As Gu Chen closed in on achieving great perfection in the Coagulation Field and was condensing the one and only Holy Field, all of Shen Zhou was once again thrown into tumult due to Bastu's challenge to Gu Chen.
Many had thought that Da Yuan would declare war on Da Xia and that Bastu would personally take action, directly annihilating Tiandu, slaughtering Ji Yuan, the Emperor of Da Xia, along with all the ministers and high-ranking officials. However, to everyone's surprise, Shiba Shitu Bastu, who had attained the Divine Intent Realm, actually wanted to challenge Gu Chen.
Although Gu Chen was now renowned throughout the land, recognized as the foremost prodigy of all times in Shen Zhou, he was still far too young. His future achievements might be boundless, but to face off against Bastu of the Divine Intent Realm now, people still did not favor his odds.
After all, not to mention Bastu's decades of fame, just the three words "Divine Intent Realm" were enough to prove everything.
