Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1473 - 343 Seven Star Destruction Formation

On the trail of the divine medicine, Gu Chen discovered the location of Jin Hong from the Golden Roc Clan, a half-step paramount figure. He launched a mighty strike, and in the blink of an eye, defeated him and ruthlessly stomped him into the ground.

As for his clansman, Gu Chen decapitated him in an instant. The head flew off, blood gushed, turning into a massive golden roc lying on the ground.

Gu Chen was dominant, standing on Jin Hong’s chest as they crashed to the ground. It was a pity that no one was around; otherwise, any cultivators present would surely be shocked to their core.

After all, Jin Hong was a half-step paramount, having cultivated a Great Power to the fourth rank, almost achieving perfection in the laws!

Yet now, he was effortlessly pinned to the ground by Gu Chen, half of his body badly mutilated, which was quite shocking.

"I misjudged and was careless," sighed Jin Hong at this moment.

Gu Chen frowned, and the next moment, he saw Jin Hong, who he was firmly standing on, turn into a beam of golden light and vanish, then reassembled a hundred yards away from him.

His battered body had healed, though Jin Hong’s complexion was slightly pale, and a trace of blood still remained on the corner of his mouth.

"Truly a half-step paramount," Gu Chen murmured, somewhat surprised.

Such so-called fatal injuries and bodily destruction were quickly healable at this level. Of course, this would consume one’s origin, so it couldn’t be used as limitlessly as the demonic beings.

This slight paleness was indeed the reason for Jin Hong’s appearance.

"You are indeed extraordinary, truly the greatest genius ever recognized in the 3,600 realms of the upper world," Jin Hong said earnestly, no longer daring to underestimate Gu Chen.

Otherwise, he felt that today he would be defeated and perish here.

"Peng Feather True Sword, annihilate everything!" whispered Jin Hong. His whole body radiated golden light, and the void clanged with sound, as feathers transformed into divine swords, slashing forcefully at Gu Chen.

This was the top secret technique of the Golden Roc Clan, and their most proficient move; the stronger the practitioner, the tougher their feathers, and the more formidable the swords they transformed into.

Now, with Jin Hong, a half-step paramount, taking action, the power was earth-shatteringly tremendous.

In just an instant, sword energy surged, and golden light surged, covering tens of thousands of yards, the sky and earth full of sword scars, then cracking with a snap.

However, Gu Chen’s physical body was unparalleled. Having reached the mid-phase of Ascension Realm after six nirvanas, impressed with seven war marks in his body, the Peng Feather Sword Technique was useless against him, unable to harm him at all.

"Peng Feather True Sword!" Seeing this, Jin Hong’s pupils tightened, sensing Gu Chen’s terror. He changed the hand seals, and 180,000 swords merged into a colossal heavenly sword as large as mountains, slashing at Gu Chen.

"Primordial Fairy Body!"

Gu Chen roared softly, channeling the power of his physical body, and from thousands of pores, wisps of fairy light spread, eventually swirling around his fist, striking out with his blood heated intensely.

Clang!

A thunderous sound echoed; the Peng Feather True Sword was sent flying while Gu Chen stood unharmed, his immense physical power fully demonstrated in this moment.

"How is this possible?!" Jin Hong exclaimed, a flash of disbelief in his eyes, finding Gu Chen’s rate of improvement terrifying.

"Has he really been in the Ascension Realm for less than half a year?" Jin Hong murmured, his sense of crisis intensifying.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Jin Hong roared, no longer hesitating, there was nothing left to probe, directly utilizing his fourth-rank Great Power!

With a thunderous boom, a divine roc descended between heaven and earth, its gaze cold and ruthless, its body immensely huge, shrouding the entire area, turning it profoundly dark.

The laws surged violently like tidal waves, the golden light of order flickered, as Jin Hong borrowed the supreme fairy spirit power hidden in his bloodline, pushing this strike to its maximum strength.

"Peng Emperor’s imprint, huh?" Gu Chen mused to himself, looking at the divine roc, lifelike and nearly indistinguishable from reality.

