Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 522 393: The Power of Heavenly Seed1

Gu Chen's black hair was disheveled, his body strong, still sared with bloodstains. His entire being blazed with an aura, standing there like a god or a demon, his eyes utterly cold.

Even the leader of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, a top grandmaster who had attained divine martial prowess, felt a genuine sense of horror upon this sight, his pupils contracting to the size of pinpoints.

This was astonishing!

A grandmaster in the Innate Realm had actually slain two top grandmasters in the divine martial realm—would anyone believe this if it were told?!

Moreover, the one who had accomplished all of this was rely a young man in his early twenties!

Disbelief, incredulity, shock, and horror were among the emotions that surfaced in the heart of the Sect Master from Refining Moon Demon Sect.

You Woji took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and began to reassess Gu Chen anew.

Gu Chen's tall figure stood there, silent, his chilling gaze alone exerting imnse pressure on You Woji.

This was sothing utterly inconceivable before!

No one had expected Gu Chen to have such a trick up his sleeve. Just now, had You Woji been closer, he too wouldn't have been able to block it, and his body would have burst open, dying alongside the Sixth Master and Seventh Master.

But what he didn't know was that this battle had also placed a great burden on Gu Chen. The Refining Spirit Secret was one of Gu Chen's last resorts, intended to wipe out all enemies at a crucial mont. Unfortunately, You Woji had always kept his distance, never engaging at close quarters.

Now that this move had been revealed You Woji, with his foreknowledge, was unlikely to confront Gu Chen directly.

"Co and et your death!" Gu Chen shouted coldly to You Woji.

Hum!

The Sect Master of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, had a black moon behind him that emitted a glow, enveloping him as if he feared Gu Chen would suddenly appear before him.

The lessons from the past were laid bare, and caution was his only recourse.

"Luckily, our Sect Master's wisdom and martial prowess kept a backup plan, or else today's battle might have ended in complete annihilation," You Woji sighed.

Of course, even with that said, including the recent deaths of the Sixth Master and Seventh Master, as well as the earlier victims of Gu Chen, the Six Union God Sect had suffered significant losses in Youzhou.

In fact, nearly all the losses the Sect had ever incurred since its inception could be traced back to Gu Chen.

No wonder the Solitary Sect Master, Dugu Yun, commanded they join forces to eliminate Gu Chen.

If Gu Chen were given enough ti to grow, who knew what threat he might pose to the Sect.

"The old Lord of Ling Yun Valley is here, isn't he? Let him show himself. Without him, you're no match for —I could kill you in three moves," Gu Chen spoke coldly.

"Arrogant!"

You Woji snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to approach. While three moves might have been an exaggeration, You Woji felt that facing the terrifying martial skill Gu Chen had just used, he truly might not be a match.

Even now, after a great battle, with injuries remained, it didn't make a difference.

"Lord Huo, only you can suppress this fiend," the Sect Master of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, said gravely.

"Very well."

An aged voice arose, and without a sound, an old man appeared at the site. His entire being exuded an intense aura, his gaze piercing as he looked at Gu Chen.

This man was the forr Lord of one of the four Valleys, Ling Yun Valley, a top grandmaster in the divine martial realm—Huo Ke!

"Lord Gu, to reach such a level at such a young age is beyond my imagination, and also, quite frankly, embarrassing for ," Huo Ke said, shaking his head. Instead of attacking imdiately, he genuinely praised Gu Chen first.

"Do you not feel ashad for betraying the Human Clan?" Gu Chen asked him coldly.

At this, Huo Ke laughed. His aged face broke into a rich smile as he said, "When have I ever betrayed the Human Clan?"

"Joining forces with the Demon Sect, rging with demons, isn't that a betrayal of the Human Clan?" Gu Chen's expression was indifferent.

Huo Ke shook his head and countered, "Who says rging with demons is a betrayal of the Human Clan? The great catastrophe of the nine states is imminent; I am just trying to survive. Besides, as long as my heart is with the Human Clan, no matter what I beco, I am of the Human Clan."

