With a flash of movement, he appeared before Wei Daoyuan and thrust out a palm! The golden palm, imbued with the power of the Ancient Sacred Body, fiercely slammed towards Wei Daoyuan's chest!

Wei Daoyuan turned pale with shock upon seeing this and hurriedly swung his sword to block. The sheer force of the strike was overwhelming! His sword was sent flying several meters away, and he himself was knocked back several steps before he managed to stabilize his footing!

"You… you've actually grown this powerful!" Wei Daoyuan stared at Gu Sheng, his eyes wide with disbelief! He couldn't fathom how Gu Sheng had advanced to such a level in such a short amount of time!

"Hmph! Do you think your uncle being a Divine Bridge Realm powerhouse of the Wheel Sea secret domain makes him invincible?" Gu Sheng sneered coldly, staring at Wei Daoyuan.

Simultaneously, he activated the power of the Ancient Sacred Body, preparing to deliver a fatal blow!

Suddenly, a drastic change occurred!

The previously clear sky was engulfed by dark clouds, lightning streaked across the heavens! It felt as if the apocalypse was imminent!

"This is… a Heavenly Tribulation?" Gu Sheng and Wei Daoyuan cried out in unison!

Neither of them expected a heavenly tribulation to descend at this moment! This was a phenomenon shrouded in legend!

Normally, such celestial disturbances only occur during breakthroughs to higher realms!

Could it be… was Gu Sheng about to break through?

This thought struck both of them simultaneously!

But they didn't have time to dwell on it now!

The heavenly tribulation had already arrived!

Bolts of lightning crashed down at their position!

"Boom—!" The thunder roared incessantly, as if it threatened to split the entire sky apart!

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and silently lamented, "Today, it seems escape is impossible!"

However, he also understood that this was a critical moment for his breakthrough!

Gathering all his cultivation force at a single point, he prepared to confront the final strike!

At the same time, he resolved to face the worst-case scenario. If he failed to withstand the blow, he would rather self-destruct, ensuring his soul would remain intact.

"Boom—!" The final heavenly strike descended!

Like a gigantic silver dragon from the heavens, it carried earth-shattering, world-destroying power as it barreled toward their position!

Wei Daoyuan panicked at the sight, frantically swinging his sword to defend himself. The impact was so immense it split his sword into two halves!

He spat out blood as he was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to rise!

"This is my chance!" Gu Sheng's heart rejoiced as he realized this was the perfect moment for his breakthrough!

With a flash of movement, he appeared before Wei Daoyuan and struck out with a golden palm!

That golden palm, brimming with the power of the Ancient Sacred Body, mercilessly slammed into Wei Daoyuan's chest!

"Bang—!" With a resounding impact, Wei Daoyuan was sent flying hundreds of meters away, landing heavily on the ground and losing consciousness!

The sky began to clear, as if all had come to an end.

But Gu Sheng knew this was merely the calm before the storm.

He could feel the changes within his body—his breakthrough into a higher realm was imminent!

Thus, he sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusting his breath, healing his injuries, and preparing for the challenges and opportunities to come.

He knew that only through relentless effort could he rise higher and journey further!

Meanwhile, Wei Daoyuan, now powerless, could only watch helplessly as Gu Sheng advanced to a higher realm.

His heart was filled with despair and regret. He knew he had been utterly defeated, crushed beyond measure!

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, seized this moment as the beginning of a new chapter in his life!

In that instant, Gu Sheng seemed to transform into a golden War God, his entire body radiating golden light, his aura soaring like a divine flame.

He felt the surging power within, and his heart brimmed with confidence and anticipation.

Half a month later, Gu Sheng received an invitation from Demon Clan Saint Master Yan Ruyu to venture to the volcanic crater near the Demon Clan territory in East Desolation for an opportunity. The volcanic crater had revealed a grand hall—the burial site of the Demon Clan's last Great Emperor. Three sacred treasures resided within: the Daoist Scripture, the Human Clan's supreme treasure, the Desolate Tower, and the Demon Clan's sentient weapon.

"Gu Sheng, you're here." Demon Clan Saint Master Yan Ruyu's voice flowed like a serene stream. She stood quietly by the crater, waiting.

Gu Sheng took a step forward, appearing like a golden War God descending to earth. His arrival caused the surrounding air to tremble. "Saint Master Yan, the opportunity you spoke of lies beneath this crater?"

Yan Ruyu nodded, "Indeed. Recently, a grand hall has surfaced in the depths of the volcanic crater. It is the burial site of our Demon Clan's last Great Emperor. Among the treasures, the most precious is the Daoist Scripture."

Gu Sheng's gaze sharpened, "If it's the burial site of your Demon Clan's Great Emperor, it should rightfully belong to your Demon Clan. Why invite me, then?"

Yan Ruyu sighed softly, "The Destruction Hall, Shaking Light Sacred Land, and the Ji family of Ancient will… They've all learned of this. Relying solely on the Demon Clan, we cannot safeguard this opportunity."

Gu Sheng smirked coldly, "I see. Then let us face them together."

As they spoke, the outline of the grand hall within the crater grew clearer and clearer. Suddenly, a dark shadow darted past. "Hah, Demon Clan and Human Clan joining hands—it's a laughable spectacle!" It was the Hall Master of Destruction Hall, who had arrived first.

Gu Sheng glanced at him, unperturbed. "Hall Master of Destruction, if you wish to snatch the opportunity, then act directly. There's no need for empty chatter."

"Very well! Today, I'll show you the might of Destruction Hall!" The Hall Master thrust his arm forward, and his subordinates surged into battle.

Simultaneously, experts from Shaking Light Sacred Land and the Ji family began to arrive in succession—a fierce clash was about to erupt.
