Chapter 1125: Driven Away with One Punch
"Senior, you have eyes like torches. My minor tricks must have amused you!" Ye Chen merely smiled, without any embarrassment.
The apocalyptic calamity is about to descend, with some rising as unexpected champions, and others like dragons hidden in Jiuyuan. But without exception, they all aim to cross the tribulation.
Ye Chen chose to lie dormant and thus deceived the world, which was his chosen method. Even if he was seen through, it was of no consequence.
"I observed your bone age and deduced your fate—it is only a matter of decades. In the eyes of a true strongman, decades are but a passing moment!"
"Yet, within that fleeting moment, you broke the limits of the postnatal and cultivated an Innate body..."
"You truly are astonishing!"
The Gu God is an Innate Holy Spirit born from the primordial chaos at the beginning of heaven and earth, having experienced countless things!
Yet, he had never encountered someone like Ye Chen before, not even heard of such a being!
Thus, upon first seeing Ye Chen, the Gu God felt shocked, even a bit of horror!
In just a few decades, Ye Chen had accomplished an epic feat, creating an unprecedented miracle. If he were to continue cultivating for several more decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, what would become of it?
Unconsciously, the Gu God saw Ye Chen as a threat, an unprecedentedly dangerous individual!
"Senior, you are truly flattering me!" The words of Gu God were extremely serious, even reverent, but Ye Chen remained humble.
In a time of chaos, true dragons all lie in wait, and no one would foolishly expose themselves. Ye Chen fully understood this principle and dared not act arrogantly!
Moreover, the Gu God was a true Innate Holy Spirit, present since the opening of the world and cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years. How could Ye Chen afford to be arrogant towards him?
Ye Chen belonged to the postnatal beings, able to comprehend the epic, truly standing unrivaled in the world!
However, his achievements in the epic were merely that of a regular figure!
However, Ye Chen's potential was immense, with three thousand Taoist symbols imprinted. As long as Ye Chen could fully comprehend them, he could surpass everything and truly transcend!
"You need not be overly modest!" The Gu God said. "Your exploits have spread across the myriad worlds; even the great epic villains know you well!"
"Though you are a postnatal being, you've surpassed your predecessors and can stand on equal footing with us!"
The Gu God did not underestimate Ye Chen, instead seeing him as a great threat, constantly reminding himself to be cautious.
"Heh." Ye Chen smiled lightly, undisturbed and unperturbed.
"However, why did you destroy my will and harm my life soul?" The Gu God's tone shifted, revealing a murderous intent as if he was accusing.
"I was wrong in this matter!" Ye Chen admitted. "But, senior intended to devour my beloved, and I had no choice but to intervene to save her!"
Just now, the Gu God had only descended with his will, possessing only an instinct to devour. Ye Chen had fiercely struck and directly obliterated it, which indeed was a bit reckless.
However, the situation was not so severe, as the Gu God was an Innate Holy Spirit. To annihilate a mere will, how could it harm the life soul?
"Can just one admission of error conceal your mistake?" The Gu God showed no intention of letting go, seemingly aggressive, as if he was ready to chastise.
"I have realized my mistake. What does senior wish to do?" Ye Chen said calmly, neither frightened nor angry.
"Kneel and admit your mistake. Then I may forgive you!" The Gu God commanded.
"Haha!" Upon hearing this, Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"..."
As Ye Chen laughed recklessly, the Gu God instead became silent, waiting for Ye Chen to provide him with an answer.
Actually, the Gu God did not want to make things difficult for Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen had risen too quickly and fiercely, and he did not wish to offend him!
However, there were only a handful of epic villains, where heads bowed and lifted regularly. If Ye Chen extinguished his will without him demanding justice, how could he assert his authority once the matter spreads?
"What has happened in the past decade? Ye Chen's changes are too drastic, and he knows the Gu God..."
From afar, Fang Ruolan was hiding and watching with awe at the Gu God and that man—her man!
In ten years apart, Ye Chen had changed drastically, completely overturning Fang Ruolan's understanding.
Fang Ruolan had made remarkable progress these years, advancing to the Holy Domain thanks to a serendipitous encounter.
Such progress was astonishing since even Yun Zheyue hadn't proven the Tao, yet she did.
However, compared to Ye Chen's progress, Fang Ruolan's achievements were worlds apart—a difference between an ant and a divine dragon!
Furthermore, not only was Ye Chen's cultivation profound and unfathomable, he also knew the Gu God, which left Fang Ruolan shocked and speechless!
The Gu God is a deity revered by those in the Gu path, an existence unknown in its antiquity, seemingly traceable to the end of the galaxy!
Ye Chen was around her age, perhaps even younger. How could he know such a figure?
As Fang Ruolan gazed at Ye Chen's figure, her beautiful eyes sparkled with an indescribable astonishment.
"What, are you unwilling?" At this moment, the Gu God spoke, asking Ye Chen for an answer.
"Both you and I are epic, both great villains. If I wish for you to kneel, could you withstand it?" Ye Chen replied. "Let's change the condition!"
"I simply asked you to kneel, bow your head, and admit the error. Is that so difficult?" The Gu God inquired.
The Gu God was very wary of Ye Chen because his potential was too great and could possibly surpass him in the future!
Yet, wariness was merely wariness, not fear!
