Demon Pu's narrowed eyes radiated a dangerous glint.
He spoke slowly, each word deliberate: "This means... unless you are a god, you stand no chance."
"So, Gu Qingfeng, are you a god?"
Demon Pu wore a confident smile, but his eyes were fixed intently on Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng returned the smile: "I'm your dad."
Demon Pu instantly erupted in rage, veins bulging on his face: "You're asking for death!"
In the next moment, he made his move. He remained rooted to the spot, not engaging in close combat, but instead forming hand seals. A world-destroying aura began to gather in his hands.
"Wait!" Gu Qingfeng quickly shouted.
Demon Pu paused slightly: "What? Begging for mercy? Too late!"
"Beg my *ss! Let me put away the Purple Sun Wine first. Do you even know how expensive this stuff is? If it weren't for Shadow Demon treating me, I wouldn't have bought it."
As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng hurriedly stored the Purple Sun Wine in his Qiankun Ring.
Watching Gu Qingfeng's actions, Demon Pu was now beyond furious: "Die!"
In the next instant, his hand seals were completed, and a vast, overwhelming energy erupted.
A crystal-clear, blood-red dandelion materialized in front of him. With a forceful push of his hands, the dandelion shot forward.
It expanded a hundredfold in the wind, resembling a lotus platform.
The lotus-like dandelion glowed with a sinister crimson light, exuding an overwhelmingly evil and bloody aura as it hurtled toward Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng neither dodged nor evaded. He felt the malevolent wind rushing toward him. Before the dandelion even reached him, its crimson light enveloped the surroundings.
The stone walls and ground around them began to emit smoke, sizzling as they corroded.
Boom!
The blood-red dandelion struck.
An unimaginable torrent of energy engulfed Gu Qingfeng.
The underground palace shook violently, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated.
Destructive energy radiated in all directions, scorching everything in its path. Wherever it touched, matter disintegrated instantly, as if vaporized.
This single attack had hollowed out the underground palace, expanding its size several times over.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by Demon Pu.
Defense +50,000 +50,000 +50,000...
Ding!
Host's defense has reached its limit. Congratulations, host has obtained the Black Dragon Immortal Body (Intermediate)!
The Black Dragon Immortal Body leveled up!?
Gu Qingfeng was ecstatic. Immediately, he felt an immense surge of power flowing through his body, reaching every limb, bone, and cell.
At this moment, his body seemed to undergo an incredible transformation, as if crossing an invisible threshold, achieving a qualitative leap.
Once the transformation was complete, Gu Qingfeng realized his physical strength had reached the early-stage Dragon Transformation level!
It was nearly impossible for anyone below the Dragon Transformation level to break his defense.
This meant that, relying solely on his physical body, he could now contend with early-stage Dragon Transformation experts.
Previously, with the Black Dragon Immortal Body at its initial stage, Gu Qingfeng's physical strength was comparable to a half-step Dragon Transformation grandmaster. Now, after taking a hit from Demon Pu, who was at the peak of Dragon Transformation, he had directly crossed the threshold, reaching the early-stage Dragon Transformation level.
And it only took one hit! Truly worthy of being the strongest below the gods. Demon Pu wasn't lying this time.
If I take a few more hits, I might just ascend to godhood!
"Hahaha..." Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh.
As Gu Qingfeng reveled in his joy, the energy storm that had erupted moments ago began to dissipate. The underground palace started to collapse, with massive boulders and sand raining down like a landslide.
Gu Qingfeng was buried instantly, and he got a mouthful of dirt.
"Ptooey! Ptooey!" He quickly spat out the dirt, then exerted his strength. An unimaginable force surged from within him.
Whoosh!
Gu Qingfeng shot upward like a rocket, his incredibly sturdy head breaking through layers of sand and rock as he soared upward.
Bang!
Like Sun Wukong escaping the Five Elements Mountain, Gu Qingfeng burst out of the ground, sending debris flying in all directions.
Once he was back on the surface, he shouted excitedly, "Demon Pu, hit me again!"
But there was no response.
"Demon Pu?" Gu Qingfeng muttered in confusion, scanning his surroundings. Apart from the ruins, the area was empty, with no sign of Demon Pu.
Gu Qingfeng's expression turned to shock as he looked underground: "Damn, did you get buried? You're at the peak of Dragon Transformation! Get up here!"
After a moment, there was still no response from below.
Gu Qingfeng was about to start digging when he suddenly remembered that he had placed a Soul Tracking Spell on Demon Pu. He quickly activated it to locate Demon Pu.
Then he was dumbfounded.
According to the Soul Tracking Spell, Demon Pu was already ten thousand miles away and still moving rapidly.
"What the hell? Why did he run?"
Did Demon Pu think he killed me with that one hit and just left without looking back?
Is this what they mean by "a real man never looks back at the explosion"?
Who the hell taught him that!
......
Ten thousand miles away, Demon Pu was still running at full speed. His expression was grave, with no trace of the joy one would expect from reaching the peak of Dragon Transformation.
After running for a long time and confirming that Gu Qingfeng wasn't pursuing him, he finally slowed down. He found a hidden cave, set up a formation at the entrance, and finally felt a sense of relief.
Demon Pu sat in silence for a long time before muttering to himself, "So there really are gods in this world? Good thing I ran fast.
But who would have thought that a god would have such a terrible personality and enjoy pretending to be an ordinary person?"
Recalling his earlier attack, Demon Pu still felt a lingering fear.
That strike, at the peak of Dragon Transformation, hadn't even scratched Gu Qingfeng. If he wasn't a god, what was he?
That's why Demon Pu had fled without hesitation.
He was a smart and patient man, which was why he had spent centuries plotting against the Blood Demon. From the moment he met Gu Qingfeng, he had felt something was off.
Throughout their interactions, Gu Qingfeng had always given off the impression that he didn't take Demon Pu seriously at all.
Moreover, the way Gu Qingfeng looked at him was strange—a mix of excitement, curiosity, and joy, as if he were looking at prey.
Demon Pu's suspicions had grown with each encounter, especially after the Blood Demon's soul was destroyed by Gu Qingfeng...
From that moment on, Demon Pu's alarm bells had gone off.
The Blood Demon's soul contained a trace of divine intent. Who but a god could destroy something touched by divinity so easily?
Especially when Gu Qingfeng had allowed him to devour the Blood Demon, Demon Pu's unease had only grown, solidifying his belief that Gu Qingfeng was a god.
In truth, Demon Pu had wanted to run long ago, but his greed for the Devouring Heaven Demon Body and his fear that Gu Qingfeng was bluffing had kept him from doing so.
When he finally decided to test Gu Qingfeng, he chose a long-range attack instead of close combat, just in case he needed to make a quick escape.
And so, when he saw that Gu Qingfeng was unharmed, he didn't hesitate. He fled ten thousand miles without a second thought.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.
