Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1458 - 335: Campaigning in the Forbidden Zone of Living Beings
Chapter 1458: Chapter 335: Campaigning in the Forbidden Zone of Living Beings
"The age of chaos has arrived, and the upper realms shall perish!"
This ominous and merciless proclamation spread from all the major sanctuaries of living beings, reaching every one of the three thousand six hundred domains in an instant.
Eight words, like an ancient curse, led to the death of countless living beings. With a crack, the firmament of the upper realms was obscured by blood. Wails of ghosts and howls of gods filled the air, accompanied by blood-colored thunder that rent the heavens and earth!
It was a scene of utmost horror, causing even the strongest beings to shiver with cold, feeling as though their spirits were about to split.
"Not good, the barriers between realms have been torn; a vast tide of dark forces from the netherworld has begun to flood in!" Beings at the pinnacle of the questioning dao realm who were disturbed from their cultivation felt a chilling alarm at the core of their being.
"Could it be that the great catastrophe of the era is about to begin ahead of time?!" At this moment, chaos engulfed the upper realms.
Especially in those domains where sanctuaries existed, rivers of blood flowed in an instant, and a tremendous fear burgeoned in the hearts of endless beings.
...
Gray Domain, Han State.
At this moment, Gu Chen had just arrived at the main stronghold of Wind Gate and also heard that proclamation, witnessing the blood-colored anomaly between heaven and earth.
His heart trembled instantly; a sense of indescribable crisis spread throughout his very soul.
"Could it be that the great catastrophe of the era is about to descend ahead of schedule?" His guess was the same as that of many other strongest beings, a chill spreading from every one of his one hundred and eight thousand pores.
At the same time, Gu Chen’s messaging artifact had been ringing incessantly, with people like Ao Xuan, Phoenix Dance, and Tianyuan Taoist reaching out to him.
As Gu Chen reviewed each message one by one, his expression grew increasingly grave.
"Just an instant, and billions upon trillions of living beings have died?!" Gu Chen’s countenance was etched with utmost solemnity.
In The Hong Domain, Thunder Domain, Fire Domain, and other domains with sanctuaries, the catastrophic anomalies that just occurred proliferated demonic qi that filled the skies. Countless individuals across many large states perished, and all cultivators below the level of the strongest were killed, a massive loss for the upper realms!
Beings at the pinnacle of the questioning dao realm emerged from seclusion, rushing to the sanctuaries!
This was the news that Ao Xuan and others relayed to him.
Fortunately, there were no sanctuaries in the Gray Domain, so Gu Chen was not worried about the safety of his second uncle’s family.
However, in the East Profound Region, he had many friends, and there existed a sanctuary—the Evil King Mountain, whose strength was already fearfully extraordinary.
"It seems that matters here have concluded, and I must return to the East Profound Region as soon as possible. I can no longer keep my second uncle and aunt company for some days." Gu Chen sighed, breaking his promise, but it was a necessity.
Luckily, Tianyuan Taoist informed him that the master of Taoxu Road had emerged from seclusion, personally rushing to Evil King Mountain, and many of the strongest beings were taking action as well, temporarily suppressing the turmoil.
"A harbinger of the incoming great catastrophe of the era?" Gu Chen frowned, looking up at the sky.
The blood had covered the firmament of the upper realms, but fortunately, this anomaly did not progress further, indicating that the ultimate blood-fueled chaos had not yet arrived.
"Time waits for no one." Even so, there was a strong sense of urgency brewing within Gu Chen’s heart.
He knew he did not have much time left.
Because of the anomalies in the heavens and earth, even Wind Gate began to destabilize, but luckily, the emergence of Wind Gate’s Holy Master soon quelled the unrest.
Just as their morale was stabilizing, Wind Gate’s grand doors were suddenly kicked open.
"Ah..."
At this moment, numerous unsuspecting Wind Gate cultivators screamed, swept away by the aftershocks; their flesh torn from their bones, they perished on the spot.
"Who is it?!" The Holy Master of Wind Gate roared in rage, having just emerged to calm his disciples, he could not fathom this dire turn of events.
Soon, a figure with black hair cascading down like a waterfall in mystic clothes appeared at the shattered gates, his expression stern, gazing at the scene before him.
"Is it you, Gu Chen?!" The Holy Master of Wind Gate was shocked. By now, Gu Chen’s name was known throughout the three thousand six hundred domains of the upper realms, a name known to all.
The Holy Master had naturally seen Gu Chen’s portrait as well.
Yet, he never expected this renowned figure to appear so abruptly before him.
"What do you intend to do? As fellow members of the Human Clan, at such a turbulent time, are you set on committing an act of annihilation?!" The Holy Master of Wind Gate thundered, for Gu Chen’s recent fame was far too great. Even as the leader of a sacred site, a figurehead, he could not help but feel cold in the face of Gu Chen.
The other disciples of Wind Gate were also looking at Gu Chen with horror, keenly aware of the deep enmity between their sect and him.
"I have no time to waste words with you here. After today, there will be no Wind Gate left in the upper realms!" Gu Chen’s voice was ice-cold. He did not hesitate, immediately bringing out the Divine Cauldron.
"Suppress!"
The might of the semi-Dao-grade weapon was unleashed; and although it could not reach its ultimate potential, its terror was unmatched, beyond Wind Gate’s ability to resist.
Lacking even a holy artifact, innate spiritual treasures could not break through Gu Chen’s physical body, while, on the other hand, he could shatter them barehanded; the disparity was just too great.
Regardless of the Wind Gate Holy Master’s resistance, even when activating the grand formation, it was all in vain.
From the moment the Divine Cauldron was brought forth, the outcome was already sealed.
Without surprises, Wind Gate was purged by Gu Chen. Only their master and several elders had fused with demonic entities; the rest, although privy, had not, as a precaution, fused with evil demons yet.
After obliterating Wind Gate and acquiring some Divine Power value, Gu Chen hastily made his way to Night Spirit Valley.
Night Spirit Valley, a holy land established by the Yaksha Clan. Upon Gu Chen’s arrival, the leader of the Yaksha Clan was shocked and, like the Wind Gate master, panicked.
