Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 359 Facing the Deity (Second Update!)_1

Boom!

A thick bolt of lightning crashed down from the firmament above, its might so intimidating that even innate realm martial arts grandmasters felt a chilling terror, as if facing the wrath of heaven itself.

The grandmaster of the Tianshi Sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain with a complete innate realm cultivation had made his move!

Only those with complete cultivation in the innate realm, whose spirits are in harmony with heaven and earth, reaching a certain pinnacle of mental strength, could summon such a formidable bolt of lightning, resembling a heavenly thunderstrike.

One step further in this realm, by refining the spirit and purifying the thoughts, awakening a strand of divine consciousness, marks the so-called 'Martial God Passage'.

In the blink of an eye, one could determine the life and death of countless individuals.

That's why those who have reached Martial God Passage are hailed as supreme grandmasters. And indeed, with such powerful divine consciousness, they could connect with an even larger range of Heavenly Earth Essence Qi, with unimaginable destructive power.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was intensely fixed on Gu Chen. Facing a complete innate realm opponent, could the Marquis of Wuan from Da Xia, the butcher of the jianghu, withstand the attack?

Boom!

The lightning seemed capable of splitting everything as it descended straight from the sky and struck Gu Chen.

Sizzle!

In an instant, countless sparks flew erratically around Gu Chen, and the terrifying heat melted the ground beneath his feet in moments, almost crystallizing it.

"Why is Marquis Wuan being so arrogant? Why doesn't he dodge or defend?"

"Is it possible that it was too fast and he didn't have time to defend?"

The crowd at the scene was abuzz with speculation, and the leaders of Ling Yun Valley and other top forces of the East Province were all focusing their attention on Gu Chen.

"Look, it seems Marquis Wuan is unharmed?"

Some with keen eyesight noticed that, despite enduring the strike from a complete innate realm martial arts grandmaster, Gu Chen appeared completely unscathed.

"How... how is that possible? Could it be that Marquis Wuan has just broken through to the innate realm and is already invincible?"

Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked, and even innate realm grandmasters were no exception.

At this moment, Gu Chen stood his ground, truly unharmed.

Having attained minor completion of the Pure Yang Vajra Body, his physique was elevated to another level. Moreover, Gu Chen was also wearing the Top-grade Divine Weapon Youtie Battle Suit taken from Xi Mu of Mount Tianzhu. With the two combined, even a grandmaster at the peak of the innate realm would find it difficult to harm him.

Whoosh!

In a flash of light, three figures appeared on the scene - the three grandmasters of the Tianshi Sect from Dragon Tiger Mountain in the innate realm.

To this point, all five grandmasters of the Tianshi Sect's innate realm had gathered here, confronting Gu Chen directly.

The one leading was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with a goatee, the very same who had just attacked Gu Chen.

Seeing Gu Chen unharmed, his expression hardened.

"Even if you are the Marquis of Wuan from Da Xia, showing disrespect to the Grand Tianshi warrants punishment!" the middle-aged man said as he formed a hand seal and summoned another bolt of lightning towards Gu Chen.

"It looks like, without showing my true power, the Grand Tianshi won't come to meet me," Gu Chen said calmly, his eyes deep. With a ring, countless streams of sword aura burst forth from the pores of his body.

It was the Pure Yang Sword Aura!

These streams of sword aura shot out from Gu Chen's pores and converged in mid-air to form a huge sword, ten zhang in size, with an aura as scorching as Great Day True Qi, almost like blazing flames, distorting the void around it.

"How strong!"

The pupils of the grandmasters in the innate realm shrank. This attack was absolutely on par with the full power of the complete innate realm!

Suddenly, a question rose in everyone's mind.

Was it not said that Marquis Wuan of Da Xia, Gu Chen, had just broken through to the innate realm? How could he possess such strength?

The martial path is like climbing a mountain, with increasing difficulty the higher one ascends, and the gaps between each minor realm growing wider. Logically speaking, even if Gu Chen was a prodigy, having just stepped into the innate realm, it would only be about a month or so, how could he possibly be a match for someone fully realized in the innate realm?

This was too unrealistic!

Yet, the reality was right before their eyes, shocking everyone present.

Clang!

The sound of the sword resonated through heaven and earth. With a swoosh, it cut through the void, striking at the middle-aged man with the goatee from the Tianshi Sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the man's body became a conduit for Heavenly Earth Essence Qi and innate True Qi to boil, creating a crackling sound as a purple thunderball formed between his palms.

"Go!"

With a cold shout, the middle-aged man pushed his hands forward, and the thunderball flew out, colliding with the approaching Pure Yang Sword Aura in mid-air.

Boom!

A deafening roar filled the air, and the grandmasters used their protective Qi to shield their disciples, to prevent collateral damage.

In the clash of the two attacks, light shone brilliantly, illuminating the heaven and earth, and the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain seemed to shake slightly.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sword beam pierced through the brilliant lightning and arrived in front of the Tianshi Sect group.

"Not good!"

The faces of the five grandmasters from the Tianshi Sect changed simultaneously. Before they could react, the sword beam struck the middle-aged man, sending him flying.

Fortunately, in the final instant, the middle-aged man formed a protective Qi shield with his innate True Qi, barely avoiding disaster.

Otherwise, he would have been cleaved in two by the sword beam.
