Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Chen's words rang with resolution, firm and decisive. Although there were only eight characters, they stunned even Great Powers, as heaven and earth trembled and the void echoed continuously!

It really was too astonishing; countless onlookers were dumbfounded.

"Did I... Did I hear wrong? Gu Bai wants to challenge ten Heaven Realm Great Powers alone?!"

Many trembled, even shook, feeling like they were hearing something as fantastical as a fairy tale!

It was simply too incredible to believe. A not yet thirty-year-old Huanxu Realm cultivator actually wanted to challenge ten Great Powers?

Not even in their dreams would they dare to do such a thing, and even the strongest geniuses of the upper realms found it difficult to accomplish!

If Gu Chen truly succeeded, it wouldn't just be shocking, or a miracle to describe it, but a divine act!

At this moment, the ten Great Powers from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan who heard Gu Chen's words also had extremely solemn expressions, feeling insulted.

But soon, those from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty reacted with a cold laugh and said, "Since you seek death, we shall grant it to you!"

After all, the challenge was proposed by Gu Chen himself, and Qingyun Academy had nothing to say about it.

"Fine, let's send you on your way!" Jiunan, a Great Power of the Jiuying Clan, also shouted sternly.

Seeing this, Cui Ji and others, alongside Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu, were immediately filled with extreme worry.

However, Gu Chen remained calm. Of course, he couldn't defeat the joint forces of ten Great Powers, even with two fifth-grade divine powers.

But don't forget, he still had one great weapon in his hand—the long-silent Source Ice Breath!

With Gu Chen's current strength, and his control over the divine cauldron, he was fairly confident that he could rely on the Source Ice Breath to slay the ten Great Powers including Jiunan in front of him!

At that time, it would surely pierce the heavens, and the deeds here might spread across the three thousand six hundred realms of the upper worlds!

But Gu Chen didn't think there was anything to it. After all, with the opposition being so aggressive, in his view, they were courting death.

"Gu Bai, calm down!" Cui Ji stepped forward, frowning in admonition.

Those were ten Great Powers; how could Gu Chen possibly overcome them? No one believed he could!

"Brother, you've heard it too. The requirements were set by him, they have nothing to do with us!" Jiunan and the other ten people sneered coldly, their eyes frosty to the extreme.

If they couldn't take down Gu Chen under these circumstances, they would feel like trash, ready to dash their heads against a wall!

"Excellent! It's rare to see such spirit in a disciple of Qingyun Academy. Of course, I must support him!"

At this time, at the gate of Qingyun Academy, a flash of light appeared, and an elder emerged—it was Master Zhou, whom Gu Chen knew.

"A titan?!"

Upon seeing Master Zhou, the expressions of the ten Great Powers from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan changed, but they quickly regained their composure.

Because, this time, they too had a titan-level figure in attendance!

The next moment, the void rippled, and an imperial uncle from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, as well as a clan elder from the Jiuying Clan, appeared. They were, along with Qingyun Academy's Master Zhou, titan-level figures of the upper realms!

Seeing these two individuals, Cui Ji and the other members of Qingyun Academy paled, realizing that the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan were determined to take Gu Chen away this time.

But Master Zhou remained unperturbed, clearly having anticipated this. With an ancient countenance, he smiled faintly and said to the two, "My fellow Daoists, Gu Bai's words have been spoken, and Qingyun Academy will not say much more. Let's have him battle the ten Great Powers to decide the final outcome, shall we?"

"Agreed!"

"No problem!"

The imperial uncle from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the clan elder from the Jiuying Clan naturally had no reason to disagree.

Master Zhou nodded and said, "In that case, let's suppress their cultivation to the same realm as Gu Bai's."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, individuals from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan immediately showed signs of unrest.

Seeing this, Master Zhou feigned surprise and said, "What's the matter, do my fellow Daoists not dare? Or do you think that even ten Great Powers together might still be defeated?"

"There was no such condition mentioned before!" the imperial uncle from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty said coldly.

"But neither was it said that it wasn't permissible, right?" Master Zhou retorted, his gaze turning increasingly stern as a daunting presence began to emanate from him.

This intangible aura was palpable only to those of the same tier, causing both the imperial uncle of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and Master Su of the Jiuying Clan to feel a chill in their hearts.

This pressure, even for two titans of the Heaven Realm working together, was somewhat difficult to bear!

The terrifying level of cultivation of the elder before them was alarming.

"Or do you really wish to start a war with Qingyun Academy?" Master Zhou's aura grew stronger, yet only the two titans from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan could sense it.

At this moment, they were subdued, their expressions extremely grave, considering whether to engage in war with Qingyun Academy. It was not something they had truly prepared for.

Yet, if they were to give up and retreat in utter defeat, that was naturally unacceptable to them.

"Fine, if that's the case, we will engage in a battle on equal realms!" The two titans exchanged glances and spoke with a heavy tone.

They refused to believe that ten Great Powers acting in concert would not be able to defeat Gu Chen.

Even if their realms were suppressed, Great Powers were still Great Powers, with a vision and experience that was far beyond. Even in the same realm, their understanding of power application, the purity of energy within their bodies, and the depth of their skills were not something that a Huanxu Realm cultivator like Gu Chen could match!

Not to mention, they too could use divine powers, and though greatly suppressed, they would be roughly equivalent to an eighth-grade divine power. In the eyes of the two titans, that should still be enough to suppress Gu Chen.

"Very well!"
