Tianxuan Divine Girl analyzed Qiankun Venerate King's arrogance, concluding he carries few trump cards or treasures. Qiankun rallied the fearful disciples of the Six Great Holy Lands to unite against Gu Sheng, assigning Kunpeng Taoist to join his frontal assault while others support from the flanks. Despite her severe injuries, Tianxuan Divine Girl offered to handle the group so Gu Sheng could focus on Qiankun, but he refused, urging her to recover.

Gu Sheng softly held her back before speaking, "No need to worry, rest easy. In my assessment of the current scenario, only Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist present a bit more challenge, while the rest barely threaten me at all.

I’ll handle them with utmost care and vigilance, so there’s no reason for excessive concern."

Gu Sheng thumped his chest with assurance, striving to ease the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s mind.

"Can you truly manage all of them alone?"

The Tianxuan Divine Girl’s worry lingered as she glanced at Qiankun Venerate King, whose Spiritual Power swirled fiercely around him, indicating a substantial recovery.

Her eyes shifted to Kunpeng Taoist as well; his aura remained stable, marking him as a formidable foe. Deep anxiety gripped the Tianxuan Divine Girl for Gu Sheng’s safety.

Gu Sheng flashed a bold smile and replied, "Without any exceptionally potent offensive Magical Treasures, I have no fears. My physical body’s strength surpasses others in the same realm by far, and typical sneak attacks can at worst cause minor wounds, never anything lethal.

What I must guard against is any secret trump card from Qiankun Venerate King. Yet at this juncture, I’ll proceed with full caution."

"Fine, just stay safe. If danger arises, I’ll rush in to assist without hesitation."

The Tianxuan Divine Girl nibbled her lip, choosing not to block Gu Sheng further.

Her condition was far too weakened now; forcing herself into the fray could inflict a lifelong wound, turning her into a liability for Gu Sheng.

This realization filled the Tianxuan Divine Girl with a sense of powerlessness.

Gu Sheng nodded firmly, fixing his gaze on Qiankun Venerate King and his allies. Every one of them was his foe, each having once sought his demise.

Gu Sheng snarled in fury, "Good, taking you all on at once will save me the hassle."

Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power erupted around him, unleashing a ferocious, overwhelming aura as he boldly surged toward the enemy group.

"Whoa, Brother Xiao’s facing them all solo!"

Luo Jun observed from afar, marveling as Gu Sheng fearlessly stormed the enemy lines alone, his voice bursting with amazement.

"That’s our Brother Xiao, utterly dominating!"

Miao Tiancheng, Gu Sheng’s loyal top subordinate, flushed with excitement. He gripped his fists tightly, yearning to charge in beside Gu Sheng, his eyes brimming with reverence.

Qiankun Venerate King had been strategizing with the Six Great Holy Lands’ members when Gu Sheng barreled toward them, igniting his rage instantly.

"Insolent brat!"

Qiankun Venerate King bellowed furiously, his Spiritual Power detonating as he rushed at Gu Sheng.

"I’ve roamed for countless years without encountering such brazenness. Today, you’ll suffer immensely!"

"If you’re that mighty, then who was scrambling in retreat during our earlier clash?"

Gu Sheng shot back icily, his retort dripping with mockery. He eyed the oncoming Qiankun Venerate King without a trace of dread, only provocation in his stare.

Qiankun Venerate King’s face twisted in rage at Gu Sheng’s taunt. Unable to suppress his wrath, he accelerated abruptly, closing in on Gu Sheng.

In his assault, he seized Kunpeng Taoist beside him and hurled him at Gu Sheng. "No faking injuries like before; try any schemes against me, and you’re dead first!" Qiankun Venerate King snarled menacingly.

Kunpeng Taoist seethed at being flung by Qiankun Venerate King but swallowed his anger. The threat sank in, chilling him and forcing him to drop all cunning thoughts.

