Chapter 1002 – Replacing the Abbot (1/2)
Replacing the Abbot
The 14th!
Gu Chen advancing to Fifth Grade Great Saint was expected. But to the geniuses, it had caused a psychological impact on them. Jiang Chen’s eyes sparkled and his face brimmed with excitement. As he had not expected to be given two Immortal Pills, his advancement to the Fifth Grade Great Saint was also an unexpected breakthrough.
When he was a Fourth Grade Great Saint, he was powerful enough to kill Seventh Grade Great Saints, and also an Eighth Grade Great Saint in his half-dragon form. After advancing to the Fifth Grade of the Great Saint realm, he need not the half-dragon form to kill an Eighth Grade Great Saint opponent. In other words, except those mighty Ninth Grade Great Saints, none of the higher ups of Saint Origin Palace could match him. If he transformed, he could even kill Eighth Grade Great Saints as easy as killing a dog.
Nevertheless, if he confronted a mighty Ninth Grade Great Saint, he would be no match for the opponent even if he transformed. Every level in the Great Saint realm had a huge gap, particularly the gap between the Eighth and the Ninth grade. The Ninth Grade of Great Saint realm had always been regarded the Super Great Saint because even a powerful Eighth Grade Great Saint was merely an ant in front of a Ninth Grade.
As such, Ninth Grade Great Saints were the true superior beings in the Saint Origin World and also the true Great Saints. Regardless of how monstrous Jiang Chen was, it wasn’t easy for him to kill a true Great Saint. Even if he transformed, his must need to be at least a Sixth Grade Great Saint to kill a Super Great Saint like Desolate Emperor.
If he wanted do it without the half-dragon form, he needed to at least advance to the Seventh Grade Great Saint. At the moment, he was merely the strongest cultivator below Ninth Grade of Great Saint realm. So, it was imperative that he advance to the Sixth Grade. By then, his identity no longer needed to be concealed as none of the palace masters would be a threat to him anymore. He would, however, have one enemy—Desolate Palace. Therefore, it was no longer an issue whether he was representing the identity of Gu Chen or Jiang Chen.
“Great, this is great!”
Gu Zheng’s face was filled with smile like a blooming plant. Seeing Gu Chen getting stronger exhilarated him and every expert of Gu Palace. All of them felt greatly honoured to have such a rare being appear in Gu Palace, which helped them establish a strong position in Saint Origin Palace.
“People, now that Gu Chen has killed Sang Ba and helped boost the morale of our race, let’s talk about our next move in the war. What should we do next?”
Gu Firmament looked over at the crowd and started the discussion without wanting to return to the main hall of Great Lightning Tune Temple.
“Isn’t that obvious? In my opinion, we have to take advantage of this period of their weak morale by striking them. Though it is impossible to annihilate the entire Demon Race, at least we can force them back to the Devil World.”
“That’s right. Since all of people of Saint Origin Palace have come to fight the war, we have to show the imposing demeanour of Saint Origin Palace. Let’s make a concerted effort to eliminate the entire Devil Race. In this way, we will fortify the position of Saint Origin Palace in other people’s heart.”
“Agreed. We have to strike them when their morale is at its lowest. This is the right time of eliminating them.”
……..
Discussions and comments were heard. The majority of them suggested launching an attack to the Devil Race immediately, just like hitting the iron while it was hot. There would be a bloody war between the two races anyway, and the war had been put on hold for several days. So, it was necessary attack the Devil Race now, to force them back into their lands. Otherwise, it would wane the morale of Human Race if the devil army continued occupying half of the land of Western Domain.
“Gu Chen, what do you think?”
Gu Firmament looked over at Gu Chen.
“From my point of view, I would say, we don’t have to rush the attack,” said Jiang Chen.
“Is this some kind of joke? We have already gained the upper hand. There’s no reason to be inactive.” Narang Yunhe said sneeringly.
“I said that we don’t have to rush the attack, instead of not attacking at all. In fact, we don’t have to attack at all. If my estimation is right, the devil army will launch an all-out attack in at most half an hour’s time,” said Jiang Chen.
“You are boasting without shame. How do you know the devil army is going to attack? With their current morale, they surely won’t attack.”
Desolate Wuleng let out a cold humph. By just seeing Jiang Chen made him feel incomparably uncomfortable, let alone hearing Jiang Chen’s voice.
“The Devil Race isn’t like the Human Race. They are a vicious race. The death of Sang Ba won’t reduce the morale of the devils in a short period of time. It will only drive them crazy because the death of the genius also meant the Great Devil Curse is gone. So, in this short period of time, instead of having low morale, their morale reached the peak. So, I am sure that in at most half an hour, the devil army will attack us. What we need now is to be prepared for it,” said Jiang Chen in a resolute and confident tone.
It was a mistake if these people were the ones anticipating the Devil Race’s moves.
“How do you know that? I guess what you said are all just speculation.” Someone said.
*Hong Long…*
But as soon as this man’s voice drop, the void in the direction of the Devil World burst into a large opening. Powerful devil waves rushed out. It felt as if those were the Qi of several Super Devil Saint. The devil waves spread across, encompassing half of the Western Domain.
