Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Geniuses like Gu Chen, when they grow up, might not be as earth-shatteringly powerful as the emperor of Da Xia, able to deter the whole nation alone, but they can certainly be the pillars of Da Xia!

Upon hearing this, King Huai nodded slightly, also agreeing with the statement.

Even Mr. Gongsun, who followed behind King Huai, looked at Gu Chen with eyes that no longer contained the previous contempt and indifference.

Because with Gu Chen's talent, the probability of him becoming a great master of the innate realm in the future was extremely high, as long as he had enough time.

As for the Crown Prince, Uncle Dingyuan, Marquis of Wuwei, and the others, they were already so shocked that they were speechless and stupefied.

Now, the people of Da Xia already felt that even if Gu Chen's cultivation was not as advanced as Ananda's, with his indestructible Vajra body alone, he could maintain an unbeaten status.

"Da Xia shall prevail!"

"Da Xia shall prevail!"

At this moment, influenced by Gu Chen, a crowd of onlookers from Tiandu also began to cheer loudly, similar to a tidal wave, extolling the names of Da Xia and Gu Chen.

After this battle, Gu Chen's reputation was sure to reach an unprecedented peak in Da Xia!

Zha Jiedunzhu's face was gloomy; he had not anticipated that this battle would unite the people of Da Xia to such a degree, solidifying their will, united as one in resisting the Great Yuan.

Of course, the primary source of all this was Gu Chen!

If not for Gu Chen, Da Xia would have already been dispirited, and even lost the support of its people.

In the arena, Ananda, with his extraordinary mental fortitude—worthy of being the reincarnation of a living Buddha—was unaffected and composed, with a solemn expression as his body emitted a Buddha light intense to an extreme.

He clasped his hands together and suddenly shouted loudly, "Ha!"

This sound wave, like the roar of a lion, was deafening, echoing between heaven and earth, causing even Gu Chen to momentarily be in a trance, his mind nearly compromised.

The next instant, rolling waves of Buddha light surged towards Gu Chen like a storm, revealing another marvelous use of his innate protective Buddha light.

He intended to convert Gu Chen!

Seeing Gu Chen's strength, Ananda, delighted by the hunt, wished to convert Gu Chen with the Buddha light, making him the most devout of disciples, to become the protector king of the Bingpo Sect's Dharma!

"Lord Gu, be careful!" Seeing this, countless citizens shouted out loud, warning Gu Chen.

However, Ananda's recent shout had disrupted Gu Chen's mind, and by the time Gu Chen regained his senses, the fierce Buddha light was already upon him.

Boom!

Gu Chen threw a fierce punch, spurting rich pale golden blood qi from his pores, his body flashing with precious light. This punch was ferocious and domineering; Gu Chen intended to scatter all the Buddha light.

But this Buddha light was very special, capable of influencing one's mind. As soon as it approached Gu Chen, he once again felt his mind reel with dizziness, and verses of scripture echoed in his ears.

At this moment, Gu Chen's intense fighting spirit began to dissolve. Looking at Ananda before him, a feeling of goodwill sprouted from the depths of his heart—he seemed like his best friend, or rather, an irreplaceable presence in his heart.

Not far away, Ananda stood there, seeing the fighting spirit in Gu Chen's eyes gradually disintegrate, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, the people of Da Xia started to panic. If Gu Chen were to be converted by Ananda, they would not only lose this battle, but such a talented person would also become Great Yuan's.

For Da Xia, that loss was immeasurable!

"Big Brother!" Seeing Gu Chen trending towards conversion, Gu Chengfeng could no longer bear it, and with a loud yell, his eyes bulging with an expression of shock and fury.

Hum!

Hearing his uncle's loud yell, Gu Chen's body swayed, and a hint of clarity surged in his mind. He immediately concentrated, gathering all his mental power together.

"Get lost!"

At that moment, with his hair blowing wildly in the wind, Gu Chen's eyes opened wide, and from his pupils shone two dazzling beams of light. With all his might, he used the various martial truths he had mastered to break free from Ananda's control.

The next instant, Gu Chen's expression turned cold, and he threw a punch. His body erupted with Gangqi, and with his divine power, a dragon-shaped blast lunged straight at Ananda!

Ananda's eyes flashed with shock; he had not expected Gu Chen's mind to be so refined and his will so resolute that his protective Buddha light failed on Gu Chen!

Facing the dragon-shaped blast from Gu Chen, Ananda mustered all his strength and also threw a punch.

Dragon Elephant Gangqi!

The Bingpo Sect's sect guarding heart method—the Dragon Elephant Heart Sutra—that once mastered, not only could one cultivate a real Dragon Elephant body, but even the Gangqi would become an extraordinary Gangqi, extremely powerful.

Although Ananda's physical body was not as strong as Gu Chen's, and his conversion had failed, he could only transform into a wrathful Vajra, ready to carry out the act of slaying.

He sought to slay Gu Chen right on the spot! After all, with Gu Chen's strength, as he grew, he was bound to become yet another formidable adversary for Great Yuan. If so, if Gu Chen couldn't become his most devout disciple, it was better to kill him before he could grow any further.

Gu Chen naturally sensed Ananda's murderous intent and immediately, without hesitation, let out a long cry that shook the void.

"Vajra invulnerable!"

As the words fell, a colossal figure that seemed to descend from the heavens appeared behind Gu Chen, with a dazzling divine light and blinding brilliance, its majesty and might overwhelming, seemingly able to suppress the contemporary world!
