Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 496 373: The Late Stage of the Innate Realm (Third U

"You are..." Governor of Youzhou, Liang Zhao looked at the tall figure before him with surprise, and from the side, he saw a young and handso face.

Such strength, and so young, a na naturally erged in the heart of Governor Liang Zhao of Youzhou.

"You're Lord Gu Chen from Jing Tian Departnt of Tiandu?!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the room was startled, and they looked at the figure in front of Liang Zhao with so doubtful surprise.

"Lord Gu Chen has co?"

"Is this our Da Xia's Marquess of Wu'an, the now-famous Butcher known throughout the martial world? He's too young!"

"We're saved, Youzhou is saved!"

The soldiers, including the many commanders from the Jing Tian Departnt of Youzhou, had their originally morose expressions instantly wiped away upon seeing that Tiandu had sent Gu Chen here, replaced by expressions of excitent.

After all, the na Gu Chen now resounded throughout the world; in all the nine provinces of the land, there was no one who did not know of him.

One could even say that now, Gu Chen's fa was deafening!

"Quick, save the people!"

At this mont, Governor Liang Zhao of Youzhou exclaid lightly, startling everyone out of their excitent.

At the mont, the Sky-rank Commander of Youzhou's Jing Tian Departnt, He Yan, lay on the ground unconscious, life or death unknown, and upon hearing the order, people quickly ran over to check his condition.

"Lord Gu, these are two Disaster Level demons, with cunning thods, and are said to be unkillable; please be extrely careful!" Liang Zhao said to Gu Chen's back with a grave tone.

Gu Chen was strong, but the Disaster Level demons were not weak. Each one was a match for a martial arts grandmaster at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm of all nine provinces and possessed an undying body. Liang Zhao was not as optimistic as others thought that Gu Chen could certainly handle them.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded lightly. With his back to Liang Zhao, he said, "Thanks for the advice, my lord. Rest assured, I've already encountered one Disaster Level demon on my way here and have slain it. I am very clear about their thods."

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhao was imdiately startled in his heart and before he could say anything further, Gu Chen had already charged forward.

"Look quick, Lord Gu has made his move!"

Now, every action of Gu Chen was holding the attention of countless onlookers, for if Gu Chen were defeated today, they would all die here.

"Roar!"

At this mont, the two Disaster Level demons roared in anger. It was clear that their prey had slipped away and Gu Chen had provoked their wrath. With their roar, a black gale blew up in the area.

The cold force swept through the mountainous region, shaking every person other than Gu Chen to their core, bringing a chill that seed to penetrate into their very bones.

"You still dare to be fierce?"

Gu Chen's expression was calm, his eyes shining with a cold light, his black hair cascading down to his waist. His blood-red garnts were roiling as if he were a furnace radiating astonishing heat.

Boom!

Surging sounds like tsunamis ca from Gu Chen's body, the sound of his thousand-year-old Great Day True Qi flowing through his limbs and bones.

Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic!

With a buzzing sound, Gu Chen's body surface radiated a blinding light, as if he were the sun itself, instantly dispelling the heavy coldness of the area, warming up everyone from Da Xia and dissipating their discomfort.

"So powerful... Is this the number one martial prodigy of the nine provinces?" People murmured, unable to help themselves as they looked at Gu Chen's figure, as if they were looking at a deity.

At such an age, to have such strength, it was not too much to say he was the reincarnation of a divine being!

"Ao!"

This extrely fiery power was disagreeable to the two Disaster Level demons. They howled and their wings flashed, turning into two dark shadows that reached Gu Chen in an instant.

A piercing Gang Wind faced him, as sharp as knives, and as the wings of the two Disaster Level demons flapped, a storm arose, covering the sky and earth, imdiately causing nurous cracks on the ground of the mountain region.

Boom!

In the next instant, a thunderous noise burst forth like a volcanic eruption. The pale golden Great Day True Qi from Gu Chen's body shot towards the sky, like a great sun rising from the sea level, its light intense and purifying all things in the world!

"Ao!"

As Gu Chen clenched his five fingers into a fist, a massive, regal dragon appeared, its scales shimring with a cold light, seeming as real as any celestial spirit descending from the heavens.

"Go!"

With a swing of Gu Chen's fist, the dragon that was like a celestial spirit lunged forward.

Bang!

The void trembled, and the entire mountainous region undulated. So parts could not withstand the trendous force and a hundred feet of the ground split open, with dust clouds rushing towards the sky.

"Retreat quickly!"

The battle scene between Gu Chen and the two Disaster Level demons was too terrifying. Instantly, the soldiers and officers from Youzhou's Jing Tian Departnt and the city all retreated rapidly with horror-stricken faces.

Clang clang clang!

One after another, sounds of tal clashing rang continuously as the two Disaster Level demons and the dragon unleashed by Gu Chen engaged in fierce battle midair, sending sparks flying in every direction.

Swish!

At this mont, Gu Chen soared into the sky. He executed the LingXu Nine Steps, and in an instant, the Great Day True Qi in his body contained transformations of eighteen kinds of forces. Gu Chen stepped through the air, directly shattering one of the Disaster Level demons' bodies.

With a bang, like a porcelain object, the body of the demon shattered upon impact, exploding into countless tiny fragnts.

Hum!

But at this mont, the soul crystal that belonged to the Disaster Level Demon Ghost's power core began emitting a dark and profound light, signaling its imminent resurrection!

