Sure enough, as the old man said, the men and horses of Shaking Light Holy Land and Jiang Family were retreating steadily under the crazy attacks of the alien beasts.

The elders and strong men who were usually aloof were as helpless and frightened as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Their magical weapons and supernatural powers were so pale and powerless in front of the alien beasts that they were easily torn apart without even being able to resist.

"Ah——" screams echoed over Primordial Forbidden Zone, each one representing the loss of a life.

In the rain of blood, Gu Sheng saw the desperate eyes and helpless struggles of the monks before they died.

Their corpses fell from the sky like raindrops, piling up in a pool of blood.

Gu Sheng's heart was trembling. Such a scene was so tragic and terrifying that he had never seen before.

He held the Profound Heaven Sword tightly in his hand, as if this was the only way he could find a sense of security.

Earth-grade low-rank The power of the treasure seemed so insignificant at this moment. In the face of the vast disaster, personal power seemed to become insignificant and powerless.

"Is this the price of pursuing power?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, a trace of confusion and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

But soon, his eyes became firm again, "No! I can't just give up! I want to become stronger! I want to protect everything I cherish!"

As if feeling Gu Sheng's determination and fighting spirit, Primordial Saint Body in his body began to boil.

Golden light emanated from him, looking particularly dazzling under the dim sky.

His body became golden, as dazzling as if it were coated with a layer of golden light; his aura also soared to its peak at this moment, as if he was about to trample the whole world under his feet, as domineering as he was leaking out!

"Gale Nine Swords!" Gu Sheng shouted, and the Profound Heaven Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights and slashed towards the alien beast!

This is one of his most powerful sword techniques. Each sword contains the power of wind and the ultimate speed!

As the sword light flashed, several strange beasts were chopped into two pieces!

Such attacks are just a drop in the bucket for the endless herd of alien beasts.

But Gu Sheng had no intention of giving up. He continued to wave the sword in his hand and fight with the strange beasts!

Every flash of sword light represents a battle between life and death!

His speed is getting faster and his sword skills are getting more and more powerful! It's as if he wants to vent all his anger and unwillingness on these strange beasts!

At the same time, he also used Invisibility Technique——Shadow Concealment Art and speed technique——Carefree Immortal Step!

This allows him to move freely among the strange beasts and appear elusive!

Sometimes he appears here to cut off the head of a strange beast, and sometimes he appears there to pierce the heart of a strange beast!

His figure is as elusive as a ghost, and his swordsmanship is as sharp as the storm!

Under such an attack, even powerful alien beasts would be hard-pressed to resist!

The good times did not last long. As time went by and the number of alien beasts continued to increase, Gu Sheng began to feel unable to do what he wanted...

His clothes were soaked with sweat and his breathing became rapid.

"Bang -" a loud noise came, Gu Sheng was hit in the chest by a powerful alien beast, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string.

He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, he felt exhausted and weak like never before... It was as if the whole world was pressing down on him and was extremely heavy.

But he still struggled to stand up, using the sword in his hand to support his body to prevent himself from falling.

Because he knows that once Dao Yi falls down, he will never get up again... so he must persevere!

At this moment, the crazy old man suddenly appeared next to Gu Sheng. He stretched out his palm and patted Gu Sheng's shoulder gently. "Boy, that's good! It's not easy to persist until now! Leave it to me next!"

After saying that, the old man turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the group of strange beasts!

His figure shuttles freely among the strange beasts, and his palm skills are as fast as thunder!

Every time he takes a shot, a strange beast falls... as if he is the master of this battlefield, so domineering!

Gu Sheng Looking at the old man's back, a warm current surged in his heart... He knew that he had been saved.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the old man's strength!

He has never seen such a powerful existence... As if he is the spokesperson of this world, omnipotent!

Just when Gu Sheng thought everything had settled, the loud noise came to mind again.

"Boom!"

A loud noise like the earth was shattering echoed in Primordial Forbidden Zone, as if the whole world was shaking. Gu Sheng and Old Madman were like two streams of light, flying out of the mountain forest filled with blood and roars of alien beasts. Behind them were the corpses of countless alien beasts and the dilapidated forest.

