Gu Sheng discovers the chained girl, Bai Zhi, is a True Disciple from the Great Wilderness Holy Academy and uses a soul technique he created. She reveals the Wuya Sect plans to activate a Thousand Souls Sacrifice Array using captured martial artists as offerings. As Gu Sheng prepares to act, the guard guarding Bai Zhi discovers the hall's entrance has been breached and alerts his superior.

"Heavenly Martial Realm? Hmph! A mere Heavenly Martial Realm ant dares trespass into the forbidden grounds! Courting death!"

He didn’t take Gu Sheng seriously at all; the gap between the Heavenly Martial Realm and the Human King Realm was like a heavenly chasm!

Just as his words fell, Gu Sheng moved!

No warning, no buildup! Gu Sheng’s figure vanished from where he stood!

The next instant, he was already less than three feet in front of the blue-robed man!

The shadow of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron flashed once above Gu Sheng’s head and vanished!

A terrifying Origin Power that could suppress the heavens and smelt all things erupted with a roar, instantly blessing Gu Sheng’s entire body!

At some unknown point, an ancient-looking longsword had appeared in his hand; Chaos radiance flowed along the blade, carrying a razor-sharp will that could sever everything!

"Slash!"

With a low shout from Gu Sheng, the longsword turned into a strip of Chaos light that tore through space, cleaving straight for the blue-robed man’s neck!

The speed hit the absolute limit! Wherever the sword edge passed, even space twisted!

The blue-robed man’s pupils shrank violently!

He had never imagined that a Heavenly Martial Realm Martial Artist could unleash such terrifying speed and momentum!

The sharp aura coming off that sword edge made him feel a mortal threat!

"Arrogant!"

The blue-robed man roared in fury, and the vast True Yuan of the Third Level Human King Realm exploded out in an instant!

A deep-blue True Qi Barrier, condensed to near physical solidity, appeared before him in a flash, like deep-sea Mystic Ice, unbreakable!

At the same time, his right fist clenched tight; violent Fist Intent was already primed to strike!

Clang——!

The Chaos Sword Light hacked viciously down onto the deep-blue True Qi Barrier, emitting a deafening metallic screech!

The violent energy shockwave detonated on the spot, ripping the surrounding ground into countless deep fissures!

That True Qi Barrier, which was enough to withstand a full-power strike from an Early Stage Human King Realm, was instantly covered in web-like cracks under the Chaos Sword Light!

The sword light’s remaining force did not lessen, hacking viciously into the blue-robed man’s Protective True Essence!

Rip!

The Protective True Essence was torn apart! The sword edge touched skin!

The blue-robed man felt a bone-chilling, stabbing pain shoot from his neck!

He could even feel the cold sensation of the sword edge cutting into flesh!

"Ah!"

The blue-robed man let out a roar filled with shock and fury! At the brink of life and death, the True Yuan in his body erupted wildly!

At the same time, his long-primed right fist, wrapped in a terrifying force that could shatter mountains and rend seas, shot out like a fired cannon, slamming straight toward Gu Sheng’s chest at point-blank range!

This punch was sent out in rage, with no reservation, vowing to blast Gu Sheng into dust!

Gu Sheng’s gaze was icy cold; facing this terrifying punch that was enough to kill an ordinary Early Stage Human King Realm, he actually didn’t dodge at all!

Just as the fist wind was about to reach his body, several earthy-yellow rays of light suddenly flared on Gu Sheng’s body!

They were several high-grade "Tunneling Armor Talismans" that had long since been activated!

The talisman power instantly formed multiple layers of heavy earthy-yellow Light Shields, stacking up in front of Gu Sheng!

The violent fist wind slammed hard into the shields! Layer after layer of Light Shield shattered one after another!

But with each layer broken, a portion of the fist wind’s power was shaved away!

In the end, the remaining fist wind crashed hard into Gu Sheng’s chest!

A dull, thunderous boom! Gu Sheng’s body shuddered violently as if struck by a giant hammer!

But his feet were rooted to the ground, and he did not retreat even half a step!

A faint layer of Chaos radiance flowed over his skin, dissolving that Fist Power that could split mountains and crack stone!

His clothes were ripped apart by the fist wind, revealing a well-built upper body; muscles knotted and bronze-lit, without even a single white mark left behind!

"What?!"

The blue-robed man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

His full-power punch, slammed into a Heavenly Martial Realm Martial Artist, and the other party was actually... completely unscathed?! How was that possible?! Even a Body Cultivation expert shouldn’t be this heaven-defying!

Just as his mind trembled violently in disbelief, cold light burst from Gu Sheng’s eyes!

His left hand formed a sword with two fingers; Chaos radiance condensed at his fingertips, carrying a sharpness that could pierce all things, stabbing toward the blue-robed man’s neck wound that had been cut by the sword edge and had yet to heal!

