Rebirth in Flames, The Might of Phoenix Spirit Fire

He cautiously channeled his Internal Energy to sense the opponent's strength, only to find that their power seemed identical to his own.

It wasn't just their strength and Cultivation Level; even the rhythm of their breathing and the way they looked at people seemed exactly the same.

If he had to describe it, it was as if Gu Chen was looking in a mirror!

Realizing this, a faint smile crept onto Gu Chen's lips.

He muttered to himself, "Well, well, the guardian of this Third Divine Hall, is it another me?"

"I thought it would be troublesome, but I didn't expect it would just be me defeating myself?"

As he spoke, Gu Chen wore an expression of utter indifference.

After all, in his previous life, as the foremost Heavenly Emperor among the Three Realms since the primordial era.

There was no one in the world who could match Gu Chen.

Often, Gu Chen would be at a loss, only able to use his Spiritual Sense to condense a clone to spar with himself.

Although the clone's strength was on par with his own, Gu Chen also progressed rapidly!

Many times, Gu Chen would find his Cultivation Level advancing by leaps and bounds mid-fight.

As a result, there were times when even his own clone couldn't satisfy Gu Chen's combat needs.

Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Gu Chen looked at the other version of himself before him. He had initially wanted to stretch his muscles properly.

But he needed to obtain the treasure and improve his Cultivation Level as soon as possible, so he didn't have time to waste here.

"Still observing, are we?"

"As expected of me at this stage, truly cautious."

"But no matter how long you observe, what difference does it make?"

Gu Chen let out a cold laugh, his figure vanishing from his spot almost instantly!

At the same time, the clone standing opposite Gu Chen also disappeared in an instant!

The next second, both Gu Chen and the clone appeared simultaneously in mid-air above the crystal contribution.

BOOM!

Their palms collided, instantly erupting with layers of majestic energy ripples.

Keep in mind that Gu Chen now possessed a Cultivation Level of the Profound Gang Realm.

This meant the clone's Cultivation Level was also the Profound Gang Realm.

And when two Profound Gang Realm cultivators clash palms head-on, the resulting energy is quite terrifying!

In just a single breath, a fierce killing intent erupted in Gu Chen's eyes.

Once he set his mind on a goal, no one could stop him.

Not even himself!

As Gu Chen's killing intent surged, the energy in his palm instantly increased.

He actually shattered the other self before him!

The shattered clone turned into a cascade of ice crystals, slowly falling onto Gu Chen.

From beginning to end, Gu Chen's expression remained unchanged.

No one could stop his forward momentum.

Gu Chen stepped onto the crystal staircase step by step, finally standing directly before a cluster of light.

This cluster of light continuously spewed out a large amount of Spiritual Energy in all directions.

Simply standing near this light made Gu Chen feel that his Cultivation Level was greatly benefiting.

However, as he reached out to touch the light, a voice suddenly echoed within the crystal palace.

"Gu Chen!"

"Your life!"

The moment he heard the voice, Gu Chen knew Shi Mengying had found him.

Simultaneously, he felt a powerful killing intent approaching from behind him!

This killing intent was clearly much stronger than what he had felt at the entrance of the Lingxu Secret Realm.

Gu Chen immediately realized that Shi Mengying's Cultivation Level had improved.

However, this was within Gu Chen's expectations.

He knew that the Phoenix Bloodline flowed within Shi Mengying.

This special bloodline was, to some extent, similar to his Heavenly Dao Bone.

Both were innate treasures that could accelerate a cultivator's progress.

With the already abundant Spiritual Energy here, coupled with the boost from the Phoenix Bloodline.

Gu Chen wouldn't be surprised even if Shi Mengying had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go.

The moment he sensed the killing intent, Gu Chen didn't move an inch.

Because Gu Chen felt there was simply no need to.

However, to Shi Mengying, all of this was...

purely because her speed was too fast, leaving Gu Chen no time to react!

But in the next second, Shi Mengying was completely stunned.

Because her sword tip, just two fingers away from Gu Chen, couldn't advance another millimeter!

At that moment, Shi Mengying instinctively flinched.

Logically, her current Cultivation Level was close to the Profound Gang Realm.

And no matter how powerful Gu Chen was, his Cultivation Level definitely couldn't surpass hers.

What on earth was going on!

A great sense of confusion appeared in Shi Mengying's heart.

No matter how hard she pushed, the sword tip felt as if it were firmly bound!

"Gu Chen, die for me!"

Shi Mengying roared in anger.

But she still couldn't break through that thin barrier!

"No!"

"This is impossible!"

While Shi Mengying was still baffled and frustrated.

Gu Chen, with his back to Shi Mengying, said coldly, "Innate Realm, seventh level?"

"Stronger than those few guys, you do have some skill."

"It hasn't disgraced the Phoenix Bloodline within you."

Gu Chen spoke unhurriedly, his tone as if he were chatting with Shi Mengying about everyday matters.

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Shi Mengying's heart jolted again.

Judging from Gu Chen's words, she felt he had already met her other sisters!

However, upon closer thought, Shi Mengying felt it was normal.

Gu Youwei was Gu Chen's biological sister, and Wei Qingyu was Gu Chen's Childhood Sweetheart.

Since his Rebirth in Flames, the first two people Gu Chen would have met would definitely be Gu Youwei and Wei Qingyu.

If she hadn't arrived at the Lingxu Secret Realm in East Desolation Commandery early to wait for Gu Chen.

Shi Mengying would probably have had to wait until Gu Chen arrived at Immortal County to meet him!

"What's the point of all these useless words?"

"Gu Chen, you must die today!"

After saying this, a fierce killing intent flashed in Shi Mengying's eyes.

The entire crystal palace was filled with the wild killing aura emanating from Shi Mengying!

Behind Shi Mengying, streaks of blue light suddenly appeared.

That was the manifestation of Phoenix Spirit Fire combined with true qi, appearing outside her body.

As Shi Mengying let out an angry roar, countless Phoenix Spirit Fire surged towards Gu Chen from all directions.

However, Gu Chen merely curled his lips, and a hint of emotion finally flickered across his face.

Yet, the expression that changed was one of lazy indifference!

The next second, the Phoenix Spirit Fire landed directly on Gu Chen.

Instantly, it turned into raging flames, attempting to burn away every inch of flesh and blood on Gu Chen's body.

Shi Mengying stared at the chaotic fiery airflow in front of her and burst into wild laughter.

"Gu Chen, what are you pretending for?"

"I don't know what evil technique you used to prevent me from getting close to you."

"But you should properly experience the taste of this Phoenix Spirit Fire."

As she said this, the emotions in Shi Mengying's eyes were extremely complex.

This grudge, Shi Mengying had remembered it from her past life until now.
