Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 817 - 574: On the Verge of Desperation, The Immense Strength of Dugu Yun (Three updates of 10,000 characters, please subscribe!)
The supreme leader of the demonic sect, Dugu Yun, dominated the world more than three hundred years ago, commanding the nine provinces with no one daring to disobey.
It could be said that he was the creator of an era. The demonic power was so overwhelming that wherever the Six Union God Sect went, the people of the world were filled with dread, even retreating several miles from them.
That was a dark era when even Da Xia was helpless against the Six Union God Sect, forced to watch them dominate the world, nearly ruling over the entire nine provinces.
Because of this, the name of Dugu Yun resonated throughout the nine provinces, as if he were an uncrowned emperor.
At the same time, he was also the strongest in the nine provinces at that time. Had it not been for his over-arrogance, which provoked the six holy lands, the Six Union God Sect might not have been annihilated back then.
Even so, it was only after the six great holy lands, including the dormant Divine Intent Realm, took action together that they managed to break through the headquarters of the Six Union God Sect and kill Dugu Yun.
In that era, the demonic sect leader who oppressed the world should have died, but just then, the demonic Tu Er invaded the nine provinces. On the brink of death, he encountered Dugu Yun and directly possessed his body, taking over Dugu Yun's shell.
At the same time, the monsters that accompanied him and were lucky enough to survive also possessed the bodies of the two saints and the law king of the demonic sect.
The method of merging with the monsters was also passed down by Dugu Yun, or rather, the demon Tu Er, to facilitate the rapid rise of the Six Union God Sect.
Had his injuries not been so severe and had the land of the nine provinces not expelled him, he would not have spent such a long time recovering.
And from its inception to the present, the Six Union God Sect could be said to have been ruined by the hands of Gu Chen alone.
However, none of this mattered to Dugu Yun. From beginning to end, he had only one goal, and that was to devour all living beings in the nine provinces and to let the monster clan descend, turning the nine provinces into purgatory.
Just like other countless destroyed worlds.
The difference is that the nine provinces have Gu Chen. Without killing Gu Chen, Dugu Yun cannot succeed.
At this moment, the demonic sect leader looked at Gu Chen somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that under these circumstances, the other party had actually made a breakthrough?
But the next moment, Dugu Yun's brows furrowed and he said, "You were prepared all along?"
The intelligence of a prison-level monster was almost comparable to that of the Human Clan, not to mention that of a demon. Their intelligence was extremely high, so with just a thought, Dugu Yun guessed the truth.

"Unfortunately, it is still useless. You won't understand how strong I am," he said, his expression indifferent, completely unconcerned even though Gu Chen had achieved full mastery of the Divine Intent Realm.
At that moment, his pitch-black pupils swept over, noticing that Gu Chen was calm, his energy poised for release. Dugu Yun's lips slightly curved upward as he said, "It seems you are quite confident in yourself?"
"Since that is the case, let's play something interesting."
Dugu Yun's smile was scornful, and without any visible action, the heavens and earth trembled. The firmament, like a mirror, reflected the images of the two of them.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's brows furrowed, not knowing what Dugu Yun was planning.
...
In Da Xia's capital, Tiandu, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, look quickly!" Suddenly, behind Emperor Ji Yuan, Eunuch Huang shouted in alarm, pointing at the sky, his face full of horror.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Ji Yuan and the others all looked up and saw the massive image above in the sky.
Displayed in it was the scene where Gu Chen faced off against the demonic sect leader Dugu Yun!
"This… Martial King is fighting a great battle with the demonic sect leader!" Seeing such a scene, everyone in Da Xia was greatly shocked.
Originally, they had already lost hope, but now seeing Gu Chen and Dugu Yun sparked a faint flame of hope deep in their hearts.
"Gu Chen!" Upon seeing this scene, Ji Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his expression very tense.
It was not only Tiandu; at this moment, the entire nine provinces, the whole world, everyone saw this scene.
"This… has the Martial King already begun fighting the demonic sect leader?"
"What's wrong with Yangzhou? Why does it look like this?"
"The Martial King, the last hope of the nine provinces. If he falls, we are all done for!"
"The Divine Human Realm, that's the Divine Human Realm ah, can we win? How can we win?!"
At that moment, the appearance of such images caused a great uproar across the nine provinces, capturing the attention of everyone.
Of course, with such a conspicuous appearance in the sky, it was hard not to attract attention. Whether they were martial artists or ordinary people, all could see clearly.
Moreover, this battle was a matter of life and death for all in the nine provinces. With the commotion caused by the resurrection of Dugu Yun, affecting the whole nine provinces, it was difficult not to pay attention.
...
Yangzhou.
Gu Chen looked up at the reflection of himself and Dugu Yun in the sky and, frowning slightly, said, "What have you done?"
The leader of the demonic sect, Dugu Yun, smiled faintly and said, "Aren't you very confident in yourself, convinced that you will win? So, let's have our battle watched by everyone in the nine provinces. Let the Human Clan die with their eyes wide open."
"In the face of absolute strength, everything is but an illusion. Under the watchful eyes of all, you will be devoured by me," said the demonic sect leader Dugu Yun, his pitch-black pupils without a trace of white, imbued with an intimidating pressure that was frightening, making people dread his gaze and feel as though their spirit was on the verge of collapse.
"Project this battle to the entire nine provinces?" Hearing this, Gu Chen remained indifferent. At the same time, the cultivation he had built up over six thousand six hundred years was also poised at a peak.
