Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1058 - 110: The Truth Revealed

Facing the combined attack of three Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights in the Union Realm and eight in the Huanxu Realm, powerful enough to shatter heaven and earth, Gu Chen, for the first time since arriving in the upper realm, gave his all and mobilized the heavenly seed within his body, transforming it into a world and augmenting himself with various powers.

At this moment, he unleashed the seventh-grade divine power, Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, and through the Heaven's Eye, he pinpointed the specific moment to connect with the heavenly and earthly energies of the Canglei Ancient Ruins, triggering the descent of thunder tribulation!

"Heavenly tribulation, descend!"

As if he held the mandate of heaven, with the falling of Gu Chen's soft utterance, instantly, the sun and moon faltered, the sky shattered, and terrifying thunder and lightning burst forth, filling the air with a fearsome heavenly might.

"This is impossible!"

The burly man's eyes went blank, his fierce face filled with disbelief; he couldn't imagine that a mere early-stage practitioner from the God Transformation Realm could actually mobilize the heavenly and earthly forces of the Canglei Ancient Ruins and bring forth the heavenly tribulation!

Heavenly tribulation falls according to strength and realm; even the burly man, though a top expert of the Earth Realm in the Union Realm, was incredibly terrified of it.

At this moment, under the magnificent heavenly might, his body involuntarily began to tremble.

The other two Union Realm members, as well as those eight from the Huanxu Realm, felt the same way.

Even because they were too close, the heavenly tribulations of everyone merged together, leaving no one to escape the punishment from the heavens!

Dense and massive leaden clouds formed overhead, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, and those flashes of lightning were terrifying, like enormous dragons roaming the crumbling sky.

"How… how could this happen?!"

The burly man and the others were no longer arrogant. In their place was sheer panic and horror.

At this moment, their bodies were trembling, the might of the heavenly tribulation pervasive; even before the thunder truly struck, they felt as if their bodies were shattering and their souls were splitting.

At that moment, the Holy Maiden of the Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, shifted her gaze toward the figure standing amidst thousands of silver radiance in the distance, appearing like a thunder god holding the power of divine punishment, his tall and upright silhouette exuding a strong sense of security.

Princess Xidie's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Chen, her flawless face filled with shock.

Gu Chen looked up, gazing at the sky, aware that even a trace of that terrifying thunder, if descended, was more than he could bear at his current stage.

The power of the seventh-grade divine power was strong; had Gu Chen's realm been higher, he could have directly killed the burly man and the other experts.

However, though the divine power was extremely potent, his cultivation was too weak to fully unleash it.

Therefore, Gu Chen had come up with this plan, using the Nine Heavens Thunder Movement to trigger the heavenly tribulation of the Canglei Ancient Ruins to kill the burly man and the others.

This was his ultimate goal.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

At that moment, with his hair fluttering, he stood there, watching the burly man and the others die.

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, and in an instant, a Huanxu Realm expert at the great completion stage turned to ashes, evaporated entirely from the world, disappearing so thoroughly that not a trace was left, as if he had never existed at all.

Even just the aftermath of the first lightning strike caused the burly man and his fellows to spew blood, their bodies charred.

"No—"

They roared, unable to believe this was real, never imagining that one day they would die at the hands of a little cultivator from the God Transformation Realm.

"Who are you, who are you really!" the burly man looked at Gu Chen with furious eyes, hysterical.

Gu Chen said nothing but stood there with a cold expression, watching them all die.

After all, his mastery of divine powers was a secret, a piece of information that could not be revealed, and only the dead can keep a secret.

"I will kill you—"

The burly man, unwilling to watch his subordinates die one after another, still wanted to make a move against Gu Chen, trying to take him down with him in his final moments.

Hum!

But the next moment, a highly covert and invisible fluctuation spread, and the burly man's body stiffened, frozen in place as even the space around him solidified.

Boom!

Immediately, a thunderbolt, as mighty as a pillar supporting the heaven, struck down, completely engulfing the burly man.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This thunderbolt seemed like a signal, and following its descent, thunder rolled and lightning flashed, with more and more thunderbolts continuously falling.

Toward the end, the ferocity of the force was so terrifying that even Gu Chen had to retreat to a distance.

The area was now completely engulfed by the heavenly tribulation, leaving nothing behind; such fearsome power would destroy everything.

"This is the real heavenly thunder," Gu Chen murmured.

With his strength continually growing, sooner or later, Gu Chen believed that Nine Heavens Thunder Movement would also reach this level.

By then, he could replace the heavens in wielding the power of divine punishment, annihilating all enemies!

Beside him, the Holy Maiden of the Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, could hardly conceal her surprise in her bright eyes; although she knew Gu Chen was extraordinary, she never expected he could achieve such a level.

In the early stages of the God Transformation Realm, to think he had mastered two seventh-grade divine powers?!

Even the Ice Emperor from the last great era, in times like these where Gu Chen stood, must have found this step difficult, right?

Moreover, for some reason, Chu Yue Ling still felt that this might not even be all of Gu Chen's capabilities.

She had thought that she already knew plenty about Gu Chen, but now it seemed she had only seen the tip of the iceberg.

At this thought, the Saintess of Taoxu Road couldn't help but gently shake her head, feeling for the first time that she had been rather one-sided.

"Xidie, what's wrong?"

At that moment, Chu Yue Ling's bright eyes moved, noticing Princess Xidie standing nearby in a somewhat odd state, staring intently at Gu Chen.

