"Boom!" The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar. Gu Sheng felt a massive recoil that made him involuntarily retreat several steps. Wu Dewang, however, wasn't in great shape either, his face slightly pale.

"Kid, you've got some skills," Wu Dewang sneered. "But alas, what a pity, you've encountered me, Wu Dewang!"

With that, he once again activated the Big Broken Bowl treasure, launching an attack on Gu Sheng. This time, his strike was fiercer and faster, leaving little room for defense.

Gu Sheng could only muster all his strength to defend himself while looking for an opening to counterattack.

The two engaged in an intense battle within the stone chamber, with each collision producing deafening echoes.

Though Gu Sheng's cultivation was inferior to Wu Dewang's, his indomitable willpower and extraordinary combat talent allowed him to fight Wu Dewang to a stalemate.

But this balance didn't last long. As time passed, Gu Sheng began to feel his energy waning.

His Ancient Sacred Body was powerful, but even it could not withstand prolonged depletion. Meanwhile, Wu Dewang seemed tireless, his onslaught growing increasingly ferocious.

"Bang!" Finally, in one collision, Gu Sheng was struck several steps back by Wu Dewang's palm, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He knew he couldn't hold on much longer—he needed to find a way to escape, or the consequences would be dire.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered his spatial jump secret technique.

With a single thought, his figure vanished and reappeared in another corner of the chamber.

Wu Dewang's attack missed its mark. He froze briefly, evidently surprised by Gu Sheng's unexpected maneuver.

"Trying to escape? Not so fast!" Wu Dewang roared furiously and chased after Gu Sheng once more.

Gu Sheng used the Carefree Ascension Step to flee the stone chamber.

He knew that once he escaped the chamber, he would have a chance to evade Wu Dewang's pursuit.

The two engaged in a thrilling chase through the dark and intricate caves.

Gu Sheng relied on his speed cultivation technique and Invisibility Technique, constantly shifting positions to elude Wu Dewang's tracking.

Wu Dewang, however, utilized his powerful cultivation and sharp senses to pursue relentlessly, gradually closing the distance between them.

Just as Wu Dewang was about to catch up, Gu Sheng suddenly spun around, unleashing the Golden Light Fist toward Wu Dewang while activating vines to entangle him.

Caught off guard, Wu Dewang was pushed back several steps by Gu Sheng's punch, and the vines seized the opportunity to tightly wrap around him.

"Damn brat! You dare ambush me?" Wu Dewang bellowed furiously, struggling with all his might to break free from the vines' restraints.

Gu Sheng seized this chance to deploy the Dream Butterfly Atlas, replicating the Illusion Realm of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, plunging Wu Dewang into a brief daze.

Capitalizing on the moment, Gu Sheng decisively unleashed his ultimate move, the "All Glyph Secret!"

His combat strength soared instantly, and a golden sword light slashed through the air, heading straight for Wu Dewang's throat!

Wu Dewang was panic-stricken. He hadn't expected Gu Sheng to possess such powerful secret techniques or to execute such formidable attacks in such a short span!

He hastily activated the Big Broken Bowl treasure to defend himself, but it was too late!

"Squish!" The golden sword light pierced Wu Dewang's throat, scattering a spray of blood!

Wu Dewang's eyes widened, full of unwillingness and terror. He never imagined Gu Sheng would strike so ruthlessly! His body slowly plummeted to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Gu Sheng exhaled deeply, staring at Wu Dewang's fallen figure.

He had finally defeated this despicable Taoist and reclaimed his spiritual weapons.

He stepped forward, picking up the turquoise dagger and blood-red orb, his heart brimming with joy and satisfaction.

These two spiritual weapons were now his spoils of war and a testament to his strength.

He firmly believed that on his future cultivation path, these weapons would become powerful allies.

The scene shifted to the Demon Emperor's grave.

"Boom—rumble—!"

Five top experts joined forces for a single strike, completely shattering the Demon Emperor's grave. Amid the chaos of flying debris and swirling dust, a brilliant light shot skyward, piercing the clouds.

