Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 972 - 65 Immortal Sacred Body

The thunderous spear shattered all attacks, and with that rich thunderous light, its fluctuation was unmatched.

The power of thunderbolt is one of the most violent forces in the world, possessing extremely strong offensive capabilities. Not to mention, this strike also contained a slight power of the divine Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, making its might even more terrifying.

Xue Ningshan and the others couldn't block it, which was within expectations.

This strike not only completely defeated the five monstrous talents but also directly crushed their inner spirit.

At this moment, the five of them were not only pale but also had a dim look in their eyes, knowing that they were truly no match for Gu Chen, the gap was far too vast.

Even after using their last resorts, the outcome remained the same, a sense of unprecedented defeat filled the hearts of the five.

Because, all along, whatever they did, they were unimpeded, and never before had they encountered such a situation.

This was their first defeat, and the gap was so vast that they didn't even know how to begin to chase after it.

The difference between the two sides was like that between clouds and mud.

One could say that after this battle, Gu Chen had thoroughly crushed the pride of Xue Ningshan and the others.

The people of the Blood Orchid Clan watched this scene, utterly shocked, never expecting that, just as their young lord Xueyu had said, so many people joining forces would still not be a match, and even be defeated so miserably.

At this moment, the young lord Xueyu of the Blood Orchid Clan, a bewitching woman with blood-red long hair, looked at Gu Chen with sparkling eyes.

Clearly, Gu Chen's strength had somewhat exceeded her expectations.

She knew Gu Chen would win, but she hadn't expected him to do so with such ease and decisiveness.

Obviously, Gu Chen hadn't even exerted himself much before Xue Ningshan and his companions were defeated, a gap so great it could not be described by a mere chasm.

"Young lord..."

Seeing Xueyu's glowing gaze fixed on Gu Chen, the Blood Orchid Clan's people were somewhat worried. Xueyu had always aspired to become a powerful figure since she was young.

She especially revered the strong.

They feared that Gu Chen's formidable strength would make Xueyu fall, which was not a good thing.

After all, in the future, Xueyu was to become the leader of the Blood Orchid Clan, leading them to glory. If she were to indulge in affairs of the heart, that was not what they wished to see.

But what others thought did not matter to Xueyu; her gaze toward Gu Chen was indeed dazzling, full of radiant shine, as she looked resolutely at him.

Gu Chen, of course, felt it, but he didn't care. He turned his head to glance at Jiu Li, the unconscious young lord of the Jiuying Clan, and without looking back, he casually flicked a wisp of pale golden flame onto Jiu Li's body.

Boom!

In an instant, the pale golden flame swelled in the wind, turning into the scorching Sun True Fire, raging fiercely on Jiu Li's body.

"Ahhh—"

Soon, Jiu Li awoke with a miserable howl within the Sun True Fire, eventually starting to kowtow and begging for mercy, hoping that Gu Chen would spare his life.

Gu Chen looked indifferent, seemingly cold and unfeeling. Jiu Li, as tenacious as his life might be, could not withstand such torture.

Soon, all his life forces were exhausted, and his entire body was directly incinerated to ashes.

"As expected of the Jiuying Clan's young lord, his merit points are indeed much higher than the others," Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction and privately made such an evaluation.

As a member of another clan, since he dared to provoke him, he had to be prepared to become merit points to aid Gu Chen's cultivation.

At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes shifted, turning to look at the severely injured Xue Ningshan and the others.

When they saw Gu Chen looking toward them, each of them shivered, the precedent set by the Jiuying Clan still fresh in their memories; they were now filled with fear.

"Young Master Gu... as members of the Human Clan, please let's talk this out," said Xue Ningshan from Lingdao Mountain, her red lips and pale face accentuating her vulnerability as she spoke.

But Gu Chen remained unmoved; killing his own clan offered him no benefits, thus, his primary targets were the members of the other clans.

