Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"I am Sun Liao of the Medicine King Palace. Today, we are fighting against the Burning Heaven Palace for spiritual herbs, but we are outnumbered and at a disadvantage. If you two fellow Daoists join forces with us to defeat the Burning Heaven Palace, I am willing to share the Earth Core Profound Ice Lotus with you both! We will share all the spoils of war!"

The sound echoed throughout the canyon, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

The fierce battle abruptly ceased, and all the disciples of the Burning Heaven Palace turned their heads, their gazes fixed on Gu Chen and Xiao Fan atop the mountain, their expressions scrutinizing.

Sensing the aura of the Breakthrough Realm emanating from Xiao Fan, he revealed a disdainful expression.

Their focus was on Gu Chen.

They couldn't fathom the aura emanating from Gu Chen.

Because of his Void Saint Body, Gu Chen concealed his cultivation level, making him unfathomable.

Right now.

Gu Chen heard this.

It released its aura and flew downwards.

Huo Tianhuo turned his head and looked at the two of them. When he sensed that Gu Chen's aura was only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, he immediately sneered, his face full of extreme contempt.

Mid-stage Core Formation?

Is a mere mid-stage cultivator even worthy of participating in the competition for a third-grade spiritual medicine?

Does he even deserve to be looked at by Huo Tianhuo?

In his eyes, cultivators at the mid-stage of Core Formation were no match for those at the peak of Core Formation or those with the combat power of a Grandmaster; they could be easily suppressed.

A mid-stage Core Formation cultivator has absolutely no chance of contending with a peak Core Formation expert, let alone with someone who is blessed by the heavens.

Upon arriving in the valley, facing Sun Liao's invitation to join forces, he did not hesitate at all and calmly replied, "Not interested."

"I alone am enough to suppress the people of the Burning Heaven Palace."

With a simple sentence, he directly rejected Sun Liao's plea for help.

Sun Liao's expression froze, his face filled with astonishment. He then hurriedly advised, "Fellow Daoist, please reconsider. The people of the Burning Heaven Palace are domineering and ruthless, monopolizing spiritual herbs and are vicious. You are alone and no match for those sixteen people. If you let them win, you will be the next targets!"

"With you and me joining forces, two Core Formation experts, plus a group of disciples, we might just be able to turn the tide! If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance!"

Gu Chen scoffed. He had only wanted to wait for them to decide the winner, out of fear of trouble.

Even with the support of the formation and the combat power of the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, Huo Tianhuo was not afraid.

With the blessing of the Void Saint Body, the physical defense of a perfect Core Formation Realm cultivator, the divine soul power of a late-stage Grandmaster, two killing martial arts moves with the power of the third rank, and the wielding of a top-grade Earth-level Blood Transformation Blade.

The group of people in front of them, along with the two Flame Demon Crocodiles at the peak of Core Formation, even with the blessing of heaven, their maximum combat strength is only at the early stage of Grandmaster.

He was not afraid.

Gu Chen said calmly, "I am enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible divine pressure suddenly emanated from his body.

The divine soul power of a late-stage Grandmaster far surpasses all existences at this level. It is formless and intangible, yet it is like the divine might of the heavens, instantly enveloping the entire Flame Canyon.

All the cultivators present, whether they were the remnants of the Medicine King Hall or the arrogant disciples of the Burning Heaven Hall, instantly felt a roar in their minds, their souls trembled, and their spirits were shaken. They were inexplicably filled with extreme fear and humility.

Even Huo Tianhuo and Sun Liao, who were at the peak of the Core Formation stage, froze, their minds pounded violently, and their breathing suddenly stopped!

How is that possible?!

How could a mere mid-stage Core Formation cultivator be able to project his divine soul power outwards?!

The ability to project one's soul outward is an exclusive mark of a third-grade Grandmaster!

Throughout the entire Divine Dynasty, there has never been a fourth-grade Core Formation cultivator who could project his divine soul outwards!

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, their faces filled with disbelief and horror.

