Chapter 1145 596: Mortal Crisis (2)
"Yes, this is the inheritance place left by the Holy Road Master, surely there will be many good things here. Everyone, look carefully!" Another disciple echoed. The crowd dispersed within the Immortal Mountain, each searching for their own fate.
Gu Sheng fled continuously within the Immortal Mountain, yet no matter how he ran, Wang Feng always followed behind him, impossible to shake off.
This can't continue; his Spiritual Power was being constantly depleted, sooner or later Wang Feng would catch up.
He gritted his teeth and decided to stop and fight Wang Feng to the death.
Gu Sheng abruptly turned, unleashing his strongest aura, his black robe fluttering aggressively.
With a loud shout, he hurled a punch at Wang Feng, a punch imbued with all his Spiritual Power, immense in power, causing the air to tremble and buzz.
Wang Feng stared at Gu Sheng's incoming punch, but remained indifferent.
He neither dodged nor avoided, letting Gu Sheng's fist pierce through his body.
Gu Sheng thought his punch succeeded.
But he soon discovered in horror, Wang Feng's physical body was not his true target.
At that moment, a sinister and powerful force swept towards Gu Sheng.
The owner of this Soul Power was none other than the infamous Old Monster Luo He, hidden within Wang Feng.
Old Monster Luo He was notorious in the Immortal Realm, his Soul Power strength, even in peak times, was unattainable for many cultivators.
He set his sights on the young Gu Sheng, intending to use the despicable technique of Body Seizing.
Gu Sheng sensed the overwhelming Soul Power onslaught and was terrified.
He swiftly activated his own Soul Power, attempting to build a defense.
But in the face of Luo He's nearly terrifyingly powerful Soul Power, Gu Sheng's Soul Power defense collapsed instantly.
"No! How can it be so strong!" Gu Sheng's heart shouted, but this silent cry seemed so powerless under Luo He's Soul Power pressure.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, every inch of skin bearing immense pressure.
Beyond the Immortal Mountain, Kunpeng Taoist waited idly.
He seemed to sense something unusual and soon realized Gu Sheng's Soul Power was facing unprecedented suppression.
"Hmph, seems that damn Old Monster Luo He is causing trouble again. The one within Wang Feng probably wants Gu Sheng's body for Body Seizing."
Kunpeng Taoist sneered, "This pain Gu Sheng suffers from being seized is far worse than a direct death, serves him right."
Luo He returned to the Immortal Mountain, preparing to seize Gu Sheng with full force.
His Soul Power surged unchecked, shaking the entire Immortal Mountain.
People outside the Immortal Temple, including Kunpeng Taoist, Refining Dragon Saintess, and Murong Qingcheng, clearly felt this powerful and terrifying Soul Power fluctuation.
They stood outside the Immortal Temple, their eyes fixed on the depths of the Immortal Mountain.
During the Body Seizing process, Luo He was thrilled to discover Gu Sheng was the legendary Heavenly Saint Body.
"Haha, never expected this kid to be the Heavenly Saint Body! Once I seize this body, I can surpass my peak, maybe even achieve immortality!" Luo He was ecstatic, his actions to seize even more urgent.
In the depths of the Immortal Mountain, Gu Sheng suffered immense pain. His body convulsed uncontrollably, his agonized appearance evoking a heart-wrenching sight.
His breath became weaker and weaker, each struggle seemed so powerless.
The people outside the Immortal Temple felt the painful aura emanating from the Immortal Mountain, their bodies trembling involuntarily.
Kunpeng Taoist and Murong Qingcheng coldly watched Gu Sheng suffer, as if he deserved such punishment.
Finally, the sound vanished completely from this world.
Kunpeng Taoist confirmed Gu Sheng was dead.
Yet Murong Qingcheng felt a vague sense of loss, as if she had lost something crucial.
"Now that Gu Sheng is dead, I can report back to the Holy Land," the Refining Dragon Saintess thought, unable to conceal her joy.
Kunpeng Taoist glanced around, reminding everyone, "Since Gu Sheng is dead, we should also leave. This Death Valley is the most dangerous forbidden area of the Holy Road, Old Monster Luo He could emerge anytime.
We better leave at once, who knows what our fate might be if we stay." With that, he turned and prepared to depart first.
Refining Dragon Saintess hastily agreed, nodding and following closely behind Kunpeng Taoist.
Murong Qingcheng regained composure, glanced at the mysterious Immortal Temple, hesitated for a while, but ultimately turned to leave as well.
Maybe due to Luo He's previous terror in Death Valley, the terrifying creatures had inexplicably vanished.
Their journey went incredibly smoothly; unexpectedly, they encountered no danger.
Seeing them move, others from the Holy Land, observing the calm journey, packed and prepared to leave this bizarre place.
Just as everyone was about to step out of Death Valley, unforeseen changes occurred. A powerful, unfamiliar transcendent Soul Power surged from the direction of the Immortal Temple.
Hysterical cries rang out, a madness felt by all.
Both Kunpeng Taoist and Murong Qingcheng paused in surprise, discerning that the voice was neither Gu Sheng's nor Wang Feng's, but more like Old Monster Luo He's.
That Soul Power, surpassing everything, transformed into divine chains, carrying an annihilating might towards the Immortal Temple.
As the divine chains descended heavily, the entire Immortal Temple shook violently, and the surrounding Immortal mist surged up madly, in the blink of an eye, shrouding the sky completely.
Old Monster Luo He's resentful roar ended, and his Soul Power aura completely vanished.
The seemingly vanished life aura of Gu Sheng reappeared in this world, and was in the process of recovery.
Kunpeng Taoist could not accept the unfolding events, disregarding danger, rushed back, releasing his conscious energy towards the Immortal Temple.
After probing, he truly sensed the familiar Spiritual Power aura belonging to Gu Sheng.
Beside him, Murong Qingcheng stumbled and directly fell to the ground, gazing distraughtly towards the Immortal Temple.
Inside Kunpeng Taoist's heart was certainty that the Holy Road Master had intervened to save Gu Sheng and destroy the terrifying Old Monster Luo He.
His thoughts swirled in frustration; seeing Gu Sheng was destined to die, yet unexpectedly events shifted.
Refining Dragon Saintess sighed helplessly, saying, "We should leave quickly; staying here is pointless. When Qiankun Venerate King emerges, let him come personally to kill Gu Sheng."
Hearing the name "Qiankun Venerate King," Kunpeng Taoist's previously dejected face lit up with spirit.
Feeling more invigorated, he strided away.
Murong Qingcheng cast a fierce glare at the Immortal Temple, biting her lip, followed suit.
Inside the Immortal Mountain, deep within, Gu Sheng lay on the ground, his breath weak, barely detectable. His life aura was slowly recovering, yet remained precariously fragile.
Just now, he faced the greatest death crisis in his existence.
Luo He's Soul Power was exceedingly oppressive, effortlessly breaking his defenses for Body Seizing.
What saved him was the mysterious and unfathomable Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book.
Specifically, it was the enigmatic lady slumbering in the Longevity Realm.
Back then, the mysterious lady left five Immortal Groups and three Dao Light black mists.
One Immortal Group reshaped his body, granting him the Purple Spirit Realm's premiere Saint Body, the Heavenly Saint Body.
Just a moment ago, one of the Dao Light black mists transformed into a terrifyingly powerful Soul Power, annihilating Luo He's Soul Power at first contact.
Gu Sheng survived fortunately, but he paid a steep price for it.
Gu Sheng lay there, slipping into slumber, as days passed.
Above the Immortal Mountain, the old man in the Daoist robe appeared daily, chanting endlessly profound Daoist Techniques.
