Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, with the blazing sun cradled in his hand, fiercely shot through, and the grand sun in his palm collided with the monstrous eye of the storm created by the Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array.

Hum!

At this moment, it was as if the heavens and the earth had frozen; the golden sun and the fierce sword qi storm each occupied half of the sky. Upon collision, a circle of gigantic semi-transparent ripples surged outwards.

Boom!

In the next instant, a huge explosion thundered, and instantly the world shook, the storm raged on, thunder rolled, Heavenly Earth Essence Qi and true qi burst forth within a hundred yards, turning the area into a domain of destruction: golden light surged, flames soared to the sky, sword energy permeated, churning in all directions.

This entire zone was on the verge of annihilation; nothing would survive, as this force nearly obliterated everything!

The heavens and earth roared continuously, and it was quite some time before it ceased. Subtle cracking sounds arose, and unbelievably, even the void began to show several imperceptible cracks!

The power of the collision between the two forces had definitely reached the Coagulation Field level; otherwise, such an astonishing might would not have erupted, with even the void nearly unable to bear it!

Billowing smoke lingered for a long while before the scene could be clearly seen. There, on the ground, a gigantic pit had formed, bottomless and abyss-like.

And Gu Chen and the three men, Ge Tong, who had caused all this, now floated above this massive pit.

"Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array, rise again!"

Although Ge Tong and his companions hadn't expected Gu Chen to fight them to such an extent, now, with Gu Chen still alive, they had no way out.

"Slash!"

As the Sword Formation rose, it instantly drew upon the power of the heavens and the earth from this locale, forming a great sword tens of yards long that cleaved towards Gu Chen.

The Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array lived up to its name, capable of gathering the forces of heaven and earth. Pushed to its limit, it could shatter the skies and obliterate the void, and this was by no means an empty boast!

However, with Ge Tong and the others' cultivation, they were still far from bringing the array to its pinnacle.

Otherwise, even if it were a martial arts master at the peak of the Coagulation Field realm, they could have fought and even triumphed over him. Defeating Gu Chen would have been a simple task.

At that moment, as Gu Chen was about to employ his fully mastered Pure Yang Vajra Body and Three Suns Scorches the Heavens Skill to defend himself, something within him suddenly throbbed for an instant, leaving him momentarily dazed.

"Perfect opportunity!"

Seeing this, Ge Tong's eyes lit up, and they manipulated the great sword forged from the power of heaven and earth to cleave down at Gu Chen, intending to split him in two.

With the sword's might, even Gu Chen's formidable physique would, at the very least, be severely injured if he passively defended, and there was even a high chance that he would be killed on the spot!

Clang!

The sword's ringing shattered heaven and earth, and just as it was about to cleave into Gu Chen's skull, he abruptly woke up. In a rush, Gu Chen turned to the side, but still couldn't completely avoid the strike, being grazed by it. The overwhelming force blasted into his body, causing blood to trickle down the corner of his mouth as he was flung far away.

At that moment, Gu Chen's expression was one of shock and disbelief. Even now, he couldn't fathom why his heart had palpitated so. Something inside him had affected him.

"Could it be..." In that moment, a speculation surfaced in Gu Chen's mind.

Hisss!

But the very next moment, Ge Tong's attack was upon him, leaving no time for Gu Chen to ponder further without dealing with them.

"In that case..."

With that thought, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly blazed with brilliance, dazzling, with beams of light shooting from his pupils like sharp swords, very imposing.

Vault of Sky Divine Art!

Boom! At that moment, a gateway of light emerged behind Gu Chen, with the astonishing scene of fish leaping through the dragon gate. As the gateway flung open, feather-like rays of light fell upon Gu Chen, instantly doubling his combat strength — a full tenfold increase!

Boom!

Like a thunderclap or the heavens exploding, his majestic aura shook heaven and earth. Bathed in radiant light, Gu Chen stood like the sun in the sky; his eyes were cold, his hair gleamed, like a deity with an imposing majesty, overseeing all of the six directions and the Eight Desolations!

"Die!"

With a cold shout, Gu Chen transformed into a celestial body, rushing forth with a fist seal that cleansed the heavens with its holy light, sweeping across all evils and scouring the Eight Desolations!

"No——"

Ge Tong's eyes bulged with panic as they bellowed in a desperate roar, but under Gu Chen's earth-shattering punch, everything turned to ash, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Alarming and fearsome fist light flickered, the unparalleled force penetrated heaven and earth, and as Gu Chen unleashed his punch, the firmament nearly burst open!

This was the astonishing power of the Vault of Sky Divine Art, nothing short of a sensation that broke the heavens, the most mystical martial skill in Gu Chen's arsenal, or rather, up to this point, the most mystical he had ever acquired!

Yet, this was only a fragment; it was hard to imagine the full terrifying power of the complete Vault of Sky Divine Art.

Hum!

In the next instant, the light dissipated, and peace returned. Gu Chen's fluttering hair also suddenly fell, spreading silently behind him.

Swipe!

Gu Chen extended his hand and, in an instant, wiped clean the marks on the divine weapons belonging to Ge Tong and his companions, before stowing them within the seed of the heavens.

"The six great holy lands are indeed formidable." Although Gu Chen emerged victorious from this battle, it still revealed to him the strength of the six great holy lands.

The Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array was truly terrifying. Had it not been for Gu Chen, any other God realm warrior from Kyushu would have been unable to resist and would have been instantly slain.

This would be the case even for the elder of Dragon Tiger Mountain's Celestial Master Teachings.

Although Gu Chen had not witnessed the elder's true strength, he believed that faced with the Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array, even the elder could not withstand it.

This was just one Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and if all of the six great holy lands made their move together, Gu Chen would indeed face enormous trouble, with neither Da Xia nor the Tower Supervisor able to protect him.

"Fortunately, due to the affairs of the higher realms, the six great holy lands are currently distracted." This was the only piece of what Gu Chen considered good news.

The Tower Supervisor had said that to oversee the cross-realm transmission, at the very least, a martial arts master at the pinnacle of the Coagulation Field realm was needed, and not just one. Therefore, Gu Chen need not worry for now that the six great holy lands would send Coagulation Field realm powerhouses after him.

But as for Divine realm experts, it was a different story. There were many such warriors in the six great holy lands, and they were not without formidable means. The Tower Supervisor had warned Gu Chen to be exceedingly cautious.

At that moment, Gu Chen looked at his left hand. In the recent battle, he had nearly been caught off guard and severely injured, and all this happened because of the mysterious gauntlets lodged within the flesh of his left hand!
