Chapter 40 Battle, Grand Celestial Master

Above the training ground, the nine Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain simultaneously descended through the air, their imposing presence awe-inspiring.

Many disciples of Longhu Mountain were seeing all ten Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain gathered together for the first time.

"Greetings, Celestial Masters."

"Get up, everyone! What's going on?"

The elderly man leading the group had a full head of white hair and an air of otherworldly wisdom. He was Zhang Yitian, the current abbot of Longhu Mountain, and his strength was unfathomable.

"Senior Brother, it's him."

Zhang Liu walked up to Zhang Yi and looked at Gu Lingchen.

Despite being watched by ten celestial masters, Gu Lingchen remained calm and composed.

However, the ten Celestial Masters looked at Gu Lingchen with apprehension, as they were still unsure whether the person who had just injured them with his voice was the same person in front of them.

"Hmph, since the establishment of Longhu Mountain, you are the first person to dare to act recklessly here."

"My Longhu Mountain has no desire to be enemies with a powerful figure like you."

"Speak, what do you desire, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen said coldly, "Finally, someone whose words are useful has arrived, huh?"

"Bang."

With a light tap, Gu Lingchen sent the heavy coffin flying out and landing in front of the ten Celestial Masters with a loud bang.

"The person inside the coffin is named Zhang Daqiang."

"I want his memorial tablet placed in the Hall of Heroes at Longhu Mountain, and his coffin buried in the cemetery behind the mountain."

"Who?"

"Zhang Daqiang?"

"presumptuous."

"Hey kid, do you know who Zhang Daqiang is?"

"He is a disgrace to Longhu Mountain."

Instead of focusing on seeking the Dao and cultivating oneself, during his travels after leaving the mountain, he actually married a mortal and had children.

"How could such a despicable person possibly have his memorial tablet placed in the Hall of Heroes?"

"It's even less likely that he'll be buried in the cemetery behind the mountain."

"It's a waste that we groomed him to be a future celestial master."

Among the ten celestial masters, a man who looked slightly younger, around fifty years old, retorted coldly.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Gu Lingchen was also filled with murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lingchen looked at him and his mind stirred.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the man felt as if a mountain had struck his chest, and he was sent flying, spitting blood.

"The Ten Celestial Masters..."

"Ten Masters..."

"Tenth Brother..."

Everyone was astonished.

What kind of tactic is this?

He did absolutely nothing, yet he managed to severely injure a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm?

"Boy, how dare you!"

The other five or six Celestial Masters were furious and prepared to attack at the same time, but were stopped by Zhang Yi.

"stop."

"You are no match for him."

"What? Senior Brother, how is this possible?"

"With so many of us, plus you, Senior Brother, who has already broken through to the Celestial Realm, how could we possibly be no match for a mere brat?"

"This kid must have used some modern technology. Senior Brother, don't be fooled by him."

At this moment, Gu Lingchen's cold voice rang out again: "I don't want to say it a second time. Agree, or I'll tear down Longhu Mountain?"

"Senior brother, this kid is far too arrogant."

"Let's attack together, otherwise the prestige that Longhu Mountain has built up over hundreds of years will be destroyed in an instant."

"Set up the formation."

Master Zhang Yi gave a cold snort, and the ten masters instantly understood.

The Taiyi Sword Formation, with Zhang Yi as its core, is the true trump card of Longhu Mountain.

The stronger the individual, the stronger the Taiyi Sword Formation becomes.

"The Taiyi Sword Formation, hahaha, the Taiyi Sword Formation composed of ten masters is invincible in the world."

"Kid, you're dead meat."

Wan Gu was extremely excited. He never imagined in his life that he would one day see the ultimate version of the Taiyi Sword Formation.

Gu Lingchen remained calm and composed throughout.

I didn't want to make too much of a fuss, but I didn't expect that these stubborn old folks in Longhu Mountain still can't distinguish reality.

With a slight burst of power, the sky instantly became covered with dark clouds.

A powerful sense of oppression swept through the entire venue.

This was the first time Gu Lingchen had prepared to get serious since he woke up.

Zhang Yi and the other ten Celestial Masters felt a chill run down their spines, a bad premonition rising within them.

They felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

But now that the sword has been drawn, there's no going back.

"Taiyi Sword Formation, kill!"

At Zhang Yitian's command, ten celestial masters moved swiftly through the air, their sword energy raging, cleaving even mosquitoes in two.

Its power is dozens of times greater than the Taiyi Sword Formation used by Wan Gu Yi and the others.

But Gu Lingchen still didn't take it seriously.

"A trivial skill."

With a slight upturn of his lips, Gu Lingchen advanced instead of retreating, his figure instantly rushing into the center of the sword formation.

"This kid is asking for it. He actually charged into the center of the sword formation."

"He underestimates Longhu Mountain too much."

"After he's defeated, I'm going to humiliate him properly and parade him through the streets."

"That bastard is far too arrogant."

At the same time, tens of thousands of people in the outer hall watched as the sky darkened. Just moments before, the sky had been clear and the sun was blazing, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds had gathered.

In the air, one could vaguely see countless golden sword energies raging, and figures standing in the void.

"Oh my god."

What exactly happened at Longhu Mountain?

"I told you this trip was worth it."

"One, two, three, four, five, six..."

"Ten? Could these be the ten Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain?"

"Who is the one in the middle?"

"Wait, isn't that the immortal we just saw carrying the coffin up the mountain?"

"Is he here to challenge Longhu Mountain to a duel?"

"Quick, take a picture, take a picture..."

"Holy crap, someone's taking on ten Celestial Masters from Longhu Mountain single-handedly."

"If I posted this online, wouldn't I become an internet celebrity?"

Sword energy raged above the training ground, but it couldn't break through Gu Lingchen's protective barrier at all.

"I'll borrow your sword."

Gu Lingchen's voice suddenly rang out. Before Wan Gu Yi could react, the long sword in his hand suddenly flew into the air uncontrollably, circled once in the air, and then landed in Gu Lingchen's hand.

"Hey kid, why did you steal my sword?"

"Don't you have a sword yourself?"

"asshole."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingchen sneered, "You are not worthy of making me draw my sword."

"This sword strike is named: One Sword, Galaxy."

"Boom!"

With a single sword strike, the sword's light pierced through the Milky Way, breaking through the clouds and stretching for three thousand miles.

The sword formation shattered, and the ten Celestial Masters simultaneously coughed up blood and flew out, landing back on the ground with expressions of shock and disbelief as they looked at the ten-kilometer-long sword beam in the sky.

They just felt like they were fighting not one person, but the entire universe.

That power….

Make them feel suffocated.

The sky returned to calm, and the sunlight shone down again, but only Gu Lingchen remained in the air.

"Whoosh~"

The longsword of Wan Gu Yi circled in the air before landing beside him, penetrating half a meter into the ground. Its terrifying residual force cracked the ground once more.

"Gulp~" Wan Gu Yi's throat bobbed.

"That's...that's terrifying."

Looking at the figure in the air, Wan Gu's legs went weak. For some reason, he wanted to kneel down before Gu Lingchen.

This is respect for the strong.

"Cough cough cough, senior brother."

"What... just how strong is he?"

"Are we just going to let him run rampant in Longhu Mountain?"

"We'll fight him to the death."

Just then, another wave of oppressive force swept over us from the sky.

In the distance, amidst the undulating mountains, an elderly man in a gray robe, with a smile on his face, stepped through the air.