Seeing Gu Chen turn his gaze towards them, members of the Tiankui Clan and the Soaring Snake Clan shivered, and Jin Xu was about to speak out and threaten Gu Chen with his background.

However, his guardian spoke first, stopping him and beseechingly said to Gu Chen, "Young Master Gu, although we have made a move against you, there is no life-and-death feud between us. The Jiuying Clan members have already met a gruesome end. May I ask, what would convince Young Master Gu to spare our lives?"

The guardian of the Soaring Snake Clan, seeing this, followed suit smartly, repeating the same plea in a similar submissive tone.

Although they still had some trump cards, like a few forbidden artifacts they hadn't used, the most important fact was that Gu Chen had never fully exerted his strength, making him seem unfathomably deep to them.

Therefore, the Tiankui Clan's guardian was unwilling to continue the fight; making an enemy out of him would spell trouble.

Mainly, they had no confidence in dealing with Gu Chen.

Seeing their guardians so humbly begging for mercy, the Tiankui Clan's Jin Xu's face turned cold, and with a huff, he turned his head away, gnashing his teeth.

"Hand over all your spirit medicines and treasures," Gu Chen spoke calmly.

"Yes."

The Tiankui Clan's guardian didn't dare to haggle and hurriedly handed over all the valuable items from himself and his clansmen, placing them in a storage artifact and giving it to Gu Chen.

The Soaring Snake Clan did the same, naturally.

"And the two of them." Gu Chen glanced indifferently at Jin Xu and Qi Mountain.

He, of course, knew that the most valuable items were on these two individuals.

"You..."

Jin Xu's face darkened, feeling deeply insulted, but Qi Mountain, in contrast, was much more straightforward, silently handing over his storage artifact to Gu Chen.

"Good." Gu Chen nodded slightly; Qi Mountain might have a gloomy aura, but he really knew the times, far better than the annoying Jin Xu.

Jin Xu, seeing the situation, felt helpless and reluctant, but he could only hand over his storage artifact.

Gu Chen did not kill them, of course, he had his own considerations. Cutting down members of the Jiuying Clan had already helped him establish his might. If he killed everyone there, such strong and murderous character would have pushed him to stand against everyone.

He could do without friends, but he couldn't turn everyone into enemies.

Otherwise, once he left the secret realm, there really would be no place for him in the Gray Domain.

"Can you not hear what I'm saying?" At this time, Gu Chen's gaze shifted, turning to look at the three scions of the hidden sects.

Even as scions of hidden sects, or even as guardians, Xue Ningshan and the other two only had one mentor each, seeing this, they did not dare to hesitate. They quickly took out their storage artifacts and handed them over to Gu Chen.

"Which sect do you really come from?" Yun Qi of the Yin Yang Heavenly Sect asked Gu Chen with some suspicion.

Hearing the question, Gu Chen merely glanced at him indifferently, without saying a word.

And that glance was enough to send a chill down the spine of Yun Qi and his guardian. The two nearly fell flat on their behinds right there on the ground.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't," the guardian of the Yin Yang Heavenly Sect transmitted to Yun Qi.

"Senior, let's go."

After Gu Chen collected everything, he gestured to Xia Huang, and the two of them headed towards the inheritance stone stele at the very center.

Along the way, everyone stepped back, creating space for Gu Chen, with no one daring to obstruct him.

And there, on the road nearest to the inheritance stone stele, stood a group of people— it was Gu Yan and others from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone watched, wondering if the so-called Ninth Prince, Gu Yan, still had the courage to confront Gu Chen.

"Your Highness, we..." The warrior general beside Gu Yan flashed a look at him.

Gu Yan, with an expressionless face, shook his head slightly, indicating that the time was not right.

"Gu Chen, be arrogant for now, I want to see how long you can keep it up!" With an inward cold snort, Gu Yan, without a word or attempting a futile effort, cleared the way for Gu Chen.

"Sure enough!"

