Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1062 - 113: The Great Earthquake of the East Profound Region

```

The Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, immensely powerful, would pose a risk of perishing even to the greatest talents of the ancient times, during the peak of cultivation, from all the worlds among the heavens.

But to attract the descent of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation also proved Gu Chen's potential.

After enduring sixty-seven bolts of heavenly thunder, even Gu Chen was pushed to his limits, his skin split, his flesh torn, and he couldn't stop coughing up blood.

Princess Xidie, seeing this, became increasingly anxious.

As the final thunder neared its end, its might was unparalleled; the terrifying aura seemed almost apocalyptic, chilling spectators to the bone and causing involuntary shudders in their flesh.

At this moment, Gu Chen erupted with full force, his Immortal Sacred Body manifested, three hundred sixty-six divine spirits appeared within his acupoints, bestowing him with astonishing strength.

Divine radiance flowed, the Immortal Sacred Body shone with the light of the gods, enveloped in celestial mists, making Gu Chen look like a war god of ancient times, heroic and peerless, striking awe into the hearts of all.

The Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, was also shaken, her bright eyes wide, her peerless face showing a hint of amazement, like a celestial maiden from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world for the first time.

As for Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, an intense fascination appeared in her bright eyes as she gazed unblinkingly at Gu Chen, falling deep and unable to extricate herself.

Boom!

The heavenly thunder seemed to annihilate everything, the horrifying fluctuations spreading and covering the Six Harmonies and the Eight Desolations, nearly causing the collapse of the universe.

Thump!

But Gu Chen, fearless, his muscles covered in divine light, was surrounded by strands of celestial radiance, appearing as if he would ascend to immortality. He clenched his fists and struck upwards at the heavens.

Thud!

The earth shook as if ancient war drums were being sounded. With one punch, Gu Chen shattered the supremely mighty heavenly thunder – his battle power was truly terrifying!

Boom boom boom! In the last moments, bolt after bolt of heavenly thunder descended relentlessly, as if refusing to allow any respite. Moreover, each bolt was intertwined with various hues, indicating thunder of vibrant colors, with power several times greater.

"The ultimate test has arrived," said Chu Yue Ling, the Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, her voice deep. She clenched her jade hand gently, watching every move Gu Chen made.

As for Princess Xidie, it goes without saying; her eyes seemed almost embedded in Gu Chen's very being.

Rumble!

Then, in the final moment, the remaining nine bolts of heavenly thunder descended simultaneously, each with traces of purple, exuding a grand and vast presence.

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder!" Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling's features tightened.

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder, one of the top few types of thunder power, is surpassed by not many in the ranks of thunder.

Even saints faced with the Purple Sky Divine Thunder would suffer heavy injuries or death, let alone Gu Chen at the God Transformation Realm.

Of course, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder facing Gu Chen was naturally not as terrifying, but it was definitely not to be underestimated.

This was the horror of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; the final test was one of the thunder powers that could cause a saint to perish, enough to terrify anyone.

Yet, at the next moment, an unexpected scene unfolded before the eyes of both the Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling and Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

The nine bolts of Purple Sky Divine Thunder, just as they were about to touch the space above Gu Chen's head, were suddenly immobilized, frozen in mid-air.

"What is this…" Princess Xidie exclaimed in shock, finding it utterly unbelievable.

But the Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling, indeed extraordinary, discerned the origin, her bright eyes blinking, she kept scrutinizing around Gu Chen constantly.

At that moment, the radiant light of the Immortal Sacred Body was intense, celestial mists dotted around, and auspicious light spread like a divine disc at Gu Chen's side, it was because of this that the nine bolts of Purple Sky Divine Thunder were immobilized.

The Immortal Sacred Body, transcendent and extraordinary, invulnerable to all laws, could protect Gu Chen forever from falling during tribulation, even immobilizing the spacetime of heaven and earth, of all worlds!

This was the power of the Immortal Sacred Body, which even the Ice Emperor from the previous era would have admired had he seen it.

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder might be extraordinary, but it still couldn't achieve the extent of destroying a saint. Before the Immortal Sacred Body, it had only one outcome – to be obliterated.

When the last of the nine heavenly thunders was also overcome, this round of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation finally came to an end, and the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate gradually.

Seeing that he had successfully transcended the tribulation, even Gu Chen couldn't help but exhale gently – more exhausting than battling with those formidable beings.

"He did it, he succeeded!" Seeing Gu Chen had finished the tribulation, Princess Xidie immediately burst into joy, cheering and leaping with delight on the spot.

A smile couldn't help but surface deep within the eyes of Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling as well.

Gu Chen stood in silence, unmoving, not taking immediate action, as he was silently contemplating his own body.

Although heavenly tribulation was terrifying, it wasn't without benefits. After enduring that force, both Gu Chen's physical body and the magical power within him were like having received a baptism.

As the Immortal Sacred Body's power manifested, those wounds on his body rapidly healed, and Gu Chen's aura was gradually climbing.

"If I were to undergo tribulation often, perhaps my physical body could advance even further in no time," Gu Chen opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

If anyone else heard this idea, they would surely think he had gone mad from being struck by lightning.

The terror of heavenly tribulation is well known to all, avoided by everyone, and it was unheard of for someone to actually seek it out.

"Brother Gu is indeed extraordinary, but the circumstances of heaven and earth have changed greatly from before. If it were ages ago, after enduring the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the heavens would bestow immense fortunes to reward beings who have succeeded in transcending it," Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling observed, as she, accompanied by Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, approached Gu Chen now that his tribulation had ended.

"How are you doing, really? Are you alright, with no hidden injuries?" Princess Xidie, her bright eyes blinking, asked incessantly.

"Not to worry, Your Highness," Gu Chen replied.

