Mastering the Immortal King Tribulation

As the sky full of sword energy dispersed, Gu Qingfeng's figure materialized from the void.

Looking at the five people who were on high alert, he let out an arrogant laugh: "Jiejiejie... If you all kneel and beg for mercy now, and then tie up this wench to serve this Emperor in bed, then this Emperor might consider sparing your lives."

Their faces darkened. They had never imagined that even after deploying a Monarch's Weapon, they could do nothing against Gu Qingfeng.

Yuwen Xiong, seeing Gu Qingfeng's arrogant demeanor, was furious, his eyes nearly bursting with rage.

"Gu Qingfeng! What skill is there in always hiding and dodging? If you have any guts, face my spear head-on!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes instantly lit up. If you're talking about that, then this Emperor is wide awake.

"Jiejiejie... I wonder who it was that said earlier, as long as this Emperor doesn't use a Monarch's Weapon, you wouldn't either. Now you've used yours, and yet you demand this Emperor to take a hit head-on. Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of being Monarch's heirs, your skin is really thick. Do you think everyone in the world is your father, all spoiling you?"

A flash of shame and anger crossed the faces of Mo Xinghen and the others, their cheeks feeling hot.

Then, Gu Qingfeng suddenly changed his tone: "However, this Emperor's greatest virtue is spoiling children. Come on, make your move."

"You die!!"

Yuwen Xiong could no longer contain himself. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand tore through the sky, thrusting towards Gu Qingfeng.

Billions of strands of pitch-black lightning descended, illuminating the heavens. The terrifying aura of destruction shattered the very void.

In that instant, the spear tip tore through the sky like thunder. A deafening roar shook the world, mountains and rivers trembled, everyone's eardrums throbbed in pain, even the prodigies watching from outside were no exception.

Facing this terrifying strike, Gu Qingfeng truly did not dodge. Instead, he extended his pale right hand and grasped at the God-Slaying Spear!

Boom!

A tremendous crash rang out.

The tip of the God-Slaying Spear was effortlessly caught in his hand. Simultaneously, a powerful force continuously transmitted from the spear into Gu Qingfeng's body, transforming into his own strength.

Yuwen Xiong's eyes were wide with fury, straining with all his might to pull back the spear, but he couldn't budge it an inch.

Shock!

Unparalleled shock!

Facing a Monarch's Weapon's strike head-on was far more shocking than his previous mysterious disappearances.

That was a Monarch's Weapon! The strongest weapon in the world, capable of piercing anything!

The prodigies watching from outside were already feeling their scalps go numb, stunned and speechless.

A ferocious smile curled at the corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth: "Jiejiejie... This Emperor has agreed to your request and taken your spear strike. Now, shouldn't you agree to this Emperor's request?"

By now, Yuwen Xiong was utterly horrified and beyond listening to Gu Qingfeng's words. He just struggled desperately, trying to sever that grasping hand.

But the once-unstoppable God-Slaying Spear seemed to have met its nemesis. No matter how he tried to unleash its divine power, it was useless.

"Become one with this Emperor! Jiejiejie..."

Amidst Gu Qingfeng's maniacal laughter, a portal suddenly rose from the void behind him. The portal swung open, revealing a bottomless abyss, pitch-black within.

Countless sinister ghostly hands shot out from within, seizing Yuwen Xiong tightly and dragging him inside.

"No!!!"

Bang!

As the portal closed, Yuwen Xiong's screams were abruptly cut off.

Ling Yunxiao and the others instantly paled drastically. They had just been stunned by the scene of Gu Qingfeng withstanding the God-Slaying Spear and hadn't reacted in time.

By the time they did, Yuwen Xiong was already dead.

Gu Qingfeng wore a vicious grin, looking at the panicked group: "This farce should come to an end."

He stepped forward, while the Monarch's heirs retreated step by step.

They were truly panicked now, because their greatest confidence lay in their Monarch's Weapons.