Seeing this scene, the crowds couldn't help but nod to themselves, knowing that with Gu Chen's strength, no one within the secret realm could stop him.

Soon, Gu Chen arrived at the inheritance stone stele with Xia Huang. He paid no immediate attention to Gu Yan but instead sized up the mystical stone stele.

There would be time later to deal with Gu Yan when the battle erupted; but by then, there might not be time to come into contact with the inheritance stone stele and accept the inheritance.

After all, according to the information he received, this inheritance stone stele would not stand there forever; it would disappear.

Hum!

When Gu Chen's palm touched the stone stele, a cool sensation came, followed by a surge of information and images flooding into his mind.

The inheritance stone stele would, at the moment of contact, sense the essence, qi, and spirit of a living being and transmit the most suitable cultivation technique.

This was the magical aspect of the inheritance stone stele— it had autonomous recognition capabilities.

Otherwise, if it could only store cultivation techniques, it would not be worthy of being one of the foundational pillars of a top power.

Boom!

That moment, a vast amount of information exploded in Gu Chen's mind, accompanied by the images of figures. His entire muscular body tensed unconsciously, his surging blood qi spread through his limbs, and all the apertures in his body resonated together.

The first thing he received was actually a body cultivation technique!

"Is it really so mystical?!" Just having glanced at it, Gu Chen felt enthralled, unable to resist being captivated.

With his current vision, he could naturally see how powerful this body cultivation technique was. Lines of scriptures flowed through his mind, engraved into the deepest part of his consciousness.

It was known that back in the Nine Provinces, Gu Chen was renowned for his physical body, even having the potential to turn his physique into a realm of its own.

Not long ago, with the aid of an ancient medicinal recipe, he had successfully activated part of his body's divine treasures, significantly enhancing his strength.

One could say that the physical body had always been Gu Chen's greatest advantage, sometimes even surpassing his cultivation level.

However, when he attained the Heavenly Man realm, the body cultivation techniques he had learned were integrated and unified with the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra, creating a Pure Yang body as radiant and intense as the sun.

Unexpectedly, today, Gu Chen had acquired a body cultivation technique focused on this path, of extremely high grade. If cultivated to the pinnacle, it promised eternal existence in the world, undying and indestructible.

The name of this body cultivation technique was— Immortal Sacred Body!

If this technique were cultivated to completion, it could sublime one's very life source into a Saintly Body fruit position, forging a peerless physique unmatched in the world. The words "Immortal" encapsulated the true meaning of this technique!

"If it's really as described in the scriptures, after cultivation, one can forge a physique that can be called undying and indestructible. Then this technique, compared to supernatural abilities, is almost not much different!" Gu Chen was astonished, immersed in it, and somewhat entranced.

This body cultivation technique was indeed mighty, the most extraordinary he had ever seen, almost as profound as supernatural abilities, mysterious and deeply esoteric.

At the same time, to cultivate this technique, the starting requirements were also incredibly high. Apart from Gu Chen, it would be difficult to find a second practitioner in the Gray Domain who could meet the conditions.

"It's as if it was tailor-made for me!" The more Gu Chen comprehended, the more shocked he became. This body cultivation technique was truly of unpredictable power. If he continued to practice, it could definitely help him unlock his body's divine treasures again, allowing his physical body to undergo multiple transformations and sublime improvements!

"Eh, not just one, there's also a soul cultivation method?" Soon, Gu Chen discovered that along with the inheritance from the stone stele, there was also a cultivation method specifically for the soul.

"Soul Diagram?" Gu Chen, sensing both the Immortal Sacred Body and this soul cultivation technique, found that both were of extremely high grade and greatly beneficial to him!

"Act now!"

At this moment, seeing Gu Chen immersed and radiant on the outside, Gu Yan knew the time had come.

Following his command, those figures merged with demonic beings hidden among the crowd also moved swiftly.

Instantly, black qi spread across the sky, directly aiming for Gu Chen!
