Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

"Roar!"

The next instant, the desolate and distant aura flooded the entire world, as an Ancient Dragon Elephant materialized behind the Grandmaster of Da Yuan Country, Shiba Shitu. This time, it wasn't just a shadowy figure; it was incredibly solid, as lifelike as the real thing, and one might even say it appeared vividly alive.

The body of the Ancient Dragon Elephant was immensely huge and radiated a sense of power. Merely standing there, it seemed it could crush heaven and earth. Compared to it, everyone instinctively felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

In front of such a creature, the Human Clan truly seemed fragile, amounting to nothing, easily shattered, utterly weak.

Thus, the spectators' bodies couldn't help but start to shiver uncontrollably, every one of them trembling, as a wave of panic spread among all the hearts present.

Boom!

At this moment, the Grandmaster of Da Yuan Country, Shiba Shitu, made his move. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed the most powerful technique of the Daxueshan Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect, invoking the might of heaven and earth to summon the Ancient Dragon Elephant, bringing it back to the world to strike together at Gu Chen.

As the Ancient Dragon Elephant moved, the very heavens and earth instantly shattered; even the pitch-black void couldn't bear the strain, as countless fractures emerged. The sky in all directions seemed on the brink of complete destruction, a powerful and ancient aura pervading the area.

"Hmm?!"

But the next moment, when Shiba Shitu's attack reached the surface of Gu Chen's Coagulation Field, his expression suddenly changed, and he let out an exclamation of surprise.

Although his attack was incredibly powerful, and his fist had entered the Coagulation Field, as soon as it did, Shiba Shitu felt an immense resistance. It was as if time and space within had frozen, ready to bind and imprison his offensive momentum right where it was.

This was a form of terrifying might that intensified the fear in Shiba Shitu's heart.

"Ah..."

In that moment, Shiba Shitu roared, continuously crying out in various tones. He truly couldn't imagine, himself being a supreme warrior in the Divine Intent Realm, how touching Gu Chen could be so difficult at present.

"What on earth is this?!" Shiba Shitu bellowed, his hair flying wildly, his face twisted in ferocity, on the verge of going mad.

Because the light within the Coagulation Field was spreading, creeping up his arm, almost immobilizing him completely on the spot.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen himself stood motionless, his body tall and proud. Relying on his opponent's attack, he was experiencing and unraveling the various mysteries of Divine Intent, thereby gaining a deeper understanding and analysis of it.

"Complete unity of essence, energy, and spirit..." Gu Chen murmured, discerning some of the nuances, which would be of great help to him in condensing Divine Intent before long!

On the other hand, looking at Shiba Shitu, seeing that Gu Chen was not launching any offensive, but instead standing there as if realizing something, his face turned incredibly ugly. For him, it was the utmost humiliation!

Even more so, the Grandmaster of Da Yuan Country believed that Gu Chen's actions were even worse than those of the Emperor of Da Xia over twenty years ago!

Because Gu Chen was too young, and most importantly, his realm was not as high as his, which undoubtedly made Shiba Shitu find it even harder to accept. By now, he was nearly going mad, his pupils turning blood-red.

But no matter how mad he went, it was useless. The Coagulation Field was too extraordinary, and although Gu Chen's realm was inferior to his and he had not yet condensed Divine Intent, in other aspects, he was actually no less than this Grandmaster of Da Yuan Country.

This scene further intensified the excitement among the countless onlookers from afar, particularly those from the Da Xia side, every one of them invigorated.

"Fantastic!"

Even Qin Wu, the Deputy Commander of Jing Tian Department, who was not usually prone to show his emotions, clenched his fists now, vigorously waving his arms to express his exhilaration.

If he felt like this, it goes without saying that others felt even more so!

And on the side of Da Yuan Country, everyone's face was ashen. Seeing this scene, how could they not know that their Grandmaster, whom they revered like a deity, Shiba Shitu, was truly going to be defeated!

"A major event, this is truly a major event, significant enough to cause a stir even in the higher realms." Yuan Feng, a third-generation direct disciple from the Upper Realm's Wuji Dao Gate, murmured, his face full of astonishment.

Whether it was reaching the Great Perfection of the Coagulation Field in Jinzhou within less than a year, or refining his true essence, or defeating and even killing someone in the Divine Intent Realm while in the Coagulation Field, such feats were enough to cause quite a ripple in the Upper Realm and attract the attention of many, including the masters of sanctified places!

No matter where, this was an astounding record. A prodigy like Gu Chen, or rather a monstrosity, would surely be fought over by all parties in the Upper Realm!

"It's about time."

At this moment, Gu Chen whispered, the sacred light within the Holy Realm dazzling, like the sun and moon shining together, as if capable of swallowing infinite heaven's essence, like an immortal God Realm, transcendent and extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Shiba Shitu, the national teacher of Da Yuan Country, felt his heart leap, a sense of crisis like never before emerging in his mind.

He knew that Gu Chen had the intent to kill!

"I don't believe it, you are just a martial artist of the Coagulation Field, you can't really defeat me, Divine Intent is invincible, kill for me!"

Shiba Shitu, cornered, let out a loud roar, disregarding everything, his essence blood burning, his Divine Intent peerless, launching a blow that could shatter the heavens!

Facing the desperate attack of a Divine Intent Realm powerhouse, even Gu Chen had to be cautious. The slightly matured heavenly seed inside him quivered gently, infinite essence flowing throughout his limbs and bones, immediately boosting his strength in an instant.

After that, no matter how Shiba Shitu, with the blessing of Divine Intent, used the Soul Leading and Spirit Taking Skill, Ancient Dragon Elephant Heart Mantra, Heavenly Dragon Eight Techniques, and other martial arts against Gu Chen, it was still in vain.

With the Holy Realm upon him, Gu Chen stood as if in a divine sanctuary, able to isolate everything. His combat power was thus doubled, and with the added power of the heavenly seed, the ensuing battle had no suspense—it was a one-sided crushing.

"No! I am unwilling—"

Along with the final roar of Shiba Shitu, the national teacher of Da Yuan Country, a soft thud was heard, and blood splattered as Gu Chen's fist pierced through the enemy's heart. With a slight shake, he shattered everything inside his opponent.

"Uh..."

At this moment, blood was gushing from the corners of Shiba Shitu's mouth and chest, his life force rapidly ebbing away. Even with Divine Intent, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"I... am unwilling..."

His eyes wide open in anger as he stared at Gu Chen, but his voice grew weaker and weaker, continuously repeating this phrase. He truly was discontented. He had thought that after achieving the Divine Intent Realm, he would dominate Jinzhou and become a martial legend, with a chance to reach the peak of martial arts. Yet unexpectedly, he should fall here.

Before the battle began, he was full of confidence, believing he could effortlessly slay Gu Chen. It never crossed his mind that he would be the one to meet his demise.

Even the over-twenty-year reign of the Da Xia Emperor failed to kill him; on the contrary, after his breakthrough to the Divine Intent Realm, becoming the foremost in the contemporary era, he actually died at the hands of Gu Chen—a younger, it seemed absurdly young, and lower-cultivation warrior.

This made Shiba Shitu feel both tragic and laughable.

His life, his grand ambitions, all he wanted to achieve, thus came to an end.

In the end, with this thought, the light in Shiba Shitu's eyes of Da Yuan Country faded instantly, devoid of any brightness, and at the same time his neck slumped, he died.

Gu Chen challenged beyond his level and, being in the Coagulation Field, slew a Divine Intent Realm being that Jinzhou had not seen in many years—a feat no different from a miracle. This news would quickly become a storm and sweep across the whole world!

This time, even the so-called Six Great Holy Lands would feel the shock and even panic!

At the same time, the whole of Jinzhou would be set ablaze again, and the power structure of the world would undergo unprecedented changes!

And all of this was because of one person—Gu Chen!
