Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Boom!

Suddenly, at this moment, the high-grade magical cauldron exploded with a bang, shattering into countless pieces that flew in all directions. However, Gu Chen remained seated in mid-air, motionless, radiating light, and majestic as if he were a Buddha who had reached enlightenment.

The five-colored spiritual liquid clung tightly to Gu Chen's skin, continuously pouring into his body through those wounded areas.

Moreover, the raging Taiyang True Fire completely engulfed Gu Chen!

"Success or failure hinges on this moment!"

At this time, even Gu Chen himself looked solemn, enduring immense pain. The burning of the Taiyang True Fire on one's body was a torment not just anyone could withstand.

"The fierce fire refines the golden body, burning away impurities, retaining the essence, transforming and sublimating!"

Flames roared around Gu Chen's body, growing more intense as time passed. Eventually, not even his silhouette was visible, only a cluster of pale golden flames suspended in mid-air, burning fiercely and releasing an astonishing amount of heat. If it weren't for the barrier, it could incinerate everything.

And so, three days and nights passed.

Inside the secret realm, the scenery was primal, with ancient woods like wolf forests and towering mountains, each peak reaching over five thousand zhang high.

At the same time, mighty beasts inhabited this place. In some dangerous areas, there were fierce creatures comparable to cultivators. Although the secret realm was filled with opportunities, it could also be said to be extremely dangerous!

Thump!

On this day, within the belly of a tall mountain, a tremendous sound suddenly resonated as if the war drums of the heavens were rolling. The sound was so grand that the lurking beasts nearby trembled in fear, shaking uncontrollably.

But this sound was like an illusion; it only echoed once before falling silent, leaving confusion and mystery in its wake.

At this moment, in a cave deep within the mountain range, a cluster of pale golden flames continued to burn fiercely, having not stopped for three days and three nights.

The sound just now was the heartbeat of Gu Chen upon awakening. Not even the barrier he had laid down could fully contain it, indicating its immense strength.

Thump!

Thump, thump!

The continuous sound of heartbeats rose one after another, causing palpitations as if an ancient god who had slumbered for endless years was awakening, ready to reappear in the world and giving off such a sensation.

Hum!

Suddenly, within the blazing pale golden flames, an endless radiance burst forth. In the magnificent illumination, a figure emerged, suspended in mid-air, seated within the intensely rich Taiyang True Fire.

It was without a doubt Gu Chen who had been in silence for three days and three nights!

The raging Taiyang True Fire burned all the hair on his body, leaving his skin looking incredibly smooth.

The dreadful wounds that were once spread all over his body had now all recovered. His physique was strong and robust, brimming with an astounding sense of power. He was flawless and dazzling, as if he were a masterpiece crafted by the heavens.

Boom!

The next moment, an even more intense brilliance erupted. Inside Gu Chen's body, every part—the flesh, bones, marrow, internal organs, and even the smallest places—every corner of his body had runes shimmering, secret power unfolding!

Faintly, Gu Chen felt as if he had come to an infinite expanse of starry sky, vast and seemingly endless.

At this time, star after star rotated, the Milky Way splendid and mysterious, the celestial bodies immense. Inside each great star, it seemed that the highest mysteries of the universes were contained.

"Could it be, this is the legendary human treasure trove?" Gu Chen "looked" at the stars before him, feeling the majestic fluctuations they contained, unparalleled, enough to shake the universe.

One of the stars was close to him, seemingly within reach.

Gu Chen saw this and, subconsciously stretching out his hand to touch it, felt himself being engulfed by an endless flood of light.

Outside, in the cave, the blazing true sun fire was extinguished, and Gu Chen was sitting cross-legged in the void, his whole body emanating a bright light that could illuminate the heavens and the earth, reaching everywhere, dazzling to the extreme!

Hum!

The next instant, the place seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, both the brilliant light and the blazing true sun fire converged within Gu Chen's body.

Soon, a flawless sacred body appeared, the tips of his feet lightly touched the ground, standing in the middle of the cave.

The hair that had vanished was now fully regrown, with Gu Chen's whole body gleaming and radiant, splendid and brilliant.

Even his hair, once regrown, was thicker than before, falling to his waist, each strand shining with light and incredibly smooth.

He was like a deity, standing silently here, with waves of radiance spreading from his whole body, every movement capable of stirring heaven and earth, aligning with the grand momentum, resonating as if he was a supreme ruler.

"The Sacred Body Treasure Houses have opened," Gu Chen said softly while standing still, eyes closed, as he comprehended the power he now possessed.

His body robust, his vitality like the sea, his life force vigorous to a certain extreme, Gu Chen felt that if he just lifted his hand, he could easily lift a great mountain!

He knew very clearly that the last scene he witnessed was the so-called human treasure house, containing endless sacred repositories waiting to be unearthed, each grand star being just so.

Or, it could be understood as a series of doors; by pushing open these doors, one could glimpse the true meaning—the Human Body Treasure Houses.

What Gu Chen needed to do was to find the keys, meaning that only if the body underwent transformation time and again could he continue to unlock the Treasure Houses, propelling his strength and potential higher without end.

To peer into and excavate the Human Body Treasure Houses was not something anyone could achieve; only someone like Gu Chen, who had reached the pinnacle in every realm and possessed a profoundly solid foundation, could have a sliver of a chance to succeed and discern the true essence of the human body.

"Just now, it seems I only opened a small part of the 'door,'" Gu Chen muttered to himself, recalling his past feelings.

Then, he looked at his hands; having acquired just a fraction of the sacred depot, he felt a tremendous increase in strength!

Even now, all his apertures had been opened!

There were more than one hundred and eight apertures within the human body, numerous in count, but at this moment, Gu Chen had just opened one of the countless treasure houses, activating a portion of the sacred repository, causing all his apertures to open up, leading to significant changes in the unique Sacred Domain.

With a hum, as holy light diffused, the unique Sacred Domain emerged, and within all apertures around Gu Chen's body, the initially seated sacred spirits were subtly undergoing tremendous transformations, becoming even more powerful.

At this moment, waves of divine radiance spread, and the dazzling holy light seemed capable of cleansing all the heavens. Those seated figures grew increasingly indistinct, yet the vibrations and impressions they conveyed were as if a pantheon of deities were bestowing upon Gu Chen supreme might!

At the same time, Gu Chen could faintly hear the sounds of heavenly music as if somebody was performing an act of worship, which was somewhat startling.

At this moment, with the opening of the treasure house and the partial attainment of the sacred repository, the unique Sacred Domain also evolved and grew stronger. Inside it, the light became hazy, mysteriously boundless, accompanied by the glow of dawn and auspicious mists, appearing truly like the creation of a celestial domain, unfathomable in power and incomparable!

"The unique Sacred Domain is truly progressing towards a path where it can resist all laws, able to withstand annihilation of everything," Gu Chen whispered.

Boom!

Suddenly, the unique Sacred Domain shone brightly, and in an instant, everything around was immobilized, even time and space nearly so.

This kind of method could truly be described as "overstepping its bounds," something that beings of this realm were not supposed to possess.

Even the Ice Emperor from the last great epoch had marveled at the unique Sacred Domain.

If such a method were to be employed, unless facing an exceptionally outrageous enemy, those standing before Gu Chen would be like lambs to the slaughter, easily killable at his hand.

"It's time to leave seclusion," Gu Chen's eyes twinkled, looking towards the outside world, his pupils blazing like two fierce suns.
