Chapter 1153 600: Crossing the Void (Part 2)
Today, Qiankun Venerate King surprisingly managed to kill the Mysterious Taoist, news that stirred up huge waves among everyone.
With the death of the Mysterious Taoist, the aura that once enveloped Death Valley seemed to gradually dissipate, and the danger level of Death Valley plummeted.
Though the Mysterious Taoist has died, the array she set up still operates continuously.
Rays of light shoot out from the array, crazily attacking the surroundings.
However, the array's attack power is getting weaker and weaker.
Qiankun Venerate King doesn't care; he holds the head of the Mysterious Taoist in one hand and tightly grips the Life and Death Sword in the other as he strides forward, charging against the array's attacks.
Step by step, he approaches the direction where Gu Sheng is. As he finally gets closer to Gu Sheng, he keenly senses that Gu Sheng's aura fluctuations are extremely intense.
The aura waves assault one after another, striking towards a higher realm.
Qiankun Venerate King speculates that Gu Sheng might have passed the inheritance assessment and is undergoing a supreme inheritance.
Upon thinking this, a strong wave of anger surges within him, he absolutely cannot let Gu Sheng smoothly complete the inheritance.
He lets out a roar, disregarding everything and charging madly towards Gu Sheng.
The array's attacks did not stop due to Qiankun Venerate King's fury. Rays of light fell upon him, each containing strong power.
In desperation, Qiankun Venerate King had to wield his sword to counterattack. He swung the Life and Death Sword tightly, colliding with the array's attacks, creating loud booms.
But in doing so, his speed was greatly affected, the originally swift steps slowed down considerably.
Qiankun Venerate King was anxious, time was pressing. He decided to ignore the array's attacks, focusing on charging towards Gu Sheng.
His body was struck by the array's beams, wounds quickly appeared, dyeing his clothes red with blood.
But fortunately, the array's power had significantly decreased at this time, while his injuries kept increasing, they weren't life-threatening.
He gritted his teeth against the intense pain, continuing to draw closer to Gu Sheng.
The doors of the Immortal Temple suddenly shook, and a group of people walked out. Leading the group was the Tianxuan Divine Girl.
When these people saw Qiankun Venerate King, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Qiankun Venerate King stopped his pace, turned around and looked.
Upon seeing Tianxuan Divine Girl and the disciples of Tianlan Sacred Land, a look of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't expect these people actually came out alive.
Qiankun Venerate King said with a sinister tone: "Oh, isn't this Tianxuan Divine Girl? It seems you paid quite a price to escape the Ancient Array."
Tianxuan Divine Girl coldly questioned: "Where is Gu Sheng?"
Qiankun Venerate King maliciously said: "Humph, you came just in time, I was just about to let you watch me kill Gu Sheng!"
Tianxuan Divine Girl heard Qiankun Venerate King's words and immediately rejoiced, she realized Gu Sheng is indeed still alive.
She looked excitedly at the lotus emitting a purple-gold glow.
Gongsun Yue and others following Tianxuan Divine Girl also felt very excited upon hearing Qiankun Venerate King's words, they finally found Gu Sheng's whereabouts.
Gongsun Yue glanced around the crowd and found Murong Qingcheng among them. She instantly burned with anger, eager to rush over and settle accounts with Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng seemed to sense Gongsun Yue's gaze, guiltily lowering her head, avoiding her gaze.
Tianxuan Divine Girl carefully observed Gu Sheng's condition and found his aura strong but very unstable, at any moment there's a risk of losing control in cultivation. Gu Sheng's situation is very critical, someone must help him buy time.
She drew her longsword from her waist and loudly declared: "I will help him buy time!"
Gongsun Yue and Bixuan heard Tianxuan Divine Girl's words and knew they would only become burdens if they went. They could only stand where they were, anxiously watching Tianxuan Divine Girl head towards Qiankun Venerate King.
Tianxuan Divine Girl's figure rushed towards Qiankun Venerate King. Each swing of the longsword in her hand stirred up a fierce gust of wind.
The disciples from Sacred Land who followed Qiankun Venerate King felt terrified seeing Tianxuan Divine Girl charging.
They retreated backward, unwilling to confront Tianxuan Divine Girl head-on.
Tianxuan Divine Girl's arrival immediately frightened many away.
