Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1155 - 167: God Transformation Realm Great Perfection

Gu Chen's expression was indifferent as he threw a punch, causing the head of Ye Meng, the number one freak of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, to explode on the spot, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere.

Even his primordial spirit was similarly slain by Gu Chen in one strike, dead through and through.

As for the azure-gold dagger, it naturally did not escape his notice and was pocketed by him without any surprise.

"Ye Meng... dead?!"

At this moment, Liu Qi and the others were all dumbfounded, never anticipating that Gu Chen would actually dare to make such a deadly move.

"How could he dare... Doesn't he fear the retaliation of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan?!" They all thought one after another.

Meanwhile, a group of people, particularly those aligned with the second prince, as well as Liu Qi, were all shivering, fearing that Gu Chen might whimsically decide to slay them as well.

Especially Liu Qi, who was well aware that he hadn't refrained from speaking ill of Gu Chen to Yun Zishu and had looked down on him considerably.

Therefore, Liu Qi could only pray in his heart that Gu Chen had not heard about this and would not pay any attention to him.

"Brother Gu... sigh!"

Yun Zishu started to speak, but he hesitated and in the end, the myriad of words he had condensed into a single soft sigh.

The man was already dead; anything said at this point would be too late.

"Brother Gu, rest assured, you killed Ye Meng for me. Once we leave the ancestral land, if the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan seeks answers, my Yun family will not stand idly by!" Yun Zishu said solemnly.

Gu Chen's eyes slightly moved as he glanced at Yun Zishu. He actually didn't care, having his own means to escape.

"Let's go, Brother Yun, let's go get the starleaf vine," said Gu Chen.

Killing Ye Meng was just an interlude; if he hadn't been so ruthless to Yun Zishu, and so arrogant, Gu Chen wouldn't have used so many methods against him.

Now that he had brutally killed Ye Meng, Gu Chen's clothes were unstained by blood. Not a single corner of his garment was torn—it was as though he had never entered into battle, exuding an air of calmness and tidiness.

Having witnessed this, Yun Zishu realized only now that everything the man had said before was true.

This kind of strength could indeed be said to be world-shaking!

Because, if Gu Chen had won a hard-fought battle against Ye Meng, that would have been one thing, but the fight between the two was a completely one-sided slaughter!

Ye Meng had no power to fight back at all, which was truly terrifying—it indicated that Gu Chen's strength was far more than just a notch above Ye Meng's!

"Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan and Lu Xin of the Seven Stars Sect, can they be Gu Bai's match?" At this moment, Liu Qi and the others couldn't help but subconsciously think this.

But the answer was… they didn't know.

Also, they had now realized that Princess Xidie's judgment was extremely astute—that she had set her sights on such an outstanding figure.

It was laughable that they had previously thought Gu Chen was just a "connection-based candidate," a "pretty boy" who had charmed Princess Xidie with empty words.

Just when Gu Chen and Yun Zishu were about to ascend the mountain to acquire the starleaf vine, a man from the camp of the second prince suddenly stepped forward and said sternly, "The starleaf vine has been reserved by the second prince. If you two are sensible, please show some respect to the prince!"

Seeing this, Liu Qi and the others felt a sudden jump in their hearts, unaware that such a foolhardy person existed within their own ranks.

"One of the second prince's dead soldiers?" Gu Chen glanced at the man without much concern.

"Please halt!" This person was really stubborn. Seeing that Gu Chen and Yun Zishu hadn't paid him any attention, he actually took the initiative to step forward and block their path.

"You both must be well aware of the status and identity of the second prince, especially Young Master Yun, who previously served by the prince's side. You should know his temperament, don't you?" The man said coldly.

Hearing this, Yun Zishu's brows furrowed, and he realized that the temperament of the second prince was indeed somewhat narrow-minded and vindictive.

Boom!

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Chen waved his sleeve and the body of the man standing in front of them exploded instantly, turning into a rain of blood.

This shocking scene naturally startled many people.

Gu Chen remained calm, his steps unhesitating as he continued to walk up the mountain.

Seeing this, Yun Zishu naturally wouldn't say anything more and followed behind Gu Chen.

With Gu Chen present, other people naturally had no chance at the starleaf vine, and indeed, many were no longer even considering its existence, instead feeling extremely fortunate that they had survived in the presence of a killing god.

"The feeling of surviving a calamity is truly wonderful," someone couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Qi also had a complex expression, watching Gu Chen and Yun Zishu ascend to the mountain peak.

This time, he dared not say anything, even his gaze somewhat evasive.

Elsewhere, with the pace of Gu Chen and Yun Zishu, it took only a short while to reach the summit of the mountain.

Not far away, they could see intertwining vines with numerous leaves, all sparkling with starlight, looking somewhat dazzling, as waves of rich spiritual energy fluctuated and spread in that area.

This was the starleaf vine, which could help cultivators enhance their power and cultivation level. Even for cultivators at the great culmination of the Huanxu Realm, with the aid of the starleaf vine, there was a good chance of breaking through to the pinnacle of the Earth realm's unity state.

Ye Meng had come here because cultivation level was his weakness, and he hadn't expected to encounter Gu Chen and be effortlessly slaughtered.

Since the starleaf vine was discovered by the Yun family, without Yun Zishu, Gu Chen wouldn't have been able to come here, so he wanted to open his mouth to ask how to divide it.

