Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 606: Chapter 327: Defeating the Beast Tide of Longyun Country

Emperor Long Aoyu’s expression changed upon hearing this: ”What? Quickly gather our forces and prepare for battle!”

Gu Sheng also stood up, a flash of determination in his eyes: ”Your Majesty, I am willing to lend a helping hand.”

Emperor Long Aoyu looked at Gu Sheng, a trace of admiration flickering in his gaze: ”Good! Gu Sheng, I will leave this to you!”

A great battle was about to commence. How would Gu Sheng respond to this sudden Demon Beast assault? How would his choices influence the fate of the Western Regions? Everything was full of uncertainties and variables.

Outside the city, demon beasts howled, and clouds of dust billowed. Gu Sheng stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance at the ferocious Demon Beasts, his expression grim.

”Boom!” A thick cloud of dust rose on the horizon, like a stampede of ten thousand galloping horses. The ground trembled from the advancing tide of Demon Beasts.

On the city wall, Long Youguang stood side by side with Gu Sheng. Concern overflowed from his eyes: ”Brother Gu, this Beast Tide is far fiercer than any we’ve faced before. Are you truly willing to stay and fight alongside us?”

Gu Sheng nodded resolutely: ”Your Highness, I, Gu Sheng, am no coward. Since I am here, I will not stand idly by.”

At that moment, Yu Qingyang arrived hastily. Looking at Gu Sheng, he wore a guilty expression: ”Brother Gu, regarding what happened before, I was too impulsive, I...”

”Clan Leader Yu, let the past remain in the past. What we must face now are these Demon Beasts,” Gu Sheng interrupted, his gaze firm and unyielding.

The three men stood shoulder-to-shoulder, confronting the Beast Tide that surged toward them like a relentless wave. The deafening roars of the Demon Beasts filled the air, yet the three atop the city wall showed no trace of fear.

”Howl——” One after another, Demon Beasts leapt up, pouncing toward the city wall. Their cultivation had astonishingly reached the Third Layer Heaven of the Sea Floor Realm, stronger than even high-level Martial Artists among humans.

”Hmph, bring it on!” Gu Sheng snorted coldly before his figure flashed and darted forward. Leveraging basic Martial Arts techniques, he easily subdued several Demon Beasts at the forefront. Though his cultivation was merely at the Second Layer Heaven of the Sea Floor Realm, his Martial Arts mastery ran deep. Every move of his was executed with exact precision.

As the Beast Tide’s fury intensified, Gu Sheng was forced to unleash the Great Prajna Sutra. A phantom of the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell manifested within him. With a resounding ”hum——,” a wave of mysterious power radiated outward. Golden tides surged, their might boundless, as if they could tear through the heavens. Bathed in this golden energy, the attacks of the Demon Beasts visibly slowed.

”Strike now, attack!” Long Youguang shouted. The warriors atop the city wall immediately launched a ferocious counterattack, repelling wave after wave of Demon Beasts.

However, the Beast Tide did not retreat. Instead, its fury reached a new height. The defenders atop the city wall soon found themselves locked in a bitter struggle. Gu Sheng realized that continuing this way would lead to disaster. He had to find a way to decisively drive back the Demon Beasts.

At that moment, a gargantuan Demon Beast emerged from the tide, charging straight for the city wall. Its cultivation had soared to the peak of the Third Layer Heaven of the Sea Floor Realm, far surpassing its companions.

”This is bad! Everyone, fall back!” Long Youguang shouted. Yet, Gu Sheng remained unmoved, taking a deep breath as he prepared to unleash his trump card.

Golden light rippled across Gu Sheng’s entire form, making him appear as though a golden War God had descended to the mortal realm. Activating the Ancient Sacred Body, his body radiated a brilliant golden glow, his entire being wrapped in resplendent light. With a sudden clap of his hands, an enormous golden palm materialized in the air and slammed down toward the monstrous Demon Beast.

”Boom——” A massive impact resounded. The enormous Demon Beast was sent flying backward by the golden palm. Seizing the momentum, Gu Sheng revealed his weapons—the Seven-colored Jade Maiden Sword and the Thirsty Blood Battle Axe. These two Treasure-grade Mystical Weapons gleamed with life under his command. In dazzling arcs of brilliance, they felled several Demon Beasts in an instant.

The Beast Tide, however, continued its ceaseless tidal assault, seeming endless in its ferocity. Inhaling deeply, Gu Sheng resolved to execute his ultimate trump card—the Devil Emperor’s Heart.

”Swish!”

He summoned the Devil Emperor’s Heart, which transformed into the imposing figure of the Demon Emperor. The image depicted a majestic figure clad in armor and wielding a longsword. His mere presence caused the air to freeze.

”All Demon Beasts under heaven, heed my command—retreat at once!” Gu Sheng’s voice, augmented by the power of the Devil Emperor’s Heart, rumbled across the battlefield like a grand bell, shaking the very heavens. The Demon Beasts trembled at the sound.

The Demon Emperor—the Great Emperor of the Demon Clan—though long fallen, still radiated unassailable authority. No Demon Beast dared to challenge such power.

Heeding the Demon Emperor’s command, the entire tide of Demon Beasts knelt and submitted, retreating like an ebbing wave.

When the battle ended, the entire Longyun Country erupted into cheers. The people chanted Gu Sheng’s name, hailing him as their savior. Emperor Long Aoyu personally ascended the city wall to present Gu Sheng with an award.

Inside the grand, resplendent palace of Longyun Country, Emperor Long Aoyu sat atop his dragon throne, his fiery gaze fixed on the young man below—Gu Sheng. This youth, through his extraordinary feats in the recent war, had not only saved Longyun Country from calamity but also demonstrated remarkable strength and unparalleled talent.

”Young friend Gu Sheng,” Emperor Long Aoyu finally spoke, his voice carrying an unusual warmth, ”you have rendered exceptional service to Longyun Country. I wish to invite you to join the Imperial Court’s Reverence Division.”

Gu Sheng lowered his head slightly in acknowledgment, but then shook it firmly: ”Your Majesty’s kindness humbles me, yet I still have greater missions to fulfill and cannot remain here for long.”
