Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 732 - 522: The Ancient God and Demon Legacy_1

Gu Chen gazed intently at the towering altar behind the barbarian high priest Saranguis. Within him, the Heavenly Seed trembled slightly, conveying to him strands of desire.

"Does the inheritance inside affect the Heavenly Seed?" Gu Chen's eyebrows shot up, obviously somewhat surprised.

Since Gu Chen obtained the Heavenly Seed, almost two years had passed. In fact, the Heavenly Seed had not changed much because Gu Chen's cultivation level was not sufficient to allow it to grow.

If the ancient gods and demons' inheritance could affect the Heavenly Seed, it would be nothing short of perfect.

Because if the Heavenly Seed could grow, it would also bring greater benefits to Gu Chen.

He was the host of the Heavenly Seed, and their relationship was one of prosperity for both.

"Gu Chen, go to hell!"

At this moment, a cold flash shot through Saranguis's eyes, his body flickered with dark light, and shadow after shadow flickered, striking towards Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's eyes were calm, with just a glance, the hand hidden beneath his sleeve clenched into a fist, and he struck out fiercely. A wild wind rose in the area, and those attacking shadows were instantly obliterated.

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, the barbarian high priest Saranguis was somewhat stunned. Because of his body's trace of ancient gods and demons' bloodline, even deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he could still utilize some of his cultivation. He thought he could take this opportunity to suppress Gu Chen, but he had not expected such an outcome.

No matter how hard Saranguis racked his brains, he couldn't imagine that during the time that had passed since his confrontation with Gu Chen, Gu Chen's strength had undergone an earth-shattering change. To kill him was now as easy as flipping his hand.

Even without the ability to use his cultivation, it was still the same.

Hum!

Seeing the tide turning against him, Saranguis opened his mouth, emitting an odd vibration. Suddenly, the ground trembled, and dust filled the air as one barbaric beast after another charged over.

The barbarian tribe had resided here for generations, and Saranguis, as the barbarian high priest, naturally possessed some secret methods to manipulate the beasts of this area.

"These barbaric beasts also possess a trace of the ancient gods and demons' power in their bodies; their physiques are extraordinary, some even surpassing those in the Coagulation Field. I don't believe that without your cultivation, you can survive the encirclement of a group of barbaric beasts!" Saranguis roared fiercely.

In fact, if everything had gone as he had envisioned, with Gu Chen only possessing the level of cultivation he had in the past fight with Saranguis, venturing into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains would indeed be a life and death situation, fraught with difficulties.

However, Gu Chen of the present was no longer the same as before; yet Saranguis was unaware of it.

Boom boom boom!

The ground trembled, the noise was thunderous, and one after another, towering barbaric beasts appeared, their vast shadows darkening the skies, instantly making the area bleak, devoid of the slightest ray of sunlight.

"Kill him!"

With a command from Saranguis, at least a dozen barbaric beasts all charged at Gu Chen together.

Thud!

With a steady gaze, Gu Chen threw a punch. Even without any cultivation to bolster him, the strength of his body alone was enough to turn heaven and earth upside down!

"Ao!"

The terrifying punch penetrated everything, splashing blood immediately. One after another, the barbaric beasts howled in agony, their large bodies trembling, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Gu Chen.

"Scram!"

Gu Chen's expression was devoid of emotion, with just a glance at the barbaric beasts causing them to panic immensely, hurriedly fleeing the scene as if running for their lives.

This scene left Saranguis, the barbarian high priest who was watching, dumbfounded. Was this still the Gu Chen who'd fought him with great difficulty in the past?

Back then, the battle between Gu Chen and Saranguis, in the latter's view, would have been a clear victory for him had Gu Chen not had a breakthrough in the midst of the fight.

But how had the other reached such a level after not seeing each other for a while?

"I'll see you off." Gu Chen glanced at the barbarian high priest Saranguis indifferently, and in an instant, Saranguis felt as if struck by lightning, with blood beginning to flow from all seven orifices.

A divine thought from Gu Chen shattered Saranguis's spiritual essence, cutting off any possibility for him, leaving him dead beyond dead.

"You..."

The body of the barbarian high priest Saranguis trembled, his eyes gradually losing focus, blood flowing continuously from his seven orifices, his lips quivering as if trying to say something, but in the end, he said nothing at all.

Eventually, his eyes wide open, his neck twisted, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, marking the end of another barbarian high priest.

Simultaneously, Saranguis would be the last high priest of the barbarian tribe.

With his death, the entire barbarian tribe was completely eradicated, leaving none behind, and the long-standing grudge between the Human Clan and the barbarians since ancient times also dissipated into nothingness.

For Gu Chen now, killing Saranguis was no different from crushing an ant—he felt not the slightest ripple in his heart.

He had ventured into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, risking everything for what was called the ancient gods and demons' inheritance.

Originally, more than twenty years ago, even though the barbarian tribe had not been annihilated, it had almost been destroyed, especially the barbarian high priest Saranguis, who was severely injured. But surprisingly, over the years, he did not die; instead, his cultivation advanced further.

The same was true for the entire barbarian tribe.

And all this was because of the inheritance of the ancient gods and demons. Back when Gu Chen first came to Yan State and wasn't even a Master, he had heard of this news.

