Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1242 - 218: Birth of the Qualification Token

Chapter 1242: Chapter 218: Birth of the Qualification Token

Behind Gu Chen, myriad beams of light were dazzling. In midair, a colossal pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth, and within it, an ancient token bobbed up and down.

It was none other than the qualification token to enter the core of the Sacred Realm!

Only by possessing this qualification token could one ultimately pass the selection competition and enter into the true war among the Ten Thousand Tribes.

It could be said that this was extremely important!

Immediately, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who saw this from afar rushed forward without hesitation, and the slaughter began once again.

Gu Chen looked back and found that Jin Ju and the others had taken the opportunity to flee far away, leaving two forbidden artifacts on the spot to block him.

It was clear they were quite resolute; without the hindrance of these two forbidden artifacts, Gu Chen could have easily caught up with them.

However, escaping the palm of his hand was not going to be that easy.

"Freeze!"

With a light shout from Gu Chen, the fleeing He Lan from the Palace of Nine Heavens slowed for an instant. Her face filled with terror as an invisible fluctuation spread around her, immobilizing her on the spot.

Seeing this, the remaining few, including Jin Ju and including the man from the Palace of Nine Heavens, He Lan’s senior brother, hesitated for just a moment before they turned and retreated.

After all, they were not capable of dealing with the forbidden artifacts in Gu Chen’s hands.

"Senior brother!"

Seeing her own senior brother abandon her, He Lan’s pupils dilated as she screamed in her heart.

Gu Chen approached He Lan as if strolling leisurely, and within moments, he was in front of her. The invisible fluctuation that held her also vanished, and He Lan found that she could move again.

"Die!"

The moment her ability to move was restored, He Lan shouted angrily, employing the skills of the Palace of Nine Heavens to attack Gu Chen.

Smack!

Without hesitation, Gu Chen struck back with his hand, swift as lightning, and slapped He Lan so hard that one side of her fair cheek swelled up.

"You..."

Smack!

Furious, He Lan was about to speak again, but Gu Chen’s hand moved once more, his slap causing the other cheek to swell up as well.

"Now it’s symmetrical," Gu Chen nodded, satisfied with his handiwork.

"Gu Bai, you’re too presumptuous!" As a woman, her face now resembled that of a swollen pig’s head, and He Lan could truly be said to hate Gu Chen to death.

Yet even now, she was still threatening Gu Chen instead of choosing to submit.

"I am a disciple of the Nine Heavens Palace, an immortal lineage. Do you realize what you’re doing? I advise you to let me go, or this won’t end here. My senior brothers will not let you off!" He Lan suppressed the severe pain in her cheeks, her speech slightly muffled and unclear.

Gu Chen remained silent, his expression serene. With the qualification token’s emergence, he had no time to waste here with He Lan.

"Your journey ends here!"

With a lofty declaration, Gu Chen made his move. Accompanied by a golden halo, he punched with a fist seal, and the roar of a true dragon resonated through heaven and earth.

"No—"

He Lan cried out. Her eyes wide with fear, her body trembling, and deep regret apparent in her gaze, it was already too late.

Beneath Gu Chen’s punch, He Lan’s brow was pierced through, and she died on the spot, her soul annihilated.

After killing He Lan, Gu Chen took the storage artifacts from her body, then in a flash, he sped towards the location where the qualification token had appeared.

As for Jin Ju and the others, since they were all within this realm, there would eventually be another opportunity to encounter them.

"To the death!"

At this moment, more than a hundred thousand cultivators were once again embroiled in a chaotic battle, roaring as they approached the column of light that spanned the expanse between heaven and earth.

They had come here for what? Wasn’t it the war among the Ten Thousand Tribes?

Now, with the opportunity before them, nobody was willing to back down, even in the face of life and death.

The surging murderous aura and the raging power of tens of thousands gathered together, forming a truly astonishing scene.

Even the Palace of Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the members of the Golden Roc Clan had avoided such brazen confrontation without the aid of Innate Treasure level forbidden artifacts in their possession.

More than a hundred thousand cultivators banding together could make even the Great Powers of the Earth realm exercise caution, let alone the six, including Jin Ju, who were only at the early stage of the Union realm.

"The qualification token!"

Gu Chen’s figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared near the pillar of light. Seeing him appear, the cultivators engaged in the chaotic fight suddenly felt a pause in their actions.

The group had clearly witnessed the scene of Gu Chen standing off against and even overpowering Jin Ju and his companions just moments ago.

Not to mention his personal strength, his mere ability to resist an Innate Treasure was enough to make many present fear him.

"Let’s join forces and kill him!" someone in the crowd bellowed, stirring the cultivators to action and encouraging them to collaborate.

"A rare opportunity like this, with so many of us working together, what can he do with an Innate Treasure? He is just one man, and with his cultivation level, how many times can he use it?" another person chimed in, feeding the fervor.

This statement did indeed move many hearts. Compared with the six people led by Jin Ju, Gu Chen was alone.

It is true that an Earth realm cultivator wielding an Innate Treasure could unleash tremendous power, but the consumption was also significant.

In an instant, the eyes of countless people there turned eager and filled with intense killing intent towards Gu Chen.

Gurgle!

But at that moment, Gu Chen, expressionless, extended his finger and flicked lightly in the air twice. Suddenly, two cultivators in the crowd, eyes wide with shock, fell dead, their bodies toppling over backward.

It was those two who had been whispering in the shadows, inciting the crowd to unite against Gu Chen.
