In the Immortal Meteor Battlefield, five figures—their divine might imposing as a prison, their statures majestic as stars—erupted in fury. The aura they unleashed spread like an exploding sun; mere aftershocks annihilated countless surrounding stars.
"Five against one, yet the tables were turned on them? Those trash! They are all trash!" roared the irascible Immortal King Xuanjun, his voice thundering through heaven and earth.
Immortal King Tiandu appeared even colder than usual.
"He can actually control the power of the Immortal King Tribulation. Yunxiao and the others did not lose unjustly. This Seat never imagined that such an ancient divine object as the Congenital Lightning Pole would possess such efficacy."
"Amitabha. This man, Gu Qingfeng, possesses a profound demonic nature. Furthermore, he holds supreme treasures and is protected by the Immortal King Tribulation. I fear that apart from us, no one can subdue him. It is a pity that we are currently burdened with important matters and cannot extricate ourselves," the Buddha Lord of the Little Western Heaven said with a face full of compassion.
"No, I must save Li'er. She is still in Gu Qingfeng's hands. I do not know what kind of torture she suffers daily," Immortal King Liuyun shouted, his anger soaring to the heavens.
Compared to the anxiety of the others, the Immortal King Chongming was much calmer. The death of Yuwen Xiong did not affect him much, for he now had a better successor: his adopted son, Yuwen Wuyou.
The current Yuwen Wuyou had long since abandoned his human bloodline and successfully transplanted the bloodline of the Chongming clan. He was now a proper Chongming clansman, possessing even the legendary Double Pupils.
Coupled with his Devil Infant physique, his future ascension to Immortal King was promising. moreover, he was filial. Wasn't he far better than Yuwen Xiong?
"Immortal King Liuyun, calm down," Immortal King Tiandu said indifferently.
"Calm down?!" Immortal King Liuyun raged. "Just because your heir, Yunxiao, is already dead, of course you aren't anxious. But Jiang Li is still alive!"
Immortal King Tiandu: "......"
He was somewhat speechless. He hadn't expected that even after becoming an Immortal King, a woman's nature would remain hard to change. What did she mean by 'since Yunxiao is dead, of course I'm not anxious'?
Listen to that—are those the words of a human?
So, in her logic, being dead is somehow less serious than being alive?
"If you wish to save Jiang Li, you do not necessarily have to go personally. The power in this world is conserved. Even the Congenital Lightning Pole cannot conjure an Immortal King Tribulation out of thin air. Have you forgotten that Gu Qingfeng previously helped Gu Ruochen once, aiding him in overcoming his Immortal King Tribulation?"
Immortal King Liuyun immediately regained her composure. "You mean to say that the Immortal King Tribulation Gu Qingfeng controls actually belonged to Gu Ruochen, and it is a one-time consumable? Since he has released it once, he surely has little left."
Those who could become Immortal Kings were no fools; naturally, they easily deduced this layer of logic.
"Precisely. Therefore, we only need to dispatch a few Quasi-Immortal Kings. Without the Immortal King Tribulation, Gu Qingfeng is nothing."
"But I heard that Gu Qingfeng seems to master some secret resurrection art. He can survive even after being struck by an Immortal King Weapon."
"There is no secret art of true immortality in this world. Even we Immortal Kings can die, let alone him. His so-called immortality is merely because the attacker's power was insufficient. If several Quasi-Immortal Kings go personally, he will undoubtedly die. Even if they cannot kill him, they can capture him alive and bring him back for us to kill," Immortal King Tiandu said calmly.
The others thought about it and agreed. If even Immortal Kings were not truly immortal and indestructible, on what basis could a nameless nobody be?
Thus, the Immortal Kings sent out their messages, each dispatching one of their subordinates to exact revenge on Gu Qingfeng.
........
Pulled by a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Gu Qingfeng returned to the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty in just over a month.
Of course, this journey was not without the encouragement of a small leather whip. Whenever Jiang Li slacked off, Gu Qingfeng would act as if he were driving a carriage, delivering a fierce lash to the horse's rump.
Upon arriving at the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty, Gu Qingfeng immediately recalled his draft horse, Jiang Li, and then rushed non-stop to the location of the Star Ancient Tree.
