Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1441 - 326: The Storm Approaches_2

Of course, the successor of the Fire Sect that Gu Chen had slain in the Divine Gardens might not be within the sect’s knowledge.

However, if their leader used their divine powers to reverse and trace the source, expending great effort, they should be able to find out.

It is known that the Upper Realm is not the Sacred Realm, the ten strongest races and immortal lineages can be regarded as the most formidable forces of the Upper Realm.

Even if those imperial families came to the Upper Realm, they would not be able to compare with these forces in a short period of time.

Not to mention, Gu Chen’s identity as a descendant of Emperor Yu, because of the Nine Cauldrons, had also attracted quite a few covetous gazes.

At the same time, the most important thing was that he had received the greatest opportunity in the history of the Sacred Realm and entered the origin land that contained the essence of the myriad realms. This was the most crucial point.

Because the Great Powers of the Upper Realm all believed that the origin of all realms was within it, even if Gu Chen said he did not obtain anything, they would not believe him.

Just based on this, his appearance would stir boundless turmoil in the Upper Realm.

"Should we think of ways to hide for a while?" Cui Ji, one of the Great Powers, frowned and said.

"Hide?" Master Zhou shook his head and replied, "Those are the strongest beings in the Upper Realm, with no escape to the heavens and no door to the earth. Where can we hide? Do you think this is the Holy Gate?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone at Qingyun Academy immediately turned extremely solemn.

Dean Situ Yin was the same. During this time, he had been contemplating deeply, searching for a solution to break the situation, but no matter how he looked at it, it was far from ideal and very dangerous.

"Even at the cost of my life, I must protect him." Dean Situ Yin glanced at Gu Chen with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

Gu Chen certainly felt Dean Situ Yin’s resoluteness and a warmth welled up in his heart.

This Great Power truly treated him exceptionally well, reaching perfection in all aspects.

Boom!

At that moment, before the crowd could discuss further, an incredibly terrifying aura pervaded, and the sky over the entire East Profound Region immediately darkened, as if a great crisis was looming ominously.

In an instant, every creature in the entire region trembled in fear, confused and ignorant of what had happened, with a profound fear growing in their hearts.

"Has the Forbidden Zone of Life emerged?"

"What in the world is happening?"

"Is it the end of the world?"

In an instant, countless questions appeared in the minds of all creatures, feeling as if they were about to explode.

Dark clouds pressed down on the city as if it would crumble any moment; everyone understood that an extremely violent storm was approaching!

At Qingyun Academy, everyone’s faces became extremely grave as they looked up at the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In just a moment, blinding lights pierced through the darkness, and no fewer than five suns shone, dispelling all gloom and descending above the East Profound Region.

"They’re here!" Master Zhou’s face turned stern, not expecting these people to arrive so quickly.

For the Great Powers, traversing thousands of miles was but a step away, and with the aid of teleportation formations, crossing multiple realms was naturally a simple affair.

"Gu Chen, do you know your crimes?"

From within one of the suns, a majestic voice echoed, resonating with heaven and earth, laws harmonizing, as if a god was speaking, the tremendous pressure unparalleled, aiming directly at Gu Chen.

"Hmph!"

Dean Situ Yin of Qingyun Academy let out a cold snort as sacred radiance burst forth from his body, releasing endless light that scattered the powerful fluctuations targeting Gu Chen.

"Of what crime am I guilty?"

At that moment, Gu Chen took a step forward, his tone calm, neither servile nor overbearing. Surprisingly, he was ready to confront the supreme beings face to face.

"What crime have I committed? Do you not know that just for these four words, even killing you ten thousand times would not suffice!" A cold and harsh voice came through, like thunder, targeting only Gu Chen, wanting to cripple him with the complete fluctuations of the law.

It must be said that the person who spoke was indeed ruthless and malicious to the extreme. As a supremely powerful being of great age, he was so brazenly targeting a junior like Gu Chen. It could be said to be utterly shameless.

"Jin Xiao, you’ve gone too far!" Qingyun Academy’s Dean, Situ Yin, furiously bellowed, with holy light bursting from his eyes. He rose to the skies, standing in the firmament, his whole body vibrating with intense law fluctuations.

