Three Heavenly Martial Realm experts, the leaders of the Head Hunting Gang, Array Breaking Gang, and Black Water Alliance, corner Gu Sheng and Gu Yuan. They covet the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, a treasure Gu Sheng used to refine residual souls. Despite their overwhelming pressure and demands, Gu Sheng refuses to yield, dismissing their threats and warnings. The three leaders, enraged by his defiance, launch a coordinated, lethal assault.

His words seemed like persuasion, but secretly harbored murderous intent.

Although Shui Wuhen didn’t speak, his body quietly moved, forming a triangulated siege with Tie Kuangtu and Old Ghost Zhen, firmly locking onto Gu Sheng with the aura of three Heavenly Martial Realm experts, sealing off all possible escape routes for him.

The air was so heavy it seemed almost ready to drip with water.

Gu Sheng’s gaze calmly swept over the three of them, and he spat out two words lightly.

"Not handing it over."

"Courting death!"

Tie Kuangtu was utterly enraged, his eyes flashing with fierce light!

By nature, he was already violent, and his patience had long been exhausted!

With a roar of anger, his burly figure instantly transformed into a violent black shadow, and the ground beneath his feet exploded with a bang!

His right fist clenched tightly, muscles bulging, bringing along a terrifying screech that rips through the air, carrying a massive force enough to shatter mountains, and without any flair, it directly aimed at Gu Sheng’s back heart!

This punch condensed all the strength of his late Heavenly Martial Realm stage, intending to pulverize Gu Sheng along with that Treasure Cauldron into dust!

At the same time, the Compass in Old Ghost Zhen’s hand shone brightly, with countless mysterious Array Patterns instantly weaving into a large golden net, bringing with it strong binding and suppressive force, covering down on Gu Sheng’s head!

Shui Wuhen disappeared from where he stood, and in the next moment, appeared at Gu Sheng’s blind spot on his flank, with a short sword coldly glowing a ghostly blue, obviously imbued with poison, silently stabbing at Gu Sheng’s temple!

The three coordinated seamlessly, with both offense and defense, instantly placing Gu Sheng in a kill-or-be-killed situation!

"Master, be careful!"

Gu Yuan was terrified, letting out a cry of alarm.

"The three of them were once fellow disciples, skilled in combined attack Martial Techniques!"

Faced with this deadly siege, which could spell doom even for an ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm Peak, Gu Sheng didn’t even lift an eyelid.

He remained standing where he was, his posture as straight as a pine tree, as if the iron fist capable of shattering mountains, the light net binding the heavens, and the life-taking poison sword were nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing his face.

"In the face of absolute strength, any technique is futile."

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm and unwavering, clearly reaching Gu Yuan’s ears.

Just as Tie Kuangtu’s fist containing terrifying power was about to strike Gu Sheng’s back heart—

A muffled sound, to the extreme, pounded against Ten Thousand Year Xuan Iron!

The expected scene of flesh and blood flying and bones shattering did not appear!

The sinister smile on Tie Kuangtu’s face froze instantly, replaced by unparalleled shock and disbelief!

He felt as if this punch, which gathered all the strength of his life, had struck against an eternally existing, indestructible Divine Mountain!

An overwhelming, unimaginable terrifying counterforce madly surged back through his arm!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The chilling sound of bones fracturing was clearly audible!

Tie Kuangtu’s right arm, as thick as a tree trunk and strong enough to tear apart tigers and leopards, shattered and twisted from fist to shoulder!

The white of bones pierced the skin, and blood spurted out!

"Ah—!"

Tie Kuangtu let out a shrill scream that broke into a falsetto, his entire body flying backward faster than he had come, crashing heavily onto a broken wall dozens of feet away, smashing half of the stone wall to pieces!

He clutched his twisted and shattered arm, rolling on the ground in agony, the blood quickly staining the rubble under him.

The smugness and murderous intent on the faces of Old Ghost Zhen and Shui Wuhen instantly froze, turning into boundless horror!

What did they just see? Tie Kuangtu, at the late Heavenly Martial Realm, struck with all his might on the opponent’s back heart, yet the opponent remained unmoved, while Tie Kuangtu himself had his arm shattered by the counterforce?! How... how could this be?!

Body Cultivation! And at an unimaginable realm of Body Cultivation!

A thought flashed through the minds of the two, chilling them to the core!

"Now, it’s my turn."

Gu Sheng slowly turned around, his gaze falling on the horrified Old Ghost Zhen and Shui Wuhen.

