Thus, Gu Sheng engaged in a breathtaking duel with the lightning in the sky. His figure continuously shuttled through the lightning, every attack brimming with power and majesty, as if a War God were ravaging the world.

As time passed, the lightning in the sky gradually weakened, while Gu Sheng's aura grew ever stronger. He seemed to have merged with this lightning, becoming its master.

Finally, when the last bolt of lightning was dispersed by Gu Sheng, the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, revealing a clear sky.

Gu Sheng stood still and took a deep breath, feeling as if his body had been baptized, becoming purer and more powerful.

"It's finally over..." Gu Sheng murmured to himself. He looked up at the sky with a victorious smile on his face, "I succeeded!"

At this moment, Gu Sheng was no longer the person he used to be. He had successfully broken through the Bitter Sea Realm of the Wheel Sea, stepping into a new realm. The golden sea within his bitter sea rolled endlessly, as if it contained infinite power and mysteries.

And this battle against the Heavenly Tribulation had become a significant turning point on Gu Sheng's path of cultivation, further solidifying his resolve on his journey.

"Hum—"

Just as Gu Sheng was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, a faint hum emanated from his bitter sea. Gu Sheng quickly conducted inner sight into his bitter sea, and saw a golden book slowly emerging in the center of the golden ocean.

"The Daoist Scripture!" Gu Sheng exclaimed. He hadn't expected this mysterious scripture to appear in his bitter sea once more.

The Daoist Scripture was different from before, emitting an even more dazzling golden light, as if it contained deeper principles and power.

Gu Sheng's heart stirred, and he attempted to communicate with the Daoist Scripture. He felt his soul forming a wondrous connection with the book, as though he could perceive the boundless wisdom and power contained within it.

"Oh Daoist Scripture, what secrets do you hide?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, his eyes lit with the spark of exploration. He knew that his path of cultivation was still long, and this Daoist Scripture might become an important guide for his future cultivation.

"Boom—"

A violent rumble suddenly erupted from the direction of the ancient palace, causing the entire sky to tremble. The ancient palace in the sky seemed to have been struck by some force, shaking violently and releasing countless brilliant rays of light. These rays shimmered like a rainbow, coloring the entire sky in a spectrum of hues.

A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Sheng's eyes. He looked up towards the ancient palace, a strong sense of unease rising within him. He sensed powerful auras rapidly approaching, each exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

"It seems major forces have arrived," Gu Sheng murmured to himself, and in a flash, he flew toward the direction of the ancient palace.

At the same time, the sound of tearing through the sky echoed, as dozens of divine rays streaked across the sky, accompanied by the roars of fierce beasts. These beasts were remnants from ancient times, massive in size and imposing in stature. Riding atop the central beast was a cultivator holding a large flag, fluttering in the wind, upon which were written the four characters "Shaking Light Sacred Land."

"Even people from the Shaking Light Sacred Land have come!" Gu Sheng thought in surprise. He hadn't expected such a contest to attract so many forces.

At that moment, another powerful aura descended. The people from the Ji family were equally unyielding, arriving at the ancient palace almost simultaneously with those from the Shaking Light Sacred Land.

The two sides exchanged glances, and it seemed as if sparks were flying in the air. The arrival of these two superpowers made the already tense atmosphere even more charged.

"Hahaha! It seems we came to the right place this time. There are indeed treasures emerging from the Demon Emperor's tomb!" exclaimed an elder from the Shaking Light Sacred Land, his voice booming like a bell, echoing in everyone's ears.

An elder from the Ji family also spoke, "Hmph! If treasures emerge, they belong to those with fate. Our Ji family won't easily give up!"

The words exchanged between the two parties were full of tension, as if a great battle could break out at any moment.

Just as they were at an impasse, the grand doors of the ancient palace suddenly began to open slowly. A mysterious power surged from within, as if it would swallow the entire sky.

The crowd exclaimed in amazement, then rushed into the ancient palace one after another. They all wanted to seize the legendary Daoist Scripture and the treasures left by the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan.

When they opened the Demon Emperor's tomb, they found that the Daoist Scripture was nowhere to be seen, leaving only an empty box lying quietly inside.

"How can this be? Where is the Daoist Scripture?" a disciple from the Shaking Light Sacred Land exclaimed, his face full of disappointment.

At the same time, the heart of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan shot up into the sky as they opened the tomb, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared without a trace.

"Quick, chase it! We can't let it get away!" shouted an elder from the Ji family, and in a flash, he pursued the stream of light.

Just then, a figure moved even faster in pursuit. It was Lin Tianhao!

"Lin Tianhao! How is he here?" Gu Sheng thought in alarm. He hadn't expected his friend to be embroiled in this conflict as well.

Lin Tianhao was cold and aloof by nature, as if he had foreseen all of this. When the heart of the Demon Emperor from the Demon Clan broke through the sky, he pursued it without hesitation. His figure traced a graceful arc in the air, closely following the heart.
