Demon Despair Entity

When everyone heard Gu Qingfeng’s response, they were absolutely floored!

Is this even human? This is too much!

We were just casually asking, but who would’ve thought that you actually have one!?

“May I ask... what kind of physique is it?”

Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and replied, “I call it... the Despairing Demonbane Physique.”

“What kind of physique?” The crowd froze, as though they hadn’t heard him clearly.

“What is the Despairing Demonbane Physique? That name way too unique!”

“Ahem.” Gu Qingfeng cleared his throat and continued, “Despairing Demonbane Physique is just the name I gave it. Its true name is... the Devouring Demon Celestial Physique.”

“The Devouring Demon Celestial Physique? You’re calling it a celestial physique? Could it possibly be even stronger than the Immortal Demonic Dragon Physique from earlier?”

“It’s definitely stronger than the Immortal Demonic Dragon Physique. Just look at the order they were introduced—can’t you tell?”

“Wait, does that mean this celestial physique is specifically designed to deal with demons?”

“Exactly.” Gu Qingfeng answered with a perfectly serious expression, lying through his teeth. “The Devouring Demon Celestial Physique is far superior to the Immortal Demonic Dragon Physique. It’s a physique specifically meant to counter demons—practically their ultimate nemesis. With this physique, demons of the same realm wouldn’t even be able to harm a single hair on my head.”

Gu Qingfeng didn’t dare to claim he was invincible against demons; no one would believe that kind of boast. So, he toned it down a bit and limited it to opponents of the same realm.

As for keeping a low profile?

I mean, I already toned it down to “same realm.” That’s low-key enough, right?

Besides, with three different unique physiques revealed so far, he had already achieved something unprecedented. At this point, adding one more hardly mattered.

What Gu Qingfeng couldn’t stand was having overwhelming power but still pretending to be modest and hiding it. That was just boring.

I’m strong. I’m flashy. So what?

If I were at my absolute peak right now, I’d show you all what it means to be so damn arrogant I’d look at you with my nostrils!

What he didn’t expect, however, was that even after humbling himself to “same realm,” these so-called god-realm experts were acting like yokels who’d never seen the world. All of them were completely dumbstruck.

“What! Such a physique exists in this world!?”

“Impossible! I’ve lived for over half a century and never heard of such an absurdly overpowered physique.”

“What’s so impossible about it? Have you ever seen someone who possesses multiple Heaven’s Fate Physiques at the same time?”

“Well, no, I haven’t.”

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng chimed in casually, “If you still don’t believe me, you could just go and catch a few god-realm demons to test it yourself.”

After saying this, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but give himself a mental pat on the back. If they really went ahead and captured god-realm demons for him, that would be fantastic.

Not only would he thoroughly establish his superiority, but he’d also get bonus god-realm demons delivered to his doorstep. Where else could you find a deal as sweet as this?

Hearing Gu Qingfeng speak so confidently, a few members of the crowd started to believe him even more.

From their perspective, Gu Qingfeng had no need to lie about something like this. If he didn’t actually have a Heaven’s Fate Physique, lying about having one might sense. But since he’d already revealed three, there was no need to invent a fourth just to prove himself.

Especially not one so easy to test.

The group soon fell into an intense debate again.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd had a wild thought and blurted out something out of nowhere.

"If this Devouring Immortal Physique is truly as powerful as rumored, doesn’t that mean Fellow Daoist Gu can single-handedly flatten the Ten Thousand Demon Nation? Then why bother setting up a formation?"

The moment this was spoken, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, as if they had just been enlightened. Their fiery gazes turned toward Gu Qingfeng, looking at him as if he were some kind of monster.

Even the ever-calm Dark Emperor couldn’t remain composed upon hearing this, walking over and saying, "Flattening the Ten Thousand Demon Nation may not be realistic. No matter how powerful a physique is, it surely has its limits. If demons surround and attack en masse, the accumulated injuries would likely exceed a certain threshold, and then even Gu Qingfeng might suffer harm. Plus, the ruler of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation has strength far surpassing the peak of the Divine Realm; it wouldn't be easy to confront such power.”

After hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but privately consult his system.

"System, do you have limits?"

"What are limits?"

"Oh, never mind."

