Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 609 449 - Domineering to the End_1

"This... he's dead just like that? Isn't that too easy?" a martial artist muttered, still somewhat dazed even now.

It wasn't just him, everyone at the scene was somewhat bewildered, and they didn't understand what had just happened.

Because, at that moment, all of their senses had disappeared, they could neither see nor hear anything.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened, how did three geniuses from the upper world die just like that?"

"I... I thought I saw, just now, that Marquis Wu'an simply waved his sleeve, and then there was a roaring sound..."

At this time, a martial artist with sharp eyes said, having caught a glimpse of a scene at the crucial moment.

Just as he had said, Gu Chen merely waved his sleeve, and then there was a great commotion of thunder and wind, followed by the scene they had all witnessed.

"Just... a wave of his sleeve, and three geniuses from the upper world died?" People looked on in shock, and couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

"It seems... yes." The martial artist who spoke hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

At this moment, all those who became aware of the incident, widened their eyes, looking at Gu Chen with a gaze filled with terror and awe.

They realized that the strength of Marquis Wu'an, the guardian envoy of Da Xia, seemed to have achieved a new breakthrough compared to the last time he made a move.

"Indeed, Marquis Wu'an cannot be judged by common sense, could it be that, this time, he could really win?!" A thought suddenly emerged in the minds of many people.

And at this moment, the disciples from the holy lands and warriors from Tianzhou were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a single word.

Even, they were thinking to themselves, why had the elders from the holy lands and people like Zhong Jun not arrived yet, could it be they heard some news and felt unsure about their odds?

While they were engrossed in such thoughts, whoosh, above the sky, nine figures descended again.

"Look, people from the holy lands are here!"

"The elders of our holy lands have arrived, Gu Chen is finished!"

The nine figures falling from the heavens were none other than the nine elder-level individuals from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and Mount Tianzhu. They were all at the great consummation stage of the Tongshen Realm, their auras drawing the essence of heaven and earth as they stared at Gu Chen with stern looks.

"Is it just the few of you?" Gu Chen asked.

"What, you think the nine of us aren't enough to handle your dead body?" one of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect elders said coldly.

In their struggle against Gu Chen, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect had lost the most, and their loss of face was equally substantial. Hence, among the three great holy lands, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect was the most eager to kill Gu Chen.

"So-called geniuses of the holy lands don't dare to come in person, so they sent you nine to deliver yourselves and test my strength?" Gu Chen said with a faint smile.

Such words immediately darkened the faces of the nine elders from Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and Mount Tianzhu.

"So audacious, does Marquis Wu'an want to be dominant to the end?" a martial artist muttered softly.

"Hmph, he's stubbornly resisting. Nearing death and still posturing. It won't take three rounds for the nine holy land elders to hack him to pieces!" a holy land martial artist snorted.

Hiss!

At that moment, Gu Chen's gaze shifted and suddenly looked at this person; with his hearing, he of course knew exactly what this person had said.

"Ah..."

When Gu Chen looked his way, the earlier mocking holy land martial artist immediately let out a scream, blood flowing from all seven orifices as he died on the spot.

"How dare you!"

Seeing Gu Chen act so brazenly in their presence, the nine holy land elders were immediately enraged.

"Strike him down!"

The three elders from Vault of Sky Sword Sect were the first to lose their composure. With a clanging sound, they drew the divine-grade weapons from behind them. Their auras intertwined, directly forming the Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array, stirring up a fierce sword qi storm intended to crush Gu Chen right where he stood.

Previously, Gu Chen would find the Return to Origin Extinguishing Sword Array difficult and would approach it with caution, but this time, after his breakthrough, reaching the late stage of the Tongshen Realm with a tremendous 2,300-years worth of strength, he could face it fearlessly.

The Gang Wind came howling, but it stopped abruptly just before reaching Gu Chen, as if there was an invisible wall in front preventing all the powerful winds and sharp sword qi from advancing even slightly.

