Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1155 601: Life and Death Sword (Part 2)

The Qiankun Venerate King witnessed the Tianxuan Divine Girl unleashing her secret technique and cried out in astonishment: "Tai Cang Blood Sacrifice Technique!"

He instantly identified this famous forbidden art from the Purple Spirit Divine Mountain, understanding it could dramatically boost one's strength once activated. Yet, he knew the price it demanded was utterly devastating.

Gazing at the Tianxuan Divine Girl, he couldn't hold back his scolding: "Your foundation remains far too fragile. Pushing this technique will at minimum erode your cultivation and harm your base, or worst, trigger a rampage in your Spiritual Power leading to immediate self-explosion!"

Instead of using this forbidden Ancient Secret Technique, the Tianxuan Divine Girl would fare better enduring his sword strike, which might leave a faint chance of survival.

The arrogant Tianxuan Divine Girl paid no heed whatsoever to the Qiankun Venerate King's warning.

Undeterred, she continued casting the secret technique on her own, swiftly conjuring one Ancient Seal after another with her hands, ready to infuse them into her own body.

Suddenly, an unforeseen event unfolded. A hand shot up from beneath, firmly seizing the Tianxuan Divine Girl's right leg.

This abrupt twist made the Tianxuan Divine Girl's lithe form quiver faintly.

Staring downward in shock, she saw the previously shut purple-gold lotus now blooming open, with Gu Sheng stirring to life inside it.

Gu Sheng stretched out to clutch the Tianxuan Divine Girl's right leg, unleashing a torrent of mighty energy from his core.

This force rushed straight into the Tianxuan Divine Girl's body without delay.

Oddly enough, despite its overwhelming nature, the energy turned remarkably mild once it entered the Tianxuan Divine Girl.

It halted the Tianxuan Divine Girl's secret technique smoothly, without inflicting any real damage on her.

This feat demonstrated that Gu Sheng's mastery of Spiritual Power had ascended to an elite level.

"Thank you for risking your life to save me. From here on, leave it to me." Gu Sheng murmured gently, his tone infused with reassuring power.

Emerging from the purple-gold lotus, he positioned himself ahead of the Tianxuan Divine Girl, shielding her firmly in his rear.

Though his frame looked rather slender, the instant he stood guarding the Tianxuan Divine Girl, the horrifying Demonic Qi that had blanketed the heavens dissipated in a flash.

An aura of profound tranquility radiated from Gu Sheng, washing over the Tianxuan Divine Girl like never before.

Gu Sheng showed no outward signs of cultivation, but his innate assurance deeply influenced her.

She found herself imagining that Gu Sheng could genuinely overpower the Qiankun Venerate King—a bold notion that lingered stubbornly in her thoughts.

"You worthless piece of filth, you finally dare to come out!" Spotting Gu Sheng emerge, the Qiankun Venerate King sneered triumphantly, convinced his sword had driven him out.

In his mind, Gu Sheng had only barely cleared the inheritance trial, nowhere near claiming the fabled supreme inheritance.

"Hehe." Gu Sheng responded with a mocking chuckle.

Eyes fixed on the plunging overbearing Sword Qi, Gu Sheng stayed utterly composed. He unsheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword from his side; as it materialized, a savage aura exploded forth.

Wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword, Gu Sheng swung it leisurely at the Sword Qi. The motion looked effortless, yet it harbored boundless might.

"Facing death, you still dare to act pretentious! Die for me!" Fury boiled in the Qiankun Venerate King at Gu Sheng's blatant scorn for his assault.

He was certain Gu Sheng meant to taunt him deliberately. With the colossal force behind his sword, even if Gu Sheng snagged the inheritance, such brief time couldn't yield massive gains to block this lethal blow.

His power had hit the world's ceiling; any push beyond invited heavenly retribution.

"Gu Sheng!" From the sidelines, Gongsun Yue observed Gu Sheng brushing off the Qiankun Venerate King's strike, her breaths coming in anxious gasps.

"Ignorant fool." Murong Qingcheng watched from afar, her features twisted in venomous disdain.

Wherever the Qiankun Venerate King's sword passed, its Sword Qi ripped space asunder with ease. The whole cosmos quaked fiercely beneath the Sword Qi's onslaught.

In stark contrast, Gu Sheng's Sword Qi appeared subdued, swung casually amid the spectacular chaos, looking strangely mismatched.