At this moment, the Dark Emperor’s tone shifted, looking at Gu Qingfeng with shining eyes. "That being said, Fellow Daoist Gu's Devouring Immortal Physique is undoubtedly formidable, making you a nemesis of demons. If my descendants could possess such a physique, then... even if we lose this time, humanity's hope would still endure forever!"

By this point, even a fool could discern the meaning behind the Dark Emperor’s words.

After all, the greatest threat to humanity right now was the demons, and even the strongest abilities in combat against them paled compared to the Devouring Immortal Physique.

Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but laugh. The Dark Emperor was clearly expressing interest in him. Just as he was about to say, "I’m willing," Wei Guyun, who had been largely ignored up until now, suddenly bellowed in rage.

"You lie! There’s no such thing as a physique specialized against demons! You’re clearly trying to deceive the Dark Emperor!"

Damn it!

Don’t make me kill you at such a joyous moment!

"If you don’t believe me, go capture two Divine Realm demons yourself and test them." Gu Qingfeng responded coldly.

To be honest, had his own strength reached the point where he could do as he pleased, Gu Qingfeng wouldn’t have wasted a single word with Wei Guyun—he would’ve simply ended him.

Wei Guyun sneered, "Hah! The Demon Beasts within the Qing Realm that have reached the Divine Realm are all within the Ten Thousand Demon Nation. If catching one were as easy as catching a sheepdog, why would we be hiding within the Dark Realm?

You know full well this is the case, so you deliberately suggest capturing Divine Realm demons. The Dark Emperor already said he’ll be getting married in three days, yet three days is far too short to capture a Divine Realm-level demon.

It’s obvious! You’re just trying to use this time disparity to deceive the Dark Emperor into marrying you. By the time the truth comes out—when it’s revealed that the Devouring Immortal Physique is fake—it’ll already be too late, won’t it?

Gu Qingfeng, you’ve certainly calculated this well!"

"Ah, what a sharp-tongued fool. Such a shame to have such a mouth. Fellow Daoists, I kindly ask you not to interfere—today I must teach him a lesson."

When someone vilifies you with malicious intent, explanations often prove futile—nothing can quell the negativity. The best solution is to directly resolve the person slandering you.

Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words, a flicker of delight flashed in Wei Guyun’s eyes. He was eagerly hoping for a fight.

As a sword cultivator, his offensive power was considered the best among similar realms. Plus, being at the third stage of the Divine Realm, he was confident that no matter how strong Gu Qingfeng’s physique was, the latter was still a newcomer to the Divine Realm. Crossing realms to challenge someone was something that became progressively harder as one’s cultivation increased.

Wei Guyun felt that victory was within his grasp. This was the perfect opportunity to beat Gu Qingfeng in front of the Dark Emperor, which might even make her reconsider her decision.

"Everyone, stop!"

Before the two could make a move, the Dark Emperor intervened, saying, "It's simple to verify this claim. There's no need for a Divine-level demon; a Dragon Transformation Realm demon will suffice. As it happens, I have a Seven-Colored Mystic Bird under my command, usually used for transportation. It is at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. A Divine-level expert, without using their power, would undoubtedly be unable to block an attack from such a demon."

Without waiting for any responses, the Dark Emperor acted immediately, summoning the Seven-Colored Mystic Bird.

The words Wei Guyun had just said made her harbor a faint doubt. The essence of the Devourer Immortal Physique sounded outrageously implausible—almost like something beyond the bounds of this world.

Of course, her primary reason for proposing this test was to stabilize morale. She was unwilling to let disagreements arise within the Dark Realm just because of her marriage.

After all, they were all fighting for humanity. Faced with the external threat of demons, unity was more important than ever.

In truth, whether the Devourer Immortal Physique was real or not, she had already decided to choose Gu Qingfeng. When weighing one unique physique against three distinct ones, anyone with common sense would know which choice to make.

However, as someone who had never experienced the complexities of love, the Dark Emperor could not have foreseen that matters of the heart are never so simple. Love and hate cannot coexist peacefully.

Moments later, a mystical bird shimmering with seven brilliant colors descended gracefully from the skies.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, would you be willing to give it a try?" the Dark Emperor asked.