Old Madman's figure is erratic, and every step he takes seems to leave mysterious lines in the void. These lines are shining with a deep light, as if they contain some kind of truth of heaven and earth, and they seem like ancient runes telling unknown secrets. His movements seemed random, but every time he made a move, a powerful beast fell. Its strength was unfathomable and breathtaking.

"Senior, your strength is really amazing!" Gu Sheng followed closely behind Old Madman, witnessing all this, his heart was filled with shock.

Old Madman smiled without looking back, with a hint of madness and unruliness in his voice. "Little guy, where are you? The real power is beyond your imagination."

As they spoke, they had left the bloody mountain forest and arrived in a relatively quiet valley.

At this time, Eastern Wasteland's major forces were already shaken. The changes that occurred in Primordial Forbidden Zone were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The senior executives of Shaking Light Holy Land and Jiang Family dispatched one after another to investigate in person.

"Bronze Giant Coffin appears again!" The news spread quickly among Eastern Wasteland as if it had wings.

Gu Sheng and Old Madman took a short rest in the valley, and then they heard the news that shocked Eastern Wasteland.

"Bronze Giant Coffin?" Gu Sheng frowned, "Isn't that the mysterious coffin I saw in Primordial Forbidden Zone before?"

Old Madman Hearing this, a strange light flashed in his eyes. "That coffin is not simple..."

At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew towards my face. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a woman in green clothes floating over, it was Linghu Qingwan.

"Gu Sheng, you're finally out!" Linghu Qingwan saw a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Miss Qingwan, why are you here?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

Linghu Qingwan said solemnly, "Gu Sheng, the news that you took Sacred Fruit before has been spread. Now, you may have fallen into unknown danger."

Gu Sheng Hearing this, his heart sank. He had indeed taken a mysterious Sacred Fruit before, which greatly increased his strength, but he did not expect that it would also bring him a potential crisis.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air in the distance. Gu Sheng and the others looked up, only to see several Dao Body shadows flying towards them, and they were clearly Shaking Light Holy Land's people.

"Gu Sheng, come with us." The leader, a middle-aged man, said coldly, "We need you to help us enter Primordial Forbidden Zone to pick the holy medicine."

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that Shaking Light Holy Land wanted to take advantage of his special physique. He glanced at Old Madman and Linghu Qingwan beside him, took a deep breath, and nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Soon, the three parties gathered outside Primordial Forbidden Zone again. In addition to Shaking Light Holy Land and Jiang Family, some other powerful forces have also joined in. Their trip had only one purpose - to go deep into the forbidden area and pick the legendary holy medicine.

"Gu Sheng, this operation is very dangerous, you must be careful." Old Madman warned Gu Sheng before leaving.

Gu Sheng nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes. "Senior, don't worry, I will be careful."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of Primordial Forbidden Zone. At this moment, he secretly expected that this operation would bring him opportunities and the chance to change his destiny.

As everyone goes deeper, the strange beasts in Primordial Forbidden Zone become more and more powerful. Gu Sheng is like a sharp sword, no matter what obstacles it encounters, it can overcome obstacles and move forward bravely.

Come to the core area of Primordial Forbidden Zone.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mysterious door of Primordial Forbidden Zone slowly opened, revealing a desolate and ancient land. The monks from the three forces Shaking Light Holy Land, Jiang Family, and Ji Family resolutely stepped into this cursed land with the desire for the magic medicine.

"Hiss-"

The cold wind blows from all directions, as if it carries the breath of death, making people shudder. The monks were tightly wrapped in clothes, but they still could not resist the biting cold.

"Is this Primordial Forbidden Zone?" Gu Sheng looked around and saw lush vegetation, but no trace of life, and he couldn't help but feel wary.

"Yes, this is the legendary Life Forbidden Zone." An elder of Shaking Light Holy Land said in a deep voice, "Everyone should be careful. It is said that many senior masters have died here."

One of the Jiang Family's knights snorted disdainfully, "What are you afraid of? With so many of us, can't we still deal with some lonely ghosts?"