"Hmm?!"

Witnessing this scene, the three elders from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's expressions changed, suddenly feeling less confident in their hearts.

Fortunately, they knew that Gu Chen had killed Bi Yu and taken his unique divine weapon, so this time, there were a total of nine holy land elders joining the attack.

The reason King Huai had spread the news was also to let the people of the world know of Gu Chen's strength.

Unfortunately, this time, King Huai was bound to miscalculate.

"Strike now!"

At this moment, the three elders from Burning Heaven Valley also let out an angry shout. Working together, their auras merged, and with a wave of their hands, a raging fire dragon surged forth, pouncing towards Gu Chen.

"Die!"

The three old masters from Mount Tianzhu shouted coldly, employing Mount Tianzhu's Earthly Martial Skills. In an instant, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi churned, and a massive phantom of a mountain peak appeared, pressing down on Gu Chen from above.

As soon as this mountain emerged, it brought an immense pressure; even those who were watching the battle from a distance felt their bodies suddenly become heavier, as the pressure on them more than doubled instantly.

Those who were far away felt this way, so it was hard to imagine the pressure that Gu Chen, standing close by and facing the mountain phantom, must have been enduring.

Yet, Gu Chen remained as calm as ever. Having transformed his fleshly body and increased his cultivation, within the Tongshen Realm, he had become invincible!

No matter who came, be they holy land elders or upper world geniuses, engaging in battle with Gu Chen, they could not escape the fate of death.

However, these nine holy land elders joining hands did indeed possess some extraordinary power, causing Gu Chen to feel some pressure.

Martial artists at the very pinnacle of the Coagulation Field realm, if they did not use their "Field," might also find this situation challenging.

"However, just the nine of you alone are not enough to kill me." Gu Chen's expression was serene; after his last improvement, whether it be his physical body, divine consciousness, or cultivation level, within the Tongshen Realm, there was now no one in the entire Nine Provinces who could match him.

Gu Chen's gaze was already set upon the Coagulation Field realm. If possible, he truly wished to engage in combat with the martial artists at the very pinnacle of the Coagulation Field realm to test his strength.

"If I could get up close and personal with the so-called 'domain,' I'm sure I could gain something exceptional. It would be a great help for my future step into the Coagulation Field."

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, as the attacks from the nine elders of the saint domains came charging, Gu Chen's figure, which had been standing in place, suddenly vanished like a bubble, unseen by anyone present.

"What's going on?"

"Where's Marquis of Wu'an?"

"Where did he go? Did he flee because he knew he couldn't win?"

Not only were the nine elders from the three saint domains bewildered, but so were the spectators. Gu Chen's speed was too fast for anyone to catch a glimpse.

"Be careful!"

At that moment, the three elders from Mount Tianzhu urgently cried out, warning the elders from Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

"Huh?!"

A chill rose from within the three elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect in the next moment.

"Fifth step!"

Gu Chen moved like a fleeting shimmer, stepping through the light and shadow, and with his fifth step, he was already above the heads of the three elders from Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

With the completion of LingXu Nine Steps and the proficiency of moving silently and tracelessly, even the Earthly Martial Skills from Mount Tianzhu that increased gravity were futile. Gu Chen could instantly break free from their effects.

LingXu Nine Steps was not only a speed-focused martial art but also one of slaughter. In an instant, four steps were taken, ghost-like, above the heads of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's three elders, and then the fifth step was decisively made.

This step shook the heavens and earth, astonishing everyone with the sense of a groundbreaking revelation.

Boom!

There was a hidden force underfoot, as Qi Yun Mountain trembled, and the three elders covered by Gu Chen's LingXu Nine Steps felt an unprecedented pressure.

"Return to Origin Extinguishing, Slash!"

The three of them roared in anger. At this point, there was no escape—resisting head-on was the only strategy left.

"Kill!"

At the same time, the other side erupted with shouts as the six elders from Burning Heaven Valley and Mount Tianzhu charged towards Gu Chen.

