"It seems you're incorrigibly stubborn, truly determined to clash with me?"
The Queen Mother of the West spoke calmly.
"We absolutely must settle this once," Gu Qingfeng replied with a wicked grin.
"This place is unfit for battle. Follow me."
With those words, the Queen Mother of the West vanished into thin air, leaving behind a single command for her subordinates:
"Do not follow. I alone am sufficient."
Gu Qingfeng adored confident women. Without hesitation, he too disappeared, bringing none of his own followers.
The next instant, the two materialized in a desolate wasteland, billions of miles from the sacred grounds of the Jade Pool. Here, even the most cataclysmic battle would never reach the holy land.
The Queen Mother of the West cast a puzzled glance at Gu Qingfeng. "Where are your subordinates?"
Gu Qingfeng mirrored her confusion. "Do you really enjoy having an audience when you do it?"
The Queen Mother froze momentarily before comprehension dawned. Her expression instantly turned icy, her beautiful eyes flashing with fury.
"Gu Qingfeng, for that remark, I will kill you ten thousand times."
Without waiting for a response, she launched her attack, unwilling to endure another vulgar word.
Her delicate fingers curled into a flower-picking gesture, and infinite Dao rhythms swirled at her fingertips, coalescing into a resplendent petal.
With a flick, the petal shot forth, its shadow flickering before transforming into a sky-spanning rain of blossoms.
Billions of petals, radiant yet lethal, surged toward Gu Qingfeng.
At first glance, they seemed harmless—like celebratory confetti—but Gu Qingfeng sensed the threads of Dao principles woven into each one. A single petal could annihilate a Heavenly Venerate without exaggeration.
Only a Heavenly Supreme who had touched the threshold of laws could withstand a handful. But ten? A hundred? A thousand? What of billions?
This strike surpassed the Heavenly Supreme realm. Even a Nine-Star Heavenly Supreme would perish without question.
Instead of fear, Gu Qingfeng felt exhilaration. He longed to test his limits.
Forgoing his ultimate weapon, the Sin of Annihilation, he relied solely on his Chaos Body to endure.
Wisps of chaotic energy billowed from his form—mystical, sublime, as if the universe's most exquisite essence, radiating an aura of eternal indestructibility that illuminated heaven and earth.
In an instant, the chaotic energy clashed with the petal storm. The collision resembled the roar of a million-strong army, shattering metal and stone, churning the skies like a celestial tsunami or a cascade of falling stars.
BOOM!
Endless divine light flared and faded.
The void trembled. The fury of battle surged like a stampede of warhorses. The interplay of chaos and petals dimmed the sun and moon, eclipsing the stars.
Ultimately, the chaotic energy prevailed, grinding every last petal to nothingness.
The Queen Mother of the West stiffened. She hadn’t anticipated Gu Qingfeng’s Chaos Body being this formidable. This strike should have obliterated any Heavenly Supreme, yet it hadn’t even scratched him!
This defied her expectations. She knew Gu Qingfeng’s arrogance stemmed from his immortality. She had imagined their battle as a one-sided slaughter—her casually obliterating him, only for him to reform from the black mist, again and again.
But now, not only had he survived unscathed, he hadn’t even flinched.
Gu Qingfeng blinked in disbelief. "That’s it? Seriously?"
"I haven’t even warmed up yet."
Hmm. Maybe the Queen Mother was still testing him?
Seeing her attack fail, the Queen Mother resolved to unleash her full power. Initially, she had hesitated—her recent breakthrough left her cultivation unstable.
But now, she had no choice. Gu Qingfeng was like a leech. Any sign of weakness would invite endless harassment and escalating humiliation.
Suddenly, her aura erupted. Ethereal immortal music resonated, ancient and harmonious, as if echoing from primordial times in tune with the Great Dao.
Though it was day, the sky darkened abruptly. A radiant full moon ascended—an otherworldly phenomenon conjured by the Queen Mother herself.
Bathed in moonlight, she stood clad in white, her silvered eyes gleaming, her hair dancing like a celestial immortal from the Ninth Heaven.
She levitated gracefully, merging with the moon above.
Gu Qingfeng, meanwhile, stared intently upward, searching for any "weakness" beneath her robes.
"Moonless Radiance!"
At her cry, the luminous moon dissolved—melting like ice cream into silvery liquid that cascaded over her body.
In that moment, she radiated sacred moonlight, divine and untouchable.
BOOM!
The holy radiance poured down like liquid mercury, a celestial waterfall crashing toward Gu Qingfeng with world-shattering force, as if capable of erasing all laws of existence.
"Chaos Shatters All!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes flashed. The mysteries of chaos churned within him as chaotic energy wreathed his form, illuminating the void.
BANG!
The moonlight struck him like waves against a sea cliff—no matter their fury, the rock stood unshaken.
Gradually, the radiance swallowed him whole.
A flicker of triumph crossed the Queen Mother’s eyes—until a voice rang out from within the light.
"Are you done yet? How much longer will you keep testing me?" Gu Qingfeng grumbled impatiently.
What?!
Her heart lurched in shock.
The silver radiance dispersed, revealing Gu Qingfeng—completely unharmed.
"My cultivation might not be supreme, but I’ve forged the Chaos Body. If you keep holding back, don’t blame me for spanking you."
The Queen Mother’s mind blanked. How? She was half-step from the Quasi-Emperor realm, and her full-powered strike hadn’t even dispersed his body!
Legends claimed the Chaos Body could nullify all techniques—was that why Moonless Radiance failed? But historical records never described it as this overpowered. Nullification had limits!
The ancient texts must have been incomplete, distorting the truth over time.
Only physical combat remained!
As she pondered, Gu Qingfeng—long since fed up—shot skyward, his fist the size of a cooking pot aimed straight for her delicate face.
Her gaze turned frosty. A slender hand summoned a moonforged divine sword, and the two clashed in a whirlwind of motion.
Each slash rent the heavens, dazzling beyond measure.
Gu Qingfeng didn’t dodge. His fists met every strike, shattering sword beams with brute force.
Their battle blurred into afterimages, movements too swift for the eye. Only the relentless concussions of their collisions echoed through the void.
Moonlight and chaos intertwined, shaking the firmament, illuminating the world.
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.