```

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Chu Yue Ling, asking, "Miss Chu means to say that in ancient times, beings who successfully transcended tribulation would also receive rewards?"

"Indeed," Chu Yue Ling nodded lightly, saying, "The cultivation environment back then was different from now, as the overall surroundings are always changing with the passage of time. In eras long past, cultivators facing tribulations was common, and despite its cruelty, if one succeeded, they could receive heavenly rewards and attain a higher level of being."

Gu Chen nodded in agreement, feeling a hint of regret at the same time.

Chu Yue Ling felt the same; after all, Gu Chen had transcended the most difficult Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and the rewards he received were definitely astonishingly immense.

Princess Xidie did not concern herself with these matters but was still worried about Gu Chen's condition and said, "Are you really alright? I have divine medicines here, you should take some to recuperate first."

With these words, she flipped her palm, revealing a jade bottle containing drops of dazzling spiritual liquid. Even though separated by the corresponding vessel, the pulsation was still very clearly transmitted.

Gu Chen was surprised; he had not expected Princess Xidie to produce such an item and was moved, but he politely declined her kind offer.

Because indeed, he was fine, just a little more depleted than usual; he needed only a bit of time to recover.

Moreover, he had the healing capabilities of the Nine Thousand Years Old and Heavenly Origin Liquid. Unless the injuries were particularly severe, there was generally no cause for concern.

"I'll escort you both out of here first," said Gu Chen to the two women.

Through this experience, he had also recognized the terrifying nature of the Canglei Ancient Ruins, no wonder stronger cultivators were reluctant to come here.

"Where are you going?" Princess Xidie quickly picked up on the underlying meaning in Gu Chen's words.

Gu Chen said, "The demons from the Evil King Mountain in the Forbidden Zone of Beings have come here to wreak havoc. Right now, there must still be many students under threat, unable to escape to safety. As a member of Qingyun Academy, I still have some strength left and would like to search the surroundings."

His righteous manner made Princess Xidie eye him suspiciously.

Even the saintly girl of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, gave Gu Chen an extra glance, clearly surprised by his words.

"Do you really have such good intentions?" Princess Xidie, having dropped her formality, mumbled quietly in an adorable and cheeky manner, clearly disbelieving.

Gu Chen remained silent, for there wasn't much he could say. The demons were related to the level of his divine powers, and with such an opportunity, he certainly could not miss out.

So, after quickly sending the two women away from the Canglei Ancient Ruins to a safe place, Gu Chen hurriedly returned.

In fact, just as he suspected, there were many students from Qingyun Academy who had not yet escaped the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

Among them was Yan Qi, a prodigy of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan.

Not long ago, he had severed his arm to narrowly escape death, but now he was once again on the brink of a dire situation.

Three Earth-level demons of the God Transformation Realm had surrounded him, and Yan Qi, now deathly pale, was at his limit.

"I will not accept this—" he roared in fury, grinding his teeth at the prospect of perishing here.

Whoosh!

Just at that moment, as if the heavens had heard his call, a figure in mysterious garments suddenly appeared, spreading an intangible influence that froze space. The tips of his fingers crackled with electric light, and the three demons were instantly slain.

"You…"

At that moment, Yan Qi was stunned, having not expected a savior to actually descend from the sky and rescue him.

His expression was complex, for the person who saved him was none other than Gu Chen.

"I just did what was convenient; there's no need for overthought," Gu Chen said.

Then he vanished in a flash, moving on to the next location.

Thus, with astonishing speed and the use of his heavenly eye, Gu Chen easily hunted down one demon after another.

Meanwhile, many students from Qingyun Academy were saved by him and were profoundly grateful.

The sensation of having survived a calamity is truly indescribable; Gu Chen was like a beam of light in their darkness, the last glimmer of hope in their despair.

But Gu Chen didn't take it to heart, for though he spoke such words, his actual purpose was simply to accumulate Divine Power value.

Saving Yan Qi and others was truly just a convenience.

Not just Yan Qi, prodigies from the Hou Clan, Azure Luan Clan, and even Wang Yuan from the Zifu School, Luo Jiang from the Mount Luo, were all saved by Gu Chen.

Seeing that it was Gu Chen who saved them, their expressions became complicated. They wanted to express their thanks, but the words were somehow difficult to utter at the moment.

And as time passed, the news of this place spread throughout the East Profound Region, or rather, the emergence of Evil King Mountain in the Forbidden Zone of Beings. Not only did the inhabitants of the Canglei Ancient Ruins suffer, but many other areas across the entire region were similarly affected.

Countless beings perished, rivers of blood flowed in many places, and numerous Da Sects were wiped out, with many states slaughtered to extinction.

In a single day, the East Profound Region was awash with blood, and the air throughout the land was tinged with a faint scent of blood.

Cries, howls, and pleas for help reverberated across the East Profound Region.

A vast number of demons roamed and caused carnage in various parts of the East Profound Region, resulting in a massive upheaval throughout the land.

Not to mention, within the Canglei Ancient Ruins itself, the tragic deaths of so many outstanding beings were too much for the great forces to bear.

On that day, from Qingyun Academy, an earth-shaking anomaly arose.

With a thunderous roar, the earth trembled, the void shattered, and an immensely towering figure appeared, standing tall and filling the heavens.

The moment this figure appeared, all living things bowed down as he became the center of everything, the one and only in the wilds of creation.

This figure was the headmaster of Qingyun Academy, a supreme being who had survived from the last epoch to the present—he was about to take action!
