Qian Renxue's Grand Wedding, Puni Awakens!

Martial Soul Hall.

Today, the highest-ranking grand hall was decorated with great solemnity.

An expensive red carpet, hand-stitched with dark gold thread, stretched from the vast white jade plaza outside all the way to the foot of the sacred stairs at the highest point.

The surrounding pillars were entwined with exquisite, dew-kissed flowers.

The flickering light of the eternal lamps cast a magnificent and extraordinary glow over the entire hall.

Qian Daoliu wore a resplendent golden ceremonial robe.

He strode up to the high platform and stood there in person.

As the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu wore a grave and solemn expression today, personally presiding over this world-renowned wedding.

At the start of the red carpet.

Gu Sheng wore a perfectly tailored, pure white slim-fit suit, his posture as straight as a pine.

Beside him, Qian Renxue held his arm.

Today, she wore a heavy, snow-white wedding gown that trailed across the floor.

Beneath the long veil, her stunning face was holy, beautiful, and breathtaking.

The two walked side by side along the long, expensive red carpet.

Surrounding them stood the many elders and deacons of Martial Soul Hall who had come to witness the ceremony.

The crowd surged.

Among the onlookers below the platform, a series of faint sounds began to emerge.

Various whispers spread through the crowd.

"What do you think Her Highness the Saintess sees in this kid?"

A red-robed bishop lowered his voice, whispering to his colleague beside him.

Another deacon shook his head, his tone tinged with contempt.

"Who knows? This Gu Sheng doesn't even have a martial soul; he's a complete commoner."

"He's simply not worthy of Her Highness Qian Renxue."

"Exactly!"

An elder nearby chimed in as well.

"If it weren't for the fact that he caused a heaven-and-earth phenomenon with brilliant golden light and tremors when he awakened at age six..."

"A disturbance so great it alarmed the reclusive Great Elder."

"A useless person like him wouldn't even be qualified to step through the gates of our Martial Soul Hall!"

Although these comments were deliberately lowered, they remained quite clear in the relatively quiet environment.

Every word and sentence reached Gu Sheng's ears without reservation.

Gu Sheng's expression remained unchanged.

Not even a ripple of emotion stirred on his handsome face.

Gu Sheng was completely indifferent to these rumors.

As a transmigrator, he knew far more than these frogs at the bottom of a well.

During that awakening ceremony back then, the heavens and earth had trembled, and phenomena had erupted everywhere.

Yet in the end, no martial soul had manifested before the crowd.

The external testing stele clearly displayed that he was a commoner without a martial soul.

But only Gu Sheng knew the truth.

It was not that he lacked a martial soul, but that the status of this Douluo World was simply too low.

So low that it could not bear the arrival of his martial soul!

During that grand ceremony, he had learned the name of that great martial soul from the depths of his soul.

Puni.

This was a Holy Spirit Type king burdened with the Seven Seals.

It represented absolute, supreme combat power.

Because its status was too high, that existence could not temporarily enter this low-dimensional world.

Thus, the result displayed to the outside world became "no martial soul, a commoner."

It was precisely because of that awakening phenomenon that had alarmed the higher-ups.

Gu Sheng had been admitted into Martial Soul Hall by Qian Daoliu as an exception.

He had logically become Qian Renxue's childhood sweetheart, and the two had been together ever since.

On the high platform.

Qian Daoliu swept his sharp gaze across the crowd below.

The pressure belonging to a Peerless Douluo leaked out only slightly.

The murmurs below ceased abruptly, and everyone immediately clamped their mouths shut.

Qian Daoliu looked at the two holding hands below and sighed inwardly.

For the sake of this relationship, Qian Renxue had withstood the immense pressure of the entire Martial Soul Hall Elder Hall, choosing Gu Sheng without a moment of hesitation.

As for Qian Daoliu himself, because of the tragic events involving Bibi Dong in the past, he had always harbored a sense of guilt toward Qian Renxue.

As long as his granddaughter could be happy, he had ultimately chosen to approve of this marriage.

The wedding proceeded according to the established sequence.

Complex rituals followed one after another.

Just as the two were about to reach the foot of the sacred steps.

Gu Sheng's pace suddenly slowed slightly.

In that instant, his perception was infinitely elevated, piercing through the clouds.

High above the nine heavens, the God Trials of the Divine Realm were beginning!

The inheritance grounds of various gods, including the Sea God, Asura, and the Rakshasa God, were experiencing violent fluctuations.

Vast power from the Divine Realm leaked into the mortal world through the fissures of the God Trials.

Bathed in this leaking divine power.

The strength of the mortal plane was greatly enhanced at this very moment.

The world barriers became tougher, capable of accommodating higher-level existences.

Gu Sheng stopped and looked up.

The opportunity he had waited for so long had finally arrived.

Gu Sheng recited a single word in his heart.

"Come!"

BOOM—!

Without any warning, the previously cloudless sky suddenly erupted with a deafening thunderclap.

The sky above the entire Martial Soul City turned pitch black in an instant.

Thick, ink-like dark clouds gathered at a terrifying speed, forming a massive vortex that blotted out the sun.

Brilliant golden lightning surged wantonly within the vortex, crackling loudly.

Everyone inside the great hall was shocked, looking up at the dome above.

Before they could figure out the situation.

A brilliant seven-colored beam of light shot directly from Gu Sheng's body toward the sky!

This beam was incredibly thick, instantly piercing through the dome of the hall and straight into the vortex deep within the clouds.

Immediately following.

Within that dazzling seven-colored beam, a magnificent phantom spanning the heavens and earth slowly took shape.

It was Holy Spectrum Puni!

Sacred light shone upon the world, and the massive spiritual outline exuded an ancient and supreme aura.

Endless holy light poured down like a physical substance, enveloping the entire Martial Soul City.

Accompanying it was a powerful pressure that descended like the might of heaven.

Thud! Thud!

Inside the hall, the deacons who had been standing felt their legs go weak, and they collapsed to the ground one after another.

The martial souls within them trembled violently.

The flow of soul power in their meridians became sluggish, and they could not mobilize even a fraction.

Within Martial Soul City.

Large swaths of soul masters, regardless of where they were, all knelt uncontrollably the moment they felt this pressure.

The crowd bowed in the direction of the holy light, their faces filled with awe.

In the vast wedding venue, very few people were still able to stand.

Only Qian Daoliu on the high platform and a few senior elders with profound strength could barely manage to maintain their footing.

Qian Daoliu stared at the phantom spanning the heavens, his heart shaken to the extreme.

In his experienced eyes, a light of utter shock flickered.

What kind of martial soul is this?

Everyone's gaze was frozen at the very center where the light converged.

The Puni phantom in mid-air radiated a suffocating and terrifying presence.

Pure holy light circled around it, and the halos of the Seven Seals rotated slowly; each rotation seemed to crush the laws of this world.

That noble posture, transcending all living beings, made every soul master present who prided themselves on their strength feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Gu Sheng stood at the source of the holy light, his posture as straight as a sword.
