Gu Chen could feel that with each battle, he was becoming weaker and weaker. If this continued, he might die.
Of course, the situation for Wu Feng was the same. The two of them always stood on the same level, even though this was Wu Feng's home turf.
At this moment, Wu Feng's expression was extremely gloomy, even downright ugly. He had never expected that a junior like Gu Chen could fight him to this extent.
Moreover, until now, Gu Chen's gaze remained as determined as ever. Even though he could feel himself growing weaker, the young man's eyes showed no hint of evasion. Wu Feng understood that this meant Gu Chen was prepared to fight to the death.
"Very well, let's see who is the craziest of us all, who will survive to the end!" Wu Feng sneered with a fierce grin, his body soaked in blood. The mist in the space had dissipated a great deal, yet he remained fearless.
If it had been during his lifetime, Wu Feng might have already retreated by now, but after being trapped here for so many years, he had gone mad.
Since he could not live, he might as well die!
However, before dying, Wu Feng would not let Gu Chen have an easy time either.
"Then let's fight, a life-and-death battle. I will kill you, devour your spirit, replenish my essence, and then live on!"
At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes blazed with intensity, a hint of madness flashing in the depths. From beginning to end, he never showed a trace of fear.
"Kill!"
In that moment, as both men coughed up blood, they each let out a ferocious roar. With savage expressions, they abandoned all martial arts techniques and fought in close quarters, engaging in a primitive struggle.
This was the most primal way of fighting, like two trapped beasts locked in battle, their menacing roars occasionally rising and instilling fear in the heart.
After a long while, the space finally calmed down, the roars gradually weakening until they disappeared entirely.
The battle was over, and only one person was left in the arena, the sole victor!
And, unsurprisingly, that person was... Gu Chen!
He had defeated Wu Feng, the remnant soul of an ancient pinnacle warrior from the Coagulation Field Realm!
At this very moment, Gu Chen lay on the ground, covered in blood, his body in ruins and becoming very illusory, as if he would disappear the next second.
He had won, but it was a tragic victory. At the last moment, he had successfully killed Wu Feng, that ancient powerhouse, and devoured his spiritual essence.
Therefore, even though his body was illusory and had suffered great damage, Gu Chen was not worried.
As long as he devoured this spiritual space belonging to Wu Feng, his spirit could recover to its original state, or even become stronger.
After all, Wu Feng was a warrior from the Coagulation Field Realm, even though he was a remnant soul.
Moreover, Gu Chen still had his final trump card, the Heavenly Seed. He knew that with the Heavenly Seed, even if his essence was exhausted, he might not die.
This was Gu Chen's last bit of confidence.
Hum!
At this moment, Gu Chen's body started to glow. At the same time, this dim space also began to collapse gradually, everything left by Wu Feng being absorbed by Gu Chen.
No matter how you looked at it, the spirit of a Coagulation Field Realm warrior, once its essence was devoured, would bring a great harvest to Gu Chen; his spirit would be greatly strengthened, far surpassing the past, and he might even transform the intangible into the tangible, reaching the peak of the Spirit Realm.
After resolving the situation here, Gu Chen would head to the Beidou Sect. As long as the Beidou Sect submitted, the entire martial world within Da Xia would be completely at peace.

The Beidou Sect was located in Yu Xin Mansion, Zhang Ping County, in the East Province among the nine states.
As one of the top forces listed by the Diancang Pavilion, and part of the Three Great Sects, the Beidou Sect's overall strength was very strong. It was a leading force in the martial world, and across the entire East Province, it was the most powerful faction, dominating the martial affairs of the province.

The old Sect Leader of the Beidou Sect was a rare Spirit Realm master of peak perfection, with incredibly formidable power.
The Sect Leader of the Beidou Sect was also not weak, a grandmaster at the peak of the Innate Realm, with the hope of breaking through to the Spirit Realm. In the near future, he was destined to take over from the old Sect Leader and become another pinnacle master of the Beidou Sect, helping the sect to continue its prosperity.
Besides him, there were three other grandmasters at the peak of the Innate Realm in the Beidou Sect, and there were quite a few masters as well. Among them, Lu Xing's talent was the greatest. After emerging from the Spirit Realm, he was designated as the sole candidate for the next Sect Leader of the Beidou Sect.
On this day, however, the Beidou Sect received two uninvited guests at its gate.
They were two young men with extraordinary bearing, wearing robes embroidered with red clouds, exuding a somewhat ethereal aura. One of them was Bi Xin, who had a previous grudge with Gu Chen and had faced off against him before.
Unsurprisingly, the other young man was also a prodigy from the upper realm's Da Sect—the Red Cloud Sect.
Furthermore, this person was Bi Xin's brother. His name was Bi Yu, and even among the younger generation of the Red Cloud Sect, he boasted a considerable reputation, having almost no rivals in the Spirit Realm!
It could be said that even within the Red Cloud Sect, Bi Xin's older brother, Bi Yu, was still regarded as a promising figure for the future.
The strength of the Red Cloud Sect, even in the upper realm, could be considered first-class, quite extraordinary!
Bi Yu had come to the Beidou Sect today with a purpose in mind.
At this moment, the two young disciples guarding the Beidou Sect's gate knew they were no ordinary individuals. Therefore, they clasped their fists and asked respectfully in a low voice, "May I ask what business brings the two young heroes to our Beidou Sect?"
However, Bi Yu didn't even give the two young disciples a glance, walking past them directly. Seeing this, the complexions of the two young disciples immediately tightened.
Even so, they were indeed doing their duty and, after hesitating for a moment, they looked at each other and finally spoke up, "Please wait, young heroes. May we notify the higher ranks within our Sect?"
Hum!
Invisible vibrations spread out; that was the power of the spirit. How could the two young disciples match up to an upper realm prodigy like Bi Yu? In just an instant, blood streamed from the seven orifices of the two Beidou Sect's gatekeepers, and they died tragically on the spot.
Bi Yu did not even spare them a glance, as if he had nonchalantly disposed of two pieces of trash, continuing towards the Beidou Sect's gate on his own.
"Hmph!"
Bi Xin, however, disdainfully glanced at the corpses of the two young Beidou Sect disciples, snorting through his nostrils and looking at them mockingly, thinking they were overestimating themselves.
Clearly, to these two brothers, the lives of those from the nine states were insignificant.
Or perhaps it could be said that, for most—if not all—who came from the Six Holy Lands or the upper realm, it was the same.
That's why it was said that when people from the upper realm crossed realms and descended to this place, it became a disaster for the nine states, and one of the main reasons why the Tower Supervisor asked Gu Chen to stop them.
