Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Aaahh!"

The next moment, a resounding dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted as Gu Chen moved his body, unleashing the Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist. Blazing golden light illuminated the whole world, and a colossal golden dragon formed within his palm, accompanying his fist as it smashed forward!

At the same time, everyone in Tiandu witnessed this punch. The mere sight of its tremendous presence caused countless people's pupils to contract, filling them with a sense of dread.

Even the Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, who had earlier appeared so relaxed, no longer stood still after Gu Chen had reached the complete stage of the Divine Intent Realm. He faced the punch with a change in demeanor.

Boom!

He too extended an arm, clashing with Gu Chen's fist. At their collision, a tumultuous roar akin to a mountain tsunami erupted, with dazzling lights flaring incessantly in the heavens and the earth.

But at this moment, as their fists and palms met, a cold, ruthless smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chen's mouth. With a mere thought, the Astounding Imperial Dragon Fist instantly went from a small accomplishment to the complete stage!

"Aaahh roarr!"

In an instant, the dragon's roar grew louder, and the power of Gu Chen's fist surged accordingly!

Through the unprecedentedly profound strength of 6,600 years, combined with the mastered supreme skill, Gu Chen delivered a world-shocking blow!

Boom, rumble, rumble!

An explosive sound thundered, as if heaven's thunder descended upon the world. This punch was enough to turn mountains and rivers pale, render the sun and moon dark, distort and collapse the void. Gu Chen's fist shook the world, ready to shatter everything that stood in his way!

The Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, seemed not to have anticipated the sheer increase in power from Gu Chen's punch. His expression of astonishment showed how unexpectedly he was caught off guard, and in a rush, he was sent flying by Gu Chen's attack.

"Fantastic!"

In the Imperial Palace of Tiandu, and indeed throughout the whole world, everyone was overjoyed to see Gu Chen gaining the upper hand. They watched unblinkingly at the battle that unfolded in the sky above.

At this moment, even though Gu Chen had just sent Dugu Yun flying with a punch, his expression remained grave. The Heavenly Human Gazing Skill manifested, and after expending a large amount of merit points, this supreme skill passed down from the Tower Supervisor also reached its complete stage!

Even at this moment, without having fully unleashed its power, Gu Chen could vaguely sense the events that would unfold next.

Hum!

Although it was daytime, the sky was still filled with stars that spread far and wide, converging before Gu Chen to form a massive and complex star disk, dazzling and bewildering to behold.

Boom!

Following that, the star disk spun, countless stars converging into a massive column of light that shot out, hitting the Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, with precision!

"Good!"

At this sight, the crowd erupted in cheers once more. Under the previously desperate circumstances, they each harbored a glimmer of hope, their eyes shining with tension.

Given the choice, who would wish to perish?

Now, the entirety of Tiandu, having learned the truth, was united in wanting Gu Chen to defeat the Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun.

It could be said that the fervor for this battle was unprecedented, capturing the attention of everyone under the heavens!

Swish!

In the midst of battle, Gu Chen suddenly looked shocked, for the Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, had already appeared behind him. Although he had anticipated this turn of events, his opponent's speed was simply too fast, leaving him no time to react!

With a thud, Dugu Yun struck Gu Chen's shoulder, causing the latter to stagger and almost plummet from the sky.

Seeing Gu Chen falter, numerous people across Tiandu panicked while at the same time, they realized that despite receiving two heavy strikes from Gu Chen, the Demon Sect Leader appeared largely unscathed, his clothing the only thing slightly damaged!

"How is that possible?!" Ji Yuan, Qin Wu, and others wore shocked expressions, their pupils constricting to the size of pinheads, evidently astounded.

They were well aware of Gu Chen's strength, yet such attacks seemed to have not harmed Dugu Yun at all, which was inconceivable to them.

"Not bad at all, it's time for me to use thirty percent of my strength," said the Demon Sect Leader, Dugu Yun, after bringing Gu Chen close to coughing up blood with his hit.

Gu Chen furrowed his brows, but he didn't choose to retreat. He activated his perfected Great Sun Golden Body, the true fire of the sun blazing intensely as he engaged in close combat with the leader of the demonic sect.