Qiankun Venerate King saw Tianxuan Divine Girl rushing over and turned to the Kunpeng Taoist beside him, saying: "Kunpeng, you go hold her off!"
Kunpeng Taoist heard Qiankun Venerate King's order and looked troubled. The force behind Tianxuan Divine Girl is exceptionally strong, if he offends her, it will surely lead to severe consequences in the future.
But Qiankun Venerate King's order he dared not disregard, he stood hesitantly.
Qiankun Venerate King saw Kunpeng Taoist's hesitation, immediately furious, exclaiming: "What are you afraid of? Offending her is less serious than disobeying me, if you don't follow my orders, don't expect to leave here alive today!"
Kunpeng Taoist was extremely conflicted. On one side was the terrifyingly powerful Qiankun Venerate King, offending him could swiftly lead to death.
On the other side was Purple Spirit Realm Master's precious Tianxuan Divine Girl, offending her also meant inevitable trouble from Purple Spirit Realm Master. Either side offended meant bad outcomes.
Qiankun Venerate King saw Kunpeng Taoist still hesitant, again angrily urging: "Aren't you taking action yet? Are you trying to defy my command?"
Kunpeng Taoist made a decision, clasping his fist towards Qiankun Venerate King: "The venerable king, calm your anger, I will act now." As soon as he finished speaking, his aura dramatically escalated, charged with a fierce gust towards Tianxuan Divine Girl.
Kunpeng Taoist is a top-tier Second-level Holy Road cultivator with mysterious depths of cultivation. Though slightly inferior to Tianxuan Divine Girl and Qiankun Venerate King, Tianxuan Divine Girl had just endured a fierce battle, nowhere near peak condition.
Kunpeng Taoist thought to himself that given the situation, facing off with Tianxuan Divine Girl, he might not necessarily lose.
Tianxuan Divine Girl saw Kunpeng Taoist advancing, her expression icy.
Kunpeng Taoist hastily clasped his fist: "Goddess, forgive me, I am forced by circumstances." Finishing his words, he started attacking, meanwhile secretly transmitting to Tianxuan Divine Girl: "Goddess, I will intentionally go easy, seize the chance to wound me."
Tianxuan Divine Girl's expression slightly softened, yet she didn't know this was merely part of Kunpeng Taoist's plan.
The two clashed as one. Kunpeng Taoist seemed like attacking fiercely, but secretly held back.
Before long, Tianxuan Divine Girl spotted a flaw, and with a burst of force, knocked Kunpeng Taoist down.
Kunpeng Taoist spat a mouthful of blood, falling into the Blood River below.
Qiankun Venerate King was furious: "Kunpeng, you can't even hold off that girl for a quarter of an hour, utterly useless!" With that, he swung his longsword, shattering the array's attacks and forced to accelerate forward.
Tianxuan Divine Girl wasn't easy to deal with, one shouldn't fight desperately with her.
The ancient array quickly restructured widespread attacks, targeting Tianxuan Divine Girl.
Qiankun Venerate King saw Tianxuan Divine Girl locked by the array and felt delighted.
Because this way, Tianxuan Divine Girl instead took part of the array's attack load off him.
Tianxuan Divine Girl quickly realized the attack from the array is blind yet now was too late to change the fact that Qiankun Venerate King's pressure had reduced.
Left with no choice, Tianxuan Divine Girl had to summon the severely damaged Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship.
As the divine ship appeared, it emitted seven-colored divine light, its formidable power of space-time protecting Tianxuan Divine Girl.
Tianxuan Divine Girl controlled the divine ship, crossing the void, in the blink of an eye appeared behind Qiankun Venerate King.
Qiankun Venerate King resolved the array attacks before turning to see Tianxuan Divine Girl appearing.
He coldly spoke: "Little girl, your Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship seems severely impaired by the array's attacks too." With that, he angrily slashed at Tianxuan Divine Girl.
Tianxuan Divine Girl remained unfazed, directly summoning a black rune covered with heads. The rune appeared and ignited in the wind, turning into a hundred-yard large fanged giant beast.
The giant beast roared to the sky, opening its mouth, swallowing both Qiankun Venerate King and his Life and Death Sword whole. Tianxuan Divine Girl seized the moment to burn her last Life Protection Talisman and summon back the Sun and Moon Space-Time Divine Ship.
