Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

His ambition, his all, also went up in flames with his very being.

The Marquis of Pingxi could never have imagined his death would be like this, until his last moment, he couldn't understand, where exactly had he offended the other party?

After meticulous planning and relentless pursuit, in the end, the Marquis of Pingxi gained nothing, not even ashes were left of him, burned away to nothingness.

"Go repent in hell," Gu Chen said coldly in his heart.

The Marquis of Pingxi's crimes were monstrous; one could say that he was one of the puppet masters behind everything in Yan State. Thus, his end was well deserved.

If possible, Gu Chen would have preferred to dismember the Marquis of Pingxi and execute him, but right now, there were more important matters to deal with.

"How dare you!"

Seeing Gu Chen taking care of the Marquis of Pingxi without a second word, the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect and seven other Innate Realm martial arts masters were immediately enraged.

Boom!

However, before they could make a move, Gu Chen took the initiative. With a single palm strike, the heavens and earth thundered, and a divine flame surged forth a dragon of fire, with fangs and claws bared, hurtling towards them.

"Kill!"

Upon seeing Gu Chen daring to strike first, the seven Innate members of the Holy Shadows Sect roared in fury. The seven joined forces, charging at Gu Chen.

The reason why the Innate Realm is so called is that once martial artists reach the Innate Realm, they can initially resonate with the heavens and earth, borrowing the forces of nature to combat their enemies.

"Dark Abyss Palm!"

The leader of the Holy Shadows Sect bellowed, and the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi surged and swelled, coalescing into a palm imprint tens of meters in size, like a dark cloud descending upon Gu Chen.

"Spear of the Evil God!"

The head of the Black Sky Sect let out a fierce shout, as the phantom of the Black Sky Evil God manifested a black spear behind him, piercing through the void towards Gu Chen.

"Flying Snow Extreme Ice!"

"Fiery Divine Imprint!"

"..."

The seven Innate Realm martial arts masters each used their own abilities to launch one ferocious attack after another. The turbulent Heavenly Earth Essence Qi gathered like a tsunami, the void rumbled and roared, as if thunder descended upon the worlds.

As multiple attacks barraged him, Gu Chen remained unfazed. Standing under the sun, his body was wrapped in a brilliant divine flame. As he clenched his fists and threw a punch, boundless divine flames surged forward like an endless wave, shooting towards the sky.

Boom!

As both sides' attacks collided, the heavens twisted, the void shook, and Gu Chen, fighting against seven, did not fall short!

"Tongshen Realm?!"

The leader of the Holy Shadows Sect and the others were immediately shocked upon witnessing such divine might from Gu Chen.

They knew that even Yan Qing, also at the peak of the Innate Realm, and the Jing Tian Department's Enforcer in Yan State, could not possibly manage to fight against seven — it was an impossible feat.

But then, they dismissed this notion, for if it were truly a Tongshen Realm martial artist, there would be no need for a fierce battle; with just a thought, they would likely be dead.

That is the terrifying aspect of a Tongshen Realm martial arts master, revered as a top grandmaster!

Seeing Gu Chen exchanging blows with the grandmasters of the barbarian tribes and demonic sects, Yan Qing immediately said in a deep voice, "This man is a friend, not a foe. We must make our move too!"

Wang Jiuzhi and the elderly lady from the Yao Platform Sect regained their senses, bracing their injuries, and the battle recommenced.

With Yan Qing and the others alleviating the pressure on Gu Chen, Gu Chen took on two, facing the heads of the Holy Shadows Sect and the Black Sky Sect alone.

The sun shrouded his body, radiating dazzling brilliance like a scorching sun, and Gu Chen stood among it, his hair dancing wildly, as imposing as a god standing tall between heaven and earth.

Boom!

He formed a seal, and in an instant, a great dragon burst out from the sun, charging directly towards the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect.

Immediately, Gu Chen took a step forward, his figure majestic and his close-range vital energy surging, overshadowing the sky dome, throwing a simple punch without any fancy movements directly at the leader of the Black Sky Sect.

"Hmph!"

The leader of the Black Sky Sect let out a cold snort and pressed forward with a palm, causing the earth to shake and a surge of Heavenly Earth Essence Qi to sweep in.

Gu Chen remained unflappable. Although both his cultivation and physical strength had greatly improved, he was not a true innate realm expert and could not connect his mind with heaven and earth to draw upon the boundless Heavenly Earth Essence Qi for battle.

But Gu Chen was still fearless because, at this moment, he seemed like an ancient war god reborn, descending into the mortal world, capable of shattering all laws with sheer might!

With a rumbling sound, his left hand shone brightly, too dazzling to behold, as if he was holding a small sun. He swiftly punched out.

"Huh?!"

Sensing the earth-shaking power of Gu Chen's punch, the leader of the Black Sky Sect's expression changed immediately, and while retreating rapidly, he activated the shadow of the Black Sky evil deity behind him, directing beams of black light at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen stood undeterred, his vital energy soaring to the heavens and dominating the void. He seemed like a divine furnace capable of melting heaven and earth, his every move grand and unwavering, his bravery unmatched and awe-inspiring.

In the depths of his left palm's flesh, a continuous stream of power flowed into him, spreading to all his limbs and bones. Explore hidden tales at empire

Boom!

His unparalleled punch seemed capable of piercing through heaven and earth, vibrating the void incessantly, and a nearby hill exploded on impact, demonstrating an extremely terrifying force.

"Let me see your true face!"

On the other side, the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect let out a fierce shout, using a secret technique from the sect to influence Gu Chen's mind.

Now on the battlefield, everyone wanted to know the identity of the figure standing in the midst of the sun!

However, at this moment, as if sensing something, Gu Chen suddenly turned his head, his eyes too radiant to look at, as if carrying the light of a torch, with dazzling beams emanating from his pupils. This caused the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect to feel a stabbing pain, and he screamed, blood flowing from his eyes.

The next moment, Gu Chen charged forward, his punch burning with divine flame, unmatched in strength, and with a single punch, the air erupted with a wild surge of Gangqi, the ground instantly splitting into countless cracks, his punch illuminating the entire world.

"Gather!"

The leader of the Holy Shadows Sect hadn't expected Gu Chen to be so brave and advanced, daring to take the offensive against two opponents. With a deep shout, Heavenly Earth Essence Qi gathered in front of him, forming a shield just in time to block Gu Chen's strike.

But before he could catch his breath, Gu Chen moved, waving his left fist. Inside its flesh, the light of the ancient and mysterious gauntlet flickered, and in an instant, Gu Chen unleashed twelve punches.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, twelve dazzling punches appeared, spanning between heaven and earth, and for a moment, the battlefield was filled with flashing lightning, thunder, and swirling winds and clouds.

"Ahh…"

The next second, everyone heard the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect let out a scream. Gu Chen's left fist was harder than a divine weapon and carried way more force than his right hand had. With twelve full-force punches delivered in his current state, even an innate realm martial arts grandmaster couldn't withstand it.

For a moment, the leader of the Holy Shadows Sect lay completely exposed.

"Die!"

Gu Chen's eyes sparked with cold fury as the sun blazing around his body roared fiercely. With matchless divine flame twining around his fist, Gu Chen launched a punch, directly obliterating the once high and mighty leader of the Holy Shadows Sect on the spot!

An innate realm martial arts grandmaster had thus fallen under Gu Chen's fist!