Gu Chen didn't believe it. With all his peerless martial skills perfected, could he really not handle the man before him, Dugu Yun?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the two unleashed a decisive battle between them, with myriad rays of light exploding brilliantly, dazzling to the point of being blinding, while terrifying shockwaves destroyed everything in their path; the void shattered, the earth collapsed, dust filled the sky. Each of their strikes carried the horrendous might of apocalyptic devastation. The appearance of such figures in battle spelled catastrophe wherever they fought!

Yet, just as Tower Supervisor Dugu Yun had said, no matter how Gu Chen exerted his 6,600 years of cultivation, coupled with all his perfected extraordinary martial arts, he still couldn't get the upper hand.

At this moment, the situation reverted back to how it was at the beginning of their fight, where no matter what attack Gu Chen launched, Dugu Yun effortlessly neutralized it.

Suddenly, the difference in their strength was clear.

At the same time, this sight caused the hearts of everyone in Tiandu to hang in suspense; they clenched their jaws tight, their fists clenched so hard from the tension that their expressions became grim.

And the faint glimmers of hope that had risen in the depths of their hearts were shattering, one after another.

"I admit, you are indeed extraordinary," Tower Supervisor Dugu Yun said with an emotionless face, "but unfortunately, the gap between us is there for all to see. No matter how hard you try, you can never fight on par with me."

At this moment, Gu Chen's expression was one of utmost solemnity. He had already exerted his full strength, but still, he couldn't do anything to his opponent, which truly made him feel powerless.

One could say that the might of the Tower Supervisor before him was something Gu Chen had never encountered in his life before.

He executed one ultimate skill after another, but all were useless, effortlessly blocked by his opponent. On the other hand, each move that Dugu Yun launched contained power that was not something Gu Chen could easily bear; he had to treat each attack with the utmost care.

"Is this the power of the Divine Intent Realm, or is this the so-called 'demonic heresy'?" Gu Chen's eyes darkened, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

At the same time, he realized that Dugu Yun had not even used his full strength. If this continued, the one facing defeat would definitely be him.

"It seems, this time, you have truly met your match," Tower Supervisor Dugu Yun said indifferently, appearing very relaxed and at ease.

This time, Gu Chen didn't speak, his expression silent. Could he really find a way to defeat such a Dugu Yun?

Although Gu Chen still had cards left unplayed, like the mysterious gauntlets and the Heavenly Seed, these two were not all-powerful. Moreover, Dugu Yun clearly hid even more strength.

Even if he used the Heavenly Seed and the mysterious gauntlets, he might still not be a match for Dugu Yun, as he had just reached this conclusion after observing Dugu Yun with the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill.

For the first time, Gu Chen found himself in a genuine predicament, no matter how he pondered or used the perfected Heavenly Human Gazing Skill to predict outcomes, he couldn't see any chance of victory for himself.

Countless scenes flashed before Gu Chen's eyes, with the final outcome always being his death followed by the destruction of Tiandu, billions of lives perishing miserably, blood forming rivers, corpses floating on the water, and this realm turning into hell.

"If that's the case, then let me send you on your way," Dugu Yun stated, launching a palm strike as fast as lightning that completely exceeded Gu Chen's reaction time. The moment the image flashed through Gu Chen's mind, the attack had already arrived.

"Pff!"

This palm strike hit Gu Chen in the chest, and even his perfected Great Sun Golden Body could not withstand it.

Gu Chen coughed up blood profusely, and sounds of his bones breaking echoed from within him. Accompanied by another strike from Tower Supervisor Dugu Yun, blood sprayed wildly, and Gu Chen's body plummeted straight down from the heavens above.

"No—"

"Gu Chen!"

Seeing this, every person in Tiandu was filled with rage, shouting at the top of their lungs, with some nearly bursting into tears, their fingernails embedded in flesh without their noticing.

Not only that, but at this moment, a boundless despair had enveloped everyone's hearts, including Ji Yuan, Qin Wu, and the others.

Witnessing Gu Chen's defeat, their complexions turned ashen, their spirits seemingly drained from them, standing there in a daze, their eyes devoid of any spark.

"It's over... Tiandu is finished..."

Someone murmured, fully aware that if Gu Chen fell, it would mean the doom of Tiandu!

In such a moment, clouds of darkness rolled across the sky, casting their shadow over every member of the Human Clan. Watching that demonic figure in the heavens above filled them with unspeakable fear and despair!
