Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 971 - 64 The Insurmountable Mountain

Under the leadership of the top five sinister geniuses of the younger generation of the Gray Domain, more than a dozen Cave Heaven Realm cultivators pressed forward towards Gu Chen. This scene was a once-in-a-lifetime sight for many, who quickly retreated far away, leaving a large open space for them.

On the other hand, the Co-Owner also took steps towards Gu Chen, wanting to aid him.

In the crowd, Ling Fei from the Xuan Yi Sect and Liao Yun watched this unfold. The latter muttered softly, "This is bad. With so many Cave Heaven Realm cultivators and the alliance of the five monstrous talents, I'm afraid Gu Jiuge is doomed."

Next to him, Ling Fei heard this and said nothing; her beautiful eyes blinked not, fixated on Gu Chen in the center.

Everyone thought Gu Chen would retreat. After all, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Retreating now would not be disgraceful; rather, it would become a story to tell — an alliance of the five monstrous talents was unprecedented.

But, contrary to expectations, not only did Gu Chen not retreat, but a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth as he made a comment that further astounded the onlookers.

Even the likes of Xue Ningshan and the other four had serious expressions. After all, the object lesson was clear; Jiu Li was still under Gu Chen's feet, screaming miserably.

"Hand over your young master!" the Jiuying Clan, seeing Jiu Li in a dying state, were the most anxious.

Gu Chen didn't speak but answered with his actions.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by the heavy stomp of his foot, blood splattered and a pitiful scream echoed. The young master Jiu Li's body of the Jiuying Clan exploded again, turning into a mist of blood.

However, quickly, under the special life force of the Jiuying Clan, his body healed once again.

At this moment, Jiu Li's face was pale, his eyes filled with panic. He was truly frightened; he hadn't expected that even using his final resort, he was still no match for Gu Chen and was defeated so miserably.

"Direct full-force suppression!" Jin Xu of the Tiankui Clan said coldly.

As his words fell, he did not hesitate to use his strongest method. Like Jiu Li before him, his aura climbed higher and higher, and soon he reached the true peak of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Qi Mountain of the Soaring Snake Clan, with a cold demeanor, remained silent. Like Jin Xu, he acted without waiting, readying himself for Gu Chen's potential surprise attack, even acting faster than Jin Xu to momentarily reach the epitome of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Xue Ningshan from the Spirit Road Mountain, Yun Qi from the Yin Yang Heavenly Sect, and Liu Yun from the Hovering Island did likewise.

The five monstrous talents were all-out from the start, even bringing out their ultimate moves to take down Gu Chen in one strike.

The moment they reached the full culmination of the Cave Heaven Realm, their combined aura was incredibly strong. The earth shook and the mountains moved; even with protective formations in place, it impressed such a feeling upon all the onlookers.

Not to mention the others, in this state, if a cultivator just entered the God Transformation Realm, the five might even be able to fight toe-to-toe with them.

"The five monstrous geniuses strike together; I don't believe Gu Jiuge can withstand this," the crowd watched intently, eager to see where Gu Chen's confidence came from.

"Interesting," Gu Chen said calmly, undeterred in his tone.

At these words, Jin Xu's expression darkened. His body erupted with blazing brilliance like the sun, not taking a liking to Gu Chen at all.

"Let me see just how capable you are, Wheel of Heaven Imprint!"

Jin Xu shouted, stepping forward and forming seals with his hands. With a hum, an even more dazzling light burst from his palms. Above his head, a sun manifested, crossing the sky and smashing down towards Gu Chen.

Such a strike could evaporate a whole lake in the outside world, but thanks to the protective formation, the onlookers were safe and sound.

Even so, they felt an astonishing heat, which forced everyone to retreat again and again.

At this moment, as a fierce sun assaulted them, Gu Chen stood his ground motionless. He simply reached out a palm and, astoundingly, grasped it with a plain and unadorned grip.

"What?!"

