Chapter 95: Gu Yue

The direction of the treasure light was a shattered star floating island.

The island was not large, floating in the void, with a strange plant growing in its center.

This plant was carved entirely from dark purple crystal, with starlight flowing between its branches and leaves, as if it contained a miniature starry sky.

At the top of the plant, a fruit the size of a fist was slowly condensing into shape.

Its surface was covered with profound patterns, and its interior seemed to have nebulae rotating, emitting dense spatial fluctuations and star power.

It was indeed the rare Heaven and Earth spirit fruit, the Void Star Fruit.

However, Chen Chuan was not the first to arrive here.

At the edge of the floating island, three figures already stood.

The leader was a young girl dressed in a golden palace gown.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, her skin was as white as snow, and a faint golden light flowed around her, making her look like a Fairy who did not belong to the mortal world.

She appeared to be only eighteen years old, but her cultivation had already reached the First Level of the Void Breaking Realm, and her Aura was pure and grand.

Chen Chuan recognized her at a glance as the girl with the Golden Sacred Body he had encountered once at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Behind her stood two middle-aged guards in dark gold armor.

Their eyes flashed with brilliant light as they opened and closed, and the spiritual energy in their bodies surged like a great river; they were both experts at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm.

Chen Chuan’s arrival immediately alerted the two guards.

One of the cold-faced guards stepped forward, his gaze scanning Chen Chuan like lightning, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority:

"This place has already been occupied by our Young Miss, and this Void Star Fruit belongs to us. Your Excellency, please leave quickly to avoid trouble."

A powerful Aura pressed down like a mountain; if it were an ordinary First Level of the Void Breaking Realm Cultivator, their mind would have likely trembled, and they would have retreated.

Chen Chuan frowned slightly, and a sense of displeasure rose in his heart.

The opponent’s strength was formidable, and it was indeed unwise to fight head-on, but it was absolutely impossible for him to give up the treasure that was about to be obtained.

The spiritual energy in his body circulated secretly, his power ready to be unleashed, as he pondered how to break the situation.

Just then, the palace-dressed girl, the owner of the Golden Sacred Body named Gu Yue, lightly raised her hand and stopped the guard’s further actions.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked toward Chen Chuan.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, with an innate nobility, yet it lacked any sense of arrogance:

"Wait. Treasure hunting in a Secret Realm depends on one’s own Opportunity; bullying the weak is not my wish."

She paused, her gaze falling on Chen Chuan with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

For Chen Chuan to reach this place with a First Level of the Void Breaking Realm cultivation was not simple in itself.

Gu Yue then made a proposal that surprised Chen Chuan.

"Since you have also come for this fruit, it can be seen as fate."

"I, Gu Yue, have always acted fairly."

"If you want to obtain this Void Star Fruit, it is very simple: fight me fairly."

"If you can defeat me, this fruit is yours. How about it?"

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Chen Chuan’s eyes, and the displeasure in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by a strong Battle Intent.

He laughed loudly, his tone full of confidence:

"Good! This method is excellent and extremely fair. I am Chen Chuan; please advise me, Young Miss Gu Yue."

He did not have the confidence to deal with those two guards at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm.

But if it was just to defeat Gu Yue, who was also at the First Level of the Void Breaking Realm, Chen Chuan had absolute confidence, even if she possessed the Golden Sacred Body.

Seeing Chen Chuan agree, Gu Yue nodded slightly and took light steps toward the open area in the center of the floating island.

The two guards glanced at each other and silently backed away a distance, but their eyes remained fixed on the field, clearly prepared to intervene at any moment.

Although they had confidence in their Young Miss’s strength.

This young man named Chen Chuan always gave them a feeling that they could not see through him.

"Please!" Gu Yue cried out softly, saying no more.

She lightly raised her jade-like hand, and the Saint Solar Battle Scripture in her body instantly circulated to the limit.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light erupted from all over her body.

It was as if a brilliant sun had risen here; a scorching and holy Aura spread out, illuminating the surrounding Void Realm.

"Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm!"

As she struck with her palm, a majestic golden spiritual energy surged out, transforming into a giant golden hand.

Above the palm, runes swirled and burned with fierce golden flames, as if they could incinerate the eight directions and melt the Void Realm.

The giant golden palm carried an invincible will as it pressed down toward Chen Chuan.

As the palm wind passed, space distorted slightly, emitting a hum as if it were overwhelmed.

Facing this astonishing strike, Chen Chuan showed no fear in his eyes; instead, a fierce Battle Intent burned within them.

"Good timing!" he shouted lowly.

The blood and Qi in his body surged like a Dragon, and Chaos spiritual energy roared out.

A vast and domineering dragon prestige spread from within his body.

"True Dragon Breaks the Heavens!"

He threw a punch!

In an instant, the dragon’s roar shook the heavens!

A condensed purple-gold dragon-shaped energy tore through the sky, pouncing toward the giant golden palm with its claws and teeth bared.

This dragon-shaped energy was not illusory; its scales, claws, and teeth were clearly visible, containing the supreme will of the True Dragon Clan to shatter the firmament.

Boom!

The giant golden palm and the Purple Gold True Dragon collided fiercely, erupting with a world-shaking explosion.

A terrifying energy storm centered on the point of impact and spread madly in all directions, sweeping up all the rubble on the floating island and turning it into dust.

