Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 919 - 32 Unmatched Strength_2
At this moment, another from the Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan member from Night Spirit Valley stood by the side, ready to reinforce the action of the person who made the move.
"Some strength, but not much," Gu Chen commented, just like the day he dealt with Ding Dai on Frost Island, pointing like a sword and gently touching, he directly discerned the person’s true form.
Instantly, the expression of the person from the Wind Gate who had made a move changed, their eyes showing a trace of panic, not knowing how Gu Chen had seen through their technique.
"Has this kid reached the Cave Heaven Realm?!" Seeing this scene, the remaining person from the Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan member were both shocked.
"Truly a prodigy worthy of his name inscribed on the Dao Gold List," they couldn’t help but inwardly sigh at the sight of Gu Chen, so young and yet having already broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm, even though they were enemies.
"Make a move!"
Realizing that Gu Chen had broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm, they acted immediately, trying to take Gu Chen down as quickly as possible to prevent any mishaps.
It must be said, they were very cautious, having made ample preparations to deal with Gu Chen, but unfortunately, it was still not enough.
After reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, Gu Chen had a breakthrough right away, and within his body, he directly condensed ninety-nine heavenly veins, his strength immensely powerful.
Forget about these three with seventy or eighty heavenly veins, even if those from the Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley who had condensed over one hundred heavenly veins were called over, they would still be no match for Gu Chen.
The heavenly veins can determine a cultivator’s combat power, but they are not the only factor. For Gu Chen, who had reached the limit in every realm, even surpassing it, within the same realm, it really was difficult for anyone to compete with him.
After all, even the Ice Emperor from the former great era, the supreme being of the heavens, was defeated by him, let alone others?
Hisss!
Gu Chen’s fingers formed a sword, and with a gentle swipe, space seemed as if it were about to be cleaved apart, a sharp sword mark appeared, and at the same moment, the bodies of the three were severed at the waist.
Splat!
In an instant, bodies parted, blood and viscera spurted from the wounds, and the scene was extremely gruesome.
"Ah..."
The two from the Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan cultivator did not die immediately, their faces deathly pale, lying on the ground, letting out agonized screams.
After reaching the Earth realm, life took a leap, and it was not so easy to die; they were incredibly tenacious. Even with fatal injuries, they could still survive for a brief moment.
But it was exactly this fleeting moment that became the most unbearable time for them, filled with torment.
"Somewhat too weak," Gu Chen frowned. Emerging from seclusion, coming down from Frost Soul Sect, he sought not only to gain Divine Power value but also to verify his current strength.
But these three in front of him were clearly not qualified.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely without gain; at least this Yaksha Clan member of the Cave Heaven Realm contributed a full eight hundred Divine Power value to Gu Chen, equivalent to eighty years of cultivation.
"Continue."
As his voice fell, Gu Chen’s figure flashed and vanished from this alley, leaving behind three gradually cooling corpses.
Thus, Gu Chen targeted the positions of some Cave Heaven Realm cultivators from Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley, deliberately exposing himself in front of them, provoking them to act.
All of these people without exception were easily killed by Gu Chen, none able to exert any pressure on him.
Only a middle-aged man from Wind Gate who had spent many years in the Cave Heaven Realm managed to condense a total of one hundred and fifty heavenly veins; only then was he qualified to exchange a few moves with Gu Chen.
"Raging Storms!"
With a thunderous roar, this man stirred the skies, mobilizing his entire life’s cultivation to attack Gu Chen.
"Divine Sun World Illumination!"
Gu Chen remained composed as he slowly pronounced these four words. In an instant, blinding flames surged from his body, an endless blaze engulfed the area.
Moments later, the flames vanished. Within a five hundred zhang radius, nothing but scorched earth and ravaged terrain remained, no object could withstand such destructive power.
The Wind Gate’s Cave Heaven Realm expert also turned to ash following the fray.
Immediately after, Gu Chen’s thoughts stirred, and he summoned the panel.
