The massive black dog had glossy fur, a pair of enormous ox horns atop its head, and nine thick tails swaying behind it—a truly ferocious sight.
When Gu Qingfeng saw the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor in this form, his eyes gleamed with excitement: "An ancient mythical beast, the Nine Nether Ao!
Legends say the Nine Nether Ao is a savage creature that appears only once in a million years, so vicious that even true dragons and phoenixes are nothing more than its prey.
With such a powerful family member aiding me, this emperor shall ascend to the Heavenly Emperor realm today!"
"Die! Roar—!"
Suddenly, the Nine Nether Ao let out a deafening roar, its nine tails whipping violently as they shot forward.
The tails transformed into nine true dragons, their ferocious assault threatening to tear apart the Emperor's Path.
In an instant, the nine dragons clashed with seven sinister black pythons.
Watching the majestic dragons, Gu Qingfeng hastily withdrew ninety-nine percent of the malevolent energy from the pythons, fearing they might kill the dragons.
Boom—!
The black pythons were instantly obliterated by the dragons, which then surged toward Gu Qingfeng.
Though his expression remained calm, Gu Qingfeng was inwardly ecstatic as he boldly met the attack head-on.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor.
Path of the Nine Nethers +1,000,000 +1,000,000 +1,000,000......
Ding!
Congratulations, Host. The Demon Path has broken through its limits, entering the Supreme Domain.
"Hehehe... At last, I've truly become a Heavenly Emperor!" Gu Qingfeng could hardly contain his excitement. After years of relentless effort, he had finally stepped into the realm of a Heavenly Emperor!
The Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor, seeing Gu Qingfeng unharmed, flashed a trace of gloom in his eyes. Abruptly, he opened his maw, gathering a terrifying energy that condensed into a black-hole-like sphere.
Boom!
The black hole sphere shot toward Gu Qingfeng like lightning, swallowing him whole in an instant.
Another surge of attributes flooded him, making him feel the long-lost warmth of family—a comforting embrace that was utterly intoxicating.
When the light faded, Gu Qingfeng emerged unscathed.
But the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor was nowhere to be seen.
"Ran away?" Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, surprised by his opponent's cowardice, though he didn't dwell on it.
My family and I are connected heart and soul. Even across billions of miles, we will reunite in the end.
Having attained the Heavenly Emperor realm, Gu Qingfeng saw no reason to linger in the Endless Abyss.
Now, it was time for a greater challenge—facing his peak self.
......
A day later, Gu Qingfeng left the Endless Abyss and ventured deeper into the Emperor's Path.
By now, he had reached the latter half of the path, where the surroundings grew increasingly dark and desolate. There was no light, no sound, no objects—not even family. Not a single soul could be seen.
Walking here felt like stepping into the void of a black hole, where darkness was the only constant.
Even with his Golden Eye of Truth, visibility dwindled further.
Gradually, the darkness seemed to flow like water. With every step, ripples spread beneath his feet.
Gu Qingfeng's figure was completely swallowed by the shadows, vanishing without a trace.
Then...
A sound emerged from the darkness.
Footsteps!
But they didn’t come from Gu Qingfeng—they echoed from the depths of the abyss, as though something was approaching.
Gu Qingfeng understood. Those footsteps must belong to his own projection.
The laws of this segment of the Emperor's Path were peculiar. Every traveler seemed to walk the same road, yet in truth, each had their own separate path.
The process of being consumed by darkness was likely the manifestation of one's peak self.
As he pondered, the footsteps grew louder. Soon, a figure appeared before him.
A perfect replica of himself—identical in appearance, demeanor, and aura. The same noble grace, the same towering stature, the same arrogant defiance.
Staring at his mirror image, Gu Qingfeng's expression turned grave.
The hardest enemy to defeat is oneself—those words held undeniable truth.
He could clearly sense the overwhelming power radiating from the projection. Whether it was the Malevolence, the Demon Path, or the Chaos Body, everything matched his own.
Malevolence rivaling a Heavenly Emperor.
The Demon Path pushed to its absolute limit.
A perfected Chaos Body.
The projection possessed everything Gu Qingfeng had—except the system.
Suddenly!
The projection moved, its steps shaking the earth like an unyielding divine mountain. The heavens trembled, the earth split, as vast demonic energy surged forth. Three thousand strands of chaos descended, and seven colossal black pythons materialized—an all-out assault from the very start.
With the eruption of these three forces, the world turned upside down. The very fabric of existence groaned as if on the verge of annihilation.
Faced with such overwhelming might, Gu Qingfeng grew even more solemn. How could he fight an opponent of equal strength?
Yet he refused to yield without a struggle. He had to try.
With a deep breath, Gu Qingfeng unleashed his full power—the Demon Path, the Chaos Body, and the Malevolence erupted in unison.
The powerful auras emanating from the two figures clashed in the void, evenly matched, creating a visible dividing line in the air.
In terms of sheer presence, neither held an advantage over the other.
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to strike first, the projection underwent a bizarre and unsettling transformation.
"Keh keh keh..."
A spine-chilling laugh escaped the projection's lips.
Its once clear black-and-white eyes were instantly veiled in a thick, blood-red hue, while its fair and handsome face twisted into a grotesque, terrifying visage. An endless surge of demonic energy erupted from its body, blazing like infernal flames.
Suddenly, the projection crouched low, its hands and feet touching the ground. A series of sickening cracks echoed as its bones contorted and expanded, muscles rupturing and regenerating, until its entire body was encased in a layer of crimson flesh.
Its nails elongated into savage, beast-like claws—pale and unyielding.
Its spine writhed and stretched unnaturally, bony spikes bursting from between the vertebrae, piercing through flesh to jut out into the open air.
But that wasn’t all. Even its small canine teeth sharpened and elongated, extending past its chin, while the rest of its teeth warped into jagged, serrated fangs.
The grotesquely enlarged fangs forced its mouth to split at the sides, revealing raw, bloody flesh. Yet it didn’t tear completely—countless thin strands of sinew stretched to their limit, barely holding the mangled edges together.
Drip... drip...
Thick drool spilled from its maw, sizzling as it hit the darkness below, corroding whatever it touched.
The demonic energy surrounding it twisted into the form of a monstrous beast, wrapping the projection in its ghastly embrace.
At this moment, the projection no longer resembled anything human—it was a nightmarish abomination, as though clawed its way out from the abyss.
Gu Qingfeng stared in utter disbelief.
The hell is this?!
Isn’t this supposed to be an exact copy of me?!
Why the hell is my projection not even human?!
"Cheating! This is outright cheating! When the hell did I ever learn such a disgusting technique?!
You’re deliberately defiling my image!
Who’s in charge of the fifth trial?! Get your ass out here!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person!

"Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.
