Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1523 - 370: Overbearing Across Ten Thousand Miles, Unrivaled with My Presence
Chapter 1523: Chapter 370: Overbearing Across Ten Thousand Miles, Unrivaled with My Presence
On the Island of Origin, amid a dense jungle, Gu Cang and Gu Mo stood, holding a palm-sized compass in their hands, the needle on it shaking constantly.
This was a secret treasure, as rare as a holy artifact, which Gu Cang had stumbled upon years ago while exploring a cave heaven, capable of locating both treasure and people.
The ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan had silently captured a trace of Gu Chen’s aura and handed it over to the Holy Gate, which in turn was given to the brothers Gu Cang, ordering them to find Gu Chen on the Island of Origin and slay him.
From their arrival to the present, Gu Cang and Gu Mo had been searching for Gu Chen, but although the compass was comparable to a holy artifact, it was not omnipotent; the farther away from the target, the weaker the perception, and sometimes it was intermittent, delaying the brothers quite some time.
Fortunately, during this time, Gu Cang and Gu Mo had come across some opportunities, so it wasn’t a fruitless effort.
However, for the two of them, who had reached the great perfection of the Primordial Realm, the only way to break through was to devour enough fellow top Primordial Realm experts or to obtain some astonishingly powerful ancient treasure; otherwise, achieving the Inquiry Realm seemed far off.
Of course, if there were Inquiry Realm beings that they could absorb, with the demonic nature within their bodies, they could advance in one fell swoop, but clearly, such conditions were impossible.
Moreover, there were only so many beings in the Inquiry Realm in the upper worlds, and none of them were easy to deal with.
Therefore, the brothers still set Gu Chen as their primary target.
Not to mention the long-standing grudge between Gu Chen and the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
"Let’s go, in the northeast direction!"
Gu Cang looked at the compass in his hand, and after advancing some distance, the needle began to move again, pointing in a certain direction.
The two turned into a pair of black smokes, blending into the void, their speed terrifyingly fast, and in a blink, they had vanished from sight.
...
Within the Heavenly Seed World, having broken through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm, Gu Chen felt a significant increase in strength with every move he made!
This was a very tangible feeling, for his cultivation had increased by an incredible hundred thousand years.
All this was thanks to his profoundly deep foundation – no one else’s breakthrough to the Primordial Realm could match the gains he had made.
"If only I could break through to the Inquiry Realm while on the Island of Origin," Gu Chen muttered to himself, his deep eyes flickering with sharp cold light.
Once he broke through to the Inquiry Realm, upon leaving, Gu Chen would immediately seek out the five ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan to settle accounts.
He wasn’t the type to delay taking revenge – if he was capable, Gu Chen would not hold back, and there was no need to.
"I don’t know how long the Island of Origin will appear this time; I must seize the moment," thought Gu Chen, his figure also appearing in the outside world.
While he continued to search for treasures, on the other side, Gu Cang and Gu Mo were steadily closing the distance to him.
As the distance decreased, the needle on Gu Cang’s compass shook more violently, bringing joy to their faces, knowing they were getting very close to their target.
On the other side, Gu Chen, feeling something while flying, furrowed his brows, stood still, and turned his eyes to look into the distance.
He sensed that, five thousand miles away, two powerful beings at the great perfection of the Primordial Realm were rapidly approaching in his direction, seemingly having locked onto him.
The intense malice and murderous intent were clearly perceived by Gu Chen.
"Who could it be – the Golden Roc Clan, the Three-Eyed God Clan, the Fire Sect... or the Holy Gate?" Gu Chen, in a deep black robe, stunningly handsome with features as sharp and sculpted as if chiseled, stood quietly where he was.
The reason he didn’t flee was naturally due to his overwhelming self-confidence in his own strength; in fact, if Gu Chen wanted to escape, there was no one in the upper world capable of stopping him, let alone just two great perfection Primordial Realm beings.
"In the past, they were unattainable, known as the most powerful existences, but now, in my view, they are merely so-so," Gu Chen whispered, his voice exceptionally calm.
