Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1520 - 368: The Stone of the Great Path

In the Island of Origin, when the surrounding major powers heard such assertive words from Gu Chen, their hearts all skipped a beat.

But then they thought about it and realized that if Gu Chen dared to confront even the supreme figures of Taoxu Road, let alone the two before them now, they were nowhere near the level of the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the leader of the Fire Sect.

"Do you think there’s anyone here who can protect you?" Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang’s faces darkened immediately, their eyes icy cold.

The supreme experts of Taoxu Road and the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan took their places beside Gu Chen, directly shielding him.

"Thank you both for your assistance; however, these two petty thieves are not worth the trouble. I’m well capable of handling them myself," Gu Chen thanked the supreme experts from Taoxu Road and the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan with a bow of his hand.

"Petty thieves?"

The other supreme experts couldn’t help but quietly note that Gu Chen really dared to speak his mind, his character was exactly as the rumors had depicted.

As supreme beings, who in the world dared to address them this way? It was an unmistakable insult, and instantly Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang’s complexions turned as dark as thunderclouds, gloomy beyond compare.

"Die!"

Unable to endure further, the moment they spoke, they aggressively moved against Gu Chen.

Both Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang were at the initial peak limits of the Primordial Realm, just one step shy of breaking through to the mid-Primordial Realm.

After all, at this realm, every little bit of progress is extremely precious, and not everyone can improve as swiftly as Gu Chen.

Even those of the utmost realm need to spend a long time consolidating in the Primordial Realm.

Therefore, Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang were confident that together, they were capable of facing Gu Chen.

As for the half-formed Dao weapon, Yuding, even the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and other four exceptional personalities recognized it as a significant threat, so they exhausted themselves, using up their energy to craft a forbidden weapon that could temporarily withstand it.

In Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang’s view, this was enough.

This was the confidence that emboldened them to take the initiative to confront Gu Chen.

Swoosh!

Gu Chen remained silent, his figure flickering, instantly appearing close to the two men with terrifying speed, so fast that even the supreme experts could not react in time.

Because there was no fluctuation in the void, Gu Chen appeared out of nowhere, startling both Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang considerably.

Boom!

Gu Chen made his move, pushing forward with his physical body, his fist emitting endless light, with intimidating and saintly might permeating the air.

In the distance, the observing supreme experts all felt their hearts jump, sensing a palpable throbbing.

Splat!

The targets, Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang, accompanied by a spray of blood, let out miserable screams as they were sent flying.

"Not dead?" Gu Chen’s eyebrows slightly raised; the vitality of a supreme being was indeed extraordinary.

After all, reaching the Primordial Realm, though not to the point of sanctifying one’s physical body, essentially turns one into a Heaven-Derived Battle Body. Furthermore, having mastered multiple complete laws, with their bodies nearly energy-based, limb regeneration was a trivial matter; naturally, they weren’t so easily killed.

Thump!

Following that, the two men hit the ground, their bodies convulsing and trembling violently.

"Insta-kill?!"

The two supreme experts from Taoxu Road and the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, as well as the surrounding Primordial Realm experts, all wore expressions of shock.

Although they knew when Gu Chen challenged the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the other five grand figures of Taoxu Road that this young man must have had a card up his sleeve.

But the scene before them still deeply shocked them. As expected of supremely insightful beings, they could see that Gu Chen had just used pure physical strength.

In the distance, Jin Yun and Meng Qiliang’s bodies continued to recover. Gu Chen stepped forward, stomping down like a piece of the sky pressing on them, crushing their bodies into a bloody pulp.

Simultaneously, with a flick of Gu Chen’s finger, their heads also blew apart, obliterating their souls completely.

At this moment, all the present supreme experts watched Gu Chen with complex expressions, realizing that this young man had risen quickly. Although newly entered into the Primordial Realm, his combat capabilities were extraordinary, warranting cautious regard.

"Brother Gu may be young, but his strength is truly breath-taking."

"I feel the same way."

The supreme experts from Taoxu Road and the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan said with a tone of emotion.

"You flatter me, esteemed brothers," Gu Chen responded neutrally, bowing his hands as if he had accomplished an insignificant feat.

It was just a minor incident, but it did make everyone recognize Gu Chen’s power.

Afterward, Gu Chen did not choose to compete for the opportunities nearby; instead, he opted to continue on his way.

In his view, the most important thing was to find the fourth piece, which was also the last piece of the incomplete jade, lest someone else snatch it first.

If that happened, he would have nowhere to vent his regret.

"Why has the ancient jade quieted down upon arriving here?" After a while, Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brows; no matter how he tried to trigger it with his soul, the ancient jade, missing a corner, no longer responded.

This made Gu Chen slightly helpless, feeling that maybe the time was not yet ripe, and the fourth piece of the jade did not seem ready to emerge.

Thus, he continued on, comprehending the Dao while advancing. After traveling about fifty thousand li, he discovered that at least a hundred supreme experts had gathered ahead.

"What’s that, a sea area?" Gu Chen’s eyes moved, penetrating any interference, and he saw the scene at the very front.

Many supreme experts were moving through the seawater, as if they were searching for something.

"Huh?"

The next moment, light soared to the skies, and Gu Chen saw a stone shining with brilliant light discovered by a supreme expert, subsequently leading to a confrontation.

"Such intense Dao fluctuations." Gu Chen was astonished, realizing what it was.

The legendary Great Dao Stone!

Containing extremely clear Dao Patterns, it helps cultivators at the Primordial Realm and even those asking about the Dao to comprehend the Dao!

