Chapter 100: Instant Defeat

That terrifying fluctuation came quickly and left just as fast.

But the aftermath it left caused all the powerhouses present to feel lingering fear.

"That aura……is not a suppression by law, but pure power!"

The representative of the Ji Family who came this time was still that lady in palace attire; her face turned pale, her beautiful eyes full of astonishment: "Within the Gu Family, aside from those few, there actually hides such a terrifying existence?"

"Could it be that the old ancestor has made another breakthrough?" The Grand Elder of the Myriad Gods Hall also wore a solemn expression.

Just as everyone was speculating wildly,

The void split open.

A tall, slender figure stepped out from the crack.

The youth wore white robes whiter than snow, his black hair loosely draped over his shoulders, his eyes deep as an abyss, as if they contained two primordial worlds in the process of being created.

With each step he took, a golden lotus would spontaneously condense beneath his feet in the void, and the Grand Dao laws around him rejoiced and leapt, as if paying homage to a king.

Gu Yuan?!

Someone recognized the newcomer.

He is the young master of the Gu Family!

He's come out of seclusion? This aura……how does it feel somewhat off?

All those present were veteran powerhouses with sharp eyes.

They could tell at a glance that Gu Yuan's cultivation level was not high.

Fifth Realm, Bone-carving Realm?

The Old Emperor of the Great One Dynasty furrowed his brows slightly,

Such a realm, while not bad among the younger generation, shouldn't cause such a commotion, right?

The Bone-carving Realm, when placed in the outside world, is roughly the level of a true disciple of a holy land.

But that fluctuation just now, which almost crushed the Divine Isle, clearly possessed power comparable to the Eighteenth Realm!

That's a difference of a hundred and eight thousand miles!

Gu Yuan paid no heed to the crowd's discussion.

He had just emerged from the inner universe and never imagined that merely releasing a bit of his aura would cause such a commotion.

It seems I still haven't controlled my power well.

Gu Yuan thought to himself.

The power of the engraved Immortal King's bone is too strong; he still needs time to adapt.

After adapting, it's still unknown whether his combat power can hold up in a supreme battle.

He raised his head to look at Gu Lin Tian in the clouds above, grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Father, I've come out of seclusion.

That 'Father' was called casually and naturally.

But hearing it, everyone present felt their hearts jolt.

This truly is the legendary Gu Family qilin child who gathers myriad affections, possesses an immortal body of longevity, and can even transport continents from another world!

Yuan'er.

Gu Lin Tian looked at his son, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.

As a True Immortal, he could see more than others.

Within Gu Yuan's seemingly frail body, his two hundred and six bones were now radiating a golden divine light comparable to the blazing sun, each bone flowing with awe-inspiring immortal dao runes.

The level of those runes was so high that even he, a True Immortal, felt a faint sense of……oppression?

Not bad, kid.

Gu Lin Tian's heart surged, yet he burst out laughing,

Coming out of seclusion is perfectly timed; today the celestial court has just been established, myriad races come to congratulate, and as my Gu Family's young master, you should let the world witness your brilliance.

Having said that, he waved his hand.

Which fellow Daoist would be willing to give some pointers to my son?

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Give pointers?

Who dares to give pointers?

This is the Gu Family's precious treasure; if he gets hurt, those two True Immortals and three Heavenly Emperors will surely skin them alive.

Cough, cough, the Gu Family young master is a heaven-sent genius; we old fogeys dare not presume to give pointers.

The Old Emperor of the Great One Dynasty hastily waved his hands, wearing an apologetic smile.

Yes, yes, the young master is obviously a dragon among men, peerless among his peers; we admire him.

Everyone echoed in agreement, all just flattery.

Gu Yuan stood in the void, listening to these fawning praises, and shook his head helplessly.

He knew what these people were thinking.

Seniors, please don't hold back.

Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on a youth in black armor with a chilling aura within the Myriad Gods Hall camp.

His name is Yuan Sha, and his cultivation has reached the Fifteenth Realm.

Sir, your aura is refined; you must be an expert—how about joining forces?

Gu Yuan pointed at Yuan Sha.

Yuan Sha stared for a moment, then instinctively glanced at his own Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder also looked bewildered.

A 5th-realm Bone-Binding Realm challenging a 15th-realm Sacred Heart Realm?

That's a difference of ten whole major realms!

Is this seeking death, or is it humiliating someone?

"Gu Family Patriarch, this…" the Grand Elder of the Wan Shen Temple hesitated slightly.

"It's fine." Gu Lin Tian said lightly.

"Since Yuan'er has spoken, let's have some fun. Nephew Yuan Sha, go ahead and strike; if you can wound Yuan'er, this seat will reward you handsomely."

With the True Immortal's word, Yuan Sha's worries vanished instantly.

In its place rose a fury of being looked down upon.

I'm a 15th-realm! You're a 5th-realm!

What gives you the right to challenge me?

"Since the Young Master is in the mood, I'll accompany him for a couple of moves."

Yuan Sha stepped forward, his figure like lightning, instantly arriving a hundred zhang away from Gu Yuan.

The 15th-realm pressure erupted with a boom, and behind him a black demonic apparition appeared, its killing intent filling the heavens.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Yuan Sha gave a low shout, without using a weapon, he directly struck out with a palm.

Although he didn't use his full strength, he still used fifty percent of his power.

Enough to smash an ordinary 10th-realm cultivator into a pulp.

Facing this oncoming palm, Gu Yuan stood in place, unmoving.

He didn't even lift his hand.

Only at the moment the palm wind was about to reach him did his chest rise and fall slightly, the Immortal King's bone trembling faintly.

Hum!

A golden ripple spread outward from Gu Yuan as its center.

Immortal King Technique!

Crack!

The palm print Yuan Sha struck, upon contacting the golden ripple, was like glass hitting diamond, instantly shattering.

Immediately after.

Pfft!

Yuan Sha's whole body was struck as if by lightning; the demonic apparition behind him exploded, and he flew backward at ten times the speed he came, crashing hard into a distant divine mountain.

Boom—

The divine mountain collapsed, dust and smoke rising everywhere.

The entire place fell dead silent.

Everyone's mouths gaped open, their eyes nearly popping out.

One move?

No, he didn't even make a move.

Just a faint ripple from the tremor of his fleshly body instantly killed a 15th-realm!

"How… how is this possible?!"

Even the old emperor of the Taiyi Dynasty had several beard hairs ripped out.

"Bone-Binding Realm… overcoming the Sacred Heart Realm? Crossing ten major realms?"

"Is this still human?!"

If one said their earlier awe of Gu Yuan stemmed from his background.

then now, this awe comes from his own unreasonable terrifying power.

This is hardly a youthful supreme.

This is clearly a primordial ferocious beast wearing human skin!

Gu Yuan patted the non-existent dust from his collar, looked at the distant pit, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Sorry, I used too much strength; it's my fault—I must properly tend to Elder Yuan's injuries!"

Above the clouds.

Gu Lin Tian looked at his son's ostentatious appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He rose to his feet, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over the entire crowd.

"From today onward, in the Primordial Immortal Realm, only the Gu Family shall be supreme."

"Those who defy orders, be executed!"

At this moment, no one dared harbor any other thoughts.

The Gu Family, with True Immortals stabilizing the world and the Heavenly Emperor patrolling the heavens, the Young Master is moreover a monster unparalleled throughout the ages.

Henceforth, the world belongs to the Gu surname.