"Don't be careless." An old man from the Ji Family reminded, "Since Primordial Forbidden Zone can be called Life Forbidden Zone, there must be something weird about it."

Everyone continued to move forward, but found that the source of divine power was imprisoned by a mysterious force and could not use magical powers. This made them panic, but at the same time, it also strengthened their determination to find the magic medicine.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a monk screamed and fell to the ground. Everyone looked at him and saw that his body was aging rapidly and his vitality disappeared in just a few seconds.

"Curse! This is the curse of Primordial Forbidden Zone!" Someone shouted in horror.

There was a commotion in the team, but Gu Sheng remained calm. He found that his Primordial Saint Body seemed to be able to resist this curse force, and Life Spring and Bitter Sea were not completely dried up. This gave him a sense of confidence.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Gu Sheng said loudly, "We must move on and find a way to lift the curse."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They rode the beast and continued to climb towards the nine-seat Sacred Mountain. As they went deeper into the forbidden area, they discovered more and more white skeletons crawling out of the abyss. These skeletons exuded a gloomy aura, making people's hair stand on end.

"These skeletons... are they of people from six thousand years ago?" someone said with a trembling voice.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, and he thought of Old Madman. Could these bones be Old Madman's classmates and old friends? He took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and led everyone to move forward.

In the process of climbing Sacred Mountain, they encountered various strange phenomena and dangerous creatures. But Gu Sheng relies on Primordial Saint Body's special abilities and extraordinary wisdom to save danger time and time again. His golden palms and golden fists can always exert amazing power at critical moments, making the enemy intimidated.

"Gu Sheng! You are indeed extraordinary!" A knight from the Jiang Family said through gritted teeth, "I will definitely fight you after we leave the forbidden area!"

Gu Sheng glanced at him coldly. "I'll be with you anytime."

During the climb, they also discovered many precious elixirs, such as Dragon Tongue Grass and Jade Lotus. But these are not their goals. They must move on to find the magic medicine that can lift the curse.

After going through all kinds of hardships, they arrived at the top of the nine Sacred Mountain mountains. Here, they discovered a mysterious stone platform on which was placed a magical medicine that exuded a strong breath of life.

"Is this the magic medicine we are looking for?" someone shouted excitedly.

At this moment, a powerful evil aura fell from the sky and enveloped the entire mountain top. A gloomy voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Those who trespass on forbidden areas will die!"

"No! It's the guardian of the forbidden area!" Gu Sheng reminded loudly, "Everyone, be careful!"

A thrilling battle ensued. Gu Sheng relied on the power and powerful skills of Primordial Saint Body to start a fierce battle with the guardian. His golden palms and golden fists drew dazzling golden lights in the air, colliding fiercely with the guardian's dark power.

"Hulala-"

The cold wind blew from the Desolate Antiquity abyss, bringing with it a chilling chill. Under the abyss, there are piles of bones, like the remains of an ancient battlefield, or like a huge tomb, where the bones of countless heroes are buried.

"These bones... could they be related to the legendary Bronze Giant Coffin?" An elder of Shaking Light Holy Land stared at the abyss, frowning.

"Yes, it is said that this Bronze Giant Coffin is inextricably linked to the demise of the ancient Immortal Gate Holy Land." An old man from the Jiang Family said, with deep fear in his tone.

The three forces gathered beside the abyss, all focusing on the bones. The purpose of their trip was to climb the nine Sacred Mountain and pick the magic medicine. The sight in front of them filled them with fear, and the task became extremely difficult.

"I think we might as well make use of Gu Sheng's special physique and let him help us." Jiang Hanzhong, the elder of the Jiang Family, suddenly suggested and turned to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was brought to the three elders, and his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Huang Miaoyin, Gu Xiaojiang, Mo Buwen and others all cast surprised glances. Although they knew that Gu Sheng had taken the magic medicine and had the ability to resist the curse, they did not expect that he would be pushed to the forefront at this time.

"Gu Sheng, are you willing to help us board Sacred Mountain to pick the magic medicine?" Jiang Hanzhong looked at Gu Sheng with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
