Chapter 1173: Chapter 610: The Secret of Becoming Immortal (Part 2)
High above in the sky, the aura of the Qiankun Venerate King spread with reckless abandon. He threw his head back and let out a wild laugh. Within the Holy Road World, Qiankun Venerate King was filled with resentment.
As the Young Master of the Supreme Immortal Sect in the Purple Spirit Realm, he was a recognized top-tier genius, admired by all wherever he went.
However, upon arriving in the Xinghong Spirit Domain, he was repeatedly thwarted, and the one hindering him was none other than Gu Sheng, neither in age nor cultivation his equal.
"Hmph, Gu Sheng, today I’ll make you understand the consequence of opposing me!"
Gritting his teeth, the Qiankun Venerate King glared at Gu Sheng below, speaking as if he wished to devour him alive.
Gu Sheng merely let out a cold snort, a silent taunt that stabbed at the Qiankun Venerate King’s pride. His chest heaved in anger.
"Alright, Gu Sheng, today I’ll show you my true power!"
The Qiankun Venerate King waved his hands. The surrounding Demonic Qi was stirred up, surging towards Gu Sheng. As the Demonic Qi moved, the space seemed corroded, rippling slightly.
Gu Sheng was no match for the Qiankun Venerate King. If hit by this wave of demonic force, his prospects would be bleak.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl spoke: "Gu Sheng, I will assist you!"
With those words, she flew towards the Qiankun Venerate King.
Understanding the gap between himself and the Qiankun Venerate King, Gu Sheng did not refuse the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s help.
The two exchanged a glance and moved together to assault the Qiankun Venerate King.
Qiankun Venerate King, seeing the Tianxuan Divine Girl aiding his enemy, stared at her with reddened eyes, intending to see through her: "Tianxuan Divine Girl, you dare to help this brat, today I won’t let you go!"
The Life and Death Sword appeared in Qiankun Venerate King’s hand. With a shout, he gripped the hilt tightly and slashed fiercely towards Gu Sheng and the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
Not daring to be careless, Gu Sheng hurriedly summoned the Ancient Reincarnation Bell. When it appeared, an ancient light spread out, enveloping him and the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
The Sword Qi clashed against the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, emitting a dull roar.
The Qiankun Venerate King’s power was overwhelming. Even though the Ancient Reincarnation Bell struggled to withstand, it ultimately couldn’t resist the terrifying Sword Qi and was knocked flying.
"Not good!"
Without thinking, the Tianxuan Divine Girl quickly produced a small, glowing ship, the Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship.
She poured her Spiritual Power into it. The Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship shone brilliantly, charging towards the remaining Sword Qi.
With a "boom," the Divine Ship collided with the Sword Qi, shattering it.
However, the Tianxuan Divine Girl also suffered from the impact, being blasted away and heavily falling to the ground. Her face turned pale, and her breath became very weak.
Qiankun Venerate King looked at the injured Tianxuan Divine Girl, intending to finish her off while the opportunity was there.
Yet, he realized the many observant eyes in this place. Killing the Tianxuan Divine Girl would surely disrupt his father’s plans. Having other designs on the Tianxuan Divine Girl, he was unwilling to kill her before achieving his goal.
Suppressing his killing intent, Qiankun Venerate King halted his steps.
Seeing the injured Tianxuan Divine Girl, Gu Sheng hurried to her side to help her up: "Tianxuan Divine Girl, how are you? You should leave here quickly; it’s too dangerous."
The Tianxuan Divine Girl shook her head, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth: "No, I can’t leave. Today, I must stand with you to teach this Qiankun Venerate King a lesson."
Ignoring her injuries, she stood again, walking towards the Qiankun Venerate King.
Seeing the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s determination, Qiankun Venerate King’s anger rekindled: "Fine, if you’re seeking death, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
With those words, he gripped the Life and Death Sword with both hands, channeling all his Spiritual Power into it, and slashed a more terrifying strike towards the Tianxuan Divine Girl. This strike was more powerful than before, as if splitting the heavens and earth.
Injured, the Tianxuan Divine Girl could not withstand this strike.
Gu Sheng rushed forward, placing the Ancient Reincarnation Bell before the Tianxuan Divine Girl, releasing all his Spiritual Power in an attempt to mitigate the strike’s impact.
"Boom!"
