Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1557 - 389: At the Pinnacle of the Upper Realm

Boom!

Gu Chen clashed with the ancient ancestor Jin Zhu from the Golden Roc Clan. Their fist prints collided, sending ripple-like shockwaves that materialized and caused the surrounding stars to collapse and dent.

"Imperial Seal Technique!"

Gu Chen formed a seal with one hand, executing this seven-grade Infinite Divine Power. In a flash, nine black holes appeared in the outer realm’s void, swallowing and annihilating everything.

"Roar!"

The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan let out a prolonged howl. His body shone with piercing golden light, each strand sharder than heavenly blades by countless times, slicing through the starry sky, capable of destroying all.

The roar of Dao principles transformed into divine chains of order, descending one after another. The extraordinary aura of the questioning realm reached everywhere, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles!

The whole starry sky faced a massive extinction, such was the formidable power of the questioning realm!

If those at the supreme realm, or rather, characters of the highest heavens, were to strike, an entire star field would collapse, necessitating a battle in the uninhabited chaos.

Otherwise, the myriad worlds simply could not withstand the threat of such beings.

Whoosh!

The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan raised his hand and from the distant sea of stars, he captured eighty-one large stars, instantly fusing them into one, forming a giant golden holy sword that he hurled down.

Gu Chen was fearless. As he swung his arm, a sword embryo formed in his hand, pervaded by the aura of the apocalypse.

The Sword of the End!

With a hissing sound, like the convergence of ten thousand swords, all remnants and even Dao principles under this starry sky transformed into sword energy, piercing towards the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan.

Jin Zhu’s pupils constricted; he found it hard to imagine how a young man, not even fifty years old, could compete with the questioning realm while only in the Primordial Realm, let alone possess several seven-grade Infinite Divine Powers.

From a distant location, those bystanders in the questioning realm were also shaken by this display.

"The essence of all worlds is indeed extraordinary!" A peerless being muttered, their eyes becoming heated once more.

At this moment, the leader of the Fire Sect exclaimed, "Fellow practitioners, the essence of all worlds is right before us, even this junior is so outstanding. If we integrate with it, we will surely become stronger, surpassing this child, and perhaps even break through our realm on the spot, ascending to the highest heavens!"

Upon hearing this, indeed many in the questioning realm were tempted.

But an elder from the Kirin Clan shouted, "Everyone, consider carefully before acting rashly, lest you end up making wedding dresses for the Holy Sect!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Fire Sect clenched his teeth but could only look hatefully at the Kirin Clan elder opposing him.

"Why are you so stubbornly misguided? Such a divine object as the essence of all worlds, under the guardianship and comprehension of us in the questioning realm, is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than leaving it with that junior. What kind of bewitching potion has he fed you to make you trust him so much and even pin your hopes on him!" Ganli, the leader of the Fire Sect, didn’t understand as he looked at the Kirin Clan elder.

Upon hearing this, the Kirin Clan elder coldly replied, "Ganli, with those words, I really start to doubt if you are one of the nine esteemed ones from the Holy Sect."

"That’s nonsense, a fabrication by that junior!" The leader of the Fire Sect roared in anger, defending himself.

"Then why don’t you dare let us search your soul?" The Kirin Clan elder demanded.

The leader of the Fire Sect angrily replied, "As a peerless individual in the questioning realm, Qifeng, would you be willing if it were you!"

At this moment, the tall and imposing leader of the White Tiger Clan spoke up, coldly saying, "Qifeng, don’t be deceived by him. We’ve come to this point, neither he nor Jin Zhu dare to do it, the truth has shown itself to some extent!"

"Bai Xiao, do you not trust me either?!" The leader of the Fire Sect ground his teeth.

The leader of the White Tiger Clan said solemnly, "If you are willing to open your mind to let us search your soul, and if the information is wrong, everything my White Tiger Clan owns can be yours. How about that!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Fire Sect’s face stiffened. Moments later, he snarled viciously, "This pertains to the dignity of my realm in questioning. If I submit to a soul search simply because of a junior’s words, I, and Jin Zhu, will surely become a laughingstock among all people!"

