Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 503 379: The True Meaning of Communing with God (Thr

"You, a junior, dare to oppose ? I think you're tired of living!"

Xiahou Longyuan's face was cold and stern, his eyes full of malice. His clothes rustled in the fierce wind, and at this mont, he was furious, slamming a palm toward Gu Chen across the distance.

"Everyone has been young and rash, but you need to consider who you're up against. Today, I shall show you what it ans to be a martial god!"

With a booming sound, Xiahou Longyuan's palm struck out, and the air in front of him exploded, even dispersing the clouds. His palm strike was fierce and contained a biting cold, imdiately forming a layer of ice crystals in the air.

"A martial god? You are no longer the top grandmaster of martial gods!"

Gu Chen's expression indifferent, counterattacked with a palm strike, his palm force as scorching as fire, completely opposite to Xiahou Longyuan's, it could even be described as directly clashing.

Boom!

The world shook, the void trembled, and the powers of ice and fire intertwined, resembling the two extres of yin and yang, creating a terrifying fluctuation.

Luckily, this was in the sky; otherwise, the impact of their strikes would have caused untold destruction, likely obliterating much of the landscape below.

"You think too little of a martial god. Do you really believe I can't touch you just because you possess a Superior God Weapon Jade Necklace?"

Xiahou Longyuan's hair and beard stood on end, glaring at Gu Chen with a furious roar that was so intense it blasted the air away, sending waves of white surging around him.

At this mont, Gu Chen's heart tightened; it felt as though thousands of needles pierced his brain simultaneously.

Gu Chen frowned, grunting, as the top grandmaster's intangible and unpredictable ntal attack of a martial god was very difficult to defend against, even for soone as perceptive as Gu Chen.

"This is the gap between you and . With the power of my mind, I can control your life and death in an instant!"

Xiahou Longyuan shouted, "I'll give you a chance, submit to , submit to the Six Union God Sect, and I shall spare you today!"

"Submit to you and the Six Union God Sect?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly looked up, his expression cold as he spoke, "Nothing but a bunch of evil spirits that can't stand the light of day. One day, I will eradicate all you devils, leaving not one behind!"

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing these words, Xiahou Longyuan did not get angry but burst into laughter, as if he'd heard a very amusing joke.

"You want to destroy the Six Union God Sect?" Xiahou Longyuan stopped laughing, his gaze dark and foreboding as he glared at Gu Chen. "Let tell you, everything is predestined. No one can change the fate of the nine provinces. In the future, the nine provinces will be ours. Once rged with the demons and ghosts, we shall be undying and limitless, transcending the Human Clan.

We will be the creators of a new era for the nine provinces!"

By the end, Xiahou Longyuan sounded increasingly excited, much like the brainwashed salespeople Gu Chen had encountered in his past life, even appearing sowhat fanatical in his gaze.

"Creators of a new era?" Gu Chen sneered, "They're nothing but pitiful creatures, half-human half-demon. You dare to call yourselves gods? As a mber of the Human Clan who has willingly fallen and fused with demons, becoming an abomination and even losing the very humanity you were born with, you are nothing but beasts to . No, you are even less than beasts!"

"How presumptuous!"

A fierce light flashed in Xiahou Longyuan's eyes as he retorted, "What do you know, you little upstart? It is only by forsaking humanity can one obtain divinity and beco a true immortal... a deity!"

Gu Chen's expression was icy, slightly frowning. He knew Xiahou Longyuan was completely brainwashed—or, not exactly brainwashed, perhaps after witnessing the abilities of dark-grade demons and considering his own age and the current state of affairs, he naturally aspired for more.

Moreover, many other warriors in the nine provinces would make the sa choice as Xiahou Longyuan, for the benefits of rging with demons were imnse, such as everlasting life and an unlimited path in martial arts, both extrely enticing prospects.

But in Gu Chen's eyes, there was no such thing as a free lunch. He did not believe that rging with demons ca without its own hidden dangers.