That look was as indifferent as if he were looking at two corpses.

He did not attack the two directly, but instead, extended his right index finger and forced out a drop of scarlet as a gemstone, emanating a faint golden glow of blood.

As soon as that blood appeared, an indescribable aura, as if containing ancient and primeval breath, spread out.

"Drink it."

Gu Sheng flicked his finger, and the drop of blood transformed into a stream of light, precisely flying into Gu Yuan’s mouth, which was slightly open in shock.

Gu Yuan felt a gentle yet overwhelming force instantly dissolve in her mouth, flowing down her throat to her entire body.

The True Qi within her, which had almost come to a halt under the oppression of the three Heavenly Martial Realm powers, suddenly became incredibly active, even showing signs of breaking through!

Even more astonishing, a faint warm current from deep in her bloodline surged, making her connection to the surrounding world clearly more perceptible.

"Keep an eye on them."

Gu Sheng’s voice sounded again, carrying an indisputable command.

Before the words finished, the ground beneath Gu Sheng’s feet suddenly cracked open!

Several thick, pitch-black vines covered with ferocious barbs burst from the ground!

These vines exuded a dense, almost tangible aura of savagery and bloodlust, unmistakably the infamous Heavenly Demon Vine!

The Heavenly Demon Vine let out a voiceless roar, instantly locking onto Old Ghost Zhen and Shui Wuhen, who just regained their footing, and Tie Kuangtu, who was still wailing in the distance!

"Not good! Quickly, join forces and smash it!"

Old Ghost Zhen’s complexion changed drastically as he shouted fiercely!

He frantically urged the Turtle Shell Compass in his hand, turning golden array patterns into sharp light blades that slashed toward the attacking vine!

Shui Wuhen could no longer hide, as the Poison Sword in his hand burst forth with a ghostly blue poisonous glow and stabbed out forcefully!

Tie Kuangtu endured the severe pain, forming a heavy True Qi Shield with his left hand, attempting to block!

Their resistance appeared utterly pale and powerless before the Heavenly Demon Vine!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The seemingly sharp array pattern light blades slashed into the pitch-black vine, leaving only shallow white marks, unable to break its defense!

Shui Wuhen’s Poison Sword pierced the vine; the ghostly blue poison quickly spread, but the vine merely trembled slightly. The surface barbs became even more menacing, and the poison was rapidly absorbed by the vine, becoming part of its power!

The thick vine ignored all the attacks, wrapping itself around them in an instant!

Tie Kuangtu’s True Qi Shield was pierced! Old Ghost Zhen’s Protective True Qi was effortlessly torn apart! Shui Wuhen’s evasive maneuvers were nothing but child’s play!

The three were almost simultaneously tightly bound by several thick vines!

The vicious barbs on the vines plunged deeply into their bodies!

"Argh—!"

Their screams, so blood-curdling they barely sounded human, echoed simultaneously!

The trio felt an irresistible terrifying suction emanating from the barbs, as their Qi-Blood, True Qi, and even Life Origin were frantically drawn into the vines!

Their bodies withered rapidly before their eyes!

Their skin lost its luster, becoming wrinkled!

Their robust muscles rapidly shriveled! Their once-bright eyes quickly dimmed and clouded!

In just the span of two breaths!

The three once-mighty experts of the Heavenly Martial Realm, brimming with arrogance, had turned into emaciated corpses, skin and bones, with deeply sunken eyes, utterly devoid of life!

They resembled mummies, dried by a thousand years, callously discarded on the rocky ground by the pitch-black vines, their deaths appallingly miserable!

Gu Yuan watched this terrifying scene, her stomach churning, her face pale, yet she forced herself not to look away, clenching her fists tightly.

Is this Master’s power? With a mere flick, the three great Heavenly Martial experts were reduced to ashes!

"Go, gather the items from their bodies."

Gu Sheng’s voice pulled Gu Yuan back from her shock.

"Yes... yes, Master!"

Gu Yuan hurriedly responded, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and quickly approached the three corpses.

She knew this was the test her Master gave her, the beginning of her stepping into a new world.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng paid no more attention to this side.

He looked up at the sky above the town, where the cloud of residual soul still churned, emitting a dense aura of death, and at the more residual souls continually gathering from the distant ruins.

"The quantity is sufficient."

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed with brilliance.

With a thought, the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron hovering above him trembled violently!

The nine Divine Dragons carved on the cauldron seemed to awaken fully, mouths wide open!

An even more massive, terrifying suction than before erupted as it devoured thousands of residual souls!
