Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 792 - 559 - The True Dragon Rises from the Abyss, Overbearing the Saint Child (Three More Updates and Ten Thousand Words, asking for Subscription!)_1

As soon as the news that he carried a celestial seed surfaced, all eyes in the hall immediately turned to Gu Chen.

Even those figures at the saintly progeny level were no exception.

The only one with an unchanged expression was the saintly progeny Zhen Yuan of the Unlimited Taoist sect, as if he had already anticipated this development.

"I told you, how could a mere Nine Provinces produce a true dragon? Turns out, he possesses a celestial seed!" Mount Tianzhu's saintly progeny He Lianying sneered coldly, his words dripping with undisguised scorn for Gu Chen.

In fact, the environment and resources of the Nine Provinces were indeed hardly sufficient to nurture a saintly progeny, which was quite unrealistic.

And a celestial seed, with its power to defy fate and shape destiny, is a world unto itself, harboring perfectly formed rules and patterns. If Gu Chen held a celestial seed, they all believed that everything could be explained away.

The corners of Fang Lian's mouth from the Pure Yang Martial Sect lifted in a faint smile as he observed Gu Chen, curious to see how he would respond if so many saintly progeny attacked at the same time.

"The ancient artifact of my Pure Yang Martial Sect isn't something you can covet, is it?!" Fang Lian's gaze toward Gu Chen turned cold, for only someone of his level could comprehend the artifact's utmost significance.

Yet, even with the celestial seed exposed and himself becoming the target of all, Gu Chen's expression remained tranquil.

"Quite the trick you've played, deceiving everyone for so long," remarked Shen Tianchi from Burning Heaven Valley, his tone indifferent despite the fiery aura he exuded.

"It's also because the mortals from the lower realm are too useless, leading us to misjudge," He Lianying from Mount Tianzhu said coldly.

The saintly progeny Xu Ziqing of the Five Elements Sect said nothing, his gaze carrying an unfathomable meaning as it fell upon Gu Chen.

Similarly, Bai Jingyuan of Cloud Heaven Palace and Su Nan of the Buddhist Sumi Sect were circumspect.

Each one knew well the significance of a celestial seed; if this were true, even as saintly progeny, they might engage in a fierce conflict in an instant.

And Gu Chen would become the primary target for everyone here.

A confrontation involving so many saintly progeny against one individual would be enough to send shockwaves through the upper realms, let alone within the Nine Provinces.

Moreover, if news of this reached the upper realms, it would undoubtedly create a sensation.

"Where do you get the confidence to confront us? That's not something you should have. Hand over the celestial seed," Mount Tianzhu's saintly progeny He Lianying stood up, ready to be the first to trouble Gu Chen.

Immediately following suit were Shen Tianchi from Burning Heaven Valley, Fang Lian from the Pure Yang Martial Sect, and Xu Ziqing from the Five Elements Sect, none willing to fall behind.

Now was not a time for modesty, as the importance of the celestial seed was comparable to the Nine Cauldrons; even they, as saintly progeny, were exceedingly eager for it.

Not just them - even some of the titans from the upper realms, upon learning that the celestial seed was with Gu Chen, could not guarantee that they wouldn't be tempted.

"He is my prey!" Unexpectedly, Fu Ling of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect spoke up. He stepped forward, blocking everyone else's path.

"What do you mean by this?" Shen Tianchi, Fang Lian, and Xu Ziqing, along with He Lianying, frowned in puzzlement at Fu Ling.

Huang Yan and Cui Ce were also taken aback, not having anticipated Fu Ling's move to shield Gu Chen from the other saintly progeny.

Not just them - even Gu Chen was slightly surprised, one eyebrow raised in unexpected curiosity.

"Fu Ling, don't be foolish!" Seeing him stand his ground, Mount Tianzhu's saintly progeny He Lianying's face darkened.

"How about it, would you like to have a fight with me? Fine, I shall indulge you!" The eyes of Fu Ling from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect glinted with a flash of sword light, his presence incredibly sharp, easily cleaving the very sky with his aura.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Upon seeing this, Mount Tianzhu's saintly progeny He Lianying, with the sharpness of a hawk in his eyes, readied himself to clash with Fu Ling, fierce determination glinting in his gaze.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Fang Lian from the Pure Yang Martial Sect furrowed his brow, stopped He Lianying, and shook his head saying, "Let Fu Ling go first. Let's deal with that Gu Chen of Da Xia first; our disputes can wait."

"Hmph!" With a rigid face, He Lianying clenched his fists, and after a cold snort, he decided not to strike.

Unlike Fu Ling, who wasn't thinking straight, He Lianying kept his cool and thought things through. Letting Fu Ling be the scapegoat to gauge Gu Chen's true strength wasn't a bad idea!

While Gu Chen hailed from the lower realm and likely didn't possess powerful heritage, the celestial seed was no ordinary matter, and they couldn't predict just how potent Gu Chen could prove to be with its power.

Having Fu Ling as the vanguard, to sound out the situation for them, was perfect.

"Would you two like to make a move as well?" At this time, Zhen Yuan from the Unlimited Taoist sect turned his attention to Bai Jingyuan of Cloud Heaven Palace and Su Nan from the Buddhist Sumi Sect.

At that moment, both wore grave expressions; after a brief pause, Bai Jingyuan, clothed in white and with an ethereal air, sighed to the heavens, "That is a celestial seed, after all. It's hard not to be tempted."

"Amitabha." The young monk Su Nan, in his saffron robe with a complexion of ancient bronze, brought his hands together and chanted a Buddhist invocation softly.

"Don't you feel even the slightest temptation?" At that moment, Bai Jingyuan turned his head, looking at Zhen Yuan from the Unlimited Taoist sect who had maintained a calm demeanor all along.