Furthermore, to abandon one's humanity and degenerate into a ghost was not what Gu Chen pursued.

"Go beco a god in hell!"

To Gu Chen, Xiahou Longyuan was already beyond reason. He chose not to argue further and instead, with a flicker of movent, activated LingXu Nine Steps, charging forward to engage Xiahou Longyuan in close combat, bringing his greatest advantage into play.

"Roar!"

But the next mont, Xiahou Longyuan let out a roar, his ntal energy piercing toward Gu Chen's head, aiming to destroy his spirit.

Fortunately, Gu Chen was protected by the Superior God Weapon Jade Necklace and the Earth Grade Refining Spirit Secret, so Xiahou Longyuan's ntal attack did not cause as much damage as he'd expected, unable to completely erase Gu Chen or even make him lose his combat ability.

"Kill!"

In that mont, Gu Chen let out a cold shout. With a flick of his finger, a Pure Yang Sword Aura shot out, its fierce energy seeming capable of splitting heaven and earth.

"Roar!"

At the sa ti, Gu Chen employed the Eight Heavenly Dragons technique. A heavenly dragon appeared around him, swaying as he swung his fists. Each of Gu Chen's punches weighed tens of thousands of pounds, collapsing the void as if to shatter the very skies.

The might and physique Gu Chen possessed imposed a great pressure on Xiahou Longyuan, causing him a mix of shock and rage. With his experience, it was unthinkable for soone to reach such a level at the Pre-natal Realm.

This was beyond all reason!

In Xiahou Longyuan's view, although Gu Chen's overall strength was not quite that of a top grandmaster of martial gods, it wasn't far off.

What Gu Chen mainly lacked was the thod of ntal strength; in all other aspects, be it physique, cultivation level, or martial skills, he was not far behind a top grandmaster of martial gods.

"Cold Wave Icy Cloud!"

At that mont, Xiahou Longyuan's eyes widened as he engaged in close combat with Gu Chen, feeling as if his palms might shatter. He employed the Xiahou clan's most famous Earthly Martial Skill.

The icy blue aura seed capable of freezing heaven and earth, and as Xiahou Longyuan thrust his palms forward, a large cloud-shaped palm force assaulted Gu Chen with many tis the power than when Xiahou Yuan employed the sa technique.

The bone-chilling aura invaded, but Gu Chen's expression remained stern. His eyes bright and his eyebrows like drawn swords, he activated the Earth Grade Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic. With over twelve hundred years' worth of cultivation erupting from within him, a great sun erged around him, radiating intense light that rendered all the chilling energy void.

Hum!

With Gu Chen's palms coming together in a fierce clap, a resounding snap echoed as countless rays of light burst forth from around his body, sparkling and shimring, purifying all things in the world.

This was the power of the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic!

"Ah..."

At close range, Xiahou Yuan was struck by this scorching aura, emitting a loud cry as he swiftly retreated backwards.

"How can soone so young possess so many Earthly Martial Skills?!"

This was sothing that even Xiahou Yuan, once a martial arts prodigy and the forr patriarch of the Xiahou family, found utterly unbelievable.

Even if Gu Chen had begun training from the womb, there was no reasonable explanation for his comprehension of so many Earthly Martial Skills at his young age.

"The Six Union God Sect aims to unite the nine provinces, and this boy will definitely beco a grave concern for the sect!"

Xiahou Yuan's heart chilled. He knew he had underestimated Gu Chen. No wonder Gu Chen was so confident, daring to co directly to the Xiahou family's door previously, knowing he was there and wanting to conduct a search.

"Even though my realm has fallen, Once, I was a top martial arts expert who had reached godly enlightennt. Today, I will slay you here and eliminate any future trouble!"

Xiahou Yuan roared in fury. Suddenly, a flash of light blinked at his forehead, the concentration of his divine sense, turning into an invisible ray, parting the void itself, which made way for it. This divine sense, sharp as a drill bit, aid straight for Gu Chen's mind.

