Chapter 1624: Chapter 431 No Hope
In the boundless land of chaos, Gu Chen clashed with the Ancestor of the Netherworld in the ultimate showdown.
This battle was destined to go down in history, the strongest confrontation ever recorded in the annals of the myriad heavens and realms!
No other fight could compare.
After all, the combatants each merged with half of the universe’s origin, one Yin and one Yang, inherently fated to stand on opposing sides!
Where Gu Chen stood, the Disorder Calming Sword danced, its sword energy vast, its sword light boundless, illuminating the great cosmos—even in the land of chaos, this light couldn’t be concealed, and it would spread to the myriad heavens and realms, its aura at the pinnacle of sharpness.
In contrast, the Ancestor of the Netherworld was equally formidable; the strongest of the Netherworld, fused with the essence of Yin, cultivating for endless eons through more than hundreds and thousands of epochs, his power just as terrifyingly mighty.
If not because Gu Chen was specifically born for this calamity, he simply couldn’t compare; he would have been instantly slain by his foe.
Therefore, this battle was fiercely intense!
When they engaged, the Disorder Calming Sword clashed with the spear, shards of time fluttered about, and the river of years emerged; time and space were thrown into confusion, seeming on the verge of shattering apart.
As the two fought, the river of years flowed on, its waters tossed in turmoil; as they battled each other, one side released endless radiance, while the other was like a dark abyss that could swallow the universe, interpreting the essence of Yin and Yang to an excruciating extent.
Their clashing blows and ferocious battle raged from one end of the river of years to the other, as if piercing through the entire ancient history of the great cosmos, battling until time and space were in disarray, until everything ceased to exist and all epochs became void!
"Kill!"
The Ancestor of the Netherworld bellowed, and from his spear emerged a countless number of supreme chains of demonic Dao principles, like a demonic phoenix spreading its wings, aiming to pierce Gu Chen straight through.
"Begone!"
Gu Chen let out a mighty roar, his hair wild and unruly— it had been who knows how many years since he had been this frenzied, his whole body’s battle blood boiling, desiring to fight to the extreme pinnacle!
In the flash of his hand, the Disorder Calming Sword swept across, and in just an instant, countless numbers of the supreme Skill of the Sword of Pacification appeared, all merging into this one stroke.
"Disorder Calming Sword, born for pacification, slash!"
Gu Chen shouted coldly, his Disorder Calming Sword emitting continuous, endless sword cries, resonating with its master.
No need for anything else, just this haunting sound of the sword was enough to annihilate the nine heavens and ten earths!
At the same time, as the Disorder Calming Sword struck out, Gu Chen’s other hand formed a fist, encapsulating invincible fist intent that declared "I am unmatched, only I am supreme!"
Bang!
The Ancestor of the Netherworld found himself outmatched in an instant, his body sent flying outright. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
However, the typical recovery abilities of a celestial demon are considered unparalleled, let alone for the Ancestor of the Netherworld, the source of all demons.
"Quite skillful," he assessed, and that negligible injury was healed in an instant.
At this moment, Gu Chen’s gaze calmed down, for he knew that when facing an enemy of this caliber, the more desperate one becomes, the faster one meets downfall.
The Ancestor of the Netherworld even directly voiced his admiration, "Although you are extremely young, in every aspect, you’re truly extraordinary. Across so many great epochs, among the people I’ve seen from your myriad heavens and realms, only a few could compare with you."
"The most recent of them was a junior known as the Ice Emperor; he was very strong. It’s a pity, without the origin within him, he couldn’t possibly be my opponent. Yet even so, he took the initiative to come to the Netherworld and took ten moves from me, tsk tsk."
The Ancestor of the Netherworld said this while shaking his head, his words filled with emotion.
Clearly, despite being an enemy, he held the Ice Emperor in high regard.
During the last great epoch, the peak existences of the myriad heavens had a truly grand spirit; not wanting to bring calamity upon the myriad realms, they took the initiative to strike, heading to the Netherworld to face the enemy.
But regrettably, the great momentum was not on their side.
Gu Chen remained silent, holding the Disorder Calming Sword, no matter what the Ancestor of the Netherworld said, it could not shake his mind.
"Amassing a great move?" The Ancestor of the Netherworld raised an eyebrow, seeing that the sword intent and sword qi within Gu Chen were climbing, mounting furiously, growing more and more powerful.
"Truth be told, even if I gave you the chance, you wouldn’t be able to extinguish me, of course, neither would I be able to do so lightly," he said.
As the Ancestor of the Netherworld spoke, he fiercely smashed his spear over, the force was so tremendous that the entire land of chaos was distorted as a result.
"Disorder Calming Sword!"
At that moment, endless sword intent surged in Gu Chen’s eyes, and he let out a thunderous yell, the light on his sword embryo dazzling to an unprecedented zenith.
The Disorder Calming Sword was Gu Chen’s ultimate sword technique, containing within it his life’s ultimate vow!
Essence, qi, spirit, including his own being, all merged into this one stroke, his Dao weapon radiating endless brilliance, the great Dao’s origin vibrating, turning the intangible into tangible, pouring into this one stroke.
This one stroke could be called the best of the ancient and the present, it was simply indescribable in words!
All words paled and were powerless before this stroke.
Countless rays of sword light shone, like the dawn of creation itself, a sword universe taking shape, time shattered, all things annulled, only this one sword remained eternal!
Skill of the Sword of Pacification, with this stroke unleashed, all turmoil was quelled!
With a splatter, dark blood sprayed—the Ancestor of the Netherworld was actually cleft straight through by Gu Chen. Or rather, the entire land of chaos was bifurcated by this stroke of sword light.
Dumbfounded, astonished, such an expression still lingered on the face of the Ancestor of the Netherworld, his spear and armor shattered as a result.
This was the pinnacle stroke that Gu Chen had been refining for hundreds of years!
