Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1262: Chapter 655: Stop Him

"No... impossible!"

Wang Xiu Jie widened his eyes.

"He’s absorbing the power of a Holy Master-level monster?!"

Lv Feng and the others were speechless, only able to watch the scene in horror.

They suddenly realized, what kind of monster were they actually hunting?

Gu Sheng’s body slowly floated up, the black-red beams gradually receding, but the suction from the vortex between his eyebrows grew stronger.

Blood River began to form a massive vortex centered on him, with the river water, Spiritual Energy, and even light being twisted and devoured!

"Escape... hurry, escape!"

Wang Xiu Jie finally felt fear, his voice trembling.

"Leave Blood River! Immediately!"

The Battle Array changed direction, frantically rushing towards the river’s surface.

Lv Feng and the others also reacted, doing their utmost to move upstream.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deep within Blood River, massive monsters exploded one after another, with the impact of the blasts lifting hundreds of meters of scarlet water into the sky.

Crimson river water poured down, making the whole expanse of the heavens tremble.

In this chaos, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Reflected in his pupils was this crimson world, while the vortex protruding from his forehead was slowly dissipating.

Reaching out to touch his brow, he felt a black Spirit Stone there, radiating a bloody glow.

This was the relic he acquired from Qingsheng City Lord.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng looked inwardly at himself, shocked to find Spiritual Power surging within his body, his Cultivation breaking through the Earth Palace Realm’s constraints, directly reaching the Heavenly Palace Realm!

Even more astonishingly, the strength of his physical body had spiked to the mid-to-late Heavenly Palace Realm level!

"Blood River... has such miraculous effects?"

Gu Sheng felt the overwhelming power within him, eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

The terrifying monsters, comparable to Holy Masters, were continuously bursting and dying, with black blood merging into the river and being absorbed by his forehead vortex.

The oppressiveness from the closest monsters even reminded him of Tianlan Saint Master!

"Bang!"

The last red-haired monster burst open, plunging Blood River into an eerie calm.

The monsters besieging Wang Xiu Jie and the others withdrew, vanishing in a blink.

Gu Sheng’s forehead vortex finally disappeared completely, with the skyrocketed power stabilizing.

But the surroundings were still filled with violent energy turbulence, with the river’s rebounding water pushing him toward the Supreme Treasure Sword piercing the heavens.

"Heaven helps me too!"

Gu Sheng swam towards the treasure sword.

With each stroke, his body shot out dozens of meters, multiplying his speed several times over!

Meanwhile, Wang Xiu Jie and the others were just recovering from the shock of surviving a near-death experience.

"All... dead?"

Wang Xiu Jie was at first bewildered, then burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha! Heaven hasn’t abandoned me! That kid must be nothing but bones now!"

Lv Feng and the others were less optimistic, staring coldly at Wang Xiu Jie, eyes full of resentment.

If that bastard hadn’t abandoned them to escape, their people wouldn’t have suffered such terrible losses.

"Search! Find Gu Sheng’s body for me!"

Wang Xiu Jie shouted angrily.

"The secrets he carries cannot be lost!"

The Battle Array glowed once more, Wang Xiu Jie led his followers into the still-raging energy storm.

The storm’s center was empty, not even a scrap of cloth remained.

"How can this be?"

Wang Xiu Jie’s face was as dark as water.

"Did the monsters eat him so thoroughly there’s not even residue left?"

Lv Feng and the others also rushed in, equally shocked at the sight.

"Spread out to search!"

Wang Xiu Jie said through gritted teeth.

"Alive, see the person; dead, see the corpse!"

Just as they were about to disperse to search, a Loose Cultivator pointed fearfully into the distance.

"That... that is..."

Everyone followed his direction, seeing at the end of Blood River a silhouette swimming towards the Supreme Treasure Sword at astonishing speed.

Though distant, that familiar figure—who else could it be but Gu Sheng?

"Gu Sheng?!"

Wang Xiu Jie nearly popped his eyeballs out.

"He’s not dead?!"

After a brief shock, unprecedented greed exploded in Wang Xiu Jie’s eyes.

"Chase! He must be caught! Alive, he’s worth more than dead!"

The Loose Cultivator who first spotted Gu Sheng rushed out impatiently, fully unleashing the Heavenly Palace Realm power, pushing his speed to the limit.

Others quickly reacted, activating Spiritual Power to give chase.

For a moment, Blood River was filled with dazzling rays and murderous intent soared to the skies!

Gu Sheng felt the commotion behind him, turned back, and his heart tightened.

But he quickly calmed down, feeling the mighty force within him, smirking coldly.

"Trying to chase me?"

Gu Sheng gave a sharp kick with his legs, further increasing his speed.

"Then come and try!"

Though his Cultivation still couldn’t match Wang Xiu Jie and the others, Gu Sheng’s physical strength was now enough to compensate for the gap.

He moved like a fish in Blood River, able to pull away with each exertion.

In the distance, hidden in the shadows, Ling Xiao saw it all, excitedly repeating three times.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to not only survive but also gain tremendous strength from adversity.

Now that Gu Sheng was freed, what awaited him might be even greater opportunities.

Of course, it might also be greater dangers.

"Gu, from now on it depends on your Creation."

In Ling Xiao’s mind, ancient scenes flashed one after another—

The heavens tremble, dark clouds obscure the sun.

Countless Immortal Demons battle fiercely in the sky, Magical Treasures’ light piercing the long sky, and the waves of Magic shattering mountains and rivers.

Blood rains down, staining the entire land red. Those monsters descending from the sky are just like those he saw in Blood River...

"So that’s how it is..." Ling Xiao murmured in a low voice.

"These monsters are relics from the Ancient Immortal Demon War..."

He looked up at Blood River, those terrifying monsters were already obliterated with Gu Sheng’s transformation, and the remaining ones were fleeing in all directions.
