Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 665 - 482

```

This was the fundamental reason for his loss of composure.

King Huai knew that he could not wait any longer, or to be more precise, there was no time left for him to continue waiting.

"Tower Supervisor, so this is the source of your confidence?" King Huai's gaze shifted as he looked towards the direction of the Qintian Monitor.

At that moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate all barriers, and he saw the Tower Supervisor sitting atop the Bagua Building, on the Star Gazing platform, smiling faintly at him.

The look of someone holding a winning hand immediately caused King Huai's brows to furrow.

"Has there been any news from the six sacred lands?" King Huai asked in a deep voice.

"There has." The spy answered and proceeded to inform King Huai of the news.

Upon hearing this, King Huai's tightly knitted brows instantly relaxed, and his expression once again became composed, a hint of a smile appearing on his lips.

"Gu Chen, Tower Supervisor, let us compete in speed and see who will be the ultimate victor in this struggle," King Huai said coldly.

Now that everything was in place, it wouldn't matter even if Gu Chen made a breakthrough to the Coagulation Field realm.

Because King Huai planned to fully unfold his scheme during Gu Chen's time in Yan State!

"Gu Chen, by the time you return, the whole of Tiandu, no, the entire structure of Da Xia will have changed. Then, I'd like to see how you, alone, will contend against me, against the whole world," King Huai said, the corners of his mouth revealing a trace of a cold smile.

Yes, Da Xia's foremost prince planned on seizing control of Da Xia in collaboration with the six sacred lands before Gu Chen's return, to firmly grasp power in his own hands!

King Huai did not believe that he and the six sacred lands combined would not be able to defeat Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor.

"My dear nephew, it is time for you to abdicate!" King Huai's gaze was icy as he looked toward the palace.

At that moment, in the Qintian Monitor, on the Star Gazing platform atop the Bagua Building, the Tower Supervisor certainly felt King Huai's earlier gaze.

Once King Huai's attention had shifted away, the smile on the Tower Supervisor's lips faded to be replaced by a look of solemnity.

Even though Gu Chen had broken through to the Coagulation Field realm, the situation in Yan State, as calculated by the Tower Supervisor, hadn't improved much.

In fact, it could be said that it had become even worse.

The emergence of a prison-grade monster was a signal.

The Tower Supervisor's thoughts were the same as Gu Chen's. He also knew very clearly that aside from him and Gu Chen, no one in the whole of Da Xia could deal with a prison-grade monster.

Of course, King Huai could, but to get King Huai to actively fight against the monsters, he would need to be in full control.

Otherwise, without dealing with Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor, King Huai would not bother to fight the monsters.

In King Huai's current view, if civilians died, so be it. No matter how many died, it did not affect his aspirations for the higher realms.

Moreover, with the emergence of the prison-grade monsters, the rules of Yan State became increasingly broken, and the mysteries of heaven turned utterly chaotic.

Even possessing the peerless Heavenly Human Gazing Skill could not easily forecast the trends and fortunes of Yan State, as it had become several times more difficult than before.

With too many forces involved in the contention over Yan State, not to mention individuals like Dugu Yun, the six sacred lands, the higher realms, and the invasion of monsters, even the Tower Supervisor felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"Gu Chen, the final hope of Yan State..." The Tower Supervisor's gaze was deep as he let out a sigh.

He also knew that entrusting Yan State to a young man like Gu Chen was an immensely heavy burden, but he had no other choice.

Alone, he was truly incapable of supporting the current state of Da Xia and the entire Yan State.

Moreover, there was his age to consider. There was a limit to his martial path, but Gu Chen had none!

One could say that the person with the most faith in Gu Chen in the whole world was the Tower Supervisor.

Of course, confidence did not mean Gu Chen could really solve everything, because no matter how the Tower Supervisor calculated, the lifeline left to Yan State was still only a sliver.

Whether that slim chance could be seized was entirely up to Gu Chen himself.

…

Yan State, the first forbidden zone of Yan State, within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

At this moment, in the crude wooden hut where the barbarian tribe resided, the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar sat wrapped in bandages with a somber expression.

Currently, the complexion of the barbarian chieftain was extremely unsightly. Indeed, as Gu Chen had predicted, his injuries were very serious and could not be healed in a short amount of time.

Moreover, the battle with Gu Chen was regarded by Yelanbar as a lifelong humiliation. As the mightiest warrior of the barbarians and their chief, who should be fearless and smash all obstacles in his path, he had actually fled during combat.

If not for the extraordinary divine weapon passed down through generations of his tribe, Yelanbar would have been in real danger that time. He would have been slain on the spot by Gu Chen.

Of course, it was also largely due to the appearance of the prison-grade monster, which drew Gu Chen's attention away. Otherwise, even with the divine weapon, Yelanbar would not have had the chance to flee.

But no matter what, each time he recalled that battle, Yelanbar ground his teeth in hatred, his eyes turning bloodshot and his temperament reaching the peak of volatility.

"Gu Chen, I must kill him. I must slay this scum!" Yelanbar roared in a low voice, his face contorting in pain because those injuries inflicted by Gu Chen within him were throbbing softly again.

At this moment, the great shaman Saranguis sat there, his body still formed from black mist, not quite ready to emerge.

Seeing Yelanbar like this, Saranguis's brow furrowed, as he said, "As the chieftain of the barbarians, do you possess such a narrow scope of responsibility?"

"I am not willing to accept this!" Yelanbar bellowed, his eyes crimson with rage: "I have received the primordial heritage; my bloodline has been revived, and I have the advantage of realm superiority. How could I not be a match for that vermin? It's impossible!"

Saranguis's brows knitted tightly, knowing that Yelanbar was struggling to accept this setback.

In fact, he felt the same way, for it was indeed hard to believe, and even Saranguis himself had not anticipated Yelanbar's failure.

At the same time, Saranguis's expression also turned grimmer as he said, "We can no longer afford to wait. We must go all out and engage in a decisive battle with Da Xia!"

Clearly, Saranguis understood that continuing to wait and considering Gu Chen's rate of improvement, his strength would only grow stronger, and perhaps eventually, the entire barbarian tribe would genuinely be annihilated by Gu Chen's hand.

"In the near future, I will complete the full inheritance and then emerge. At that time, I will personally act and slay Gu Chen myself!" Saranguis declared in a deep voice.

Once the great shaman Saranguis completed his reception of the ancient demonic legacy, not only would his injuries be healed, but his strength would soar to late-stage Coagulation Field realm.

Gu Chen could overcome Yelanbar, but he could not possibly stand against him.

If Gu Chen could sequentially overcome adversaries across two minor realms while in the Coagulation Field realm, then he would not be human, but a god.

"I can't stand it. I want to kill him with my own hands; otherwise, he will become my demon, and my martial path will remain stagnant for life!" the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar roared.

"How do you plan to kill him now?" Saranguis frowned, his dissatisfaction evident.

At that moment, Yelanbar's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed like a wild beast on the prowl, his voice low and menacing as he said, "There's one last method left—I will merge with a monster!"
