Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The three great Elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, with their profound realms fully consummated, wore cold expressions, their eyes merciless as they stood above all, like deities gazing down upon Gu Chen.

They spoke, demanding the life of Gu Chen, yet at the same time, offered him a choice, stating that if Gu Chen were willing to cooperate, they could spare his life.

Gu Chen didn't show anger, but curiosity arose in his heart, eager to know the motives of these three from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

One of the middle-aged men from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, dressed in a cyan robe, was named Ge Tong. His gaze was icy as he looked at Gu Chen and said coldly, "The Heavenly Seed is on you, isn't it? Hand over the Heavenly Seed, and you'll get a quick end. Of course, if you cooperate well, we might even let you live."

"Heavenly Seed?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows knit tightly; sure enough, after dragging this out for so long, it had still been discovered by people from the six sacred lands.

"Lin Bai was merely a decoy, and you've had the real Heavenly Seed all along, right?" Ge Tong questioned coldly.

By now, how could they not understand that the Heavenly Seed had always been with Gu Chen?

The events that had unfolded over time were the best proof.

Without the Heavenly Seed, they didn't believe Gu Chen could have achieved what he had today, reached this point, gained such accomplishments.

At that moment, Gu Chen's expression remained calm, he didn't directly admit anything.

Because, he believed, perhaps the six sacred lands were only guessing at this point; otherwise, there would be more than these three here today—they would have executed a full-scale operation.

Of course, there was also a possibility that only the Vault of Sky Sword Sect knew of this, and to avoid startling the prey, they only sent Ge Tong and the other two.

After all, the Heavenly Seed was of crucial importance. If the Vault of Sky Sword Sect could monopolize it, why would they inform others?

"It seems the secret of the Heavenly Seed hasn't been fully exposed yet." This was also why Gu Chen was not in a panic, for he knew the Vault of Sky Sword Sect wouldn't disclose this matter.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin," Ge Tong said as he reached out, his hand already gripping the hilt of the sword weapon behind his back.

Regardless, the current Gu Chen was a top grandmaster in the realm of spiritual divinity, his fame known throughout the world, his battle achievements known to all. Even though Ge Tong and the others hailed from the six sacred lands, they didn't dare to underestimate Gu Chen in the slightest.

The fact that the Vault of Sky Sword Sect sent these three showed just how seriously they took Gu Chen.

"Why talk so much to this brat? Just capture him directly, chop off his hands and feet. Won't the Heavenly Seed then be at our whim to take?" The other two had grim faces, and with a clang, they had already drawn their long swords from behind.

Each of these three wielded a top-grade divine weapon with an imposing aura. The sharp atmosphere created by the three seemed to connect with each other, causing the very void to vibrate as if about to be sliced open.

In Zhongzhou, even the most top-tier forces possessed only a few top-grade divine weapons. Only those with a grandmaster of spiritual divinity, such as Ling Yun Valley or the Taoist Sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain, or those with extraordinary foundations like the Xiahou clan, were known to have a top-grade divine weapon. Yet even they had at most one each.

Not so with the six sacred lands, where top-grade divine weapons were so numerous, nearly every Elder of the realm of spiritual divinity held one.

Their foundation was indeed beyond comparison with other forces in Zhongzhou, including Da Xia.

Ge Tong slightly furrowed his brows; he felt Gu Chen was far too calm, but since things had come to this pass, if Gu Chen wouldn't cooperate, they had no choice but to subdue him.

After all, this time they had come with a trump card. No matter how powerful Gu Chen was, it was unlikely he could match the three of them.

Zheng!

A somber sword cry echoed through heaven and earth, and in that instant, several massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of pounds around the mountain shattered, turning into a cloud of dust.

"Gluttonous Sword Jue!"

As soon as they began the fight, Ge Tong unleashed a powerful Earthly Martial Skill known within the Vault of Sky Sword Sect. This move had been performed by a Vault of Sky Sword Sect warrior of the Innate Realm when they annihilated the Arsenal.

However, the power of Ge Tong's move was incomparably greater than that previous display.

With a thunderous roar, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi surged violently within a hundred zhang, transforming into a colossal primordial beast—a Gluttonous!

This Gluttonous seemed so lifelike, as if it were real, formed entirely of fierce sword energy. Just by standing there, it sliced the void into countless white scars.

This Earth Ranked Sword Art had been honed by Ge Tong to the grandmaster level!

At this moment, even Gu Chen's countenance couldn't help but become more solemn; Ge Tong's strength was much greater than those three from the Da Guangming Sect and Blood Cloak Tower, and the Lonely Soul.

"Hmph!"

Then, a cold snort sounded; the other two top grandmasters of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect at the peak of the divine realm also each performed an Earth Ranked Sword Art that had at least reached the minor accomplishment realm. The Heavenly Earth Essence Qi boiled as if about to explode, shaking the world, with countless sword energy stripes crisscrossing the void, densely intertwined.

"Ao!"

Suddenly, a dragon's cry sounded, and two figures of Heavenly Dragons intertwined, rising from behind Gu Chen, charging towards the three Elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

Putch!

Although Gu Chen's Eight Heavenly Dragons skill had reached the minor accomplishment realm, it was still instantly shredded by the pervasive sword energy in the void as it confronted the combined force of Ge Tong and the others.