The Star Ancient Tree remained as it was before, towering into the clouds, its branches lush and leafy. The branches extended into the void, seeming to support a world of their own, vast and boundless.
A single leaf on it was the size of a mountain range, truly blotting out the sky and sun.
And on those branches, which resembled long mountain ridges, hung countless dense remnants of stars.
However, the only difference was that today, the Star Ancient Tree looked somewhat yellowed, appearing as if it were suffering from malnutrition.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng became instantly anxious.
If the Star Ancient Tree was in this state, didn't that mean his 'family member' was on the brink of death?
So, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "Concubine Luo! This Emperor has brought back the Star Tear! Come out, quickly!"
As soon as his voice fell—Swish! Swish!
Two figures, a man and a woman, instantly descended from the sky.
The man had a cold face, wore black clothes, and cradled a long sword in his arms. It was none other than the stoic swordsman, Yan Jingyun.
The woman was a beautiful matron dressed in gorgeous palace attire. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her makeup refined, and she possessed a mature charm. Her entire being was like a fully ripened honey peach. This was Concubine Luo.
Concubine Luo's beautiful eyes were watery as she looked at Gu Qingfeng with surprise. "You really found the Star Tear? Where is it? Take it out quickly and let This Consort see."
"Never mind the Star Tear for now. How is the Star Extreme Immortal King's condition? This Emperor sees that the Star Ancient Tree has turned yellow."
"His Majesty is fine; these are just minor issues. As long as we have the Star Tear, everything will no longer be a problem."
Hearing this, the worry in Gu Qingfeng's eyes immediately faded. He had been terrified that his efforts would be in vain—that after working so hard to find the Star Tear, he would return only to find the person dead!
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario had not occurred.
As his spirit relaxed, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Concubine Luo's ripe, voluptuous body. To be honest, his favorite fruit in the modern world had been honey peaches.
Even after eating so many celestial peaches and immortal fruits in this world, his original intention remained unchanged; he still loved that flavor and missed the honey peaches of the past.
"Where is the Star Tear?" Concubine Luo parted her red lips, her tone urgent.
Clearly, she was eager to save her husband.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Yan Jingyun, who stood like a door god to the side, and said, "The Star Tear is on This Emperor's person, but This Emperor does not trust this man. What if he harbors malicious intent and tries to snatch it by force? He is the only Grand Luo Golden Immortal present; who could stop him?"
"Jingyun will absolutely never have second thoughts. You can rest assured."
"This Emperor is not assured. To be honest, if This Emperor didn't need to know the specific location of the Star Extreme Immortal King, This Emperor wouldn't even trust you! Who knows if you are sincerely trying to save This Emperor's family!"
Concubine Luo: "......."
She had long been speechless regarding Gu Qingfeng. From the moment he had clamored and demanded to be possessed back then, she had realized that there might be something wrong with this person's brain.
"Jingyun, you withdraw for now," Concubine Luo ordered.
Yan Jingyun nodded coldly, then his figure vanished into the void, disappearing from sight.
Concubine Luo did not fear that Gu Qingfeng had any malicious intent. Although she was not a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, she was not someone a mere True Immortal like Gu Qingfeng could manipulate.
Moreover, when Gu Qingfeng left back then, he had consumed the Gu God Pill. Taking his life would be as easy as turning over her hand.
"Alright, Jingyun has gone. You can take out the Star Tear now."
Gu Qingfeng looked around and said, "This place is too open. This Emperor fears there may be malicious people prying. Let us go to your palace instead."
Concubine Luo felt a touch of impatience, yet for the sake of the Star Tear, she agreed to Gu Qingfeng's request.
Subsequently, the pair proceeded to the palace where she resided.
Once inside the palace, Gu Qingfeng slammed the heavy doors shut with a resounding bang. He turned around, fixing an intense, unblinking gaze upon Concubine Luo, a wicked, devilish grin curling the corners of his mouth.
Witnessing the undisguised desire in his eyes, Concubine Luo immediately furrowed her brows. "Gu Qingfeng, what is the meaning of this?"
The smile on Gu Qingfeng's face became increasingly wanton. "Heh heh heh... Concubine Luo, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your husband, would you?"
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
