Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 799 - 563: Holy War Ends, Various Reactions _2

Without the mysterious gloves, today's battle would definitely not have been as effortless as it now seemed, to say the least, He Lianying and their magical weapons would have been incredibly troublesome for Gu Chen.

As the mysterious gloves continued to devour weapons and grow stronger, Gu Chen believed that even if he ascended to the higher realms one day, they would become one of his most powerful methods!

Also, with regard to the origin of the mysterious gloves, Gu Chen's curiosity grew ever stronger.

"For Pure Yang Martial Sect to be so fixated, it mustn't be something simple," Gu Chen thought to himself.

At the same time, besides his Heavenly Seed, this was Gu Chen's strongest trump card. Today's battle might have looked simple, but in truth, aside from his Heavenly Seed, Gu Chen had nearly pushed himself to his limit.

If it hadn't been for Zhen Yuan and the other two's decision to stand by and watch, with the combined strength of those Saint Sons, Gu Chen might not have been able to contend against so many.

Now, with the death of He Lianying and others, this Holy War could also be declared over.

The place was a sight of devastation, even the mountains had collapsed, indicative of the intensity of the battle.

"Brother Gu truly is extraordinary; all five Saint Sons have perished at your hand. If this news were to spread to the higher realms, it would surely cause an earthquake," Bai Jingyuan of the Cloud Heaven Palace said with a sigh, as he felt some relief for not having opposed Gu Chen.

Otherwise, he would have been another name on the list of the dead.

"Amitabha, does Lord Gu truly not consider ascending to the higher realm?" Su Nan of the Sumeru Buddhist Sect asked earnestly, looking intently at Gu Chen.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhen Yuan and Bai Jingyuan also fixed their burning gazes on Gu Chen.

This battle had deepened their respect for Gu Chen; anyone who wasn't a fool could see the extraordinary potential of Gu Chen.

"If Brother Gu is willing to ascend to the higher realm, surely the powers of various holy places will reach out to recruit you, and you may even have a great chance of becoming a direct disciple of a holy master," Bai Jingyuan said.

But after some contemplation, Gu Chen declined their invitation, saying, "Sorry, I have too many obsessions, I can't just leave like this."

He would definitely ascend to the higher realms one day, but not now, and he wouldn't join these holy places either.

After all, the mysterious gloves, the Heavenly Seed, and even the subsequent Nine Cauldrons, these all involved significant matters. If he were to brazenly join a holy place using his own identity, it's hard to ensure that nothing would happen.

One may not harbor ill intentions, but one cannot afford to be without precautions against others.

If it really came to that, by then, he would be like a fish on a chopping block, completely at others' mercy.

"It's such a pity," seeing Gu Chen's resolve, Bai Jingyuan and the others could only shake their heads and sigh.

At the same time, regarding the Heavenly Seed and the inheritance of the Nine Cauldrons, they never mentioned a word.

After all, they could all see that Gu Chen would never allow them to take away the Nine Cauldrons and cause the destruction of Da Xia; thus, bringing up the matter was completely pointless.

"We might stay in Da Xia for a little longer. If Brother Gu has any thoughts, feel free to contact us at any time."

"I advise Brother Gu that the fate of Da Xia has been sealed; it's difficult to defy destiny, it would be best to make plans early," Zhen Yuan and the others said as they led the direct descendants of their holy places away from the site.

Moreover, they were prepared to spread the news to the higher realms, and once this news spread there, it was bound to cause a series of earth-shattering ripples, stirring up the storm.

Perhaps, the name of Gu Chen would thus resound throughout the higher realms, becoming well-known to some.

"Once the news spreads, the faces of He Lianying and the others must be quite unsightly, hahahaha, it's rare to see them take a loss," Bai Jingyuan said, laughing heartily.

They were all from holy places, but that did not mean there was no competition among them; on the contrary, the struggles in the higher realms were even more intense!

