Chapter 646 346: Ascension to Immortality

A dozen Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other, all shocked by the unexpected Gu Zhan, leaving them momentarily bewildered.

After a brief moment of astonishment, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Third Realm was the first to respond. He cupped his hands towards Gu Zhan and asked, "Could you be the Martial Emperor?"

Gu Zhan glanced at that Third Realm Nascent Soul cultivator without speaking, walking directly through the air towards the group of Nascent Soul cultivators. With each step he took, ripples appeared in the void, releasing wisps of white fog. The terrifying aura spread rapidly like a vast ocean, sweeping the heavens and earth, as if the end of the world had arrived, shocking the human world. The group of Nascent Soul cultivators felt an insurmountable pressure.

In the Capital City, buildings trembled with fear, and even the surrounding mountains shook, as if they were about to collapse and disintegrate at that very moment.

The mere pressure caused such apocalyptic visions, inciting fear!

"How is this possible?"

The cultivators were all fearful, especially the two Third Realm Nascent Souls. They were figures standing at the peak of this world, capable of establishing their own sects and Dao traditions.

Thus, they felt it even deeply, more able to perceive the terrifying, irresistible aura emanating from Gu Zhan.

"Kou...Xian...Sect..."

One of the Third Realm Nascent Soul cultivators squeezed out those three words almost syllable by syllable from his mouth. The unfathomable presence sensed from Gu Zhan made him immediately evaluate Gu Zhan's cultivation in his mind.

He was a cultivator at the Grand Sect Leader level,

the Great Power closest to the legendary cultivation limit,

and now, the pressure exhibited by Gu Zhan could only be achieved by a strong expert of the Kouxian Sect.

Immediately, that Nascent Soul cultivator dared not linger, turning and fleeing.

At this level, the difference between the Kouxian Sect and the Nascent Soul Third Realm is the clearest.

Although both were Nascent Soul Third Realm, the Kouxian Sect broke the Nascent Soul limit and touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm. This realm lies between the Immortal Pill, more accurately described as a half-step Immortal Realm.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth,

Though difficult to believe, he could not fathom how someone who broke through the Martial Arts limit just a few years ago could have reached the Kouxian Sect, yet he dared not stay,

Gu Zhan's name as the God of Slaughter was known throughout the current Cultivation Realm, as every move by Gu Zhan had resulted in enormous bloodshed, with scarcely any survivors.

In that split second,

The Nascent Soul Third Realm cultivator was the first to flee, so quickly that the fellow Nascent Soul cultivators were unable to react, filled with confusion.

Because, although they all sensed Gu Zhan's powerful aura and guessed that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Giant Sword Sect might have been killed by Gu Zhan, they assumed Gu Zhan would be at most a Grand Sect Leader of the Third Realm. They never expected that just one encounter would cause their top combatants to flee immediately.

At the same time, another Third Realm Nascent Soul cultivator was only half a step slower, escaping desperately.

However, as the two Third Realm Grand Sect Leaders fled,

Gu Zhan sneered contemptuously, rapidly extending a hand.

In that instant, heaven and earth shook, as if a vast hand snatched a piece of the sky, directly suppressing it. Hundreds of enormous tornadoes of qi erupted, howling, seemingly to tear the earth apart.

That palm, with terrifying divine technique, grasped an area of space, vast and boundless, accompanied by lightning and the light of chaos.

At this moment,

The Nascent Soul cultivators who had not yet reacted witnessed the most terrifying sight of their lives,

They saw,

The two Grand Sect Leaders who had already fled at least ten thousand miles appeared beneath Gu Zhan's palm, within which were mountains and rivers, as if it were a vast world,

Yet those two Grand Sect Leaders seemed completely unaware, still rapidly fleeing. Although their speed was as fast as a stream of light, they were incredibly slow, unable even to escape a single hand.

Yet,

All the Nascent Soul cultivators watched as Gu Zhan slowly lowered his hand,

"Boom" "Boom"

With two light sounds,

Two clouds of blood mist exploded under the enormous hand,

The two Grand Sect Leader-level Great Powers didn't react before their souls were scattered.

[Origin Value +10000]

[Origin Value +10000]

This scene,

Frightened the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators so much that they were pale, and some even trembled.

The next moment, Gu Zhan turned his gaze towards them,

They all felt a boundless terror that made them shiver, with a few Nascent Soul cultivators so terrified they couldn't fly, crashing to the ground and creating deep pits.

"Spare us, Martial Emperor!"

"I am willing to submit..."

Some Nascent Soul cultivators were so frightened they had no other thoughts, only wanting to beg for mercy.

However, Gu Zhan's eyes were cold,

A streak of golden light shot from his eyes, piercing through them, instantly shattering several Nascent Soul cultivators. Immediately after, Gu Zhan struck with another palm, turning a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators into blood mist before they could even cry out.

[Origin Value +5000]

[Origin Value +3000]

[...]

...

As a series of system prompts echoed in his mind,

Gu Zhan glanced at the system page, his accumulated Origin Value already enough to break into the Immortal Realm.

However, he did not hurry to break through, instead looking up at the sky,

That thing,

Still made his heart tremble.

Staring at the sky for a while, Gu Zhan tore open a space rift with one step, heading towards the Wu Dynasty Capital City.

Even though separated by tens of thousands of miles,

For Gu Zhan's cultivation now, it did not take long. By the next day, he had returned to the Wu Dynasty Imperial City.

Upon returning, he immediately gathered many cultivators under his command to cooperate with him in transforming the Capital City, using the might of the cultivators to transform the entire Capital City into a rather rough God-Trapping Array in just a few days.

Afterward, Gu Zhan did not continue building,

He was certain to perfect this God-Trapping Array, but for now, he needed to use it to change the rules of the Capital City and shield from the perception of that "Great Terror" above.

When the God-Trapping Array was activated,

Gu Zhan summoned the system:

[Use 20,000 Origin Value]

[Current Realm ascends to Immortal Realm]

...

Rumble!

At this moment, a light arose within Gu Zhan, making his body appear transparent. This was due to the evolution from mortal blood to Immortal Blood, that drop of blood evenly distributing, flowing throughout his body with a luminous glow.

And in that instant,

The many Great Power cultivators in the human world felt a terrifying threat descending from the sky,

Yan Qingshan and the four Kouxian Sect cultivators searching for Gu Zhan gazed fearfully toward the sky,

"What is happening? How could 'it' cast its gaze upon the human world a second time in such a short span? Could it be that impatient?"
