Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Chen stood his ground and did not pursue.

It was not that he couldn't catch up, but at this stage, he could not kill Lin Bai.

Because, for Gu Chen, Lin Bai was more valuable alive.

After all, at present, everyone in the sacred land believed that Lin Bai had acquired the greatest opportunity in the sacred land before the six major holy places.

If Gu Chen were to kill Lin Bai here today, then the six major holy places would turn their attention to him.

Without a doubt, after Lin Bai's death, the six major holy places would believe that the divine heirloom had fallen into Gu Chen's hands. Moreover, with Gu Chen having slain Yuwen Wind and two others, the six major holy places would spare no expense to deal with him.

But now it was different. With Lin Bai to share the pressure, in the eyes of the six major holy places, the divine heirloom was more important than Yuwen Wind, Xi Mu, and Ouyang Yu.

After all, holy places didn't lack geniuses, but there was only one such divine heirloom throughout history in the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, the six major holy places would definitely focus on Lin Bai, who happened to be the young master of the Six Union God Sect. If they were to deal with Lin Bai, they would have to confront the magic sect.

In this way, it would greatly weaken the power of the Six Union God Sect.

With this in mind, Gu Chen decided to spare Lin Bai and let him attract fire in the spotlight.

Moreover, after using the Blood Demon Sky Escape Skill, more than half of Lin Bai's blood had burned away, deeply affecting him. His strength would surely plummet to the bottom, and it was very likely that his martial arts capabilities would regress to the Innate Realm.

The importance of essence blood to a martial artist goes without saying. Lin Bai had just burned more than half of his blood in an instant to prevent Gu Chen from catching up to him, which is why he could escape so swiftly, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

One had to say, Lin Bai was indeed decisive, fearing that a moment's delay would result in being killed by Gu Chen.

But if he knew that Gu Chen had no intention of killing him, Lin Bai might have been angered into unconsciousness.

"I hope you live a long time," Gu Chen said, looking in the direction Lin Bai had fled. This was the first time he wished for his enemy not only to survive but also to live longer.

After all, the longer Lin Bai lived, the more fire he could draw to himself for Gu Chen.

Even now, Gu Chen wondered if he had been too hard on him. Having been severely injured by Gu Chen and then using the Blood Demon Sky Escape Skill, Lin Bai might have died outright in his escape.

If Lin Bai knew what Gu Chen was thinking at this moment, it's unclear whether he would feel sad or relieved.

The news of Gu Chen killing the successors of Mount Tianzhu, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and Burning Heaven Valley spread quickly throughout the spiritual realm.

Moreover, the news of Lin Bai being defeated by Gu Chen also spread throughout the entire spiritual realm.

Everyone was incredibly shocked; they hadn't expected not only that Gu Chen was still alive, but that he had also broken through to the Innate Realm. He had killed three holy place successors and had critically injured Lin Bai, who had barely escaped with his life at the cost of burning up half of it.

Of course, many people also believed that Gu Chen's attack on Lin Bai was partly motivated by the desire for the treasure.

"Quick, the opening of the spiritual realm is imminent. We must find Lin Bai's whereabouts as soon as possible." Wuji Dao Gate, Cloud Heaven Palace, and Sumeru Buddhist Sect, the remaining three major holy places, were searching for Lin Bai's trace by all possible means.

It must be said, Lin Bai was quite miserable. Having been badly injured by Gu Chen, he had to hide in fear every day.

During this time, Gu Chen spent his days quietly. Lu Chang and other commanders from the Jing Tian Department in East Province were very happy to learn that Gu Chen had not only survived but also advanced to the Innate Realm. Gu Chen had been with them all this while.

Gu Chen, merged with the divine heirloom, was aware that the spiritual realm would collapse completely in a few more days.

The divine heirloom was essentially the core of the spiritual realm, which came into being because of it. Now that Gu Chen had taken it, the spiritual realm naturally could not continue to exist.

From ancient times, spanning the Ancient and Middle Ages, after endless years, the spiritual realm that had been passed down to this close ancient era had finally reached its limit.

Due to the imminent collapse of the spiritual realm, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi there was diminishing by the day, constantly depleting.

As the owner of the divine heirloom, Gu Chen was acutely aware of the collapse of the spiritual realm.

The disintegration of a small world was a very rare experience in the Nine Provinces. Gu Chen had been quietly contemplating all this time, hoping to gain some insight.

Although the divine heirloom had already given birth to Dao and reason, containing rules and the power of worlds, with Gu Chen's current realm, even merged with the divine heirloom, he was completely unable to comprehend it.

Soon, seven days passed, and the spiritual realm finally reached the end of its life, coming to the edge of collapse.

"Sorry, Eldest Senior Brother, we still haven't found Lin Bai."@@novelbin@@

At this moment, disciples from Wuji Dao Gate, Sumeru Buddhist Sect, and Cloud Heaven Palace, along with those from the other three major holy places, had gathered together.

Hearing this, Xuan One and the others frowned. They knew that once the spiritual realm opened and everyone returned to the Nine Provinces, it would be much harder to locate Lin Bai than it was now.

If Lin Bai was determined to hide, given the vastness of the Nine Provinces, even the six major holy places, no matter how powerful, would not be able to search every inch of the Nine Provinces in a short time.

Moreover, the Six Union God Sect was extraordinarily powerful, especially Dugu Yun, the sect leader, whose martial arts prowess had reached the pinnacle of the current Nine Provinces, something even the six major holy places somewhat feared.
