Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 512 - 386: Breakthrough Again_1
At this moment, outside the state city of Youzhou, the commanders of Jing Tian Department were battling with demons. Some of these demons were at the Disaster Level, some at the calamity level, and others at the specter level, their numbers not inconsiderable.
Seeing Gu Chen appear, Liang Zhao’s hanging heart also relaxed, he said, "Lord Gu, what you don’t know is, just after you left, a space fracture appeared, and these demons emerged from it."
Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded slightly, relieved that no demons of the nether level had appeared, otherwise the state city might have been in danger.
After learning of the Six Union God Sect’s strength, Gu Chen felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Although Dugu Yun and the others had yet to come out of seclusion, he could not place his hopes on others, as that was unrealistic.
A person’s greatest reliance is always themselves, Gu Chen understood this deeply. Only if one’s own strength is sufficient can one have the capacity to face everything that is about to happen in the future.
"Let me do it."
Gu Chen looked at the many demons outside Youzhou city. With a flash of his figure, he arrived above the heads of this group of demons.
"It’s Lord Gu."
"Lord Gu has returned!"

The civilians of Youzhou, along with the commanders of Jing Tian Department, all showed joy upon seeing Gu Chen.
Nowadays, this young man in his early twenties had, unbeknownst to everyone, become the stabilizing needle in their hearts.
It was as if with Gu Chen present, everything could be suppressed, and no accidents would happen.
This was a very strong sense of security, especially in the current turbulent times of the Nine Provinces, it was extremely important.
"Lord Gu!"
The civilians of the state city, upon seeing Gu Chen, were somewhat frenzied, no longer afraid even of the nearby demons, chanting Gu Chen’s name. Among them, some young women were even gazing with sparkling eyes, unblinkingly staring at Gu Chen’s tall figure.
Gu Chen, in his black robe, had a physique both tall and graceful like jade, his whole person as if enveloped in a halo, radiating a faint luster all over.
At this moment, standing high in the sky, he looked down calmly, his eyes as deep and undisturbed as the vast ocean, not stirring in the slightest.
"Extinguish!"
Gu Chen aimed his palm at the group of demons below, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi within dozens of yards seethed, summoned by his will into a colossal, semi-transparent hand which he brought down with crushing force from afar.
Boom!
The handprint made of concentrated Heavenly Earth Essence Qi was twenty yards wide and overwhelmingly massive, like a cloud covering the sky. At that moment, the earth trembled, dust flew, and a thunderous roar sounded.
The group of demons didn’t even have time to let out a wail before they were reduced to ash by Gu Chen’s palm, leaving a huge and distinctly visible handprint on the ground, as if a deity from another realm had extended a hand to leave its mark upon the earth.
Seeing this, the civilians of Youzhou, far from being afraid, became even more fervent, continuing to shout Gu Chen’s name.
Liang Zhao, the governor of Jing Tian Department in Youzhou, and the other commanders, were also shocked, looking at Gu Chen in the sky as if he were a divine being, their eyes filled with reverence.
"It’s really too exaggerated..."
"Lord Gu is truly like a deity..."
There were commanders murmuring, yearning in their hearts, hoping that one day they could stand lofty in the sky like Gu Chen, able to extinguish numerous demons with a single palm.
Whoosh!
With a gesture from Gu Chen’s palm, the soul crystals scattered on the ground all flew into his hand.
Witnessing this scene, no one spoke; these rightfully were Gu Chen’s spoils of war.
"I need to enter closed-door cultivation for a while; unless the demons attack the city, regardless of the issue, it can wait until I emerge," he said.
After dropping this remark, Gu Chen’s figure flashed and disappeared from the sky.
The many civilians of Youzhou, upon seeing Gu Chen leave, couldn’t hide their disappointment, and under Liang Zhao’s organized dispersal, also gradually left.
Elsewhere, Gu Chen entered a secret chamber in the Jing Tian Department of Youzhou. With a thought, he summoned the status panel.

"Seven hundred and sixty merit points, this can be considered quite a bountiful harvest," Gu Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile upon seeing the merit points on the panel.

"Just not sure if I can reach the great completion of the Innate Realm?"
Gu Chen pondered, all seven hundred and sixty merit points if invested in cultivation could greatly enhance it. Perhaps after the increase, with cultivation alone he could contend with the top grandmasters of the martial path who had attained divinity.
However, what truly made the top grandmasters of the martial path formidable was not their cultivation, but their intangible and elusive spiritual thoughts.
Even if Gu Chen’s cultivation could rival those at the Divine Realm, he might not withstand an attack from their spiritual thought.
After all, a true Divine Realm powerhouse’s spiritual thought differed from the declining spirit of Xiahou Longyuan, and the one-eyed elder he faced before.
