Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1206 - 627: Certain Death

Disciples standing too near were blasted away by the overwhelming force, spewing blood immediately, even including multiple Core Disciples possessing Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

"Hahahaha, just with you? You actually claim you'd support the sky if it collapses? Completely deluding yourself about your strength!" Qiankun Venerate King guffawed while jabbing a finger at Gu Sheng, his face twisted in utter scorn.

Murmurs started spreading among the nearby disciples.

A senior Core Disciple revealed intense dread in his gaze and whispered: "Qiankun Venerate King's power is utterly horrifying. His laugh alone brought me a deadly peril. If he truly attacks us, I fear nobody can withstand it."

Ju Jiarong, another past rival for the Saint Heir spot, nodded too, his tone filled with resignation: "That's right. While I believe my own power isn't bad, against Qiankun Venerate King, I have to admit I'm nowhere near his level.

He's far too formidable; there's no way we can oppose him."

The faces of everyone shifted dramatically, their fear toward Qiankun Venerate King's might growing ever deeper.

Qiankun Venerate King overheard the surrounding chatter and grew even more smug.

With a cold sneer, he stretched out his hand, materializing the Primordial Life and Death Sword within his grip.

Clutching the longsword tightly, he aimed it menacingly at Gu Sheng and declared: "Gu Sheng, surrender your fiancé to this Young Master right now, and this Young Master will let your sister go free. Otherwise, this Young Master guarantees she'll wish for death over life!"

Gu Sheng's fury blazed upon hearing Qiankun Venerate King's threat. His eyes reddened, and the energy inside him erupted uncontrollably.

"Qiankun Venerate King, you're pushing it too much!"

Gu Sheng bellowed furiously, his aura exploding upward alongside.

Qiankun Venerate King detected that Gu Sheng's bodily power had clearly advanced by a wide margin.

"Hmph, after just a few days apart, your physique has gotten a bit stronger—what then? Before overwhelming might, all efforts are in vain."

As Qiankun Venerate King uttered this, he began channeling his inner energies, bracing for Gu Sheng's incoming strike.

Ignoring Qiankun Venerate King's taunts entirely, Gu Sheng strode ahead boldly.

Mighty spiritual energy swirled around his form, elevating his presence to the Nascent Soul Realm's zenith.

That spiritual energy kept surging higher, smashing directly through to the Earth Palace Realm.

"What?!"

Qiankun Venerate King had assumed Gu Sheng held only Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, and despite the bolstered body, he'd never stand a chance.

Yet seeing Gu Sheng's aura surge into the Earth Palace Realm left him utterly stunned.

Gu Sheng's imposing presence pressed on relentlessly, surging right into early Earth Palace Realm.

Having just come back from the Holy Road not long ago and only in his early twenties, Gu Sheng attaining this level was simply mind-blowing.

Furthermore, his fighting prowess was phenomenal, overpowering those hailed as peerless geniuses in the same realm by all. Such talent and power were unheard of throughout the entire Xinghong Spirit Domain.

The Elder Hall elders, typically worldly and wise, stared at one another in shock.

Daoist Xiushan and Daoist Tianji radiated prideful smiles. This breakthrough was precisely as they anticipated—Gu Sheng had harnessed the brewing Heavenly Thunder's force to ascend.

Thinking back to their own terror atop Divine Wind Thunder Mountain, they felt a mix of lingering awe and delight at their early discernment of Gu Sheng's exceptional potential.

Qiankun Venerate King's earlier arrogance and self-importance gave way to sheer panic upon witnessing Gu Sheng's breakthrough to Earth Palace Realm.

He involuntarily remembered the agonizing defeats under Gu Sheng's suppression along the Holy Road, memories that carved a permanent mental trauma.

He only mustered courage to confront Gu Sheng when his own realm vastly outstripped the other. With realms now equal, dread flooded his heart.

"Gu Sheng, you merely stumbled into fortune, yet act so presumptuous!" Qiankun Venerate King yelled harshly yet feebly, attempting to mask his mounting terror.

Gu Sheng cast a frigid glance at Qiankun Venerate King and responded indifferently: "Qiankun Venerate King, today you will realize that even at the same realm, you stand no chance whatsoever against me." The moment the words escaped, both silhouettes shot forward.

Qiankun Venerate King struck first, lifting the Primordial Life and Death Sword overhead. A single slash birthed a cataclysmic Sword Qi that wailed forth. Torrents of Demonic Qi poured from the blade, morphing into hordes of savage demons that clawed and swarmed toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng let out a disdainful cold snort, showing no hint of fear. His five fingers swiftly formed a fist, drawing endless spiritual power and overbearing physical might into it.

Suddenly, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell materialized overhead. This majestic bell radiated a timeless and mighty aura, unleashing an invincible defensive surge.

Gu Sheng wielded the Ancient Reincarnation Bell like a shield to block the demon’s assaults, while thrusting his fist forward like a spear, he fearlessly rushed toward Qiankun Venerate King.

Their Magic Artifacts clashed first, unleashing a ferocious storm from the collision site that swiftly expanded outward.

Gu Sheng’s fist smashed solidly onto the Primordial Life and Death Sword, and with a "boom," its Sword Qi detonated, morphing into a torrent of swords that scattered in every direction.

That sword barrage cut like razors, slashing deep furrows into the ground wherever it fell. Fierce as it was, the sword rain failed to deal heavy damage to Gu Sheng, simply shredding his robes and flesh with light gashes.

Overpowered by Gu Sheng’s tremendous force, Qiankun Venerate King staggered back more than ten steps, each footfall shattering the earth and flinging shards airborne.