Gu Chen, naturally, would never allow it to reerge. With a thunderous boom, he raised his hand and struck with his palm, the pale golden Great Day True Qi transforming into a giant fla dragon, that opened its great maw and directly swallowed the soul crystal whole, beginning the process of slting.

"Awoo!"

An extrely mournful howl echoed throughout this realm, causing people standing hundreds of yards away to shudder with palpitations.

"To think that the gap in strength could be so vast between Grandmasters of the Innate Realm?"

At that mont, an officer from Jing Tian Departnt of Youzhou couldn't help whispering under his breath, causing the colleagues around him to shoot a glance at him upon hearing his words.

He instantly realized he had misspoken and quickly glanced behind him. Fortunately, He Yan was still unconscious, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a streak of sword light flashed across space and ti, and the other Disaster Level Demon Ghost was also bisected with a single strike of Pure Yang Sword Aura wielded by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was quick to act. Just as this soul crystal attempted to soar into the sky, he extended his five fingers, with profound energy, as if they were five heavenly pillars, imdiately capturing the soul crystal, which contained all the power of the Disaster Level Demon Ghost, firmly in his grasp.

Boom!

The blisteringly hot Great Day True Qi began to burn fiercely in the palm of Gu Chen, as he refined the soul crystal, completely incinerating all the vital energy that belonged to the Demon Ghost.

In just a brief mont, the two Disaster Level Demon Ghosts that could have brought irreparable harm to the entirety of Yan State were completely eradicated by Gu Chen.

Through this battle, the troops of Youzhou were given the most direct experience of Gu Chen's terrifying power.

Gu Chen flipped his palm and stored the two soul crystals, not choosing to absorb them imdiately in front of everyone.

"It is thanks to Lord Gu arriving tily that today, the entire city of Youzhou has been spared from destruction. Lord Gu's actions in this battle are of imasurable rit, having saved countless common folk of Youzhou City."

Seeing the great battle concluded, the troops of Youzhou, led by Governor Liang Zhao, hurriedly approached Gu Chen.

The Governor of Youzhou, Liang Zhao, even offered Gu Chen a deep bow with clasped hands in gratitude.

"You flatter , Governor. Slaying demons is my duty; there really is no need for such formalities." Gu Chen reached out, helping the deeply bowed Governor straighten up.

"Many thanks, Lord Gu, for your assistance!" At this mont, the people of Youzhou were clearly exhilarated, their gazes fixed intently on Gu Chen.

Nowadays, Gu Chen was the idol of many across the lands of Shen Zhou; his journey to power was nothing short of legendary.

In just two years, he went from a nobody to his current position, an extrely rare feat indeed.

"I am Liang Zhao, the Governor of Youzhou. This is He Yan, the only Grandmaster of the Jing Tian Departnt currently in the Innate Realm." Liang Zhao said.

Gu Chen glanced at the unconscious He Yan, stepped forward, and gently placed a palm on the man's wrist. Streams of incredibly pure Great Day True Qi flowed from Gu Chen into He Yan, and his complexion visibly improved at the speed visible to the naked eye.

"Many thanks, Lord Gu!" Upon witnessing this, the officers of Jing Tian Departnt quickly bowed with clasped fists, expressing their gratitude to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded slightly. Had it not been for He Yan's fight to the death, they truly would not have been able to await Gu Chen's arrival.

"Lord Gu, Shen Zhou is a long distance from Youzhou, and you have experienced a great battle upon your arrival, which must have been exhausting. After I return, I will imdiately prepare a banquet, not only to thank you for your tily arrival today but also to welco Lord Gu to Youzhou," said Liang Zhao warmly.

"No need for a banquet, I require a quiet place," Gu Chen said, waving his hand to decline Liang Zhao's kind offer.

He was in no mood for such things; at the mont, the rit points on his panel had once again surged, and Gu Chen was fully focused on breaking through to a higher level of cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Liang Zhao did not insist. After returning to Youzhou City, he found a secluded chamber within Jing Tian Departnt for Gu Chen.

"It seems that slaying Disaster Level Demon Ghosts does indeed yield a more abundant harvest."

On his journey thus far, counting the two just now, Gu Chen had slain a total of three Disaster Level Demon Ghosts, each providing him with over ninety points of rit, amounting to nearly three hundred points in total for just three Demon Ghosts.

In addition, Gu Chen had also slain many Disaster Level Demon Ghosts in passing, further contributing so rit points to his total.

The once depleted rit points on his panel were now once again abundant.

One could say that his trip to Youzhou had been rather fruitful.

And his cultivation, which had stagnated for several months, was about to breakthrough once again.

Hum!

The next instant, as Gu Chen's thoughts moved, the four hundred thirty points of rit vanished from the panel, and within his body suddenly surged an additional two hundred fifteen years of power.

"I've finally broken through!"

Feeling the increase of power within his body, Gu Chen's fra shook. At this mont, his cultivation had reached an astonishing one thousand two hundred fifteen years, and along with it, his realm broke through to the late stage of the Innate Realm!

anwhile, during the period of Gu Chen's seclusion, a piece of news also made its way into the Jing Tian Departnt, causing Liang Zhao's expression to change imdiately.

According to Jing Tian Departnt's intelligence, they had located the hiding spot of a Law-Enforcing Elder of the Six Union God Sect!
