Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1558: Chapter 802: What Monster

Twelve powerful auras were rapidly approaching, the slowest among them at the peak of the Sect Realm, while the leader, a Heavenly Gang, had reached the Human King Realm.

"I’ll have to face them head-on."

Gu Sheng, with the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron spinning rapidly inside his body, unleashed a chilling aura identical to that of Venerable Ming River.

"Boom!"

The twelve figures landed almost simultaneously, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Their eyes were cold and murderous, but when Gu Sheng released the aura of Venerable Ming River, their expressions immediately turned confused.

"Kneel!"

Gu Sheng shouted sternly.

The twelve martial artists knelt on one knee in unison, their movements uniform as if they were well-trained soldiers.

Sweat trickled down Gu Sheng’s forehead as controlling twelve corpse puppets consumed a great deal of his spiritual power.

He had to finish this quickly.

"Now, fight each other until only one remains!"

Gu Sheng delivered a cruel command.

In an instant, the once-still corpse puppets erupted into action.

The two Sect Realm martial artists closest to each other attacked almost simultaneously—one’s palm wind was as sharp as a blade, targeting the other’s throat, while the other’s punch was like a dragon, striking at the opponent’s heart.

"Bang!"

Blood splattered as both Sect Realm martial artists died simultaneously.

The other corpse puppets also found targets and began intense battles.

Gu Sheng retreated behind a large rock, coldly watching the internecine massacre.

The Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron continued to spin within him, maintaining control over the corpse puppets.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed as another Sect Realm martial artist was torn open by a comrade, their heart forcibly removed.

As the strongest, the Heavenly Gang, who was a Human King Realm corpse puppet, rampaged unimpeded, shattering the skull of a Sect Realm peak corpse puppet with one punch.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, leaving only the Heavenly Gang standing.

He was drenched in blood, missing his left arm and right leg, but the Human King Realm aura remained terrifying.

Gu Sheng emerged from behind the rock, his face pale as paper.

Controlling so many high-level corpse puppets had nearly depleted his spiritual power.

"Well done, Heavenly Gang."

Gu Sheng struggled to walk up to the Heavenly Gang.

"Now, end yourself."

The Heavenly Gang’s eyes fluctuated violently, seemingly struggling.

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened as he immediately increased the output of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron.

But just then, the essence of Venerable Ming River within him suddenly fluctuated and then completely dissipated.

"Damn it!"

Gu Sheng’s expression changed drastically.

The Heavenly Gang’s eyes instantly cleared, murderous intent surging like a tide.

"You little scoundrel, how dare you control me!"

Despite having only one leg and one arm, the Heavenly Gang still unleashed astonishing combat power.

His remaining left arm swung forcefully, and a True Qi Ribbon, thousands of feet long like the Milky Way, slashed down at Gu Sheng’s head.

"Nine Dragon Body Protection!"

In a hurry, Gu Sheng wielded all the power of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, surrounding himself with nine golden dragon phantoms that formed a golden barrier.

"Boom!"

The True Qi Ribbon collided with the golden dragon barrier, exploding with a deafening roar.

Gu Sheng was flung dozens of feet away by the massive impact, crashing heavily into a mountain wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Cough, cough..."

Gu Sheng struggled to stand, the phantom of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron flickering behind him.

"As expected of... the Human King Realm..."

The Heavenly Gang sneered, hopping on one leg to approach.

"A mere Heavenly Martial Realm dares covet Venerable Ming’s corpse puppet? Today you’ll learn what being better off dead means!"

Gu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, determination in his eyes.

"Is that so? Then let’s see who dies first!"

He activated all the power within him, the phantom of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron solidifying instantly, the nine golden dragons roaring and merging into his body.

At the same time, an ancient longsword appeared in his hand... the Southern Emperor Sword!

"Beichen Sky-breaking Sword!"

Gu Sheng let out a long howl, his figure transforming into a golden stream of light, charging straight at the Heavenly Gang.

Where the sword light passed, space seemed torn apart, emitting a piercing screech.

The Heavenly Gang’s expression changed drastically, hastily gathering all his True Qi for defense.

However, this sword contained the Origin Power of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, its power far beyond his expectations.

"Pff!"

The sword light pierced through the Heavenly Gang’s chest, bringing forth a spray of blood.

The Heavenly Gang looked down incredulously at the bloody hole in his chest, his lips trembling.

"This... is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible."

Gu Sheng said coldly, flicking his wrist as the Southern Emperor Sword burst with radiant light, shredding the Heavenly Gang’s body into pieces with Sword Qi.

With the Heavenly Gang’s death, Gu Sheng finally exhaled deeply, his legs nearly giving way.

The battle consumed him greatly; without the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron and the Half-step Glazed Golden Body, he would have perished.

"The Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron is indeed infinitely useful."

Gu Sheng looked inside himself, noticing mysterious patterns on the cauldron’s surface.

"Not only can it mimic auras, but it can also store Origin Power..."

He suddenly thought that if he could utilize this ability well, it might yield unexpected effects at crucial moments.

For example... pretending to be a confidant of Venerable Ming River?

Gu Sheng shook his head. Now was not the time to think about these things.

He had to leave quickly; Venerable Ming River might have sensed the death of the corpse puppets.

"I need to make a trip to Great Wilderness City."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

"There, with its many people and mixed intents, is the best place to hide."

He quickly cleaned up the battlefield, storing a few relatively intact corpse puppets into the storage ring... these were excellent research materials.

Then, he transformed into a stream of light, speeding towards Great Wilderness City.

At the same time, in the depths of a dark hall at the junction of East Desolation and the Northern Territory.

"Bang!"

Venerable Ming River shattered the jade stone table in front of him with a palm, causing the entire hall to tremble.
