Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1733 - 879: The Chest of Infinite Power (2)
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
In the distance, Qidiao Yaoyao, who had been tensely watching the battle, even drifted off for a brief moment from worrying too much.
When she focused her eyes again, she found that the enemies who had just been a dense, black mass with killing intent soaring to the heavens had all turned into falling corpses, and the sky was suddenly clear!
She couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, her beautiful eyes round as saucers, heart pounding wildly, her gaze toward Gu Sheng filled with indescribable shock and a trace of lingering fear.
’This guy... is way too strong! And... way too ruthless! Over a hundred Sect Realm, three Human Kings—he said kill and just killed, without leaving a single survivor...’ She secretly clicked her tongue, muttering in her heart, ’Fortunately... fortunately he’s nominally my master right now, otherwise...’
She simply didn’t dare imagine the outcome of becoming enemies with someone like this.
Gu Sheng’s expression remained indifferent, as if he’d only done some trivial little thing.
He raised his hand to recall the Life-controlling Yin Disc, sensing the True Qi in his body that had barely been consumed, and lightly shook his head.
"Doesn’t even count as a warm-up... these small fry can’t test where my current limits lie at all."
He mused inwardly.
"Looks like, if I want to truly test the power of this Dao Body and Glazed Golden Body, I’ll need at least a late Earth King Realm, or even half-step Heavenly King Realm opponent."
As the thought moved, golden light flashed on his left arm, and a shadow like a black Flood Dragon shot out! It was the Heavenly Demon Vine!
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Vine seemed to have smelled the most delicious food in the world, its tendrils writhing excitedly like sharks catching the scent of blood, lunging swiftly toward those still-warm corpses that were falling from the sky.
The tips of the vines were like sharp spikes, easily piercing into the corpses, and began frantically draining the Qi-Blood essence and energy remaining in the bodies of those Sect Realm and King Realm Martial Artists.
Qidiao Yaoyao pressed down the shock in her heart, rode her tunneling light over, landed not far behind Gu Sheng, and spoke carefully, with a hint of respect even she hadn’t noticed in her tone.
"M-Master, are you alright?"
Gu Sheng had just been about to casually tease her when his expression abruptly hardened!
A needle-prick-like sense of crisis, without the slightest warning, suddenly surged at him from behind!
"Careful!"
He barked low, reacting as fast as lightning. With a sweep of his right hand, a flexible yet powerful surge of True Qi erupted, coiling around Qidiao Yaoyao’s slender waist like a spirit serpent, and before she could react, it yanked her fiercely to his side!
At the same time, his vast, mighty spiritual power erupted like a raging ocean storm, instantly locking onto the source of that extremely well-hidden Qi flow that even he had failed to detect earlier!
"You skulking rat—get out here!"
A thunderous roar exploded forth, carrying a brutal spiritual impact that slammed down viciously toward a certain mountain hollow below!
"Boom!"
A small hill below actually exploded under this spiritual roar, rocks shooting through the air!
A figure flew up from the smoke and shattered stone, his tunneling light neither fast nor slow, coming to a halt in midair parallel to Gu Sheng.
The newcomer was a young man in pristine white tight-fitting clothes. His face wasn’t particularly handsome, but carried a kind of unruly, feral wildness. Most striking of all was the layer of constantly leaping, burning crimson flames wrapped around his body, emitting scorching heat that distorted the air around him.
He folded his arms, eyes sweeping over Gu Sheng with the interest one shows toward prey, then grinned, revealing two rows of stark white teeth, his voice rough with a metallic rasp.
"Not a bad reaction, kid. Looks like Xiao wasn’t wrong—you do have some tricks, worth me, Huang Batian, coming all this way personally."
He twisted his neck, joints cracking loudly, and a vicious, savage Qi Blood Power like some archaic wild beast erupted from his body, forming a visible crimson Qi-Blood smoke column that shot straight into the sky!
That vast Qi-Blood fluctuation clearly showed that he had already tempered his flesh to the Peak of Golden Body Realm! One foot had even stepped into the higher Great Success Golden Body realm! The sheer richness of his Qi-Blood and the pressure it brought was in no way inferior to a Peak of Earth King Realm powerhouse!
