Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Everything he had just experienced was far too real; decades of experiences, day by day, hour by hour, even to every minute and second, were incredibly vivid.

Those experiences still lingered in Gu Chen's mind, and to this day, he couldn't forget them, as if he really had lived through the lives of ordinary people for decades.

"Is this the test of spirit..." Gu Chen's expression turned solemn as he felt the terror of Pure Yang Martial Sect's trial.

But before he had time to think further, in the next moment, the light before his eyes shifted, and he found himself in another place.

"Where is this..."

Looking at the bustling streets before him, Gu Chen frowned and said, "Is this Tiandu?"

Indeed, this time, Gu Chen had surprisingly returned to Tiandu.

"Gu Chen, what are you dazing here for, hurry up, the barbarians and the people from Da Yuan are attacking!" At that moment, Chen Yu appeared beside Gu Chen with an extremely serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was at first taken aback, then quickly drawn by Chen Yu to the front of Tiandu's main gate.

During this, he saw numerous figures rushing towards this location, and in the sky, a series of powerful qi presences emerged, each belonging to a Xiantian realm martial arts grandmaster, who were engaging in a fierce battle high in the heavens.

"Ah—"

The deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth, his shout tearing the sky apart. At that moment, he was surrounded by three attackers and was covered in blood, with his armor shattered in many places.

Witnessing this tragic scene, Gu Chen couldn't help but become engulfed in it.

"Da Yuan and the barbarians have actually attacked Tiandu?" Gu Chen's expression turned icy.

At that moment, Song Yu and Wang Yan appeared, both covered in blood, with half of their bodies gone, and their exposed bones stark white.

Seeing this, Gu Chen's eyes almost split with fury. Even though he was aware it was an illusion, a surge of anger still rose unbidden from the depths of his heart.

His figure flashed, and he arrived close to the two men, clenching his fists as he looked at their pale faces.

"Gu Chen... I and... Wang Yan... we are going to... go first..." As Song Yu's voice trailed off, his eyes gradually faded, and his vitality completely vanished.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

On the other side, Wang Yan looked dazed, muttering something in his mouth, that was the name of his fiancee. However, his voice got weaker and weaker, and eventually, just like Song Yu, his life faded away, and he died.

"How could it come to this!" Gu Chen suddenly erupted with fury. Song Yu and Wang Yan could be said to be Gu Chen's closest friends, and now they lay dead before him. Even though he was aware it was an illusion, Gu Chen's emotions were still greatly perturbed.

At this moment, not far away, Gu Chen saw a middle-aged man in black armor appear, his face stern. He shouted coldly towards Gu Chen, "You killed my son, Cao Zhen. Today, I will exterminate your entire clan!"

This man was none other than the Marquis of Pingxi!

Spurt!

Blood splattered, and somehow, Gu Chengfeng's whole family ended up in the hands of the Marquis of Pingxi. With an order from the Marquis of Pingxi, Xu Wei by his side swiftly decapitated Gu Chengfeng's family on the spot.

Just before their deaths, Gu Chengfeng, Xu Qinge, and Gu Qingyan still displayed deep horror on their faces. In their final moment, they opened their mouths, calling out Gu Chen's name.

"Ah..."

Witnessing this extremely shocking scene, Gu Chen's eyes turned bloodshot, and it seemed as if blood was about to spurt from his eyes.

"The Emperor of Da Xia has died, today, Da Xia shall fall!"

Experience more on empire

A detached voice echoed between heaven and earth, and outside Tiandu, countless armies surrounded the city. Among these people were demonic cults, Da Yuan, barbarians, as well as various martial arts factions from the Central Plains.

A pack of wolves hunting a dragon!

The dynasty of Da Xia, which had lasted for over five hundred years, was going to collapse in one day, and its era of prosperity destroyed in an instant.

"Kill!"

Chen Yu charged into the enemy's ranks alone, moving left and right through the fray. But ultimately, there were simply too many enemies, and in the end, after fighting to his last breath, Chen Yu fell dead from exhaustion.

Scene after scene assaulted Gu Chen's mind. Even though he kept telling himself time and again in his heart that this was an illusion, an overwhelming sense of murderous intent and anger began to grow in the deepest reaches of Gu Chen's heart, and this emotion grew stronger as time passed.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the test of spirit – and also the strongest trial – which targeted the most vulnerable point in one's soul.

Everyone has weaknesses; even great masters are no exception, for no matter how high their cultivation, they are still human, with the existence of seven emotions and six desires. There is no one who can avoid it.

"Kill!"

With a great roar, Gu Chen burst with rage, his killing intent reaching the skies as he directly charged at the enemy forces. Although his body was extraordinary and his divine strength unending, faced with the never-ending army, seemingly infinite, Gu Chen was overwhelmed, and ultimately, like Chen Yu, he met his demise.

But even in death, Gu Chen still harbored a heart full of fury and an unwillingness to concede. With a swish, the scene changed, and once again, he found himself back at the starting point.

The same scene, the same characters, the process the same, and naturally, the outcome was the same as well.

However, Gu Chen's rage and desire to kill did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it grew stronger. And so, the illusion repeated over and over, and Gu Chen died time and time again.

In the end, Gu Chen clearly knew this was an illusion, but he still charged out without hesitation.

Because, given the situation at the time, that was the only choice he could make.

He also thought of escaping or breaking the situation countless times in his experiences, but he was suppressed by an unknown expert in the sky with a palm strike. Thus, Gu Chen thought it was better to die in battle.
