Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1613 - 424 Century Change_2

"A century’s time, and such a profound accumulation of wish power has already continued?" Gu Chen glanced at his golden body statue.

He knew that he hadn’t injected even a trace of his own power into it, but now, this golden body statue was already not inferior to the Inquiry Realm.

This was somewhat astonishing.

"Halt, the ancient palace gates of the Eternal Imperial Court are a forbidden area, no one is allowed to barge in, reveal your identity!"

Outside the massive gates of the imperial palace, two strong guards were stationed there, and when they saw Gu Chen, they actually stopped him.

This was mainly because his entire body was shrouded in a layer of mist, which made it difficult for anyone to see clearly.

Soon, Gu Chen dispersed the mist, revealing his true form.

"You are... the Sovereign of the Imperial Court?!"

Upon seeing this, the two guards were greatly startled, then their faces flushed with ecstasy, and they immediately knelt down to pay their respects to Gu Chen without any hesitation.

"We deserve death for not recognizing the mountain, for failing to recognize you, the Sovereign of the Imperial Court," they said with bowed heads, their voices filled with utter devotion and awe.

"It’s of no importance."

Gu Chen shook his head. He didn’t care for these complicated formalities. With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

By the time the two guards looked up again, Gu Chen was nowhere to be seen.

However, the excitement on their faces remained, as they had personally witnessed Gu Chen’s true form, a privilege many in the upper realm could only dream of.

"When we change shifts, we can certainly boast about this to the captain and the others," the two guards thought gleefully.

On the other side, as Gu Chen entered the Eternal Imperial Court, a lot had changed in this place over a hundred years. Various structures stood tall, befitting the status of the number one great force in all the myriad worlds.

Brilliant, ancient, grand, every detail a testament to the profound heritage of the Eternal Imperial Court.

The guards reported Gu Chen’s appearance and soon, a crowd of old acquaintances appeared in this place.

"Gu Chen, you’ve left seclusion, that’s truly great!" The Tianyuan Taoist and others were equally overjoyed when they saw Gu Chen in person.

"A hundred years have passed, and all of you have made great progress in your cultivation," Gu Chen said with a smile, looking at his old friends. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

At the same time, he spotted his second uncle and aunt in the crowd and quickly greeted them.

"Second Uncle, Aunt," Gu Chen looked towards Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qinge.

"Eldest lad!"

The couple also walked over excitedly after seeing Gu Chen, and if not for Gu Chen’s high status and the watchful eyes of the public, they would have embraced him right there.

"Big Brother!" Gu Qingyan also softly called out from behind.

"Not bad, the progress in cultivation is considerable," Gu Chen glanced at Gu Qingyan.

As the sister of the Sovereign of the Imperial Court, with her Profound Yin Constitution and assisted by various fortuitous treasures, Gu Qingyan has now stepped into the Primordial Realm and become a supreme power.

What gratified Gu Chen over these hundred years was that there were always talented individuals emerging in the upper realm, and the epochal cataclysm had not yet arrived.

It could only be said that the recovery of the origin of the myriad worlds, as well as the removal of the Sacred Gate and the Forbidden Zone of Life, truly benefited the upper realm immensely.

It is worth mentioning that Master Qin, Mater Mu, and Master Gong, all three have also progressed into the Inquiry Realm, and so has the monarch of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Princess Xidie was right beside this monarch, looking at Gu Chen with eyes that seemed eager to test her skills.

With the news of Gu Chen coming out of seclusion, not just the Tianyuan Taoist and the others, but also the unparalleled individuals of the Inquiry Realm from the upper realm, all came out of seclusion and hurried over to this place.

Now, as members of the Eternal Imperial Court, they were all in seclusion here.

Meanwhile, from afar, hearing the news of Gu Chen ending his seclusion, even more cultivators gathered, all for a chance to glimpse Gu Chen’s true form.

"Greetings to the Sovereign of the Imperial Court!" Nie Gu, Ao Tian, and others appeared, clasping their fists and bowing to Gu Chen.

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded slightly. Now, his presence was naturally majestic; even standing still, he had an imposing air that made everyone feel as though an imperial deity had descended to the mortal plane.

"Let’s all go inside and talk." He said.

"Yes."

