Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1350 - 277: Judgment of the Heavens

Chapter 1350: Chapter 277: Judgment of the Heavens

Gu Chen’s expression was cold and stern, his gaze domineering as he stood on the mountain peak, with the strong winds blowing, causing his dark robes to flutter with a rustling sound.

At the dragon-shaped mountain summit, after the pool of immortal spirit blood was taken by him, the terrifying pressure that pervaded the area also disappeared immediately.

Because of this, the three figures who previously attacked Gu Chen also flew over at an extremely fast pace, arriving close by.

"Is it you?!"

Among the three, one of the men turned out to be an "acquaintance" of Gu Chen; he had an impressive presence, his demeanor extraordinary, and on his forehead, grew a vertical eye, his face extremely handsome.

This person was indeed the young master of the Three-Eyed God Clan, one of the top ten powerful races of the upper realms—Zong Xiu!

The Three-Eyed God Clan was mighty, and legend had it that the third vertical eye on the forehead possessed mysterious and unfathomable power, capable of annihilating everything. At its pinnacle, it could even shoot out a ray of primordial light.

With Zong Xiu’s potential, he definitely had this capability. In the young generation of the upper realms, his reputation was enormous. Apart from the peculiar man from the Void King Clan, there were few who could surpass him.

As for the other two, one of them was tall and had a noble and imposing presence, standing there like a great mountain, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Most importantly, the purple radiance flickering in his pupils was intimidating, making one feel a sense of dread involuntarily.

The final person seemed somewhat extraordinary, his face handsome, with an inexplicable charm flowing around him, which set off his entire being as incredibly ethereal. Faced with him, one almost felt like facing the heavens and the earth itself!

Three great experts, now forming a pincer movement, wanting to besiege Gu Chen!

Although they did not know what exactly the "heavenly sun" at the summit was, it did not prevent them from recognizing it as an exceptionally rare treasure. The terrifying pressure it exerted, and the palpitations it caused, were truly unique.

With such a treasure before them, it was natural that Zong Xiu and his two companions would not give up the pursuit.

"Hand over the item!" Zong Xiu stepped forward, extending his palm. His voice was cold and detached, demanding the object from Gu Chen as if it were the most natural thing to do.

Gu Chen remained silent, his expression indifferent. Keep in mind, the two had existing grievances, not to mention, after Gu Chen had slain Jin Xuan the last time, Zong Xiu was even more intent on hunting him down.

At that time, Gu Chen had resolved to eliminate Zong Xiu, but to his surprise, the latter kept himself in seclusion thereafter, making him hard to find.

"You have three breaths’ time to hand it over, that is not something a lowly Earth realm cultivator like you should possess," stated the man with an aura that seemed to merge with the heavens and earth, indistinguishable from each other, his tone incredibly indifferent.

As for the tall, imposing man with intimidating purple radiance in his pupils, he remained silent, moving with a dragon-like stride and a tiger-like step towards Gu Chen, ready to take action directly by the looks of it!

Clearly, these two did not know Gu Chen and believed that an Earth realm cultivator daring to snatch the treasure right from their jaws was purely seeking death.

Bang!

The man whose pupils shimmered with purple light stretched out his hand towards Gu Chen, intending to grab him by the neck and lift him up, suspending him in the air.

Such audacity and arrogance were extreme, completely disregarding Gu Chen, thinking of him as nothing more than a little chick to be trifled with at will.

Gu Chen, of course, would not tolerate such arrogance. He casually threw a palm strike, and upon contact, a booming sound resonated through the void, echoing like a majestic bell.

"Hmm?!"

The tall and burly man was astonished as he felt a surge of intense pain between his fingers—he was actually injured!

The luminous purple blood slid from his fingertips, a sight so peculiar it looked extraordinary.

"To have injured Purple Meng?" Witnessing this scene, the extraordinarily composed and handsome man was also slightly surprised.

"Brother Ning, do not underestimate him. This man once killed a Heaven realm Golden Roc while in the Earth realm!" the young lord of the Three-Eyed God Clan, Zong Xiu, warned.

"Earth realm has slain Heaven realm?" Ning Du, upon hearing this, was immediately taken aback. He had thought Gu Chen was no more than a commoner, never imagining such a past.

