Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1207 - 627: Certain Death (Part 2)

This brief clash lasted merely a few breaths, yet it stunned the surrounding crowd into collective gasps of shock.

The spectators marveled at the overwhelming might unleashed by Qiankun Venerate King's techniques, but were even more stunned by Gu Sheng's dominance, effortlessly subduing Qiankun Venerate King despite sharing the same realm.

Taiyi Immortal King observed from the sidelines, cold sweat dripping down as Qiankun Venerate King gained the upper hand no more.

He had previously questioned Qiankun Venerate King's loss to Gu Sheng, suspecting exaggeration. Yet, seeing Gu Sheng overpower him firsthand made Taiyi Immortal King grasp the full extent of Gu Sheng's formidable strength.

"This Gu Sheng truly lives up to his reputation!" Taiyi Immortal King muttered under his breath, relieved he hadn't foolishly turned Gu Sheng into an enemy before.

Tianxuan Divine Girl lingered amid the onlookers, her stunning eyes wide with disbelief.

In this pure same-realm showdown, Gu Sheng's suppression of Qiankun Venerate King proved beyond doubt that his power exceeded his opponent's.

"It seems Gu Sheng is destined for greatness."

Overpowered by Gu Sheng, Qiankun Venerate King seethed with humiliation and fury. Without unleashing everything, defeat loomed inevitable this day.

He summoned every ounce of Spiritual Power inside him, gearing up to deploy the Supreme Immortal Sect's mightiest sword art—the Traceless Demon Sword.

Demonic Qi exploded around Qiankun Venerate King, saturating the whole Elder Hall. Its thick veil shrouded half the heavens, draping the world in shadow.

Clutching the Primordial Life and Death Sword, Qiankun Venerate King recited a spell, causing the blade's demonic runes to blaze brighter.

"Gu Sheng, today is the day of your demise!" Qiankun Venerate King bellowed, slashing with the Primordial Life and Death Sword as black Sword Qi screamed forth.

Unlike prior attacks, this Sword Qi advanced silently, yet pulsed with devastating force, carving dark spatial tears in its wake.

"Is this truly the Supreme Immortal Sect’s strongest Martial Technique? Such terrifying power!"

"Indeed, with this strike, the Elder Hall might be leveled to the ground."

"Gu Sheng is in danger now; no matter how strong he is, facing such a powerful technique is hard to resist," the crowd murmured, breaking into sweat for Gu Sheng.

A crisp voice pierced the air. "Qiankun Venerate King, relying on your superior techniques to bully a junior, how is that heroic! If you have the guts, face him with techniques of the same level!" Tianxuan Divine Girl was the one speaking.

Anger blazed across her face as she rebuked Qiankun Venerate King.

Qiankun Venerate King sneered coldly in contempt. "Humph, Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Artifacts are part of our strength as Cultivators. There are no such rules. Today, I will surely tear this kid to pieces!"

With those words, he brandished the Primordial Life and Death Sword, birthing a raging black storm of demonic clouds from his position, surging forth to eclipse the sun.

Qiankun Venerate King lunged at Gu Sheng, gripping the Primordial Life and Death Sword firmly, unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi lethal to any Earth Palace Realm powerhouse straight at him.

The Sword Qi shredded space, emitting eerie "zi zi" sounds amid the black fissures.

Tianxuan Divine Girl's expression shifted in alarm, worry flooding her eyes as she urgently cried to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, don’t meet force with force; the Primordial Life and Death Sword’s power is boundless, the Traceless Demon Sword is no match, think of a way to dodge!"

At the same time, Daoist Xiushan sent a covert transmission to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, your status is special, you can’t fall here. Quickly think of a way to escape Qiankun Venerate King’s pursuit using your status!"

Gu Yu watched timidly from nearby, tears welling in her eyes, softly whispering Gu Sheng's name with a single wish: that he stay unharmed.

Qiankun Venerate King closed in directly before Gu Sheng, hoisting the Destruction Demon Sword overhead, whipping up a thousand-meter demonic cloud vortex, and releasing apocalyptic might as he savagely cleaved down. Demonic clouds boiled instantly, Sword Qi weaving in deadly patterns.

Gu Sheng remained motionless, attuned to the voices around him, gaze fixed on the hurtling Primordial Life and Death Sword. To everyone's surprise, a sly grin tugged at his mouth.