However, Princess Xidie seemed as if she hadn't heard her at all, still standing there, her spiritual eyes fixed on Gu Chen from beginning to end.

Seeing this, the Saintess of Taoxu Road's eyebrows lightly furrowed; sharp as she was, she vaguely sensed something.

"It was you, you saved me that day, didn't you?!"

After a long moment, Princess Xidie's expression recovered, and she suddenly became extremely excited. She approached Gu Chen closely, almost pressing up against him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he stepped back a couple of steps, putting some distance between himself and Princess Xidie once again.

"You don't need to think about deceiving me. I remember your aura!" Princess Xidie's cheeks flushed with a rosy glow, her entire demeanor stunningly beautiful; her spiritual eyes glimmered brightly as she looked at Gu Chen, as if they were glowing.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh softly. He hadn't expected Princess Xidie to be so perceptive. Even in that state back then, she had retained a sense of awareness and clearly remembered his aura.

Just now, as he had fully employed his divine power, he couldn't hide it and was finally noticed by her.

"Why don't you want to admit it? Do you have any concerns?" Princess Xidie kept on questioning, her delicate body inching closer to Gu Chen.

Meanwhile, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, observing this scene, slightly furrowed her brows and instantly understood the bond between the two, realizing everything.

Gu Chen, seeing Princess Xidie continually questioning, felt helpless, not knowing how to begin explaining to her.

"I understand now!"

At that moment, with a twinkle in her vibrant eyes, Princess Xidie looked at Gu Chen and said with a coy smile, "When you saved me back then, your cultivation was only at the Cave Heaven Realm, not as powerful as you are now."

"So, that means… you mastered the power of divine arts while you were in the Cave Heaven Realm?!"

Upon realizing this fact and speaking it aloud, even Princess Xidie herself was astonished, her lips parted slightly and her face somewhat blank.

The next moment, seeming to realize her gaffe, she hastily covered her lips with her hand, not wanting Gu Chen to see her ungraceful expression, as her cheeks flushed once again.

Mastery of divine arts in the God Transformation Realm is considered a myth. Throughout endless years and many epochs, only the supreme beings of the last great era, leaders of thousands of realms like the Ice Emperor, had achieved it.

But now, the man before her had mastered divine arts in the Cave Heaven Realm, turning the impossible into possible.

Could it be that Gu Chen possessed even greater talent than the Ice Emperor?!

The more Princess Xidie thought about it, the more shocked she felt. Her eyes grew wider and wider, unable to hide her astonishment.

Gu Chen, seeing her continued conjectures, which might even lead her to discover that he had mastered divine arts in the Earth realm, knew that things would really become serious then.

Even the Saintess of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, who knew quite a lot about Gu Chen, dared not think along these lines. Mastering divine arts in the realm of martial arts was beyond mythical.

Searching through ancient and modern times, examining the epochs, there seemed to be no creature capable of achieving this feat.

Even legendary beings called celestial spirits, like true dragons and phoenixes, were no exception!

If this news were discovered, it wouldn't just be astonishing but would shock people to death, sparking an endless storm that would sweep across the entire upper three thousand six hundred realms, and Gu Chen would face a tremendous crisis.

Therefore, to prevent Princess Xidie from further conjecture, Gu Chen quickly spoke, "Princess, you are mistaken. I admit, it was indeed I who intervened to save you that day, but I truly had not mastered any divine arts then; it was just a life-saving technique left to me by my master."

"Really?" Princess Xidie's eyebrows knotted, her expressive eyes assessing Gu Chen, clearly doubtful.

"Of course, it's true." Gu Chen said helplessly, "Mastering divine arts in the Cave Heaven Realm is something not even the great Ice Emperor of the last era achieved. How could I, a little-known junior cultivator, have such capability?"

"Hm," Princess Xidie's eyes shifted about thoughtfully, her thin eyelashes fluttering. After pondering for a while, she nodded, feeling there was some logic in Gu Chen's words.

As the tenth princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, she was quite aware of the Ice Emperor's strength.

Moreover, she understood the difficulty of mastering divine arts; in the God Transformation Realm, condensing the soul essence, possessing spiritual consciousness that could probe heaven and earth, following the origins. Only the most demonic among them might have a slight hope of sensing the ultimate truths of the universe, thereby successfully mastering divine arts.

To achieve this was already extremely difficult; the fact that only the Ice Emperor managed it shows its enormity.

To surpass the Ice Emperor's record and create a myth by mastering divine arts in the Cave Heaven Realm was absolutely impossible.

"Then tell me, who are you really?" Princess Xidie's sparkling eyes met Gu Chen's, her flawless face shimmering attractively, looking irresistibly beautiful.

At this moment, under Princess Xidie's persistent prodding, the distance between the two was very close, so much so that they were almost touching.

Gu Chen could even smell the fragrance emanating from Princess Xidie, a scent uniquely hers.

Their vivid eyes were so close that Gu Chen felt slightly uneasy and he instinctively stepped back.

But unexpectedly, Princess Xidie leaned in again, coming almost close enough to press against Gu Chen.

The Saintess of Taoxu Road in white, Chu Yue Ling, stood nearby, her expression stoic as she watched the scene unfold.

"Tell me, who are you really!" Princess Xidie's voice was charming as she pressed Gu Chen for his origins, her beautiful eyes lively and close.