Jin Hong, through his understanding of the laws and the power of his bloodline, combined the two to stir heaven and earth, summoning the virtual shadow of the last great era’s supreme Peng Emperor in this obscure way, intending to mercilessly vanquish Gu Chen.

Although it was just a shadow, being of the last great era’s supreme beings, still a fairy spirit, and activated by a half-step paramount, it not only had form but also emanated a breath of divinity. This vibration made even Gu Chen take it seriously, causing him some alarm.

"Seal!"

The next moment, a glyph flashed on Gu Chen’s fingertips, he flicked his finger, and Jin Hong, unable to even dodge, was directly hit into his body.

"Huh?!"

Jin Hong was shocked, a very bad premonition arose in his heart, without thinking, he prepared to use the divine roc shadow to kill Gu Chen.

However, as soon as the Sealing Glyph entered his body, it was already too late for anything.

Buzz!

The next moment, a flash of light, and all phenomena in heaven and earth disappeared, Jin Hong lost his powers, becoming like a mortal.

Without his cultivation to support it, the Peng Emperor shadow filling heaven and earth also gradually dissipated, merging into nothingness.

"What sorcery is this?!" Jin Hong was utterly alarmed.

"The sorcery to kill you!" Gu Chen spoke, stepping forward, preparing to strike down Jin Hong.

"You think a half-step paramount is that easy to kill!" Jin Hong roared, using the last of his strength, he deployed a magical artifact, with world-shaking mighty power.

That was a sacred force!

"A sacred artifact?!" Gu Chen was surprised, for here was not like the sacred realm, where no ceilings existed; sacred artifacts could indeed be brought in.

The power of the sacred artifact erupted, comparable to a blow from a Primordial Realm paramount, booming across the land, sprawling who knows how far, everything about to be annihilated into nothingness.

"Does not belong to Jin Hong!"

Gu Chen recognized it at a glance; this sacred artifact couldn’t possibly belong to Jin Hong because it was activating on its own.

"Suppress it for me!"

With a lift of his eyebrows and a stern look in his eyes, Gu Chen’s left hand emitted a light even more blazing than the divine sun. The ripples spread like the sea, and while wearing the Heavenly Dome Fist Guards, he directly restrained the sacred artifact.

After so many years of refining, the Heavenly Dome Fist Guards might not be fully restored, but they were nearly half-repaired, making their power terrifyingly formidable!

After the light dissipated, the sacred artifact was suppressed and taken by Gu Chen into the Cosmic Cauldron, to be absorbed later when an opportunity arises.

"He ran quite fast." Gu Chen frowned; he did not expect Jin Hong to be so decisive and flee while he was dealing with the sacred artifact.

That is to say, the opponent gave up a sacred artifact just for the sake of surviving.

One can only say that Jin Hong’s judgement was very correct.

Meanwhile, at the very moment that Gu Chen was sealing Jin Hong’s sacred artifact into the Cosmic Cauldron, in the Upper Realm, Peng domain.

Two beams of golden light lit the heaven and earth. The ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan opened his eyes slightly furrowed and said, "Jin Hong’s sacred artifact has fallen."

"Hmm?" The other four peerless beings, the leader of the Three-Eyed God Clan, the head of the Fire Sect, the master of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the lord of the Nine Heavens Hall,

opened their eyes in succession. The ones here were just their avatars; their true bodies were all in their own domains suppressing restricted areas for sentient beings to prevent any accidents. However, everything that happened here would be synchronized to their true selves.

"Is it that junior?" The leader of the Three-Eyed God Clan spoke up, knowing that the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan would not speak without cause. The face of the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan darkened slightly. The sacred artifact was given to Jin Hong by him partly to deal with Gu Chen and partly in hope that he would seize the opportunity of the Creation Heaven.

Now, with the sacred artifact lost, it was a considerable loss for the Golden Roc Clan as well.

"There’s my mark on it; at the last moment, I sensed a force of the Space Dao sealing it, which, without accident, should be the work of the Cosmic Cauldron."

"That young beast is actually so strong, reaching the level to contend with Jin Hong?" The head of the Fire Sect frowned.

