Boom!
Yuwen Xiong's aura erupted with a deafening roar. Surging blood energy coiled around him like crimson dire dragons, making his imposing manner terrifyingly boundless.
"Gu Qingfeng, today you will undoubtedly die!"
Streaks of black lightning erupted from his body, and his double pupils emitted a bizarre, soul-shaking radiance.
"Annihilating Thunder Spear!"
With a clap of his hands, terrifying black lightning converged and flashed violently in Yuwen Xiong's grasp, ultimately forming a black long spear imbued with an aura of utter annihilation.
Countless black lightning bolts danced and crackled along the spear's length, its presence utterly dreadful.
The moment this spear appeared, Mo Xinghen and the others immediately narrowed their eyes.
They thought to themselves, Yuwen Xiong truly gained no small opportunity deep within the Collapsing Void Mountain, to actually be able to simulate the Dao charm of the Immortal King weapon belonging to the Double Brightness Immortal King through a divine ability.
This Annihilating Thunder Spear was precisely the new divine ability Yuwen Xiong comprehended upon advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It was also thanks to Gu Qingfeng that he had been able to observe up close the Immortal King weapon, the God-Slaying Spear, which possessed the aura of the Double Brightness Immortal King!
Through the God-Slaying Spear and the insights gained from his promotion to Great Luo, he successfully comprehended the Annihilating Thunder Spear.
The reason he emerged later than the others was precisely because he was perfecting this divine ability.
"Die!"
Yuwen Xiong roared, brandishing the spear and thrusting it forward. Its speed had reached an appalling level, arriving before Gu Qingfeng in an instant, seemingly intent on piercing through his body and nailing him dead!
This strike was the most satisfying blow of Yuwen Xiong's life, poured forth with nearly all his strength.
With this single strike, he believed that even the other Immortal King successors, even someone as strong as Ling Yunxiao, would be unable to withstand it!
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, silently lamenting how overly theatrical Yuwen Xiong was, always having to shout out the name of his move before attacking.
However, he could understand. He too had been young once. Back in the modern day playing Fight the Landlord, whenever he held the 'Joker Bomb' in hand, he absolutely had to announce it when playing it; not shouting it out just wouldn't feel satisfying.
Why else do you think it's called a trump card? A trump card is your most satisfying (powerful) card. Can you really not announce it?
For Yuwen Xiong, the Annihilating Thunder Spear was his Joker Bomb!
Facing Yuwen Xiong's Joker Bomb, Gu Qingfeng neither dodged nor avoided it. He merely raised his hand and gently extended two fingers. His fair fingers, devoid of any spell or divine ability, precisely met the tip of the spear.
"Gu Qingfeng! My Annihilating Thunder Spear isn't so easy to receive!"
Seeing Gu Qingfeng attempting to use the same method of concentrating force against a broad surface as last time, Yuwen Xiong burst into wild laughter.
Last time, he had used a palm strike, its power dispersed and relatively weak, vulnerable to that concentrated counter. But this Annihilating Thunder Spear was an imitation of the Immortal King weapon, the God-Slaying Spear, and its power was highly condensed, capable of piercing through anything, indestructible.
Moreover, it contained the Dao of Annihilation, possessing extreme offensive power. A Great Luo Golden Immortal of the same realm wouldn't dare to receive it head-on, otherwise they would be instantly pierced.
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering sound of collision, streaks of black lightning could be seen coiling up Gu Qingfeng's arm.
Yet, they could not harm him in the slightest; instead, they were all transformed into nourishment.
The Annihilating Thunder Spear was thus held at bay by Gu Qingfeng's finger, unable to advance a single inch.
Yuwen Xiong's originally arrogant expression gradually solidified.
"Is this all you have?" Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.
"Impossible!!" Yuwen Xiong cried out in frenzy.
"Then... let's end this here."
As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng exerted a slight force. With a crisp crack, the black long spear imbued with annihilating thunder shattered piece by piece.
And his finger, its momentum unabated, continued straight forward, landing directly on Yuwen Xiong's chest.
A ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Star Extreme Demonic Flame!"
