Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Boom!

Blinding light erupted, accompanied by a dragon's roar that shook the heavens and earth, as if the very world was about to flip over.

Had it not been for the protective array of the Tower Supervisor, this battle would have caused irreparable damage to Tiandu, just as King Huai had said, and countless people would have perished.

Roar!

A massive storm raged in the skies and the ground below, causing the very void to nearly shatter, revealing countless fine cracks.

Thud thud thud!

Subsequently, a figure kept retreating backward while his palms and fingers were tinged with traces of crystal-clear blood.

It was Gu Chen—he was injured!

Elsewhere, as the storm dissipated, the imposing figure of King Huai emerged, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"I told you, you're not up to par!" King Huai boasted, standing tall with an imposing stature, surrounded by golden imperial qi that made him look extraordinary, like an emperor.

He stood there with the manner of a superior being, looking down at Gu Chen!

No matter what, King Huai had reached the great completion of the Coagulation Field realm, and his martial talent was exceptional. Gu Chen had only broken into the mid-stage of the Coagulation Field realm not long ago, and indeed, he was at a disadvantage against King Huai.

Whir!

Gu Chen wasted no words. Facing the powerful King Huai, he immediately used the "Tai Xu Transformation Dragon Art," as if opening the gates to the immortal realm. Bursts of light poured down, and his power suddenly surged by a full fifteen percent!

"What is this?!"

At that moment, Lin Feng and others from the upper realm were shocked to see Gu Chen using the "Tai Xu Transformation Dragon Art."

Clearly, they recognized the origin of this martial art.

"How did he learn it?" Lin Feng and the others were puzzled, frowning deeply.

Meanwhile, seeing Gu Chen's sudden increase in combat power, King Huai had a flash of sharpness in his eyes, knowing that Gu Chen would not be so easy to deal with.

But that wasn't all; aside from the "Tai Xu Transformation Dragon Art," within the depths of the flesh in Gu Chen's left palm, a mysterious glove flickered with light as streams of pure energy flowed from his left hand, spreading throughout his body.

At this moment, Gu Chen's aura once again soared dramatically, startling everyone present.

"Is this the method he used to slay Chen Xuan?!" Lin Feng and the others wore extremely grave expressions, watching Gu Chen intently without blinking.

Even King Huai was surprised, as Gu Chen's aura was nearly on par with his own.

"Imperial Dragon Fist!"

King Huai shouted loudly, not wanting to give Gu Chen any more time to prepare. The golden imperial qi transformed into mighty dragons, menacing and ferocious, as they charged with King Huai toward Gu Chen.

In that moment, Gu Chen's hair danced wildly, his eyes sparkled brilliantly, and under the influence of the "Tai Xu Transformation Dragon Art" and the mysterious glove, his "Pure Yang Luili Body" reached an unprecedented level.

Scorching golden light enveloped every pore of Gu Chen's body, as though he were cast from gold, flawless and crystal-clear like Luili, and emitting a searing heat.

Hiss!

The next instant, a wisp of pale golden flame appeared at Gu Chen's fingertips, and although it was just a strand, it directly caused the surrounding void to collapse.

An immensely hot temperature suddenly burst forth, rapidly evaporating moisture in the air. Even Lin Feng and the others, who had reached the great completion of the Coagulation Field realm, could feel an intense heat, sweat appearing on their foreheads as if they were in a furnace.

Moreover, even though an array separated them, the appearance of the pale golden flame also affected those outside the array. The civil and military officials, along with the forces of Jing Tian Department, similarly felt scorching air hit their faces, causing a thirstiness in their mouths.

"Is this... a strand of true solar fire?!" Lin Feng and the others changed color and cried out in amazement.

"Just a barbarian from the lower realm's Nine States, how can he wield true solar fire?" Lin Feng clenched his fists. Both the potential of 'body becoming a realm' and the true solar fire before him made him very uncomfortable, his complexion turning ashen.

Yang Qian and Mo Lun were likewise unable to accept this fact. A native from the lower realm actually possessed methods they couldn't achieve, fueling the jealousy within their hearts.

As for King Huai, who was closer to Gu Chen, he too was shocked as he felt the intense heat first-hand. It felt as if he had plunged into a volcano, with a burning sensation all over his body.

Had he not relied on the "Heavenly Body Refining Martial Art- Imperial Dragon Battle Body," he wouldn't have been able to withstand such temperatures.

"Go!"

At that moment, Gu Chen flicked a finger and immediately, the strand of true solar fire detached from his fingertip and flew toward King Huai.

Wherever it passed, the void collapsed and the world burned, leaving a charred "path."

This was the power of true solar fire. Though only a strand and quite thin, not very pure, it still posed a terrifying force.

One could see this from the changing facial expressions of Lin Feng and the others; even coming from the upper realm, they still felt apprehensive of the fire's power, knowing the disastrous consequences of even a slight touch.

King Huai's pupils contracted. Faced with the incoming strand of true solar fire, he didn't even think before turning to dodge, like a mortal avoiding a snake, for to him, it was a great catastrophe.

Yet, the strand of true solar fire, originating from Gu Chen, followed his command, relentlessly pursuing King Huai, making all his efforts to dodge futile.
