Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 315 Mid Hundred Orifices Stage (Third Update- 10,000 Words, Seeking Subscriptions!) _1

Although the Mountain and Sea Fist was only at the beginning realm, it was still an Earthly Martial Skill from the royal secret vault. When Gu Chen threw his punch, the weakest one, Chen Luo, couldn't withstand it and his body exploded into a mist of blood.

"Ah..."

Chi Yan let out a scream of agony. Relying on the medium-grade divine weapon level Silkworm Armor for protection, he was spared from immediate death.

Even so, he sustained serious injuries. His internal organs were severely damaged, causing him excruciating pain.

Though a medium-grade divine weapon is strong, it's not omnipotent.

At this moment, Chi Yan's mouth was spewing blood foam. Enduring the intense pain from all over his body, he continued to flee into the distance.

"Madman, this is a madman!"

Chi Yan cursed furiously, his face stricken with fear. He had never imagined that Gu Chen would dare to treat the Six Great Sacred Territories as nothing and commit such a devastating act.

For tens of thousands of years, the Six Great Sacred Territories had dominated the world, and how many dared to cause bloodshed in the Sacred Territories?

Admittedly, over the years, there had been martial artists from the Nine Provinces who targeted the Six Great Sacred Territories, but without exception, those people were at least strong practitioners of the Divine Intent Realm.

Gu Chen, a martial arts master who had just broken through to the Hundred Orifices Stage and hadn't even reached the innate stage, dared to do such a thing—it was truly unprecedented!

"Gu Chen, how audacious!" Chi Yan's face turned ashen to the extreme, his fear reaching its peak, something he had never before experienced.

Ever since descending from the mountain, Chi Yan, as well as the warriors from the Six Great Sacred Territories, had maintained an attitude of superiority, believing that any one of them could look down upon the current Nine Provinces.

But to Chi Yan's surprise, Gu Chen was so brutal and overbearing!

"I said you can't escape."

Gu Chen, moving as swift as a shadow, instantly appeared beside Chi Yan. At that moment, upon seeing Gu Chen catching up, Chi Yan's spirit was thoroughly shattered!

"Gu Chen, I..."

Chi Yan opened his mouth to say something, his expression faintly showing a plea for mercy. At the same time, he also harbored extreme hatred for Chen Luo in his heart.

However, Gu Chen shook his head, not giving Chi Yan a chance to speak. Pushing his cultivation and physical strength to the peak, he kept delivering punch after punch, with the roaring of a dragon resounding endlessly at the scene.

Bang bang bang!

It must be said that the treasure armor Chi Yan wore was indeed extraordinary, shielding him from many of Gu Chen's attacks. But even so, after dozens of punches, Chi Yan couldn't bear it any longer.

To toughen the iron, one's own strength is essential; divine weapons are not omnipotent.

Chi Yan was a prime example of that.

"Puh!"

With Gu Chen's forty-ninth punch, Chi Yan suddenly spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood, which contained fragments of his internal organs, claiming his life.

"It's over."

After Chi Yan's death, Gu Chen quickly grabbed the medium-grade divine weapon level armor that had protected Chi Yan's body.

At this time, the fist wrappings hidden deep within the flesh of his left hand emitted a faint glow, revealing its desire.

After all, this was a medium-grade divine weapon.

But Gu Chen ignored it, as the Great Sun Divine Gang surged forth, over a thousand and thirty years old, wiping clean any residual marks of Chi Yan and preliminarily refining the armor.

Then, he put the treasured armor on himself.

To have a medium-grade divine weapon that could save one's life was the lifelong wish of countless warriors. Given its extraordinary defensive power, the Silkworm Armor was indeed very useful for Gu Chen; naturally, he couldn't let the mysterious gauntlet devour it.

As for the lower-grade divine weapon belonging to Chen Luo, Gu Chen considered it for a moment, and, to get rid of the evidence, begrudgingly handed it over to the mysterious gauntlets, watching as the sword gradually crumbled into dust.