"It's too late."

At that moment, Gu Chen's expression was cold and ruthless. With the fifth step of the LingXu Nine Steps, his foot stomped down hard through the air. Suddenly, the ground collapsed, dust billowed, a terrifying force was unleashed, the oppressive pressure turned into a shockwave, the sword qi was instantly annihilated, and the earth shook tremendously as if it was about to split open. A huge pit instantly formed on the spot.

The three elders of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect were dead to the last, reduced to ash by Gu Chen's foot in a face-to-face encounter.

Such was the fearsome power of a perfected LingXu Nine Steps!

Of course, Gu Chen's own strength was also a factor. Even if someone at the great completion of the Divine Realm perfected the LingXu Nine Steps, they couldn't cause such devastating damage.

Moreover, this was only the fifth step; the next four would be even more formidable.

Gu Chen estimated that with the ninth step, the entirety of Qi Yun Mountain wouldn't withstand it and would collapse in an instant, possibly turning half of the mountain peak to dust.

"All three elders from Vault of Sky Sword Sect dead with a single step?!" It wasn't just the observing warriors who were shocked; the six elders from Burning Heaven Valley and Mount Tianzhu couldn't believe it either.

A chilling fear surged from the bottom of their hearts, seemingly exploding their scalps.

Such strength was unheard of, unseen before. Could elite geniuses from the higher realms like Yuan Tian and Zhong Jun achieve this?

"Don't rush, I'll send all nine of you old fellows on the same journey—good company for the road to the Yellow Springs," said Gu Chen as he turned around, his gaze intensely piercing.

Dominant and overbearing—the spectators could only think of this when they saw Gu Chen taking action.

"True to form, the unyielding approach is indeed Marquis of Wu'an's style," an older warrior lamented.

"So, this is the real strength of Marquis of Wu'an. It seems this time, the six saint domains are going to come back defeated, and the victory stands a great chance of falling into Marquis of Wu'an's hands!"

"Victory? Nonsense, with countless masters within the saint domains and a kill order issued, they will be tireless in pursuing Gu Chen. Can he withstand it once, twice, three times? Besides, it's not certain that this time will end in failure!"

A martial artist from one of the saint domains said through gritted teeth, clearly not having anticipated this scenario.

"Blazing Flames Enveloping the Heaven!"

"Heaven Mountain Print Law!"

The six elders from Burning Heaven Valley and Mount Tianzhu roared, unleashing two Earth Grade martial skills together. A phantom of Heaven Mountain suppressed Gu Chen, preventing his escape, and then a dragon of fire scorched heaven and earth, descending upon him.

"Extreme God Nerve!"

Suddenly, Gu Chen uttered a soft shout. Using the perfected Extreme God Nerve, his tangible mental power surged out like a wave of light, tearing a rift in the void. Caught unawares, the six elders from Burning Heaven Valley and Mount Tianzhu screamed as Gu Chen's mental attack engulfed them in darkness.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Gu Chen's figure flashed, he leapt into the air, and once again applied LingXu Nine Steps—but this time, it wasn't the fifth step, it was the sixth!

Boom!

Instantly, the mountain trembled, an astonishing energy filled the air, and countless ancient trees and rocks around burst into pieces from the immense pressure, shaking the five-hundred-foot-tall Qi Yun Mountain under everyone's feet as if it could no longer bear the strain.

A sense of death loomed over the six elders from Burning Heaven Valley and Mount Tianzhu, making their bodies tremble involuntarily.

After all, there is a great fear between life and death, an instinct of life that few can overcome.

Just as they were about to be reduced to ashes by Gu Chen's imminent step, a peerless sword qi streaked in from afar, aimed directly at Gu Chen.

Where the sword qi passed, it seemed even the heavens and earth were to be cleaved in two.

"The upper realm prodigy of our Vault of Sky Sword Sect has arrived!" exclaimed a warrior from one of the saint domains, face lit with surprise.
