Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1536 - 377: Tormented by Fiery Karma

Innate Origin Pool, located in the deeper regions of the Island of Origin, or rather, it is an isolated island on its own. Ahead, a towering peak pierces the clouds, shrouded in mists, its entirety bathed in the extremely dense light of laws. The miraculous place that can make the cultivators of the Upper Realms return to their origin lies atop the summit of this mountain.

The Island of Origin, though named an island, is in truth incredibly vast in scope, barely inferior to the Upper Realms, resembling a vast world unto itself.

Luckily, those who arrive here have all reached the Primordial Realm, the ultimate powerhouses, whose speed of travel is peerless, even capable of traversing beyond realms. Hence, such distances are barely a challenge for these supreme beings.

As for Gu Chen, by utilizing the Space Character Seal, he can harness the power of the void, making his speed even more astonishing. In other words, he’s practically teleporting, covering tens or even hundreds of thousands of miles in an incredibly short span of time.

After spending some time, Gu Chen finally arrived here before the opening of the Innate Origin Pool.

This island is exceptionally large, even greater in size than some of the medium domains of the Upper Realms. In this period, many supreme beings have heard the news and have already rushed here.

Among them, those who have reached the complete culmination of the Primordial Realm are not few in number, amounting to dozens.

From this, one can see the importance placed on the Innate Origin Pool by all the supreme beings.

Furthermore, this is due to the fact that many are seeking other opportunities on the Island of Origin, such as the legendary supreme heavenly medicines, the Origin of All Worlds, and mythic items like the Origin Stele that records the beginnings of all things and all ways.

These three treasures are revered and ceaselessly pursued by even more supreme beings.

Especially for those supreme beings whose bodies contain a Questioning Dao Realm incarnation, this is even more the case, for to them, those three items are of utmost importance. Gaining any one of them can bring about a tremendous fortune, and they can even break through to the highest realm, hence they are naturally of incomparable significance.

When Gu Chen arrived, he sensed the presence of many formidable auras, some of which were so strong that they had reached the pinnacle, with laws that were exceptionally condensed.

Providing him with such sensations, unsurprisingly, nearly all of them were figures on the verge of breaking into the Questioning Dao Realm.

When the laws are highly condensed, transformed, and sublimated, they will link and resonate with thousands of paths, taking a step further, becoming the Way and source that could manipulate the origin of Dao.

There are extremely outstanding supreme beings who have been able to perfect the Great Power within the Primordial Realm. Some are even on the verge of comprehending the Infinite Power and can execute partial techniques. Added to enough time for consolidation and the profound depth of their cultivation, such individuals are, in essence, only half a step away from the Questioning Dao Realm.

On this island, Gu Chen has spotted such existences, and not just one.

"It seems that the Innate Origin Pool has indeed attracted the coveting of many," Gu Chen thought to himself.

Meanwhile, his eyes shifted, and he also noticed an emaciated and withered figure, with hair as pale as ash, resembling an old man on the verge of dying – Tianhuo Old Man.

Even among the gathering of supreme beings, Tianhuo Old Man stood out as the most unique.

It has to be said, his perception is extremely keen. The moment Gu Chen caught sight of him, Tianhuo Old Man seemed to sense it and turned back, offering a faint smile.

But that smile, paired with a visage resembling a dried corpse, was not only devoid of any warmth but also incredibly unsettling.

Due to his limited lifespan, combined with the formidable strength of having fully realized the Primordial Realm, Tianhuo Old Man’s presence made many supreme beings wary, none wishing to make an enemy of him.

As a result, no one stood beside him, leaving a clearing around him, keeping their distance.

This indeed shows the extent of his deterrent power.

"This youth, unseen for just a few days, seems to have advanced further in his cultivation. It appears that he’s the one who killed all nine Holy Emissaries," deduced Tianhuo Old Man, using the Holy Gate’s unique methods to sense the extremely faint aura on Gu Chen, confirming this matter.

Gu Chen himself was sizing up Tianhuo Old Man, a trace of a crisis looming in his heart. Indeed, from the very beginning, he knew this old man was far from ordinary.

Afterwards, his gaze shifted, moving away, not wishing to entangle with him too much.

After all, the Innate Origin Pool was not exclusive to only one person to gain fortune from, but naturally, the number could not be excessive – the available spots were limited.

It’s worth mentioning that in the gathering, it wasn’t only Tianhuo Old Man who gave Gu Chen a sense of threat. A few other supreme beings did as well.

One of them had a handsome and elegant appearance, wearing a black and red gown, with a flame mark on his forehead, a young man standing among the crowd.

Standing beside him were two other men. One was a monk dressed in a red robe, with a fierce look and none of the merciful demeanor one would expect from a monk.

The last individual was even more peculiar; also bald but with black skin, his body concealed deep strength, his face fiercely intimidating, like a malevolent spirit holding a Vajra Pestle standing there, akin to a Dharma Protector in Buddhism.

It was these three individuals that brought upon Gu Chen that sense of crisis, but it was only a trace.

Even so, this could be deemed extremely significant, as, with his current strength, within the Primordial Realm, none who could pose a threat to him were simple characters; all must have reached the pinnacle of this realm.

These three individuals were just as perceptive as Tianhuo Old Man. The moment Gu Chen’s eyes fell upon them, they simultaneously glanced back at him.