Neither Zhen Yuan nor Su Nan spoke, but it was apparent from their expressions that they were in good spirits.

Once Zhen Yuan and the other two had left, Gu Chen's expression gradually turned icy as he looked towards Qian Ming, Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and the rest of the crowd.

Feeling Gu Chen's gaze sweep over them, they instantly trembled, their clothes already soaked with cold sweat.

They had thought about fleeing, but Gu Chen's aura had been locked onto them from start to finish, making it clear that anyone who dared to move would be the first to bear the brunt of Gu Chen's thunderous strike.

"Gu... Gu Chen... I advise you, don't be ruthless in your actions. If you kill us, the sacred lands will never let you off!"

"No... That's right, there's still time to turn back now. Don't make a mistake that will lead you to have nowhere to be buried!"

At this moment, Qian Ming and the others were shaking violently, making threats with a fierce exterior but a frail interior, barely completing their sentences. What they said was meant as a threat, but it sounded more like a plea for mercy to anyone listening.

"Gu Chen, no, Lord Gu, we have no grudges nor grievances. I haven't done anything; would it be alright to let me go?"

Some were smart enough to soften their stance, bowing and scraping to Gu Chen, hoping that he would show mercy and spare their lives.

But Gu Chen remained impassive and silent throughout, his attitude causing many hearts to quiver.

Letting them go? That was clearly impossible. Had he not shown such dominance today, the entirety of Jiuzhou would have been thrown into disarray by these people!

In Gu Chen's eyes, they were even more detestable than demons and ghosts!

"Henceforth, you shall atone for your sins."

As his words fell, the Heaven Snatching Earth Seizing Method was unleashed. Qian Ming, Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and the others cried out. They wanted to resist, but not even Fu Ling and the others were a match for Gu Chen now, let alone them.

Soon, all of these individuals fell into darkness, their consciousness obliterated, turning into Gu Chen's puppets, standing in neat rows behind him.

"The sacred lands that have reigned over Jiuzhou for tens of thousands of years, it's time for you to fall from the heavens!" Gu Chen's eyes blazed brilliantly, flames burning deep in his pupils.

Indeed, next, Gu Chen was preparing to attack the sacred lands, unleashing an upheaval in Jiuzhou not seen in tens of thousands of years!

The sacred lands had existed in Jiuzhou for countless years, surely hoarding many treasures and rare skills within.

From the moment the Vault of Sky Sword Sect bore a grudge against Gu Chen at Mount Tianzhu, it was destined that this day would come.

Meanwhile, within the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, the sect leader had also received news of the holy war coming to an end.

After all, this matter was of great importance, and all six sacred lands were paying close attention. They also knew that Gu Chen had been involved.

"A battle between figures of the holy progeny's level, it's a first indeed. What a pity not to have witnessed it firsthand, to behold the might of those of the holy progeny's level," lamented the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's leader. He then sneered coldly, "That Gu Chen from Da Xia really doesn't know whether he's alive or dead, even daring to participate in a battle of the holy progeny's level. It seems like without a tiger in the mountains, a monkey claims to be king. He fails to recognize his own limits and foolishly dreams of contending against those of the holy progeny's level, which is utterly ludicrous!

"Now that the fight is over, the place lies in ruins; Gu Chen's corpse must have long turned to bloody mud," added the elder who had brought the news.

The Vault of Sky Sword Sect's leader burst into laughter upon hearing this, clearly very pleased, "So that scourge is finally dead. I'm just curious to see who emerged as the victor of the holy war in the end."

At this moment, not just the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, but Mount Tianzhu and Burning Heaven Valley, these two sacred lands, had also received the news.

As for Gu Chen's "death," they were not particularly concerned because, to them, it was an inevitable event. The only thing that could draw their attention was the identity of the final victor of this holy war.

What these three sacred lands did not realize was that as they reveled in their complacency, a calamity of annihilation was also fast approaching.