Golden light and purple radiance intertwined and tangled, eroding and annihilating each other.

The stalemate lasted only for a moment before the seemingly invincible giant golden palm was actually torn apart by the Purple Gold True Dragon.

Although the dragon-shaped energy had dimmed considerably, it still carried an indomitable momentum as it rushed toward Gu Yue.

A flash of surprise appeared in Gu Yue’s beautiful eyes; she clearly had not expected Chen Chuan’s Divine Ability to be so powerful.

But she reacted extremely quickly; with a thought, the golden light around her surged again.

"Star Sword Armor!"

Flecks of starlight emerged from her body and quickly condensed on her surface into a set of magnificent and sturdy armor.

The armor was dark gold throughout, inlaid with countless tiny star gems that constantly emitted starlight, forming a layer of airtight defensive golden sword Aura.

At the same time, she struck with both palms repeatedly, and several condensed golden palm prints flew out, finally completely dispelling the remaining dragon-shaped energy.

On the other side, Chen Chuan also let out a long roar, and the Bloodline Power in his body was completely activated.

Buzz!

Pieces of purple-gold dragon scales instantly covered his body, shimmering with a metallic luster and full of power and a sense of defense.

His whole being seemed to transform into a humanoid True Dragon, his Aura wild and domineering.

"Come!"

Chen Chuan laughed and took the initiative to attack.

His figure moved like a dragon weaving through, instantly closing in on Gu Yue to launch an attack.

Every strike contained the power of a True Dragon, tearing through the air and emitting sharp explosions.

Gu Yue also pushed the Saint Solar Battle Scripture to the limit.

The Star Sword Armor provided unparalleled defense, and as her palms flew, Divine Abilities like the Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm and the Saint Solar Finger were used one after another.

Golden light was brilliant, holy flames blazed, and she fought intensely with Chen Chuan.

For a time, on the floating island, dragon roars echoed, golden light filled the sky, and starlight flowed.

The two figures were as fast as lightning, and every collision erupted with a deafening roar and blinding light.

The aftershocks of the fierce battle caused the entire floating island to tremble slightly.

The two guards at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm watching from a distance were already filled with shock.

They looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.

"This boy is so terrifying! Is he really at the First Level of the Void Breaking Realm?"

"Young Miss’s Golden Sacred Body combined with the Saint Solar Battle Scripture is powerful enough to challenge ordinary Cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Level of the Void Breaking Realm, yet she is actually being steadily suppressed by him?"

"What kind of Physique does he have? A True Dragon Bloodline?"

"No, it feels even more ancient and noble than a True Dragon Bloodline."

In the field, Gu Yue became more and more alarmed as the fight went on.

She had already exhausted all her methods, yet she was still unable to break through Chen Chuan’s defense covered in dragon scales.

Instead, her own Star Sword Armor was constantly trembling under the opponent’s fierce and domineering attacks, and the starlight was becoming slightly dim.

The opponent’s spiritual energy seemed infinite, and his Physical Body strength was incredibly strong; every hard collision made her blood and Qi surge.

"He hasn’t even used his full strength!"

A thought flashed through Gu Yue’s mind like lightning, making her feel a sense of horror.

As a Princess of the Tianyu Divine Dynasty, she possessed the Golden Sacred Body and had enjoyed endless resources and practiced top-tier Cultivation Techniques since childhood.

She believed she was invincible among those of the same rank and could even fight across several small Realms.

But today, in front of a Lower Realm Cultivator who was also at the First Level of the Void Breaking Realm, she actually felt an unprecedented pressure and a sense of powerlessness.

Finally, after a violent collision.

Gu Yue’s figure stumbled back, and the Star Sword Armor around her body emitted a wail before suddenly dissipating.

The spiritual energy in her body was also nearly exhausted, her pretty face turned slightly pale, and her gaze toward Chen Chuan was full of complexity.

"I lose."

Gu Yue took a deep breath and calmly admitted defeat.

Although she was unwilling, it was more a sense of shock and admiration for Chen Chuan’s strength.

Seeing this, the two guards also shook their heads and sighed secretly.

The Young Miss had natural talent, yet today she had actually lost to a Lower Realm Cultivator; if this were to spread, no one would probably believe it.

But they also knew that this Chen Chuan was indeed an unthinkable Prodigy.

Just then, the Void Star Fruit at the top of the crystal plant suddenly erupted with brilliant Chaos starlight.

The fruit completely solidified, and an enticing exotic fragrance spread out.

It had ripened!

Chen Chuan was not polite; with a flash of his figure, he plucked the spirit fruit containing majestic spatial and star power and stored it away properly.

However, at the very moment he put the Void Star Fruit into his Storage Ring.

Three incomparably powerful Auras suddenly descended from the sky, like three mountains, locking onto Chen Chuan firmly.

Three figures landed in a triangular formation, surrounding him in the middle.

These three were all dressed in uniform deep blue clothing, with an ancient "Jun" character embroidered on their sleeves; their Auras were sharp, and their gazes were arrogant.

Two of them had cultivation at the Eighth Level of the Transcendence Realm, and the leader had even reached the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm.

"Immortal Family, the Jun Family!"

Gu Yue’s pupils constricted slightly as she recognized the identity of the newcomers.