Mainly, he was now standing at this level himself; with his foundation and reserves, he was more than capable of dominating this realm, fearless of any foe!
Whoever came would be the same; no one would be his opponent, and to face him, they could only rely on sheer numbers.
This was an invincible belief that Gu Chen had established in himself through battle after battle!
In the distance, Gu Cang and Gu Mo continued to close in; five thousand miles was truly insignificant for top beings of the Primordial Realm.
However, they were also very sharp, and Gu Cang uttered softly in surprise, "The target has stopped moving? That’s quite some confidence."
With that, a cold smile appeared on the corners of the brothers’ mouths, which to them was naturally very pleasing.
Otherwise, with the spatial treasure Yuding, if Gu Chen wanted to flee, it would indeed be problematic for the two of them.
"So close at hand!"
The next moment, Gu Cang and Gu Mo saw Gu Chen’s figure not far away.
"Is it you?"
At this time, Gu Chen also saw the two; although he had never met Gu Cang and Gu Mo face to face, because of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, he had quite an understanding of the former.
As for the latter, seeing his resemblance of about fifty to sixty percent to Gu Cang, Gu Chen figured out their relationship.
"You’ve hidden yourself well enough," said Gu Chen, his eyes moving as he sized up the two.
Gu Cang’s expression was cold, and black qi flowed in his eyes; without any concealment of his killing intent, he said, "Little beast, you killed my son Gu Yan; I’ll give you a chance – kneel on the ground, repent, apologize to my son, and then kill yourself before me, and perhaps you won’t suffer too much torture."
Gu Mo stood by, demonic aura emanating from his entire body, silent, his cold pupils fixed on Gu Chen like a venomous snake.
"Do you feel very confident?" Gu Chen asked Gu Cang, not annoyed, but simply inquiring.
Gu Cang sneered with a chilling smile and said, "You think that just because you’ve broken through to the Primordial Realm, you can truly rival me?"
"If you had time to grow, I might actually fear you a bit, but now, you’ve lost your last chance. I’m going to skin you, draw your bones, and swallow your spirit!"
Gu Cang’s face twisted with ferocity. Once upon a time, as the monarch of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the overlord of a vast domain, he would have been feared and enjoyed luxurious splendor; how would he have ended up like now, like a rat crossing the street?
Moreover, his most beloved and talented son died openly at Gu Chen’s hands, all of which filled Gu Cang with immense hatred.
In his view, everything started with Gu Chen, and if he had just surrendered obediently and offered up the Nine Cauldrons while still in the lower realms, would there have been so many troubles now?
"Little beast, prepare to die!"
Although Gu Chen was looked down upon, to avoid an upset in the dark, Gu Cang still directly exerted his full power. Demonic energy surged like a demonic sea crashing down, with a grandiose momentum that caused the mountain range to crumble at the first moment.
Gu Chen bore a transcendent grace, his figure standing out, and after his physical body achieved sainthood, his physique had become incomparably strong, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with unparalleled individuals in the Primordial Realm!
He lifted his palm, and invisible ripples spread, like the hand of a world itself; within it, cycles of creation and destruction of the heavens and the earth could be seen, terrifyingly powerful.
Boom!
The sky startled and the earth trembled, the void shattered, the mountain range under their feet was completely destroyed, and a visible, fearsome shockwave spread in all directions.
Gu Mo stood by, covering for Gu Cang, believing that among the two of them, one was sufficient to deal with Gu Chen.
"Devil Yin Great Power!" bellowed Gu Cang fiercely, unleashing a powerful first-grade Great Power technique.
With a thunderous noise, a massive palm imprint condensed and formed, with dense Devil Yin energy adhering to the palm, and accompanied by a mighty demonic aura and the wails of countless ghosts. Even the strongest full circle cultivators of the Primordial Realm would be seriously injured and suffer significant vital energy loss if hit by this palm.
However, Gu Chen remained indifferent, his eyes still as calm as an ancient well.
