Star Extreme Immortal King was instantly plunged into boundless despair. That final strike just now had nearly exhausted the majority of his strength.
On the other hand, although those three Quasi-Immortal Kings were heavily injured, they still preserved a significant amount of power.
He could only cast his gaze toward his sole reliance at this moment, Gu Qingfeng.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingfeng's expression was also grim to the extreme.
That damned Chongming Immortal King actually prepared a Tribulation Transcendence Pill!
Hateful. Why must family make things difficult for family? We are born from the same root, so why is the frying so rushed?
At this moment, the accumulated tribulation lightning had been completely consumed. Even someone as strong as Gu Qingfeng would find it difficult to protect his family member's life under the threat of three Quasi-Immortal Kings.
No, This Emperor must win a chance for my family to escape.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng sent a mental voice transmission: "In a moment, This Emperor will think of a way to stall them. When you find an opportunity, run immediately. Do not look back."
Seeing the grave look on Gu Qingfeng's face, Star Extreme Immortal King's mood became heavy as well.
"Then what about you?"
"Don't worry about me. When I tell you to run, you run! My death is not something to be feared. This Emperor is currently most worried about you being killed by them. So, absolutely do not worry about me. Find a chance and run, hurry!" Gu Qingfeng said urgently.
Star Extreme Immortal King was instantly moved upon hearing this: "But..."
"But what! Do you not understand human speech? This Emperor told you to run, so hurry up and run! Everything This Emperor has done is for you. If you die, then This Emperor's blood and sweat will have been wasted. As long as you don't die, then everything is worth it. So, run! Scram!!!"
Gu Qingfeng practically roared.
Facing Gu Qingfeng's verbal abuse, Star Extreme Immortal King felt no anger; instead, warmth flooded his heart. He could hear that this was not an act. There was not a single drop of falsehood mixed into Gu Qingfeng's words. Every sentence he spoke came from the heart, from the bottom of his soul—a revelation of true emotion.
As long as This King doesn't die... then everything is worth it? Is it really... worth it?
This sentence truly struck the softest part of Star Extreme Immortal King's heart.
He never imagined that after roaming the world for half his life, in the end, on the verge of death, there would actually be such a person willing to sacrifice their life to help him.
Compared to Gu Qingfeng, he felt more and more that the matter with Concubine Luo was nothing. Brothers are like limbs, while women are like clothes; if a brother wants to wear your clothes, then just let him wear them.
With this thought, Star Extreme Immortal King made up his mind.
He wanted to live! He wanted to live on, carrying Gu Qingfeng's share of life with him! He absolutely could not let down the other party's goodwill and determination!
Furthermore, if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely capture that bitch Concubine Luo, drag her to Gu Qingfeng's grave, and send Concubine Luo down to keep him company.
Thus, Star Extreme Immortal King stopped hesitating. He took a deep breath, took one last deep look at Gu Qingfeng, and immediately turned tail to run.
"Trying to run? First ask This Seat if I agree!"
The three Quasi-Immortal Kings let out a cold snort and immediately chased after Star Extreme Immortal King.
"Trying to chase? First ask This Emperor if I agree!"
Gu Qingfeng similarly snorted coldly. He directly unleashed the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, transforming into a streak of extreme speed light to intercept the three of them.
Six Immortal King Armaments followed him like shadows, attacking with earth-shattering might.
At the same time, he attacked without reservation, his sleeves billowing as he struck out with his palm across the void.
A terrifying Demonic Flame Palm Print condensed, surging with raging, monstrous demonic energy, boundless in its terror.
The six Immortal King Armaments successfully caused two of the Quasi-Immortal Kings to pause, but they could not stop the third one.
The third Quasi-Immortal King reached out and pressed down. With an understated motion, the Demonic Flame Palm Print shattered with a bang, like a block of tofu.
Immediately afterward, he thrust out another palm, directly blasting Gu Qingfeng's body apart. Without even a glance, he flew at high speed to chase Star Extreme Immortal King.
