Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1501 - 358: Battling Alone in the Forbidden Zone

"Golden Candle, you have achieved your purpose!" After watching Gu Chen leave, the master of Taoxu Road looked up at the firmament, where there was a giant golden pupil.

"Tai Shi, it’s not that I am heartless. Even if his talent is unparalleled, even if he’s the first since ancient times, he won’t get a chance to grow in this lifetime!" The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan spoke.

The master of Taoxu Road said with a deep voice, "Even so, you cannot strangle a genius and commit such annihilative actions!"

"It’s not me being extreme, but we simply no longer have the time. The origin of myriad realms may be on him, it’s just that his cultivation is too weak to trigger it. Should this child die, it might actually be a good thing for us. Sacrificing him could save the lives of countless beings in the upper realms. Which side is more worthwhile, I think that should go without saying, right?"

After finishing this sentence, the giant pupil that illuminated the world disappeared as the ancient ancestor Golden Candle’s incarnation completely left.

The master of Taoxu Road stood silent, with a concentrated expression on his face.

After a long while, his expression grew solemn and he sighed softly.

The unparalleled genius of all times just perished before his eyes.

At that moment, the master of Taoxu Road turned back to look at his disciple and said, "You don’t seem worried at all?"

Chu Yue Ling’s skin and bones were exquisite, like the ethereal Fairy of the Moon, aloof from the world, independent. Standing there with her black hair dancing in the wind, upon hearing this, she softly said, "Master, I believe in him. Not only will Gu Chen not die, but he will also achieve the Primordial Realm because of this."

"Oh?"

The master of Taoxu Road was surprised; he was well aware that his disciple was not like this before.

"Are you gambling?" the master of Taoxu Road asked.

Chu Yue Ling shook her head gently and said, "No, the disciple is simply stating a fact."

Hearing this, the master of Taoxu Road could not help but smile wryly. How long has Gu Chen broken through to the Ascension Realm? Barely two years in total, even with the fortunes of the transformative realm, it would be difficult for him to break through at such an age.

"He still needs settling." said the master of Taoxu Road. As a being at the pinnacle of the Seeking Dao Realm, he certainly knew how difficult it was to break through from Ascension Realm to the Primordial Realm.

To go beyond the mundane is easy, but to attain sanctity is extremely difficult.

Therefore, the master of Taoxu Road was not optimistic about Gu Chen.

"Just wait and see, master," said Chu Yue Ling, her flawless face remaining calm, as she stood silently gazing in the direction where Gu Chen had left.

...

The moment he stepped into the forbidden zone of living beings, it was as if he had stepped from the human world into hell, with chilling winds and the wails of fierce ghosts echoing in his ears.

Generally speaking, let alone cultivators in the Ascension Realm, even some of the strongest in the Primordial Realm dare not venture alone into the forbidden zone of living beings; the outcome can only be death.

For the rules of heaven and earth here are always antagonistic to living creatures, extremely unfriendly to cultivators from the upper realms.

Which means, no replenishment is available here, one cannot absorb the essence of heaven and earth, but can only rely on their own foundations.

"Fortunately, the world of celestial species is extremely perfected; even here, I fear no consumption," Gu Chen thought to himself.

This was also his reason for daring to come here alone. Since Gu Chen had agreed, of course, he was not coming to seek death.

But no matter what, Gu Chen clearly remembered all these accounts, including those from before. Being humiliated like this, and twice at that, was an utterly novel experience for him.

"One day, I will settle these scores myself," Gu Chen murmured to himself, his deep eyes flashing with sharp, cold light, almost as if they could cut through heaven and earth.

"Roar!"

At this moment, waves of demonic mist surged, enveloping Gu Chen from all sides. Within the darkness, a dozen sinister lights shone; those were the cold gazes of demons, shining upon Gu Chen’s body.

"Human Clan, alone again; what a bold move!" A sinister laugh of demons echoed, ghostly shadows multiplying, capable of confusing the mind of any Ascension Realm cultivator.

But Gu Chen was unmoved, his demeanor extremely calm as he surveyed his surroundings.