A loud roar, the Sword Qi clashed against the Ancient Reincarnation Bell once more.
The powerful impact sent Gu Sheng and the Tianxuan Divine Girl flying. Yet neither gave up, quickly adjusting their stance and charging again towards Qiankun Venerate King.
The three exchanged blows in the air, engaging in a fierce battle.
The combat prowess Gu Sheng displayed, alongside the power of the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, stunned the onlookers.
The Holy Masters of other Holy Lands showed killing intent in their eyes. Allowing Gu Sheng to grow would pose a significant threat to their Holy Lands in the future.
In the crowd, the Tianlan Saint Master felt regret. Remembering the scene of stripping Gu Sheng of his Saint Heir status, he was filled with remorse: "Alas, had I known Gu Sheng had such potential, I wouldn’t have stripped him of the Saint Heir status.
But what can our Tianlan Sacred Land do in the hands of Qiankun Venerate King?"
But the Tianlan Saint Mother said: "Saint Master, this child Gu Sheng has great fortune and will certainly lead our Tianlan Sacred Land to glory. He once saved my and my daughter’s lives, and I won’t stand by when he is in trouble."
The Tianlan Saint Master spoke with concern: "Holy Mother, are you aware of Qiankun Venerate King’s strength? If we provoke him, our Tianlan Sacred Land might face ruin."
The Tianlan Saint Mother shook her head: "Saint Master, we can’t just think of self-preservation. If we can’t even protect a disciple with potential, what face do we have to stand in the world? Moreover, I believe in this child Gu Sheng; he will certainly overcome this crisis."
How could she watch Gu Sheng being killed? Yet, thinking of the countless lives in the Tianlan Sacred Land, she had to endure the internal pain and struggle.
The three figures clashed mid-air, the space around them buzzing with the impact.
The Qiankun Venerate King’s black robe billowed fiercely in the wind, each swing of his long sword accompanied by a whistling wind.
Gu Sheng’s clothes were tattered from the battle, his hair a bit disheveled.
The Tianxuan Divine Girl too looked serious, focusing all her strength on dealing with the Qiankun Venerate King’s attacks.
From the surrounding crowd came bursts of exclamations.
"These three young ones are so young yet have such combat strength, it’s unbelievable!"
An old man with white hair stroked his beard, shaking his head in amazement.
"Indeed, look at Gu Sheng, his moves are decisive, no wonder he killed the Kunpeng Taoist and caused the Six Great Holy Lands to lose so many geniuses."
A middle-aged man beside him concurred. People whispered, marveling at Gu Sheng’s talent. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that such a formidable figure could emerge in the Xinghong Spirit Domain, able to challenge the strongest geniuses of the Upper Realm.
From the dialogue between Qiankun Venerate King and Gu Sheng, people vaguely inferred that Gu Sheng had once suppressed Qiankun Venerate King. This news stirred a great commotion among the crowd.
"What? Gu Sheng could suppress Qiankun Venerate King? How is that possible!"
A young cultivator widened his eyes in disbelief.
"It seems Gu Sheng’s strength is far beyond what we see."
An elder from a Holy Land said with a grave expression.
Quickly, the topic turned to the inheritance of the Holy Road Master.
"What do you think the Holy Road Master’s inheritance is? It draws so much competition."
A small-built cultivator asked curiously.
"In my view, it might be the secret to immortality; otherwise, why would even the Holy Masters be tempted."
The fierce battle had lasted hundreds of rounds; the Tianxuan Divine Girl gradually felt strained. Her breath turned rapid, and sweat beaded on her forehead.
Seizing the opportunity, Qiankun Venerate King shouted and struck a massive palm.
This palm carried the force of a thousand tons. The Tianxuan Divine Girl couldn’t evade it and was sent flying by its impact.
She crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her breath turning weak.
Gu Sheng had been the main attacker, with the Tianxuan Divine Girl keeping the Qiankun Venerate King engaged.
But the Tianxuan Divine Girl’s strength was far from the Qiankun Venerate King’s. Despite her full efforts, she still struggled to withstand his assaults.
Taking advantage of the momentary setback to Gu Sheng, the Qiankun Venerate King focused his power on the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
He flew before the Tianxuan Divine Girl, swinging his long sword to unleash a fierce Sword Qi towards her. She aimed to defend but couldn’t, the sword swiftly incapacitating her.