That's why, even when they were no match for Gu Qingfeng, they hadn't been flustered, confident of an easy victory.

But now, their trump card was utterly useless. The enemy could even withstand the God-Slaying Spear head-on. Could such a foe truly be defeated?

At that moment, Ling Yunxiao suddenly spoke: "Everyone, don't be fooled by him and lose your composure. Have you noticed, from start to finish, he only dared to take Yuwen Xiong's attacks head-on. Against the rest of our attacks, he used that bizarre method to dodge.

If my guess is correct, the reason he can withstand the God-Slaying Spear is because of the Primordial Thunder Extreme! The Annihilation Divine Thunder Yuwen Xiong uses also belongs to the thunder attribute!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Thinking carefully, it really seemed to be the case.

From beginning to end, Gu Qingfeng only dared to take Yuwen Xiong's attacks head-on because the power he wielded was thunder-attribute. So, it wasn't Gu Qingfeng who was formidable, but the Primordial Thunder Extreme!

"So, as long as we crack his bizarre disappearing act, we can defeat him!" Ling Yunxiao's voice was firm and resolute, restoring the others' confidence.

"Gather together!"

At Ling Yunxiao's command, the four immediately formed a tight circle, adopting a defensive stance, fearing Gu Qingfeng's elusive sneak attacks.

Thus, a ridiculous scene unfolded. Four Monarch's heirs, each wielding a Monarch's Weapon, who should logically be the dominant side, were now turtling up in defense.

"Gu Qingfeng, see what you can do now? Although we cannot kill you in a short time, you cannot kill us either! Once we find the flaw in your bizarre disappearance, it will be your death!" Mo Xinghen, having regained confidence, sneered.

"The sky clears, the rain stops, and you think you're capable again." Gu Qingfeng sighed with some helplessness: "You don't really think that by defending like this, you can rest easy, do you?"

Their hearts sank upon hearing this, a vague sense of foreboding rising within them.

"Enough, this Emperor is also growing weary. The game of cat and mouse should end."

As Gu Qingfeng spoke, he suddenly spread his hands open. A terrifying tribulation thunder flashed within his grasp.

The moment this tribulation thunder appeared, it was accompanied by an aura of world-ending destruction that spread across the entire area.

Instantly, the heavens changed color. The entire Sinking Void Mountain, and even the entire Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, was enveloped by dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, divine sounds reverberated, painting a scene akin to doomsday.

The prodigies outside exclaimed in shock.

"The sky... has darkened!"

"This aura... it's the Monarch's Tribulation!!"

These words sent shockwaves through everyone present.

The four Monarch's heirs' faces changed drastically, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on the tribulation thunder in Gu Qingfeng's hand, filled with utter disbelief.

"You can actually command the Monarch's Tribulation?!"

"Run!"

Without another word, the few people turned and fled.

What a joke! That was the Monarch's Tribulation! Even a Quasi-Monarch wielding a Monarch's Weapon would face near-certain death—just consider the example of Gu Ruochen—let alone them.

However... after running only a few steps, they crashed into the barrier of the Heaven-Shading Umbrella's seal, instantly dumbfounded.

Such was the irony. Initially, they had mocked Gu Qingfeng for setting up the seal. In the end, they themselves were trapped by it.

"You cannot kill us! We are Monarch's heirs. You have already killed Yuwen Xiong, offending the Double-Brightness Monarch. If you kill us as well, you will offend five Monarchs!

At that time, there will be no place for you in all the heavens and the earth." Mo Xinghen said in a panic.

The haughty inheritor of the Immortal King's legacy backed down completely; after witnessing the Immortal King Tribulation, not a shred of his former arrogance remained.

"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng looked at him with keen interest and asked, "And what, in your opinion, should this Emperor do?"

Mo Xinghen hurriedly replied, "If you release us, we can pretend this never happened. In fact, if the Chongming Immortal King ever seeks your life in the future, we might even be able to lend you some assistance."
