Chapter 1520: Is This a Dharma Cultivator?

He looked at Chen Yu in surprise, a trace of uncertainty appearing in his eyes. He was not sure what Chen Yu's background was, but one thing he was certain of: the aura on Chen Yu's body made him feel a hint of dread.

"Are you Jiutun?" Chen Yu also stared at the strange, demonic man before him. He nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I am a Dharma Cultivator."

"Heh, I don't really look like one, do I?" Jiutun laughed, looking at Chen Yu with interest: "Although your power is not as strong as the Dharma Cultivators of my era."

"But the aura you exude is truly terrifying. Where exactly did the problem arise? Why do you give me such a feeling?"

"The strength of a Dharma Cultivator is not necessarily divided by power," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Perhaps I am not terrifying, but my soul is what makes you fearful."

"Perhaps so," Jiutun nodded slightly, muttering to himself: "I have slept on the seabed for such a long time, and now I finally have the chance to go up to the surface and take a look."

"Do you have a chance to go to the surface?" Chen Yu glanced at Jiutun.

"Why wouldn't I? I have already awakened," Jiutun chuckled: "What I want to do now is go to the surface. You aren't thinking of stopping me, are you?"

"You are absolutely right. I came here to stop you," Chen Yu also smiled: "Alright, let's stop probing each other. There are only the two of us here; let's say what needs to be said."

"Hmm, I think so too. Probing each other has no meaning," Jiutun nodded slightly and said with a chuckle: "What is your background?"

"No background, I'm Huaxia," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Huaxia?" Jiutun stared at Chen Yu and suddenly laughed: "That answer is quite interesting. Even if you didn't say it, I would know you are Huaxia. Are you stalling for time?"

"You actually saw through it," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "That's right, I am stalling for time. By now, our people should have arrived at the surface safely, so there is really no need for us to hide anything anymore."

"It's been thousands of years. I want to go to the surface and take a look. That request isn't excessive, is it?" Jiutun smiled.

"It isn't excessive, but I will not allow such a thing to happen," Chen Yu said seriously.

"Why?" Jiutun said: "Just because I am a god?"

"A god? Self-proclaimed?" Chen Yu frowned: "Your predecessor must have been a demon from some savage tribe in Huaxia. The era you were born in was an era of demons running wild in Huaxia."

"So, unable to make it in Huaxia, you ran to that small island in the east and were worshipped as a god by the local natives. With a sudden transformation, you became a god. Looking at it this way, it's quite interesting."

"Where did you hear that rumor?" Jiutun said angrily: "These things are completely baseless."

"I knew you wouldn't admit it; after all, it is quite a shameful matter," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "However, the people you are with are also self-deceiving. Even if they know you are a demon, they refuse to admit it."

"Because after so many years of cultivation, and with the end of the savage era, you did indeed gain a bit of Divine Power, and you could grant them great strength, so in their eyes, you are their god."

"Haha, that's right, my true self is their god," Jiutun grinned: "What, you want to stop me? Forgive me for being blunt, but your bit of power is far too inferior to mine."

"There is a gap, I admit that, but don't forget that you have just awakened and much of your power is very weak, so facing you, it is not certain that I lack the strength to fight," Chen Yu gripped the Lichen in his hand and stared coldly at Jiutun.

"Heh, this is truly interesting," Jiutun laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that just after awakening, I would encounter such an interesting person. Since that's the case, I'll play with you."

With a *whoosh*, the Gourd hanging at Jiutun's waist suddenly floated into mid-air. It turned upside down, with the Datou facing upward, revealing a pair of eyes and a bloody mouth.

"Old friend, do you want to stretch your muscles too?" Jiutun tilted his head, looking at his Gourd, and nodded slightly: "Alright then, since that's the case, go ahead and rush out to teach him a lesson."

"Is this the origin of your name?" Chen Yu stared at Jiutun: "Letting your old friend stretch is fine, but if it gets damaged, don't you dare blame me."

"With just you, you haven't reached the point of damaging it, have you?" Jiutun sneered. This Wine Gourd was formed from his own Life soul body and was one with him; how could it be damaged so easily?

"Then come on," Chen Yu slowly raised the Lichen in his hand: "I have seen this thing in the Strange Object Records; it is a very special existence, formed from your Life soul body. However, there is one thing you should be clear about: hurting it is equivalent to hurting yourself."

"Old friend, it's up to you now," Jiutun patted the Wine Gourd lightly.

The Wine Gourd seemed to have received a long-awaited command; it roared excitedly, then its figure flashed, turning into a trail of light as it charged toward Chen Yu.

Its speed was extremely fast, and a bloody mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth opened at the bottom, attacking Chen Yu.

A fishy stench wafted from its mouth; clearly, this guy's hostility was extremely heavy. Chen Yu's brows locked slightly, and his figure flashed, suddenly disappearing from the spot.

*Crack! * The Wine Gourd's large mouth bit heavily into the pillar behind him, biting off half of the pillar directly.

Spitting out the dirt and sand in its mouth with dissatisfaction, the guy turned around angrily and looked at Chen Yu.

"I dodged it, and you seem very dissatisfied," Chen Yu sneered. He stared at the Gourd, and the Lichen had already appeared in his hand.

With a roar, the guy opened its entire Datou, and a bloody mouth even larger than before lunged at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu certainly wouldn't indulge this thing. With a flick of his right hand, his figure slid forward, heading straight for the Gourd.

A cold light flashed, Chen Yu's figure swept past, and a scream rang out. A wound had appeared on the body of the Gourd.

This wound went from top to bottom, almost slicing the Gourd in two.

Moreover, blood flowed from its body. The guy hissed angrily at Chen Yu, but it only bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Chen Yu; in reality, it hid behind Jiutun, not daring to come forward.

Jiutun's gaze became furious; that sword strike just now had caused his spirit to suffer a heavy blow.