Having destroyed all traces and cleared the area, Gu Chen returned to the Spirit Lake.

At this moment, the originally azure lake had dulled significantly, as most of its spiritual energy had flowed into Gu Chen's body.

Gu Chen sat cross-legged in the Spirit Lake, suspended effortlessly by a mysterious force. As he operated his skills, the now pale blue water churned, with strands of spiritual energy being drawn into his body.

With the residual spiritual energy in the lake, Gu Chen opened another seven orifices on top of the previous twenty-seven, breaking through to the middle phase of the Hundred Orifices Stage.

In the outside world, this would be considered a frightening achievement; it has been many years since any martial artist has accomplished such a feat.

The reason Gu Chen could achieve this was not only because of the vast spiritual energy in the Spirit Lake, but also due to his profound cultivation.

The Great Sun Divine Gang of over a thousand and thirty years was immensely powerful. If Gu Chen's physique had not been enhanced multiple times and his meridians upgraded by changing blood ten times to reach an extreme stage of transformation, they simply could not have contained such an immense amount of Great Sun Divine Gang.

In all of Nine Provinces, among warriors of the same realm, Gu Chen's cultivation was enough to crush them.

Gu Chen's foundation was incomparably solid, so much so that even among ancient warriors, few could match him.

This was the source of Gu Chen's confidence in fighting above his level.

"The Spirit Essence Fruit is indeed miraculous to have such a sacred place." Gu Chen's eyes opened, with two flashes of light briefly visible within.

As thirty-four orifices opened within his body, wisps of mysterious energy emerged, unleashing the potential hidden in the depths of his muscle and integrating into every part of Gu Chen's body.

Now, Gu Chen's body was flawless; his black hair billowed, and his whole body shone with a dazzling light. The strength of his physique could even be said to rival that of a lower-grade divine weapon.

"Now, unless I'm facing someone at the complete fulfillment stage of the Hundred Orifices Stage, I fear no one," a smile appeared on Gu Chen's face.

Having entered the spiritual realm less than ten days ago, Gu Chen was overjoyed at such a tremendous breakthrough in cultivation.

Soon after, Gu Chen turned and left the area.

He was in search of more opportunities.

...

Su Du felt extremely unlucky, in fact, very much so.

Since entering the spiritual realm, instead of being teleported with the Tianyun Sect's martial artists or arriving directly in front of some spiritual herbs and precious treasures, he was sent straight into the den of an eldritch beast.

This beast was extraordinarily powerful, having survived in the spiritual realm for many years and always troubled by formations. It was extremely fierce and violent. When it saw Su Du, it immediately attacked to kill.

After a fierce battle, Su Du found himself somewhat outmatched and, in the end, managed to escape by relying on his exceptional agility.

As if that weren't enough, after great difficulties and dangers, Su Du finally found a precious treasure. Yet, just as he was about to harvest it, someone stole it right in front of him.

Enraged, Su Du battled the mysterious martial arts master, but ultimately, he was defeated and had to flee using his agility.

It could be said that, since entering the spiritual realm, while many had reaped rewards, Su Du's luck was exceptionally poor.

"Don't let me find out who you are, I will never let you get away with this!"

Thinking of that mysterious martial arts master, Su Du gnashed his teeth in anger, as the opportunity that was within his grasp was snatched away by someone else, filling him with hatred.

But, being outskilled, he had no recourse but to talk tough, hoping he could quickly find some treasures to narrow the gap with people like Lu Xing and Bu Nantian.

Not only that, but Su Du also heard disturbing news that had been spreading in the spiritual realm recently: there were rumors suggesting Tianyun Sect had secretly defected to the Six Union God Sect, becoming demonic and heretical.

After much inquiry, Su Du learned that the source of these rumors was none other than Gu Chen from the Jing Tian Department!