Witnessing this scene, Tiankui Clan's young master Jin Xu's pupils constricted, filled with incredulity. He had never expected Gu Chen to dare to handle his full-powered strike so casually.

Boom!

The next instant, under the unwavering gaze of the crowd, that sun was directly crushed by Gu Chen's bare hands, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"Too weak!"

These were Gu Chen's two words of assessment for Jin Xu, making the latter's face turn crimson with shame and embarrassment.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a black shadow struck with extreme speed, carrying a sound that seemed to tear apart the void itself as if it were going to split it in two, like a sharp sword hidden in the shadows, aiming for Gu Chen's throat.

"Underhanded tactics."

Gu Chen's gaze remained calm, showing no fear. He extended two fingers, reacting after but arriving before. With a flick of his vibrating finger, only a muffled groan was heard as Soaring Snake Clan's young master Qi Mountain's figure materialized, stumbling backward while clutching his bloody palm.

Boom!

At this moment, seizing the opportunity, Xue Ningshan from Lingdao Mountain churned with Heavenly Earth Essence Qi. She too clasped her hands together and a large seal formed, gathering the spiritual energy from all directions, and smashed it down on Gu Chen's head.

"Yin Yang Heavenly Light!"

Yun Qi from the reclusive Daoist sect of Yin Yang Heaven Sect also unleashed a powerful technique. The black and white energies in the depths of his pupils swirled, then violently entwined, shooting towards Gu Chen.

"Earth-Shaking Giant Hand Imprint!"

Liu Yun, a successor from the reclusive Daoist sect of Hovering Island, let out a loud cry. Everyone suddenly felt a heavy weight upon them as a hand imprint as large as a cloud formed, accompanied by boundless essence qi and with the might to shatter the heavens, bearing down on Gu Chen.

"Wheel of Heaven Imprint!"

"Soaring Snake Shadow!"

Seeing this, Jin Xu of the Tiankui Clan and Qi Mountain of the Soaring Snake Clan also darkened in expression, striking once more. Five exceptional prodigies joined hands, simultaneously unleashing their strongest attacks on Gu Chen.

From this, one could also see how deep their wariness of Gu Chen truly was.

At this time, the Emperor of Summer, seeing what was happening, was ready to aid with a grave expression, but Gu Chen shook his head, refusing the offer.

"Elder, please stand back and enjoy the show, a few cats and dogs are hardly worth your intervention."

Hearing Gu Chen describe them as a few cats and dogs, all five prodigies' expressions darkened, their anger intensifying, forcing out their potential and taking the power of their moves up a notch.

"Could this Gu Jiuge be asking for trouble?"

"Can he withstand such a mighty attack?"

People talked among themselves, the terror in the vibe was so intense that, even from a distance, it sent shivers down their spines and made them tremble all over.

"Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret!"

Gu Chen's eyes deepened, and as these words fell, divine light surged in his pupils. Alongside him, the true dragon roared. Royal auras of dragon qi were born one after another.

At this moment, he moved with the majesty of a true dragon and the ferocity of a tiger, advancing instead of retreating. He was like a Co-Owner of the Human Clan on a procession, co-resonating with heaven and earth, as if crowning him—the prowess was breathtaking and soul-stirring!

Thud!

His punch, accompanied by a rich imperial dragon aura, had a crushing vibe as if it could shatter the void itself, obliterating all in its path.

For some reason, when Gu Yan saw Gu Chen's punch, he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity, as if it shared a trace of similarity with the technique he practiced.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, facing Gu Chen's unstoppable punch, Xue Ningshan and the other four turned pale, coughing up blood and flying backward.

Their protectors were shocked at the sight.

"Your Highness!"

The Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty's war generals also watched Gu Yan in shock, not expecting Gu Chen to have such battle prowess.

Keep in mind, those were the five great geniuses of the Gray Domain, each ranked on the Dao Gold List, and all of them had joined forces and elevated their cultivation to the great perfection of the Cave Heaven Realm. Even Gu Yan, the ninth prince, might not be able to withstand them.