The Qiankun Venerate King poured out his utmost cultivation, his power surging skyward. Earlier, even the Mysterious Taoist had fallen swiftly to his blade.

Fearsome Sword Qi, laced with the supreme essence of life and death, shredded through myriad meters of Void, halting just three feet over Gu Sheng's head.

The crushing pressure warped the nearby space into distortions.

Confronted by this ultimate horror of a sword, Gu Sheng's mind stayed perfectly serene.

In the assessment's climactic phase, he endured endless cycles of reincarnation. That grueling marathon honed his spirit to rival centuries-old veterans.

With steady poise, he slashed the Dragon Slayer Sword toward the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword.

As Dragon Slayer Sword met Life and Death Sword, a sharp cracking ring resounded.

The Dragon Slayer Sword buckled under the Life and Death Sword's fury, fractures spiderwebbing across it.

Victorious laughter boomed from the Qiankun Venerate King.

Gongsun Yue and the rest gasped as they watched the Dragon Slayer Sword shatter.

Something felt off to the Tianxuan Divine Girl, though she couldn't quite grasp it.

Right when the Qiankun Venerate King and others deemed Gu Sheng's fate sealed, the fractured Dragon Slayer Sword ignited in brilliant purple radiance.

Fragments of the sword body unleashed piercing Sword Qi from dual angles, hurtling directly at the Qiankun Venerate King.

Gu Sheng's presence shifted dramatically, erupting with the colossal aura of Nascent Soul Realm peak.

This staggering aura left every onlooker stunned.

Shock widened the Qiankun Venerate King's eyes—not just at Gu Sheng's lightning-fast breakthrough, but at how solidly rooted that aura felt.

It resembled a presence tempered at Nascent Soul Realm peak for years, not a fresh ascension.

A chill of dread crept over him, confirming Gu Sheng had seized the supreme inheritance.

Despair crashed upon him with that realization.

In raging defiance, the Qiankun Venerate King bellowed. Refusing defeat, he ignored the peril from Gu Sheng's splintered sword, gritting his teeth to press his swing at Gu Sheng.

He resolved to trade wounds. The Life and Death Sword's devastation was unmatched; no matter Gu Sheng's hardy frame, it couldn't survive such a cataclysmic hit. Slaying Gu Sheng justified any grievous wounds he might take.

A frosty smirk played on Gu Sheng's lips as he eyed the Qiankun Venerate King's desperate frenzy. His fingers danced through seals, calling forth the Ancient Reincarnation Bell.

This Ancient Reincarnation Bell formed part of the Holy Road Master's legacy. Across the Reincarnation World, Gu Sheng had wielded it through numerous possessions.

Executing it now in the real world stirred a strange wave of déjà vu within him.

Apprehension flickered in the Qiankun Venerate King's stare at the Ancient Reincarnation Bell Gu Sheng invoked, but madness swiftly reclaimed his face as he sought to demolish it and press on toward Gu Sheng's death.

Disciples from the Six Great Holy Lands observed from afar as Gu Sheng brandished a bronze ancient bell against the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword, shaking their heads in pity at his suicidal folly.

Ignorant of the Ancient Reincarnation Bell's true heritage, they recognized only the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword and the Tianxuan Divine Girl's Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship as the Holy Road's premier treasures.

Having just seen the Dragon Slayer Sword crumble, deploying yet another relic from Xinghong Spirit Domain against an Upper Realm Divine Artifact screamed self-destruction.

In truth, the Qiankun Venerate King had beheld the Ancient Reincarnation Bell's prowess firsthand—its dread potency rivaling his own Life and Death Sword.

Still, bloodlust clouded his vision. He pressed on for two reasons: first, certainty that Gu Sheng's rushed summoning couldn't unleash the bell's full potential; second, faith in his overwhelming might to cleave the bell apart and bisect Gu Sheng afterward.

Sacrificing heavy injury for Gu Sheng's demise struck him as a bargain well worth making.

As the Life and Death Sword plummeted with ruinous force upon the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, Gu Sheng advanced a step, gripping the bell firmly with both hands.

A ferocious physical aura exploded from his lean build.

This presence brimmed with tyrannical dominance, as if containing limitless might.

Empowered by this aura, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell unleashed earth-shattering force, smashing head-on into the supremely potent Life and Death Sword.
