Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1497 - 356 A Deadly Situation

"Gu Chen, hand over the Seven Star Destruction Formation map!" Douyuan, the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, his voice echoed, rippling towards Gu Chen.

That was the tangible manifestation of the Great Path, a method only available to transcendent beings in the Ascension Realm, truly fearsome beyond measure!

Should it hit, Gu Chen would be reduced to a bloodbath in an instant, no matter how extraordinary he was, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a supreme being of the Ascension Realm.

Hum!

At the critical moment, the master of Taoxu Road intervened, spreading Dao light to protect Gu Chen.

"Thank you, master," Gu Chen bowed in gratitude.

The master of Taoxu Road slightly shook his head, his gaze shifting back to the five ancient ancestors from the Golden Roc Clan.

As for the so-called Seven Star Destruction Formation map, Gu Chen, of course, wasn’t willing to hand it over, thus, he pretended not to hear.

"Humph!" Seeing this, the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace could not help but let out a cold snort, his eyes, formed by condensed starlight, were incredibly stern.

"You dare take what belongs to me, it seems you, young one, truly wish to die!" roared the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

"It is my war trophy, why should I hand it over." Gu Chen’s reply was neither humble nor arrogant, unafraid because of the opponent’s status.

"That belongs to the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, I do not wish to repeat these words a second time!" The voice of the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace was indifferent, the threat in his words could not be clearer.

Upon hearing about the Seven Star Destruction Formation, the master of Taoxu Road immediately furrowed his brow.

And Situ Yin, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, his pupils tightened.

They had not expected that Ten Thousand Stars Palace would bring out such a trump card just to deal with Gu Chen, a junior.

In that instant, a surge of anger welled up in the heart of Situ Yin, headmaster of Qingyun Academy.

The master of Taoxu Road even directly spoke out, "Is this not a bit too much?"

"Too much?" A figure formed of condensed divine fire, the leader of the Fire Sect, stepped forward, coldly saying: "What’s too much is this lad’s doings. Ask him, in the chaos of the Causal Heavenly Place, how great a massacre he has committed!"

The chief of the Three-Eyed God Clan also spoke, "Tai Xu, this time, you cannot protect him anymore. His murderous nature is so severe, we truly suspect his origins!"

"Tai Xu, hand over this junior, else it’s hard to quell the public outrage!" declared the lord of the Ninth Heaven Palace in a deep voice.

In a blink, five supreme beings joined forces, advancing with increasing pressure.

This time, they were not after the Origin of Ten Thousand Realms but were directly after Gu Chen’s life!

The tremendous pressure seemed as if it could pierce through the heavens and earth, those Ascension Realm cultivators who originally stood with Gu Chen had already been retrieved by their respective factions, leaving only him, Situ Yin, and the master of Taoxu Road on the spot.

But with the five masters united, even the master of Taoxu Road had to frown and prepare himself.

The killing intent emanating from the ancient ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan was not feigned, this time, they truly harbored murderous intentions towards Gu Chen, the master of Taoxu Road deeply felt this point.

Thus, he sternly shouted, "Are you five lords truly intending to commit such a destructive act against a junior?!"

"What if we are!" An ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan spoke, his voice utterly indifferent.

"In the battle of the Causal Heavenly Place, this lad’s methods were exceedingly cruel, all who bore grudge against him were slain without leaving a trace of life, so young yet so ruthless and heartless. Those were the future of the upper realms, vital living forces before the arrival of the Epochal Catastrophe, now all taken by this one person!"

The master of Taoxu Road knew once Gu Chen had wiped out Jin Hong and others, the ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan were thoroughly enraged.

Moreover, with the Epochal Catastrophe nearing and the Origin of Ten Thousand Realms yet to appear, this stressed them even more.

Also, the master of Taoxu Road was aware, the most troublesome matter, was that there were definitely beings of the Ascension Realm like the ancient ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan, setting their sights on Gu Chen.

The Causal Heavenly Place was just a trigger.

Regardless, once the ancient ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan seized the opportunity, they would definitely not let go easily.

"Tai Xu, today, you can’t protect him!" said the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

Simultaneously, their cold gazes turned towards Gu Chen, looking at him as if he were already dead.

"Lords, the struggle for fate, life and death are by decree, these were the agreements made long before, why now use this as an excuse to justify?" the master of Taoxu Road frowned.

"Justifying?" An ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan coldly said, "Tai Xu, I think this lad has blinded you, in many situations, he could have chosen otherwise, but he resorted to the most extreme solutions, mercilessly slaughtering all with even the slightest animosity towards him, causing the upper realms to lose so many potential powerful beings, those who had the chance to become supreme beings!"

"I highly suspect, in these turbulent times needing strength, that this child has done these deeds, he might have already sided with the Sacred Gate!"

Saying this, the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan looked towards the master of Taoxu Road, as if suggesting, if he continued to shield Gu Chen, then the Golden Roc Clan patriarch would declare that the master of Taoxu Road was one of the nine revered ones of the Sacred Gate.

The master of Taoxu Road frowned, evidently perceiving this point.

"Imposing a crime where there is none?" At this moment, Gu Chen stepped forward from behind headmaster Situ Yin, confronting the five peak beings of the upper realms directly.

"You have no right to speak here!" The ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan looked indifferently, not taking Gu Chen seriously at all.

Gu Chen said, "I am the principal party, why is this irrelevant to me, can I not control my own life and death?"
