Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Jian Chen and another were likewise stalled by the late-stage Sage Realms of the Immortal Ascension Sect, unable to easily extricate themselves.

"If there's danger, speak up immediately!"

The Gu Family Ancestor's countenance was grim as he could only transmit his voice to Gu Changge as a reminder.

If it really came to a life-threatening situation, he thought, what would it matter if he self-destructed today?

Worst comes to worst, even sacrificing his old life, he couldn't allow Gu Changge to perish here!

He naturally realized that the Wu Family's target had always been Gu Changge from the very beginning.

But no one wanted to be the first to point it out explicitly.

As long as they didn't point it out, these two Sages from the Immortal Ascension Sect wouldn't be caught by the Sword Sect.

Whether Gu Changge lived or died, they could disassociate themselves from the incident, and the Immortal Ascension Sect would naturally protect these pillars of the mid-Sage Realm.

And Jian Chen and his group also did not wish to make the opposition's target explicit, to prevent them from acting desperately and shamelessly, possibly taking the stage to strike at Gu Changge personally!

As for that Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm adversary, at least from what he could see now, the young master should be able to handle it.

This heaven-defying strength left even Jian Chen and Zhao Hai, two Sages of the Sword Sect, dumbstruck with awe, a pity they were currently preoccupied with the Immortal Ascension Sages and had no time to be shocked or lament.

Completing the Refinement Void Realm to the Perfection at the Sixth Grade, yet strong enough to stand against the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, and even gaining the upper hand in the first clash.

This had gone beyond everyone's expectations!

...

Upon hearing his ancestor's voice transmission, Gu Changge nodded slightly.

He casually said, "Ancestor, don't worry, it's just a trifling Ninth Grade; I'll simply cut him down!"

Such arrogant words, if uttered by someone else, would be laughable, but he truly intended to do just that.

A Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm expert was worth millions of Attribute Points; how could he let this opportunity slip away?

Even his speed increased a bit, and it didn't take long before he caught up with the Wu Family powerhouse again.

"Young man, although you are somewhat quirky, if you think you can really slay a Ninth Grade..."

"...then you're grossly underestimating me!"

The Wu Family powerhouse had icy cold eyes as he suddenly took a deep breath, his belly rapidly swelling.

With a great exhalation toward Gu Changge, a torrential Black Flame erupted from his mouth!

"How disgusting..."

"Do you really have to spit it out?"

Gu Changge, watching his belly bulge like a massive toad, couldn't help but curl his lip in disdain.

This kind of Divine Skill was too distasteful for him to bother learning.

Not to mention the power, the sheer unseemliness of it.

That being said, he still didn't dare to underestimate it.

Regardless, he was three Great Realms behind, and if he were really hit by the Divine Skill, it could hurt!

The Black Flame seemed to lock onto one's Qi Sea, moving at astonishing speed, and was unavoidable; he could only brace for impact.

While scoffing, he had already brought out the Xuanhuang Tower, which spun slightly above his head, emitting a Xuanhuang aura that formed a barrier of separation.

At the same time, a Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus appeared in his palm.

A unique Tao Rhythm formed a shield around his body, ensuring nothing could breach his defense!

So long as his Spiritual Energy wasn't exhausted, this protection from the Golden Lotus would shield him from all harm!

As for the opponent's assumption that he would run out of Spiritual Energy, that might be a concern for others, but he had four Qi Seas!

And he was constantly replenishing Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth at all times; in terms of stamina, although he might not match a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm's, he definitely far surpassed a Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm cultivator, even reaching the Spiritual Energy standard of an Eight Grade Heavenly Gate Realm!

After he had ensured his defenses were foolproof, he even snapped his fingers with a 'snap!' and instantly conjured hundreds of Flying Swords made of Tribulation Lightning!

Just forming these Flying Swords used up almost twenty to thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy!

Each Flying Sword forged from Tribulation Lightning had the terrible power to severely wound an Eight Grade Heavenly Gate Realm!

And those Flying Swords instantly formed the Formless Sword Formation around the Wu Family powerhouse, attacking from all directions, causing the great power to dodge repeatedly, unable to defend against them.

In an instant, the Black Flame had completely engulfed Gu Changge's figure.

The sky itself seemed like a sea of fire made of Black Flame, endless and vast.

"No matter how you look at it, he's just Sixth Grade in the Refining Void Realm."

"Under my Divine Skill, he shall find no chance to live!"

"Just didn't expect Jiang'er to actually be slain by him..."

The Wu Family great power watched Gu Changge be devoured by the Black Flame, finally taking a long breath.

His Black Flame, even against someone of the same Realm, was rarely endured directly; it could only be countered with Divine Skills.

Even for a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, it was not easy to avoid.

This Gu Family youngster might indeed have heaven-defying talent, but today he could only die by his hand!

What a pity for Wu Jiang... He was the hope of the entire Wu Family, their future!

Yet today, he capsized in a gutter.

Now, the only option left was to slay Gu Changge and seek vengeance for the fallen!

However, as time passed, the Wu Family Ninth Grade's frown deepened.

Supposedly, once the adversary died, their Divine Skills would also dissolve without a controller.

But several breaths had gone by, and why was he still trapped in the Sword Formation?

The Sword Formation showed no hint of dissipating!

Why wasn't the boy dead yet!?

Divine Sense pierced through the Black Flame, and he was immediately taken aback!

At this moment, Gu Changge stood there as if nothing had happened, a Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus rotating above his left hand, emitting a unique golden Tao Rhythm protecting him.

Regardless of being engulfed by the Black Flame, it simply couldn't reach him.

Initially, the Xuanhuang Tower abated some of the Black Flame's power, but it still should have seeped through.