The other three peerless figures also had solemn expressions, which was not good news for them.

"No worries, it’s just a junior; perhaps Tai Shi gave him some means, or it could be the Cosmic Cauldron further recovering We can’t be sure if he relied on his own power to contend with Jin Hong,

said the lord of the Nine Heavens Hall.

The master of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace said, "No matter how capable he might be, as long as he hasn’t broken through to the Primordial Realm, he can’t stir up any waves. I have already prepared a contingency for Shen Ziyan, with the Seven Star Destruction Formation at hand; below the Primordial Realm, no one who comes will stand a chance of survival."

"You have a keen insight, my friend. With the Seven Star Destruction Formation ready, even if that junior reaches the full completion of the Ascension Realm, his death is certain," said the ancient ancestor of the Golden Roc Clan and the four others, their expressions calming down once again.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jin Hong’s escape took nearly half an hour before he broke through the seal within his body, restoring his power and becoming the renowned Half-Step Supreme.

"Phew..." Seeing his cultivation restored, Jin Hong quickly took a deep breath; that period had truly frightened him.

Under normal circumstances, facing any hint of danger, his life might be lost. Hence he did not dare to return to the gathering with Shen Ziyan and the others.

After all, they did not all come from the same power, and it was certain that they all had their own agendas. Seeing him in such a state, it wouldn’t be surprising if Shen Ziyan and the others made their move.

"Gu Chen, truly terrifying!" Jin Hong’s expression was grave. Now, he had no interest in divine medicines and quickly returned to that minor world, informing Shen Ziyan and the others of what had happened.

They were seated here and were quite surprised to see Jin Hong return looking like he had suffered a loss, especially after listening to what he had to go through, their brows furrowed even more deeply.

"How exactly has this youngster cultivated to reach such a realm?" Zhu Xu of the Fire Sect gritted his teeth, filled with immense resentment.

Gu Chen had killed his younger brother, a grudge that Zhu Xu had always remembered.

Hearing that the opponent had suppressed Jin Hong, it would be strange for him to feel good about it, especially since he wasn’t stronger than Jin Hong; they were only more or less equally matched.

"No worries, I have a way to deal with him," said Shen Ziyan of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, his expression as calm as ever.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Jin Hong and the others all turned their attention to him.

Seeing this, Shen Ziyan, with an unflustered demeanor, casually said, "Have you fellows heard of the Seven Star Destruction Formation?"

"Seven Star Destruction Formation!" Upon hearing this, Jin Hong and the others exclaimed in shock. This was a unique formation of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace,

powerful and peerless, constituting one of their foundations, rarely seen in the world!

"If Brother Shen knows how to arrange this formation, then even if that Gu Chen has sky-high abilities, he will fall this time!" Zhan Shen of the Three-Eyed God Clan’s eyes brightened.

The Seven Star Destruction Formation, a formation that requires at least seven cultivators of either the Ascension Realm or the Primordial Realm, along with seven sacred artifacts to set up.

Once the formation is complete, its power is unmatched; if conducted by seven Primordial Realm powerhouses, it is considered invincible below the realm of seeking Dao!

This formation was only something others had heard about; the Ten Thousand Stars Palace had not displayed it for a long time, but in ancient times, its reputation had shaken the Upper Realm.

"But, we only have five people here, and Brother Jin is missing one sacred artifact; I’m afraid it would be difficult to arrange the Seven Star Destruction Formation, wouldn’t it?" Chong Xiao, the Half-Step Supreme of the Nine Heavens Hall, hesitated.

Shen Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "No worries, is it not easy to find people? As you know, in the Upper Realm, Gu Chen has made quite a few enemies. Although it’s not like they are everywhere, there are certainly no fewer."

"Very good!"

"Actually, I think, treating it as a last resort is fine. When we combine forces, that youngster will not be able to compete!"

"Indeed, during this time, let us first amass our strength and quietly wait for the opportunity of the All Laws Pool to appear. At that time, we can use this formation to secure a decisive victory once and for all!"
