Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1102 - 137: The Dao Gold List Appears, The Upper Realm Trembles

The deepest part of the Sacred Rhythm Place was where the spiritual essence liquefied, diffusing like colorful ribbons, with vibrant colors spreading everywhere, making the place dazzlingly beautiful.

Further away was a gigantic lake with rippling water, glinting and glimmering, faintly emitting a seven-colored radiance, incredibly clear and bright.

Gu Chen and Yun Zishu gathered at this place, ready to duel. The surrounding spectators instantly became tense and filled with anticipation.

After all, such a rare battle could not be seen just by wanting to see it.

At the same time, everyone was extremely curious about just how strong Gu Chen's true strength was and to what extent he had reached.

Could he defeat the famous Yun Zishu from the Dao Gold List?

Now, not long after, the answer would soon be unveiled.

With this thought, everyone couldn't help but become agitated, even their breathing unconsciously slowed down, afraid of disturbing the two.

Meanwhile, Princess Xidie, who stood by Gu Chen's side, also led the three people of Zhen Yuan away, leaving no one to disturb them and giving Gu Chen and Yun Zishu a large open space.

Although she knew Gu Chen was exceptional in strength, Princess Xidie couldn't help but feel a little worried as the duel approached, watching Gu Chen with some nervousness.

As the crowd left, Yun Zishu fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, his face becoming more and more serious, and his aura growing stronger by the moment.

Seeing this, Gu Chen remained extremely calm, his eyes unfathomably deep and undisturbed, without a ripple.

He wore a black robe, his figure tall and lean, with loose black hair, an ethereal aura about him, standing there like an exiled immortal.

Yun Zishu, seeing Gu Chen still as a mountain and without any flaws, found his gaze growing increasingly intense.

He knew that Gu Chen's strength might be even higher than he had anticipated.

However, this didn't affect Yun Zishu; on the contrary, it made his fighting spirit soar even higher.

Seeing that Gu Chen showed no intention of taking the initiative to strike, Yun Zishu said in a deep voice, "Brother Gu, I am about to make a move, please be careful."

"Please," Gu Chen nodded, showing no contempt towards Yun Zishu.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Yun Zishu's figure flashed, moving with extreme speed to close the distance with Gu Chen, engaging in close-quarters combat.

He struck with his palm without any magical power fluctuation; all that was present was a surging vitality like the flow of rivers, while his life essence rose like signal smoke from above his head.

"Such incredible physical strength!"

"To have such a powerful body in the God Transformation Realm, I feel that just with his physical strength, Brother Yun could fight against a master of the Huanxu Realm!"

The astonished spectators realized then that during Yun Zishu's previous battle with the Red Gold Divine Eagle clansman Jin Yang, neither had indeed used their full strength.

Of course, after some time had passed, Yun Zishu's strength had also increased significantly since then.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal resounded as Gu Chen calmly blocked Yun Zishu's palm strike, capable of pulverizing mountains, with a simple raise of his arm.

"As expected!"

Seeing this scene, the audience was shocked, realizing that Gu Chen indeed had the power to contend with Yun Zishu.

Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and other prodigies turned pale, understanding that they wouldn't be able to withstand even the first probing strike of the duel between the two, and it would result in their immediate defeat with blood pouring from their mouths.

Yun Zishu's face turned stern as he felt pain in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but inwardly exclaim, "Can the rebound force alone reach this level?"

Clang!

Seeing his first strike fail, Yun Zishu exerted his full strength for a second blow, but it was still effortlessly blocked by Gu Chen.

However, Yun Zishu didn't cease his offense; instead, each strike was heavier than the last, and his speed continued increasing. Eventually, all the spectators could see was a blur of light and shadow; they couldn't make out Yun Zishu's actual form.

Dazzling and spectacular!

Those eight words best described Yun Zishu's onslaught.

"Can Gu Bai withstand such a fierce assault?" Many people couldn't help but rise with such a question in their hearts upon witnessing the scene.

Light and shadow flickered throughout the sky, all of them reflections of Yun Zishu's afterimages, causing the world to tremble and ripples to appear in the void as if mere physical power could break the heavens and earth.

"Thousand Cloud Slash!"

From a distance, Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty spoke solemnly, uttering these three words.

Thousand Cloud Slash was a top-tier physical technique from the ancient Ling Family of the Cloud House, extremely outstanding. Once used, it seemed to create thousands of oneself, launching attacks simultaneously. If the gap between their realms wasn't wide, it was exceedingly difficult to resist.

Having executed this move, Yun Zishu felt confident, but after launching the top-tier physical technique, he was stunned.

Gu Chen stood in place, not moving at all, merely swaying his arms with minimal movements, blocking all of Yun Zishu's attacks.

This spectacle made Yun Zishu feel both shocked and powerless.

Actually, Gu Chen didn't have any ill feelings or hostility towards Yun Zishu, so he didn't take the initiative to strike and allowed him to do as he pleased.

At the same time, he wanted to see how Yun Zishu's utmost effort could force him to reveal some of his own strength.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Yun Zishu transformed into a residual image, retreating in a flash to a spot not far away, facing Gu Chen once again.

"Unharmed?!"

As Yun Zishu stepped back, the crowd also saw Gu Chen's condition, his clothing without a single tear, standing there with composure, his expression calm from beginning to end.
