Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Kunpeng Taoist nodded lightly and replied softly, ”Understood.”

From the expression of Qiankun Venerate King, he could tell that the Qiankun Venerate King had decided to fight desperately. In this regard, Kunpeng Taoist couldn’t wait for this situation to occur, hoping that both Qiankun Venerate King and Gu Sheng could mutually exhaust themselves.

At that time, he could reap the benefits as a bystander. After all, he was only responsible for the soul power attack and didn’t need to personally fight Gu Sheng to the death.

After getting Kunpeng Taoist’s response, Qiankun Venerate King dragged the Life and Death Sword, transforming into a shadow, and charged straight toward Gu Sheng.

In his advance, the Demonic Qi from the Divine Sword in his hand surged more and more terrifyingly, enveloping the surroundings. At the same time, black runes flew out from his Void Ring and attached to the blade of the Life and Death Sword.

Qiankun Venerate King fiercely slapped his own chest, and a mouthful of essence blood spurted out. He quickly smeared this essence blood all over the Life and Death Sword. The Life and Death Sword began to tremble violently, and a strong force was surging within the sword.

Seeing Qiankun Venerate King’s series of actions, Gu Sheng was wary in his heart.

He scrutinized the sword in Qiankun Venerate King’s hand, and unexpectedly, sinister, agonizing infant faces appeared on the blade of the Life and Death Sword. The expressions of these infant faces were extremely tragic, as if they were suffering fates worse than death.

Gu Sheng wondered, ”What kind of method is this?” He couldn’t discern what Qiankun Venerate King intended to do. But his intuition told him that the next strike from Qiankun Venerate King would be formidable.

Tianxuan Divine Girl, beside him, also communicated to Gu Sheng, ”I can’t figure out what he’s planning either, but it’s definitely his trump card.”

The means employed by Qiankun Venerate King evidently were not ordinary secret techniques of the Supreme Immortal Sect but rather an ancient secret technique unique to himself.

Such unknown ancient secret techniques often hide great power because no one truly knows just how terrifying they are.

Qiankun Venerate King stood proud at the battlefield’s center. This sword was his trump card, containing endless fiendish energy, once unleashed with full force, it could change the world.

Qiankun Venerate King raised the sword high and angrily slashed it toward the distant Gu Sheng. This sword carried earth-shattering might, leaving black cracks wherever it passed.

Gu Sheng stood in place, facing this horrific attack. He watched as the Life and Death Sword slashed downward with fury, his arm lightly trembled. A robust Sword Qi emanated from his fingers. Although his Dragon Slayer Sword was broken, he used his hand as a sword, and the Sword Qi he emitted remained sharp.

This Sword Qi seemed to possess an invisible force, causing the surrounding air to warp, imposing great pressure on all present.

Not far away, Gongsun Yue, watching, couldn’t help but cover her mouth, emitting a gasp of shock.

Gongsun Yue was a disciple of Tianlan Sacred Land and had some knowledge of various martial techniques. She immediately recognized that the Martial Technique Gu Sheng exhibited was Tianlan Sacred Land’s strongest swordsmanship—Saint-level Martial Technique Infinite Sword Qi.

She had been cultivating for many years and had always been researching this martial technique, lingering only in the entry-level. The Sword Qi she could exhibit was extremely weak, a far cry from the robust Sword Qi Gu Sheng had condensed.

Gongsun Yue marveled, the first level of Saint-level Martial Technique was as difficult as ascending to heaven. In Tianlan Sacred Land, many core disciples couldn’t master this first level, not to mention the second level, which even disciples at the Earth Palace Realm found hard to attain.

Yet Gu Sheng, with only the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm, if he truly mastered the second level of Infinite Sword Qi, then his cultivation talent would be beyond strong, indescribable by mere genius, utterly monstrous, beyond normal human strength.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yue dared not ponder further, her gaze full of admiration.

Qiankun Venerate King initially didn’t pay much attention to the Saint-level Martial Technique displayed by Gu Sheng. He thought that the grade of his own cultivation technique far surpassed Gu Sheng’s. Although Saint-level Martial Techniques are powerful, with Gu Sheng’s cultivation, how much power could he really exhibit?

Soon he realized something was amiss. The strength of the Sword Qi Gu Sheng emitted was approaching his own.

For a cultivator like Qiankun Venerate King, sometimes possessing techniques too strong at a lower realm was not beneficial.