"That's... the Demon Clan Great Emperor's spiritual weapon!" A gleam of greed flickered in Heaven-Breaking Revered One's eyes.

The spiritual weapon seemed to have a life of its own, whirling and dancing in the air, exuding an aura of majesty and mystique. Its presence seemingly solidified the surrounding atmosphere, captivating everyone present.

"That weapon is mine!" Holy Light Real Person stepped forward, reaching for the spiritual weapon.

Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared in mid-air. Clad in white and ethereal like a celestial maiden, she held a treasure basin in her hands. With a subtle gesture, the spiritual weapon obediently flew into the basin.

"It's her?!" Battle-Marquis Tian exclaimed in shock. "The mysterious woman with the treasure basin!"

The crowd fixed their gaze and confirmed: it truly was her! The renowned enigmatic woman of the Beidou Star Region, notorious for appearing in major mystical realms and collecting priceless treasures, whose true identity remained unknown.

"Hand over the Demon Clan Great Emperor's weapon!" Netherworld Demon King snarled coldly, darting toward the woman.

The woman, as if anticipating this, gave a gentle smile. Her figure vanished instantly, and in the next moment, she appeared a thousand meters away. The Netherworld Demon King's attack missed completely.

"She's set up Dao patterns and Heaven formations!" Green Light Immortal remarked incisively. "This is a trap!"

Indeed, as the Netherworld Demon King turned back, radiant patterns surged from the ground, trapping him within. Thunder rumbled in the sky as if divine punishment was descending.

"Damn it! This is the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Formation!" The Netherworld Demon King roared angrily, struggling with all his might.

But it was too late. The mysterious woman had already disappeared into the horizon with the Demon Clan Great Emperor's spiritual weapon.

The three prominent figures exchanged glances, their eyes tinged with unwillingness.

But they understood that chasing now would be futile.

"Hmph! Lucky woman!" Heaven-Breaking Revered One snorted. "But we have more pressing matters to attend to."

With that, he rushed toward the epicenter of the shattered Demon Emperor grave.

The other four swiftly followed.

Their true purpose there was far beyond obtaining the Demon Clan Great Emperor's spiritual weapon; it was to find the legendary East Desolation Human Clan's ultimate treasure.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng was entangled in a desperate struggle.

Wu Dewang, the overweight Taoist, had been eyeing the three spiritual weapons in his possession with predatory intent.

At the exact moment when the five prominent figures shattered the Demon Emperor grave, Wu Dewang finally made his move.

Activating the Big Broken Bowl treasure, a surge of dark light engulfed the three spiritual weapons in Gu Sheng's hands, swallowing them whole.

Gu Sheng paled in shock, attempting to reclaim the weapons, but it was already too late.

"Haha! Kid, you're still far too green!" Wu Dewang laughed gleefully. "These three spiritual weapons are mine now!"

With that, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and Gu Sheng appeared before him, blocking his path.

"Going somewhere? Not so fast!" Gu Sheng said coldly. "Return my weapons!"

Wu Dewang froze momentarily, then sneered disdainfully. "You think you're someone special, kid? What makes you think you can stop me?"

"How will I know if I don't try?" Gu Sheng's eyes glinted with determination. "I am the holder of the Ancient Sacred Body! Today, I'll show you how formidable I truly am!"

With that, his body radiated golden light, faintly forming the shadow of a colossal golden figure.

He unleashed a fierce punch toward Wu Dewang, the gust tearing the air apart wherever it passed.

"Hmph! Mildly interesting!" Wu Dewang sneered, holding his ground, meeting the strike head-on. "Let's see just how strong your Ancient Sacred Body really is!"

Their attacks collided in mid-air with an earsplitting blast.

Gu Sheng felt a tremendous recoil that forced him backward several steps.

Wu Dewang, however, remained standing firm, unscathed.

"Haha! Kid, your Ancient Sacred Body is nothing special!" Wu Dewang mocked. "What other tricks do you have? Show me!"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing full well his cultivation lagged far behind Wu Dewang's. Reclaiming the spiritual weapons would be no easy task.
