Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 482 - 363: Taking the Initiative_2

Gu Chen heard the words and slightly shook his head. Every one of the Six Sacred Lands truly held themselves higher than the rest, exhibiting a kind of inexplicable self-confidence.

Or rather, they wouldn’t shed a tear until they saw the coffin.

After all, perched high above for tens of thousands of years, the Six Sacred Lands had grown accustomed to looking down upon the martial artists of Tiandu. Even though Gu Chen’s emergence had surprised them, this mindset was not something that could be changed overnight.

Because it was a habit cultivated over tens of thousands of years, it wasn’t easily changed.

Moreover, apart from a few counted individuals in the whole of Tiandu, the Six Sacred Lands could still overlook everyone.

Perched so high above, having such an arrogant attitude was admittedly normal.

"I will stand right here today and see how you plan to cut me down," Gu Chen said calmly, staring straight at Hu Wei.

Xi Jie sat at the head of the table, frowning deeply at Gu Chen. He sensed a powerful confidence in Gu Chen, knowing full well they were here, yet daring to take initiative. Such boldness was not something ordinary people possessed.

Moreover, without real strength, Xi Jie did not believe Gu Chen would dare to do so.

"Be careful, I’ll join you in taking action," Xi Jie said, standing up after staring at Gu Chen for a while, ready to face the enemy alongside Hu Wei.

Hu Wei looked at Xi Jie with some surprise. Xi Jie was a bit stronger than him, having walked the path of martial arts divinity, just a step away from congealing divine intent, with strong perception.

"It seems this little beast really does have some tricks up his sleeve," Hu Wei said with a cold expression.

Even knowing about Gu Chen facing nine opponents and slaying them all, neither Xi Jie nor Hu Wei held any fear.

After all, they were from the Six Sacred Lands, not the same as the martial artists of Tiandu.

In Xi Jie and Hu Wei’s view, either of them could kill a Tiandu-born Innate expert almost as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

Be it their horizons, cultivation, or martial weapons, there was a complete disparity in levels between them. Within the same realm, martial artists from the Six Sacred Lands were more than capable of crushing those from Tiandu.

Only a freak like Gu Chen could dominate the heirs of the Sacred Lands in every aspect.

Of course, individuals like Lin Bai who possessed great fortune and had been endowed with exceptional techniques by a Divine Intent Realm master could compete with, or even exceed, the heirs of the Sacred Lands.

But such cases were extremely rare.

"Finish him off quickly. After killing this child, we still need to find Lin Bai and track down the whereabouts of the Heavenly Seed," Xi Jie said to Hu Wei.

"We two would also like to join the elders in taking action, to execute this fiend together!" said Xu Tianying, the Arsenal master, and Yuan Xiong, the head of Mysterious Pill Workshop, echoing the sentiment.

With a ringing sound, the two drew out their weapons, each wearing a protective body armor; all were of mid-grade divine weapon level.

Seeing the two arm themselves so meticulously, a hint of a smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of Gu Chen’s mouth.

To Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong, that smile seemed utterly mocking. Already holding deep resentment towards Gu Chen for the enmity of killing their disciples, seeing the mocking smile at the corner of Gu Chen’s mouth, with Xi Jie and Hu Wei backing them, the two could no longer contain themselves and charged forward with a roar.

"Let’s see what he’s made of," Xi Jie and Hu Wei did not move, instead standing there and watching Gu Chen closely.

Facing the furious assault of Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong, two Great Masters of the Innate Realm, Gu Chen stood still, the Great Day True Qi circulating through his limbs and bones for a thousand years. He struck out with a palm, and the void seemed to explode, emitting a violent roar.

Boom!

Scorching and fierce Gang Wind struck their faces, directly sending Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong, two consummate Great Masters of the Innate Realm, flying.

"What solid cultivation!"

Feeling the tall mountain-like robust Qi emanating from Gu Chen, Xi Jie and Hu Wei of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect could not help but change their expressions.

This degree of cultivation, although slightly inferior to their own, was already enough to crush most of the consummate Innate Realm Great Masters in Tiandu.

Moreover, the purity of Gu Chen’s Great Day True Qi was even superior to the Innate Qi within Xi Jie and Hu Wei.

"Such pure Innate Qi, how did this child cultivate it to this extent?" Xi Jie and Hu Wei were full of surprise and confusion.

Given their ages and their consummate realms in the Innate Realm, plus the profound internal arts of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, years of cultivation had still fallen short of Gu Chen’s level of Qi purity.

In fact, Xi Jie and Hu Wei could assert that with the purity of Gu Chen’s Innate Qi, no one could match him throughout the Six Sacred Lands.

"No wonder he’s so strong immediately after breaking into the Innate Realm," Xi Jie and Hu Wei said, faces solemn, instantly understanding.

One should know, the purity of Innate Qi greatly influences the battle strength of an Innate Realm Great Master.

The purer the Innate Qi, the greater the power of the martial arts used, and the stronger the consequent destructive force.

Refining the body’s Innate Qi to such a degree takes a long time, but Gu Chen, newly advanced to the Innate Realm and so young, prompted Xi Jie and Hu Wei’s speculation on why his Great Day True Qi was so pure, surpassing all others in the Innate Realm, with the Six Sacred Lands unable to compare.

All of this, of course, was thanks to the Heavenly Seed. With the Heavenly Seed refining his Qi and tempering his body, it would be difficult for Gu Chen not to outclass others.

Let alone the other capabilities of the Heavenly Seed, just this aspect alone, over many years of subtle influence, would create a vast gap between Gu Chen and other martial artists.

Obtaining the Heavenly Seed was truly a path to invincibility, a statement decidedly not exaggerated.

This was also why Gu Chen, only at the middle stage of the Innate Realm, could rival and even crush those at the consummate stage.

Cultivation, physique, martial arts, weapons—all-round crushing.

"But his cultivation is also too vigorous, not at all like someone who’s just entered the Innate Realm," said Xi Jie and Hu Wei as they took the chance when Gu Chen made a move to analyze his overall strength extensively.

It was evident that although they verbally looked down on Gu Chen, they were not reckless, affording Gu Chen ample attention.

In just one exchange, with the burst of cultivation from within, they sent Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong, two consummate Innate Realm Great Masters, flying. Had it not been for their mid-grade divine weapons’ protection, they would have been injured by that single strike.

"How is this little beast so strong?!" Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong were also somewhat stunned.

"You two are simply too weak."

As Gu Chen spoke, he extended his fingers and abruptly clenched his fist. Instantly, the air around them seemed to boil, the void distorted, and waves of force converged toward Gu Chen’s palm.

In the center of Gu Chen’s palm, it seemed as though a vortex had formed, slowly unleashing a tremendous might.

"Death is upon you!"

At that moment, Xu Tianying, the Arsenal master, and Yuan Xiong, the head of Mysterious Pill Workshop, had their pupils shrink and their bodies tremble, feeling an acute sense of mortal danger.

"Elders, save us!"
