Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1090 - 130: Bai Yu's Humiliation

The Sacred Melody Realm was one of the most important treasures of Qingyun Academy, originating from the last great era of Azure Cloud Sky, containing various opportunities and treasures within.

Of course, the most important was naturally the so-called innate divine object—the Seven-Colored Lotus Platform, which was also the primary goal of Gu Chen and others.

Besides, there was a great possibility that the Sacred Melody Realm contained millennium-old sacred herbs, coveted even by Great Powers and Saint Lords, which could not only extend their lives but also increase their power.

If the Seven-Colored Lotus Platform and the millennium-old sacred herb were obtained by Gu Chen, it would inevitably lead to a second reshaping of his physical body, and his spirit and cultivation would also see a significant enhancement.

For this reason, when Gu Chen learned that the Sacred Melody Realm was opening, even he was tempted.

Because he had already felt how difficult it was to undergo a second physical reshaping after experiencing one.

The enhancement of the spirit was the same.

One either needed to acquire a large amount of merit points or needed the help of various strange treasures.

"The reason why it's called the Sacred Melody Realm is that this place has been inhabited for a long time by those who have attained sainthood and ancestral status, leaving behind their own traces, the sacred melody, that's what it means."

"Among them, some areas are the enlightenment grounds of the mightiest powerhouses. If one has high perceptiveness or deep fortune, one might even obtain a move or two left behind by these powerhouses," said the Great Power leading Gu Chen and the others to the Sacred Melody Realm, revealing various mysteries of the place.

"There won't be any terrifying beasts there, right?" A student from the Cave Heaven Realm asked worriedly.

The Sacred Melody Realm was a secluded place of mighty beings; if there were ferocious beasts, absorbing the sacred melody for so many years, who knew to what extent they had reached, they would definitely be beyond their capability to handle.

The Great Power explaining to Gu Chen and the others glanced at the student, shook his head, and said, "The academy would naturally not act in a way that sends you to your deaths. The Sacred Melody Realm contains only opportunities and transformations."

"That's good to hear."

Upon hearing this, many people felt immediately relieved. As long as there was no threat to their lives, it was acceptable.

The so-called Sacred Melody Realm was a small world created by the mightiest beings. After several Great Powers led Gu Chen and others near, they formed a seal with their hands and pointed, and the restrictions of that small world immediately dissipated.

Whoosh—

Accompanied by bright brilliant light spreading all around, whiffs of aura transmitted, and everyone felt completely at ease; it seemed as if they were about to transform and ascend.

The multi-colored light surged, and as the restrictions were lifted, the small world became even more dazzling than the sun, emitting various colors that were extremely brilliant to behold.

"Is this the so-called Sacred Melody Realm?" everyone marveled.

In the next moment, as the Great Powers used their magical powers, suddenly, a flicker of light and shadow, Gu Chen and others disappeared, all having entered that small world.

"What do you think, who will come out on top this time? Or should I say, who does the dean favor more?" one of the Great Powers asked.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's Yun Zishu from the ancient spiritual family of the Cloud Clan. You all have seen his level of cultivation; the others simply cannot compare. The Seven-Colored Lotus Platform can only be his, and after this battle, his strength will progress even further."

"Indeed."

Upon hearing this, several Great Powers nodded as well. With their discerning eyes, they could naturally see the gap between Yun Zishu and the others, such as Bai Yu.

"We've done what we need to do; now, let's watch this young generation battle it out, and the dean's decision as well."

...

The Sacred Melody Realm of Qingyun Academy only opened once every ten thousand years. In each generation, only the most extraordinary talents, who were about to participate in the supremacy battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes in the upper realm, were qualified to enter.

This time, the dean of Qingyun Academy had changed the rules, allowing all students a chance to witness the true essence of the Sacred Melody Realm.

With a quick flash of light and shadow, Gu Chen and others were sent into this small world by the Great Powers of Qingyun Academy.

"I feel like I'm about to ascend!"

In the Sacred Melody Realm, light was pervasive, birds sang and flowers fragranced, and the spiritual energy was so thick that it swirled around like clouds around everyone.

Here, every breath involved an intensely rich influx of spiritual energy into the body, cleansing the disciple's body and even the internal organs; it seemed like every pore in their bodies was glowing.

That feeling truly seemed like one was about to transform and ascend.

Also, the laws of heaven and earth here were exceedingly clear, with various forces surging, making it quite easy for one to have all sorts of insights.

Many students, upon arriving, immediately began meditating in earnest, their breath surging, and were already on the verge of a breakthrough.

Gu Chen stood amidst the crowd. Possessing the divine eye, he naturally found it easier to see through the secrets of this place.

"This truly is a treasure trove." Gu Chen's face showed a rare expression. Here, not to mention them, even Great Powers and Saint Lords would experience greatly enhanced cultivation speeds upon entering.

Insights into heaven and earth here were also easier compared to the upper realms.

Vibrant and multi-colored lights danced in the mid-air, the spiritual energy nearly liquefied; it was truly very spectacular.

At that moment, Princess Xidie was particularly interested in this scene, as she loved beautiful things.

"Gu Bai!"

However, just then, a cold and stern voice sounded, startling those immersed in the beauty of the Sacred Melody Realm.

They looked toward the source and saw it was the unparalleled prodigy Bai Yu of the Tian Yu Clan, currently looking coldly at Gu Chen.

"Is their conflict finally going to erupt?!" Seeing this, everyone's hearts shuddered.

Gu Chen and Bai Yu's feud was well known to them; it started back when they first entered the Canglei Ancient Ruins, and there had been constant friction ever since. Originally, everyone thought it would be resolved quickly, but it had dragged on until now.

