Bang!
That was the sound of air being pierced!
The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor struck again, still using just a single finger, as if Gu Qingfeng wasn’t even worth a second.
However, this finger was entirely different from the previous two.
As the finger extended, a faint silhouette appeared behind him—a towering, colossal figure, as vast as the heavens and earth, filling the entire sky.
The finger moved toward Gu Qingfeng with deliberate slowness, yet it carried an inescapable, unavoidable pressure, as though it spanned the cosmos itself.
In Gu Qingfeng’s eyes, the finger’s shadow grew infinitely larger, closer, evoking the helplessness of an ant beneath a human’s crushing finger.
But that was how others might feel.
For Gu Qingfeng, the stronger the demon, the fiercer the attack, the more exhilarated he became!
Boom!
The finger struck!
Everything around Gu Qingfeng—dust, air, all matter—was annihilated.
Yet he alone remained, like an eternal star, an unquenchable sun, indestructible.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor.
Cultivation +1 billion +1 billion +1 billion +......
Boom—!
Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation exploded!
It surged like a volcanic eruption, skyrocketing!
Soul Condensation Realm, Seventh Heaven!
Soul Condensation Realm, Eighth Heaven!!
Soul Condensation Realm, Ninth Heaven!!!
Peak of the Soul Condensation Realm!!!!
The sheer force of that single finger had propelled Gu Qingfeng straight to the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm, just one step away from condensing a Divine Core and stepping into the Divine Core Realm!
Once that happened, it would be: "A single Divine Core swallowed, my fate mine alone to hold!"
Before Gu Qingfeng could even revel in his joy, he realized—his cultivation was still increasing!
Holy shit!
This aftereffect is insane!
Looks like the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor is determined to fill me to the brim!
Heh heh heh... This feels amazing!
Yet moments later, Gu Qingfeng was dumbfounded. His cultivation had stalled at the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm!
No matter how much power accumulated inside him, his realm refused to advance.
What the hell?
Why isn’t the Divine Core forming?
After a brief contemplation, he found the answer.
Damn it!
Turns out, he didn’t even have the method to condense a Divine Core!
All the techniques he’d learned in the Qing Realm only reached the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm—there was no cultivation method for the Divine Core Realm!
This was bad. What a waste!
Well, not entirely. Even though his realm wasn’t advancing, his cultivation kept growing, meaning his foundation was still deepening.
Guess I need to learn upper realm techniques ASAP. Otherwise, how am I supposed to break through?
As for how to learn them… Gu Qingfeng turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor. A demonic ancestor of this level, even if not human, probably knew a thing or two about human cultivation methods.
Moments later...
The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor withdrew his finger, staring at the unharmed Gu Qingfeng with shock and delight—the look of a hunter who’d stumbled upon rare prey.
"Huh? Why’d you stop? That’s it?" Gu Qingfeng complained.
"Human, you harbor secrets within you. Even when I unleashed power far beyond the Soul Condensation Realm, you still absorbed it. This can’t be explained by mere constitution—no physique can endlessly absorb power."
Gu Qingfeng smirked inwardly. This old bastard’s eyes are sharp. If he knew what a system was, he’d probably have guessed the truth already.
But so what? A mere demon thinks it can challenge me even when I’m playing with my cards on the table?
"Power beyond the Soul Condensation Realm? Aren’t you a Heavenly Being? Come on, show me what true Heavenly Might looks like."
The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor shook his head. "I, too, wish to test your limits. But not now. At this moment, I am fully focused on refining the Heavenly Dao of the Qing Realm. Most of my power is unavailable."
"You’re pretty honest, just outright admitting you can’t use most of your strength right now?"
The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor chuckled. "An ant with a bit of power is still an ant. You can’t change anything. Besides, the true strength of our Sacred Race lies in our flesh!"
As he spoke, his face suddenly twisted. His nose stretched, thickened, lengthened, hardened—transforming into a massive elephant trunk!
Whap!
The trunk lashed out like a whip!
Where it passed, space trembled, matter exploded!
Boom—!
The trunk slammed into Gu Qingfeng’s body.
The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor’s expression shifted instantly. The sensation wasn’t like striking flesh—it was like hitting an immovable divine mountain!
Not only was his trunk repelled, but he could clearly feel that all the immense force behind the strike had been absorbed.
This stunned him. Physical attacks weren’t the same as energy-based ones. Energy could be absorbed, but how could a purely physical strike be devoured too?
This defied all logic!
After the shock passed, greed ignited in the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor’s eyes.
This brat must hold heaven-defying secrets!
Otherwise, how could a mere Soul Condensation Realm weakling repeatedly withstand attacks from a Heavenly Being? Even if he was holding back, the gap between these realms was like the distance between heaven and earth!
I must uncover his secrets!
Right now, the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor felt like luck was truly on his side. First, he’d stumbled upon the Heavenly Dao of a minor realm. Now, he’d discovered this unbelievable mystery. When fortune comes, nothing can stop it!
While the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor was thrilled, Gu Qingfeng was even more excited.
His Indestructible Demon-Dragon Body had advanced again—reaching its ultimate form!
Ultimate Indestructible Demon-Dragon Body!
And his Divine Elephant Body was on the verge of breaking through too. Just a little more, and both physiques would ascend to a higher level!
This feeling of being so close yet not quite there was maddening.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t take it anymore. The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor’s half-hearted attacks were like teasing—like lifting a skirt inch by inch, unbearably slow.
Time to take the initiative!
If he disrupted the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor’s refinement of the Qing Realm’s Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t that free up his full power?
"Imperial Extreme World-Shaking Fist!"
Facing an opponent several major realms above him, Gu Qingfeng went all out from the start.
Under the force of the Imperial Extreme World-Shaking Fist:
His cultivation—erupted!
His soul power—erupted!
His physical strength—erupted!
Threefold assault! Essence, energy, and spirit—all pushed to their absolute limits!
This was the strongest punch Gu Qingfeng could deliver at this moment!
ROAR—!
The phantom forms of a demonic dragon and divine elephant materialized, their combined cry shaking the heavens!
The fist shot forth!
Air shattered layer by layer. Space quaked violently. The entire palace began to crumble.
Faced with this strike, the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor’s eyes flickered with surprise—yet he didn’t move. With a mere flick of his trunk, he met Gu Qingfeng’s ultimate punch head-on.
BOOM—!
The shockwave of their clash instantly obliterated the palace.
Ding!
Divine Elephant Body—advanced!
Indestructible Demon-Dragon Body—advanced!
Detected that both parties can merge and advance. Proceed with fusion?
"Fuse."
Amidst the energy storm, Gu Qingfeng willed his decision.
Ding!
Fusion in progress...
Fusion successful!
Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the [Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant Physique]!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