And because these words came from Gu Chen, they carried considerable credibility. As a result, the martial artists of the Tianyun Sect had been ostracized and feared in that period.

"You little bastard, don't let me catch you!" Su Du's face twisted with ferocity.

Already frustrated, the spread of such news could only imply a significant impact on Tianyun Sect once they left the spiritual realm.

Su Du suspected that Gu Chen knew this information because Tianyun Sect had initially collaborated with the Rakshasa Sect and Sky Evil Sect to collect blood essence at the border of East Province.

During that battle, Tianyun Sect, Su Du, and the demonic sects all believed it was the guardian envoy of the Jing Tian Department of East Province who had intervened by chance and uncovered their plan, exposing the news of Tianyun Sect's defection to the demonic path.

"Just wait. Once I find an earth-shattering opportunity in the spiritual realm and merge with a demon ghost once I'm out, Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, Xiang Yang, all of you will be defeated by me. I will climb to the top over your reputations and become the preeminent figure below the innate level in East Province!" Su Du thought to himself, with a sense of determination swelling within him.

He did not believe that his luck would always be this bad.

Finally, perhaps fortune was smiling at him, as Su Du came across an orchard not far away while he was walking.

"Eh?"

Sensing the rich spiritual energy emanating from the orchard, Su Du was overjoyed and rushed over using his operating skills.

"Is this, the Spirit Essence Fruit mentioned in ancient texts?!"

In the deepest part of the orchard, there was an ancient tree with bark like dragon scales, towering over three meters tall, and it was most conspicuous.

On the branches of this ancient tree grew fruits the size of grape berries, each one shimmering with a crystalline luster.

These were Spirit Essence Fruits, which, according to ancient texts, could aid martial artists in enhancing their cultivation.

A single Spirit Essence Fruit might not amount to much, unable to improve a great deal for a martial arts master who has completed the Hundred Orifices Stage, but on this ancient tree, there were no fewer than a hundred of these fruits!

This was an enormous opportunity, enough to allow Su Du to make another breakthrough at the peak of the Hundred Orifices Stage, and perhaps even catch up with Lu Xing and Bu Nantian, closing the gap that had formed over time.

"Hahaha, I knew it, the heavens have finally opened their eyes, I, Su Du, am also a martial prodigy of East Province. How could my luck be bad?"

Su Du laughed heartily, clearly very excited, as this piece of fortune would tempt even the heart of someone wandering the world from the six major holy lands, let alone him.

No martial artist would think their cultivation too profound, and Su Du was no exception.

Just as Su Du couldn't wait to start harvesting the Spirit Essence Fruits, his brows furrowed.

For, he sensed a presence just outside the orchard.

"I want to see exactly who dares to compete with me for this chance. These Spirit Essence Fruits are mine, and even if the heavenly king himself came today, he couldn't take them from me!"

Su Du looked fierce. He intended to smother whoever was nearing, and with that in mind, he immediately stepped out of the orchard and went outside.

At the same time, Gu Chen, dressed in black robes with his hair flowing, had also arrived at the site.

Just as Gu Chen was about to step inside to see exactly what opportunities lay within, he happened to see the gloomy-faced Su Du coming out.

"This place is already occupied by me, irrelevant people better scram quickly!" Su Du bellowed before they even faced each other, trying to intimidate Gu Chen with his solid cultivation and reputation.

Gu Chen had already sensed the presence of a martial artist inside, so he wasn't surprised.

However, when Su Du emerged and saw that the newcomer was Gu Chen, he first paused, then laughed.

"Excellent, it seems my luck, Su Du, has truly turned, blessed with immense fortune. Not only did I discover spiritual medicine here, but now I've also found you, you despicable miscreant, it's truly the heavens opening their eyes!"

Seeing Gu Chen, Su Du's pupils erupted with ferocity, the energy around him swirling wildly. He took a confident stride forward, his self-assurance sky-high, ready to finish off Gu Chen then and there.