"Everyone says that Gu Bai's strength is extraordinary, comparable to Bai Yu and Tang Yu among the five great deviants, second only within the academy only to the strongest prodigy, Yun Zishu. What do you all think?" As people saw this, they began to communicate through passed whispers.

"At the Canglei Ancient Ruins, Gu Bai had once suppressed Bai Yu, partly because the latter underestimated his opponent, but it also sufficiently demonstrated his strength. Now that they are facing each other again, I still favor Gu Bai."

"On the contrary, I favor Bai Yu. You also said that when they fought before, Gu Bai was not well-known, and it was Bai Yu's carelessness. But now it's different, I think Gu Bai will be suppressed by Bai Yu and even be defeated miserably."

Regarding the outcome of this battle between the two, many people had secretly started discussing it.

Even Yun Zishu was somewhat moved as he watched Gu Chen. Through their interactions during this period, he had also discovered the other's extraordinariness and wanted to see exactly how strong he was.

Misty Palace's Tang Yu, Hao Tian Sect's Su Yiqing, Wonderful Law Hall's Qu Ping, and the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan's Shi Yao all watched this scene intently.

Before entering, Bai Yu had told them that he wanted to settle his grudges with Gu Chen first, to vent the resentment in his heart, so that when facing Yun Zishu, he could go all out.

Tang Yu and the others naturally would not refuse and also, everyone present was extremely curious about just how strong Gu Chen really was.

"Bai Yu fighting him should reveal his capabilities," said Tang Yu of Misty Palace.

"Finding out his depth? I think Bai Yu might lose!" Shi Yao of the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan said unexpectedly.

Hao Tian Sect's Su Yiqing and Wonderful Law Hall's Qu Ping both frowned, with the latter stating, "This Gu Bai, although extraordinary, shouldn't be stronger than Bai Yu. Dark horses exist, but this would be too much."

Hao Tian Sect's Su Yiqing nodded, saying, "Bai Yu cannot lose. If he does, with one less person, our chances against Yun Zishu will be even slimmer."

"Exactly, no matter what, Bai Yu cannot lose!" Qu Ping said gravely.

Shi Yao from the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan glanced at the two, saying nothing.

"Gu Bai, you are ruthless, nearly killing my brother on the spot. As a fellow student of Qingyun Academy, your heart is truly dark. Today, I will make you pay the price!"

Bai Yu called out coldly, stepping forward. His pure white wings radiantly holy, made him appear as if a celestial envoy sent to oversee the mortal world, lofty and sublime.

His hair and eyes dark, his body untouched by dust, he indeed seemed unapproachable, while his figure robust and his vitality surging, he stood there, overlooking Gu Chen.

The miserable state of Bai Fei later became known to everyone, they had all privately clicked their tongues, remarking that Gu Chen's methods were indeed harsh enough.

He refrained from taking action, but once he did, he literally tore off Bai Fei's wings, what kind of pain must that have been?

At this thought, many couldn't help but shiver.

Gu Chen saw Bai Yu advancing towards him with great momentum, yet remained as calm as ever, as placid as an ancient well, without a ripple.

At that moment, his gaze slightly shifted, looking deeply at Bai Yu, he said, "Are you also seeking to humiliate yourself?"

"Seeking to humiliate?"

Bai Yu snorted coldly, saying, "Are you talking about yourself? From the beginning to the end, you have been deliberately shrouded in mystery, making everyone think your strength is immeasurable, always holding back your full power. You think I don't know what tricks you're playing! Today, I will strip away your false facade, letting everyone see just how weak you truly are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu hesitated no longer. What he wanted was to defeat Gu Chen in front of everyone, then humiliate him at will, in order to shatter his spirit.

From the Canglei Ancient Ruins to now, Bai Yu had never imagined that a nobody could withstand him for so long, even seriously injuring his own brother.

"Sky Feather Transmutation Sword!"

Bai Yu shouted loudly, his pristine wings flapping, thousands of feather swords burst forth, then gathered in mid-air into a giant sword, which he grasped in his hand.

"With one move, I'll cut you down!"

At this moment, Bai Yu's gaze was stern, his face cold, his aura fierce. Holding the large feather sword, his wings flapping behind him, he stood in mid-air like an angel sent to judge the sins of the world.

Shh!

Bai Yu swung the giant sword, the blade gleaming brightly, almost splitting heaven and earth, leaving a huge white trace in the void, its sharp aura overflowing, forming several small storms, along with the blade light, sweeping towards Gu Chen.

"Trivial tricks."

Gu Chen remained incredibly calm, never really considering Bai Yu a threat, facing the latter's full-force strike, his response was merely a simple and unadorned fist.

"Roar!"

As the true dragon roared, almost shattering the void, Gu Chen's punch was majestic, his muscles flawless like white jade, as if crafted from the finest jade stone, its body shimmering with a crystalline luster, he simply threw out a punch.

Boom!

In an instant, thousands of feathers exploded, under everyone's incredulous gazes, Gu Chen's punch, accompanied by the roaring sound of the true dragon, directly shattered everything in front of him.

What so-called strongest monster of the Tian Yu Clan, what undefeated across the Eight Realms, in front of Gu Chen's punch, all were insignificant!

By now, Gu Chen's physical strength was comparable to a spiritual treasure, coupled with the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret, Bai Yu's techniques, however extraordinary, were simply incapable of blocking it.

"Pfff!"

Under the force of that punch, the previously invincible Bai Yu suddenly spat blood, his body flying far backwards.

"Is this?!"

Such a scene evidently surprised everyone present, Tang Yu and the others changed color, even the most powerful Yun Zishu couldn't help but turn grave.

Gu Chen's punch had truly shocked everyone there!

And in response to Bai Yu's earlier words, Gu Chen had only four words.

"Seeking to humiliate yourself!"
