Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The barrier between the two realms shattered, as the Yin Realm's energy permeated everything, flooding the entire Grand Cosmos and merging indistinguishably with the essence of the myriad worlds.

At the same time, Gu Chen turned back, his gaze piercing through the endless expanse, breaking past the barriers of the newly fragmented cosmos, and locking eyes with two massive, chilling pupils that filled the heavens.

It was none other than the Ancestor of the Yin Realm!

In the next moment, Gu Chen retracted his gaze, no longer focusing on the Yin Realm but instead looking directly toward the Supreme Realm.

At this moment, the Supreme Realm was also overwhelmed everywhere with surging black demonic energy, a sight that immediately shocked all living beings.

"The Yin Realm is invading!"

"The barrier between the Yin and Yang realms has been destroyed!"

"The final battle is about to begin!"

Thanks to Gu Chen, the Lord of the Eternal Court, openly revealing the truth beforehand, every living being in the Supreme Realm now knew what was happening, and they were not panicked.

All living beings spontaneously grouped together, maintaining the utmost vigilance as they scanned the surroundings to prevent a surprise attack by demonic entities.

Meanwhile, at the Command Platform of the Eternal Court's headquarters on the Origin Island, a grand army of a hundred thousand had gathered. Their momentum soared sky-high, unmatched and invincible!

Armor clanged, weapons gleamed like frost, and a resonant battle hymn was about to be sung anew, reverberating across the central realm of the myriad worlds!

Every cultivator of the Eternal Court stood there with cold and stern expressions, steady and composed, awaiting the arrival of their leader, the Supreme Sovereign of the Cosmos.

This was an elite force, every cultivator unparalleled in strength. Among them were numerous powerhouses of the Primordial Realm and Enlightened Way Realm, while at the forefront stood the twelve Supremes of the Eternal Court.

They lined up in order, their eyes resolute, also awaiting the appearance of Gu Chen, the Lord of the Eternal Court.

Countless mighty warriors from all the heavens had gathered, their murderous intent suffusing the land. Together, their assembled willpower was enough to shake the entire cosmos!

A steel army—those four words were the most fitting description for the grand army of the Eternal Court.

Swish!

In the next moment, amid a flicker of light and shadow, a figure with flowing white hair and clad in dark robes appeared at the forefront of the army—it was Gu Chen.

"GREETINGS TO THE LORD OF THE ETERNAL COURT!"

A hundred thousand warriors roared in unison, their battle cries shaking the heavens, causing the entire Origin Island to rumble as every cultivator gazed fanatically at the dark-robed figure at the front.

At this moment, Gu Chen stood tall, his gaze sweeping across the space, sparing no inch. It was as though he sought to etch the image of every soul present into his memory.

This scene caused him to recall the events of thirty thousand years ago, a moment so eerily similar to what was unfolding before him now.

Back then, an equally boundless army had gathered. With the nine Supremes of the Supreme Realm, led by Nie Gu, the Void King Clan's Patriarch, and Ao Tian, the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan's Patriarch, Gu Chen had led them into battle in the outer void.

And today, thirty thousand years later, the same epoch-defining war seemed to replay itself in Gu Chen's eyes.

The images of the past overlapped with the present, as though time itself folded in reverence.

In truth, this army included many descendants of the warriors who had set out thirty thousand years ago. They had shed blood in their forebears' footsteps to protect the Supreme Realm, creating the prosperity of the myriad worlds today.

For instance, the Supreme Wu Tian of the Eternal Court was the son of Wu Shen, the former patriarch of the Golden Raven Clan. Wu Shen had perished resisting and halting the advance of the Yin Realm's Demon Emperor.

The blood-soaked memories of thirty thousand years ago flashed before Gu Chen's eyes, and his gaze became resolute beyond measure.

In that moment, he recalled the vow he had made to his comrades back then: This time, he would protect the Supreme Realm, and he would not allow tragedy to repeat itself!

"KILL!"

Gu Chen roared, his cry echoing across the Nine Heavens!

There was nothing more to say and no need for rousing speeches. This single word conveyed all that needed to be said about this fateful day!

"KILL!"

Immediately, the hundred-thousand-strong army, along with the twelve Supremes, roared in unison, their cries shaking all the heavens, their boundless killing intent soaring skyward. The aura of blood and steel seemed powerful enough to overturn all creation!