At the sight of Gu Sheng's demeanor, Qiankun Venerate King's heart lurched—he had anticipated terror or desperate kneeling, yet Gu Sheng displayed no panic, made no bid to escape, just stood serene as the fatal blow descended.

"Hmph, has this brat been frightened out of his mind?" Qiankun Venerate King pondered inwardly, then bellowed: "Regardless of your response, death awaits you today!" At those words, his Sword Momentum surged even fiercer, crashing down on Gu Sheng with maximum power.

Witnessing Gu Sheng frozen in place, Daoist Xiushan cried out in alarm: "Gu Sheng, why are you just standing there? Run away now!"

A faint smile curved Gu Sheng's lips, radiating unshakable confidence and calm. "I planned to use Qiankun Venerate King as a sparring partner, to gauge the might of my Heaven-breaking Fist."

Daoist Xiushan’s heart jolted in surprise, utterly caught off guard by Gu Sheng's bold choice. Still, excitement bubbled within him, burning to witness whether the fabled Holy Level Cultivation Technique, Heaven-breaking Fist, could stand against elite Upper Realm sword arts.

Tianlan Saint Master declared: "Powerful as the Holy Level Cultivation Technique Heaven-breaking Fist may be, resisting the Purple Spirit Realm’s supreme skills is like reaching for the stars."

From nearby, the Great Elder concurred with a nod: "True enough, the terror of Qiankun Venerate King’s Primordial Life and Death Sword is overwhelming. Gu Sheng faces dire peril this time."

Qiankun Venerate King burst into booming laughter upon hearing Gu Sheng’s statement, his voice dripping with scorn.

"Hahahaha, a puny child like you dares to challenge my Primordial Life and Death Sword with Heaven-breaking Fist? What nonsense! Today, I’ll teach you the vast gulf between us!"

Qiankun Venerate King’s taunts left Gu Sheng completely unfazed. He shut his eyes tight.

Wild surges of aura erupted around him. His fingers balled into a fist as Physical Strength poured furiously into it. He staked everything on the Heavenly Saint Body to close the divide against the Traceless Demon Sword.

Activating his mental technique to the utmost, Spiritual Power burst forth from within him, flooding toward his right arm. Already immense, his Physical Strength gained Spiritual Power’s boost, propelling his presence to horrifying levels.

"Heh!" Gu Sheng advanced two steps, each one shaking the entire world. The energy in his right fist had reached its utmost limit.

Tilting his head up, he met the oncoming Primordial Life and Death Sword head-on, then unleashed his punch.

Beside Gu Sheng, the ever-present Ancient Reincarnation Bell hummed with a deep, resonant toll.

Majestic and resonant, this bell’s sound brimmed with boundless Spiritual Power, hurtling toward the Primordial Life and Death Sword.

Once more, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell collided with the Primordial Life and Death Sword, unleashing ferocious shockwaves that exploded outward from the clash.

Mountains crumbled, ground split open, and myriad trees were torn from roots wherever the waves swept, dragged into the raging energy tempest.

Overpowering in might, the Primordial Life and Death Sword’s Sword Qi tore past the Ancient Reincarnation Bell’s barriers, barreling onward at Gu Sheng.

Qiankun Venerate King’s features lit up with victorious glee at the sight, convinced Gu Sheng’s end had come.

Yet, that smug grin on Qiankun Venerate King’s face turned rigid, giving way to sheer disbelief.

A world-shattering force enveloped Gu Sheng’s fist. Swinging it forth, he shattered the incoming Sword Qi. Beneath his strike, the Sword Qi burst apart.

A thunderous dragon roar echoed from Gu Sheng’s fist as it pulverized the fragmented Sword Qi, charging directly at Qiankun Venerate King’s chest.

Horror twisted Qiankun Venerate King’s expression; he hadn’t anticipated such devastating power in Gu Sheng’s blow. In desperation, he thrust up his arms to fend it off.

"Bang!" A thunderous impact rang out as Gu Sheng’s fist smashed into Qiankun Venerate King’s arms, accompanied by the sharp crack of breaking bones.

An irresistible power overwhelmed Qiankun Venerate King, leaving his arms numb and useless. A jet of blood sprayed into the air as his form hurtled backward.