A point of dazzling, extreme violet light erupted from between his fingers.
Boom!
Terrifying violet flames, seemingly capable of incinerating heaven and earth, surged forth, instantly swallowing Yuwen Xiong.
"Ah!!"
Yuwen Xiong was blasted away by the flames, his entire body transformed into a violet humanoid torch, screaming miserably.
Although Gu Qingfeng's Star Extreme Demonic Flame hadn't reached the level of the Star Extreme Immortal King, when unleashed with his current strength, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to withstand.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xinghen and the others exclaimed in shock: "Star Extreme Demonic Flame! How is this possible!"
"Didn't the Star Extreme Immortal King die? How could anyone in this world still be able to use the Star Extreme Demonic Flame!?"
"Could it be... he is the reincarnated body of the Star Extreme Immortal King!?"
A terrifying conjecture surged into their hearts. Though far-fetched, the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
Only the reincarnation of an Immortal King could explain why Gu Qingfeng was so absurdly powerful, and even possessed legendary treasures like the Innate Thunder Extreme.
All these incredible things would seem unbelievable if attributed to an ordinary person. But if an ordinary person's body housed the soul of an Immortal King, then it would all make sense.
One could never overestimate an existence like an Immortal King.
The Star Extreme Immortal King had dominated the Star Ruins for countless eons. As a member of the Star Demon race who cultivated the Star Extreme Law, he was like a fish in water within the starry void. Places others dared not venture in the depths of space, he dared to go. It was entirely possible he could have found a treasure like the Innate Thunder Extreme from within.
Is that reasonable?
It is perfectly reasonable.
"We can't delay any longer, attack together!" Ling Yunxiao commanded.
Their reasoning was simple: regardless of whether Gu Qingfeng was the reincarnated body of the Star Extreme Immortal King or not, he must die!
After all, the fall of the Star Extreme Immortal King was inextricably linked to their own respective Immortal Kings; they were already enemies, so there was no need for further words.
"Even if he truly is the Star Extreme Immortal King, his strength is now greatly diminished. With the five of us Great Luo joining forces, we might not necessarily lose."
As they spoke, they instantly took action. Immortal light surged from their bodies, transforming into rolling waves that extinguished the Star Extreme Demonic Flame on Yuwen Xiong.
Yuwen Xiong was, after all, also an Immortal King successor, an indispensable combat asset.
By now, Yuwen Xiong had already been burned to charcoal, his entire body blackened and charred. However, a Great Luo was ultimately a Great Luo. After the Star Extreme Demonic Flame dissipated, Immortal light flickered over him, and fresh flesh regrew, restoring his human appearance.
Apart from his pale, fearful expression, he seemed largely unharmed. But only Yuwen Xiong himself knew clearly that the Star Extreme Demonic Flame had consumed a significant portion of his origin source.
The extinguishing of the Star Extreme Demonic Flame also boosted Ling Yunxiao and the others' confidence.
The Star Extreme Immortal King must currently be weakened to an extreme point; otherwise, the Star Extreme Demonic Flame would never have been extinguished so easily.
"Attack!" At Ling Yunxiao's command, the five of them instantly assaulted Gu Qingfeng from five different directions.
Ling Yunxiao charged at the forefront.
Swish!
The immortal sword in his hand left its sheath, slashing horizontally through the air. In that instant, forty-eight thousand dazzling sword rays manifested, layer upon layer, like surging tidal waves, crashing towards Gu Qingfeng with an overwhelming force.
He truly lived up to being the strongest among the Immortal King successors. An expert's move immediately revealed his caliber.
Boundless Sword!
With a single strike, he manifested forty-eight thousand sword rays, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, capable of easily annihilating a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the same level. It was the world-suppressing supreme technique passed down by the Heavenly Capital Immortal King.
Simultaneously, the ever-gentle-looking Kong Jian was not slow to act in the slightest.
A brilliant Buddhist radiance rose from his body. As his magic power surged wildly, a massive golden bell materialized before him. Carved upon it were numerous Bodhisattvas and Arhats, their forms solemn and sacred, inviolable.

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."
