Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Chen faced three opponents alone, fighting against Meng Zhanghai from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Luo Shengming from the Red Cloud Sect, and Sun Yin from the Five Elements Sect, who were some of the strongest of their generation.

After the battle, Meng Zhanghai and Sun Yin among the three had their spirits stripped away by Gu Chen on the spot and were refined into puppets.

Only Luo Shengming, who possessed a sacred artifact, was still resisting tenaciously with the help of a black bell.

It could be said that this was a one-sided battle; once the Awakening was activated, Gu Chen became invincible against all methods, completely securing his victory.

Merging with the Coagulation Field was an astonishing achievement that was unprecedented, not even seen in the higher realms, and could be called unprecedented.

Just as Gu Chen intended to treat Luo Shengming the same way, suddenly, a chilling sword intent swept down from the sky, tearing the heavens and earth apart, almost splitting them in half.

Hiss!

However, in front of the Awakening, everything was invalidated. The sword intent had barely touched it before it was frozen in place and, amidst the surging light, it was completely extinguished.

"No——"

At that moment, Luo Shengming from the Red Cloud Sect let out a great shout as horror filled his eyes. With Gu Chen's use of the Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method, his spirit also rapidly declined and soon followed in the footsteps of Meng Zhanghai and Sun Yin, becoming another puppet of Gu Chen.

"Impudent!"

The earlier shout came again as a middle-aged man holding a longsword, his eyes fierce, approached and slashed at Gu Chen.

"Hm?!"

But the next moment, Han Fei's expression changed because he found that the resistance between him and Gu Chen grew stronger as his attack neared, and at the end, he was almost fixed in place.

Whoosh!

With rich combat experience, Han Fei's face was filled with shock, and he hurriedly tried to draw back and put distance between himself and Gu Chen.

"You can't escape!"

A flash of cold light passed through Gu Chen's eyes as he recognized Han Fei to be from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, one of the sleeping Divine Intent Realm powerhouses.

Back then, it was the aura of Han Fei's imminent awakening that had scared Gu Chen away at that time.

However, times had changed. Back then, Gu Chen was only at the Coagulation Field Realm, incomparable with his current strength.

The shining light of the Awakening enveloped him, divine and endless. Mysterious and profound, it hovered over Gu Chen like a cave heaven, and amidst the rain of light, he stood as if in a celestial realm, fixing Han Fei completely in place.

"Humph!"

But the next moment, a cold hum sounded, and a grim-faced old man appeared, waving his arm and unleashing a dazzling sword light toward Gu Chen.

This old man was Zheng Yi, the current strongest member of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Divine Intent Realm who had reached the limits of the Nine States!

Upon receiving the news that Gu Chen would appear here, they had come specially to cut him down!

They had planned to cripple Gu Chen first and then bring him back to their sacred land to be dealt with by the Holy Son Fu Ling, but they hadn't expected to be thwarted the moment they made a move.

Nonetheless, the old man Zheng Yi still had great confidence in his strength.

Because this time, they did not underestimate Gu Chen in the least and came fully prepared.

"Slash!"

Seeing that his first move had no effect on Gu Chen, a vicious light flashed in the old man Zheng Yi's eyes. From behind him, a longsword radiating boundless sword intent and dazzling light slowly ascended, seeming to contain an entire sword realm within, instantly turning the area around them into a scene of devastation.

It was the Sky Sword, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's sacred artifact!

Upon seeing the Sky Sword, a spark of light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. When he had once approached the Vault of Sky Sword Sect voluntarily, it was the Sky Sword that had forced him to retreat.

Back then, Gu Chen had decided that one day he would seize that sword and feed it to his ancient mysterious gauntlet.

Unexpectedly, that day had come so quickly.

"Bring it on!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's expression shook as he laughed aloud, a posture that immediately furrowed the brows of Zheng Yi, who was unaware of Gu Chen's intentions.

"Go!"

Still, Zheng Yi showed no hesitation in wielding the Sky Sword to strike at Gu Chen, believing that with his pinnacle Divine Intent Realm strength, which could be called the ceiling of the Nine States, along with the sacred artifact Sky Sword, he could suppress Gu Chen.

Clang!

Like a confluence of myriad swords, the Sky Sword moved and sundered the sky, severing the void, completely bisecting the world before it into two halves.

Also, with the enhancement of Zheng Yi's cultivation and divine intent, the sword intent was extremely fierce, causing even Gu Chen to feel a sharp pain in his spirit and body.

But that was just a slight sensation, as the Awakening enveloped him, helping Gu Chen to isolate everything!

With a boom, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's sacred artifact, the Sky Sword, carrying unparalleled might, struck into the Awakening and then, before Zheng Yi's astonished eyes, was frozen in place.

"How is this possible?!"

Seeing this sight, both Zheng Yi and Han Fei's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. After all, that was a sacred artifact, interwoven with the Dao and reason. If a warrior in the Heavenly Man Realm wielded it, it possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth and could make the Nine States sink!

Although Zheng Yi was not at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Heavenly Man Realm, with his complete Divine Intent Realm strength, which had reached the ceiling of the Nine States, and using the Sky Sword, it should not have been so easily countered.

It could only mean that the Awakening was far too extraordinary!

Gu Chen seemed to exist outside of this realm, standing in another world altogether. The Awakening was like a supreme sanctuary created by the gods, impervious to attack even from a sacred artifact like the Sky Sword!