"In that case, there’s not much more to say," the Kirin Clan elder Qifeng sighed.

Actually, he did not want this situation to arise. It was too detrimental to the upper realms, dividing these individuals in the questioning realm.

But when the evidence was quite substantial, it couldn’t be overlooked. No matter their plans, if anyone from the Holy Sect were involved, they would know everything clearly and could infiltrate spies.

The incident with Tianhuo Old Man had made the upper realms’ questioners determined to conduct a thorough investigation.

Otherwise, they would never have agreed to something that could disturb the upper realms in the past.

Thump!

From afar, another loud explosion sounded. Their fighting was merely to impede, whereas Gu Chen and the ancient ancestor Jin Zhu from the Golden Roc Clan were truly in a heated battle.

"Ultimate Roc Speed!" The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan howled, his figure splitting into billions, each one expressionless, launching a supremely powerful strike at Gu Chen.

"Severing Heaven and Earth!"

Gu Chen’s expression grew solemn as he raised his hand to send out ripples of the Dao, nullifying all space in front, creating a dreadfully desolate land of spirits.

Even the ancient ancestor Jin Zhu of the Golden Roc Clan was greatly affected, his projections dissipated, revealing his true body.

"You damned junior!" he roared, his body blazing with golden light, like round after round of great suns rising, which were his true feathers aimed at slaying Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen dared not be the slightest bit negligent. He activated the Ancient Emperor’s Legal Seal, and the figure of an emperor, capable of suppressing the Eight Desolations, emerged behind him. Imperial dragon energy boiled as he threw his fist, as if creating and destroying worlds, with ancient realms coming into being!

At the same time, ten thousand dragons roared, each strand of imperial dragon energy turned into a true dragon of immense size, diving down to attack, creating a spectacular scene.

Gu Chen and the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan, two exceptional powerhouses, fought fiercely, displaying their abilities, their battle reaching a blistering stage.

"Sky-obliterating Roc Annihilation, Kill!"

At this moment, the piercingly sharp golden pupils of the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan intensified to the extreme, like the edge of a supreme blade. He roared, directly using his divine form’s power.

When the Dao-seeking realm’s law manifestation emerged, this starry sky boiled over, then completely collapsed, resonating with the laws of myriad paths, as endless divine chains of the Great Dao materialized, sketching out the arrival of a divine Peng.

As soon as this divine Peng appeared, its gaze, opening and shutting, was enough to tear through the starry seas, and each of its feathers was exceedingly real, sprawling across the external realms like demonic gods, immensely huge.

In an instant, upon seeing this law manifestation, Gu Chen felt a series of heart palpitations and didn’t hesitate to display his own law manifestation.

"Heaven-Earth Grinding Disc, grind away all worlds!" Gu Chen bellowed, and within the boundless starry sky, the black and white qi spread out, transforming into two huge grinding discs.

Thump!

Boundless light burst forth, followed by billions of threads of radiance shimmering, casting an area immeasurable in distance into a dazzling brilliance.

At the same time, a visible wave of Dao energy suddenly surged outward, causing everything within the entire star field to shatter, an apocalypse akin to world-ending catastrophe!

If Gu Chen and the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor were to start a war in the higher realm, the destruction they’d cause would be an unimaginable disaster!

With a hum, at this moment, Gu Chen employed his own primordial spirit’s law body, as two of him manipulated the law manifestations to face the enemy.

"Did you think you are the most exceptional one?" A cold voice from the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor resounded throughout, revealing that he surprisingly possessed a solar spirit law body as well!

In fact, such characters in the Dao-seeking realm had accumulated who knows how many years in this realm. If placed in the previous great era, they all had the chance to vie for the supreme position in all heavens. Nearly an era’s worth of accumulation, achieving physical sanctification and a solar spirit law body is naturally to be expected.

After all, they were the most outstanding existences in all the heavens and myriad realms of this great era, one of the leading figures of the upper realms.

Boom!

Thousands of thunderbolts dazzled, thunder and lightning surged violently, and the two men, with their four bodies, once again engaged in a colossal collision.