"Hmph, gone too far? If I wanted to go too far, I could flick my palm and slay this youngster, easier than plucking grass. The way I speak now, I have already opened a net. This is the utmost mercy!" A brilliant light flashed, and a great sun dissipated, revealing a golden-haired man.

It was the supreme being from the Golden Roc Clan—Jin Xiao.

He had suffered humiliations because of Gu Chen several times before, nearly going mad with rage. Now that he had come here, his killing intent surged even higher; he itched to directly strike and tear Gu Chen to pieces.

In Jin Xiao’s eyes, due to a junior that had caused him such embarrassment, Gu Chen dying a hundred times would hardly be enough to quell his rage.

"Are you from the Golden Roc Clan?" At that time, Gu Chen looked toward Jin Xiao and asked, still very composed.

The supreme beings who had come to Qingyun Academy were naturally not the only ones. Many more were hidden in the void, quietly observing the situation.

After all, whether it was the Nine Cauldrons or the Origin of All Worlds, they were all critically important. No one was willing to miss out.

When these supreme beings saw Gu Chen with their own eyes, they too couldn’t help but have their interest piqued. Especially when he dared to face Jin Xiao without fear and even issue a challenge, some supreme beings couldn’t help but flash a hint of approval in their eyes.

"You have some eyesight, junior." Jin Xiao sneered.

However, what Gu Chen said next left Jin Xiao unable to laugh.

Seeing that Jin Xiao admitted to it, Gu Chen calmly said, "Indeed, the people of the Golden Roc Clan are all cast from the same mold—arrogant and brainless, doomed to a cannon fodder’s fate wherever they go."

Upon hearing this, the supreme beings lurking in the darkness all had smiles flash across their eyes.

And due to these words, Jin Xiao remembered the death of the Golden Roc Clan’s monstrous talent, Jin Xuan. Among all the prodigies, he was indeed the first to be unable to bear it, leaping out to challenge Gu Chen after reaching the Sky realm.

Indeed, because of that battle, Gu Chen’s reputation resounded throughout the upper realm. The scene where he tore apart Jin Xuan, bathing in endless Peng blood, was etched into everyone’s minds, indelible.

An Earth realm slaying a Sky realm, and one from the top ten powerful races at that, was certainly astounding. From that battle alone, it was enough to carve the Golden Roc Clan into the pillar of shame, to be remembered through generations.

This was also the reason for Jin Xiao’s towering hatred towards Gu Chen.

In his view, if Gu Chen had just obediently died back then and left all the fortunes and the Nine Cauldrons to Jin Xuan, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.

"Presumptuous! Even supreme beings dare blaspheme. I have the right to strike you down directly!" Jin Xiao roared in anger, his palm reaching out and transforming into a gigantic Peng Claw to smash down.

"Jin Xiao, it seems you are truly tired of living, daring to make a move in my presence!" Qingyun Academy’s Dean Situ Yin was right beside him. Seeing this scene, his eyes were ice-cold as he directly intercepted the attack.

Endless light appeared, the fluctuations of the law were intense, enough to level a great province to the ground. That’s the power of reaching the Primordial Realm, the might of a supreme being!

Fortunately, Dean Situ Yin was very measured, smoothing out all the fluctuations, and therefore did not harm Gu Chen or any of the others.

As for Jin Xiao, his malicious intent was exceptionally intense; his original intent was to kill everyone in Qingyun Academy, which could be called extremely vicious.

The remaining four visible supreme beings came from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, Fire Sect, and the Three-Eyed God Clan. They remained silent, all setting their sights on Gu Chen, making him quite uncomfortable.

"Situ Yin, today you have only one choice, which is to hand over this brat. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to start a war, completely extinguishing the lineage of Qingyun Academy and killing you along with it!" Golden Roc Clan’s supreme being Jin Xiao’s voice was piercingly cold, like the harsh snow of the far north, filled with murderous intent.

As soon as he spoke these words, the entire East Profound Region immediately experienced a downpour of snow as large as goose feathers, and the weather turned extremely cold.

Such was the awe-inspiring power of a supreme being; with a single thought, they could change the heavens and the earth!

"Let the battle begin if it must. I am not afraid of you!" Dean Situ Yin was equally resolute, facing off against Jin Xiao of the Golden Roc Clan.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, with swords drawn and bows bent, a great battle on the verge of erupting, and with it, a massive storm about to sweep through!
