Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"What on earth is happening outside?!"

Hearing the screams and cries of alarm, the Sect Master and elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect within the council hall grew increasingly anxious. They wanted to go out, but found the doors locked tight, utterly preventing their exit.

"Could it be... Could it be that Gu Chen has come to kill us?!" A Divine Intent Realm elder trembled, his voice quivering as he spoke.

"Bullshit!" The Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect cursed immediately, saying, "Have you gone mad? That little bastard is dead, dead!"

Bang!

The next moment, before his words had completely faded, the council hall's doors exploded, and a figure appeared that instilled boundless fear in all members of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

Behind him lay a road paved with blood, countless disciples of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect had died horribly, with blood almost completely drenching the ground red.

"What... what have you done?!"

An elder with bloodshot eyes screamed furiously, his body trembling uncontrollably, and despite his fear, he charged at Gu Chen.

Regrettably, it was futile. The moment he moved, he exploded into a spray of blood and bone that scattered in all directions.

"Gu Chen... You're actually not dead?!"

The Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect looked at Gu Chen in horror, this was not at all what he had expected!

"Why would I be dead?" Gu Chen's expression remained calm, a faint smile curling at his lips as he mockingly surveyed everyone present.

"Where is the Saint Child? Why didn't he kill you? What trickery or scheme did you use to escape?"

The Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect kept questioning. In truth, the fact that Gu Chen had appeared here without Fu Ling already proved something, but he refused to believe it.

"He's dead, and soon you'll see him," Gu Chen said just like that, prompting all the people in the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's council hall to widen their eyes and open their mouths, completely dumbstruck.

This news alone would cause an immense stir in the upper realms, let alone what it meant for them.

It was a shocking piece of news that could drive them insane!

"Impossible, impossible!" The Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect shouted hysterically, unwilling to accept it no matter what.

"From the start, we should have killed you at all costs!" The Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot, almost bleeding.

No matter what, he could never have imagined that one day, the vast holy land would meet its end at his hands.

"Too bad, you no longer have that chance." Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, so speaking, and without any visible action, the Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's body exploded violently, his organs and flesh sprawling across the ground.

This scene made many elders sit heavily on the ground, their bodies shuddering uncontrollably, no longer retaining their usual air of superiority that they held as members of the holy land when facing warriors from all over and others.

"Don't... don't kill me..." At this point, an elder spoke, begging for mercy. After the first one, came a second, and soon the pleas rose and fell in quick succession.

Naturally, no one wished to die if they could avoid it.

Unfortunately for them, standing before them now was the butcher of the Nine Provinces, countless had died by Gu Chen's hand. Ever since he arrived in this world, he has followed a path of no leniency towards his enemies.

These people may appear pitiful now, but in fact, back then each and every one of them had been arrogant and condescending beyond measure. Had they been victorious, they would have been tenfold, a hundredfold more excessive than Gu Chen.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Alongside a series of screams, Gu Chen stood expressionlessly there, as one blood mist after another exploded, and one by one, the elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect met their deaths. Standing there, a three-foot radius around him was a pure land, free of any filth that might intrude.

Very soon, the entire Vault of Sky Sword Sect had quieted down. The holy land that had towered over the nine provinces since the ancient era was, as of today, extinguished at the hands of Gu Chen.

The inheritance that had persisted through endless years, from today onwards, was also declared completely finished.

Gu Chen stood there like a cold and merciless overlord. Though young in age, he already possessed an undeniable majesty and grandeur.

At the same time, he had accomplished something unprecedented, the first holy land to be eradicated since the ancient era.

And moreover, by a single person!

This event was enough to be recorded in the annals of the nine provinces, but for Gu Chen, it was merely a beginning.

He did not rush to inspect the various treasures of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, but instead, with a flash of his figure, left the place to head towards the next holy land.

That place was—Mount Tianzhu.

Although the power preserved in Mount Tianzhu was relatively intact, and its sect master, along with the elders of the Coagulation Field Realm, Divine Intent Realm, and even those in slumber, were present, it was still in vain.

In front of Gu Chen as he was now, there was basically no one in the entire nine provinces who could contend with him, except for Dugu Yun and Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty from the upper realm. To say he was the first of this era was truly not an overstatement.

The people of Mount Tianzhu were clearly shocked by Gu Chen's appearance and also keenly sensed that something was amiss, as well as the thick scent of blood on Gu Chen.

Immediately, the sect master of Mount Tianzhu woke the slumbering Divine Intent Realm beings, but facing Gu Chen, who had reached the late stage of the Divine Intent Realm, without a Heaven's Person Realm emerging, the presence of more people became meaningless.

Very quickly, under the terrified gazes of those from Mount Tianzhu, they followed in the footsteps of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and were utterly eradicated.

The two slumbering beings of the Divine Intent Realm could not withstand even a single move from Gu Chen and miserably perished before everyone's eyes.

Next, Gu Chen arrived at Burning Heaven Valley. The fate of this holy land, naturally, was the same as that of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Mount Tianzhu, all resistance was futile, ruthlessly extinguished by Gu Chen.

Having eradicated three holy lands, Gu Chen's robes remained spotless, his body glowed, pure and flawless. When not displaying his might, he was like a godly being of another world standing there.

But when he took action, it was as if a mighty overlord from the nine netherworlds, cold and merciless.

The events that transpired at the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley were learned by the remaining three holy lands, which were the Ji Dao Gate, Cloud Heaven Palace, and Sumeru Buddha Sect.

Thanks to the three Zhen Yuan figures, they understood exactly what had happened and were aware of everything.

At the same time, the three Zhen Yuan figures also issued a strict order to them to act as if they knew nothing, and before long, they would leave the nine provinces and head to the upper realm.

As for the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and Mount Tianzhu, these three great holy lands, they would remain here forever.

The three holy lands that had existed in the nine provinces for endless years were thus destroyed on the same day by the same person.

This news was undoubtedly shocking. Once it spread, the entire nine provinces would be engulfed in an incomparable huge storm, leaving everyone stunned.

The destruction of three holy lands was a signal!

Also, the pattern of the nine provinces would now face a thorough transformation!
