Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

This was yet another task Dugu Yun had given them both.

You Woji said, "This Gu Chen, even in death he won't let us be at peace, but luckily we have plenty of time, with some effort, we'll definitely find his whereabouts."

Huo Ke nodded slightly, he was actually quite curious as to what that so-called treasure might be.

Boom!

Just then, a booming noise rang out, the entire Ling Yun Valley trembled.

"What's happened?"

For some reason, a shadow seemed to fall over You Woji and Huo Ke's hearts, out of the blue, they felt a sense of crisis.

Once cultivation intuition becomes sensitive sometimes, it can vaguely presage certain things.

"Could it be that the Jing Tian Department has sent people to attack us?" You Woji and Huo Ke exchanged a glance, both harboring this thought.

If not for this, the two of them could hardly imagine anything else that would cause such a premonition to arise in the hearts of two top grandmasters in the Tongshen Realm. Read latest chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

At that moment, a warrior from Ling Yun Valley ran in, his face filled with panic.

"It's bad, it's really bad, someone has broken in!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ke frowned and said, "Could it be the deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, has come in person?"

The warrior was utterly terrified and extremely flustered; upon hearing this, he hurriedly shook his head and stuttered, "It's... it's Gu Chen who broke in!"

"What did you say?!" Both You Woji and Huo Ke exclaimed in unison, just like the warrior from Ling Yun Valley, they were completely stupefied.

"He's not dead? But that's impossible!"

Huo Ke even began to doubt his own life; after all, he, in the late stages of Tongshen Realm, had risked injury to use spiritual martial arts to attack Gu Chen seven times in a row; it made no sense that he wouldn't kill him.

Bang bang bang!

Just as the two were about to stand up and check the situation, suddenly, four figures flew in from outside, landing right in front of them.

It was the four grandmasters of the Ling Yun Valley in the Xiantian Realm, now lifeless and dead.

Seeing this, Huo Ke felt as if flames were about to shoot out from his eyes, his whole being dizzy, he almost couldn't stand.

"Gu Chen, you're really not dead?!"

At that moment, the sect leader of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, cried out in alarm, seeing Gu Chen appear unharmed before them.

Clothed in black, with a tall and slender physique, fair and lustrous skin that shimmered with an inexplicable glow, Gu Chen looked at both You Woji and Huo Ke and said with resounding words, "Aren't you looking for me? Now, I have come to you willingly!"

"You little beast, I'll kill you!"

Huo Ke was ablaze from head to toe, the deaths of the four grandmasters of the Ling Yun Valley nearly drove him mad, and his doubts about how Gu Chen could have survived were thrown to the back of his mind; now, that was no longer important.

You Woji, too, regained his composure and said, "I don't know whether to call you brave or to say that you're just foolish. It was luck enough that you didn't die and didn't hide, but you even dared to come straight to our doorstep. Do you really think that with Valley Chief Huo's injuries, he can't deal with you?"

"To hell with you!"

Huo Ke's eyes were fiery as he went full force from the get-go, condensing his Divine Consciousness into needles aimed at Gu Chen, while at the same time, he utilized his whole cultivation to deploy the Heavenly Fire Triple Xuan Palm, seeking to kill Gu Chen with a single strike.

Rage burned violently within Huo Ke, he had lost all reason, forgetting everything, with only one objective—to kill Gu Chen.

Seeing Huo Ke's extremely formidable strike, a cold smile flickered on You Woji's lips, he stood there, watching as Gu Chen was to be blown apart by Huo Ke's blow.

"Very well, then let's decide the outcome with one move!"

Gu Chen's eyes glowed with a deep light, his hair moved without wind, and his black robe rustled loudly. With a booming sound, the divine light within him shined brightly; a stream of power circulated and spread to his limbs and bones.

Not only that, but Gu Chen also used his full strength from the start, the image of a fish leaping over the dragon gate appeared. A gate of light emerged behind him, with rays of light showering down, and his battle power surged once again!

"Old fool, go to hell!"

Gu Chen's eyes were piercingly cold and merciless. He struck out with a palm, and the Great Day True Qi of sixteen hundred years roared. The mountains shook, space thundered, and at that moment, it seemed as if the entire Ling Yun Valley was about to explode, and the heavens and earth were on the verge of collapse.

This was an incredibly terrifying and astonishing palm. With one strike, Gu Chen could obliterate all the corporeal lives before him, enough to slaughter all his enemies!

"You've broken through and achieved divinity?!"

At that moment, Huo Ke's pupils contracted, and a strong sense of palpitations emerged. His entire body trembled, and his expression turned from anger to fear.

"It's over!"

This was the last thought in Huo Ke's mind. Accompanied by Gu Chen's unbeatable palm strike, within the brilliant light, Huo Ke's entire being disintegrated, dying instantly.

Not only that, You Woji didn't even have the chance to react. His sneer had not yet faded when, under a burst of intense light, he too dissipated into smoke and clouds, and the demon ghosts within him also perished immediately.

Including the entire Ling Yun Valley, almost half of it had vanished in the face of Gu Chen's palm.

Gu Chen's eyes were indifferent as he watched Huo Ke and the others disappear. At this moment, he was the only living person left in the entire Ling Yun Valley. It wouldn't take long for the news of Ling Yun Valley's destruction to spread and reach all corners of the land as soon as the next day.

With a swoosh, Gu Chen did not choose to linger in this place any longer, disappearing in an instant. He had other matters to attend to.

Since reaching the realm of divinity, Gu Chen had become even faster. It didn't take him long to arrive at the Xiahou clan.

At this moment, although the Xiahou clan was mourning the death of Xiahou Longyuan, they were simultaneously delighted upon hearing the news of Gu Chen's supposed death.

Right now, Xiahou Yuan was cultivating. Gu Chen arrived silently, and when he intentionally released his presence, Xiahou Yuan opened his eyes and was shocked to see Gu Chen.

Boom!

But the next moment, with a wave of Gu Chen's sleeve, Xiahou Yuan, a great martial arts master of the Innate Realm at full circle, instantly disintegrated into dust and died.

After killing Xiahou Yuan, Gu Chen silently released his divine sense, and all the martial artists of the Xiahou clan were also slaughtered by him in an instant.

The Xiahou clan had already allied with the Refining Moon Demon Sect and sought to be enemies of Da Xia. Naturally, Gu Chen had not the slightest bit of mercy for them.

By today, having come this far and experienced many things, Gu Chen's mindset was no longer the same as when he first arrived in this world.

After doing all this, Gu Chen returned directly to the Jing Tian Department.

He was well aware that during his absence, not only Da Xia, but the entire Nine Provinces were probably in chaos.

Indeed, that was the case. Upon returning to Youzhou and presenting himself to the governor Liang Zhao, Liang Zhao was tremendously startled. He could hardly believe his eyes, as if thinking he was dreaming.

"Lord Gu, what on earth happened?" The supposedly dead man was standing right in front of him, and Liang Zhao was utterly confused.

Afterward, Gu Chen briefly explained everything to Liang Zhao.

Having heard Gu Chen's explanation, the overwhelming joy nearly knocked Liang Zhao unconscious from shock.

The governor of Youzhou struggled to contain his excitement, and made the quickest and most correct decision, saying spiritedly, "That's wonderful, Lord Gu! I will immediately dispatch messengers to convey this news to Tiandu at the fastest speed possible!"

Liang Zhao was keenly aware of what had transpired in the Nine Provinces during Gu Chen's absence and understood that once the information shared by Gu Chen went public, the entire Nine Provinces would once again be stirred into a frenzy because of him!
