Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Tower Supervisor, you emerge, yet why do you not dare to battle with me, are you a coward?" Zha Jiedunzhu bellowed, hoping to provoke the Tower Supervisor to come out and fight him.

At that moment, within the limitless starry sky, one bright star after another appeared, aiming at Zha Jiedunzhu with blinding light.

"Zha Jiedunzhu, since you dare to cause trouble in Tiandu, you should've been prepared to fall!"

The commanding voice of the Tower Supervisor echoed throughout the starry sky. No matter how Zha Jiedunzhu searched, he couldn't see the aged figure of the Qintian Monitor's Supervisor.

It was as if, truly, the Supervisor had transported him beyond this realm.

But Zha Jiedunzhu knew this was impossible. Even a top grandmaster couldn't achieve such a feat, to instantly relocate him away from Jiuzhou and banish him beyond the domain.

If the Tower Supervisor really possessed such supreme ability to shift space and time, Zha Jiedunzhu would have died long ago and never lived to see this day.

After calming down, his expression darkened, and he huffed, "Heavenly Human Gazing Skill!"

Indeed, only the unparalleled art of the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill could accomplish such a feat.

"All of this is but an illusion!" Zha Jiedunzhu was extremely confident, his face showing no fear.

But the next moment, in the vast starry sky, countless beams of light converged from those stars, all targeting him.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, a terrible sense of crisis surged in Zha Jiedunzhu's heart. Every pore on his body seemed to ache, sending wave after wave of searing pain, as if his body was about to burst.

Boom!

In that instant, the bright stars cast down one glittering starlight after another, bombarding Zha Jiedunzhu's body.

"Roar!"

Zha Jiedunzhu let out a fierce roar. This time, he felt the terrifying power of the Supervisor. He wanted to call upon the energy of heaven and earth to shield himself, but he found that he could no longer sense the energy of heaven and earth.

The Tower Supervisor had severed his connection with the energies of Jiuzhou using the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill!

What a terrifying technique!

The reason grandmasters are known as such, able to look down upon the millions of warriors in Jiuzhou, is because at the grandmaster level, after opening the mystic portals of heaven and earth, one's spirit communicates with the cosmos, drawing the rolling energy of heaven and earth into themselves, not only achieving the reversal of the preternatural, but also wielding the power of the cosmos.

This is also the greatest difference between grandmasters and other warriors.

But now, the Tower Supervisor had actually severed his link with the energy of Jiuzhou. How could this not panic Zha Jiedunzhu?

Spurt!

In just a split second, Zha Jiedunzhu's body was splattered with blood. With a miserable scream, he knew that the power of the Qintian Monitor's Supervisor had not diminished due to age. In fact, it had advanced beyond what it was twenty-three years ago, causing Zha Jiedunzhu to panic on the spot.

Boom!

The next moment, without hesitation and in complete disregard for anything else, he burned his essence blood within his body. With all his might, he used a supreme martial art from the national teacher Shiba Shitu of Da Yuan Country. The boundless starry sky before him was torn asunder, and Zha Jiedunzhu returned to the Star Gazing platform.

"Well executed, Soul Capturing Skill!" The Qintian Monitor's Supervisor snorted coldly.

Elsewhere, as Zha Jiedunzhu tore through the starry sky, without a moment's hesitation, his whole being shot towards the heavens and vanished into the sky.

The Supervisor did not reach out to detain him but simply looked on indifferently as Zha Jiedunzhu made his desperate escape.

After this battle, even if Zha Jiedunzhu fled back to Da Yuan, his strength would suffer a great loss due to the burning of his essence blood, and moreover, for the rest of his life, he would have no hope of reaching a higher realm.

...

At this moment, inside the city of Tiandu, seeing Zha Jiedunzhu disappear in an instant, everyone knew that the Tower Supervisor must have made a move.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince also sighed, "The strength of the Tower Supervisor remains unfathomable."

King Huai heard this, remained silent, but his gaze stayed fixed in the direction of the Qintian Monitor, thinking to himself, "Tower Supervisor, do you also have such high regard for him, even willing to intervene for his sake?"

As for Mister Gongsun, his face was filled with reverence and longing, but he knew that with his talent, the Returning to True Stage was his peak. Unless some incredible fortune came along to help him break through, he would have no hope of reaching a higher pinnacle in his lifetime.

...

Soon, several days had passed, and during this time, with the deliberate promotion by Da Xia, the news that Ananda, the next leader of the Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect, had died, and that Zha Jiedunzhu had been heavily injured and fled, spread throughout the whole of Jiuzhou.

Instantly, the entirety of Jiuzhou erupted in shock.

There was not much to say about Zha Jiedunzhu, after all, he was injured by the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, since the battle twenty-three years ago, not only the Xia Emperor but also the Grand Commander of Jing Tian Department, the Tower Supervisor of Mingjing Department, and the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, their cultivation and strength had also been extolled by the people of the world.

However, after this battle, people gained an even deeper appreciation of the Tower Supervisor's strength. Even with no Emperor presiding over Da Xia, it still remained a force not to be underestimated, the first in the contemporary world.

As for Gu Chen, his fame spread throughout the world after his battle with Ananda, it could truly be said that his victory shook the world in one battle!

Any martial artist or power with a bit of insight was aware of the origins of the Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect and the importance of Ananda.

Yet still, he was slain by Gu Chen.

Moreover, the news that Gu Chen had attained the indestructible Vajra body was also spread across the world!

"What? A martial artist with an indestructible Vajra body has emerged in Da Xia?"

"An indestructible Vajra body in his twenties?"

"Really or not, how is that possible, where did this news come from?"

"Impossible, why did he grow so fast?!"

Gu Chen's enemies, members of Sunset Sword Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect, gritted their teeth. They were furious and in utter disbelief.

All of Jiuzhou was thus shaken by a massive quake, as the news of Gu Chen slaying Ananda and achieving the indestructible Vajra body swept through the region like a hurricane. Everyone who learned of this was shocked beyond measure.

Compared to Gu Chen reaching the Gang Qi Stage in his early twenties, his attainment of the indestructible Vajra body was even more frightening.

Jiuzhou boiled over with this news. For how many years now, there had not been a martial artist with an indestructible Vajra body in Jiuzhou.

Diancang Pavilion didn't update its rankings because they thought Gu Chen's strength had surpassed the Returning to True Stage, but believed that with Gu Chen's talent, potential for the future, and current reputation throughout Jiuzhou, it was only fitting!