However, this terrifying pressure of the soul only flashed by. Gu Chen deliberately restrained it. Others were only shocked, but could not see through the source. Many people felt that it was their own illusion.

After a brief moment of shock, Huo Tianhuo was the first to regain his senses, and the astonishment on his face instantly turned into extreme sarcasm and rage.

He didn't believe that Gu Chen's soul power was really at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm; he must have used some means to intimidate them.

"Playing tricks! I don't believe you possess the divine soul power of a late-stage Grandmaster!"

Huo Tianhuo's eyes were bloodshot, his face full of ferocity, and he stared intently at Gu Chen in front of him, beginning to condense his formation.

"Charge!"

Huo Tianhuo gave the order. Although he didn't believe it, he still had to do his best. The sixteen disciples of the Burning Heaven Palace received the order and looked at Gu Chen with a hint of solemnity.

If Gu Chen's soul truly reaches the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, and he also masters the secret techniques of soul attack...

This is very disadvantageous for them.

If not, Gu Chen would surely die today. A rogue cultivator who dares to play tricks on them is playing with fire and getting burned.

Sun Liao frowned, wondering if Gu Chen really had the cultivation level of a late-stage Grandmaster.

Gu Chen's cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of Core Formation. If his soul cultivation is fake, why is he still so arrogant and conceited?

In this situation, let alone contend with Huo Tianhuo, he could even be crushed by another late-stage Core Formation Realm expert from the Burning Heaven Palace.

You'll find out soon enough.

Gu Chen's gaze turned slightly cold, and he was too lazy to say anything more.

He took a step out into the air, facing sixteen menacing cultivators from the Burning Heaven Palace, and a top-tier expert at the peak of Core Formation, without any fear, his aura as steady as a mountain.

"Boy, do you really want to die?" Huo Tianhuo couldn't figure it out. He took a step forward, and flames surged around him. With the support of the formation, he unleashed the pressure of a Grandmaster at the early stage, locking onto Gu Chen and threatening him with his words.

They did not take any action, being extremely cautious.

Beware of Gu Chen's soul attack.

Even though Gu Chen relied on external force to exert the divine soul pressure just now, he could still unleash this level of divine soul power again with the help of external treasures, targeting their divine souls.

They must be feeling terrible.

The power of the soul is the hardest to resist, especially before they reach the Grandmaster realm and can no longer release their soul power.

If their spirit is injured, they are in danger.

Seeing this, Gu Chen snorted coldly, gripped the hilt of the sword behind him, and touched the cold, sharp blade with his fingertips. The pressure of the Earth-grade treasure weapon was faintly present.

He raised his eyes, his icy gaze sweeping over Huo Tianhuo and the arrogant disciples of the Burning Heaven Palace, and said calmly, "The spiritual medicine is ahead. Anyone who blocks my way to it will die."

"Let's do it!"

A murderous glint appeared in Huo Tianhuo's eyes. The spiritual medicine was right in front of them, and they could not retreat. So they fought. All the people of the Burning Heaven Palace instantly formed the Blazing Flame Killing Formation. Sixteen crimson flame spiritual energies intertwined and converged, and towering flames rose into the sky, forming a hundred-foot-long giant tiger of fire, roaring and intimidating all directions, locking onto Gu Chen in the center.

With the support of the grand formation, everyone's fire combat power surged once again, and the temperature of the entire canyon suddenly soared by several times.

Sun Liao led the remaining disciples of the Medicine King Hall to retreat to the side and watch intently. If Gu Chen's soul cultivation was not at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm...

He had already foreseen the outcome—in a moment, this arrogant mid-stage Core Formation cultivator would be blasted to death by the Blazing Flame Array, leaving no trace of his body.

But the next second, what happened next completely overturned everyone's understanding.

Standing alone in the formation, Gu Chen remained completely calm as the hundred-foot-tall fire tiger pressed down on him with terrifying force.

He slowly raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the black Blood Transformation Blade. The vast true essence, the profound power of the void, and the refined divine soul power were combined and poured into the Earth-grade Blood Transformation Blade!
