Chapter 1431: Chapter 738: Evil Dragon (2)
“You little beast! I’ll show you what a true Sect Realm means!”
Nature’s spiritual energy madly converged, forming above his head a colossal handprint thirty zhang in diameter. The palm lines were clearly visible, every line flowing with liquid Spiritual Energy, and the terrifying pressure forced both sides fighting in the distance to stop involuntarily.
“It’s the Ten Thousand Spirits Heaven-Shaking Palm!”
A Wanling Palace Disciple cried out.
“The elder is going all-out!”
Xiao Mengdie’s face turned deathly pale. In the Wanling Palace records, this palm had once flattened an entire mountain with a single strike.
She wanted to pull Gu Sheng and flee, but discovered the young man didn’t move a muscle, and three golden light points suddenly lit up around him.
“Three Grotto Heavens?”
Zhao Qianhuan’s pupils shrank.
“You actually opened up three Grotto Heavens?”
Gu Sheng did not answer. The three light points abruptly expanded into vortices, a vast tide of True Qi pouring into the Longsword.
The originally transparent blade turned completely red-gold at this moment, ancient runes surfacing across its surface.
“Slash!”
A simple, direct vertical chop. The instant the sword light met the handprint, time seemed to freeze. Then everyone saw that colossal handprint, said to be able to suppress a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, split cleanly into two from the middle!
The broken halves of the palm brushed past Gu Sheng’s sides and crashed into the ground, blasting out two bottomless craters.
When the dust dispersed, Gu Sheng’s figure standing with sword in hand plunged the entire arena into silence.
The ground beneath his feet was completely intact, as if some invisible barrier had blocked all impact.
“You… what kind of monster are you?”
Zhao Qianhuan’s voice began to tremble.
He knew better than anyone the power of that palm; even a mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm expert would have been smashed into pulp.
Gu Sheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, yet his smile grew even more wild.
“You’re scared already? I only used thirty percent of my strength.”
“Courting death!”
Zhao Qianhuan went completely berserk, actually biting through the tip of his tongue and spraying out Essence Blood. The blood
mist condensed in midair into nine blood-colored tiny swords, each one letting out a wail like a vengeful ghost.”
“Ten Thousand Spirits Life-Reaping Sword! I’d like to see how you block this!”
The nine swords shot out together, swelling to a hundred zhang the instant they left his hand. Wherever the sword aura passed, black cracks appeared in space, and dozens of Disciples on the plaza who failed to dodge in time were directly sliced into chunks by the aftershocks.
Gu Sheng finally changed expression.
Six more light points lit up on his chest—Nine Great Cave Heavens fully opened! Surging True Qi roared through his meridians, fine cracks appearing across the surface of his skin.
“Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword!”
The True Qi erupting from the nine Grotto Heavens formed a sword wheel above his head, countless Qi Swords entwined with Divine Flame shooting skyward like a storm.
The two forces collided in midair, and the shockwave from the explosion shook even the Ten Thousand Spirits Sky Sealing Cover until cracks appeared.
Gu Sheng’s face rapidly turned ashen, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth. But even more terrifying, Zhao Qianhuan, grinning savagely, condensed a second hundred-zhang blood sword.
“You little bastard, let’s see how you die this time!”
The instant the blood sword came cleaving down, a flash of silver suddenly flickered in Gu Sheng’s eyes.
An invisible spiritual ripple spread from the center of his brows, and Zhao Qianhuan’s movements suddenly froze, his gaze turning vacant.
The two blood swords, losing control, shattered in midair into a sky of blood rain.
“Now!”
Blood streamed from Gu Sheng’s seven orifices, yet he seized the gap created by the spiritual impact to dart forward like lightning. The Red Gold Long Sword thrust straight for Zhao Qianhuan’s throat, the Divine Flame on the sword edge scorching the air into distortion.
At that critical instant, clarity returned to Zhao Qianhuan’s eyes.
In his haste he could only condense a True Qi Sword to block, but then he saw a Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron phantom suddenly manifest behind Gu Sheng.
Golden light spewed from the cauldron’s mouth and poured into Gu Sheng’s body; his previously weakened aura abruptly soared tenfold!
“This is… no!!”
Zhao Qianhuan’s guard was like paper; the Red Gold Long Sword smashed through the True Qi Sword like rotten wood, its momentum undiminished as it swept across his neck.
Time seemed to freeze.
Gu Sheng’s figure appeared ten zhang behind Zhao Qianhuan, the Qi Sword in his hand dispersing.
He dropped to one knee, every pore on his body spraying blood, clearly pushed to his absolute limit.
Zhao Qianhuan still maintained his blocking posture when a blood line suddenly appeared on his neck.
Terror-stricken, he tried to reach for his throat, only to find his vision spinning wildly—at the instant his head parted from his body, the remaining Sword Qi shredded his torso into a mist of blood.
The entire place fell deathly silent.
