The Great Battle Against the Chongming Immortal Clan

"Great Elder! Third Elder!"

Countless clansmen cried out in anguish.

These two elders, usually held in such high esteem, were now being hoisted up like dead dogs, displayed for all to see.

Gu Qingfeng’s maniacal laughter echoed in their ears.

"Immortal Empress, please save the Great Elder and the Third Elder!"

"Yes, Immortal Empress, let us attack! This is the territory of the Chongming Clan. With so many of us, can we really do nothing against him?"

An elder who knew the inside story said anxiously, "Immortal Empress, even if this demon is undying and indestructible, his power cannot be infinite. If we swarm him, I refuse to believe he can kill all of us before his strength is exhausted!"

"Exactly! Once this demon's power runs dry, won't he be at our mercy?"

Facing the crowd of clansmen, Immortal Empress Xihe shook her head with a grave expression.

She spoke in a deep voice, "No one is to take a single step outside the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation!"

"What!"

"Immortal Empress, please reconsider!"

"What about the two elders?"

The Chongming clansmen were frantic. When had they ever suffered such humiliation? Blocked at their own doorstep, afraid to come out—was this still a clan of an Immortal King?

Immortal Empress Xihe offered no explanation. Instead, she issued a forceful command, forbidding anyone from stepping out even half a pace.

As a powerhouse at the Quasi-Immortal King level, she had her own considerations.

True, Gu Qingfeng's power was not infinite. But one must not forget that this demon could devour the power of others and was undying. A group battle would only make him stronger the more he fought. Swarming him was simply sending themselves to their deaths.

Furthermore, this demon's strength was terrifying. He had fought two elders simultaneously without sustaining a scratch. Even Immortal Empress Xihe herself could not achieve such a feat. How were they supposed to fight him?

Even if they combined their strength to kill him, so what? He could resurrect.

Even if they found a weakness during the battle, how many clansmen would have to die to find it?

Therefore, the safest method was to stay within the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation and wait for the Chongming Immortal King to return.

In this world, there were very few enemies an Immortal King could not resolve, and this demon was certainly not one of them.

At this moment, the Great Elder and the Third Elder had turned into two desiccated corpses. Gu Qingfeng tossed them aside like trash.

"Oh? Scared already? I never expected that the dignified Chongming Immortal Clan couldn't produce a single man with a backbone," Gu Qingfeng mocked.

The Chongming Immortal Clan was seething with indignation, but under Immortal Empress Xihe's orders, no one dared to go out.

"Gu Qingfeng, there is no need for your arrogance. This Empress has already notified His Majesty Chongming. The day of his return will be the day of your impending doom!" Immortal Empress Xihe said coldly.

"Jiejiejie... Does that old geezer Chongming even dare to come back? Seeing This Emperor here, he wouldn't dare show his face even if you lent him ten guts."

Gu Qingfeng grew increasingly arrogant, his words showing absolutely no regard for the Chongming Immortal King.

Of course, he was doing this on purpose. In reality, he hoped for the Chongming Immortal King's return more than anyone else.

"Impudence! How dare you insult the Chongming Immortal King!"

"A mere petty demon, what right do you have to speak His Majesty's name!"

The crowd clamored from behind the safety of the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation.

"Jiejiejie... Do you ants think that hiding inside this broken turtle shell means you can sleep easy?"

As soon as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, a bizarre scene unfolded.

His imposing figure dispersed like green smoke in the wind, vanishing without a trace.

Everyone was shocked.

"He's gone!?"

"Where is the demon? Did he run away?"

Immortal Empress Xihe and the others frowned; they could no longer sense Gu Qingfeng's presence.

"Jiejiejie..." A maniacal laugh suddenly exploded from the heart of the Chongming Immortal Clan's territory!

Immortal Empress Xihe’s expression changed drastically in an instant, for the sound had come from not far behind her.

The others fared no better. They frantically looked towards the source of the sound, and a chill instantly ran down their spines.

They saw a towering man radiating monstrous demonic energy, his black hair dancing wildly and his eyes gleaming with demonic light. He was hovering high in the void, holding Protector Lie in one hand, looking down on everyone with disdain.

It was none other than Gu Qingfeng!

"How is this possible!!" an elder screamed.

"How could you possibly pass through the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation set by the Immortal King?! How on earth did you get in!?"

If the elders were reacting this way, one could only imagine the state of the ordinary clansmen.

The ordinary clansmen acted exactly like victims in a horror movie being chased by a ghost. Just when they thought they were safe hiding in a room with the door locked, blocking the ghost outside, they turned around after a sigh of relief only to come face-to-face with the monster.

"Save... save me!" Protector Lie, whose throat was being crushed, weakly reached out toward Immortal Empress Xihe. However, just as his hand reached halfway, his arm slumped down as if his bones had been removed.

Protector Lie was dead, his foundation drained dry by Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng ignored the crowd's exclamations. Instead, he stared straight at Immortal Empress Xihe and smiled wickedly. "I thought the view from afar was soul-stirring enough, but I didn't expect the scenery up close to be even more magnificent."

Feeling Gu Qingfeng’s burning gaze focused on her chest, the killing intent in Immortal Empress Xihe's eyes surged.

She knew that a battle today was unavoidable. She never imagined Gu Qingfeng could ignore the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation. It seemed they could not wait for the Chongming Immortal King's return; they had to fight with everything they had!

In truth, Gu Qingfeng’s ability to bypass the formation was all thanks to Protector Lie. Protector Lie carried a Tribulation Seed that Gu Qingfeng had planted, serving as a positioning marker.

He had used it just now to traverse the Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation.

"Attack!"

Immortal Empress Xihe shouted, and countless beams of immortal light shot into the sky.

A man in python robes activated thirty-six lightning beads, blasting them toward Gu Qingfeng.

A woman in purple also attacked, sacrificing a Jade Ruyi to smash down viciously.

At the same time, countless pagodas, immortal swords, and magical abilities swarmed toward Gu Qingfeng densely.

Boom!

The world shook, immortal light swept across, and divine radiance fell like rain.

The great battle erupted instantly!

Gu Qingfeng was excited. He hadn't been this excited in a long time.

His agitated expression now resembled a live streamer seeing a flood of gifts from a frenzied audience filling the screen, shouting excitedly: "Let's go, fam! Thank you, fam!"

To Gu Qingfeng, these sky-filling attacks were the gifts tipping the streamer.

"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly, then plunged headfirst into the barrage of attacks.

Those sharp immortal swords, powerful pagodas, and bizarre secret arts struck his body like raindrops, having absolutely no effect.

What does it mean to be Diamond Indestructible and Eternally Undying? This was it!

The tsunami-like attacks submerged Gu Qingfeng, with powerful immortal weapons falling like rain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless explosions rang out. The void where Gu Qingfeng stood was blasted into smithereens, yet he remained completely unharmed—not even a single hair was lost.
