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]!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