With just this word, the will and spirit of the Eternal Court's army were laid bare.

"KILL!"

In the next instant, countless living beings of the Supreme Realm, moved by this moment, also let out an earth-shaking battle cry in unison.

They had not been part of the great war thirty thousand years ago, but this time, they would personally defend their homeland!

BOOM!

A deafening explosion resounded across the heavens. With the barrier shattered, the Yin and Yang Grand Cosmoses formally collided in this instant!

Endless demonic energy surged, countless spectral shadows flickering, and the chilling aura spread to every corner of the heavens.

Soon after, within a blindingly dark luminescence, the army of the Yin Realm began to emerge in droves—from ghostly demons, to fiends, Dark Demons, Demon Kings, and finally, the Demon Emperor himself.

Every single denizen of the Yin Realm materialized in this moment, flooding the myriad worlds.

Their numbers were so overwhelming that they seemed endless, vastly outnumbering the living beings and cultivators of the Supreme Realm!

Furthermore, as the black fog surged around the Yin Realm forces, it seemed as though even more demonic beings were descending.

"So this is the Yin Realm—truly terrifying beyond compare." Bi Yu spoke, his gaze somber.

As the two Grand Cosmoses connected, he perceived the rules of the Yin Realm, instantly gaining insight into the menace posed by these demonic beings.

"Manifestations of desire, infinite and indestructible." Wu Tian frowned as well.

Xia Huang furrowed his brows, his cold eyes fixed on the Demon Emperor of the Yin Realm. In the Nine Provinces of the Lower Realm, during his reign as the eternal emperor, he had once fought against these demonic beings.

If not for the need to save the Nine Provinces, he would not have retreated to secluded cultivation for thirty years, leaving the governance of the court to the Tower Supervisor and the others.

Even later, after he ascended by breaking through to the Celestial-Human Realm, he felt he had failed to destroy the Six Union God Sect and save the Nine Provinces—a pain that lingered in his heart to this day.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had emerged, accomplishing the feats Xia Huang could not. He saved the Nine Provinces and brought about its current flourishing state.

Yet Xia Huang's hatred for these demons and fiends remained bone-deep.

"Fifteen Demon Emperors!" Gu Qingyan furrowed her delicate brows.

Indeed, compared to the nine Demon Emperors during the previous epoch war, this was the true strength of the Yin Realm.

The number of their Supremes had now reached an astonishing fifteen, surpassing those of the Supreme Realm!

In an instant, all twelve Supreme cultivators tensed, for they had heard of the Yin Realm's resilience: the Demon Emperors were said to be immortal.

Originally, they thought their side's numerical advantage could crush the opposition, but unexpectedly, the scales had tipped in the opposite direction.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted. The boundless supreme demonic chains of the Yin Realm converged, forming an ominous and regal figure.

His pupils were pitch black, devoid of whites, clad in black-gold armor, and wielding a dark iron spear. His entire being seemed to embody all evil and desire, drawing any onlooker into an abyss of ruin.

He was the Ancestor of the Yin Realm!

"Gu Chen, thirty thousand years have passed, and we meet again." The Ancestor of the Yin Realm's cold voice resonated, with fifteen Demon Emperors and an endless army of demons assembled behind him, exuding sky-piercing demonic energy.

"Indeed, we meet again. This time, I will ensure your utter eradication," Gu Chen replied, his tone calm but laden with unfathomable killing intent.

"Heh!"

The Ancestor of the Yin Realm chuckled coldly, shaking his head indifferently. Noticing Gu Chen's white hair, he remarked, "It seems the crushing defeat from last time has taken quite the toll on you."

Hearing the mention of the previous war, the members of the Eternal Court's army collectively narrowed their eyes. However, Gu Chen remained unshaken, emotionally unprovoked by his opponent's taunts.

In this moment, an invisible wave of energy radiated from Gu Chen, instantly pacifying his troops' simmering emotions.

The Ancestor of the Yin Realm noticed this immediately, his brows furrowing ever so slightly.

"The essence of Yang is no longer within you?" He quickly discerned this fact.

Gu Chen remained silent, merely gazing at him with calm intensity. "There is no need for further words—let's battle."