Even, some Great Dao Stones work wonders for supreme beings.

No wonder it has sparked a struggle among over a hundred of the strongest.

Boom!

At that moment, within the crowd vying for the Great Dao Stone, an old man whose strength was immense, unleashed unstoppable waves with the motion of his hand, like a starry river exploding. In Gu Chen’s eyes, this old man’s strength had definitely reached the pinnacle of the Primordial Realm!

"The old has reached the limit of my longevity. I have no intention of probing for opportunities to achieve the supreme realm. I merely wish to break through to the questioning Dao stage. Therefore, if anyone stands in my way, do not blame me for fighting desperately," the old man said indifferently.

Clearly a supreme expert, yet his features were withered and his body exuded an aura of decline, a clear sign that his life was approaching its limit.

The longevity limit of the Primordial Realm is at least a hundred thousand years, and one can seal oneself to prolong life, but there is still a limit, one cannot achieve everlasting life and remain in this world forever.

Hearing the discussions of others, Gu Chen learned that the old man’s identity could possibly date back to the last major era, indicating how ancient he was. It was normal for him to be reaching the end of his lifespan.

In the upper realms, there are many hidden supreme experts, and there are even those at the questioning Dao stage.

Therefore, many of the strongest express caution towards this old man, not willing to fight desperately against someone like him.

Gu Chen’s gaze shifted, and among the over a hundred strongest beings, all were very powerful, at least in the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm, engaging in intermittent fights over the Great Dao Stone.

Among them, Gu Chen spotted several in the complete stage of the Primordial Realm, including the old man.

Such figures were only missing an opportunity to make the breakthrough to the questioning Dao stage. Of course, when that opportunity might come was uncertain. It could be that they might never break through in their lifetimes, which was also quite normal.

But the emergence of the Origin Island had also given these powerhouses hope.

Buzz!

At this moment, a stone bursting with golden light soared into the sky, covered with dense and profound patterns, a Great Dao Stone lifted into the air by the waves, flying towards Gu Chen’s location.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Instantly, about a dozen Primordial Realm mid-stage supreme experts spotted it and directly charged towards Gu Chen’s position.

Among them were rulers of colossal forces in certain realms, as well as individuals from secret Dao lineages and chiefs of powerful clans, diverse in their backgrounds.

All were older than Gu Chen, but not a single one showed mercy; many chose to strike to kill for a piece of the Great Dao Stone, their gazes icy cold.

Gu Chen remained calm, standing still. He reached out and grabbed the golden stone, as radiant as the sun, and then with a gesture of his other hand, he disappeared instantly, causing the attacks of the dozen strongest to miss entirely.

"Hmm?"

They frowned, as all of them failed to notice how Gu Chen had escaped their clutches.

It was not polite to come and not go. Gu Chen had never been the type to not fight back.

Right now, he had already moved behind everyone. With a fierce swipe of his hand, a loud thud resounded as if a great star had exploded. In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to shatter.

"Not good!"

The dozen or so strongest exclaimed in unison, their faces changing dramatically.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, their bodies shook, and a trickle of fresh blood ran down from the corners of their mouths.

Up ahead, the other supreme beings vying for the Great Dao Stone witnessed this scene, and their pupils slightly shrank.

The old man, whose longevity was about to reach its limit and whose features were withered, also looked at Gu Chen immediately, especially when he noticed Gu Chen’s incomparably vibrant life essence, a blazing light appeared in his turbid eyes.

"Such vigorous life essence, it truly makes this old man envious," the old man said, looking at Gu Chen with a somewhat greedy gaze.

The remaining few at the pinnacle of the Primordial Realm also took a few more glances at Gu Chen, recognizing his exceptional qualities.

Gu Chen held the golden Great Dao Stone in his hand, gently rubbing it, he knew how he could break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm more quickly.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Gu Chen’s figure flashed, joining the struggle among the Primordial Realm supreme experts for the Great Dao Stones.

He chose not to overly expose his strength, so he did not delve deep into this sea of Dao, but roamed the peripheral regions instead.

Here, basically, all were mid-stage Primordial Realm strongest experts, only one minor realm higher than him. Even if they joined forces, Gu Chen was still very much at ease handling them.

The later stage and pinnacle Primordial Realm powerhouses saw that Gu Chen did not advance deeper to compete with them, so they too ceased to pay him excessive attention.

Boom!

With a myriad of lightning flashes, Gu Chen flicked a finger, manifesting a cascade of thunder, shaking several mid-stage Primordial Realm strongest to their cores.

Then, on another front, Gu Chen clenched his fist, like mountains and seas bursting their banks, with the roar of the galaxy, his punch was peerless, fending off the oncoming strongest, securing yet another Great Dao Stone.

"This youngster just entered the Primordial Realm and possesses such strength?!" Many of the strongest were thus shocked.

They all thought that Gu Chen’s true strength originated from the Nine Cauldrons, but it now appeared they were wrong, and outrageously so.

To be on par with, or even overpower, senior strongest at the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm just after entering it, such individuals were a rarity over countless years.

Those at the later and complete stages of the Primordial Realm couldn’t help but take repeated notice of Gu Chen.

In the competition for the Great Dao Stones, Gu Chen was invincible, matching the mid-stage Primordial Realm, unbeatable by anyone. In less than an hour, he had captured a total of ten Great Dao Stones.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after acquiring five more, I will be able to smoothly break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm and thus take a major step forward in strength!" Gu Chen felt exhilarated, murmuring to himself.