In an instant, although Gu Chen couldn't see it, his instincts scread warnings at him. There was no evading it; after all, divine sense was intangible and incredibly fast, not sothing that a flesh and blood body could dodge.

Hum!

At that mont, Gu Chen pushed the Superior God Weapon Jade Necklace around his neck to its current limit, and the sa went for the Refining Spirit Secret. In this state, his spirit had never been more focused. Gu Chen felt a throbbing at his forehead, as if sothing was about to burst forth.

"Hm?!"

As sharp as Xiahou Yuan was, he imdiately noticed the changes happening to Gu Chen and his face changed color on the spot.

The first step in condensing divine sense is to let one's invisible spirit "break out" into the external world, capable of influencing matter with spirit.

After the spirit continues to condense and reaches an extre, it can transform into divine sense, which can affect everything in a mont's thought.

To experience martial arts enlightennt is to use the intangible divine sense to influence the tangible outside world. When reaching the profound levels, one could even commune more deeply with the great forces of nature and harness greater power from it.

This is the true aning of martial arts enlightennt, and it also lays the foundation for martial artists to attain the Coagulation Field realm. Without a powerful divine sense, this step would be absolutely unattainable.

The process of refining divine sense is exceptionally difficult; Xiahou Yuan had spent over a decade and countless elixirs and opportunities to successfully condense his divine sense.

And now, Gu Chen, being so young, was seemingly about to take the first step in condensing divine sense—how could Xiahou Yuan not be astonished?

"Kill!"

Xiahou Yuan bellowed, his current full-powered divine sense strike, sharp as a drill bit, instantly piercing into Gu Chen's mind.

In that mont, Gu Chen couldn't help but tremble, and faintly, a trickle of blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

After all, Xiahou Yuan had once been a top grandmaster who had experienced martial arts enlightennt. Even though he was now gravely injured and his strength had waned, his divine sense remained, still capable of exercising the authority of a top grandmaster in the realm of enlightennt.

However, Gu Chen's spirit was resilient, and with the protection of the Superior God Weapon Jade Necklace and the Earth Grade Refining Spirit Secret, Xiahou Yuan's attack only managed to injure him, unable to go any further.

Seeing that his strongest strike could only injure Gu Chen and not kill him, Xiahou Yuan's pupils contracted as his expression changed.

"Your ti has co!"

Gu Chen's expression was cold and indifferent, his black hair disheveled, his face tinged with streaks of blood, as he stepped forward in the void like a devil approaching Xiahou Yuan.

Throughout Xiahou Yuan's life, aside from his encounter with the Chief of the Mingjing Departnt more than twenty years ago, he had never been pushed to such a dire situation.

The Chief of the Mingjing Departnt need not be ntioned, as they were a peerless powerhouse in the Coagulation Field realm, vastly superior to Xiahou Yuan.

But Gu Chen was different in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, who was simply a young man in his early twenties. With his pride, he refused to believe that he would be defeated by Gu Chen.

"If I were still at the peak of the enlightennt realm, I would kill you with a flip of my hand!" Xiahou Yuan clenched his teeth, his gaze sinister beyond asure.

This was the hatred of his life; toward the Chief of the Da Xia Mingjing Departnt, Xiahou Yuan's resentnt reached extre levels.

"Too bad, you're not!"

Gu Chen stopped where he was, flipping his hand, and a fiery red spear appeared in his grasp.

"You... what is this...?"

Seeing this mysterious technique, Xiahou Yuan's pupils instantly constricted.

Since Gu Chen had used such a divine ability before him, he clearly had no intention of letting Xiahou Yuan leave here alive.

"Die!"

As Gu Chen's words fell, flas enveloped the spear in his hand. Then, with a forceful thrust of his arm, Gu Chen hurled the fiery spear forth.

Shhh!

Like a teor of flas, the spear turned into a blazing light, fleeting across the sky. To Xiahou Yuan's astonished gaze, it pierced through his chest!
