Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 1245: Chapter 220: Selection Contest Concludes

At that moment, although Ge Xiong felt a formidable chill in his heart, Gu Chen’s act of killing Zhou You right in front of him was undoubtedly a provocation!

Boom!

Ge Xiong hesitated no more and chose to make his move. He reached out with his palm, aiming to capture Gu Chen.

"Star Touch!"

Between his fingers, starlight spread, dazzling and imposing, carrying a fearsome aura.

At the same time, Ge Xiong was secretly on guard, ready to respond if Gu Chen were to use a congenital spiritual treasure.

"Somewhat skilled."

Feeling Ge Xiong’s palm strike, Gu Chen slightly nodded, showing some appreciation for his strength.

Among all the cultivators Gu Chen had encountered, Ge Xiong’s strength was definitely among the top.

However, this act was perceived as an insult by Ge Xiong.

After all, Gu Chen was merely a minor cultivator in the Huanxu Realm, far inferior to him in terms of cultivation. Such approval, in Ge Xiong’s view, was better off ignored.

Moreover, being born from the immortal-ranked Ten Thousand Stars Palace, when did he need Gu Chen’s judgment?

"Die!"

Ge Xiong bellowed. His fingers shone with starlight, striking down like a brilliant star, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble.

The many cultivators drawn from afar felt a chill from a great distance away.

A direct disciple of an immortal-ranked sect, and moreover, one in the mid-stage of the Unity Realm; truth be told, many were seeing such a figure for the first time.

After all, someone like Ge Xiong wouldn’t necessarily roam the world. For an immortal-ranked sect, they only compared notes with other sects of the same rank, hidden forces, or the top ten ancient races.

Going out for training wouldn’t have much effect on them; it would merely be a series of overwhelming victories.

This is also why the offspring of these most powerful forces from the upper realms might not necessarily appear on the Dao Gold List.

"Gu Bai, just a cultivator of Huanxu Realm, can he withstand it?" Countless people thought so inwardly.

Bang!

Ge Xiong’s massive hand pressed down like a meteor from beyond the domain, possessing formidable force.

Yet, Gu Chen remained calm and collected, merely stretching out a palm to block Ge Xiong’s Star Touch.

Having undergone five refinements of his physical body, along with Gu Chen’s own profound foundation, he was extremely strong.

Even if Ge Xiong reached the sixth transformation of the physical body, Gu Chen wasn’t afraid and dared to confront him head-on.

Of course, that was out of the question. Ge Xiong had only just reached the fourth transformation, far behind Gu Chen.

However, even so, Ge Xiong’s strength could rank among the top even in the Ten Thousand Stars Palace or other immortal-ranked sects.

"Huh?!"

On the other side, seeing how easily Gu Chen blocked his attack, Ge Xiong was immediately shocked.

Even without exerting much strength, just the rebounding force alone was enough to make Ge Xiong’s palm throb with pain.

For a moment, the terrifying notion that Gu Chen’s physical body had reached the fifth transformation quietly arose in his heart.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ge Xiong’s eyes filled with disbelief; he kept shaking his head, unable to accept this reality.

To know, the current Gu Chen was only a cultivator of the Huanxu Realm, how could his physical body reach such a level? Even the strongest direct disciple of an immortal-ranked sect wouldn’t be able to achieve this in the Huanxu Realm—there was no doubt about this!

Therefore, no matter what, Ge Xiong couldn’t believe it and wouldn’t believe it.

Gu Chen, of course, wouldn’t explain that after the fifth transformation of his physical body, except for the truly top-level geniuses of the upper realms, he feared no one.

Even Qingyun Academy’s headmaster, Situ Yin, a supreme cultivator, acknowledged this.

Even if jumping an entire major boundary, Gu Chen was confident in taking on a fight against the strongest disciple of an immortal-ranked sect, let alone facing the current Ge Xiong.

His strength wasn’t weak, but to say he was the strongest of this generation in the Ten Thousand Stars Palace was still far off.

Bang!

Gu Chen counter-thrust with a hand, and Ge Xiong’s body shook, staggering far backwards.

"Elder Brother Ge?!"

Liu Han of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace colored; he knew Ge Xiong’s strength well and hadn’t expected him to fail to take down Gu Chen.

It wasn’t just Liu Han—Jin Ju and others also changed color, and a slight fear began emerging in the depths of their hearts.

"Who exactly are you?!" Ge Xiong retreated, eventually stabilizing his footing, and asked sternly.

He couldn’t believe that the declining Qingyun Academy could foster such a figure. The present Gu Chen could definitely be considered a once-in-a-generation genius, not a shred weaker than the strongest disciple of their Ten Thousand Stars Palace generation!

Even more, Ge Xiong felt that if Gu Chen were to advance to the Unity Realm or even make a bit more progress, in a same-level battle, the strongest of this generation from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace might not necessarily be a match for him.

Gu Chen didn’t speak; instead, he reached out with his palm and gently pressed forward.

Crack!

As he extended his palm, suddenly the heaven and earth in front of him directly fractured, filled with cracks like a about to shatter mirror.

"So strong!"

Seeing this, Ge Xiong couldn’t help but his pupils contract, and at this moment, a fleeting thought of escape arose in his heart.

"No, it won’t do!"

However, the pride ingrained in a disciple of an immortal-ranked sect stopped him from acting on such thoughts.

After all, in their eyes, the rest of the people from the upper realms were just a bunch of insignificant weaklings, easily crushed.

But now, the "insignificant weakling" before Ge Xiong’s eyes had brought him such immense pressure, causing him to feel rather annoyed.
