Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1171 - 609: Goddess_2

Warriors from rival factions bellowed in terror, their cries brimming with dread. The sheer horror of this colossal clash left them unwilling to stay even an instant, prompting a frantic dash into the far-off horizon.

Sect Masters from numerous sects appeared utterly panic-stricken in that instant.

Relying on their personal power, they could scarcely endure the fearsome shockwaves from the clash among the Seven Great Saint Masters, managing only self-preservation without any means to safeguard their countless disciples.

It was only now that they abruptly understood why certain individuals had rushed their kin far from the Holy Road World upon departure.

Near the Holy Road's exit, the surrounding land spanning thousands of miles plunged into utter turmoil.

Fearsome Immortal Energy ravaged the Nine Provinces. Beneath this immense force's onslaught, the ground crumbled wildly, enormous fissures ripping open without cease.

The Tianlan Saint Mother positioned herself amid the mayhem, her face solemn as she swiftly executed sealing hand signs, unleashing potent spiritual power.

This spiritual power wrapped around all those nearby. Her sole intent: whisk everyone away from this perilously hazardous zone amid the ongoing fray of the Seven Great Saint Masters.

"Holy Mother, wait a moment."

Right as preparations mounted for departure, Gu Sheng’s voice echoed forth.

His call made the Holy Mother halt her movements sharply, leaving her mildly stunned.

Those nearby whipped their heads around too, fixing astonished stares on Gu Sheng, brimming with bewilderment over his choice to halt at such a dire juncture.

"The situation is urgent, whatever it is, say it quickly."

Gongsun Yue urged with impatience she couldn’t contain. This opening, forged by her father’s life-risking effort, rendered every moment and second invaluable, permitting no hint of squander.

"Perhaps we don’t need to run away."

Gu Sheng stated calmly, his ordinary tone stunning the entire group.

"What did you say?"

Gongsun Yue wondered if her ears deceived her, eyes flaring wide as she pressed the question.

"I said, maybe we don’t need to escape."

Gu Sheng reiterated patiently, without haste.

"You’re not joking, are you?"

Gongsun Yue eyed Gu Sheng with deep skepticism.

Had another uttered those words amid this crisis, she’d have brushed it off as drivel.

The peril loomed so gravely that even her formidable father staked his life; what prowess could a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Gu Sheng possibly wield?

Yet Gu Sheng’s exceptional feats within the Holy Road prevented her from wholly discarding his claim.

"Gu Sheng, this matter is serious, don’t treat it lightly."

The Holy Mother advanced, offering grave counsel.

The precious interval earned through the Saint Master’s sacrifice proved brief and vital. Forfeiting it spelled inconceivable catastrophe for them all.

"Rest assured, Holy Mother, I’m not one to speak irresponsibly."

Gu Sheng offered the group a steady, comforting gaze.

"What are you all doing, if you’re not leaving quickly?"

The Tianlan Saint Master, locked in defense against the Six Great Saint Masters’ onslaughts, bore crushing pressure.

A backward glance revealed Gu Sheng and companions rooted in place, unmoving, igniting his rage as he bellowed uncontrollably.

This escape window, bartered with his very life, demanded they not spurn it so!

"Saint Master, Gu Sheng says he has a plan."

The Holy Mother rushed ahead to clarify for the Saint Master.

"Do you know what you’re saying? He has a plan? Can he handle the Six Sacred Land Saint Masters?"

The Tianlan Saint Master’s fury surged anew, jolting all to their cores. Only then did the Holy Mother snap from her daze, grasping the sheer folly of her prior notion.

How could a Nascent Soul Realm youth ever repel the united might of Six Great Saint Masters?

Even should Gu Sheng claim the Holy Road Master’s inheritance inside the Holy Road, impossibility reigned supreme. Unless the Holy Road Master lived on—a notion utterly untenable.

"Saint Master, I really do have a way."

