Chapter 1155 601: Life and Death Sword (Part 2)
The Qiankun Venerate King saw the secret technique performed by the Tianxuan Divine Girl and exclaimed in shock: "Tai Cang Blood Sacrifice Technique!"
He naturally recognized this renowned secret technique from the Purple Spirit Divine Mountain, knowing that once performed, it could indeed greatly enhance one's power. However, he was also aware that the cost of this technique was extremely severe.
He looked at the Tianxuan Divine Girl and couldn't help but chastise her: "Your foundation is too weak. Forcing the execution of this technique will, at best, cause a decline in cultivation and damage to your foundation, and at worst, cause your Spiritual Power to riot and lead to instant self-detonation!"
Rather than perform this Ancient Secret Technique, the Tianxuan Divine Girl might as well withstand his sword, which might still offer a sliver of hope.
The proud Tianxuan Divine Girl completely ignored Qiankun Venerate King's words.
She proceeded to perform the secret technique independently, rapidly forming one Ancient Seal after another with her hands, preparing to inject these Seal Techniques into her body.
At this moment, something unexpected occurred. A hand extended from below, steadily grabbing the right leg of the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
This sudden change caused the Tianxuan Divine Girl's delicate body to slightly tremble.
In disbelief, she looked down. The originally closed purple-gold lotus was now opening, and within the lotus, Gu Sheng had awakened.
Gu Sheng reached out and grasped the Tianxuan Divine Girl's right leg, releasing a surge of powerful energy from within him.
This energy surged directly into the Tianxuan Divine Girl's body.
Strangely, although seemingly overpowering, this energy became quite gentle once inside the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
It interrupted the Tianxuan Divine Girl's secret technique without causing her significant harm.
This revealed that Gu Sheng's control over Spiritual Power had already reached a higher realm.
"Thank you for risking your life to save me. From here on, leave it to me." Gu Sheng said softly, his voice carrying a comforting strength.
He stepped out from the purple-gold lotus, standing in front of the Tianxuan Divine Girl, protecting her securely behind him.
His body appeared somewhat thin, but at the moment he stood before the Tianxuan Divine Girl, the terrifying Demonic Qi which had once swept across the sky vanished instantly.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl felt the aura emanating from Gu Sheng's person, an unprecedented peace.
Gu Sheng had not displayed any cultivation, yet his inherent confidence profoundly affected her.
She even harbored an illusion that Gu Sheng could truly defeat the Qiankun Venerate King. This wild thought persisted in her mind.
"You worthless piece of filth, you finally dare to come out!" The Qiankun Venerate King saw Gu Sheng appear, feeling smug, believing Gu Sheng was forced out by his sword.
He thought Gu Sheng might have merely passed the inheritance assessment, definitely not obtained the legendary supreme inheritance.
"Hehe." Gu Sheng merely chuckled disdainfully at him.
He looked at the descending domineering Sword Qi, his expression calm. He drew the Dragon Slayer Sword from his waist; once it appeared, it emitted a fierce aura.
Gu Sheng grasped the Dragon Slayer Sword, casually swinging a strike towards the Sword Qi. This strike seemed nonchalant, yet contained infinite power.
"Facing death, you still dare to act pretentious! Die for me!" The Qiankun Venerate King was infuriated upon seeing Gu Sheng despise his attack.
He believed Gu Sheng was intentionally provoking him. Given the enormous power of his sword, even if Gu Sheng had obtained the inheritance, he couldn't have significantly improved in such a short time, and couldn't possibly block his fatal strike.
His strength had reached the world's limit; further enhancement would face the world's backlash.
"Gu Sheng!" Gongsun Yue stood aside, watching Gu Sheng's disregard for Qiankun Venerate King's attack, breathing rapidly in tension.
"Ignorant fool." Murong Qingcheng stood afar, watching Gu Sheng, her face showing malice.
The Qiankun Venerate King's sword, the Sword Qi where it passed, space easily torn apart. The entire universe trembled violently under the impact of this Sword Qi.
By comparison, Gu Sheng's Sword Qi seemed understated, casually swinging amidst the astonishing scene, appearing out of place.
The Qiankun Venerate King unleashed his full cultivation, his strength soaring rapidly. Previously, even the Mysterious Taoist was easily beheaded by him.