However, Gu Chen still possessed two great law manifestations, which gave him a bit of an advantage this time.

But the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor was by no means a pushover; none who could stand at the pinnacle of the upper realms were simple characters.

Because his cultivation time exceeded Gu Chen by more than a hundred times, his accumulations were more profound, so the fierce battle between the two remained unresolved.

The Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor knew that unless he unsealed all his combat power, he could surely suppress Gu Chen, but his identity would be exposed just the same.

"Come!"

Suddenly, the voice of the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor exploded across the cosmos; he bellowed, and within the upper realm, a beam of light shone forth, then swiftly expanded, breaking through the barriers of the realms and arriving outside the realm.

That was a golden giant sword, vast like the stars, radiating an unmatched aura with intense fluctuations of the Dao spreading from it, seemingly capable of severing all heavens and worlds.

"A Dao weapon!" Gu Chen’s expression shook, indeed, contained within the Golden Roc Clan was a complete Dao weapon!

Boom!

The next moment, without any hesitation, Gu Chen directly offered the cosmos’s twin tripods and the Firmament Battle Garb.

Upon seeing the cosmic tripod, many Dao-seeking characters slightly narrowed their eyes, and the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor’s face grew gloomy.

"Without the reunion of the Nine Tripods, only possessing two, plus a damaged Azure Cloud Sky’s divine helm, do you think you can contend with me?"

The Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor stood amidst the external starry sea, uniting with the law manifestation, similarly vast and boundless, his golden claws holding the giant sword, like a god about to judge all worlds, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.

That was a supreme power spreading, causing even Gu Chen to feel palpitations.

This was his first time facing a true Dao weapon; all the previous ones had only been fragments, and couldn’t compare at all to the one before him. They were different as heaven and earth, too far apart to describe.

Of course, although he felt a full sense of crisis, Gu Chen was unafraid; after all, he still had a trump card he hadn’t used.

Worst comes to worst, disregarding the shock of the world, unleash all law manifestations at once, and employ the strongest heritage of all ages—the God Spirit Scripture, to decide the outcome once and for all.

By then, Gu Chen did not believe the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor would not reveal his true form.

"Enough!"

At this time, the Taoxu Road’s Master, the leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, and the patriarch Nie Gu of the Void King Clan appeared, interrupting the battle between the two.

"Let’s stop here for today!" The three peerless figures glanced at Gu Chen and the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor, knowing that if they continued like this and the Holy Gate intervened, the catastrophe would genuinely be staged in advance.

After all, once the Dao weapon were to be used, Gu Chen would surely also go all out at that point, and then it would truly be too late to stop.

The ultimate battle arriving now is something that no one wished to witness.

Seeing this, Gu Chen also knew that today had already reached its limit.

Mainly because he did not suffer any loss, and also managed to exhibit his might without a doubt.

On the contrary, it’s the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor and the Fire Sect’s Master who should be really troubled.

As for the investigation of the two of them, it will definitely not end here. For a long time, they will not trouble Gu Chen anymore.

"And during this time, I can take the opportunity to break through to the Dao-seeking realm. At that point, even if the Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor unleashes his full power, I will not fear, self-preservation will not be a problem at all," Gu Chen contemplated.

At this moment, other Dao-seeking realm beings also stepped forward, signaling the two that they could stop fighting now, as continuing the entanglement would benefit no one.

Moreover, the forbidden regions inhabited by the creatures of the upper realm were once again starting to stir, requiring dispatching forces to suppress them.

"Hmph!"

The Golden Roc Clan’s ancient ancestor coldly snorted, knowing that it was impossible to take down Gu Chen today; he could only plot for the long term.

Therefore, he cast an imperceptible glance at the Master of the Fire Sect before disappearing from the spot.

Those Dao-seeking realm beings watched Gu Chen with somewhat complex eyes at this moment; previously, they really could not have imagined that a young creature less than fifty years of age was about to stand on an equal footing with them.

Yes, after this battle, without a doubt, from now on, Gu Chen will stand at the pinnacle of the upper realm alongside these Dao-seeking realm peerless beings, becoming one of the strongest!