Black demonic mountains stood tall, and various grotesque shapes of demonic trees stood beside them like sharp weapons, their trunks showing faces as fierce as fierce ghosts.

It could be said that everywhere here exuded eeriness and gloom, giving people the chills. No wonder even the mightiest did not wish to come here alone.

"What a detestable place," said Gu Chen, frowning slightly.

The atmosphere of the netherworld carried by the forbidden zone of living beings was exceedingly repugnant to Gu Chen.

But he was still better off compared to other cultivators who would arrive here needing to constantly protect themselves with cultivation; otherwise, over time, they would inevitably be eroded and then would fall.

"Stinky brat, what did you say? I’ve changed my mind; I want to flay and debone you!" a demon shouted.

"Hee hee hee, let’s eat him. I love eating the thighs of the Human Clan the most; they’re so chewy!"

The demons discussed among themselves, completely disregarding Gu Chen’s feelings as they chirped incessantly.

It could be seen that they had not been in the upper realm long after coming from the netherworld and were still curious about many things.

Gu Chen’s expression remained calm, neither sad nor happy, and his face showed no emotion.

The next moment, he extended his palm and chanted softly, "Destruction Forest."

Boom!

The roar of an explosion rang out, space collapsed, heaven and earth shattered, and within tens of thousands of zhang, everything was destroyed, thick dust soaring to the sky only to be eroded away by the demonic mist above.

"Not good!" Those demons that had encircled Gu Chen only managed to shout in horror before they were all destroyed.

Having reached the grand completion of Ascension Realm and undergone ten nirvanas, Gu Chen’s magical power became purer, barely any different from the Primordial Realm, or in other words, there was almost no difference at all.

Even with the reinforcement from the forbidden zone of living beings, these demons were obliterated in a single strike because the gap between them was simply too vast.

"Roar!"

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of all the major demons in this forbidden zone. Demonic shadows flew about, and sensing Gu Chen’s energy, a great number of demons rushed to the spot.

As for the ruler of this forbidden zone of living beings, the three celestial demons that were comparable to the Primordial Realm did not appear, clearly looking down on Gu Chen.

This also allowed Gu Chen to let out a sigh of relief, his muscles slightly relaxing a bit.

He was really afraid that celestial demons of the Primordial Realm would appear right from the start, which would have made this operation truly difficult.

"Perfect, I’ll use you to verify the way to the Primordial!"

Gu Chen’s eyes were brilliant as he released two light beams like heavenly swords, slashing through the void, and instantly cut the bodies of more than a dozen celestial demons in half, their cries of terror echoing.

"This Human Clan is extremely strong, we must join forces against him!" shouted a celestial demon comparable to a half-step supreme being.

Soon, dozens of Ascension Realm celestial demons stood together in an orderly fashion, surrounding Gu Chen from all directions with various attacks, the demonic energy soaring into the sky, like a corner of hell’s gate had been opened.

Without a word, Gu Chen’s pores emitted fierce sword energy, transforming into countless sword lights, which, with the blessing of an ultimate sword intent, appeared in the world, directly shattering the ten directions of heaven.

Fourth-grade Great Power – Ultimate Sword Intent!

Within the way of the sword, this technique of Great Power nearly reached its pinnacle, pure and immensely powerful!

Sword lights flashed like startled swans and startling lightning, thundering fiercely, their power unmatched, reaching an extreme point, and in an instant, dozens of Ascension Realm celestial demons were annihilated, dissipating into wisps of demonic energy.

"Not enough, still not enough!" Gu Chen glanced at his panel, his sword brows tightly knit.

To elevate the Great Power to the second rank, a Divine Power value of at least one hundred thousand was required; the value provided by these dozens of Ascension Realm celestial demons was just a drop in the bucket.

Swoosh!

Just like this, Gu Chen did not retreat but instead advanced, blowing the horn of offense, slashing his way towards the deepest part of this forbidden zone of living beings.

On the way, with sharp perception, Gu Chen charged left and right, not a single celestial demon lasted a single move under his hand.