After all, someone from the Earth realm killing someone from the Heaven realm was truly astonishing; no cultivator dared to imagine anyone could actually do it because it felt so unreal.

The tall and burly man named Purple Meng also frowned slightly, whereupon a light purple glow circulated, and the wound on his palm healed quickly.

At this moment, besides the three of them, many others had also arrived, including Long Yi and Ren Fei.

"Purple Meng, Ning Du?!" Ren Fei arrived, instantly recognizing the two and his expression changed with shock.

"What is the background of these two?" Seeing that Gu Chen was confronting them, Long Yi quickly looked to Ren Fei.

Ren Fei’s face was somewhat grim as he spoke in a low voice, "Both of these men, without exception, come from imperial clans. Among them, Purple Meng is a monster from the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, and Ning Du is from the heaven-born clan!"

"Purple-Gold True Behemoth and a heaven-born clan?" Long Yi frowned. Although he had never heard of these two clans, as members of imperial clans, they were certainly not weak, most likely on par with the dragon clan.

Ren Fei spoke gravely, "The Purple-Gold True Behemoth is an extremely powerful race from an endless era ago, once ruling over all heavens. Although not celestial spirits, they produced supreme beings of the heavens. Their bloodline’s power is exceptional and incomparable; the Behemoths in the higher realms are their descendants."

He paused, then with a look of intense apprehension in his eyes, he looked towards Ning Du and said, "As for the heaven-born clan, they are even more extraordinary. It is said that the ancestors of this clan were naturally nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, representing the will of the Great Dao, the tangible continuation of the heavens. Born to merge with the laws of nature, they are innate cultivation prodigies. Every action they take can invoke the trend of the world to aid them, and they are utterly mysterious and unpredictable."

Upon hearing this, Long Yi’s expression turned grave, and he felt somewhat helpless inside—why was it that Gu Chen was up against all these so-called imperial and royal clans?

At that moment, Ren Fei continued, "Purple Meng and Ning Du are among the top figures of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth and the heaven-born clan. As the supreme heirs, there is no one in the younger generation of the two grand imperial clans who can match them!"

Aside from them, the blood of celestial spirits had also attracted many cultivators to this place. Only owing to the previous terrifying pressure, they had been unable to approach.

Now, behind Purple Meng and Ning Du, several Heaven realm Great Powers appeared, standing there with proud faces.

Being of imperial clans, they were revered wherever they went, and within the sacred realm, no power could rival them; naturally, they would carry themselves high above others.

"I’ll say it again, hand over the item!" Ning Du spoke, his robes billowing. It must be said that the presence of the heaven-born clan was truly exceptional, exuding a feeling of being beyond the mundane world.

Despite learning of Gu Chen’s battle achievements from the Three-Eyed God Clan’s Zong Xiu, Ning Du was not afraid.

After all, they were the heaven-born clan, children of the High Heavens, favored by the Heavenly Dao. With the realm suppression in their favor, why would they fear an Earth realm cultivator?

Ning Du had this confidence in himself.

On the other side, Purple Meng from the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan also stepped forward, his expression cold and determined, eager to make another move against Gu Chen.

Although they did not know what exactly the treasure was, both of them had a premonition that this item was exceedingly important to them!

"Gu Chen, the wise knows when to yield. I know you are powerful, but can you really take on three by yourself? Better to hand it over!" The young master of the Three-Eyed God Clan, Zong Xiu, also spoke, looking as if he had Gu Chen’s defeat all figured out.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Gu Chen, eager to see what he would do.

Keep in mind, it was not just Zong Xiu here—strong members of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan and the Heavenly Great Powers were also eyeing him covetously!

At that moment, Gu Chen’s expression was indifferent as he looked at Zong Xiu and said, "I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time!"

His gaze then shifted towards the other two, Purple Meng and Ning Du. They had also made attempts on his life just moments ago, and Gu Chen did not consider himself generous enough to forgive them.

"You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Upon hearing this, Zong Xiu’s face immediately darkened.

"Go to hell!"

It was then that Purple Meng of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan made the most decisive move. He reached out with his palm, turning it into a purple-gold claw that blotted out the sky, aiming to crush Gu Chen in one blow and wash away the humiliation he had just suffered.

