Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1067 - 116: Divine Power 6th Grade, Academy Shaken

The incident at the Restricted Area for Living Beings concluded, and with the intervention of the strongest beings, it swept across the world like a storm, with astonishing speed.

Just the East Profound Region alone was not enough; the matter involved the Great Powers to a great extent, who hold extremely high status in the upper realms. Once individuals of this level took action, most of the upper realms would become aware, setting off violently intense ripples.

Moreover, the reverberations that shook the entire region could not be hidden and would be sensed by others of the same level.

Not to mention, the appearance of the Taoxu Road leader himself, an entity standing at the very pinnacle of the upper realms, was also extremely startling news.

As a result, the entire upper realms were greatly shaken for a time, particularly by the display of strength from the headmaster of Qingyun Academy during this battle, which alarmed many of the Great Powers.

The Evil King was an exceedingly powerful celestial demon, deserving of the title "King", ruling over the Restricted Area for Living Beings. Typically, each disturbance at the Evil King Mountain could only be suppressed by the personal intervention of the Taoxu Road leader.

Yet unexpectedly, this time, the headmaster of Qingyun Academy seemed to be on par with the Evil King. Although the two had exchanged only one move, the news was enough for the Great Powers who heard it to discern the implications, causing significant unrest in their hearts.

However, these matters, were not for outsiders to discuss; only the Great Powers themselves knew.

Simultaneously, on another front, as the battle of the Great Powers drew to a close, Gu Chen's actions within the Canglei Ancient Ruins of the East Profound Region also came to an end.

Many demons, as if having received some message, fled the Canglei Ancient Ruins at top speed and retreated back to the Evil King Mountain.

Many other demons were slain by Gu Chen, contributing to his Divine Power value.

Moreover, following this battle, Gu Chen rescued quite a few students from Qingyun Academy as well.

"It's over." Some time later, Gu Chen scanned the Canglei Ancient Ruins with his heavenly eyes, covering only the peripheral areas. The deeper regions, filled with the power of thunder, were beyond the reach of his Level 7 heavenly eyes.

"Nine strands of Xuanhuang mother essence and so many Divine Power values. It wasn't a waste to come to Canglei Ancient Ruins," Gu Chen murmured, quite satisfied with his gains this time.

Immediately, his figure flashed, quick as lightning, seeming to merge into the void and quickly left the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

Once out of the Canglei Ancient Ruins, he first found the hidden Taoxu Road Saintess, Chu Yue Ling, and Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. From them, he learned that the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights had been completely annihilated except for their great leader.

And that great leader had also been severely injured by the combined forces of Qingyun Academy and the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, barely escaping with his life after a desperate and bloody struggle.

It can be said that this time, the notoriously infamous Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights in the East Profound Region were thoroughly destroyed.

"You killed several of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights' commanding officers, and their tokens are in your possession. With these, you can claim substantial rewards from many forces within the East Profound Region; this too is a considerable fortune," said Taoxu Road Saintess, Chu Yue Ling.

Having recovered over this period, her complexion had noticeably improved and no longer appeared as pale and bloodless as before.

"Let's not. " Gu Chen shook his head, and handed over all the tokens he held, including the one he obtained when he first arrived in the East Profound Region and rescued Princess Xidie, to Taoxu Road Saintess Chu Yue Ling.

"This reward, you can claim it, Miss Chu," Gu Chen said.

Taoxu Road Saintess Chu Yue Ling, extremely astute, and having come to a deeper understanding with each other through this event, nodded lightly, acknowledging Gu Chen's concerns.

After all, he was alone and unsupported in the upper realm. Although the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights were now destroyed, it was clear that a colossal force backed them, or else these people wouldn't have remained untouchable until now.

"After claiming the rewards, I will give them all to you," said Chu Yue Ling.

Hearing this, Gu Chen was inclined to refuse, considering it was Chu Yue Ling who had truly struck down the main force of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights. But remembering her origins from the immortal Taoxu Road, with even holy weapons at her disposal, he acknowledged she wouldn't lack such things. Moreover, she intended to give them to him to prevent excessive politeness; thus, Gu Chen agreed.

"In that case, that would be troubling Miss Chu." Gu Chen bowed in thanks.

"There's no need," Taoxu Road Saintess Chu Yue Ling gently shook her head.

At this moment, the flawless-faced Princess Xidie came forward to inform Gu Chen of the recent happenings where the Great Powers had intervened, culminating in the conclusion of the Restricted Area for Living Beings incident.

After all, this incident had far-reaching implications, and many regions knew instantly, not to mention that the vibrations that had spread throughout the entire East Profound Region were impossible to conceal. Everyone in the world felt it.

"As expected." Gu Chen responded. Even though he had anticipated this, he couldn't help but be surprised. "The Evil King?" For the first time, Gu Chen understood who exactly was the top-ranked demon of the East Profound Region, the controller of the Restricted Area for Living Beings.

And when he learned that initially, the headmaster had alone invaded the Evil King Mountain, almost turning it upside down, his astonishment grew even further.

"No wonder, it is said that there has long been deep-seated enmity between the Restricted Area for Living Beings and Qingyun Academy. The headmaster's actions seem indeed to stem from deep-seated hatred towards demons," Gu Chen said.