Then, led by Gu Chen and accompanied by his second uncle and aunt, they entered the main hall of the Eternal Imperial Court.

Gu Chen, having secluded himself for a hundred years, had kept this main hall closed for the same duration, with no one else qualified to enter.

Soon, a familiar group took their seats one after another, with Gu Chen seated at the head, listening to their various reports.

"It seems that you all have not wasted these hundred years; the progress you’ve made is not insignificant," Gu Chen surveyed his surroundings.

Those incredible individuals from the past who had been at the peak of the question path realm had almost all reached full maturity, while some of the veteran Primordial Realm had also made their respective breakthroughs.

Especially the chieftains of the Void King Clan, Nie Gu, and the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, Ao Tian, both of whom reached the supreme realm after Gu Chen, causing universal rejoicing.

At this moment, Nie Gu and Ao Tian exchanged glances, their eyes filled with eagerness as they looked at Gu Chen and said, "Ever since I and the old dragon have broken through to the supreme realm, we have found no equals. I wonder if today, the lord of the holy court might grant us some guidance?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the grand hall lit up with anticipation in their hearts.

Clearly, this was a challenge for Gu Chen; a hundred years had passed, and they all wanted to know what realm Gu Chen had reached by now.

For Nie Gu, the chieftain of the Void King Clan, and Ao Tian, the chieftain of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, they wanted to see how they measured up against Gu Chen.

Frankly speaking, after stepping into the supreme realm, they were somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed on their path.

This act also carried the hope that Gu Chen would provide them with guidance.

"No problem." Faced with all these expectant eyes, Gu Chen also nodded in agreement.

"Then let me go first," Nie Gu, the chieftain of the Void King Clan, stood up, poised to challenge Gu Chen.

But Gu Chen shook his head and said, "You should both come at me together."

"This..." Upon hearing this, Nie Gu and Ao Tian hesitated, asking, "Right here?"

"It’s fine," Gu Chen said with indifference, not concerned that their attacks would hurt the bystanders.

"Okay then."

Seeing Gu Chen agree, what else could they say? Both rose from their seats and stood atop the grand hall.

"The lord of the holy court, be cautious; we are about to make our move!" Nie Gu and Ao Tian declared solemnly.

"Just do it," Gu Chen said, seated in the lofty imperial throne, his black hair cascading down, exuding an aura of supreme dignity.

At that moment, everyone watched without blinking; after all, this was a supreme battle, and understanding even a fraction of it would be immensely beneficial to them.

Especially those who were about to breakthrough at the pinnacle of the question path realm, this scene was exactly what they were longing for.

Boom!

In the next moment, under the gaze of the crowd, Nie Gu and Ao Tian, the chieftains of their respective clans, finally made their move!

In an instant, supreme runes spread, the great daos resonated, and auspicious colors descended. The aura emitted was so powerful that the onlookers felt as if they were suffocating.

But soon, a gentle breeze swept through, and that suffocating sensation vanished at once.

They knew, Gu Chen had made his move!

They saw him, simply seated on the imperial throne, still as serene as before, without any noticeable action; the ripples of the supreme realm’s way from Nie Gu and Ao Tian dissipated into nothingness before even reaching him.

"What?!" The two were astonished; even as fellow supremes, they did not understand what had just happened.

"Continue," came Gu Chen’s voice. Nie Gu and Ao Tian understood that the lord of the holy court was intentionally guiding them.

Boom!

Immediately after, Nie Gu, the chieftain of the Void King Clan, acted, displaying the true intent of space. His form shifted, the void trembled, and one black hole after another emerged, seeking to engulf Gu Chen entirely.

"Roar!"

At the same time, a true dragon’s roar filled the air, and Ao Tian, the chieftain of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, lifted his hand. A dragon-shaped wave, formed entirely of supreme runes, unfurled and struck out.

Gu Chen sat at the head, pondered briefly, and felt it might be time to reveal a higher mystery to them, showing them the path ahead and enlightening them on the direction of their progress.

This was also the true reason they sought to spar with him.

Boom!

So, Gu Chen made his move. He extended a palm, with no aura spreading or daos traversing, just a palm plain and simple, yet it smoothed out the thousands of ripples that had stirred up within the grand hall.

This sight left everyone present in a daze, their minds reeling in shock and awe!