Name: Gu Chen
Techniques: Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra (Fourth Level), Emperor Extreme World-Shaking Secret (Third Level), Samsara Imprint Technique (Third Level), Soaring Over Void (Third Level)
Divine Powers: Nine Dragons Annihilation (Eighth Rank), Ascend Beyond (Eighth Rank), Heavenly Eye (Eighth Rank), Ten Directions Shatter (Eighth Rank), Nine Heavens Thunder Movement (Ninth Rank)
Cultivation Age: 1,800 years
Realm: Early Stage of Cave Heaven Realm
Skill Points: 0
Divine Power value: 0
Through slaying members of the Yaksha Clan during this period, Gu Chen advanced all four of his techniques by one level.
"While slaying members of different races in the Cave Heaven Realm provides many skill points, the higher the level of the technique, the greater the consumption," Gu Chen sighed softly.
Advancing the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra from the third to the fourth level cost Gu Chen nearly two thousand skill points!
The other three techniques, while not as costly, also consumed a substantial amount.
In the past, at the Celestial realm, Gu Chen’s skill levels were sufficient, so he used his skill points to enhance his cultivation.
But now, having broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm, he could no longer focus solely on his cultivation; his techniques too must be elevated.
Otherwise, having cultivation but no adequate techniques, he would find little use for his power.
At the same time, because of Gu Chen’s recent combats, the forces of Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley, two major factions of the Cave Heaven Realm cultivators, suffered heavy losses!
This incensed the leader of Wind Gate and the patriarch of the Yaksha Clan further; these two powers hadn’t experienced such losses in who knows how many years, and their members ached to tear Gu Chen limb from limb!
Not only that, even the Frost Soul Sect received the corresponding news, which left the assembly of elders astonished.
Simultaneously, Gu Chen’s actions significantly relieved the pressure that Frost Soul Sect had been facing.
"Truly someone who could stand at the top of the Stele, on par with that great being, the Ice Emperor," an elder of the Frost Soul Sect remarked.
"Nowadays, everyone in the Gray Domain is discussing how that ninth prince from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty compares to Gu Jiuge. Ha, if they knew that Gu chap was ranked first on the Stele, some old fellow’s eyeballs might just pop out of their sockets!" an elder of the Frost Soul Sect with grizzled hair commented.
"Let’s keep this information to ourselves; it’s better if only we know. After all, it’s too shocking. To be ranked alongside those supreme beings from the previous epoch, no matter how many heavenly meridians that ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty has condensed—even forty-nine—how could he compare?"
"In the future, this young man will surely make it onto the Dao Gold List, making a name for himself across the 3,600 domains of the upper realms!"
The elders of the Frost Soul Sect spoke one after another, affirming Gu Chen’s prodigious strength and talent.
For only they, who had been in control of the frigid island for many years, knew just how valuable being first on the Stele truly was.
Thus, to those old timers of the Frost Soul Sect, the outside world’s discussions were quite laughable indeed.
"I’ve heard that the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty has discovered a Cave Heaven blessed land from the last epoch. It is very likely they’re staging it to promote that Gu Yan, inviting all prodigies of the Gray Domain to participate in a grand event," they mentioned the matter, their interest piqued.
At this moment, the sect master of Frost Soul Sect, the cold and distant Mu Han, spoke out, "Summon Gu Jiuge back. With him recklessly slaughtering members from Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley, those two forces will stop at nothing, deploying elder-level figures to clandestinely assassinate him."
"Has the sect master already received the news? These two forces are truly shameless to stoop so low, ready to conduct such vile and dirty deeds against a junior!" The ears of the Frost Soul Sect’s elders perked up at these words.
Though Gu Jiuge didn’t belong to their Frost Soul Sect, they were keen on forming a good relationship with him. Hence, they hastily sent out messengers to pass on the news, summoning Gu Chen back.
However, just as they learned the news, on the other side, Gu Chen had already encountered the elder-level figures from Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley.