"Your heart is with the Human Clan? When you rge with demons, don't you do it to devour living beings? Wielding your butcher's knife against your own kind, and you still dare say your heart is with the Human Clan? Ridiculous!" Gu Chen frankly exposed him.

Huo Ke, however, remained unruffled and answered, "I am old, my limits are set; not wanting to die, I naturally have to find my own way. Besides, Lord Gu is exaggerating a bit. If I don't act, when the nine states' catastrophe descends, how many in this world can survive, anyway?"

With that, Huo Ke cracked a slight smile and said, "On the contrary, if I beco powerful enough, after the catastrophe, I might be able to preserve the essence of the Human Clan, wait for the right mont, and look for the day of resurgence.

Furthermore, as long as I don't forget that I am part of the Human Clan and pass on the culture and knowledge of our people, how can you say the Human Clan is destroyed, Lord Gu, do you agree with what I'm saying?"

Gu Chen looked at Huo Ke and sneered, "So you an to say, not only are you without fault, but you also have rit?"

"Precisely." Huo Ke shalessly nodded, continuing with a smile, "What I do is for my own sake, but also for the continuity of the Human Clan. As long as I live, it doesn't an the Human Clan has perished. A montary sacrifice is inevitable. You should understand this principle, Lord Gu, right?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "So be it. If I say, turn away from darkness to light, assist Da Xia, fight for my cause, and I can still allow you to live and pass through the nine states' catastrophe, would you be willing?"

Hearing this, Huo Ke didn't respond, but the Sect Master of the Refining Moon Demon Sect, You Woji, turned pale, fearing Huo Ke might turn traitor upon Lord Gu's words.

Fortunately, Huo Ke shook his head and said, "Lord Gu is not as strong as . How can I trust you? Plus, Lord Gu, you, and even all of Da Xia can't overco the hurdle of the Solitary Sect Master."

Gu Chen's expression remained impassive as he said, "So in the end, you are just greedy for life and afraid of death, coveting the power of demons, that's all."

"Lord Gu may think of it as he pleases, as long as I am clear in my conscience," Huo Ke said with a smile, unfazed.

Truly, this was an unscrupulous man who tried to justify his actions as justified and noble, seeking to clear his na in front of Gu Chen.

At this mont, Huo Ke continued, "It would truly be a pity if soone like Lord Gu, with such talent, strength, and yet so young, were to die. Why not join the Six Union God Sect and collaborate on great endeavors? I believe that with Lord Gu's talent and strength, the Solitary Sect Master will definitely not mistreat you."

The Refining Moon Demon Sect's Sect Master You Woji also spoke up, "Indeed, Gu Chen, there's still ti. If you are willing to join the Sect, I can speak to the Solitary Sect Master on your behalf. Perhaps the Sect Master might even et with you in person, bestow upon you god-like techniques, and perhaps even appoint you as a young master."

At this mont, both Huo Ke and You Woji were gazing intently at Gu Chen with gleaming eyes; if they could persuade Gu Chen to join the Six Union God Sect, it would be a great achievent.

"Bullshit!"

Gu Chen spoke coldly, "Everything I need, I will obtain on my own with my own two hands, without anyone else's charity!"

Join the demon sect, rge with demonic spirits? Of course, Gu Chen could never agree to such a thing!

He was of the Human Clan and could never beco one of those abominable half-human, half-demon creatures.

"Stupefied and stubborn."

"Incapable of appreciating kindness."

Huo Ke shook his head, while the Refining Moon Demon Sect's Sect Master You Woji's expression turned cold.

"Valley Master Huo, take action. Don't delay any longer; if this takes too long, even if we succeed in our task, the Sect Master will be displeased."

"Sigh."

With a long sigh, Huo Ke said, "Since that's the case, Lord Gu, for my own future as well as the future of Da Xia, I can only ask you to die."