Noting the Saint Master’s utter disbelief, Gu Sheng pressed on with dismay.

"Shut up and leave quickly, don’t make me regret my good impression of you."

The Tianlan Saint Master replied icily, face etched with chill.

"Saint Master... "

Gu Sheng sought to continue.

"No more words, we’re leaving."

The Holy Mother, concurring with the Saint Master’s logic, cut Gu Sheng off briskly, readying to depart with the rest.

"Ha, you’re a foolish brat, given a chance to leave, yet you won’t go. Since that’s the case, don’t leave!"

The Qinghe Saint Master laughed uproariously. He gestured for the other five Saint Masters to press their barrage on the Tianlan Saint Master, then soared toward Gu Sheng.

Among Gu Sheng’s companions, solely the Tianlan Saint Mother could challenge a Saint Master.

Yet the Tianlan Saint Mother trailed the Saint Masters in might. She might endure briefly at most, but not indefinitely.

The instant the Qinghe Saint Master lunged, doom appeared inevitable for them.

"You idiot, you’ll get everyone killed!"

The Tianlan Saint Master lambasted Gu Sheng, though his deeds betrayed deeper resolve. He shifted to bar the Qinghe Saint Master, seeking a faint lifeline for all.

"Your opponent is us."

The Five Great Saint Masters, spotting the Tianlan Saint Master’s lapse, struck as one. Their already mighty union turned devastatingly supreme.

Their strikes nullified the Tianlan Saint Master’s blocks with ease.

"Alas, Ninth Elder, take them and go, I’ll cover the rear."

The Holy Mother sighed in resignation, choosing to remain as rearguard for the others’ flight.

"Holy Mother!"

The Ninth Elder grew instantly aghast, refusing to abandon her. Lingering spelled likely death for the Holy Mother.

"Go quickly, any more delay and we won’t make it back."

The Holy Mother’s face hardened, her command brooking no defiance.

"This... "

The Ninth Elder wrestled inwardly, pausing briefly.

"Fine, but make sure nothing happens to you; if something does, Tianlan Sacred Land won’t survive either."

The Ninth Elder yielded at last, nodding despite the Holy Mother’s unyielding will.

He flourished his hands, surging spiritual power forth as a colossal palm, seizing everyone for imminent flight.

A silhouette traversed the void, materializing at the Holy Road’s exit, sparking the Ninth Elder’s wrath.

"Gu Sheng, what are you doing?"

The Ninth Elder fumed truly now. All this disorder traced back to Gu Sheng.

Rather than gratitude, Gu Sheng defied by lingering, frittering away the Saint Master and Holy Mother’s sacrifices.

In wrathful fervor, he overlooked Gu Sheng’s astounding void-crossing prowess.

"Gu Sheng!"

Gongsun Yue seethed with shock and ire.

An escape shot existed, bought by her beloved parents’ peril.

Gu Sheng squandered it blatantly, stoking her fury.

"How long do you intend to stay here?"

Gu Sheng brushed aside their rebukes, hollering instead toward the Holy Road’s exit.

All onlookers brimmed with doubt and perplexity, clueless to his scheme.

Rumble! The cataclysmic tempest from the Five Great Saint Masters’ onslaught on the Tianlan Saint Master raged unchecked.

"What’s the rush? I’m assessing them for you."

A breezy, casual feminine voice wafted from the Holy Road’s exit.

This sent shudders through all six Saint Masters’ frames. The Tianlan Saint Master lit up with elation.

"It’s her!"

The Tianlan Saint Master whispered in thrilled mutter.

A form emerged: a detached woman cloaked in sacred purple radiance, akin to a celestial descending. She was the Tianxuan Divine Girl from the Upper Realm, with Bixuan at her side.

"It’s the Goddess from the Upper Realm!"

Cultivators who’d retreated afar buzzed suddenly, murmuring excitedly. "What does she mean, does she intend to help Gu Sheng?"

Questions flooded their minds.