Terrifying Sword Qi, carrying the ultimate breath of life and death, tore through tens of thousands of meters of the Void, arriving three feet above Gu Sheng's head.
The overwhelming pressure distorted the surrounding space.
Facing this terrifyingly extreme sword, Gu Sheng's heart remained unruffled.
During the final stage of the assessment, he had experienced countless reincarnations. The lengthy, arduous process greatly tempered his mind, equaling those of elders aged hundreds.
He calmly swung the Dragon Slayer Sword towards the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword.
The moment the Dragon Slayer Sword clashed with the Life and Death Sword, a crisp shattering sound echoed.
The Dragon Slayer Sword could not withstand the might of the Life and Death Sword, beginning to crack.
The Qiankun Venerate King laughed triumphantly.
Gongsun Yue and others saw the Dragon Slayer Sword break and couldn't help but exclaim.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl sensed something amiss, yet couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Just as the Qiankun Venerate King and others thought Gu Sheng was undoubtedly doomed, the broken Dragon Slayer Sword burst forth with dazzling purple light.
The shattered sword body shot fierce Sword Qi from two different directions, aiming straight at Qiankun Venerate King.
The aura around Gu Sheng abruptly transformed, unleashing the tremendous aura of the Nascent Soul Realm peak.
This immense aura startled everyone present.
The Qiankun Venerate King was astonished, his eyes widening. He was shocked not only by Gu Sheng achieving rapid breakthrough so swiftly but by the stability of Gu Sheng's aura.
The aura seemed to have lingered at the Nascent Soul Realm peak for years, rather than just breaking through recently.
He felt a sense of foreboding, realizing Gu Sheng might have obtained the supreme inheritance.
This thought brought him despair.
The Qiankun Venerate King roared in anger. Unwilling to fail, he disregarded the threat of Gu Sheng's broken sword, biting his teeth as he continued to swing at Gu Sheng.
He decided to exchange injury for injury. The Life and Death Sword was infinitely powerful; even if Gu Sheng's body was tough, he couldn't withstand this terrifying strike. Killing Gu Sheng was worth the risk, even if he suffered severe injuries.
Gu Sheng watched the Qiankun Venerate King's frantic state with a cold smile. His hands swiftly formed seals, summoning the Ancient Reincarnation Bell.
This Ancient Reincarnation Bell was one of the inheritances from the Holy Road Master. In the Reincarnation World, Gu Sheng had experienced possessing it multiple times.
Performing it once more in reality, a peculiar sense of familiarity surged within him.
The Qiankun Venerate King glared at the Ancient Reincarnation Bell summoned by Gu Sheng with apprehension, yet quickly regained a crazed expression, attempting to shatter the Ancient Reincarnation Bell and continue to kill Gu Sheng.
The disciples of the Six Great Holy Lands stood at a distance, watching Gu Sheng wielding a bronze ancient bell to confront the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword and shook their heads, considering Gu Sheng was seeking his own demise.
They were unaware of the Ancient Reincarnation Bell's origins, knowing only of the Qiankun Venerate King's Life and Death Sword and Tianxuan Divine Girl's Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship as the strongest artifacts on the Holy Road.
Since the Dragon Slayer Sword was shattered just now and yet another artifact from Xinghong Spirit Domain was used to confront an Upper Realm Divine Artifact, wasn't this courting death?
Actually, the Qiankun Venerate King had also witnessed the might of the Ancient Reincarnation Bell. The Ancient Reincarnation Bell's terrifying level was no less than his Life and Death Sword.
Yet, his eyes had reddened. The reasons he dared to continue attacking were firstly that he was certain the Ancient Reincarnation Bell could not be fully leveraged when Gu Sheng summoned it hastily.
Secondly, believing in his absolute strength, he felt capable of slicing open the Ancient Reincarnation Bell with a single sword strike, then consequently cutting Gu Sheng into two.
Trading his severe injury for Gu Sheng's death was seen as a worthwhile transaction.
As the Life and Death Sword descended with destructive momentum onto the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, Gu Sheng took a step forward, his hands steadily holding the Ancient Reincarnation Bell.
A terrifying bodily aura burst forth from his slender physique.
This aura was fiercely domineering, seemingly encompassing boundless power.
With this aura's enhancement, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell erupted with world-shaking might, colliding forcefully with the Life and Death Sword carrying unparalleled power.