"Let me introduce myself: Qian Jun Sect, Huang Batian."
The young man licked his lips, excitement and cruelty flickering in his eyes.
"Invited by Xiao, I’ve come specifically to take your head. But now, I’ve changed my mind..."
His gaze became almost tangible as it raked over Gu Sheng’s body, which shimmered with a glazed sheen and perfect lines, overflowing with undisguised greed and envy.
"I really like this body of yours! I’m going to personally tear it off and turn it into my most prized collectible!"
Facing this sudden powerful enemy and his naked threat, Gu Sheng felt no fear at all; instead, blazing battle intent surged up in his eyes like fire!
"Qian Jun Sect? Huang Batian? Excellent!"
Gu Sheng gave Qidiao Yaoyao at his side a gentle push, a soft force sending her ten thousand zhang away, his voice clearly entering her ears.
"Get far back. The aftershocks of what’s next aren’t something you can withstand."
Qidiao Yaoyao only felt her vision blur and she was already ten thousand zhang away. She hurriedly stabilized herself and looked anxiously toward the center of the battlefield.
There, around Gu Sheng, a vast Qi-Blood fluctuation of red shot through with gold, like molten glazed magma, erupted with a roar! Like a slumbering giant dragon awakening, it crashed head-on into Huang Batian’s blood-red, towering Qi-Blood smoke!
The two terrifying Qi-Blood Powers slammed into each other in midair with a thunderous collision, emitting a muffled boom like distant thunder. Invisible shockwaves rolled outward like a tsunami, shredding the cloud layers above in an instant! For the moment, they were evenly matched, neither able to suppress the other!
"Hm? Glazed Golden Body?!"
Feeling Gu Sheng’s unique and powerful Qi-Blood attribute, Huang Batian’s eyes grew yet more greedy and jealous, almost to the point of overflowing.
"You actually cultivated the Glazed Golden Body?! What a waste! A supreme treasure body like this ought to belong to me!"
Gu Sheng’s gaze was calm, the power within him surging like rivers and seas, tuned to its optimal state.
"You want to use me as a whetstone? Perfect, I’m just short one hard enough Gold Testing Stone."
Before the words had fully fallen, their eyes collided in midair, as if tangible sparks crackled between them!
"Kill!"
"Die!"
Almost in the same instant, they let out explosive shouts and moved at the same time!
There were no flashy techniques, no probing attacks. The two of them were like shells fired from cannons, carrying the rawest, most ferocious, unstoppable momentum as they charged straight at each other! Two fists containing might enough to collapse mountains and rend the earth slammed together in the Void like two falling meteors!
"BOOM——!!!!!"
A terrifying detonation that seemed able to shake heaven and earth and shatter eardrums exploded out!
"BOOM——!!!!"
The bang of colliding fists was like an Ancient Divine Mountain collapsing, shattering the air within dozens of li, forming visible ring-shaped shockwaves that blasted outward! The ground below heaved like an awakened earth dragon, shaking violently; countless rocks tumbled down as dust soared skyward!
At the point where their fists met, two entirely different yet equally domineering Qi-Blood Powers rampaged like two mad giant dragons within a tiny space, engaging in the most primal, most ferocious grinding clash! Blood-red versus red shot with gold! Scorching and savage versus glazed and undying!
They deadlocked for barely half a breath!
"Boom!"
Even more violent energy exploded from the center of the collision, both of their bodies jolting as they used the rebound force to blast backward.
Huang Batian retreated nearly a hundred zhang before steadying himself. He shook his slightly numb fist, and instead of rage, the beast-like battle intent in his eyes burned even hotter. He bared his stark white teeth in a grin and praised.
"Good! That’s strength! Truly a decent prey! Much better than those trash that shatter on first touch!"
Gu Sheng also retreated several dozen zhang, his expression still calm, but he could clearly feel that under that straightforward, ornament-free clash, his Glazed Golden Body—harder than refined steel—had bones and even flesh and connective tissue in his arms and all over his body making faint cracking sounds of strain! Needling pain spread through him in waves.
