The Times Have Changed

The Great Dao of Calamity, capable of destroying everything, was absolutely the strongest existence, so strong that even the Eternal True Realm could not accommodate it.

However, Gu Qingfeng was still not satisfied.

If he only chose the Great Dao of Calamity as his foundation to advance to the Daluo realm, wouldn't the other Daos be wasted?

Therefore, he planned to walk his old path, fusing all Daos into his own Demonic Dao, using this as his foundation!

He was determined to become the greatest demon in the heavens and the myriad worlds, making all his family members feel warmth. Under such a magnificent ambition, how could he walk the Dao of others? Of course, he had to walk his own Demonic Dao.

Thus, he temporarily stayed at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, planning to find an opportunity to temper his own Dao before advancing to the Daluo realm.

He didn't care much about his cultivation realm either. In this day and age, what proper person judged strength by cultivation realm?

In terms of strength, Gu Qingfeng felt that he was absolutely invincible below the Immortal King realm. He could even arm-wrestle an Immortal King. Of course, defeating an Immortal King might take some effort, but if an Immortal King wanted to defeat him, that was purely wishful thinking.

In short, below the Immortal King realm I am invincible; above the Immortal King realm, do as you please.

Over the past few days, Gu Qingfeng had also obtained intelligence about the Immortal Perishing Battlefield from Immortal Empress Xihe, and understood why Immortal Kings loved to run to the Immortal Perishing Battlefield.

The Meteor Abyss was divided into Nine Great Star Ruins. The current region they were in was the Sixth Star Ruin. Under normal circumstances, the Nine Great Star Ruins did not interfere with each other and were independent of one another.

However, the Immortal Perishing Battlefield was the convergence point of the Nine Great Star Ruins. It was extremely dangerous, with chaotic laws. Ordinary immortals would definitely die if they went there.

However, danger was often accompanied by opportunity. The reason why Immortal Kings flocked to the Immortal Perishing Battlefield was because there were Transcendent Substances there.

Normally, an immortal who merged with the Dao would be attached to the Eternal True Realm. Cultivating to the Immortal King realm was already the limit. At this time, if they wanted to break through further, they needed to find Transcendent Substances and use them to transcend.

If becoming an immortal was merging with the Dao, then achieving a realm above the Immortal King was severing the Dao!

Using Transcendent Substances to transcend and break free from the control of the Eternal True Realm was the only way to attain great freedom.

Gu Qingfeng expressed great understanding of this. The Eternal True Realm had produced generations of capable individuals. It was impossible for them not to see the huge drawbacks of the path of merging with the Dao to become an immortal. But without merging with the Dao, one could not comprehend the Dao. Thus, this newly opened path came into being.

It was like playing the subservient grandson first before becoming the boss later. First merge with the Dao, take all the benefits, and then transcend, breaking free from the control of the Eternal True Realm to pursue a higher path of the Dao.

This was also the reason why the lofty Immortal Kings were willing to take risks.

At the same time, this was the origin of the name of the Immortal Perishing Battlefield. Immortal Perishing, Immortal Perishing, it was the place where immortals perished.

The Immortal Perishing Battlefield was the convergence point of the Nine Great Star Ruins, equivalent to a shared forbidden area. Those who went in and out of there were at least Daluo Golden Immortals. Without entering the Daluo realm and comprehending the Eternal Great Dao, one simply could not enter the Immortal Perishing Battlefield. Forcibly entering would only result in dying under the chaotic turbulence of laws there.

To obtain Transcendent Substances, besides facing the natural disasters of the Immortal Perishing Battlefield, one also had to face various terrifying exotic beasts and enemies from the major Star Ruins.

Everyone's goal was the Transcendent Substances, so naturally, there were no true friends. They could only rely on snatching.

To be honest, Gu Qingfeng was not interested in Transcendent Substances. After all, he did not need to transcend, because what he merged with was not the Eternal True Realm, but the Origin of Calamity. He was not controlled by the Eternal True Realm, so naturally, he did not need Transcendent Substances.

