Gu Sheng suppressed Qiankun Venerate King in their same-realm clash, leaving spectators like Taiyi Immortal King and Tianxuan Divine Girl in awe of his prowess. Enraged, Qiankun unleashed the Supreme Immortal Sect's strongest technique, the Traceless Demon Sword with the Primordial Life and Death Sword, summoning demonic qi that darkened the skies and tore rifts in space. Despite urgent warnings to dodge, Gu Sheng countered fearlessly with his Heaven-breaking Fist, aided by the Ancient Reincarnation Bell; he shattered the oncoming Sword Qi and struck Qiankun squarely, shattering his arms and sending him flying backward.

Gu Sheng stared at the Qiankun Venerate King hurtling through the air, a fierce wave of killing intent exploding in his gaze. The urge to chase and finish him off surged instinctively, but he rapidly reined in that burning desire within.

In mid-flight, Qiankun Venerate King appeared to unlock profound reserves of strength inside himself. Even more horrifying Demonic Qi erupted around his form, completely shrouding him. Blanketed by this Demonic Qi, Qiankun Venerate King tore open a massive rift in the sky above.

Gu Sheng grew instantly alert, struck by an unparalleled wave of pressure.

No breeze stirred, yet Qiankun Venerate King's robes whipped wildly, fissures spiderwebbed across his flesh, and thick blood mist seeped out from his body.

From amid the blood mist rose a crimson jade token etched with a grand palace. The mist intensified dramatically, poised to stain the entire world in scarlet hues, the token hovering at its core. Cataclysmic Demonic Qi exploded from the jade token, flooding outward in every direction.

"What kind of aura is this?" Onlookers cried out in astonishment. The might of this aura defied belief, surpassing even the legendary Taiyi Immortal King in sheer dominance.

From Tianlan Sacred Land's lowliest novice disciples to the typically distant Saint Master, all were seized by dread. It felt as though they confronted not a mere cultivator, but the omnipotent Supreme Heavenly Dao that governed existence itself.

Taiyi Immortal King's features blanched, his knees buckled, forcing him to drop to the ground.

Silence gripped the entire arena for a heartbeat, every soul rendered mute by this explosive turn of events.

Only when Taiyi Immortal King choked out "Sect Master" did the crowd jolt awake, their stares brimming with horror and terror.

"Is it the Supreme Immortal Sect Master?" A murmur rippled through the throng.

"No, it’s not his true form, just a strand of his Divine Thought." Tianlan Saint Master swiftly countered the Great Elder’s speculation.

Fear toward the Supreme Immortal Sect deepened among the masses. A lone strand of Divine Thought wielded such overwhelming dread—what catastrophe would the true body unleash?

Qiankun Venerate King painfully hauled himself upright from the dirt, agony twisting his features as he screamed wildly at the jade token: "Father, you must stand up for your child!"

His enraged bellow pulled spiritual energy chaotically from heaven and earth, manifesting a colossal ten-thousand-foot Fatian Xiangdi. The giant's eyes blazed with light, yet flickered with evident shock.

The Supreme Immortal Sect Master's voice boomed like thunderous wrath: "Hmph!" That icy grunt spiked the air's heat violently, igniting nearby flora in spontaneous blazes while eerie spectral flames swirled about.

Gu Sheng sensed that colossal stare locking onto him, his heart roiling wildly. "Possessing the Heavenly Saint Body, with Immortal Vein, and a rare Innate Spirit Root, my son doesn’t lose unreasonably." The Sect Master’s voice echoed once more.

The Sect Master’s eyes narrowed sharply, as if detecting some anomaly. His Divine Thought plunged straight into Gu Sheng’s frame, zeroing in on the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book hidden there.

"Not good!" Alarm jolted Gu Sheng; this was his ultimate hidden truth, untouched by any outsider, now exposed to the Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s scrutiny.

In his rising panic, a mysterious woman let out a scornful laugh. Accompanying the chuckle, mist billowed up around her, racing to cloak the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book.

The Sect Master’s Divine Thought swept over it blindly, passing right through without notice, as though the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book dwelled in a separate realm of time and space.

Gu Sheng exhaled sharply in relief—as long as the secret stayed concealed, hope for reversal lingered.

Tianxuan Divine Girl endured the crushing emperor-level aura, every stride a grueling battle. Undeterred, she reached Gu Sheng’s side, offered a deep bow to the hovering blood-colored jade token, and said with quivering voice: "Senior, please spare Gu Sheng."

The Sect Master regarded Gu Sheng with growing curiosity, the unfolding drama captivating him further.

Qiankun Venerate King witnessed this, panic surging as he frantically pleaded: "Father, aren’t you making a move? This kid has embarrassed me greatly today, he must not be spared!"

The Sect Master had already resolved his course and held off from striking.

Typically haughty due to his exalted rank, Qiankun Venerate King had suffered a crushing blow from Gu Sheng this day. Letting Gu Sheng live would plant a Heart Demon in him, forever stunting his cultivation path.

Tianxuan Divine Girl noted the Sect Master’s inaction, anxiety flaring as she quickly pressed on: "Senior, even though he hasn’t married yet, he is still my father’s soon-to-be son-in-law!"

The Sect Master responded nonchalantly: "With my status and strength, killing an unmarried son-in-law is just a minor thing. At most, I’ll get you another son-in-law, my son is quite suitable."

Tianxuan Divine Girl felt her heart drop, catching the blatant killing intent in the Sect Master’s voice.

Qiankun Venerate King turned to the Supreme Immortal Sect Master with glee, his gaze overflowing with bootlicking adoration.

The Supreme Immortal Sect Master nodded coldly, as a domineering Fatian Xiangdi power erupted outward.

This fearsome energy slammed into the temples and structures across Tianlan Sacred Land, making them quake and tumble down.

Bricks splintered apart, and fragments scattered wildly.

As an essential hub in Tianlan Sacred Land, the Elder Hall’s Guardian Array detected the threat and activated on its own, striving to fend off the immense pressure.

Confronted by the Supreme Immortal Sect Master’s crushing might, the Guardian Array lasted only moments before shattering with a thunderous "bang."

Once the array crumbled, the mighty experts inside the Elder Hall were flung out by the explosive shockwave. They tumbled through the air in disarray, some vomiting blood, others with ripped clothing, all displaying a pathetic sight.

Only Gu Sheng stayed behind within the hall.

Gu Sheng gazed at his sister hurled from the Elder Hall, a helpless smile unwittingly forming on his lips.