"As you wish," the Ancestor of the Yin Realm responded with a faint smile.

BOOM!

In the next instant, battles erupted across the streets of the Supreme Realm!

In all 3,600 regions, innumerable demons and fiends surged forth. Fortunately, due to Gu Chen's foresight, the past two millennia had seen the Supreme Realm grow in strength and prepare extensively. The demonic hordes were promptly held at bay.

"Is our battlefield to be here?" the Ancestor of the Yin Realm mused aloud.

He was unconcerned with whether the Supreme Realm was destroyed.

Yet Gu Chen and his allies could not allow such devastation. With a wave of his sleeve, he led the 100,000-strong Eternal Court army, as well as the Yin Realm forces, away from the Supreme Realm to an immeasurable distance in the extramundane void.

"Impressive."

The Ancestor of the Yin Realm raised an eyebrow. In a mere moment, before he could even sense it, Gu Chen had transported them to a location far removed from the Supreme Realm.

As he observed Gu Chen, he thought that, in these thirty thousand years, his adversary had indeed become extraordinary.

Originally, he had intended to devour Gu Chen outright, but the merging of the two Grand Cosmoses had interrupted his plans.

No matter—now was not too late.

The Ancestor of the Yin Realm smiled faintly and said, "Shall we let our subordinates clash first?" as he gestured toward the warriors below.

Receiving their Ancestor's command, the fifteen Demon Emperors stepped forward, cold malice etched into their expressions as they gazed at Gu Qingyan and the twelve Supreme cultivators of the Supreme Realm.

"Allow me to test your mettle!"

Bi Yu roared as he stepped forth, his energy rippling intensely and shaking the entire stellar expanse. As he raised his hand, a full eighty-one supreme law chains descended.

The earth-shaking energy surged, supreme patterns spreading, and Bi Yu's power left the fifteen Demon Emperors of the Yin Realm momentarily stunned.

Even the Ancestor of the Yin Realm cast a glance of curiosity at Bi Yu, recognizing his extraordinary nature.

Without the myriad-world essence, to achieve such heights was truly pushing the limits of possibility.

BOOM!

In mere exchanges, Bi Yu forced two Demon Emperors to vomit blood, their bodies regenerating and disintegrating cyclically.

Only with the intervention of Feather Emperor did the situation stabilize, with the upper hand shifting decisively.

"Hmph!"

Wu Tian snorted coldly, unleashing the Golden Raven Clan's ultimate technique. Transforming into an immortal sun, he charged forward to aid Bi Yu.

The two had once been the twin paragons of the Eternal Court in their youth. Their teamwork was seamless, allowing them to hold off four Demon Emperors on their own, forcing even the Ancestor of the Yin Realm to frown.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a dazzling, icy-blue sword light sliced through the pitch-black cosmos. Instantly, two Demon Emperors' bodies were frozen on the spot before shattering into fragments.

Gu Qingyan had made her move!

With an icy-blue divine sword in hand, she radiated an unstoppable presence. Like Bi Yu and Wu Tian, she single-handedly took on two Demon Emperors, dominating the battlefield!

"KILL!"

At the same time, Xia Huang let out a thunderous roar, unleashing the Ancestral Dragon Chant!

"Pfft!"

The Demon Emperor opposing Xia Huang coughed blood, utterly suppressed without the strength to counter. If not for the Demon Emperors' regenerative abilities, Xia Huang would have slain his opponent within a few dozen moves.

The overwhelming strength of the Eternal Court stunned the Yin Realm's army.

Of the twelve Supreme cultivators, even against the fifteen Demon Emperors, the Eternal Court held unshakable dominance.

Especially Gu Qingyan, Bi Yu, Wu Tian, and Xia Huang—each shone as unparalleled heroes, their strength unmatched. Against them, the Demon Emperors could only struggle futilely.

If not for the Yin Realm's unparalleled regenerative capabilities, the Supremes of the Eternal Court might have already secured victory in this battle alone!

"Charge!"

"Slay them all!"

Meanwhile, under the leadership of the Enlightened Way and Primordial Realm cultivators, the 100,000-strong Eternal Court army launched a fierce assault against the endless demonic forces of the Yin Realm. For a time, the wailing screams of demons echoed through the heavens!
