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]!
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. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