The higher the level of martial techniques, the more difficult they are to cultivate, with extremely stringent requirements for spiritual power.

However, if low-level martial techniques could be cultivated to a high degree, they could also overpower higher-level martial techniques.

However, when a cultivator reaches a high realm, low-level martial techniques find it hard to maintain an advantage, and it’s only then that high-level martial techniques reveal their true edge.

Qiankun Venerate King realized, if Gu Sheng’s attainment in Saint-level Martial Techniques was too extraordinary, then even pulling out the most domineering martial technique from the Supreme Immortal Sect might not defeat him.

Gu Sheng was fully focused, using his hand as a sword, preparing to unleash a domineering and world-shocking strike. The spiritual power in his body gathered toward his arm.

With a low shout, the Sword Qi tore through the sky, causing the Void along its path to collapse violently.

Amidst the collapsing Void, a part of the Immortal Temple faintly appeared. It’s unknown how many years this Immortal Temple has existed, rumored to hide endless treasures, now partially revealed by the impact.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s remarkably strong Sword Qi, Qiankun Venerate King was furious. Gu Sheng had no Spiritual Artifact, so how could he possibly resist the Life and Death Sword with just Sword Qi?

A deep bell toll resounded. Gu Sheng summoned the Ancient Reincarnation Bell. This Ancient Reincarnation Bell is an extremely powerful magical treasure, mainly used for defense. But its indestructible body can also weaken the power of the Life and Death Sword.

A gigantic Ancient Bronze Bell appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of Gu Sheng.

The Ancient Reincarnation Bell and the Life and Death Sword clashed again, and with a loud bang, it felt as if the surrounding air had solidified.

The next moment, the domineering Sword Qi slashed by Gu Sheng with his hand landed.

After Gu Sheng unleashed this strike, his aura became significantly weaker.

The power of Infinite Sword Qi is extremely formidable, but the consumption of spiritual power is also massive. With his current cultivation, unleashing a single strike of Infinite Sword Qi already pushed him to his limit.

Gu Sheng, taking the time, fully operated the Nine Dragon Heaven and Earth Technique to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, recovering his state while closely watching the Sword Qi slashing toward the Life and Death Sword.

Gu Sheng’s thoughts drifted back to his experiences in the Reincarnation World. In the Reincarnation World, he lived through several lifetimes, where apart from his consciousness being autonomous, his path and strength depended on another person within the Reincarnation World.

He always suspected that person was the Holy Road Master. To be precise, it was the experiences of the Holy Road Master when he was alive. He relived the life of the Holy Road Master with his own consciousness, and his performance in it was the key to the evaluation’s success or failure.

Although the cultivation he gained in the Reincarnation World couldn’t be brought back to the real world, the various experiences in the Reincarnation World resulted in a qualitative enhancement of his spirit and realm.

He applied this feedback to the cultivation techniques he practiced, leading to his explosive growth. His mental methods and martial techniques have greatly improved.

And this was his confidence to confront Qiankun Venerate King, knowing he also had trump cards.

The area where Gu Sheng and Qiankun Venerate King were fighting was soon shrouded in endless waves of detonating shockwaves. The intense aftermath transformed into a black beam of light shooting into the sky, piercing the heavens and revealing an enormous, shocking black hole.

From the explosion’s core, continual dull collision sounds emerged, with both the Ancient Reincarnation Bell and the Life and Death Sword being knocked away.

Qiankun Venerate King flew backward several hundred meters. His face was flushed, and he spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura drastically declining.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng was also injured by the terrifying explosion’s aftermath, retreating awkwardly, his clothes covered in blood, and his body trembling uncontrollably.

Gu Sheng, gritting his teeth against the body’s severe pain, held onto only one thought, which was to defeat Qiankun Venerate King.

He charged toward Qiankun Venerate King. In terms of willpower, he far exceeded Qiankun Venerate King.

Having consumed a vast amount of spiritual power, he resorted to the Three Realms Thunder Fist. Using spiritual power as an aid and physical strength as the main force, he launched a fierce assault on Qiankun Venerate King. Every punch unleashed carried a whistling sound, capable of tearing the air apart.

Qiankun Venerate King hurriedly and frantically countered. Relying on the strength of his Sacred Body, he forcefully withstood several of Gu Sheng’s punches. He resisted while retreating, constantly spitting out fresh blood from his mouth.

There was a time when his formidable Sacred Body was his proudest asset. Countless enemies with higher realms were defeated by him relying on the might of his physical body.
