Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Tianzhou.

At this moment, after turning those direct disciples of the generation into his puppets, following Gu Chen's command, Qian Ming and the others immediately dispersed and rushed to various places in the world. Lurking in the dark, they hunted demons and at the same time, guarded the Nine Provinces.

The reason why they did not transform those of Saintly status into puppets as well was simply that such individuals had exceedingly resolute wills, and their true forms were at the peak of the Martial Way in the Heavenly Realm, making the task extremely difficult.

Therefore, without mercy, Gu Chen eradicated He Lianying and others.

Then, Gu Chen's gaze shifted, looking towards a certain direction in Tianzhou, he spoke coldly, "The Holy Lands no longer need to exist."

Ever since Mount Tianzhu, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and Burning Heaven Valley bore enmity with him, Gu Chen had harbored this notion.

And now, this notion could finally be put into action.

Boom!

At that instant, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and immediately, the essence of the ten directions surged towards him, incredibly dense, resembling white dragons, entering his body through his mouth and nose.

The recent battle, for Gu Chen, had also been no small drain on his energy, but now, as he absorbed the essence from all directions, it didn't take long for him to completely return to his peak condition.

Whoosh!

The next moment, he soared into the sky, heading straight for the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

Indeed, the first target Gu Chen intended to obliterate was the Vault of Sky Sword Sect!

With Gu Chen's current strength, looking all over the lower realm, aside from the leader of the demonic cult, Dugu Yun, no one else could stop him.

It could be said that he was an invincible existence!

Such a Gu Chen, heading towards the Holy Land, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, was bound to cause the inevitable.

...

Inside the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, upon hearing the "news of Gu Chen's death," every disciple was overjoyed, their faces brimming with smiles.

Because the recent battle had been too astonishing, Vault of Sky Sword Sect and the other Holy Lands had only sent people to watch from afar, unaware of the specifics of the situation.

In their minds, they simply believed that their Saint was invincible and Gu Chen was undoubtedly doomed.

And ever since Gu Chen attacked the Vault of Sky Sword Sect not long before, he had imposed immense psychological pressure on everyone there, from top to bottom.

Even the Sect Master of Vault of Sky Sword Sect felt the same, although he always appeared disdainful, it only proved his deep fear of Gu Chen.

"Why hasn't the Saint returned yet?"

At this moment, in the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's council hall, the Sect Master and a group of elders stood there, waiting for Fu Ling's return.

They believed that even if the Saint, Fu Ling, had lost in the recent battle, he, being a personage of saintly status, had a good chance of escaping unscathed and wasn't necessarily dead.

That's why they had gathered here, awaiting Saint Fu Ling.

However, as time passed, there was no sign of Fu Ling's arrival, and they couldn't help but grow anxious.

"Could it be... could it be that something unexpected has happened to the Saint?" At this moment, an elder whispered with a somewhat frightened look.

If the Saint had perished, it would hugely impact them. Not only would they lose their connection to the Nine Cauldrons' inheritance, but the upper realm might also become angered and strip them of their right to "ascend."

If that happened, they would be devastated.

"What's the panic?"

At this time, the Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect frowned and scolded, "What's with all of you lately becoming so fragile? Have you all been frightened by that Gu Chen brat? The Saint has such status, such strength, how could we possibly speculate on him? We just need to trust the Saint and patiently wait for news."

"Yes, the Sect Master teaches us right."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect all spoke up, echoing in low voices, though what they really thought, no one knew.

Thunderous boom!

The next instant, suddenly, from outside the gate of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, there came a thunderous explosion that startled everyone.

"What's going on?!"

"What happened!"

"Have the Saint and the direct disciples returned?"

The Sect Master of Vault of Sky Sword Sect frowned, and the group of elders was abuzz with discussion, clearly, they had become startled creatures.

"What has happened outside?!" At this moment, the Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect released his aura, bellowing, attempting to stabilize the chaotic scene with his strength and authority.

But at that moment, a force incredibly potent, capable of shattering the void, arrived. Instantly, it overpowered the aura of the Sect Master of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, as if comparing a true dragon to an ant, the gap was indescribably vast.

"What... what's happening?!"

In front of this overwhelmingly powerful aura, from the Sect Master to the elders and disciples of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, everyone was terrified.

Those with weaker cultivation were even forced to the ground by this force, quivering uncontrollably.

Right then, at the gate of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, amidst the howling mountain winds, a slender figure in dark robes, with hands behind his back, was advancing slowly.

His steps were slow, yet every step could traverse a great distance, almost as if he were teleporting.

"Gu... Gu Chen?!"

At this moment, an executive elder of Vault of Sky Sword Sect saw Gu Chen and immediately widened his eyes in horror.

He couldn't understand how someone who should have been dead was appearing here.

Spurt!

The next moment, his body exploded, instantly turning into a rain of blood.

This turn of events horrified the onlookers, prompting screams from everyone.
