Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 663: Chapter 355: Power of the Wheel Sea_2

At this moment, a sudden change occurred! The previously clear sky abruptly became overcast, filled with dark clouds and flashes of lightning, as if the end of the world was imminent!

”Is this... a Heavenly Tribulation?” Gu Sheng thought to himself, his figure retreating rapidly. He had no desire to endure another tribulation, especially now that his body was already battered and bruised, completely incapable of withstanding its power.

Wei Dubu, on the other hand, seized the moment. ”Hahaha! Truly, the heavens are aiding me! Today, not only will I refine you into a pill, but I’ll also take your Treasure for myself!” As he spoke, his figure flickered and appeared before Gu Sheng, attempting to capture him with a palm strike.

Gu Sheng was already prepared. With a thought, he activated the Shadow Concealment Skill, disappearing from sight. Using a secret spatial technique, he escaped to another mountaintop. Looking at the dark clouds and flashing lightning above, he couldn’t help but sigh internally, ”It seems heaven hasn’t abandoned me!”

Yet Wei Dubu pursued relentlessly. Standing at the peak of another mountain and facing Gu Sheng, he taunted, ”Boy, do you think you can escape?” With a flicker, he appeared before Gu Sheng again, throwing out another palm strike in an attempt to seize him.

But Gu Sheng was no longer the helpless lamb he was earlier. He activated the power of his Ancient Sacred Body, and his entire being radiated with golden light, resembling a War God descending upon the mortal realm. With a golden palm, he met Wei Dubu’s attack head-on.

”Boom—” A resounding explosion echoed as both men were forced backward several steps, while the ominous clouds overhead grew thicker, threatening to crush the entire mountain peak!

”Hahaha! Good! Excellent! Outstanding!” Wei Dubu laughed loudly three times. ”I never expected you to possess such formidable strength! But today, you still won’t escape death!” With that, he swung his staff towards Gu Sheng again. Unintimidated, Gu Sheng confronted him once more, and the two began another fierce and breathtaking duel.

At that instant, the dark clouds in the sky became even heavier, seemingly ready to swallow the entire world!

”Not good! This is the sign of a Heavenly Tribulation!” Gu Sheng thought, retreating quickly, trying to escape the perilous area. However, Wei Dubu relentlessly pursued him, sneering, ”Do you think you can run away, boy?” He swung his staff towards Gu Sheng once more.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Tribulation descended, bolts of thunder striking the mountain peak where the two were. ”Boom—boom—boom—” The deafening sound of thunder reverberated across the firmament, as if intending to split the mountain into pieces!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng sighed internally, ”I’m afraid I won’t escape calamity today!” Taking a deep breath, he concentrated all his cultivation power into a single point, bracing himself for the final strike. Simultaneously, he prepared for the worst — if he couldn’t withstand the blow, he was ready to self-detonate to safeguard his soul from irreparable damage.

”Boom—boom—boom—” The final bolt of thunder struck! It resembled a silver dragon descending from the heavens, carrying a devastating amount of energy, fiercely assaulting the mountain peak where both men were!

Wei Dubu’s expression changed drastically. Hastily, he swung his staff to block the strike. But the magnitude of its power was overwhelming! It shattered his Jade Dragon-patterned staff into two pieces and sent him flying hundreds of meters away, landing heavily on the ground, unable to rise!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng’s heart leaped with joy, ”This is my chance!” In a flash, he appeared before Wei Dubu, his palm striking him directly. With golden light radiating from his hand and imbued with the power of the Ancient Sacred Body, the strike landed harshly on Wei Dubu’s chest.

”Boom—” With a thunderous sound, Wei Dubu’s chest was left with a bloody hole! His widened eyes stared at Gu Sheng in disbelief. ”You... you...” Before he could finish his words, he lost consciousness, his lifeless body collapsing to the ground, unmoving.

Looking at Wei Dubu’s fallen body, Gu Sheng exhaled in relief. ”This old scoundrel is finally dealt with,” he thought, sheathing the Mystical Sky Sword before turning to leave, his golden silhouette shining brightly in the sunlight.

