Chapter 392 Bai Grand Elder's Unexpected Strength!
Chapter 392 Bai Grand Elder’s Unexpected Strength!
Bai Ren went all out against Gou You. He had no intention of sparing him-not after what he did two years ago.
Perhaps it was also his guilt over his own carelessness back then, but the memory of Gou You attacking Bai Zihan was still etched deeply into his mind, refusing to fade no matter how much time had passed.
This time, Bai Ren vowed to make Gou You pay.
Many had expected the outcome to be just like two years ago-a prolonged stalemate that could last a very, very long time.
After all, battles between Immortal Realm cultivators-when there was no overwhelming difference in strength-could drag on for days, sometimes even weeks.
CLANG! CLANG!
The first exchange exploded the moment their weapons met.
Immortal Qi and Demonic Qi collided head-on, sending ripples through the surrounding space.
Shockwaves tore outward, forcing nearby Immortal Realm cultivators to instinctively retreat.
But before Gou You could even stabilize-
CLANG!
Bai Ren stepped in again.
His sword descended in a clean, precise arc, forcing Gou You to retreat half a step.
Then another strike followed immediately, and another-each blow perfectly linked, leaving no room to breathe.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Sparks scattered as Gou You was driven backward through the air.
His expression shifted subtly.
Every strike carried an oppressive weight, the Immortal Qi within them dense and refined, pressing down on him like an invisible mountain.
Bai Ren, on the other hand, looked almost relaxed.
His movements were fluid and effortless-each step measured, each swing controlled. It was as though he were dictating the rhythm of the battle entirely. CLANG!
Gou You grunted as he blocked another strike, his arm vibrating violently from the impact.
He hadn’t even launched a proper counterattack yet.
Bai Ren pressed forward once more, blade flashing.
CLANG!
This time, Gou You was forced back several meters, his feet skidding through the air as he struggled to regain balance.
Only then did Bai Ren laugh.
“Haha, it has been 2 years and your skills are still stuck at this level!”
His tone was light, almost amused, yet the contempt behind it was unmistakable.
Gou You’s face darkened.
He couldn’t say anything back.
He didn’t know how, but in just two years since he had last seen Bai Ren, Bai
Ren had clearly advanced far more than he should have been able to.
He could feel it.
He was at a disadvantage.
(How? Did he hold back two years ago?)
That was the only explanation that made sense.
Otherwise, at their level, making any noticeable progress was extremely difficult-certainly not enough to push an opponent back like this.
He remembered clearly that two years ago, at the Ancient Ruins, he had been able to go toe-to-toe with Bai Ren without any issue.
But now-It was obvious.
He was being pushed back.
Bai Ren excitedly threw another attack.
SLASH!
Gou You was forced back another three meters as he struggled to defend.
The reason for Bai Ren’s sudden increase in power was simple.
It was all due to the Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique that Bai Zihan had given them.
A cultivator inevitably encountered limitations as their cultivation rose higher and higher.
Earth-Grade Cultivation Techniques, in particular, made advancement within the Immortal Realm exceedingly difficult.
But with a Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique, the Qi refined was far purer
and denser.
Although Bai Ren’s cultivation realm itself hadn’t changed much, the quality of his Qi had undergone a drastic transformation.
Every attack he unleashed now carried far greater power than before.
Thus, Gou You-who had initially been full of confidence-was now beginning
to regret his decision to go against Bai Ren.
CLANG! CLANG!
Bai Ren attacked casually, treating Gou You as nothing more than a practice
target.
Gou You could clearly feel it.
Bai Ren was blatantly looking down on him.
Him?
The Third General of the Demonic Cultivators?
“Bai Ren, don’t think that you can take me down so easily!”
Gou You roared as Demonic Qi surged violently around him. His aura exploded outward as he clasped his hands together.
“Demonic Heaven-Shattering Slash!”
A crescent of condensed Demonic Qi tore through space itself, carrying destructive power capable of cleaving mountains.
Even the surrounding Immortal Realm cultivators instinctively retreated, unwilling to be caught in its path.
Gou You’s eyes burned with vicious confidence.
This was one of his strongest killing techniques.
Yet-
Bai Ren merely raised his sword, his expression unchanged.
CLANG!
The Demonic slash shattered like glass.
Its remnants dispersed harmlessly into the air, unable to advance even half a
meter further.
Gou You’s pupils shrank violently.
“What-?!”
Bai Ren laughed heartily.
“Haha! Bai Zihan was right!”
He stepped forward casually, his sword resting on his shoulder.
“Your attacks feel like a soft massage!”
Gou You was reminded of Bai Zihan’s words-words hurled at him after
surviving his failed ambush.
His face twisted with humiliation and fury.
The Third General of the Demonic Cultivators-reduced to a joke.
Elsewhere-
The clash between true giants shook the heavens.
Bai Chu stood firm against Mó Zūn, his Immortal Qi surging in steady, crushing
waves. Each exchange distorted space itself, yet neither side gained clear
dominance.
But something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Mó Zun’s eyes narrowed as yet another of his attacks was neutralized.
Several years ago, Bai Chu had been inferior to him-there was no doubt about
it.
Yet now?
They were evenly matched.
At moments, Bai Chu was even pressing him back.
Mó Zun’s gaze swept across the battlefield.
Bai Ren was overwhelming Gou You.
Other Bai Clan Immortals were dominating their opponents as well-each far
stronger than before.
This was no coincidence.
“This kind of growth…”
Mó Zún said coldly, Demonic Qi churning beneath his calm exterior.
“It cannot be explained by mere enlightenment.”
His eyes locked onto Bai Chu.
“What did you all do?” Bai Chu smiled faintly, Immortal Qi swirling around him like an unyielding tide.
“Like hell I’d tell you.”
He stepped forward, pressure surging.
“Why don’t you force it out of me-like you Demonic Cultivators always do?”
Mó Zūn’s expression darkened.
(The Bai Clan must have obtained some kind of treasure.)
He came to a conclusion.
(Whatever it is-it shall be mine!)
CLANG!
But for that to happen, he would first have to kill Bai Chu and destroy the
Desolate Heaven Empire.
And that was proving to be far more difficult than he had anticipated.