"What's mine is mine, and what's not mine will never be. Sometimes, it's futile to force it," said the young Taoist Zhen Yuan, adorned with a robe featuring the yin and yang, his tone unbothered, displaying a poised and unaffected stance.

"So, is this the so-called rule by non-action of the Taoist sect?" Bai Jingyuan mused aloud.

Upon hearing these words, Zhen Yuan shook his head, saying, "Compared to such a high state of being, I am far from it."

While the three of them conversed on one side, the distant battlefield had already undergone a change.

Fu Ling helped Gu Chen fend off a few Saint Sons who wanted to attack together, but seeing them give up, he then turned around to face Gu Chen alone.

This move was indeed somewhat unexpected to Gu Chen; he sized up the Fu Ling before him, who really seemed to consider everything beneath him.

By acting this way, it was purely out of confidence, believing that he alone could take down Gu Chen, and not truly for the sake of Gu Chen himself.

"I will personally strike you down here," said the Saint Son of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Fu Ling, with a cold voice.

Obviously, the fact that the previous few moves had not defeated Gu Chen, but had instead put himself at a disadvantage, made Fu Ling feel quite annoyed.

"As a return for just now, I will leave you with a complete corpse," said Gu Chen calmly.

Today, since he dared to come, he naturally had prepared to face all the Saint Sons alone, not to mention now he was only facing Fu Ling.

"Come on, let me see just how extraordinary the so-called Saint Sons really are."

"You won't have the chance."

With the fall of their words, this time when Fu Ling made his move, he went all out right from the start, mobilizing all the sword-like True Essence within his body.

"Sky Sword Scripture, first form!"

Fu Ling's eyes were sharp, and with a cold shout, he used the ultimate technique of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect. In an instant, within several hundred meters around him, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi boiled, dazzling sword light flickered between heaven and earth, and a gigantic sword energy more than a hundred meters long condensed, carrying an unmatchable aura as if it could slash down stars from beyond the sky.

The same move, when used by the Sect Master of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, was incomparable in power to that of the Saint Son Fu Ling before him.

Even back then, when the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's Sect Master borrowed the power of the sacred land's formation, was still far from what was before them now.

The sight of such a strike made the expressions of the Saint Sons turn solemn, and although Fu Ling was arrogant, they had to admit that his strength was indeed outstanding.

Only Gu Chen, from beginning to end, remained utterly calm and composed. Facing that powerful strike that seemed capable of severing heaven and earth and splitting down the stars, he responded with nothing but a punch, from the ground up, meeting it in the high sky!

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar thundered throughout heaven and earth, and as Gu Chen's fist danced, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi boiled. His dark clothes rustled wildly, his hair flew in disarray, and a giant golden true dragon emerged, gliding along his arm, heading for the sky with him.

"Could there really be such an extraordinary technique in the lower realms?" exclaimed He Lianying and the other Saint Sons, upon seeing Gu Chen execute the Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist, and for a moment, they were quite surprised.

Such power in his boxing technique was truly no less exceptional than the Sky Sword Scripture.

"No matter how powerful, it is still just a sublime technique, relying on it, he will never ascend to the Celestial Realm in his lifetime," said Fang Lian, the Saint Son from the Pure Yang Martial Sect, indifferently.

"That is true," He Lianying said with a cold laugh, "Pity this is the lower realm. Had it been in the upper realm, I could extinguish him with just one finger; there would be no need for Fu Ling to make such an effort."

"Just keep watching," said the Saint Son of the Five Elements Sect, Xu Ziqing.

Boom!

Gu Chen's fist was like a rainbow, and the strength was incredibly great. Accompanied by the golden dragon dancing in the sky-wind, their attacks collided like a falling meteor striking the earth, and the moment they touched, countless rays of light burst in the sky, followed by the sound of thunder, along with streaks of lightning that emerged.

Even though the collision took place high in the sky, it still caused the mountains beneath everyone's feet to tremble as if they were about to collapse.

"Sky Sword Scripture, second form!"

With the flashes of piercing light in the sky, Fu Ling's loud shout came again. Upon the release of the second form of the Sky Sword Scripture, countless sword shadows appeared throughout the void, each one branded as if naturally formed, like patterned rules of the universe. At the same time, strands of destructive aura emerged, rending the sky as they swept out far and wide, an aura so powerful that even the Saint Sons had to be cautious, even fearful.

"Is Gu Chen really so difficult to deal with that he has forced Fu Ling to use all his strength?" the Saint Sons frowned deeply.

"Roar!"

An even louder and more resounding dragon's roar sounded, and at this moment, Gu Chen appeared like a true dragon ascending from the abyss. Amidst the radiant light, golden dragons wrapped around his body as if he were an ancient emperor, commanding heaven and earth, his presence was majestic, and his might overwhelming!

Thump!

Gu Chen, with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his strong physique, and his hair flying wildly, swung his fists, shaking the high heavens. All around, the ten-directional heaven trembled, the boundless void shattered, and at this moment, an astonishing aura spread!

The Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist was driven to its limit by Gu Chen. His eyes blazed, his aura became so powerful that it reached a pinnacle, directly pushing the Saint Son of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Fu Ling, into a disadvantage.

Everyone changed colors without exception!

Even the person concerned, Fu Ling, was no different!

In the next moment, as their attacks collided, Gu Chen's fist was unstoppable, shattering all defenses. The myriad sword shadows in front of him shattered to pieces as he, like an emperor, majestically arrived and like a true dragon ascended the high heavens, his fist landing squarely on the Saint Son of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Fu Ling.

"Pfft!"

Fu Ling was injured, coughing up blood, his complexion swiftly turned pale, and his body was unable to resist, flying towards the horizon.
