Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1605 - 419: Stabilizing the Upper Realm

With this thought, all the beings in the higher realms questioning the Dao became extremely excited.

Of course, this was because Gu Chen had said that when he breaks through to the supreme realm, the cosmic origin of all realms would be fully revived, and the great Dao of the myriad worlds would be replenished.

And the severed path would naturally be continued.

As for whether there are still people coveting the cosmic origin on Gu Chen now, the answer is naturally no.

These beings questioning the Dao have lived for long ages and are not fools. Having witnessed Gu Chen’s strength, how could anyone still think of courting death?

Afterward, Gu Chen left this realm and went to other realms to continue eliminating demons.

Now, Gu Chen’s strength has grown once again compared to the time when he fought to the death with the Primordial Emperor, and his infinite divine power, ’Six Paths of Reincarnation of Three Thousand Worlds,’ has also reached the fourth grade, just like the Fundamental Decree of the Heavenly Dao.

Accordingly, his combat power has also surged dramatically.

With two fourth-grade divine powers in hand, Gu Chen’s current strength is enough to completely overpower any forbidden zone of life in the upper realms.

He started by purging the smaller forbidden zones of life, and in just one morning, he cleared nearly a hundred realms.

"That’s incredibly fast." The unparalleled beings of the questioning Dao realm like Nie Gu and Ao Tian had shock apparent on their faces.

They watched from the sidelines as Gu Chen slaughtered demons as easily as chopping vegetables – beings even they found difficult to eradicate were being wiped out of existence with casual ease.

This made all the beings of the questioning Dao realm in the higher realms deeply realize just how vast the gap between them and Gu Chen was.

"Sovereign of the Imperial Court, truly deserving of the title of the strongest in the upper realms," said the patriarch of the White Tiger Tribe, Bai Xiao.

This statement naturally gained the acknowledgment of all the questioning Dao beings in the upper realms.

But Gu Chen was different; although he had restored nearly a hundred realms to normalcy, his expression was somewhat somber.

This was because he discovered that the erosion of the upper realms by the powers of the netherworld was indeed becoming more and more severe.

This was not good news.

"I must hurry to break through to the supreme realm, otherwise, if the cataclysm of the era comes, even as the only supreme among the heavens, I will definitely be unable to withstand it," Gu Chen felt a sense of urgency arising in his heart.

Just as he said, the cataclysm of the era targets the entire myriad worlds of the heavens; it’s not something one person can resolve. It requires the concerted effort of all beings in the upper realms to have a slim chance of survival.

The Dao of the upper realms must be replenished, and more supreme realm beings must emerge; otherwise, however strong Gu Chen is, he will be helpless.

After all, the netherworld doesn’t just have the Demon Emperor; there’s also the most terrifying Primogenitor, which naturally Gu Chen must face.

In that case, the supreme beings of the netherworld will need to be resisted by the current questioning Dao beings of the upper realms.

Boom!

Though his thoughts were rapidly processing, Gu Chen’s movements were not soft in the slightest, effortlessly obliterating another forbidden zone of life in the upper realms.

In essence, among the three thousand six hundred realms, the leaders of the forbidden zones of life are mostly demons of the Primordial Realm, with less than fifty realms that possess king-level demons comparable to the questioning Dao realm.

This is because the shadow of the cataclysm is approaching and the powers of the netherworld continue to invade.

Otherwise, if there are too many king-level demons, there wouldn’t even need to be an apocalyptic catastrophe; these king-level demons alone would be enough to completely annihilate the Upper Realm.

And as Gu Chen took action along the way, the news that the ruler of the imperial court was obliterating forbidden zones of living beings to pacify the Upper Realm spread far and wide before long.

Plus, with the word of mouth from cultivators and commoners who had their forbidden zones cleansed, the entire Upper Realm soon boiled over with excitement again.

All beings felt grateful for the grace of the ruler of the imperial court, and their faith in Gu Chen became even more devout.

Suddenly, a large amount of willingness emerged and entered into Gu Chen’s body.

"That seems to be... the power of willingness?" Nie Gu, Ao Tian, and other venerable beings of the Upper Realm noticed this fact with their extraordinary vision.

