial arts arena!

All the geniuses in the audience focused their attention instantly, and the atmosphere became tense once again!

"Xuanku, the leader of the Buddhist group, has made his move!"

"A top-tier prodigy of Buddhism, possessing mid-stage Grandmaster strength, slightly stronger than Xu Xu and Ying Ba!"

"He's definitely not satisfied! He wants to challenge the rogue cultivator and take the first place!"

"Xuan Ku must think that the rogue cultivator is exhausted from continuous battles and has an opportunity to take advantage of him!"

Countless geniuses are discussing it heatedly, eagerly anticipating the ultimate showdown between the two top experts!

On the training ground, Xuan Ku stood opposite, his Buddha eyes slightly raised, looking down at Gu Chen.

"My lord, it is not that I intend to take advantage of your distress."

"For a rogue cultivator like you, without any sect or faction, to rise to prominence is already an incredible stroke of luck."

"The Spirit Gathering Pool is an invaluable resource, and the recommendation slots are even more scarce. It shouldn't be occupied by you."

"This monk can refrain from competing with you for first place, provided that you hand over the three recommendation slots you hold, and allow three of my Buddhist disciples to enter the pool for baptism."

"If you agree, this monk will preserve your first place and save your face."

"If you remain stubborn and unyielding, I will have no choice but to use Buddhist teachings to forcefully crush you and take your place!"

Xuan Ku spoke indifferently, with an air of absolute confidence and arrogance, certain that he would win.

In his view, Gu Chen, in his exhausted state, was no match for his Buddhist Golden Body combat power!

Gu Chen raised his eyes, his expression icy, and said calmly, "The spots I can bring three people into the pool are all earned through my own strength. Why should I give them to you?"

His first place ranking falls within the top ten, which allows him to bring three people into the pool.

Furthermore, the first-place winner can bring three people who are located near the center of the Spirit Gathering Pool.

Once we sell the three spots, I'm sure plenty of people will be willing to spend their resources to buy them.

To expect him to give it away to the Buddhist community for nothing? Xuanku is really dreaming.

He really thought he was afraid of those Buddhists.

"On what grounds?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ku's expression instantly turned cold, his body radiating a surge of Buddhist light, revealing his arrogance!

"Given my transcendent status within Buddhism and my mid-stage Grandmaster cultivation, my strength is currently at its peak!"

"You are already at your limit, your full strength has been revealed, and your true energy is insufficient!"

"Since you insist on resisting, then this monk will beat you until you submit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ku stopped pretending to be compassionate, and the golden Buddhist light around him suddenly transformed into the fierce light of a warrior Buddha!

A terrifying aura of a mid-stage Grandmaster erupted, crushing the entire training ground!

Everyone instantly felt the terrifying power of the Buddhist prodigy!

Xuan Ku possesses the ultimate indestructible golden body of Buddhism, his physical body is invincible and impervious to swords and spears, far surpassing the physical bodies of ordinary grandmasters!

Master two top-tier Buddhist martial arts, the Great Sun Vajra Palm and the Universal Salvation Demon-Suppressing Seal!

Holding the Zen Mind Demon-Subduing Pestle, a low-grade Buddhist treasure weapon!

Protected by Buddhist teachings, possessing a golden body to pacify the world, with unparalleled magical abilities, combining offense and defense!

His combat strength is extremely high, slightly better than Xu Xu and Ying Ba!

"Great Sun Vajra Palm!"

Xuan Ku let out a low shout, and a giant golden palm swept across the sky. The dazzling Buddhist light condensed into the palm's force, carrying the supreme power to purify all things and suppress evil spirits, and slammed down towards Gu Chen!

Buddhist martial arts are specifically designed to counter all evil and heretical practices, possessing unparalleled power and might!

All the top talents in the arena held their breath and focused intently on the battlefield!

"Xuanku has made his move! The ultimate Buddhist technique he unleashed is incredibly powerful!"

"Brother Rogue Cultivator has been fighting continuously until now, especially the battle with Little Barbarian King, which has greatly depleted his strength. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand this attack."

"This is troublesome. Brother Rogue Cultivator's number one position is probably in jeopardy!"

Facing Xuan Ku's Buddhist ultimate palm strike, Gu Chen's expression turned cold, and his fighting spirit reignited!

"Even in your current state, I can still defeat you."

"Today, I will shatter your golden armor and arrogance!"

The third strike of the Nine Blood-Transforming Slashes is unleashed.

The ultimate crimson blade light soared into the sky, and the overwhelming crimson blade aura directly clashed with the mighty Buddha palm!

Boom!

The power of Buddha and the power of the Blood-Transforming Killing Path collided to their extreme!