In a split second, Gu Chen swiftly turned his head. His eyes were sharp as he threw a punch in return, causing the heavens and earth to collapse.

Pfft!

Like amethyst, the blood sprayed. Despite Purple Meng’s best efforts, he was no match and was defeated.

His huge palm was streaming with blood and all his finger bones were shattered, a severe pain that turned Purple Meng’s face white.

Upon witnessing this, Zong Xiu was immediately taken aback; he hadn’t expected that after some time apart, Gu Chen’s strength had advanced to such a degree.

He was certain that when Gu Chen fought Jin Xuan previously, he had not been nearly this dominant!

"If only I had known, I should have cut you down at all costs!" Zong Xiu said with a chilly voice.

He realized that Gu Chen had become an unstoppable force.

"Let’s join forces and suppress him!" Zong Xiu said, glancing at Ning Du who stood beside him.

"I, of the Heavenly Clan, am high above all, the master of this world. Even one on one, I am fearless. It’s only because you are obstinately unenlightened that I cannot be blamed!" Ning Du spoke, his words dripping with hypocrisy.

Unperturbed, Gu Chen remained as cold and composed as before. His figure flashed, and in an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

"Hm?!"

The moment he witnessed this, Zong Xiu felt a chill in his heart. For some reason, he had a premonition that Gu Chen would strike at him!

Whir!

In that instant, without any hesitation, the third vertical eye on Zong Xiu’s forehead opened immediately. As divine light flickered, it swept through the heavens and earth.

"I’ve found you!"

It had to be said, the third eye of the Three-Eyed God Clan was indeed extraordinary. Zong Xiu instantly located Gu Chen, who was using the Illusory Annihilation Traceless.

"Die!"

Zong Xiu pointed and flicked his fingers, next to the vertical eye on his forehead. Instantly, a beam of divine light pierced through the void at a tremendous speed, striking at Gu Chen.

Swoosh!

Once again, Gu Chen employed the Illusory Annihilation Traceless, his figure graceful as a startled swan, agile as a dragon. He dodged before the divine light could reach him.

"It’s useless!" Zong Xiu sneered. If it was that easy to dodge, would their Three-Eyed God Clan be among the top ten powerful clans in the higher realms?

Zip!

Sure enough, that beam of divine light flashed through the void, curved, and continued to pursue Gu Chen.

"Three-Eyed Divine Light, nothing can withstand it!" Zong Xiu bellowed coldly, his two fingers joined together in front of the vertical eye on his forehead, launching three consecutive beams in a triangular pattern at Gu Chen.

These beams of divine light, manipulated by Zong Xiu’s will, relentlessly pursued their enemy.

"Roar!"

At the same time, on the other side, Purple Meng of the Purple-Gold True Behemoth Clan, having healed his wounds during this brief period, raised his hand and unleashed a potent Divine Power. Purple light shattered the void of the heavens and earth, pressing down like a sea.

Facing the assault of two adversaries, Gu Chen midair, remained extremely calm and composed.

"Annihilate!"

His eyes deep, he brought his hands together to form a seal, and in an instant, an unparalleled wave of energy spread, ready to shatter everything before him!

This was the Five Seals of Divine Power: Earth-splitting Seal!

With a booming sound, the heavens and earth collapsed within a thousand yards, erasing the attacks of both Purple Meng and Zong Xiu.

"Heaven’s Judgment!" But just then, Ning Du of the Heavenly Clan made his move.

His attack was meant to be a finishing blow, the famed and supreme Divine Power of the Heavenly Clan!

"Heavens, it’s the Heaven’s Judgment, has this Divine Power appeared in the world once more?!"

"The Heavenly Clan is the corporeal manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, and Heaven’s Judgment is the Heavenly Clan’s method of enacting divine retribution and judging all beings!"

The local monks who were watching were shocked and awe-struck upon seeing Ning Du’s move.

Because Heaven’s Judgment as a Divine Power was too extraordinary; countless exceptional demons and powerful beings had perished under it.

"You are not the first to be judged, but you will certainly not be the last. Tremble beneath the might of the Heavenly Clan, and then die in penance!" Ning Du declared, his body radiating light, descended like a deity from the heavens!
