Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 814 - 572: Demonic Might Overwhelms, Dominating the Nine Provinces
Boom—a gigantic black pillar of light shot up from the direction of Yangzhou, bridging the heavens and the earth, encompassing the land of an entire state, stirring up boundless winds and clouds, causing the mountains and rivers to lose their hue, and the cosmos to tremble. It was as if this part of the world was on the verge of destruction.
At that moment, as the black pillar of light soared into the sky, numerous dark and profound auras spread between heaven and earth with incredible speed, enveloping the whole of Yangzhou. Wherever it passed, flowers, grass, and trees withered away, and all tangible life was mercilessly stripped of its vitality.
An incredibly alarming aura emerged, and quickly it broke through the confines of Yangzhou, radiating across the entire world!
Such a phenomenon, if traced back, could only be compared to the time when Emperor Da Xia was born and broke through to the Heaven-Man Realm!
Back then as well, when Emperor Da Xia had emerged, the entire cosmos seemed to resonate, subsequently giving rise to various extraordinary signs.
And the only thing capable of achieving this feat was the legendary pinnacle of martial arts—the Heaven-Man Realm!
The Heaven-Man Realm, the ultimate realm in the field of martial arts, represented the peak achievement for warriors who had reached that stage on their path.
This realm was also known as the Martial Immortal!
The reason for this was once a warrior attained the Heaven-Man Realm, achieved unity with heaven and the vast world, their lifespan would significantly increase, allowing them to live for five hundred years!
Bear in mind that even now, the reign of Da Xia had only lasted for five hundred and twenty-two years.
A single Heaven-Man Realm expert could witness the rise and fall of a dynasty.
"How... how terrifying is this aura!"
"It's over, it's all over. I feel like I can't breathe, as if I'm about to die!"
"What's happening? What on earth is going on? Could it really be the end of days?!"
As soon as the words "Nine Provinces Shall Perish" were spoken, the earth trembled, and the whole Nine Provinces echoed with this sound. A terrifying aura of an apocalyptic end spread, throwing the hearts of everyone in the world into the utmost disarray and sparking heated debate.
Even those unfamiliar with the martial arts, the elderly and children alike, felt this chilling aura and heard that deep voice at this moment. Compared to the warriors, the common people who did not know the specific reasons were even more panicked, thinking that the gods were angered. They knelt on the ground, ceaselessly praying to the heavens, hoping to spare their lives.

Imperial Palace of Tiandu.
At that moment, all of the key figures of Da Xia were gathered together, including the princes, dukes, ministers, Qin Wu the deputy commander of Jing Tian Department, and the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor.
Their faces were extremely grave as they looked in the direction of Yangzhou, staring at the black pillar connecting heaven and earth with a deep sense of alarm in their hearts.
"Could this be... the leader of the demon cult, Dugu Yun, coming out of his retreat? Why else would there be such a terrifying aura?" A military minister muttered in panic, his body trembling faintly.
Without needing his words, it was clear to everyone that now, with the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley destroyed, and those saint-level figures dead, there was no one in the whole world with such power.
The only possibility was the leader of the demon cult, Dugu Yun, who had not been found and had remained in seclusion.
"Heaven-Man Realm!" At this moment, the white-haired and bearded Tower Supervisor also spoke solemnly, uttering these three words.
"Has the leader of the demon cult, Dugu Yun, reached the Heaven-Man Realm?!"
Upon hearing this, many people present let out a cry of surprise, their eyes filled with shock. Although they had previously guessed and mentally prepared themselves, when this thing truly happened before them and was confirmed, they all couldn't help but feel fear.
Even Qin Wu, the deputy commander of Jing Tian Department, and Emperor Ji Yuan of Da Xia felt the same.
Moreover, many ministers were swallowing saliva, their bodies trembling even more violently.
"Could he truly be intending to exterminate the entire Nine Provinces?" A nobleman held onto the last shred of hope and looked towards the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor.
The Tower Supervisor did not speak, only gazing solemnly in the direction of Yangzhou. In this moment, his silence naturally served as the clearest answer.
"It's over!"
Seeing this scene, many felt their hearts sink, as a sense of despair began to pervade the air.
Emperor Ji Yuan furrowed his eyebrows tightly as he saw this. He opened his mouth, intending to speak out in reprimand, but after a moment's pause, he could only sigh softly, and those words ultimately went unsaid.
After all, that was the Heaven-Man Realm which had not been seen in the Nine Provinces for tens of thousands of years. Even the lofty six sacred lands hadn't had a warrior reach the Heaven-Man Realm, testament to the difficulty of this achievement.
Now, a living Heaven-Man Realm in enemy form appeared before the eyes of the people of the Nine Provinces, and their sense of despair was inevitable.
"No need to worry, we still have Gu Chen!" At that moment, Ji Yuan spoke, his expression unusually resolute.
"Right, it's not over yet!" Hearing this, Qin Wu, the deputy commander of Jing Tian Department, nodded vigorously, agreeing with Ji Yuan's words.
Typically, whenever Gu Chen was mentioned, these words would find agreement among everyone, and sincerely so.
But today, this group was utterly silent, with none speaking up.
Clearly, with the Heaven-Man Realm before them, they held little hope for Gu Chen.
It wasn't that Gu Chen wasn't capable, but rather that the enemy had come too quickly, evidently unwilling to give Gu Chen enough time.