Kunpeng Taoist had schemed to slip away amid the clash between Qiankun Venerate King and Gu Sheng, then stir chaos later to claim the inheritance. Qiankun Venerate King’s rebuke crushed that plan entirely.

"We’ll join forces to take him down first," Kunpeng Taoist resigned inwardly.

Led by Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist, the other Holy Lands’ prodigies surged ahead.

A storm of Magical Treasures and assaults rained down on Gu Sheng, blotting out the heavens.

Some unleashed Flying Swords straight for Gu Sheng’s throat; others brandished Dharma Seals, molding Spiritual Power into bizarre forms that hurtled toward him with earth-shattering force.

Any average Cultivator, regardless of prowess, would falter before such an onslaught.

Yet Gu Sheng stood fearless. His Heavenly Saint Body, ranked highest among the ten in the Purple Spirit Realm, rendered ordinary Spiritual Artifacts powerless against his flesh.

He merely needed to watch for Qiankun Venerate King, Kunpeng Taoist, and the Refining Dragon Saintess’s Eternal Buddha Robe; the rest he could disregard entirely.

Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, summoning the Ancient Reincarnation Bell from his storage ring, hoisting it overhead. Fearsome Spiritual Power fused with an overbearing physical might exploded outward.

Gu Sheng plunged into the midst of his foes.

Gu Sheng first clashed with Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist. Reaching Qiankun Venerate King, he slammed the Ancient Reincarnation Bell down savagely.

Qiankun Venerate King’s expression shifted in alarm, frantically lifting his Magical Treasure to parry.

A thunderous clash resounded, sending a violent Spiritual Power surge rippling out, warping the air nearby.

Qiankun Venerate King buckled under the impact, staggering backward repeatedly.

Kunpeng Taoist struck too, fanning a black torrent from his dark fan toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng felt the torrent’s immense power and evaded rather than confront, sidestepping swiftly. The black wave roared past, gouging a deep gash into the earth.

Capitalizing on the moment, Gu Sheng unleashed his fists at a Holy Land disciple sneaking up.

His punches packed devastating force, whipping up fierce gusts with every blow.

Cries and spurts of blood followed his hits. The Holy Lands’ elites crumbled before him; only a handful of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters dodged unscathed, while others struck lay crippled or slain.

Gu Sheng eyed Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist, then hurled the Ancient Reincarnation Bell at them before pivoting to the rest.

His plan was straightforward: eliminate the lesser foes first, then concentrate on Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist.

"Venerate King, help!"

The Holy Land disciples panicked at Gu Sheng’s approach, scrambling to flee, but his speed outmatched them.

"Stop him!"

Qiankun Venerate King fumed at Gu Sheng’s ferocity, stunned and incensed.

He decided swiftly, single-handedly blocking the Ancient Reincarnation Bell. His hands blurred in seal-forming, erecting a Spirit Barrier ahead to halt its momentum.

As Qiankun Venerate King resisted the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, he yelled at Kunpeng Taoist: "Kunpeng, intercept him!"

Kunpeng Taoist wavered at the command.

Gu Sheng’s savage presence chilled him, making him reluctant to engage solo.

Yet Qiankun Venerate King’s killing intent compelled him; he flared his own mighty aura and dashed at Gu Sheng.

Before Kunpeng Taoist neared, a terrifying Soul Power assault crashed onto him.

Gu Sheng swiftly raised defenses in his Sea of Consciousness.

After Old Monster Luo He’s prior Body Seizing attempt, he’d grown wary of Soul Power strikes. Luckily, the Holy Road Master’s inheritance had left immortal power from the Immortal Seed, aiding his breakthrough while mending his Soul Power and Sea of Consciousness.

This left him equipped to withstand Kunpeng Taoist’s Soul Power assault.

Kunpeng Taoist’s Soul Power assailed Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

Memories of past Soul Power threats flashed as he pursued Holy Land disciples; sensing it, he halted instantly, rallying his full Soul Power to layer shields within his Sea of Consciousness.

Kunpeng Taoist’s Soul Power relentlessly battered Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness.