And now, the secrets of the gods and demons lay before his eyes.

Gu Chen stepped onto the altar, pushed the doors open, and encountered no resistance like he had imagined; it was surprisingly easy.

Immediately, Gu Chen entered the altar. The environment here was very open, with only a high platform in the center where two items were placed.

Upon seeing those two items, an overwhelming pressure emerged, causing Gu Chen's brows to furrow, feeling as if his body was about to shatter, and an ancient, vast aura also hit him.

On the high platform, a broken finger bone and a withered heart were displayed.

These were god-demon relics, also known as the legendary primordial god-demon heritage!

"Just these two damaged items, even after countless years, can still exert such formidable pressure?" Gu Chen frowned, his expression somewhat solemn, as crackling noises emanated from his bones.

Just how powerful must the primordial god-demons have been in their lifetime, or at that time?

Could a martial artist at the realm of Heavenly People reach this extent?

At this moment, such questions arose in Gu Chen's mind.

The realm of Heavenly People is the pinnacle of martial arts, but what about beyond that realm – is there still a path to follow in martial arts?

The reason for these thoughts was simply because Gu Chen had witnessed the higher realms and the god-demon relics before him.

And as for all of this, the answers would only be found in the upper realm.

At this moment, Gu Chen took a deep breath, the inner power dormant within his body gently trembled, and streams of pure strength surged, forming a protective barrier around him, shielding him from the intense pressure.

Otherwise, merely standing here, Gu Chen would already be exerting all his might, unable to move an inch.

Immediately, under the protection of the inner power, Gu Chen approached the high platform, and up close, he saw the broken finger bone and the withered heart.

Whether it was the finger bone or the heart, despite the passage of endless years, a few streaks of blood were still present within, remnants of the primordial god-demon's essence blood. Even after such a long time, some power remained.

For the barbarian tribes with primordial god-demon bloodlines, this was indeed a supreme treasure that could lead to their great prosperity.

Of course, just the residual blood, with its inherent power, was not something the barbarians could easily endure. Extracted, it would need to be diluted through special means before it could be used.

For Gu Chen, who lacked the god-demon bloodline, even this small amount of essence blood was no different from poison.

But Gu Chen was unafraid, for he had the inner power within him. Relying on the power of the world, it was enough to eradicate all harmful substances, allowing him to absorb all the effective power in the essence blood.

Although the quantity of the essence blood was small, it belonged to a primordial god-demon after all, and not to mention its effects on Gu Chen, it was also quite significant for the inner power.

"After so many years, there's still active power remaining, the primordial god-demons really were extraordinary," Gu Chen remarked with admiration, and couldn't help but aspire to that realm.

For the current Gu Chen, looking across Yan State, there were truly few who could stand as his opponent.

Gu Chen stepped forward, picking up the section of finger bone. He sensed a powerful aura within it, and had it not been for the protection of the inner power, his body would have exploded instantly the moment he approached.

"I wonder if absorbing its power could allow me to reach the complete Coagulation Field realm?" Gu Chen contemplated while communicating with the inner power, letting it refine the finger bone.

The few streaks of blood therein were very faint in color but still contained powerful energy. If Gu Chen absorbed it directly, even if the inner power eradicated the harmful substances, it would still burst him instantly.

Therefore, the power had to be "filtered" by the inner power before Gu Chen could endure it.

After being refined by the essence blood of the primordial god-demon, not only would Gu Chen's cultivation improve, but his physical body would also undergo a transformation and sublimation.

After all, god-demons were renowned for their physical bodies, and this opportunity was rare, not just in Yan State, but even in the upper realm.

Bathing in the essence blood of a god-demon to refine the body – such a luxurious deed was not something just anyone could have the fortune to endure.

Soon, as Gu Chen watched, with the inner power rhythmically pulsing inside him like breath, the few streaks of blood in the god-demon finger bone visibly faded, then flowed into his body.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, beginning his closed-door cultivation.

When he emerged, his cultivation level was sure to surge once again.

...

While Gu Chen was in seclusion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a significant event took place in the royal city of Da Yuan Country on this day.

Boom!

As if a downpour was imminent, the sky above the royal city of Da Yuan Country darkened completely. Dark clouds emerged, covering the heavens, with streaks of lightning moving through them like silver snakes, exuding a frighteningly powerful presence.

Seeing this scene, countless civilians of Da Yuan were immediately panicked, rushing home in haste.

And inside the royal palace, Emperor Toumuer's face was also solemn with worry about what could have happened.

It was bright as day one second, and then suddenly turned into this state the next, which made Toumuer extremely anxious.

Boom!

Suddenly, a gust of wind surged through the entire royal city, strong as a Category 12 hurricane, and the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi also began to rage chaotically, surging endlessly like tidal waves.

"Is this a natural disaster, or could it be..." Emperor Toumuer furrowed his brows, full of worry.

Thump!

Suddenly, as if the god of war in heaven was hammering Yan State, the whole land shook violently, and an unparalleled aura rose from the back mountain of the palace, spreading throughout the entire royal city of Da Yuan Country and continuing to extend outward.

Feeling the familiar aura, Emperor Toumuer's face lit up with joy, and looking towards the back mountain of the palace, he exclaimed, "Has the nation's master left seclusion?!"
