"This Marquis truly dares not descend into the Star River—so what?" Divine Martial Marquis said indifferently.
"Keh keh keh..." Gu Qingfeng burst into laughter. "This Emperor thought you were something impressive, but turns out you're just a pathetic coward who doesn't even dare step into the Star River."
His expression suddenly twisted into a vicious grin, his demonic eyes locking onto Divine Martial Marquis as he sneered, "Then what the hell are you yapping about?"
Divine Martial Marquis frowned slightly. "This is precisely why I despise your Star Demon race. A wretched species like yours shouldn’t even—what?!"
His face abruptly paled as his body flickered like a phantom to the edge of the Star River, his jade-like hand lashing out in a furious grab.
But Gu Qingfeng had already plunged headfirst into the river, sending a towering wave over ten meters high crashing outward.
The spray scattered uncontrollably, and before Divine Martial Marquis could react, droplets of Star River water splattered onto him.
Horror flashed across his face as vast surges of immortal energy erupted from his body like a raging tsunami.
Yet the droplets struck with the weight of falling stars, colliding against his energy with a sizzling hiss.
In the end, Divine Martial Marquis—a Great Luo Golden Immortal—managed to barely withstand the assault.
From within the Star River, Gu Qingfeng’s voice echoed mockingly.
"Pathetic coward, come down here if you’ve got the guts!"
Divine Martial Marquis—
He never imagined Gu Qingfeng would be such a freak. Even the upper currents of the Star River couldn’t harm him. What kind of monster was this?!
Now, he was filled with regret.
In modern terms: he should’ve just captured the bastard from the start instead of posturing. Now, the prey had slipped away, leaving him humiliated.
"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Weren’t you enjoying your tea earlier? Go on, take another sip!" Gu Qingfeng taunted while swimming leisurely in the river.
The mention of tea made Divine Martial Marquis—despite his endless lifespan—burn with shame and fury.
He’d had the chance to seize Gu Qingfeng earlier, yet he’d wasted time brewing tea instead. What kind of lunacy was that?!
"Who are you? How can you swim unscathed in the Star River?!" Divine Martial Marquis suddenly roared. "Are you the reincarnation of the Star Extreme Immortal King?!"
"I’m your damn father!"
"You insolent wretch! Do you truly believe this Marquis can’t deal with you?!"
Divine Martial Marquis snapped. His eyes blazed like twin suns, radiant to the extreme, casting golden light across the entire Star River.
Whoosh!
A blinding beam of light shot forth, searing like a supernova, illuminating the heavens.
It tore straight toward Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression tightened as he swiftly dove deeper, evading the attack.
Yet the beam pierced through the Star River’s waters, relentless in its pursuit—proof of its terrifying power.
Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng moved through the river like a fish in water. Unlike outsiders who had to struggle against its corrosive force, he thrived in it, continuously absorbing Star Extreme Law energy.
With this power, though it didn’t enhance his other abilities, he could manipulate the river’s currents to a small degree.
He summoned waves of Star River water as shields while propelling himself deeper.
After descending hundreds of feet, the beam finally dissipated.
Though unharmed, Gu Qingfeng was shaken. A Great Luo Golden Immortal was on an entirely different level—like a being from another dimension.
Not only could they ignore spatial distance, but they could also pierce the Star River itself.
That beam had felt like a gamma-ray burst annihilating countless stars before finally fading.
But fear wasn’t in Gu Qingfeng’s nature.
He scoffed, "Useless trash. This Emperor stands right in front of you, and you still can’t land a hit. Why even live? A ‘Great Luo Golden Immortal’? More like a pathetic joke."
Divine Martial Marquis’ face darkened. The skies convulsed with thunder, and the very fabric of the cosmos seemed to wail.
Silently, his eyes began gathering energy again—this time far more intensely. Twin golden suns burned within his gaze, though his complexion grew increasingly pale.
Oh shit!
This guy’s lost it!
Gu Qingfeng realized he couldn’t stay. If the Marquis had some secret technique to multiply his power a hundredfold, he’d be doomed. Time to flee—but not without a proper exit.
He sneered, "Mark this day’s grudge—Holy shit!"
Before he could finish, Divine Martial Marquis unleashed his attack.
This beam was several times thicker and more devastating than before—unstoppable in its might.
The moment it struck the river, the waters boiled violently, shaking the heavens and sending stars tumbling from the sky.
Though the river eroded its power, the beam was simply too massive to be fully diminished.
Gu Qingfeng dove frantically, descending thousands of feet, yet the beam—though halved—gained speed, closing in fast.
He swerved, but the attack curved like a homing missile.
Damn it!
With no choice, he summoned the Star Extreme Demonfire, the Immortal-Binding Chains, and the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Soul-Freezing Pillar.
The chains coiled around the beam like serpents, weakening it slightly. Though they couldn’t stop it, they slowed its advance.
Next, he hurled the Star Extreme Demonfire.
Strangely, the flames didn’t extinguish in the river—instead, they erupted like oil meeting fire, expanding wildly. Likely due to their shared origin, the two forces amplified each other.
The explosion was cataclysmic, filling the river with blinding light and the sound of shattering stars.
Yet from the chaos, a hair-thin strand of golden light shot forth—diminished but unyielding.
Gu Qingfeng calmly raised the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Soul-Freezing Pillar. A glacial aura erupted, further weakening the beam before it struck the pillar with a thunderous—
Boom!
With a sound like a bubble bursting, the light in his eyes scattered and vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, a faint mark appeared on the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Frozen Soul Snow Spirit Frostlight Pillar.
Truly, a Great Luo Golden Immortal is fearsome beyond measure.
Even after being weakened by the Star River, and despite the layers of protection from the Star Extreme Demonic Flame, the Immortal-Binding Chains, and the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Frozen Soul Snow Spirit Frostlight Pillar, the attack still managed to leave a trace on the pillar.
One could only imagine—if this had struck land, the Nine Heavens Profound Ice Frozen Soul Snow Spirit Frostlight Pillar would likely have been completely destroyed, unable to withstand such a blow.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
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?