But he definitely had to go to the Immortal Perishing Battlefield.

For no other reason than he didn't want to see the Immortal Kings from the major Star Ruins slaughtering each other and desperately competing. Immortal King Chongming was a naked example.

What a great family member he was, yet he perished just like that in the Immortal Perishing Battlefield. This was simply a massive waste.

Although he had not received the exact news of Immortal King Chongming's death, the communication jade slip had not lit up for several days, so there was a high probability that he was dead.

To prevent such wasteful incidents from happening, Gu Qingfeng decided to make a trip to the Immortal Perishing Battlefield, but not now.

He still needed to make some preparations before going.

First was to find pleasure in helping others, form good karmic ties widely, and help people undergo their heavenly tribulations as much as possible to accumulate tribulation lightning. After all, tribulation lightning was truly useful. If he had enough tribulation lightning, he could even kill an Immortal King for you to see.

Second was to imitate Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, identifying poisonous substances for the common people, collecting the poisons of the world, and achieving a world without poison. More than a million living beings were poisoned to death every year. What a pity for these young lives!

Gu Qingfeng felt that with great power comes great responsibility. Since he possessed the Great Dao Poison Body, he naturally had to eliminate poison for the world!

After making his plans, Gu Qingfeng called for Gu Wuyou.

"Your child greets Adoptive Father. May I ask what orders Adoptive Father has?" Gu Wuyou said respectfully.

Gu Qingfeng pondered while squeezing a balloon, "How are things going?"

"To answer Adoptive Father, the entire Chongming Immortal Clan has been planted with slave seals according to your orders. From now on, Adoptive Father, you are the master of the entire Chongming Immortal Clan!"

"Mm, you did well. As your father, I have two more tasks for you to do."

"Not to mention two tasks, even if it's two hundred! As long as it is ordered by Adoptive Father, Wuyou will definitely do his utmost."

"The first task: spread the news that this Emperor has conquered and destroyed the Chongming Clan. Tell the world that the territory of the Chongming Clan now belongs to this Emperor. Those immortals who want to undergo their tribulation can come here to find this Emperor.

The second task: release the news that this Emperor wants to collect the world's poisonous substances. Anyone, as long as they have poisonous substances, can bring them to this Emperor in exchange for a reward. Oh, right, among those undergoing tribulation, whoever can present a bizarre poison can be given priority to undergo their tribulation.

Have you memorized it?" Gu Qingfeng instructed indifferently.

Gu Wuyou immediately cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Yes, Adoptive Father, your child has memorized everything."

"Mm, alright, go do it. If you don't do it well, bring your head to see me."

"Yes, Adoptive Father!" Gu Wuyou replied with full confidence, and then left the palace.

Gu Qingfeng was very satisfied with his attitude towards conducting himself and handling matters. In truth, based on his current strength, he no longer had any use for Gu Wuyou. After all, who knew how many lifetimes it would take to wait for him to break through to the Immortal King realm.

But why did Gu Qingfeng still treat Ye Wuyou as his adopted son? It was because this kid was absolutely a natural-born lackey. His skills in flattering, observing people's expressions, and handling matters were all top-notch.

He needed exactly this kind of talent by his side.

......

Three days later.

As pieces of news spread out from the Chongming Immortal Clan, a massive earthquake erupted across the entire Sixth Star Ruin.

In the streets and alleys, markets and restaurants, and even in the deep mountains and old forests, people were discussing this matter.

The Chongming Immortal Clan had been annihilated!

The once lofty Immortal King family had been single-handedly defeated by the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor Lord. There were countless casualties, and the remaining people were all forced into slavery.

The first reaction of anyone who heard this explosive news was disbelief; it was simply pure fantasy.

What a joke! That was an Immortal King faction. How could they be exterminated?

Especially those subordinate factions of the Chongming Immortal Clan, they were even more incredulous. How could this be possible?

Waking up from a sleep, and the era had changed?

.Five.
