Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1480 - 347: Taking the Lead

Among the Ascension Realm powerhouses present, Gu Chen stood amidst the crowd with a sense of being out of place.

Indeed, this was all because he was too young, which made it somewhat incredible to believe.

Because even though these powerhouse figures had strong cultivation and retained their youthful appearance, they basically resembled middle-aged men, and some were even old.

Even if there were younger people present, their eyes and their aura, as well as their demeanor, all bore traces of vicissitudes of life, remnants of the force known as time upon them.

Yet among those present, only Gu Chen was exceedingly young; even now, he was not yet even forty, strictly speaking, thirty-eight years old.

At such an age, with such cultivation, to speak frankly, it was indeed too unbelievable. Amongst all the Ascension Realm powerhouses, their disciples or even offspring were much older than Gu Chen, which naturally created a sense of discordance.

At this moment, Lu Yu from Lan Yue Lake appeared. He was dressed in blue, with a handsome and spirited demeanor, and an easy grace. Behind him, phantasmagoric scenes floated, that was a bright moon shining behind him, which served as proof that this person had cultivated the divine powers and techniques of Lan Yue Lake to a transformative realm, formidably terrifying.

His perception was very keen, and as Gu Chen’s gaze turned towards him, Lu Yu’s gaze likewise looked back.

"Gu Chen?" That sort of youthful, vibrant aura was too easy to recognize, Lu Yu identified Gu Chen at a glance.

Such an aura could not be found a second time throughout the entire Creation Cave Heaven.

In an instant, Lu Yu’s expression grew somewhat colder, after all, Gu Chen had a grudge with his clan, having slain their youngest and most formidable successor, Lan Hua.

"Is a fight about to break out?" For a while, the eyes of other powerhouse figures shifted, clearly, they were quite aware of the grudge between Gu Chen and Lan Yue Lake.

"If Lu Yu makes a move, Gu Chen has no chance at all. How long has he been in the Ascension Realm? He’s not even close to a fraction of Lu Yu," said an Ascension Realm powerhouse, shaking their head.

One must know, half-step to supreme is not some common cabbage; in the vast Upper Realm, they are quite rare.

Because, reaching that step proves that, barring any accidents in this life, such individuals will inevitably achieve Primordial state and attain supreme status, occupying one of the top positions in the Upper Realm.

Only the very top clans and forces within the thirty-six hundred domains could hope to cultivate such talent.

Otherwise, even amongst the ten great races and the twelve Great Undying Dao Clans, there would not be only one contemporary half-step supreme being.

"A youngster dares to meddle in the affairs of his elders, truly an audacious ignorance of where one’s courage comes from," Lu Yu glanced at Gu Chen, shaking his head slightly as he spoke.

His tone was somewhat detached, as if an elder was reprimanding a junior.

If it were a matter of age, such words would not be an issue, but the cultivation world doesn’t operate like this, reaching the top comes first, and everything is accounted for by strength!

Moreover, other powerhouse figures were aware that Lu Yu was unmistakably condescending, feeling that Gu Chen was young and lacked strength. If he were to act, it would be beneath his dignity, so he chose to reprimand with words.

But unexpectedly, Gu Chen’s attitude was even more resolute than anyone had imagined; he glanced at Lu Yu nonchalantly and said lightly, "Where did this old man come from, being senile here."

When these words were spoken, the brows of the Ascension Realm powerhouses present all went up a bit, and they looked at Gu Chen in slight surprise, secretly thinking that this young junior was indeed very audacious.

On hearing this, Lu Yu’s face darkened slightly too. Although he was of advanced age, he didn’t deserve the label "old man," and it was clear that Gu Chen was insulting him. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Therefore, he expressed himself bluntly, looking at Gu Chen with a cold voice, "Junior, you are being too presumptuous. Didn’t your elders teach you the concept of respect for seniority?"

Gu Chen turned his gaze, looked at Lu Yu, and said, "I only know that in the cultivation world, the strongest leads, and strength dictates all. What’s wrong, could it be that someone older than an Ascendant of the Ascend to Heaven Realm should still respectfully address them as seniors?"

"Impudent!"

Lu Yu’s expression turned icy as he shouted, "Such existences are not for you, a reserve, to criticize! Moreover, it’s you who said that in the cultivation world, the strongest leads. Yet you still dare to be so disrespectful towards me, a senior. I admit you have outstanding talent, but aren’t you a bit too arrogant? Are you proud at the expense of modesty?!"

"This young junior is indeed too proud and overbearing, to face a half-step supreme and still dare such disrespect," other Ascension Realm powerhouses also frowned slightly, in their view, their own generation was superior to Gu Chen, so his words just now upset quite a few people.

Gu Chen’s perception was extremely sharp; he naturally noticed the discontent amongst these people, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it. The opinions of others were insignificant to him.

Caring too much about how others see you will only drag you down. He would do as he pleased, as these people before him had no right to interject.

Buzz!

At this time, from the small world ahead, nine kinds of Immortal radiance soared skyward, overwhelmingly radiant, nearly illuminating the entire sky.

"Is the Nine Mystical Immortal Lights about to emerge?!" A high-level powerhouse exclaimed, eyes shining, watching the scene ahead without blinking.