At this moment, Gu Yan's expression was extremely solemn, feeling a significant challenge, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

"Gu Chen, you've reached this stage?!" He roared within himself, as the dark qi in his eyes intensified.

It was incredible that such a barbarian from the lower worlds could grow at such a pace after reaching the upper realms, which amazed Gu Yan.

At the same time, he understood that he could no longer afford to give Gu Chen time, he had to put an end to him here and now!

"Wait for the right moment, and be ready to act!" Gu Yan said in a low voice.

"Yes!" The war general by his side nodded vigorously upon hearing the command.

At this moment, witnessing Xue Ningshan and the others spitting blood and flying backward on the battlefield alarmed everyone.

They knew that with this single action, the contest amongst the younger generation had effectively been decided.

No matter what, Gu Chen was an insurmountable mountain for all those young aspirants who aimed to dominate the Gray Domain!

"The true number one in the Gray Domain!" Someone murmured subconsciously, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Nobody had expected to witness such a scene in their lifetimes.

"Gu Jiuge, he definitely has the qualifications to be listed on the Dao Gold List!" another person shouted.

The Dao Gold List encompassed all the top geniuses from across the 3,600 domains of the upper realms, unlike the domain gold lists, which only included geniuses from a single domain.

Only those who defeated several ranked geniuses from different domains were eligible for the Dao Gold List!

And Gu Chen, at this moment, definitely had the potential, but due to the lack of cross-realm challenges against other geniuses, his name had yet to appear on the Dao Gold List.

As this was pointed out, everyone shuddered even more, knowing it was already stunning to be listed on the domain gold list, but to be on the Dao Gold List would make one known to all living beings across the 3,600 domains of the upper world!

Such individuals would even draw the attention of the mightiest beings, who would watch with keen interest!

Because if a genius on the Dao Gold List did not fall, their chances of becoming one of the mightiest beings was not slim.

This reflected the prestige of the Dao Gold List.

And at this moment, the impression Gu Chen gave them was exactly that.

This overwhelming victory was clear proof he had not used his full strength, a feat only possible for those at the top echelons worthy of the Dao Gold List.

"Attack!"

At that moment, Jin Xu from the Tiankui Clan, not willing to give up, the five geniuses, along with their protectors, once again attacked Gu Chen simultaneously.

For a moment, it was like a gigantic wave hitting the heavens; the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi was boiling, thunder reverberated throughout heaven and earth, and the void itself trembled unstably. The strike was so powerful that even a newly ascended God Transformation Realm cultivator might need to retreat!

Gu Chen stood with his black hair flowing and gleaming, calmly standing his ground without a ripple of disturbance in his eyes.

Crackle and pop!

Facing this mighty strike, he brought his palms together, then slowly parted them. Between his palms, lightning spewed forth, electric arcs leaped, and a long spear began to take shape.

A spear wrought from the power of thunder!

"Go!"

Gu Chen gripped the spear with a single arm, the azure spear gleamed with intense electrical sparks and crackling sounds, and he hurled it with all his might.

Boom!

Like a landslide breaking through the clouds or a tidal wave crashing onto the shore, powerful energy erupted, and it seemed as if Gu Chen's spear had punctured a hole in the very heavens, its brilliant lightning illuminating everything above and below.

Under this single strike, it was like the mandate of the heavens; the power of thunder was incomparable, roaring like a dragon, imposing an indescribable pressure upon everyone present.

Thousands of lightning flashes erupted, mixing a trace of divine power in the strike, directly charring Jin Xu, Qi Mountain, and others, with everyone who had acted against him getting thoroughly electrified, as wisps of smoke rose from their bodies.

Even a few Cave Heaven Realm cultivators from the Jiuying Clan perished miserably, unable to withstand such terrifying power, their bodies turned to ash.

As for Jiu Li, the young lord of the Jiuying Clan, he was already unconscious and unaware of these developments.

With a godly might that was unstoppable!

Everyone watching the scene, with the silhouette amidst the heaven-spanning lightning, had the same thought:
