Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1438 - 325: The Collapse of the Holy Realm

Great Power, only the giants of the Ascension Realm from the upper realm and the strongest beings of the Primordial Realm can master it—it can be said to be supremely powerful, terrifyingly peerless!

Yet, the skills that Gu Chen had previously mastered on his panel, which he acquired from the Nine Provinces in the lower realm, including Nine Dragons Annihilation, Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens, and Clairvoyant Insight, while quite extraordinary, were merely categorized as Lesser Divine Skills.

The gap between Great Power and Lesser Divine Power cannot be measured by any standard.

It is akin to comparing the strongest beings with the Great Powers who are on the verge of Feathered Transformation; they simply cannot be discussed on equal terms.

Among them, the Seal the Sky and Cut off the Earth and the Five Divine Seals that Gu Chen had previously mastered came under the category of Great Powers.

Nowadays, through the extrapolation of Divine Skills and the transformation of some techniques he practiced before, the number of Divine Skills that Gu Chen mastered had considerably increased, and all these Great Powers reached the sixth-grade level!

This was, indeed, a staggering achievement that could not easily be compared to the top giants from the Ascension Realm.

"The six-grade Divine Skills from the Nine Great Powers have also brought my strength within the Feathered Transformation Realm to its peak," Gu Chen mused to himself.

During these five years, Gu Chen’s primary focus had indeed been on this.

It must be said that Taoxu Road’s Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, also played a significant role in this; having obtained those supreme inheritances in the Holy Realm, she greatly aided Gu Chen.

Nowadays, all of his Divine Skills and practices were acquired through those supreme inheritances, plus panel extrapolation, which made them incredibly powerful and exceptional; among the array of Great Powers, they were considered the very pinnacle.

Currently, on Gu Chen’s panel, there were only three remaining skills. These were the most critical three for any cultivator, representing the essence, energy, and spirit of a living being.

Among them, the Original Immortal Body, which had been transformed from the Immortal Sacred Body, represented the ultimate attainment of the body’s potential.

And the Supreme Solar Power Skill, transformed from the Solar Scripture, represented the pinnacle of the masculine principle!

The last, the Source God Sutra, had been transformed from the Elemental Spirit Diagrams, representing the ultimate attainment of the spiritual path.

"After cultivating up to the Heavenly Realm, apart from essence, energy, and spirit, the focus becomes even more on the cultivation of principles," Gu Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes flickering with light.

Cultivation in the Heavenly Realm was different from any other realm; it wasn’t simply a matter of having sufficient cultivation to make a breakthrough.

Beginning with entering the Feathered Transformation Realm, one had to rely on enlightenment, understanding the fundamental principles of heaven and earth, and perceiving the power of principles. Only in this way could one break through to the next realm.

Otherwise, even with sufficient accumulation, if one could not perceive it, it would be just as difficult to make a breakthrough.

This was why the further along in cultivation one progressed, the slower the advancement became; sometimes, even a minor improvement would require hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation.

If it were not so, after annihilating the four great imperial families and other forces, Gu Chen, having acquired an immense number of merit points, would have been able to advance swiftly.

It can be said that the improvement of skills costs the most merit points.

"The two great Dharmakayas are also becoming increasingly perfected," Gu Chen sensed within himself and said quietly—all of this was the fruit of his five years of cultivation.

Afterward, he introspected further; at the core of his being, there were five naturally formed imprints embossed there, merely giving them a direct look imparted a sensation of thousands of troops charging into battle, containing an extraordinary fighting will!

These were battle marks, which only appear as order imprints when one’s physical body realm reached the level of the Heaven-Derived Battle Body.

When Gu Chen broke through to the Heavenly Realm, his Dao body was perfected, and three battle marks grew within his body.

After five years of seclusion, the Original Immortal Body advanced to the third layer, and the Heaven-Derived Battle Body reached the five-mark level; only four battle marks away from completion, he was on the verge of entering the ranks of those who became saints in the flesh.

"The spirit aspect is now shining with five stars," above the spirit of Gu Chen within the Sea of Consciousness, five stars shimmered resplendently, flickering erratically, with strands of starlight showering down, incredibly dazzling.

Five years of cultivation—this was the accumulation that Gu Chen possessed now.

Actually, he had originally thought he could continue cultivating up to the Ascension Realm and then face the storms and stresses from the upper realm, but unexpectedly, the Holy Realm was about to collapse.

Eight years had passed since the opening of the Holy Realm.

Two years ago, this piece of heaven and earth had already entered a countdown.

But precisely because of this, the suppression of the heavenly ceiling disappeared; the entire Holy Realm could be said to be the emergence of the strong, and over these five years, many supreme beings had also appeared.

One day, Gu Chen emerged from seclusion, stepping out of the secret chamber, and saw Luo Bing, Tianyuan Taoist, Du E the monk, War King, Mu Tian, and other five successors of the Nine Heavens, including Taoxu Road’s Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, as well as Long Yi, Dongba, Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and Zhen Yuan among others.

At the same time, Ao Xuan, Phoenix Dance, Can Miao, Qi Dao—four great immortal spirits were also there.

Besides, Nie Kong, the prodigy from the Void King Clan, had also come to this place. Over five years, everyone got along very well.

Now, among these individuals, whoever it may be, they all completely respected Gu Chen, no longer harboring any other thoughts, including Qi Dao.

As for Nie Kong, after such a long period of interaction, Gu Chen and others understood that he was not a creature of this era. He came from many great eras past, sealed in the boundless void by his father, a supremely exalted being from the heavens; he was coincidentally discovered by the Void King Clan in the current era.

"Big brother!"

"Gu Chen!"

Seeing him come out of seclusion, everyone was somewhat excited; Gu Chen nodded slightly, noticing they were engaged in discussing Dao. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

For these exceptional talents, this was indeed a very good way to improve themselves.
