"Heh heh heh... You think you can just act like nothing happened? How dare you have the nerve? And 'lend a hand'? The Vast Illumination Immortal King is my family, since when do I need your help?"
Gu Qingfeng's face was twisted in a fierce grin. Then, with a sudden motion, he hurled the Immortal King's Tribulation in his hand.
Boom!
The world-annihilating thunder seemed to ignore time and space, crashing viciously towards Mo Xinghen.
Mo Xinghen was scared out of his wits, feeling death upon him.
Seeing this, the others turned and fled, putting distance between themselves and Mo Xinghen.
"You!"
Mo Xinghen had no time for anything else. He could only desperately summon the Void Heaven Cauldron to resist.
However, he was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Under his control, the Void Heaven Cauldron couldn't unleash its true power.
It didn't even block the attack for a ten-thousandth of a second before being sent flying. Then, the undiminished force of the Immortal King's Tribulation struck Mo Xinghen's body.
A piercing, wretched scream instantly rang out.
When the lightning dissipated, a charred, unrecognizable figure lay sprawled on the ground, twitching incessantly.
Mo Xinghen was not dead, because Gu Qingfeng had no intention of letting him off so easily.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the others sank to the bottom. Faced with the terrifying Immortal King's Tribulation, even holding Immortal King weapons, they couldn't muster the slightest will to resist.
"Mo Xinghen, if you want to beg for mercy, you need the right attitude. Kowtow first, then we'll talk."
The charcoal-like Mo Xinghen struggled to his feet. Without another word, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, thud, thud, thud, chunks of his carbonized flesh constantly falling off.
Having personally experienced the horror of the Immortal King's Tribulation, he was utterly terrified. He didn't want to die. He was an Immortal King's heir, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, with a bright future ahead. He couldn't die like this.
"Great Emperor, spare me! I was blind! Please spare my life! I am an Immortal King's heir, I can be useful! I am willing to serve you as my master!"
"Heh heh heh..." Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly, turning his head to look at the others with a savage grin. "And what about you?"
The expressions of Ling Yunxiao and the others instantly turned ugly.
Then, a thud was heard.
It was Kong Jian kneeling on the ground, holding up the Buddha's Heart Lamp with both hands. "Great Emperor, you are a living Buddha! This humble monk wishes to offer the Buddha's Heart Lamp and hopes to take refuge under your guidance."
Ling Yunxiao: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
"Mo Xinghen, look at his sincerity, then look at you!" Gu Qingfeng said disapprovingly.
Mo Xinghen quickly reacted, respectfully presenting the Void Heaven Cauldron and begging for mercy again.
Ling Yunxiao's face, standing to the side, had already turned extremely grim. He shouted, "You fools! Do you really think he'll let you go just because you beg for mercy?"
"Correct. It seems there's still one sensible person among you. This Emperor indeed will not let you go. Oh, except for Jiang Li.
Except for Jiang Li, all of you must die!
So, Jiang Li, are you moved? Touched?" Gu Qingfeng sneered.
Jiang Li: "..."
Thank you so bloody much!
"Gu Qingfeng, even if I die, I will never become your dual cultivation furnace!"
Compared to the two grown men, Kong Jian and Mo Xinghen, Jiang Li still had some backbone.
"Heh heh heh... This Emperor can give you a chance. Whoever can capture Jiang Li and bring her to me, I might consider sparing their life. The opportunity is limited, only one spot available."
Swish!
Several pairs of eyes instantly focused on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li panicked. "You... what are you thinking of doing! This is a trick to divide us!"
"Amitabha. Benefactor Jiang, to be able to cultivate by the Great Emperor's side is your good fortune." Kong Jian was the first to act, directly making a move against Jiang Li.
The Buddha's Heart Lamp shone brightly, shooting out a beam of light.
Jiang Li's face darkened. She mustered her magic power, pouring it into the Seven-feather Fan, continuously fanning out colorful immortal light to counter the attack.
She could barely hold her own against one person. But then Mo Xinghen also joined the fray, disregarding his injuries, desperately driving the Void Heaven Cauldron in an attempt to suppress Jiang Li.
The prodigies watching from outside were stunned. They never expected the situation on the field to turn out like this.
Five Immortal King heirs, holding five Immortal King weapons, yet being counter-killed by a single person. Do you even know how to fight?
Gu Qingfeng watched this scene with great interest, his inner mischievous delight satisfied.
While the three were locked in fierce combat, Ling Yunxiao, who had remained inactive until now, suddenly made his move. Swinging the Heavenly Capital Sword in his hand, with a burst of sword energy, he forcefully pushed aside Kong Jian and Mo Xinghen, successfully rescuing Jiang Li.
Seeing Ling Yunxiao come to her aid, a flicker of gratitude immediately appeared in Jiang Li's eyes. But the next second, a shocking change occurred.
Ling Yunxiao raised the Heavenly Capital Sword once again and, taking advantage of Jiang Li's unpreparedness, used it to flick the Seven-feather Fan out of her hand. Then, a golden, gleaming rope shot out from his sleeve, binding Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was greatly alarmed. "Ling Yunxiao! What are you doing?!"
Ling Yunxiao didn't even acknowledge her. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Gu Qingfeng and said, "Great Emperor, I have fulfilled the task!"
"Heh heh heh..." Gu Qingfeng couldn't contain himself, throwing his head back and laughing wildly. "Interesting, truly interesting! You've done well."
Ling Yunxiao continued, "Great Emperor, I hope you will honor your promise. It was indeed our fault before, opposing you, but that was truly because we could not defy our masters' orders. With your ability to control the Immortal King's Tribulation, my master will surely reconsider his relationship with you. In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
You and my master can join forces, combining your strengths to unify the entire Sixth Star Ruin."
Ling Yunxiao spoke reasonably and convincingly, and what he said was indeed true. Since Gu Qingfeng had already displayed such formidable power and was so difficult to kill, it would be better to ally with him than to remain enemies.
At that time, with the Heavenly Capital Immortal King and Gu Ruochen supporting him from behind, Gu Qingfeng could form the most powerful force in the Sixth Star Ruin.
However, unfortunately, while Ling Yunxiao's idea was good, he underestimated the extent of Gu Qingfeng's arrogance.
"Join forces with the Heavenly Capital Immortal King? Is he even worthy?!"
Ling Yunxiao's expression changed instantly. "Great Emperor, you may not be aware, but my master's strength is undoubtedly the foremost among all the Immortal Kings. You and..."
"Foremost? So what?" Gu Qingfeng said lightly.
"He is the strongest Immortal King..."
The strongest Immortal King, so what? He's nothing but a clay chicken and a pottery dog. In all the heavens above and the earth below, who has the qualifications to stand by this Emperor's side?
Ling Yunxiao never imagined that Gu Qingfeng would be so arrogant as to not even put the Heavenly Capital Immortal King in his eyes.
"But..."
"You talk too much. Just go and die."
Boom——!
The Immortal King's Tribulation in Gu Qingfeng's hand erupted with a burst of intense light, carrying an aura of heaven-and-earth destruction as it viciously blasted towards Ling Yunxiao.
Poor Ling Yunxiao didn't even have time to scream before being struck dead on the spot.
After he died, Gu Qingfeng didn't waste the body. While the corpse was still warm and the magic power hadn't dissipated, he opened the Gate of the Netherworld and devoured it.
Witnessing this, Kong Jian and Mo Xinghen were heartbroken and terrified. But no matter how afraid they were, it was useless. They knew Gu Qingfeng was determined to kill them all.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