This finger strike was fast! Precise! Ruthless! A straight thrust at a vital point!

Gu Sheng severed the blue-robed man’s neck with a single sword, blood gushing!

Though the man’s head was cut off, his body did not fall!

At the broken neck, countless fine dark-red blood threads writhed and stretched crazily, like a spiderweb linking head and body, actually trying to forcibly reconnect the severed neck!

"Senior, be careful! Everyone from the Wuya Sect cultivates Evil Techniques, their Life Force is bizarre!"

Bai Zhi’s weak yet urgent spiritual voice transmission rang once more in Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmph! Death throes!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes were icy cold, his killing intent surging even stronger!

How could he allow this fiend another chance!

Within Gu Sheng’s body, eighteen resplendent Pocket Heaven Divine Rings suddenly lit up!

Like eighteen blazing suns burning inside him! Boundless, vast True Yuan instantly flooded his limbs and bones!

Immediately after, an ancient, desolate power as if born from the depths of his bloodline erupted with a roar! Nirvana Three Profound Changes—First Change, open!

Gu Sheng’s aura climbed madly! In an instant it broke through the shackles of the Heavenly Martial Realm, reaching a level that made the heart tremble!

The ancient longsword in his hand seemed to be injected with a soul; on the sword body, brilliant golden Divine Flame roared to life!

That flame was holy yet overbearing, exuding a terrifying aura of burning away all evil and purifying all things!

"Beichen Sky-breaking Sword!"

With a low shout from Gu Sheng, the longsword in his hand, wreathed in golden Divine Flame, turned into a streak of golden lightning that tore the firmament!

Where the sword light passed, space twisted, letting out a groan of unbearable strain! Its target was those countless dark-red blood threads that connected head and body!

Sss sss sss—!

Like a red-hot brand thrust into ice and snow! At the instant the golden Divine Flame touched the dark-red blood threads, an ear-piercing sizzling sound rang out!

Those grotesquely squirming blood threads, before the holy and domineering Southern Emperor Divine Flame, were like encountering their natural nemesis; they withered, charred, and snapped inch by inch in an instant! Even the sinister Life Force contained within the threads was completely burned away and purified!

"No—!"

The severed head of the blue-robed man let out a shriek filled with ultimate terror!

His final reliance, that bizarre Evil Cultivator method, had been broken so easily!

All blood threads snapped; head and body were completely separated, with no possibility of rejoining!

Without the support of the Evil Technique, the vitality in the head rapidly drained, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

He stared fixedly at Gu Sheng, cursing him with venomous hatred.

"You... you won’t escape... the Young Master... will avenge me... you... will surely die..."

"Noisy."

Gu Sheng’s gaze was indifferent; he flicked a finger, and a wisp of golden Divine Flame instantly sank into the glabella of that head!

The head, like dry wood touched by fire, turned to ash in an instant, completely dispersing into the air!

The headless body, as if losing all support, crashed to the ground, dissolving into a pool of foul-smelling black water that was swallowed by the mire underfoot.

In front of the Thousand Souls Hall, deathly silence reigned. Only the faint popping of bubbles in the swamp, and the distant, muffled roar of collapsing space could be heard.

Gu Yuanyuan hid behind a stone pillar, watching her master slay the powerful enemy, her heart shaken beyond words!

Third Level of the Human King Realm! That was the Human King Realm! Yet before her master he was like a clay chicken, a porcelain dog!

Her reverence for Gu Sheng had already reached its peak!

Gu Sheng drew back his longsword, dispersing the Divine Flame and Pocket Heaven Divine Rings around him, his aura once again returning to restraint.

He strode quickly to Bai Zhi’s side.

Bai Zhi’s face was now pale as paper, her body trembling slightly; clearly, the recent upheaval and the backlash from the Evil Technique being broken had left her even more weakened.

She looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes filled with gratitude and the relief of surviving catastrophe.

Gu Sheng wasted no words; his powerful spiritual power, like the most precise probe, instantly enveloped the black shackles on Bai Zhi’s body.

Those shackles were neither metal nor wood, heavy and icy cold, covered in twisted black runes that exuded a heart-palpitating sealing power.

His spiritual power tried to seep in, but was firmly blocked outside by an extremely icy, viscous strength!

"This chain... what is it?"

Gu Sheng’s voice sounded directly in Bai Zhi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Bai Zhi weakly replied via voice transmission.

"Senior... this is... Evil Spirit Binding... the Wuya Sect’s... core Secret Technique... the chain... seals my Sea of Consciousness... meridians... Dantian... even my True Qi... is completely suppressed... I can’t move at all...

If not for... the Secret Technique passed down by the Second Ancestor... opening a second Sea of Consciousness... I wouldn’t even... be able to transmit sound..."

Evil Spirit Binding! Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed.