Gu Cang was immensely strong, but the difficulty of wounding Gu Chen, who had achieved a saintly body, was enormous.
Of course, Gu Chen wouldn’t just stand there and not fight back; he immediately executed the highest profound principle of the Supreme Solar Power Skill at the eleventh level—Ten Suns Ascending Heaven!
With a hum, the intense light shone boundlessly, as if it could illuminate all worlds, spanning past and future. The overflowing solar divine fire transformed into an endless fury true dragon, roaring across the world, wishing to destroy everything.
Once the Supreme Solar Power Skill, comparable to immeasurable techniques, was unleashed, Gu Cang’s Devil Yin technique was no match at all, utterly crushed, and even he himself was incinerated.
"Not good!" Seeing this, Gu Mo’s expression suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a figure rose from the endless sea of fire, his skin charred black—it was Gu Cang, his complexion extremely unsightly.
"Tianming God Palm!" He yelled angrily, using the most widely known supreme technique of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
"Primordial Celestial Body."
Gu Chen murmured softly, his black hair dancing in the Gang Wind. He met the attack directly with a palm of his own, with strands of celestial light swirling and spreading from his pores. His demeanor became even more otherworldly, seemingly about to ascend to immortality.
Boom!
Their clash resulted in devastating ripples destroying all directions, and within thousands of miles, a vast annihilation ensued!
Such was the formidable strength of the full circle cultivators of the Primordial Realm; in the outside world, just the aftershocks of their combat would be enough to annihilate a great continent.
"Kill!"
Gu Cang roared, as if he had plucked an ancient star from beyond the domains and hurled it directly at Gu Chen.
Bang!
Gu Chen remained silent, his eyes cold and severe. With a punch, his fist radiated boundless light, and an entire great star directly shattered, its pieces burning out in midair!
The two fought like two great demons, exchanging tens of thousands of blows in an instant. Gu Cang was outmatched, battered and broken, his head smashed, his whole body flying out like a straw man.
Had it not been for the heavenly demon in his body intervening at the critical moment, he might have been extinguished on the spot.
"How is this possible, how can this boy have such terrifying combat power, hasn’t he just broken through to the Primordial Realm not long ago?!" Gu Mo’s face changed, struck with fear.
"Devil Yin God Palm!" Gu Mo attacked, using a first-grade Great Power technique from the holy sect, trying to rescue Gu Cang.
"It seems that among the Saint Envoys of the holy sect, you two occupy two of the eighteen."
Despite his young age, Gu Chen stood with his hands behind him, atop the firmament, with an indifferent expression, his eyes dazzling. His entire being emitted a dominator’s aura, as if he were an invincible emperor!
This was the supreme belief cultivated from one battle after another!
"This boy has truly become a great figure!" Both Gu Cang and Gu Mo were shockingly agitated in their hearts.
"Had I known this would happen, when Yan’er revealed your identity, I should have strangled you without hesitation!" Gu Cang was filled with regret.
Initially, when he learned of this, he did not take it seriously, and even used Gu Chen as a sharpening stone for his own son, Gu Yan, even intending to temper his son.
But unexpectedly, Gu Chen’s growth was too rapid, not to mention Gu Yan; even he could not compete and was surpassed by the later comer.
"Forget it, stop wasting words with him, let’s join hands and cut him down!" said Gu Mo.
Gu Cang nodded, feeling fortunate that now their joint effort was not too late!
"Do you think this is all of my strength?" Gu Chen spoke, and the next instant, he disappeared from sight.
"Huh?"
"What happened!"
Seeing this, Gu Cang and Gu Mo were shocked and hastily searched for Gu Chen’s whereabouts.
Bang!
The next moment, Gu Cang flew out, blood spewing from his mouth.
Pfft!
Gu Chen’s punch was like a divine sun falling, turning the former Lord of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Cang, into a puddle of flesh!
He stood in the sky, his martial prowess extraordinary, his heavenly might overwhelming, like an unmatched Immortal King, towering above everything, his breath devouring mountains and rivers, capable of suppressing all under the heavens and the Eight Desolations!
