Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Chen stood in place, his black hair cascading down to his waist, dancing in the wind. His surging vital essence spread out, enveloping the surrounding void, making his entire body glint with a faint golden luster as if he were a deity.

Facing the onrushing figure of Ananda, Gu Chen immediately threw a punch. A thunderous roar erupted, as if the very void could barely withstand the burden; his fist seemed like an ancient war chariot charging through the heavens.

Boom!

A torrential surge of qi suddenly rose up, and even the protective energy shield set up by a Xiantian realm Martial Grandmaster shook violently; the power of the clash between the two was simply too strong.

Upon seeing this, Master Gongsun suppressed the shock in his heart, mobilized the elemental qi of heaven and earth, and fortified the energy shield in the arena.

At once, only ripples spread across the energy shield, but it no longer shook as violently as before.

From beginning to end, Ananda's usually untroubled eyes now flashed with a hint of astonishment. He had not expected that Gu Chen had truly cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body.

For, once the flesh reached the Vajra Indestructible level, it was nearly akin to returning to the original and true state. As long as Gu Chen concealed his aura, there would be few in the world who could discern his true power.

Even for Grandmaster figures like Master Gongsun or Zha Jiedunzhu, they could only tell that Gu Chen's physical body was formidable, but it would be very difficult to detect that Gu Chen had achieved the Vajra Indestructible Body based on outward appearances.

"Good!"

At this moment, Ananda suddenly let out a loud shout, saying, "Today is indeed a rare opportunity, let the whole world witness whether it is your Vajra Indestructible Body, Lord Gu, that exceeds or if this monk's Dragon-Elephant True Body is unparalleled!"

"You are not capable!"

Gu Chen's voice rang out clear and powerful; his body was ablaze with golden light, and his eyes surged with an intense will to battle. Since achieving the Vajra Indestructible Body, he had not yet fully displayed its might.

Ananda now seemed a worthy opponent.

Boom!

The next moment, the two engaged in combat again, with Gu Chen's body shining as if it were cast from divine metal, gleaming dazzlingly. The robust vital essence he released made each of his punches seem like thunder descending from the heavens.

On the other side, backed by the phantom image of a dragon-elephant, Ananda, who had cultivated the Dragon-Elephant True Body, exhibited profound and boundless vital essence. His body shimmered with a strange luster, exhibiting immense strength as he engaged Gu Chen in a fierce and unrestrained close-quarters fight.

Crack!

The two exchanged blows incessantly, with thunderous sounds erupting now and again as if a swath of lightning descended upon the world, stunning the present age!

At this moment, they were like primordial beasts, engaging in the most primitive forms of attack, unleashing the innate instincts deep within their bodies in a battle of extreme intensity.

Instantly, they had exchanged over thirty moves, each hit meeting an equal force; neither backed down throughout.

Boom!

Another thunderous noise erupted; since Gu Chen reached the limit of his Vajra Indestructible Body, his divine strength was inexhaustible. Each punch he threw wielded tremendous force, like a surging sea, each strike stronger than the last.

His vital essence, manifesting as a pale gold, spilled out, its oppressive presence pronounced. It tinted his entire body golden, radiating a treasured brilliance, powerful and divine.

Dang!

A great tremor shook the void, with layers of ripples spreading outward. The colliding fists of the two fighters generated brilliant sparks of electricity around them and emitted a series of piercing, metallic sounds, loud and resounding!

Whoosh!

The next moment, two figures brushed past each other and split apart. Only then did the spectators clearly see the current state of the battle.

Ananda stood in place, breathing slightly heavily, clearly having expended a great deal of strength. His red kasaya was torn and ragged from Gu Chen's blows, revealing the bronzed body underneath.

On the other side, Gu Chen shone with a dazzling golden light, his hair glistening, his breath poised. Standing there, he showed no signs of exertion, in stark contrast to Ananda, the superior fighter evident.

"Good!"

Seeing this, the Crown Prince couldn't help but shout out loud. Da Xia needed this kind of swift and decisive victory to display its might.

Zha Jiedunzhu, however, showed a slightly somber expression, having not expected Ananda to be somewhat inferior in physical combat.

What he didn't know was that Gu Chen's Vajra Indestructible Body, even among all those who had achieved it in Jiuzhou, was at the forefront, even unique.

Because the foundation he built at each realm was simply too profound, this led to his body naturally becoming much stronger after breaking through to the Vajra Indestructible level.

Ananda's breathing was slightly erratic, but he was not injured. Although his Dragon-Elephant True Body was not as strong as Gu Chen's Vajra Indestructible Body, it was still exceptionally extraordinary.

"The monk concedes, Lord Gu, you indeed are a formidable adversary. As such, I can only give it my all," Ananda said solemnly, his body's cultivation already in motion.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Da Xia were instantly shocked. Could it be that in the battle just now, neither had exerted their full strength?!

Hearing these words, Gu Chen's eyes blazed even more fervently with the will to fight, twin divine beams shooting forth, his gaze burning bright. He said with a faint smile, "Whatever tricks you have, simply bring them all forth."

This composure, this grandeur, instantly comforted many of the onlookers.

"If Gu Chen wins this battle, this palace must surely reward him greatly!" The Crown Prince was also inspired, his expression invigorated.
