Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

It was the ancestral token required to enter the treasury that had nourished countless years!

Whoosh!

Gu Chen's eyes moved, and he instantly dashed towards that place.

At this moment, at that place, Xue Jingyun of Shenxiao Sect, Xiang Yang of Zhenwu Gate, and Shang Ying of the Shang Family were engaged in a fierce battle over the token.

Boom!

Xue Jingyun channeled Shenxiao Sect's martial skills, his body surrounded by genuine Qi and interspersed with threads of lightning, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Thump!

Behind Xiang Yang of Zhenwu Gate, a shadow of a mysterious tortoise emerged, instantly increasing the pressure in the air, causing everyone's movements to stall.

On another front, Shang Ying's gaze was intense as he executed his boxing technique with wide swings and sweeping punches that raised gusts of wind, exhibiting unparalleled power with each strike.

Among the many martial arts grandmasters, the struggle between these three was the most intense, standing at the very core of the battlefield.

"Give it to me!"

Shang Ying's presence was domineering, his eyes wide open as he let out a roar, his body crackling, reaching out to grab the ancient token that was suspended in midair.

"Out of my way!"

Xue Jingyun of Shenxiao Sect raised his hand to strike, and immediately, a lightning bolt shaped like a python shot out. Shang Ying's expression darkened as he dodged to the side.

"This object is mine!"

Xiang Yang of Zhenwu Gate chose his moment, his figure flashed, and the tortoise shadow behind him let out a long cry. The pressure in the air intensified, as if a small mountain was weighing down on the shoulders of all the warriors present, making them tremble.

Contact with the token meant everyone here was an enemy, no one held back, each was giving their all.

Swish!

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and, with five slender white fingers, snatched the luminescent token before Xiang Yang could, holding it in his palm.

Because of this, Xiang Yang grasped at thin air, his expression of surprise frozen on his face.

At the same time, seeing this scene, the eyes of all the grandmasters present narrowed.

"Gu Chen?!"

Upon seeing who the newcomer was, Xiang Yang immediately let out an angry shout, it was clear that he was extremely infuriated by Gu Chen's act of swooping in to steal the token.

"Get lost!"

Xiang Yang of Zhenwu Gate, the strongest genius, employed his full power, genuine Qi surging around him, the air thrumming under the strain. Accompanied by the large fist of Xiang Yang, the shadow of the tortoise behind him hurtled towards Gu Chen.

Thump!

To everyone's disbelief, in the face of Xiang Yang of Zhenwu Gate's full-force strike, Gu Chen simply extended a palm with effortless ease, blocking it in front of him.

Xiang Yang frowned, feeling as though his punch had hit a wall made of Bairen Black Iron, his knuckles in excruciating pain, as if they were about to break.

Gu Chen's expression remained calm as he stood there, extending that same palm, effortlessly neutralizing Xiang Yang's full-force blow.

His presence was deep and solid, like a towering mountain, imposing like a divine peak over the area; all the grandmasters' hearts weighed down with a heavy pressure at that moment.

Seeing Xiang Yang's punch had no effect, Xue Jingyun of Shenxiao Sect charged forward, shouting, "Gods Decree Finger!"

Hisss!

In the void, lightning flickered as Xue Jingyun's fingertip emitted a thick bolt of electricity towards Gu Chen.

Thump!

Upon seeing this, Gu Chen gently flicked his finger, dissolving Xue Jingyun's all-out Gods Decree Finger attack, his demeanor still as serene as before.

"Kill!"

Shang Ying of Shang Family, one of the six major families, charged into the fray. Due to his brother Shang Que's involvement, there had already been some grievances between Gu Chen and him. Now seeing Gu Chen seizing the legacy token, Shang Ying let out a thunderous roar, his fist raging fury, as he aimed a punch straight at Gu Chen's face.

Facing Shang Ying's wildly ferocious attack, Gu Chen remained utterly calm. He lashed out with his foot, which contained the secrets and energy techniques of the Earthly Martial Skill, LingXu Nine Steps. With a loud bang, his foot sent Shang Ying flying off into the distance.