Not even half a move was rare! freēwēbnovel.com

After all, having reached the great completion of the Ascension Realm, if he fought against Jin Hong and others again, it would be a more thorough crushing, and within three rounds, everyone would be pulverized by Gu Chen.

"Roar!"

"Human Clan, you are seeking death!"

"Kill this Human Clan!"

Gu Chen’s actions directly enraged the celestial demons in this forbidden zone; they thought he was coming to his doom, just a little shrimp, but unexpectedly, he was actually a ferocious dragon crossing the river.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of evil demons of various realms died at Gu Chen’s hands, and the Divine Power value on his panel visibly surged.

Seeing this, a hint of joy surged in Gu Chen’s eyes, and at the same time, he intentionally controlled his power, not displaying it too terrifyingly.

Because he wanted to harvest more Divine Power value through this, then break through to the Primordial Realm, and confront those three demonic heads comparable to supreme beings.

As Gu Chen continued to press inward, even with the power of the forbidden zone augmenting them, an endless stream of evil demons died under his hands, nearly reaching a vast third of them.

"What is going on, has this Human Clan not been suppressed by the world rules of our clan, and why does he always stay in a peak state, isn’t he afraid of being worn out?!"

"I don’t believe it, no cultivator in this realm could last so long on our turf, let alone just an Ascension Realm Human Clan, attack, exhaust him to death!"

A group of celestial demons comparable to half-step supreme beings roared, disbelievingly, wave after wave rushing forward.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen, naturally joyful at the hunt, did not refuse any coming celestial demons – no matter how many, he would slay them all.

At the same time, he had a hunch in his heart, knowing that it was about time; the three stewards of this forbidden zone of living beings would probably have to act.

"Ten suns merge into one, Supreme Solar Ultimate Intent!"

At this moment, Gu Chen let out a long howl, displaying the highest mystery of the Supreme Solar Power Skill – in an instant, ten divine suns appeared behind him, then instantly merged into one, the boundless radiance illuminating everything, the divine sun’s flames condensing into 9999 true dragons charging forth.

This scene was spectacular to the extreme!

Gu Chen, at the center, made these phenomenons appear as though he was the supreme deity!

"Ah..."

The agonizing screams of evil demons rose and fell, beneath the Supreme Solar ultimate might, below the Primordial Realm, whether celestial demons or cultivators, no one could withstand.

The forbidden zone of living beings, the black demonic mountains, ancient trees, and even the rules of this heaven and earth, were being annihilated in swathes, like a cataclysmic event.

"Quickly, very soon!" Gu Chen looked at his panel, his expression detached, harvesting waves and waves of Divine Power value.

Boom!

Finally, an extraordinary aura arrived, pervading the entire forbidden zone of living beings – a Primordial Realm celestial demon couldn’t sit idly anymore!

"Finally, ready to make your move?!" Gu Chen’s eyes immediately turned, looking toward the deepest part of this forbidden zone of living beings.

In the surging demonic energy, a black figure appeared, humanoid in shape, but with eight arms and four heads, more peculiar than Long Yi of the Gemini Clan.

At the same time, his stature was considerably taller than the regular Human Clan, a full twenty feet tall, his presence majestic and powerful, like a god-demon walking in the mortal world.

"Human Clan, you will not easily die, I will plunge your soul into the demonic fire, subjecting it to nine hundred and ninety-nine years of purgatory!" said this god-demon figure, his gaze emitting extreme danger with every open and close of his eyes.

Judging by the cultivation in the higher realms, this celestial demon certainly reached the Primordial Realm, quite extraordinary!

A black order divine chain circled around him, besides being filled with a chilling and eerie aura, it appeared to share slight similarities with the higher realms.

"Indeed, all heavens, the netherworld, are but the yin and yang sides of one vast cosmos." Seeing this, Gu Chen became even more certain of this point.

"Human youngster, meet your doom!"

With a thunderous sound, the heavens and earth within tens of thousands of zhang collapsed, a gigantic palm fanning down, as if a primordial demonic mountain weighed billions of pounds!