"Haven’t you heard? Now across all three thousand six hundred domains, everyone is singing praises of the ruler of the imperial court—it’s normal for such a vast amount of willingness to arise," the ancient ancestor of the Golden Raven Clan, Wu Shen, spoke.

For a moment, many beings in the Primordial Realm revealed signs of envy; even they coveted such profound strength.

"This way, the ruler of the imperial court’s breakthrough into the highest realm will certainly be greatly accelerated," someone in the Primordial Realm said.

"Indeed, the power of willingness is very strong, especially when it comes from the collective reverence of three thousand six hundred domains," everyone nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, who was following behind the others, spoke up, shaking his head and holding a different view, "In my opinion, Gu Chen might not use this willingness for his cultivation."

"Oh?" Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him.

Although the headmaster Situ Yin of Qingyun Academy had only recently broken through to the Primordial Realm and was still relatively weak, due to Gu Chen, all of the Primordial Realm beings present highly regarded him.

The fact that everyone addressed Gu Chen as the "ruler of the imperial court," but only this headmaster could call him by name, was telling enough.

At this time, headmaster Situ Yin continued, "Willingness is indeed beneficial and can accelerate cultivation, but after all, it’s an external power, completely different from Gu Chen’s path of self-empowerment. To put it more gravely, if absorbed, it could even be like a severe poison."

"That makes sense." Nie Gu, Ao Tian, and others nodded.

Having cultivated to this stage, they naturally understood the importance of one’s own path, something absolutely not to be compromised.

However, resisting such a massive temptation—with supreme power within arm’s reach but refusing it at the doorstep—upon reflection, the others present felt they truly couldn’t do it.

At this time, everyone began to admire this young being, Gu Chen, even more in their hearts.

It is known that the stronger the cultivation, the stronger the resulting thoughts or willingness.

If one day Gu Chen could make these unparalleled beings of the Primordial Realm genuinely and wholeheartedly convinced, then the willingness they would collectively form would be truly substantial.

"Roar! I am a king-level demon, indestructible; you cannot kill me!" At this moment, from within a forbidden zone of living beings, roars thundered through the air.

"It’s starting!" Hearing this, the beings of the Upper Realm in the Primordial Realm quickly shifted their attention and looked over.

At that moment, a sky of black fog billowed, filled with demonic energy, nearly covering half of the domain.

Yet, Gu Chen merely exhaled lightly, and immediately, a hurricane swept up, devouring all the demonic fog, returning a bright clear sky to the entire domain.

"Silence."

As he spoke, Gu Chen’s palm pressed down, and in an instant, there were 99,999 profound changes, so complex that even those who had fully mastered the Primordial Realm could not fully comprehend; everyone felt dizzy, and their sea of consciousness nearly collapsed.

"So powerful!"

Nie Gu, Ao Tian, and others from the Upper Realm were shocked by the question. They quickly withdrew their gazes, not daring to look any further.

Spurt!

And as expected, in the face of Gu Chen’s palm, even with the power of the Life Forbidden Zone augmenting it, this royal-level demonic entity was of no avail and was instantly obliterated on the spot.

"A royal-level demonic entity has fallen just like that." The unparalleled figures of the questioning realm saw hope, the hope to cleanse the Upper Realm and quell the disaster!

"Stay vigilant, to prevent any unforeseen events from happening, and respond at once!"

"Understood!"

At this moment, all in the questioning realm raised their vigilance to the strongest, but fortunately, until now, nothing unexpected occurred.

This situation continued for a very long time.

It wasn’t until Gu Chen had destroyed a total of eighteen Life Forbidden Zones, each with a royal-level demonic entity, and was heading to the nineteenth, that an anomaly finally happened.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, the void collapsed, and an entire realm was nearly annihilated in an instant.

Luckily, at the critical moment, Gu Chen made his move, stabilizing everything, not allowing the situation to become uncontrollable.

"The Demonic Emperor!"

"A Demonic Emperor from the Netherworld has once again descended with great power!"