LingXu Nine Steps was not simply a set of movements; it harbored various techniques for channeling force. Should one master it completely, with nine steps they could shatter mountains and fracture the earth.

Any martial skill that reached Earth Grade was complex, and even something as simple as footwork could contain unfathomable power.

Seeing Gu Chen effortlessly neutralize the combined attack of Xiang Yang, Xue Jingyun, and Shang Ying, and even gain the upper hand, the spectating warriors were instantly shocked.

Only a small portion of them had been fortunate enough to witness the battle between Gu Chen and Yuwen Wind of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect not long before. To them, this scene was not surprising.

After all, if Gu Chen could repel even Yuwen Wind, who had opened up one hundred and eight acupoints of the sanctified realm, how much more could he do against the likes of Shang Ying's trio?

Even if Shang Ying's trio joined forces, they would certainly not stand a chance against Yuwen Wind alone.

Shang Ying and his partners were somewhat stunned. How much time had elapsed since the Spirit Martial Stage, and how had Gu Chen become so powerful, as if he were a different person?

"This item is mine now," Gu Chen said calmly, speaking indifferently.

Shang Ying, Xue Jingyun, and Xiang Yang all had ugly expressions on their faces. Gu Chen, much younger than them, was so arrogant in front of them, how could they swallow this pride?

In the crowd, Shang Que, the brother of Shang Ying, was also present. Seeing Gu Chen displaying his might and overpowering his brother Shang Ying, Shang Que also clenched his teeth in anger, his face twisted and fierce.

"Kill!"

In this moment, the three put aside their previous grievances, having witnessed Gu Chen's strength; they banded together and attacked Gu Chen.

And as for Gu Chen, facing the united assault from Shang Ying's trio, he didn't even flinch. His cultivation, immense at thirteen hundred and thirty years, coursed through him, releasing an astonishing surge of energy from his body that seemed to freeze the void. Time itself appeared to have been paused, and everyone was paralyzed, unable to move.

Whether it was Shang Ying, Xue Jingyun, and Xiang Yang, or the other warriors present, they all widened their eyes in horror, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their clothes were drenched with sweat in an instant.

In their perception, Gu Chen not so far away seemed like a devil incarnate, as the energy he released was too terrifying. Every pore of every warrior present trembled in fear.

"Too... too strong..." a warrior stuttered, body trembling continuously.

Facing Gu Chen, they felt as if they had become mere ants, while Gu Chen was the giant dragon in the sky. A single glance from him made them feel as though they were about to die.

Especially Shang Ying's trio, who were closest to Gu Chen, felt their hearts nearly stop, and they didn't dare to even breathe.

Gu Chen had no real interest in making a move against them. After casting them a fleeting glance, he vanished in a flash, leaving no one able to see how he disappeared.

After Gu Chen left, the oppressive pressure that filled the air instantly dissipated, and everyone collapsed to the ground, including Shang Ying and his companions.

"His... his cultivation..." Xue Jingyun stuttered, thinking that if his eyes hadn't seen it clearly, he might have believed the person before him was a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm whose spirit had fused with heaven and earth.

Shang Ying and Xiang Yang didn't speak; remaining silent, they felt a relief akin to surviving a great calamity.

Then, Shang Ying seemed to remember something. He turned to his brother Shang Que with a grave expression and said, "From now on, do not provoke Gu Chen. No, don't even get near him!"

After witnessing Gu Chen's terror, Shang Que hurriedly nodded, like a pecking chicken, nearly snapping his own neck with the motion.

Seeing this scene, Shang Ying finally felt slightly relieved.

Gu Chen, unaware of what transpired here afterward, cared for none of it once he had the legacy token. He simply waited quietly for the final legacy site to open.

Finally, after three more days passed, an intense light burst forth from the depths of the Spirit Realm. It was blindingly bright, clearly visible from anywhere.

At the same moment, all legacy tokens suddenly became scorching hot.

Everyone knew that the final legacy had appeared!

It also signified that the ultimate battle had begun!
