Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 755 - 536: Breakthrough, Divine Intent Realm_1

Da Yuan Country's capital.

At this moment, the Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, was leading a group of Tian-rank Commanders here.

Since Gu Chen killed the national teacher of Da Yuan Country, Shiba Shitu, and the news spread, the entire capital of Da Yuan had fallen into complete chaos. With Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan failing to show himself, countless citizens began to flee in all directions.

They were all acutely aware that with the death of the national teacher, Shiba Shitu, Da Xia would definitely send troops to attack Da Yuan, and the downfall of Da Yuan was inevitable; thus, their own fate was self-evident.

Not only the citizens but also the nobility of Da Yuan did the same, taking their wealth and fleeing for their lives. However, some saw things clearly; with the barbarian tribes extinct and the entire Shen Zhou soon to be united by Da Xia, even if they fled, where could they go?

There were still many wise individuals who gave up resistance. Along the way, Qin Wu had also captured all these nobles who did not resist.

As for those who fled, they seemed insignificant to Qin Wu, whose true objectives were Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan and the Dragon Elephant Buddha Sect of the Great Snow Mountain.

Soon, without any obstacles on the way, the Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, remained impassive as he led his men to Da Yuan's royal palace.

As they drew near, Qin Wu and the Tian-rank Commanders furrowed their brows; their senses were sharp, and standing outside the palace, they detected an extremely pungent smell of blood.

"Go in!"

Following Qin Wu's order, they charged in, only to find the pungent smell of blood becoming even stronger upon entering the palace.

At that moment, they discovered that there wasn't a single living soul in the entire imperial palace of Da Yuan; it was filled with blood and severed limbs, and not even a single complete corpse could be found.

"Who could be so cruel as to do this in the palace?" wondered a Tian-rank Commander with a frown.

Even with the country facing destruction, surely it wouldn't come to such an act?

The leading Qin Wu remained silent. His expression was grave, and deep down, he already had some suspicions as he asked, "Where is Toumuer?"

"Reporting to the Commander, we are searching, but we haven't found him in the palace's main areas. It is very possible that the Emperor of Da Yuan has fled," a Tian-rank Commander who had just returned reported.

But the next moment, a distant shout reached them: "We've found him; Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan is here."

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, quickly led his men to the location. They traversed a path strewn with dismembered limbs belonging to guards, maids, and eunuchs.

Even the Tian-rank Commanders, accustomed to bloodshed, had difficulty looking at the brutal scene, distressed that even civilians were not spared by the perpetrator.

Soon, they found Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan in a side hall.

"What is this?!"

Seeing Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan, everyone Qin Wu brought with him was shocked, their bodies quivering.

"So it was all his doing?" said one Tian-rank Commander, his expression turning uncomfortable.

At that moment, the last Emperor of Da Yuan, Toumuer, lay on the ground disheveled, his complexion cyanotic, his eyes bulging as if he had witnessed something utterly terrifying before dying. His body was drenched in blood, his hair strands soaked and matted with it, clearly dead for some time.

Beside him were the bodies of several maids, somewhat intact and lying to one side.

Seeing this scene, those Tian-rank Commanders, including Deputy Commander Qin Wu, who were all veterans, deduced from the evidence at the scene that the massacre in the palace of Da Yuan was the work of Emperor Toumuer himself.

"He truly was ruthless," remarked a Tian-rank Commander.

Then another scoffed, "What use was his ruthlessness now that he's dead? Besides, by the looks of it, he was most likely scared to death."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. It was clear to any observant person that Emperor Toumuer of Da Yuan had no external injuries and that his expression of terror before death indicated he was indeed scared to death.

As for who could scare an emperor who ruled over all under heaven to such a state, Qin Wu and the others already had their answer.

Who else but Gu Chen, the renowned Marquis Wu An, whose name shook Shen Zhou, could possess such a feared presence?

No matter how one looked at it, Toumuer was an emperor of a nation, yet he met such an end, scared to death; a fact that left everyone present in reflection.

At the same time, they also knew that Da Yuan was truly finished.

...

In Shen Zhou's Tiandu, within the secret chamber at the Jing Tian Department headquarters.

Ever since his battle with the national teacher of Da Yuan Country, Shiba Shitu, Gu Chen had been sitting here for seven days and nights.

During this time, Gu Chen had been digesting the gains from his fight with Shiba Shitu, while also consolidating his vital energy, spirit, and mental state.

Refining the Divine Intent was not easy, even for Gu Chen, who had reached the peak of the Coagulation Field Realm. It required an optimal state and thorough preparation.

The Divine Intent, which embodies a warrior's martial will, demands complete unity of vital energy, spirit, and mental force to be successfully honed!

This was the most important trick to refining Divine Intent that Gu Chen had realized during his battle with Shiba Shitu.

Of course, a martial artist's personal conviction and understanding of the martial path are also indispensable.
