Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Chapter 360: Mysterious Power

In front of the Demon Emperor’s Tomb, an eerie silence loomed. Suddenly, the air rippled, and a mysterious, absolutely flawless woman appeared ahead. She had an enchanting figure and an otherworldly beauty, as if she embodied all the Spiritual Energy in the heavens and earth. At the same time, an indescribable power emanated from her, commanding awe and reverence.

"Buzz—"

From afar, a Nine-headed Qilin Beast pulled an exquisite jade carriage, gliding forward slowly. Seated atop the carriage was none other than the mysterious woman. Her presence seemed to make the entire world lose its brilliance.

Gu Sheng widened his eyes in shock, deeply rattled. He had never encountered such a spectacle before. But at this moment, what concerned him more was his friend Lin Tianhao’s safety.

"Lin Tianhao!" Gu Sheng yelled, his voice echoing across the desolate tomb grounds.

The only responses he received were the sound of the wind and the low growls of the Nine-headed Qilin Beast. Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, sensing that this land was far from ordinary. He tried to move forward, only to discover he was unknowingly returning to the starting point.

"What is going on?" Gu Sheng was secretly alarmed. He attempted to activate his Cultivation Technique; visions of mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, mystical flowers and beasts, and golden surging waves emerged within his Wheel of Life. The overwhelming golden aura seemed as though it could pierce through the sky.

Just then, his vision blurred, as if a mysterious force had dragged him into a poetic and picturesque realm. Here, flowers blossomed and birds sang, streams babbled peacefully—the setting resembled nothing less than an Immortal Realm. The flawless woman stood quietly by a crystal-clear lake, her gaze deep and profound.

"Who are you?" Gu Sheng asked cautiously.

She did not answer, merely offering a slight smile, a smile that seemed to contain endless hidden meaning.

Suddenly, several powerful presences rapidly approached—it was a group of great demons. Upon seeing the woman, they promptly bowed, displaying boundless respect.

"Greetings, my Lady!" one of the great demons said.

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened. The strength of these great demons was unfathomable, yet their deference toward this woman spoke volumes about her high status.

At this moment, Lin Tianhao’s voice suddenly resonated within Gu Sheng’s mind: "Gu Sheng, leave this place immediately! This is not somewhere you should be!" His tone carried traces of pain and struggle.

"Lin Tianhao! Where are you?" Gu Sheng shouted loudly, but the only reply was the sound of the wind and the cold laughter of the great demons.

"Hmph, a mere human dares to trespass in this place. Truly courting death!" one of the great demons sneered.

Gu Sheng’s gaze hardened. He realized his perilous situation but, thinking of his friend’s possible suffering, a surge of intense fighting spirit overcame him. He activated Gale Nine Swords, his form flickering like a gust as he darted among the demons, seeking an opening.

The strength of these great demons far exceeded his expectations; every one of his attacks was effortlessly neutralized. Yet, the more they challenged him, the fiercer Gu Sheng’s resolve grew. His Ancient Sacred Body radiated streams of golden light, unleashing golden palms and fists against the demons. However, he gradually felt his strength waning.

Just then, Lin Tianhao appeared, his entire being exuding powerful demonic energy that sent waves of pressure through the great demons present. His arrival gave Gu Sheng a glimmer of hope.

Yet, he stood firm, shielding his friend with unwavering determination.

Gu Sheng felt deeply moved by his sacrifice. He knew now was not the time for hesitation. Turning resolutely, he prepared to leave this treacherous place.

Just as he was about to depart, the mysterious woman suddenly spoke, "Wait!" Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying an almost magical allure that compelled him to halt.

Gu Sheng turned back and looked toward the mysterious woman.

She parted her red lips ever so slightly and said slowly, "You may leave, but he must stay." After delivering these words, she turned her gaze to Lin Tianhao, a flicker of inexplicable light sparkling in her eyes, as though anticipating something.

Lin Tianhao held her gaze unyieldingly, and the atmosphere between them grew intensely charged.

Gu Sheng found himself caught in the middle, uncertain of what to do. But one thing was crystal clear: no matter what, he could not allow his friend to fall into danger!

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward, shielding Lin Tianhao with his body: "If he stays, I stay; if he leaves, I leave!" His voice held unwavering conviction, as if powered by an invisible force.

The mysterious woman paused momentarily, then broke into a faint, playful smile: "Oh? Are you certain about that choice?" A trace of irresistible authority and confidence laced her words.
