CHAPTER 699 AWAKENED INNER POWER

“As long as we are able to obtain Chen Hao’s body, then I will be able to get back to the peak. The Gu

Family will then be moved to the Border Realm, which is an exciting world. With that, the Gu Family will

finally become real masters of the world as we gain our strong ground between the Heavens and the

Earth!” The Great Ancestor laughed as he exclaimed.

“Hahaha, good question. Of course, that is not the main reason. Even though Chen Hao’s body is the

best selection, Gu Yuehong and the others are too foolish. They have made me restless while waiting

for them and yet they still did not manage to deliver Chen Hao to me. Moreover, I am worried that Gu

Yuehong might harm my future body, so I have no other choice but to emerge again in advance. And

for that, I will be needing a suitable body to be my vessel!” the Great Ancestor said.

“But the two of you barged in right at this moment. Both of you possess enough spiritual energy,

especially the son beside you. There will be no one as suitable as him in my opinion!” the Great Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Ancestor exclaimed as he stared at Chen Hao.

“What? He is your grandson, and yet you aren’t willing to spare him?” Gu Yuxiao said with much

surprise.

To be perfectly honest, Gu Yuxiao would feel no regrets if they were to sacrifice Gu Feng.

Since he was a vicious murderer who would kill people without mercy, like a ruthless demon, it would

be better if he were to be killed.

But when she knew that the person who would be decimating Gu Feng was the Great Ancestor of the

Gu Family that the whole family revered, Gu Yuxiao felt somewhat uncomfortable!

“I have no other choice. But come to think of it, the Gu Family had been scattered out too much since a

long time ago. It would be worth it for you to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the Gu family’s future!”

The Great Ancestor smiled bitterly.

Astonishment flashed through Chen Hao’s eyes!

No wonder he could feel a sudden rush of danger when he came in; he never would have guessed that

an old man like him would be so malicious.

There was even a saying that went, ‘even a vicious tiger would not eat his cub’, for no one was capable

of hurting their own children!

But he would not even spare his own descendants!

Unconsciously, Chen Hao took a few steps backward.

“Do not be afraid. Haha! I will not let you feel a single bit of pain!” The Great Ancestor laughed coldly as

he said that and rushed immediately toward Chen Hao!

Chen Hao reflexively surrounded his whole being with his Celestial Vital Energy to block his advance

as the spirit soon reached his immediate front!

Boom!

His soul was still shook when he rushed toward him even though he had put up his defenses with his

Celestial Vital Energy.

Despite him withstanding the Great Ancestor’s advance, it still made Chen Hao’s whole body tremble

as he felt a sharp sensation in the back of his throat; immediately after that, he spat out a mouthful of

blood.

“Do not fight back or you will feel even worse!” The Great Ancestor laughed menacingly.

But his laughter soon froze on his face and he was immediately filled with disbelief!

“I have mastered the Soul Manipulation Technique completely. I am perfectly familiar with its workings,

so there should not have been any problem! But why is it when I touch your soul, there would be a big

surge of energy pushing me away!” The Great Ancestor gave up on his attacks and instantly stepped

back; he distanced himself from Chen Hao approximately thirty feet away.

He looked at Chen Hao in surprise and confusion.

No matter how powerful and capable one’s soul was, it would still be impossible for him to not be able

to absorb it according to his abilities, especially when it came to the disciples of the Gu family, for

nobody would be able to possess such spiritual power.

But now, he was unable to even approach this young man’s soul, let alone attack it; he nearly ended up

having his own soul disintegrated when he attempted the attack just now.

How could this be?

“Y-You’re not one of the Gu Family’s descendants? Who exactly are you?” The Great Ancestor was

extremely clever; he immediately realized that something was wrong with the current situation.

This young man’s strength just now was exceptionally strong, so very strong to the extent that it felt like

he would have been able to destroy everything within the Heavens and Earth; he was lucky that he

managed to back off in time.

“Great Ancestor, his name is Gu Feng. How could he not be one of the Gu Family’s descendants?” Gu

Yuxiao explained.

“I know Gu Feng. Gu Yuehong has always trained him to be the next heir. I know everything regarding

his strengths and capabilities. But the spiritual power of this person here is so strong that it is terrifying.

He definitely is not Gu Feng!” the Great Ancestor said warily.

Gu Yuxiao was also looking at Gu Feng in shock.

In fact, she did feel that things were a little bit strange.

The look in Gu Feng’s eyes was never like this before.

“What you said was right. I am definitely not Gu Feng.” Chen Hao smiled slightly.

He also could not figure out why he felt as if everything was spinning around when the Great

Ancestor’s soul collided with his, but right after the collision, he immediately felt a sudden rush of vital

energy surrounding his whole body.

The huge amount of vital energy that was gushing out from his body felt like how water gushed out

from a broken dam, like when the water god, Gonggong, crashed into the Buzhou Mountains that

supported the heavens; the huge outflow of vital energy made Chen Hao feel an upsurge of strength.

The power he possessed was so terrifying, as it seemed to contain the potency to destroy everything

that had ever existed; this made Chen Hao suddenly think that he no longer needed to be afraid of the

old man in front of him.

“Huh? Y-You’re not Gu Feng? Then who are you?” Gu Yuxiao asked in disbelief.

“I am the one who killed Gu Feng!” Chen Hao said nonchalantly.

“What? You killed Gu Feng?” Gu Yuxiao took a few steps backward. Moments later, she finally had an

idea of who this person right in front of her really was. Could it be him?

The Great Ancestor was already enraged. “You bastard. Not only did you kill my descendant, you even

disguised as him and infiltrated the secret room. No wonder your Qi felt so different from the Qi of the

Gu Family’s descendants!” He stepped forward again as he attempted to make a move again, but he

instantly stopped in his tracks, because he noticed that there was a golden glow that seemed to be

covering the whole of Chen Hao’s body; it was the golden glow that injured him.

“What is this? Why is your spiritual energy getting more and more powerful? It was just a few moments

ago, but now I can already feel that your energy has risen up more?” said the Great Ancestor in

disbelief as he widened his eyes.

“I’m also puzzled. I felt my spirit shudder with great shock when you knocked into me just now. It felt as

if something that was being held back within me has broken through its confinement and is releasing

intense strength toward my whole body!” said Chen Hao. He was curious too as he spoke nonchalantly.

“Filled with energy?” the Great Ancestor asked in surprise.

“Exactly. It felt like an energy that is even able to destroy the whole world. To be honest, Great

Ancestor, I think I can take you out instantly right now. I wonder how you were able to do that?” Chen

Hao said in surprise. “I think this all originated from that collision from you just now. Why don’t you try

colliding into me once again?” Chen Hao smirked.

“This…” The Great Ancestor was panting heavily. The golden glow around Chen Hao was making a

circle that enclosed him; it seemed to have fully materialized in the real world and was emitting a

terrifying energy.

He took a few steps back unknowingly when he heard what Chen Hao said.

“The first cycle of the Essence of Nine Cycles. T-This looks like the energy release from the first cycle

of the Essence of Nine Cycles!” The Great Ancestor stared at Chen Hao, as if he finally understood

something.

At that moment, he looked at the young man right in front of him with much shock. Immediately, his

eyes widened so much that they were almost falling out of their sockets as he exclaimed, “Y-You’re

Chen Hao!!!”
