Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1595 - 413: The True Body of the Holy Master

Crackling and clattering!

In an instant, thunder roared, and a myriad of silver waterfalls surged tumultuously, as if the apocalypse had descended.

Gu Chen engaged in battle with the Holy Master, like two soaring true dragons clashing in the sky; the countless lightning strikes shimmering between heaven and earth were all a result of the aftermath of their fight.

Each silver waterfall was capable of annihilating a cultivator at the Dao-Seeking stage, such was the terror!

At this moment, Nie Gu and the others from the Void King Clan observed the scene from a distance with trepidation.

They understood that Gu Chen’s strength had increased even further compared to when he fought against Emperor Yu!

Boom!

Gu Chen’s punches were unparalleled, infused with the supreme fist intent of being invincible, clashing fiercely with the Holy Master.

It’s worth mentioning that the two were currently only using pure physical strength without employing their cultivation skills.

Rumbling thunder!

The three thousand six hundred domains of the Upper Realm all trembled with thunderous shock; such a spectacle was indeed too astonishing, as if the force could penetrate the six paths, establish the cycle of rebirth, and make the entire Upper Realm tremble.

Gu Chen’s blood qi boiled, shooting straight to the Ninth Heaven, with a battle intent that split the sky, supremely dominant, as if he had entered a state of frenzy. Each punch was stronger than the last, filled with a fist intent so lofty and unrivaled that it could challenge anyone!

For a time, the Holy Master furrowed his brow, as he actually started to retreat.

This was unacceptable for him, after all, he was the leader of the Holy Gate, the strongest in the Upper Realm, and a supreme figure among the heavens!

Thump!

He struck again, his arms reversed, and in an instant, they contained thousands of profound and transcendent changes.

This was one of the most extraordinary physical techniques beneath the heavens, a high-level fist technique!

"What is this?!" Upon seeing this attack and feeling its fist intent, the leaders of the Void King Clan and other Dao-Seeking figures from the Upper Realm narrowed their eyes.

Because, at this moment, they felt a sense of familiarity emanating from the Holy Master.

"If I’m not mistaken, that seems to be the Yuan Emperor Fist?" the leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan said with a heavy voice.

He was born at the end of the last great epoch, living from the start of this primitive and ancient era until now, having experienced more than a million years.

He was exceedingly familiar with all sorts of techniques and divine abilities of the Upper Realm, as well as the strong figures from ancient to modern times.

The Yuan Emperor Fist, created by a leader of the Human Clan during the primitive ancient era—Yuan Emperor himself—when unleashed, was like layers of the firmament crashing down.

This was a physical technique created by the young Yuan Emperor, inspired by the cultivation method from Azure Cloud Sky’s Heavenly Lord—Thirty-three Heavens. It grew alongside him, constantly improving and getting stronger, and it was almost known as the number-one fist technique of that ancient era.

"To my knowledge, Yuan Emperor had no disciples, and this fist technique should have disappeared after his demise. How could the Holy Master know this technique?" the Dao-Seeking figures were shocked, casting uncertain glances at the two in combat.

"Could it be that the Holy Master received the Yuan Emperor’s legacy?" The Dao-Seeking figures exchanged glances.

But obviously, this could not be the case as the Holy Master had already shown signs of activity while Yuan Emperor was alive, though at the time he kept a very low profile.

Even so, he had already shown peak Dao-Seeking realm strength and couldn’t possibly be a disciple of Yuan Emperor.

"Could it be..." Upon realizing this, a startling speculation emerged in their minds.

And at this moment, as Gu Chen fought the Holy Master, he too began to guess at the identity, coinciding with the speculation of Nie Gu and other Dao-Seeking figures of the Void King Clan.

"You are Yuan Emperor, you didn’t die!" Gu Chen shouted coldly, his voice shaking the Eight Desolations and the Six Harmonies.

"Indeed, so it is. The Holy Master is Yuan Emperor, and Yuan Emperor is the Holy Master; both are one and the same!" Nie Gu and other Dao-Seeking figures of the Upper Realm were thoroughly shaken.

A mystery that had puzzled the Upper Realm for many years was finally confirmed today; they had learned the true identity of the Holy Master!

Of course, this was also the Holy Master’s own doing, for had he not used the Yuan Emperor Fist and purely used Holy Gate techniques, no one would have been able to guess his true identity.

"After many years of silence, will the name ’Yuan Emperor’ resound through the myriad heavens once more?" the Holy Master murmured, this indeed being his intent.

Now, having reached the supreme state and with the Upper Realm crumbling, there was no longer any need for him to hide.

In his view, letting Gu Chen and the others die with this knowledge was also Yuan Emperor’s final grace to these people.

"Yuan Emperor, I never imagined that you would be the instigator of all this!" At this moment, upon learning the Holy Master’s true identity, all the Dao-Seeking figures present gritted their teeth.

Clearly, they all knew of the Yuan Emperor, and many of them were acquaintances with him during the primitive ancient era, even could be considered old friends.

"Old Dragon, and you all, long time no see," said the Holy Master, now known to be Yuan Emperor, giving a glance towards the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, Ao Tian, the leader of the Golden Raven Clan, Wu Shen, and the leader of the Bai Xiao, a few Dao-Seeking figures at the pinnacle of cultivation.

"Yuan Emperor, why would you betray the Upper Realm as the leader of the Human Clan?" Gu Chen questioned fiercely, his eyebrows tightly knit, filled with incomprehension.

The Yuan Emperor, along with Emperor Yu, were both revered as leaders of the Human Clan, leading the once weak humans out of the era of ignorance, onto the path of civilization, to ultimately become peerless figures standing at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm.

It could be said that the rise of the Human Clan was inseparably linked to both Emperor Yu and Yuan Emperor.

And it was said that they were close friends having emerged from the same tribe as youths, the very best of brothers.

However, compared to Emperor Yu, Yuan Emperor met his demise much earlier. Now it appears that, at that time, he had faked his own death.