Gradually, the dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight returned to bathe the earth, as if peace had been restored. However, Gu Sheng was fully aware that this was only the calm before the storm. Ahead of him lay greater challenges and enemies to face. But he vowed to press on, no matter the difficulties, for he knew that only through relentless effort could he reach further and ascend higher!

”The old bastard is finally finished.” Gu Sheng gasped for breath, feeling a deep exhaustion. He sat cross-legged on the ground, starting to adjust his breathing and recover from his injuries.

Suddenly, Wei Dubu’s corpse vanished, leaving behind only a golden pill suspended in the air.

”Is this... the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill?” Gu Sheng stared in astonishment at the glittering pill, his heart filled with shock. He hadn’t expected that Wei Dubu would pour all his cultivation into this pill; its priceless value was beyond comprehension.

Carefully storing the pill away, Gu Sheng took a deep breath to calm his emotions. This pill would be a vital asset for his future endeavors.

In that moment, a wrathful voice echoed from afar: ”Gu Sheng! How dare you kill my uncle; today, I will make you pay with your blood!”

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a young man with fury on his face charging towards him — Wei Daoyuan, Wei Dubu’s nephew.

”Ha! Want revenge? Let’s see if you have the ability!” Gu Sheng sneered coldly before vanishing from sight.

Wei Daoyuan lunged but hit nothing but air. Enraged, he scanned the surroundings, unable to locate Gu Sheng. He roared with fury, vowing to find him and avenge his uncle.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng had already returned to the Yaochi Holy Land, preparing to refine the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill alongside the Gathering Spirit Immortal Herbs. Sitting cross-legged, he activated his cultivation technique and swallowed both the pill and the herbs. Instantly, a torrent of energy surged into his body, rushing towards the Wheel Sea.

Gu Sheng’s Wheel Sea began churning, like a chaotic ocean whipped into fury by wild, towering waves. As the energy from the pill and herbs poured in, the previously small golden droplet in the sea quickly grew and expanded.

”Boom—boom—boom—” Thunderous, earth-shaking sounds echoed within Gu Sheng’s body, like the primordial chaos ripping apart during the creation of the heavens. His Wheel Sea’s golden waves surged and swelled, layer upon layer, until two immense oceans merged within it. Although they remained mere droplets compared to the vast Wheel Sea, the energy they contained was beyond imagination.

”Ah—” Gu Sheng let out a cry of pain. As his Wheel Sea expanded, the Heavenly Tribulation intensified, hammering relentlessly upon his body. But he gritted his teeth and endured, knowing this was the crucial moment for his breakthrough.

The celestial phenomena not only caught the attention of the Yaochi Holy Land but also stirred the entire Central Continent. Countless gazes turned toward Yaochi’s direction, with people speculating about the sudden and shocking upheaval.

The Yaochi Saintess also sensed the extraordinary energy fluctuations. She strengthened the holy land’s defenses and Shields, playing the role of protector for Gu Sheng. She understood that this was the moment he needed support the most.

Over time, Gu Sheng’s aura grew stronger and stronger. With the nourishment of the pill and herbs, his Ancient Sacred Body became even more radiant. As the golden light flowed around him, he resembled a golden War God slowly rising.

After a fierce struggle, Gu Sheng successfully absorbed and refined all the energy from the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill and the Gathering Spirit Immortal Herbs. Slowly opening his eyes, a brilliant gleam flashed within. He felt as though his entire being had transformed; his body brimmed with endless power.

”Hahaha! I did it!” Gu Sheng laughed loudly, standing up and reveling in the surge of energy within. The golden oceans within his Wheel Sea roared with power, giving him boundless energy. He was now at a whole new level, ready to face the path ahead fearlessly!

At that moment, Wei Daoyuan stormed into the Yaochi Holy Land with a group of men, bristling with hostility: ”Gu Sheng! Come out and meet your death!”

Hearing the commotion, Gu Sheng turned to see the men’s menacing demeanor. He sneered coldly, ”Wei Daoyuan, your uncle’s demise was his own doing; it has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, come and fight me if you dare!”
