Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

In the dense forest of ancient trees, Gu Chen's black hair cascaded down, glossy and crystalline, his demeanor ethereal and otherworldly as if he were an exiled immortal who had descended to the mortal realm.

Despite the formation of hundreds of Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty's soldiers, commanded by several battle generals, they were unable to stop Gu Chen.

Furthermore, the chief disciples of the surrounding prestigious sects also made their move, but all the same, Gu Chen, without even stirring, crushed them all.

Such strength chilled everyone present to the bone.

"He is definitely not the Shadowless Hand Tian Fei!" The leading battle general of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty thought with dread because such an infamous thief could not possibly possess such formidable power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been cornered here and would have simply left at his leisure, beyond anyone's ability to stop him.

"Who exactly are you?!" he bellowed, eyeing Gu Chen with caution.

At the same time, hundreds of soldiers stood up with spears in hand, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, glaring at Gu Chen with rage.

It was evident that they possessed a strong overall quality. Even if they were injured, their morale wasn't overly dampened, and they dared to confront Gu Chen head-on.

Liao Yun and the chiefs of Bi Bo Sect and others looked at Gu Chen, their eyes revealing a deep sense of horror.

"Could it be that this man has reached the Cave Heaven Realm?!" They thought to themselves.

Gu Chen simply stood before them, but it was as if the two parties were in entirely different dimensions; they could not sense even the slightest hint of his aura.

Moreover, that indifferent expression and transcendent demeanor clearly showed he didn't take them seriously at all.

"No matter who you are, do you know to whom the Red Yuan Fruit belongs? I advise you not to make a mistake. Even if you are very powerful, are you stronger than the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, stronger than the Ninth Prince?" the leading battle general roared, trying to intimidate Gu Chen with the names of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and Gu Yan.

Hearing this, Gu Chen merely smiled faintly and said, "The Red Yuan Fruit, I have decided it is mine, and it doesn't matter who comes!"

At these words, the leading battle general's face immediately darkened, unable to believe that the prestige of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty could fail to hold sway.

"From which power do you hail? With your strength, there is no need for you to hide your identity!" the battle general said, forcibly containing his rage.

Clearly, it was a threat. If Gu Chen took the Red Yuan Fruit today, then once the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty discovered his identity, they would not spare the sect behind him either.

But alas, Gu Chen came from the Jiuzhou region, alone and unaffiliated. This body was merely an external avatar for him, like a rootless duckweed. Even if the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty was extraordinary, it would still be impossible to trace his true identity.

"Attack!"

Seeing that Gu Chen was impervious to threats, the battle general roared angrily, determined to unite the power of everyone present. He refused to believe that they were no match for him.

Hum!

But in the very next moment, an invisible fluctuation spread, and all of them were frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.

"What?!"

Suddenly, everyone's face changed, a shock arising deep within their hearts, they looked at Gu Chen with disbelief.

"Could it be, he truly is a powerful being from the Cave Heaven Realm?!" This was the thought in most of their minds.

Facing so many people, even a Son of Saint level figure couldn't handle them with such ease, only a powerhouse who had transcended the martial domain and reached the Cave Heaven Realm could possess such a strength!

"Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, I find you very irksome," Gu Chen murmured, his gaze turning cold and detached.

"Pfft!"

In the next moment, without any visible movement from him, those affiliated with the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, including the battle generals and soldiers, vomited blood and their complexions swiftly turned listless.

Especially the leading battle generals, whose bodies instantly exploded, turning into a rain of blood scattering across the sky.

Suddenly, as Gu Chen's gaze shifted, wherever his eyes passed, Liao Yun and the others felt a chill, their faces subtly showing signs of terror.

With a swish, after taking their storage magic artifacts, Gu Chen's figure vanished instantly from the spot.

"Phew..."

Once Gu Chen had left, their ability to move returned, and one after another, they all began to breathe heavily. They had genuinely been terrified just moments before.

Only Ling Fei stood there, her beautiful eyes filled with a strange expression, pondering as she watched the direction in which Gu Chen had disappeared.

Elsewhere, the real Shadowless Hand Tian Fei was leaving the forest, a smug look on his face. As he walked, he sneered, "Damn thing, don't let me find out who you are. Only I steal from others; no one dares to defecate on my head!"

But then a cold smile appeared on his face again. Caught by the people of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, he believed that Gu Chen would not escape without shedding a layer of skin, and the Red Yuan Fruit would be lost as well.

Although in the end, the Red Yuan Fruit ended up in the hands of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, which somewhat pained Tian Fei, he believed all this was Gu Chen's fault.

"Huh?!"

Just as he was thinking this, intending to make his escape, abruptly a figure appeared before him, giving Tian Fei a huge fright.

"You... how are you here?!" Tian Fei exclaimed in horror, seeing Gu Chen appear before him.

"Your little cleverness has led to your own downfall," Gu Chen said calmly, and without any overt action, the notorious thief, Shadowless Hand Tian Fei, screamed as he rapidly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of blood mist and died.

After resolving all this, Gu Chen found a secluded cave and with a flip of his palm, produced the heaven and earth treasure, the Red Yuan Fruit.

"Such dense energy," Gu Chen admired the Red Yuan Fruit in his hand, which resembled a blazing flame, feeling very pleased with himself.

After all, the Red Yuan Fruit was extremely valuable and rare. A single Red Yuan Fruit could help a Sky Person realm martial artist improve hundreds of years' worth of cultivation!
