Chapter 343: False Species and True Species (4th Update!)_2
Gu Chen's eyes were cold and determined, and this time, if he did not die, once he got out, he would surely cut down those four cleanly!
At this moment, darkness surrounded Gu Chen; it was as if he had fallen into an endless void, his body continuously plummeting.
In the darkness, Gu Chen himself was the only source of light.
Thud!
At that instant, the darkness twisted slightly, and a breeze brushed past Gu Chen's body. Fresh blood splattered from his chest. Even with the protection of the Great Sun Divine Gang and the Pure Yang Vajra Body, it did not help. He was torn apart, his flesh parted from bone, the pale white of his bones clearly visible.
"A Void Storm?!"
Gu Chen let out a muffled grunt. A mere wisp of wind nearly sliced his body in half, causing him such a severe injury. He dared not imagine if a real Void Storm arrived—he'd likely be shredded in an instant, thoroughly and utterly dead, without even a complete corpse left behind.
Despite having reached a dead end, Gu Chen still did not give up. He concentrated intently, looking around for a way to escape.
"Have I fallen into the endless void?"
Outside of the Kyushu, lies the endless void, where Void Storms pass by on occasion. Even innate martial arts grandmasters, and top grandmasters in the Divine Realm, cannot survive in the endless void.
Furthermore, with the arrival of a chaotic void current, time and space could become disordered. Such power would turn even martial arts giants in the Coagulation Field into dust instantly.
Of course, some say that if you are strong enough and get caught in a chaotic void current, you could travel to the past or reach the future.
But this is merely conjecture; nobody dares to try, because failure means losing your life, a certain death.
Moreover, within Kyushu, no one truly possesses the power to ignore the chaotic void currents and disorder time and space, not even the most exalted peak masters of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If even time and space can be distorted, let alone the flesh of a martial artist. The finest divine weapons would instantly turn to dust in it.
"It is said, that if you are lucky and can locate the coordinates of Kyushu, you might be able to return."
Gu Chen pondered, but to return to Kyushu from the endless void, first you need the corresponding spatial coordinates of Kyushu, and second, the power to penetrate the void.
Clearly, Gu Chen currently possessed neither.
"I cannot die here!"
Gu Chen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve. Even in such an environment, he did not give up, pondering deeply for a way to break the situation.
As long as he did not die in a moment, Gu Chen believed he could leave this place.
Time was indeterminate before the sensation of falling finally dissipated; at last, Gu Chen felt that he could move.
"Where on earth is this?"
Gu Chen surveyed the surroundings. It was quiet and profound. There was nothing, and it was fortunate that Gu Chen's physique was extraordinary, able to sustain itself. Otherwise, he would have died due to lack of oxygen.
But if this continued for long, without nourishment for his physique and relying solely on his cultivation to sustain him, the moment his strength ran out would be the time of his death.
Then, suddenly, in the darkness, Gu Chen saw a point of light in the distance. It was as if a drowning man had grasped at a straw, a lost person in the dark seeing a guiding light. Without hesitating, Gu Chen walked toward that direction.
The light not far away faintly dispelled the surrounding darkness, revealing a narrow path. Gu Chen continued to walk along this path.
"What is this?!"
Once he recognized what it was, Gu Chen was instantly shocked.
In the distance, an oval object floated in the air, radiating fierce light like a sun.
No, more brilliant than the sun, intensely dazzling and resplendent, extraordinarily sacred. Even the celestial sun above could not compare to it. Its aura was vast and enveloping, facing it was like facing the entire world.
"A seed?"
Gu Chen watched the scene before him with some confusion. It was clearly just a seed, so why did it emit such a presence?
"It's breathing!"
Upon close observation, Gu Chen was startled. The seed seemed alive, breathing slowly, and with its breath came tidal waves of fluctuations, its light intensifying to the extreme.
It was truly as vast as a world, all-encompassing, omnipotent, giving birth to its own path and principles, engraved with the complete rules of heaven and earth.
This was the Heavenly Seed!
In all of Kyushu, from the prehistoric to the ancient, through antiquity to the recent past, there was only one, the sole Heavenly Seed!
With each breath of the Heavenly Seed, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi and the sacred glow it exuded touched Gu Chen's body, instantly healing all his injuries, leaving not even the slightest hidden damage.
"This... could this be the supreme treasure referred to by Yuwen Wind and the others?!"
Suddenly, this thought crossed Gu Chen's mind.
If such an object could not be called a supreme treasure, then Gu Chen really didn't know what else could bear the name "supreme treasure."

Clearly, Yuwen Wind and the others had made a miscalculation. This seed was the true Heavenly Seed; the vortex elsewhere was merely an illusion.
One could say that Gu Chen's misfortune had turned into a blessing, fortunate to have met the true Heavenly Seed.
One could also say that it was Yuwen Wind and Lin Bai who had inadvertently helped him, allowing Gu Chen to obtain this great opportunity unbeknownst to others.
After all, the other vortex resembled a gateway to the celestial realm, splendid and dazzling, so seductive that everyone assumed the Heavenly Seed lay there.
"If Yuwen Wind and Lin Bai knew that because of them, not only did I not die, but I also gained the greatest opportunity here, what would they think?" Gu Chen's expression was elated, his face beaming with joy.
He could well imagine that at this moment, the outside world must be in chaos, with Yuwen Wind and the others desperately battling for what they sought.
No one knew that the true opportunity had already been silently obtained by Gu Chen.
"All the better. If I had seized the opportunity in the open, the six holy lands would never let me go. But now..."
Gu Chen's eyes sparkled brightly; he took strides toward the Heavenly Seed not far away.
"Fate and timing!"
Gu Chen reached out, his hand stretching towards the floating, fiercely glowing Heavenly Seed.
Boom!
In the instant Gu Chen's fingers touched the Heavenly Seed, the seed trembled, and endless light spread out, like ten great suns rising to the sky!
