Gu Sheng confidently reassured the Tianxuan Divine Girl of his ability to handle Qiankun Venerate King, Kunpeng Taoist, and the Holy Land geniuses before charging into battle alone. Wielding the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, he clashed fiercely with the leaders while overpowering and severely injuring the weaker opponents with ruthless punches. Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist struggled to contain his assault, as Kunpeng unleashed a powerful Soul Power attack battering Gu Sheng's Sea of Consciousness defenses.

A piercing pain stabbed through Gu Sheng's head, paling his face. Yet he clenched his teeth, stubbornly bearing the brunt of this assault.

Kunpeng Taoist’s soul power strike proved truly mighty, though it fell far short when measured against Old Monster Luo He.

Having endured the Holy Road Master’s trial, Gu Sheng's willpower had surged dramatically, letting him confront soul power assaults with much greater calm than previously.

A sudden ambush from Kunpeng Taoist might have triumphed. However, in a direct clash against an alert Gu Sheng, overpowering him was plainly impossible.

Having weathered the blow, rage twisted Gu Sheng's features. In a flash, he hurled his fist forward—a strike brimming with horrifying might, potent enough to pulverize a colossal mountain. Whistling fiercely through the air, the punch rocketed toward Kunpeng Taoist.

Kunpeng Taoist stared at the hurtling fist closing in rapidly, his visage draining of all color. Soul power attacks marked his only edge over Gu Sheng; any head-on collision spelled inevitable doom for him.

Qiankun Venerate King intervened just in time. With a vigorous sweep, he batted the Ancient Reincarnation Bell away, surging forward with the Life and Death Sword. A sharp twist of his wrist unleashed a tyrannical Destruction Sword Qi, shredding space along its devastating path.

Sensing the overwhelming force in that sword qi, Gu Sheng refused to block it outright, compelled to withdraw briefly and dodge aside.

Qiankun Venerate King urged Kunpeng Taoist, "Focus solely on soul power attacks; don’t worry about anything else."

He grasped the potency of Kunpeng Taoist’s soul power strikes and sought to maximize their use.

Kunpeng Taoist agreed at once, replying, "Alright."

Leading the charge, Qiankun Venerate King darted nimbly, unleashing a barrage of strikes at Gu Sheng. The Life and Death Sword in his grip cleaved with brutal force, every swing packed with tremendous impetus.

Kunpeng Taoist provided support from afar, intermittently firing off soul power waves to throw Gu Sheng off balance.

The remaining Holy Land Disciples kept busy too, relentlessly pestering and ambushing Gu Sheng from every angle.

Gu Sheng’s bodily resilience was genuinely staggering. Even direct hits from the Holy Land Disciples inflicted only shallow cuts.

Beyond that, his extraordinary regenerative powers rendered those trifling wounds meaningless; they healed in moments, leaving no trace behind.

Thanks to their vast numerical edge, Qiankun Venerate King’s faction managed to halt the prior collapse, steadying the fight for now.

Gu Sheng, facing the horde solo without a hint of dread, maintained icy composure amid the relentless fury of countless Holy Land prodigies.

He deftly countered the savage onslaughts from Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist, exploiting gaps to savagely claim the lives of Holy Land geniuses.

The skirmish unleashed colossal aftershocks, cataclysmic energies rampaging outward in all directions.

Geniuses of the Six Great Holy Lands dropped one by one amid piercing shrieks.

Qiankun Venerate King commanded this formidable array—Kunpeng Taoist plus swarms of Holy Land geniuses—all mobilized purely to subdue lone Gu Sheng.

Yet even more astounding, despite their myriad superiorities, they couldn’t subdue Gu Sheng and instead endured nonstop slaughter at his hands.

Onlookers' hearts pounded wildly. Even those from Xinghong Spirit Domain, to say nothing of Tianxuan Divine Girl, reeled in profound shock at the scene.

Bixuan gawked nearby with eyes bulging and jaw slack, murmuring, "Qiankun Venerate King is renowned as a peerless genius in the Purple Spirit Realm, yet even with so many allied geniuses, they cannot take down Gu Sheng. This is too unbelievable."

She kept wondering if it was all a dream, pinching her thigh viciously. The searing agony there convinced her beyond doubt that the spectacle before her was utterly real.

Qiankun Venerate King threw everything into the fray, clashing explosively with the Ancient Reincarnation Bell over and over. His allies' efforts paled miserably by contrast.

Apart from Kunpeng Taoist offering scant peril to Gu Sheng, the others' blows landed like feeble scratches. This clashed sharply with his earlier presumptions.

He raged inwardly, "I must kill him, if I don’t, my reputation in this lifetime will be completely ruined!"

Steel-willed, Qiankun Venerate King brandished his sword, lashing out at fellow Holy Land Disciples. His blindingly swift strikes caught them flat-footed, felling several utterly defenseless.

This abrupt betrayal stunned everyone present.

Not a single Holy Land Disciple foresaw Qiankun Venerate King striking his comrades.

Fuming deep down, they yielded to his crushing dominance, choking back fury with gritted teeth, fighting Gu Sheng all the fiercer just to survive.

The battlefield erupted in a frenzy of diverse assault techniques. Holy Land Disciples self-destructed myriad wondrous treasures, spawning a nightmarish torrent that barreled toward Gu Sheng.

Sensing peril like never before, Gu Sheng abandoned offense for total defense. He swiftly invoked the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, stationing it in front as a bulwark, its vaunted defenses absorbing the endless explosive onslaughts.

Honoring its fabled protective prowess, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell fully neutralized the Holy Land Disciples' rabid barrages.

With Gu Sheng cornered, Qiankun Venerate King secretly messaged Kunpeng Taoist in haste, "I’m going to slice him; seize the opportunity for a fatal strike!"
