Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Of course, with Zheng Yi's strength and holding the Ming Tian Sword, he was indeed already cautious enough. If it weren't for the One and Only Sacred Domain, Gu Chen would have to put in some effort to deal with him.

"Let's get going!"

Gu Chen's black hair was like a waterfall, his expression indifferent, and his gaze as sharp and piercing as lightning. When Han Fei met his eyes, his entire spirit sank into a daze and quickly became a puppet without self-awareness.

"What kind of evil method is this?!"

The elder, Zheng Yi, seeing this scene, suddenly felt a chill in his heart and a thought of turning around to escape arose within him.

Whoosh!

However, Gu Chen's speed was incredibly fast. He operated his absolute skill like light and electricity, making his entire being seem as if he had truly transformed into light at this moment. In an instant, he arrived in front of the elder, Zheng Yi.

He grasped the Ming Tian Sword, which was immobilized by the One and Only Sacred Domain, with his left hand. Through the dual suppression of the mysterious gauntlet's combination, even though the Ming Tian Sword was a magical artifact, it was equally difficult to resist Gu Chen.

"Hmm?!"

At this moment, Zheng Yi's eyes were filled with terror. However, he was ultimately an unparalleled martial expert in the Divine Intent Realm, he forcefully suppressed his inner fear, performed his absolute skill Sky Sword Scripture, and induced a storm of sharp sword energy that surged toward Gu Chen like a raging waterfall.

"Even Ji Xuandao in his peak years couldn't do anything to me. I won't believe I'll fall to a young man like you today!"

Zheng Yi roared, exerting all his strength to perform the Sky Sword Scripture. The three repeated methods, the infinite sword light shone as if to evolve into a sword domain, the unparalleled offensive immediately shattered the surrounding two hundred feet of heaven and earth, slicing even the void, the scene was terrifying.

However, all of this was completely useless!

The One and Only Sacred Domain released endless light, accompanied by radiant glow, it was dazzling beyond compare. Gu Chen at this moment seemed as if he was about to ascend to immortality, he was radiant to the extreme!

No matter what offensive measures Zheng Yi employed, he couldn't break the One and Only Sacred Domain, it could truly be said to be an absolute defense.

"What on earth is this method?!"

Zheng Yi was horrified, completely losing his composure. No matter how much effort he put in, in the face of that radiant and infinite cave, it seemed like a joke.

"Is this a domain?!" Zheng Yi despaired. To him, Gu Chen's strength had already surpassed the Summer Emperor of yesteryear!

"In his early twenties, having such strength in the Nine Provinces, is another Saint-like figure emerging?!"

He knew that the present Gu Chen had already become a force to be reckoned with, there was no one in the Nine Provinces who could deal with him, only a Saint could.

"I must relay this news to the Saint!" Zheng Yi thought this, transformed into sword light, and turned to leave.

But, when he turned around, he saw Gu Chen's endlessly deep eyes like a vortex.

"The Saint will not let you go..."

Zheng Yi was shocked, uttering these words with horrified eyes, then he ceased to move.

Soon, the battle here also ended, everyone was transformed into puppets by Gu Chen using the Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method to help him guard the Nine Provinces, capturing soul crystals.

As for the Ming Tian Sword and the black bell obtained from Luo Shengming, without any hesitation, Gu Chen immediately had the mysterious gauntlet devour them.

When the two magical artifacts were devoured, the mysterious gauntlet flickered with dim light, its energy exceptionally rich, and its power increased significantly!

Devouring thousands of divine weapons to grow, this might be the ability of the mysterious gauntlet as an ancient artifact. No wonder the Pure Yang Martial Sect had always been in pursuit of Gu Chen.

"A Saint?" Gu Chen murmured.

He knew a bit about the so-called saints. He also understood that the few figures he had deduced using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, whose auras were similar to his, were the saints of various sacred places.

Those few were indeed extraordinary. Even Gu Chen felt apprehensive. One-on-one might be fine, but if faced with many, he was equally uncertain.

After all, he was now only in the mid-stages of the Divine Intent Realm. If he reached the peak of the Divine Intent Realm, Gu Chen believed he would fear no one, not even the saint-level figures, even if they all came at him together.

"The urgent task is to first enhance the cultivation strength." Even now, Gu Chen still harbored a sense of urgency.

Because Dugu Yun had not appeared, Gu Chen knew very well that his true great enemy from start to end was none other than the Demon Sect Leader Dugu Yun!

As for the others, due to the restrictions of the Nine Provinces' rules, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't surpass the peak of the Divine Intent Realm, even if they were saint-level figures from across realms.

This was something that Chu Yue Ling, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, had informed Gu Chen of.

But Dugu Yun was different, his true form being that of an evil demon, he might not be bound by the Nine Provinces' rules.

"Recently, the changes in heaven and earth have begun again." Gu Chen frowned slightly. Possessing the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill, he could keenly sense the changes in the heaven and earth of the Nine Provinces.

Although there were no omens this time, Gu Chen knew a large number of demons and ghosts were already set to invade the Nine Provinces.

This was also why he refined so many Divine Intent Realm experts from the higher realms into puppets.

With these people, he could not only eradicate the demons and ghosts, cleanse the Nine Provinces, but also speed up the acquisition of soul crystals, allowing his cultivation to rapidly improve.

"Saints? I'll find a chance to capture you all in one go!" Gu Chen muttered, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

...

Tianzhou, Wuji Dao Sect.

This was a high peak shrouded in mist, ancient and full of charm, with verdant trees, spiritual springs, flying waterfalls, and unparalleled golden beauty.

At this moment, in a great hall, the uppermost seat had a painting of the Yin-Yang Two Energies, mysterious beyond measure, seemingly containing some ultimate truth of heaven and earth. The Yin-Yang Two Energies appeared to be flowing slowly and imperceptibly.

On the chief seat sat a delicate and refined young Taoist with an otherworldly aura, gentle and handsome, making it easy for others to feel good about him.

Of course, in the eyes of some powerful martial artists, this delicate and refined young Taoist was by no means simple. He seemed to be in harmony with the surrounding heaven and earth, blending into the natural order, making every move in unison with all things, merging with heaven and earth.

This young Taoist, sitting at the top with an otherworldly aura and gentle demeanor, was none other than the Saint of Wuji Dao Sect!

At this moment, he looked at the crowd below from the Wuji Dao Sect, slowly opening his mouth, "By the order of the Sacred Lord, I have come to the lower realm to seek the Nine Tripods' inheritance. This will definitely stir an earth-shattering battle in the Nine Provinces. I intend to gather all the saints crossing realms together and decide victory or defeat before finding the Nine Tripods."

Upon hearing this, the crowd of Wuji Dao Sect immediately looked up, their faces filled with extreme astonishment.

They hadn't expected the saint-level battle to begin so soon!