The Gu God had been there since the beginning of the heavens and experienced numerous tribulations—a newly risen Ye Chen was not enough to intimidate him!
"You asking me to bow my head and admit fault, that's like me saying it's okay to defecate and urinate on your head, do you find it difficult?" Ye Chen replied.
"Haha, are you really going to tear your face off and face me in a life-and-death duel?" Gu God laughed angrily.
"I crushed one of your Divine Sense avatars, truly disgracing you. If I don't apologize, your authority will be lost!"
A being like Gu God possesses immense authority, and any infringement is met with a thunderous strike, a fact Ye Chen understands well.
"Since you know this, why not quickly apologize?" Gu God said.
"However, both you and I are epic figures, forcing me to bow and admit defeat is too much!" Ye Chen replied. "Yet I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges; I'm not unreasonable, so I'd like to propose another way!"
"Another way?" Gu God said in surprise.
"Exactly!" Ye Chen replied.
"You wouldn't be thinking of giving me some treasure to offset your sins, would you?" Gu God asked.
"Certainly not!" Ye Chen answered. "Your foundations are deeper than mine; why would you lack treasure?"
"Then what do you mean?" Gu God asked, showing interest.
Since Ye Chen knew everything yet dared to speak this way, he must have a plan to quell the anger of Gu God.
"I have carved a new path and realized a new Dao, aren't you interested?" Ye Chen said with a mysterious smile.
"You want to impart your Dao to me?" Gu God was shocked, his aura fluctuating, causing a stir in the heavens and earth.
"Haha, how daring you are!" Ye Chen laughed heartily. "My Dao is the first since ancient times; how could I easily teach it to others? Moreover, my Dao is mine alone, and none of you can covet it!"
"Then what do you mean?" Gu God, feeling tricked by Ye Chen, asked in annoyance.
"I can let you experience my Dao!" Ye Chen said. "Even if I teach you, you can't attain it! Thus, I'd rather let you feel my Dao; maybe you can gain something from it!"
"How to experience your Dao? Isn't it still through fierce battle?" Gu God sneered. "This realm has a repulsive force. My true form cannot descend, only my will, which cannot truly battle you and feel your Dao power? You want to expel me, just say it directly!"
"No, I genuinely want you to feel my Dao!" Ye Chen said. "Earth is my domain; you can't harm me here. I can reveal everything to let you experience my Dao, which is sincere enough!"
"Moreover, this is Earth, where Xiahou Chun is stationed! Your descent without cause is already crossing boundaries; if I act against you, it's not unreasonable!"
"Gu God, know when to stop and take what's given! If Xiahou Chun comes, he won't be as easygoing as me!"
Ye Chen's words were firm, neither weak nor arrogant, yet they struck directly to the heart, causing Gu God great caution.
As Ye Chen mentioned, this is Earth, Ye Chen's domain, with Xiahou Chun present; Gu God's will showing up here is indeed crossing the line!
If Xiahou Chun truly arrives, with his fiery temperament, Gu God would be in a disadvantageous position!
"Alright, reveal your Dao and let me perceive it all. Our grudges will be erased!" Gu God conceded.
"If so, pardon the intrusion!" Ye Chen stepped forward, his aura tightened, and he cupped his hands towards Gu God.
Boom!
At this moment, Ye Chen's brilliance was exposed, his whole body radiant like a Divine King, emanating a majestic aura!
"Is this his Heavenly Emperor Dao?" Gu God watched Ye Chen erupt with dazzling light, feeling a sudden shiver, becoming slightly serious.
Knowing the reasons for Ye Chen's attainment and enlightenment, Gu God focused intensely, trying to grasp the mysteries within.
"Runes shake the world, fist subdues the heavens!"
Ye Chen manifested a rune on his body, golden and brilliant, illuminating the heavens, flying directly towards Gu God.
Boom!
The golden rune suddenly expanded, unleashing three thousand Dao powers, enveloping Gu God, rendering him immobile.
"What kind of force is this, to bind everything, leaving me unable to resist?" Feeling the power of the rune, Gu God was infinitely shocked and filled with disbelief.
Yet at this moment, Ye Chen's punch arrived, bursting with endless Dao power, landing on Gu God's head!
Thundering!
A terrifying scene unfolded; Ye Chen's punch shattered everything, exploding Gu God's head, causing it to burst!
"Ye Chen, you actually expelled me!" Gu God's voice thundered through the heavens, revealing an awe-inspiring anger.
"I'm not expelling; I let you feel it!" Ye Chen answered. "This is my strongest strike. If it misses your body, how can you feel the Dao power?"
"Rubbish, this is all your excuse; you wanted to expel me!" Gu God roared.
"Alright, you figured it out. I do want to expel you!" Ye Chen's aura tightened, displaying supreme dominance. "Gu God, our karma is settled; don't come again, or I'll summon Xiahou Chun, and you'll be faced with no return!"
"You wait for me!" Gu God said. "When you leave Earth or my true form descends, I'll surely make you regret everything you've done!"
"Fine, I'll wait!" Ye Chen replied fearlessly.
Boom!
Finally, Gu God's aura vanished, expelled by Ye Chen once again.
"Ye Chen actually drove Gu God away?" Fang Ruolan witnessed everything and was completely stunned.
