The million-zhang-long strand of hair slithered like a water snake, circling the purple flames enveloping the Devouring Heavenly Demon for a long, long time.
Finally, Gu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. "Damn it! For the sake of family, I’ll risk it!"
The million-zhang-long hair plunged straight into the purple flames. At the same time, a million zhang away, Gu Qingfeng had already placed his finger at the root of the strand—ready to sever it at the first sign of danger!
Suddenly, the purple flames licked at the hair.
Snap!
Gu Qingfeng, in his nervousness, instantly cut off the strand.
At the same moment—
Ding!
A system notification chimed.
But there was no follow-up, because Gu Qingfeng had severed the hair.
"It’s family!!" Gu Qingfeng erupted in ecstasy, his entire body shooting forward like a whirlwind, whooshing straight to the purple flames.
He stared at the flames with the intensity of a man beholding a priceless treasure.
First, he retracted his million-zhang-long strand of hair—no point wasting it. At his current level of power, even a single strand of his hair was no weaker than a divine weapon, capable of slicing through mountain ranges with ease.
Slowly, he approached the purple flames.
The Devouring Heavenly Demon was still howling in agony.
Abruptly, Gu Qingfeng reached out his hand.
"Master! Don’t!" The Heart Demon Lord rushed to protect his master, clinging to Gu Qingfeng’s leg in a show of loyalty.
"Master, you can’t just touch those flames—they’ll kill you!"
Of course, the Heart Demon Lord wasn’t truly loyal. He’d be thrilled if Gu Qingfeng dropped dead. But since he had sworn fealty, his own life was tied to his master’s.
"Get lost!" Gu Qingfeng kicked the Heart Demon Lord aside and recklessly reached for the flames.
"This Emperor has dominated the world—how could I fear a mere flicker of fire?"
Under the Heart Demon Lord’s despairing gaze, Gu Qingfeng plunged his entire hand into the purple flames.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Star Extreme Immortal King.
Congratulations! Host has obtained the Star Extreme Demonic Flame!
Gu Qingfeng was instantly overjoyed.
Star Extreme Demonic Flame! The fire of stellar annihilation, kindled by the Star Extreme Dao, an eternal blaze condensed from the burning of countless stars—capable of incinerating the cosmos!
Incredible! Absolutely incredible!
Gu Qingfeng could now truly sense the power of the Star Extreme Demonic Flame. Without exaggeration, if not for the restraining pillar, even a single spark of this flame could reduce the entire Heavenly Demon Realm to ashes in no time!
Which meant—the pillar that suppressed the Star Extreme Demonic Flame, and the chains that resisted its burn, were both treasures!
So, this "family" was called the Star Extreme Immortal King. Such a petty "family" would probably appear if he just cursed at him a couple of times, right?
But what exactly was the Star Extreme Dao?
Gu Qingfeng was puzzled. He had studied the myriad Daos of the Cangming Realm, yet he had never heard of the Star Extreme Dao.
From the Star Extreme Demonic Flame, he could vaguely sense traces of the Celestial Stars Dao, the Annihilation Dao, and several other unknown Daos. It seemed like an amalgamation of many Daos—though that wasn’t quite accurate.
The Star Extreme Dao felt more like the origin of these Daos, as if they were all branches stemming from it.
Because Gu Qingfeng could clearly perceive that the Star Extreme Dao’s rank was higher—even higher than his own Demonic Dao!
As he pondered, the Heart Demon Lord beside him was utterly dumbfounded.
His master… was unharmed?!
His hand was still in the flames, yet he showed no signs of injury?
How was that possible?!
Even a true immortal would perish upon contact, yet Gu Qingfeng—who wasn’t even a loose immortal—was fine?
"Retract!"
Gu Qingfeng commanded, and the eerie Star Extreme Demonic Flame obeyed like a divine decree, docilely flowing into his body.
The Heart Demon Lord nearly popped his eyes out at the sight.
The eternal, unquenchable purple flames… just surrendered like that?!
At the same time, the Devouring Heavenly Demon’s screams abruptly ceased. His madness-filled eyes flickered with a rare hint of confusion.
But the confusion lasted only a moment before he resumed wailing, "Kill me! Please, kill me!"
Gu Qingfeng examined him and realized the Devouring Heavenly Demon had long since lost his mind. Billions of years of torment had turned him into a mindless husk, living only to beg for death.
Gu Qingfeng, ever the compassionate soul, never denied his "family’s" requests. Without hesitation, he activated his Devouring Divine Ability and swallowed the Devouring Heavenly Demon whole.
As expected, devouring the Devouring Heavenly Demon greatly enhanced his Devouring Divine Ability.
From this point onward, the ability evolved into [Devour Heaven and Earth]!
Moreover, his cultivation surged to twenty billion years.
By this measure, roughly ten billion years of cultivation could rival a true immortal.
After fulfilling the Devouring Heavenly Demon’s wish, Gu Qingfeng turned his attention to the black chains and the pillar.
He reached for the black chains first. The moment he touched them, his once-vibrant cultivation instantly stagnated, as if trapped in quicksand—completely immobile.
But he wasn’t concerned. Even without cultivation, his physical body was peerlessly strong.
After a moment’s thought, he declared, "Since you can suppress an immortal’s power, I’ll call you the Immortal-Binding Chains."
He stored the Immortal-Binding Chains away, and his cultivation immediately regained its vitality.
Next, he turned his greedy gaze to the pillar. The moment he touched it, an overwhelming, bone-chilling cold surged forth—so intense it seemed capable of freezing time itself.
Fortunately, the Star Extreme Demonic Flame within him flared to life, unleashing a wave of scorching heat that neutralized the cold.
"Such terrifying frost… I’ll name you the [Nine Heavens Profound Ice, Soul-Freezing, Spirit-Sealing, Frostlight Pillar]."
As he finished naming it, he thought he heard the clanking of chains—probably just his imagination.
"Congratulations, Master! Master has only been in the Heavenly Demon Realm for a little over a month, yet he’s already acquired multiple treasures. Truly, Master is blessed by heaven, a true Child of Fortune!
For this humble servant to follow at your side is the greatest honor, a blessing earned over eight lifetimes!" The ever-perceptive Heart Demon Lord hurried to flatter him.
"If you’ve got nice things to say, keep them coming," Gu Qingfeng replied with practiced humility.
And so, the Heart Demon Lord launched into a ten-thousand-word essay extolling Gu Qingfeng’s virtues.
"Enough. This Emperor values practicality and despises sycophants. Don’t let it happen again (keep it up next time), understood?"
"Master, this servant isn’t flattering you! My admiration for you is like an endless river, unstoppable and uncontainable! Every word comes from the depths of my soul, sincere to the core!" The Heart Demon Lord grew increasingly fervent, like a zealot prostrating before a god.
Gu Qingfeng shot him a displeased glare. "Control yourself."
"Master! My reverence for you is born in the soul, erupts from the heart, and spills from the tongue—it… it cannot be restrained!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
