"Four years...can Ye Chen kill Chi Yuan on his own?"
Gan Hong was extremely heavy-hearted.
Since You Rongxuanqing has given Ye Chen the opportunity to rewrite his destiny, it means that the mysterious saint of Tianfeng Pavilion will not become an obstacle for Ye Chen to kill Chi Yuan, or at least will not interfere in the direct confrontation between the two.
Even so, given the difference in strength and talent between Ye Chen and Chi Yuan, killing Chi Yuan would be an incredibly difficult task.
If Ye Chen fails to kill Chi Yuan in four years, not only will Ye Chen die, but his entire lineage will also be buried with him, with no chance of survival!
"who?!"
Just as Gan Hong was worrying about the road ahead, a sudden sense of crisis that made his scalp tingle came over him. He saw a ripple like water appear in front of him, and then a jade worm the size of a thumb appeared before him.
"Hehe... It's been a long time since I've come out for some fresh air. The air in the Great World is so fresh."
The Hateful Heaven Gu stood up rather human-like, lazily twisting its insect body, its youthful yet somewhat wicked voice filled with comfort and ease.
Gan Hong stared intently at the Hate-Heaven Gu, and cautiously asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, who are you...?"
"Who are your fellow Daoists?"
The Hate Heaven Gu glared at Gan Hong with its pair of blue-green beady eyes. Instantly, an immense pressure surged forth, pressing Gan Hong to the ground. Then, it smugly hummed and said, "Even that brat Lin Xiao has to respectfully call me 'Boss.' What are you, daring to call me 'fellow Daoist'?"
This emperor?
Gan Hong was terrified upon hearing this. This tiny insect was actually a Great Emperor?!
Ye Chen's heart was pounding. He already knew that the ancestor's name was Lin Xiao, and that the ancestor's cultivation at its strongest was at the peak of the ninth level of the Saint Realm. If this insect was really the ancestor's boss, then it was probably a true emperor!
But... how could a being of the Great Emperor level be a mere insect?
"You're the bug, your whole family are bugs!"
The Hate-Heaven Gu seemed to hear Ye Chen's thoughts. Its beady eyes widened, and it flicked its fleshy little tail, slapping Ye Chen's forehead with a loud crack. "Remember, my name is Hate-Heaven Gu, also known as the Hate-Heaven Emperor! Since you are a descendant of that brat Lin Xiao, you shall call me Emperor Venerable from now on."
"Also, you're not allowed to treat me like an insect anymore. Have you ever seen an insect this big?!"
Before he could finish speaking, the scene before Ye Chen suddenly changed. He was greeted by a vast expanse of green. Looking up, he saw an enlarged version of an insect, tens of thousands of feet tall. Its huge blue-green beady eyes looked down at Ye Chen, bringing a sense of oppression that could suffocate even those with megalophobia.
Ye Chen's heart trembled. He subconsciously thought that he had never seen it before, but now he had...
These thoughts were naturally overheard by the Hate-Heaven Gu. It dispelled the illusion and angrily pounded Ye Chen's head with its short tail: "You bug, you bug, you're just as deserving of a beating as that brat Lin Xiao! If it weren't for my master sending me to assist you, I would have destroyed you for a hundred lifetimes if I hadn't done it!"
What? This insect... no, this Emperor of Hatred actually has a master?
Ye Chen was shocked. An Emperor-level being had actually recognized another as his master. Just how terrifying was this master?
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Chen was overjoyed. No matter who the other party was, sending a Great Emperor to assist him was an incredible opportunity that he had to seize.
At that moment, Ye Chen prostrated himself before the Hate Heaven Gu, sincerely apologizing, "It was this humble one who offended you, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"That makes more sense."
The Hateful Heaven Gu nodded in satisfaction, circled around Ye Chen, sniffed, and exuded a human-like sense of contentment: "Ah...it's the fragrance of hatred!"
He flew up to Ye Chen and said in a wicked tone, "Kid, you hate that guy named Chi Yuan, don't you? Want to kill him and get revenge?"
"I want to! I wish I could grind him to dust!"
Ye Chen said with hatred in his voice, then earnestly pleaded with the Hate Heaven Gu, "Please, Your Majesty, help me!"
"Hoo hoo, if you want revenge, then obediently become my host body, otherwise you'll never be able to defeat him in this lifetime."
With an eager glint in its eyes, the Hateful Gu Bean coaxed, "As long as you become my host body, you can continuously draw cultivation power from me. Back then, Lin Xiao relied on me to reach the ninth level of the Saro realm in just three thousand years. Otherwise, he would have been destroyed by Qin Xuantian, that chosen one of destiny."
"Now that you have become the chosen one, with my assistance, given time, you will surely surpass Lin Xiao and achieve eternal glory!"
Ye Chen was deeply moved and excited. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly replied, "This humble one is willing to become the Emperor's host!"
"Very well, then this emperor is here."
A beam of azure light shot from the forehead of the Hate Heaven Gu and entered Ye Chen's brow. After establishing a soul contract with Ye Chen, it directly entered Ye Chen's dantian.
"Hate arises!"
Within Ye Chen's dantian, the Hate Heaven Gu hovered above the sea of spiritual energy. It opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely, instantly transforming the hatred in Ye Chen's heart into tangible black energy, which was then swallowed by the Hate Heaven Gu.
"Hiccup... It's been so long since I've tasted such delicious hatred."
The Hateful Heaven Gu, curled up in mid-air, let out a satisfied burp, and then lazily said to Ye Chen, "Boy, hurry up and refine the spiritual power that I'm feeding you back. If nothing unexpected happens, it'll be enough for you to advance several minor realms."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the spiritual power fed back by the Hatred Heaven Gu.
"This spiritual power..."
The spiritual energy fed back by the Hatred Heaven Gu was not much, but its quality was unimaginably high. Ye Chen absorbed only one portion, and his cultivation broke through the eighth level of the Spirit King and advanced to the ninth level.