An Earth Martial Realm counter-killing a Sect Realm, and crossing two major realms at that! This reality-defying scene left everyone forgetting to breathe.
The first to recover was Dark Shadow.
He flashed to Gu Sheng’s side, swept over him with his spiritual power, and drew in a sharp breath.
“You used your previous life’s Source? Are you insane! This body can’t possibly withstand it!”
Gu Sheng could no longer speak; he could only sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing.
A terrifying Life Force surged out from the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, constantly repairing his shattered flesh, but the newly formed flesh and blood quickly cracked open again due to energy overload.
This cycle, worse than death, twisted his features.
In the distance, the two remaining Sect Realm powerhouses of Wanling Palace exchanged a glance.
“This kid must not be allowed to live.”
The white-haired old crone said grimly.
“He can behead a Sect Realm while at Earth Martial Realm. If he breaks through to Heavenly Martial…”
Blood-colored Spiritual Energy surged and boiled above Wanling Palace.
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged at the center of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sky Sealing Cover, surrounded by a faint golden halo—sign that he was circulating a Healing Technique.
His face was pale, with traces of blood still at the corner of his lips, clearly showing that the previous battle had cost him dearly.
“Give me another half a stick of incense…”
Gu Sheng silently chanted in his heart. He could feel the chaotic True Qi in his body slowly returning to its proper paths, but he was still far from full recovery.
Just then, two black shadows cut across the battlefield, charging straight toward where Gu Sheng was.
They wielded strangely shaped Blood-colored Scimitars, their blades etched with twisted runes, exuding a nauseating stench of blood.
“Brat Gu Sheng, come hand over your life!”
The black-robed elder at the front grinned ferociously, the Evil Artifact in his hand already blazing with blinding blood light.
Xiao Xuanze’s figure suddenly burst out from the side. He was covered in blood, his left arm hanging at an unnatural angle, clearly heavily injured.
The Longsword in his hand drew out a brilliant sword aura, forcibly blocking the path of the two Sect Realm experts.
“If you want to touch Gu, you’ll have to pass through me first!”
Xiao Xuanze grit his teeth, his voice weak yet sonorous and resolute.
The black-robed elder snorted disdainfully.
“Just a newly advanced Sect Realm, and you dare stand in the way of us Blood Evil Dual Venerable? Courting death!”
Before his voice fell, two streaks of blood light had already shot toward Xiao Xuanze.
Xiao Xuanze forced himself to swing his sword in defense. Sword light and blood light clashed violently in the air, producing ear-piercing explosions.
With every exchange, Xiao Xuanze’s face grew a shade paler, yet he never retreated half a step.
“Mr. Xiao, fall back! You’re no match for them!”
Gu Sheng, sensing the situation outside, transmitted an anxious message.
Xiao Xuanze’s mouth overflowed with fresh blood, yet he revealed a resolute smile.
“Gu, even if I die today, I absolutely will not let them harm you in the slightest!”
Just as the battle between the two sides reached its fiercest point, a black shadow streaked across the battlefield at a speed nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly surpassing the Blood Evil Dual Venerable and landing steadily in front of Gu Sheng.
Shadow’s figure emerged from the darkness. She dropped to one knee, a pitch-black short blade in each hand, her gaze icy cold.
“Shadow…”
Feeling the familiar aura, Gu Sheng’s heart eased slightly.
Seeing this, the Blood Evil Dual Venerable bared their teeth in a hideous grin.
“Another one come to die! Today, we’ll send you all on your way together!”
The two of them simultaneously raised their Evil Artifacts, blood light surging skyward, condensing in midair into two blood-colored giant dragons over ten zhang long.
The giant dragons roared at the heavens, shaking the entire battlefield, then dove down, respectively attacking Xiao Xuanze and Shadow.
“Careful! Those are Evil Dragons forged by Blood Soul Sacrifice!”
Enduring his injuries, Gu Sheng forcefully transmitted a warning.
Xiao Xuanze let out a shout, his entire body’s True Qi erupting, transforming into a sky full of rosy light as it crashed toward one of the blood dragons.
The rosy light collided with the blood dragon, unleashing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering boom.
Xiao Xuanze was sent flying, smashing heavily into a rock wall dozens of zhang away, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
Shadow, meanwhile, turned into a Dark Shadow, charging head-on at the other blood dragon.
Her short blades traced countless black trajectories in the air, forcibly tearing the blood dragon to shreds.
However, the instant she shattered the first blood dragon, the second had already bypassed her, lunging straight toward the utterly defenseless Gu Sheng.
“No!”
Shadow let out a heart-wrenching scream, her eyes filled with grim resolve.
At that critical instant, Shadow’s body suddenly ignited with a ghostly blue flame—the sign that her Origin Fire had been ignited.
Her aura surged in an instant, breaking through the shackles of the Sect Realm and reaching an entirely new height.