Although Gu Qingfeng's strength was great, facing a Quasi-Immortal King was still a bit of a stretch for him now. Even if he could claim to be invincible and undefeated among the Great Luo Immortals, a Quasi-Immortal King was not a Great Luo; that was an entirely different level.
Star Extreme Immortal King, who was fleeing rapidly, felt a prickling sensation on his back.
With a grim expression, he quickly turned around, only to see that Quasi-Immortal King condensing a strange Immortal Seal between his ten fingers and smashing it down ruthlessly.
Star Extreme Immortal King had no choice but to defend with all his might.
Bang!
A dense, rapid series of explosions rang out.
Star Extreme Immortal King's raised hands, wrists, and arms were smashed as if by the hammer of an Immortal King, his bones and flesh shattering and splashing inch by inch.
However, it wasn't over yet. That Immortal Seal continued to smash toward Star Extreme Immortal King's body with undiminished momentum.
Finally, when the seal landed on Star Extreme Immortal King, his entire body trembled violently before exploding into a sky full of blood mist with a bang.
"No!!"
Gu Qingfeng, returning from the rolling tides of doom, saw this scene and his eyes threatened to split with rage. This Emperor's family!!
Fortunately, although Star Extreme Immortal King had suffered successive heavy injuries, he was still an Immortal King.
Even though his body had been blasted apart, in the next moment, the drifting blood mist suddenly went still. Then, as if time were reversing, it condensed frantically. In an instant, it reformed Star Extreme Immortal King's body.
Although he looked unscathed, his pale face and hunched body foretold that Star Extreme Immortal King could not hold on for much longer.
"This Seat wants to see how many more times you can last!"
The Quasi-Immortal King sneered, then once again raised the Immortal Seal to smash at Star Extreme Immortal King. As he moved, an unnatural flush appeared on his face; clearly, the injuries he sustained from the tribulation lightning earlier were not light. Although he was not yet running on fumes, he had expended the majority of his power.
However, the remaining power of the three Quasi-Immortal Kings was enough to deal with Gu Qingfeng and Star Extreme Immortal King.
Just in the nick of time, as the Immortal Seal was about to hit Star Extreme Immortal King, Gu Qingfeng's figure fiercely flashed in front of Star Extreme Immortal King.
"Immovable Demon King Body!"
Instantly, Gu Qingfeng transformed into a terrifying, hideous Demon God, his eight arms deadlocked against the Immortal Seal.
Demonic energy surged to the heavens. Blood flames steamed on his eight arms, and veins bulged out, looking exceptionally ferocious; he was clearly using his full strength.
"Go quickly! This Emperor can't hold on for too long!" Gu Qingfeng roared without looking back.
Star Extreme Immortal King gritted his teeth fiercely, transformed into a streak of light, and fled frantically into the distance.
At this moment, the attacks of the other two Immortal Kings arrived, but their target was Star Extreme Immortal King.
"Do not hurt This Emperor's family! Your opponent is me!"
Gu Qingfeng sacrificed the six Immortal King Armaments, driving them with full force. Six beams of colored immortal light shot into the sky, punching six massive holes in the firmament.
He actually intended to block three Quasi-Immortal Kings with his own strength alone!
Feeling the heaven-shaking power coming from behind him, Star Extreme Immortal King clenched his teeth, his expression ferocious, and did not look back.
But in his heart, he swore a silent oath: Brother Gu! One day, This King will definitely avenge you!
Bang!
Under the combined assault of the three Quasi-Immortal Kings, Gu Qingfeng's form was reduced to flying ash.
However, before the three Quasi-Immortal Kings could take two steps, he resurrected and returned once more, blocking their path just as before.
"Scram!"
Seeing that Star Extreme Immortal King was about to escape, the three of them attacked recklessly, disregarding the aggravation of their own injuries.
Gu Qingfeng's body was blasted apart once again.
Just like that, every few steps the three took, Gu Qingfeng would attack to block them once, only to be blown apart. He was completely using his life to buy a glimmer of hope for Star Extreme Immortal King.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought.

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
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 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.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.