Boom!

As soon as the words were spoken, Huo Ke's sleeves fluttered, and the mountains shook and the earth moved as Heavenly Earth Essence Qi surged explosively.

In that mont, Gu Chen felt an enormous sense of crisis. Huo Ke's strength must have reached the later stages of the Divine Realm; otherwise, he couldn't have imposed such an oppressive force on Gu Chen!

Hum!

The void trembled, and Heavenly Earth Essence Qi converged, forming a gigantic palm dozens of feet across in the sky, descending towards Gu Chen like a blanket intent on crushing him.

Facing this attack, every pore on Gu Chen's body stung with pain, and his brow throbbed with a dire premonition.

Without any hesitation, Gu Chen imdiately utilized the Refining Spirit Secret, pushing his combat capabilities to their limits.

"Oh? Quite impressive indeed," Huo Ke nodded, pointing a finger, and instantly the huge palm fla engulfed, setting ablaze all within a hundred feet. One could say everything was burning.

Gu Chen's eyes were resolute as he felt the boiling Great Day True Qi within him, and as his essence, energy, and spirit converged, he launched his ultimate strike.

"Pu!"

But Huo Ke's strength was too formidable, far surpassing Gu Chen. Even employing the Refining Spirit Secret and a high-grade divine weapon was not enough.

Furthermore, as the forr Valley Master of Ling Yun Valley, which, although not on par with the Six Great Holy Lands, still had access to a high-grade divine weapon.

"Lord Gu, stop struggling. You are no match for . If soone as old as I cannot defeat a re youngster like you, would my century of living not be in vain?"

With a light chuckle, Huo Ke pressed down with another palm. Without even using his divine intent, he was already close to killing Gu Chen.

"No other choice, I have to rely on you now." In the face of life and death, Gu Chen's expression beca calm as he closed his eyes and turned his gaze inward, towards himself.

Below Gu Chen's navel by three inches, at the body's golden ratio point, there lay a seed emitting a faint light, hovering there.

It was the Heavenly Seed!

Hum!

The Heavenly Seed, sensing Gu Chen's will, quivered slightly, and a ray of light flashed across its surface. Instantly, a tumultuous and surging power coursed through Gu Chen's limbs and into every part of his body.

Feeling unparalleled strength within, Gu Chen was still not fully satisfied. After slaying the Sixth Master and the Seventh Master, he had accumulated a total of two hundred twenty points of rit, which he now poured entirely into his cultivation base!

Boom!

In just an instant, Gu Chen's power soared to a trendous sixteen hundred years of cultivation, and his realm ascended directly to the peak of the Innate Realm.

Alas, the rit points were not enough. Otherwise, if he could have also brought the Refining Spirit Secret to completion, Gu Chen could have ascended on the spot to the Divine Realm and achieved the status of a top-tier great master.

Even so, the previously composed Huo Ke's face changed, feeling the explosive growth in Gu Chen's aura, which sent shivers down his spine.

As for the Refining Moon Demon Sect's Sect Master You Woji, he was already shocked into a stupor. The oppressive aura emanating from Gu Chen was overpowering; one strike seed enough to end his life, leaving nothing behind.

At this critical mont, sixteen hundred years of cultivation elevated Gu Chen's power to the absolute zenith of the Innate Realm in Da Xia. It was a myth-like figure, unprecedented and likely unrepeatable.

In the entire history of Da Xia, only Gu Chen had accumulated sixteen hundred years of Innate True Qi in the Innate Realm!

Moreover, with the added power of the Heavenly Seed, at this mont, Gu Chen was a terror at so ultimate extre, causing even Huo Ke, a renowned top-tier great master with a long-standing reputation, to turn pale.

Boom!

Now, Gu Chen, like lightning, streaked across the sky, reaching Huo Ke in the blink of an eye.

As if a true dragon soared through the heavens, Gu Chen's foot drove straight towards Huo Ke's face!