Suddenly, Nie Gu, Ao Tian and the others of the questioning realm tensed up, extremely nervous.

They stepped forward, intending to aid Gu Chen, but he rejected them.

"No need, as I said, one person is enough!"

"Arrogant!"

The Demonic Emperor’s cold voice came through, and merely hearing this voice caused hallucinations to appear before the eyes of those from the Upper Realm who were too close, with a piercing pain in their brows, nearly vomiting blood.

"Get back!"

Seeing this, Gu Chen let out a shout, with the sound of heaven reverberating, dissolving this phenomena.

They promptly bowed with folded hands and staggeringly retreated to the distance.

The void cracked, a dark figure stepped forward, descending upon the Upper Realm.

"Insects, you have successfully enraged me!" This Demonic Emperor’s words were cold, his gaze extremely chilling.

"In this life, your world is doomed to destruction, it would have been fine if you just surrendered and awaited death, but you even dare to resist!"

In response, Gu Chen said nothing, merely looked coldly at the Demonic Emperor, and stretched out his hand. Divine power accumulated over a million years converged, unleashing the ultimate strike.

Thud!

The entire Life Forbidden Zone, at that moment, was enveloped by an endless tempest, all demonic entities within perished at that instant, unable to withstand even a moment.

Boom!

The Demonic Emperor roared in anger, he too was taken aback, not anticipating that Gu Chen possessed such an extent of power, but alas, like the previous Feather Emperor, he could only exert about twenty percent of his strength, how could he contend with the current Gu Chen?

"Demonic Emperor? It’s you who’s being slashed!" The Demonic Emperor heard Gu Chen’s icy words just before being completely obliterated.

"I will not let you off, when the Epoch Calamity arrives, I will be the first to tear you to shreds!"

As these words fell, the entire Life Forbidden Zone, along with that Demonic Emperor, completely vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"Is it over just like that?" Dozens of questioning realm figures in the Upper Realm exchanged glances; although they all knew that Gu Chen’s strength was at an extreme peak, they had never thought that eradicating an incarnation of a Demonic Emperor would be so easy.

Compared with the desperate struggle against the Feather Emperor before, it was a radical difference.

"It seems that we are indeed not needed." With this thought, Nie Gu and Ao Tian both took a deep breath and turned to leave.

To be honest, during the period they followed Gu Chen to obliterate Life Forbidden Zones, they had received a tremendous shock.

For a time, these unparalleled figures from the questioning realm returned to their respective spiritual retreats and, surprisingly united in decision, chose to go into seclusion.

Of course, before retreating into seclusion, they gave orders that unless the lord of the Imperial Court commanded otherwise, no one was allowed to disturb them.

Their various disciples, although unclear of the reasons, obediently accepted the orders.

Thus, as time passed, one Life Forbidden Zone after another was pacified by Gu Chen.

During this period, four accidents occurred, where incarnations of Demonic Emperors from the Netherworld descended, but without exception, all were easily eradicated by Gu Chen, without even a major battle occurring.

Now, his strength had reached an extreme, or rather, the pinnacle of his life; unless the true Supreme Realm descended, no other cultivator could match him. freewebnσvel.cøm

The Netherworld was no different.

Those Demonic Emperors, easily eliminated by Gu Chen, were all enraged beyond measure, all vowing to devour Gu Chen first when the Epoch Calamity arrived.

But as for Gu Chen, he was fearless, and even gave the hardest response.

"When the Epoch Calamity comes, I will cleanse all of you demons and fiends, utterly eradicating you!"

With the fury of those four Demonic Emperors in their eyes, Gu Chen obliterated them completely.

At the same time, on this day, the operation to cleanse the Upper Realm finally reached its conclusion.

"It’s over!"

With a loud noise, the last Life Forbidden Zone of the Upper Realm also declared extinction!

On this day, all life in the Upper Realm let out a heaven-shaking cheer, and moment by moment, the divine power flowing towards Gu Chen grew even stronger.

Gu Chen did not pay attention to this for the time being, but instead brought up his panel to check the dense Divine Power value displayed there.

"If all goes well, it should be enough for the breakthrough!"