But who would have thought, before Gu Chen could speak, Yun Zishu had already taken the initiative to say, "Brother Gu, the starleaf vine has a main vine and subsidiary vines. I'll be content just taking the subsidiary vines."

"How can that be?" Gu Chen frowned, not agreeing.

"Brother Gu, there's no need for further words. If it weren't for you today, I would have inevitably suffered some flesh wounds," said Yun Zishu, shaking his head with an extremely firm attitude.

Seeing this, Gu Chen could only accept the situation.

The Starleaf Vine naturally birthed its own spirit, with stars twinkling all over, ready to transform into a cage to trap Gu Chen and Yun Zishu.

However, in the face of Gu Chen's absolute strength, everything was an illusion; the Starleaf Vine had no chance of escaping his grasp.

Using the Yu Ding to constrain the void, and with the strength of his physical body alone, Gu Chen forcibly broke the Starleaf Vine's confinement and easily obtained it.

The main vine was relatively thicker and had stronger medicinal effects, while the secondary vines were comparatively weaker.

Nevertheless, for Yun Zishu, it was sufficient to allow him to break through from the peak of the God Transformation Realm to the early stage of the Huanxu Realm.

"With the main vine in hand, it should be enough for my breakthrough," Gu Chen thought to himself.

Moreover, by killing Ye Meng, the prodigy of the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, Gu Chen received a total of two thousand three hundred Divine Power points, which was a hundred more than what he received from Huo Ming of the Fire Crow Clan.

This meant that Ye Meng's strength was definitely superior to Hu Ming's, and the Divine Power value wouldn't lie.

After obtaining the Starleaf Vine, the next step was naturally to go into seclusion. After Gu Chen and Yun Zishu descended the mountain, they discovered that Liu Qi and the others had all disappeared.

Clearly, they were frightened by the methods Gu Chen used to deal with Ye Meng.

Afterward, Gu Chen and Yun Zishu found a spot inside a mountain and dug out two caves for their separate secluded meditation.

The Starleaf Vine, with stars flickering all over its body like flowing water, was about ten feet long and pulsated with intense spiritual energy.

Without any hesitation, Gu Chen used his finger as a sword and gently sliced, dividing the ten-foot-long Starleaf Vine into over a dozen pieces, and then ingested one of the portions.

The potent medicinal force dissolved in his belly, and within Gu Chen's body, the magical power in his 366 meridians circulated, refining the medicinal power of the Starleaf Vine, and his cultivation strength immediately increased by a great deal.

...

Seven days later.

"I've finally succeeded."

Gu Chen's eyes opened, and a divine radiance flashed within them. After seven days of seclusion, having ingested all of the Starleaf Vine and added two thousand three hundred Divine Points, he had finally achieved his wish and reached the Grand Perfection of the God Transformation Realm!

"That was rather challenging," Gu Chen sighed lightly.

For others, a single Starleaf Vine might suffice to break through from the peak of the Huanxu Realm to the pinnacle unity in the Earth realm with a not small probability, but for Gu Chen, it only enabled him to break through from the later stage of the God Transformation Realm to Grand Perfection of that realm.

Moreover, the ascent of just a single minor realm had consumed all of the Starleaf Vine.

It should be noted that this was still a barely satisfactory state, and in the end, Gu Chen also used the two thousand three hundred Divine Points from killing Ye Meng, converting them into cultivation age to finally achieve true success and reach Grand Perfection in this realm.

"Regardless, it's still a success."

At this moment, introspection revealed that within the sea of consciousness at the forehead's ancestral orifice, the four-foot-tall primordial spirit that looked exactly like Gu Chen sat solemnly at the center, holding a jade slip, the Primordial Spirit Magic Treasure remnants.

Inside his body, the robust cultivation age of 6,800 years circulated endlessly through his heavenly meridians, providing Gu Chen with powerful forces strong enough to shatter the heavens and trample the earth.

"Ordinary cultivators at the initial stage of unity realm no longer pose any fear for me," Gu Chen whispered, his eyes brimming with immense confidence.

His fearlessness didn't mean using divine powers; rather, Gu Chen was confident that even without divine powers, he could now contend against the top cultivators of the unity realm in the Earth realm!

It was, by all means, an immense enhancement!

The unity realm was the last realm within the Earth realm and also the one with the most significant demarcation.

A powerful unity realm cultivator could merge with the heavens and the void, touch the edges of laws, and even had the power to create small worlds— they were truly formidable!

Generally, very few prodigies could battle across realms against those in the unity realm.

Not to mention, Gu Chen had leaped across two major realms.

"The initial stage of unity realm should definitely pose no problems. As for the middle stage, that's harder to say," Gu Chen assessed his current strength.

In the end, he concluded that he still needed to break through to the Huanxu Realm as soon as possible.

Only by reaching the Huanxu Realm could he openly use divine powers without having to hide as he did now, and many more things would also become attainable.

"The Huanxu Realm, Divine Return to Void," Gu Chen muttered to himself. He planned to wait for the opening of one of the two greatest fortunes in the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty—the Dragon Transformation Pool—and attempt his breakthrough there.

"When the time comes, my physical body and cultivation, as well as my primordial spirit, will undergo a leap in enhancement!" Gu Chen's expression was excited. He was genuinely looking forward to discovering the wonders of the "leaping through the dragon's gate."
