Time seemed to freeze at this very moment! Everyone held their breath, awaiting the final outcome! When the last strike of the heavenly tribulation dissipated into the air, Gu Sheng's figure finally emerged!

He lay on the ground, covered in blood! Yet a victorious smile appeared on his face. "I did it!" he murmured to himself, "I survived the heavenly tribulation!"

The dark clouds in the sky gradually scattered, and sunlight once again bathed the earth. Gu Sheng lay on the ground, basking in the warmth of the sunlight and the beauty of life. He knew he had surpassed a critical hurdle in his life, but countless challenges still lay ahead. Yet, in his heart, he was convinced that as long as he didn't give up, he'd reach greater heights!

"Gu Sheng! Are you alright?" At that moment, a familiar voice sounded by his ear. It was none other than Wei Dubu, who had fled earlier only to return after witnessing Gu Sheng's triumph! Seeing Gu Sheng successfully endure the tribulation, Wei Dubu couldn't help but show a mixture of astonishment and admiration. "I didn't think you could actually survive the heavenly tribulation! The younger generation truly surpasses the old!"

Gu Sheng smiled faintly. "Thank you for your concern, elder. I'm fine." He said as he struggled to his feet. Although his body was still weak, his spirit was immeasurably resolute. "This tribulation has further solidified my Dao Heart. No matter what challenges lie ahead, I will never give up!"

"Good! Since you've safely completed your heavenly tribulation, now… you can become an ingredient for my elixirs!" Wei Dubu's words were as cold as the wind, his gaze filled with greed and ruthlessness.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. "You old bastard, don't even think about it!" he roared. A golden tidal wave surged from his Wheel of Life, transforming into a golden ocean that swept towards Wei Dubu.

"Hmph! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Wei Dubu snorted coldly, swinging his jade-green dragon-patterned staff. A green radiance surged forth to meet the golden ocean.

"Boom——"

The two forces collided violently in the air, producing deafening roars. The golden ocean and green light interwove like two colossal dragons battling fiercely in the heavens.

"Kid, your Sacred Body is indeed powerful, but compared to me, you're still far too lacking!" Wei Dubu sneered, increasing the intensity of his attack in an attempt to suppress Gu Sheng completely.

Gu Sheng knew in his heart that the power of the Wheel Sea Realm was not enough to contend with this elderly fiend. Taking a deep breath, he channeled the strength of the Ancient Sacred Body. His entire body glowed with golden light, resembling a golden War God descending upon the mortal world.

"You old bastard, today I'll show you the true might of the Ancient Sacred Body!" Gu Sheng shouted, striking with a golden palm and throwing golden punches, engaging Wei Dubu in an earth-shattering battle.

Their figures moved rapidly through the air, each clash producing deafening echoes. Though Wei Dubu's cultivation was profound, he began to feel a faint pressure when facing Gu Sheng's Ancient Sacred Body reinforced by the Jie Word Secret.

However, Gu Sheng's cultivation was still shallow. Prolonged combat was draining his strength, making him feel increasingly strained. Meanwhile, Wei Dubu grew fiercer with each exchange, his jade-green dragon-patterned staff slicing through the air with strange trajectories, aiming to overwhelm Gu Sheng in one decisive strike.

"Kid, today is the day you die!" Wei Dubu snarled, his body flickering as he appeared suddenly behind Gu Sheng, striking his staff toward Gu Sheng's back.

Gu Sheng sensed the force rushing from behind but was too late to avoid it. He could only take the attack head-on. "Bang——" A loud impact resounded as Gu Sheng was hit square in the back, spitting a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha! So what if you have the Ancient Sacred Body? You'll still die by my hand!" Wei Dubu laughed wildly, raising his staff for another strike at Gu Sheng.

Enduring the pain, Gu Sheng stood back up, refusing to fall. Summoning his will, he activated the Jie Word Secret, instantly boosting his combat strength. At the same time, he unleashed the Carefree Ascension Step and Gale Nine Swords, skillfully evading and countering Wei Dubu's attacks.

Despite his efforts, the disparity in their power remained. Gu Sheng was pushed to his limits, every exchange making him feel more pressured and his movements gradually less fluid.

"Kid, meet your end!" Wei Dubu seized an opening and swung his staff toward Gu Sheng's chest. If this strike landed, Gu Sheng would undoubtedly perish!

At that critical moment, Gu Sheng suddenly remembered his Grass Vine Demon Soul. With a single thought, massive vines spanning over ten thousand meters emerged from the ground, entangling Wei Dubu's legs. Simultaneously, Gu Sheng executed a spatial leap secret technique, appearing behind Wei Dubu and striking with his palm!

"Bang——"

Wei Dubu was struck in the back, his body lurching forward. However, being a Divine Bridge expert in the Wheel Sea Realm, he steadied himself midair and retaliated with a swing of his staff toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng had already used his spatial leap to evade, appearing high above with the Mystical Sky Sword in hand. The immense power of the Earth-level Low Grade Treasure surged forth, torrents of Sword Qi cascading as he slashed toward Wei Dubu!

This strike seemed as though it would cleave the very heavens! Wei Dubu's expression changed drastically as he hastily raised his staff to block. But Gu Sheng's strike, imbued with the power of the Ancient Sacred Body and the Jie Word Secret, was not so easily stopped!

The Mystical Sky Sword collided with the jade-green dragon-patterned staff, producing an earth-shattering roar! A crack spread along the staff's surface under the Sword Qi's might. Wei Dubu himself was blasted backward hundreds of meters!

Struggling to his feet, Wei Dubu's complexion was pale. He stared at Gu Sheng in disbelief. "You… you still possess such tremendous power?!"

Gu Sheng remained silent, his gaze icy as he raised the Mystical Sky Sword once more, preparing to deliver the final blow!
