After dragging away the annoying Gu Wuyou, Gu Qingfeng fell into deep thought. Things definitely couldn't go on like this. No one dared to come to him to transcend their heavenly tribulations, and even fewer people came to deliver poisonous creatures to him.
How could he achieve his grand ambition if things continued this way?
He obviously just wanted to create a beautiful world free of tribulations and poisons, where no one would die from transcending tribulations or from being poisoned. Was that so wrong?
Why couldn't these people stand to see the world become a better place?
Ultimately, it was because the Immortal Kings had accumulated their prestige for far too long. They had ruled the Sixth Star Ruin for countless hundreds of millions of years, causing people to submit to them entirely, both physically and psychologically, lacking the courage to resist.
He had to break these psychological shackles!
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng decided that he would sweep through all the major Immortal King factions, completely ruining their so-called prestige, and restore a bright and clear sky to the world!
With this in mind, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "Where is my son, Wuyou?"
The empty, vast hall offered no response.
By his side, Immortal Empress Xihe said, "Your good adopted son was just thrown into the Infernal Heavy Prison by you."
Smack!
"Nonsense, wouldn't this Emperor know that? Just because he was thrown into the Infernal Heavy Prison doesn't mean he can't be fished back out! Why the hell are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and bring my son Wuyou here. This Emperor has a task for him. It won't be too late to throw him back into prison after he finishes it."
Immortal Empress Xihe's pretty face flushed bright red. She glared fiercely at Gu Qingfeng and then limped away to find Gu Wuyou.
A moment later, Gu Wuyou was fished out.
Upon entering the main hall, he immediately began crying, snot and tears running down his face, "Adoptive Father, your son knew you couldn't bear to let me suffer..."
"Shut up. This Emperor has a matter for you to handle. After you are done, you will return to the Infernal Heavy Prison."
Gu Wuyou: "..."
What did you take your adopted son for? A tool?! To be thrown away after use!?
"Alright, Adoptive Father, please give your orders."
"Immediately announce to the public that this Emperor intends to unite the Sixth Star Ruin. Tell all those Immortal King factions to bow their heads and submit, pay annual tributes, and offer up their princesses, holy maidens, and the like. The more, the better."
"Ah?! Adoptive Father, please reconsider! Although you are invincible in this world, two fists are no match for four hands. If you rashly make an enemy of the whole world, I'm afraid you will be attacked by everyone," Gu Wuyou advised.
This time, he was being completely sincere. Although he desperately wished his adoptive father would hurry up and die, he couldn't die like this!
If you declare war on the whole world, everyone will know I am your adopted son. Once you die, will there be any way out for me?
By then, even if I wanted to acknowledge someone else as my adoptive father, absolutely no one would take me in!
"Shut up! How can an insolent brat like you interrupt the decisions made by this Emperor? Hurry up and get it done. If you mess this up, bring your head to see me!"
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's displeased gaze, Gu Wuyou's heart trembled. He hastily agreed and then left to carry out the task.
As an adopted son, he knew very well what kind of character his adoptive father was. He was a vicious tiger cruel enough to actually eat its own cubs!
.......
Several days later.
The news that the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor intended to unite the Sixth Star Ruin spread like wildfire. Countless people sighed and shook their heads, and some even outright cursed at him.
They cursed the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor for losing his mind, saying his arrogance knew no bounds.
Even Immortal Kings couldn't unite the Sixth Star Ruin. As a mere existence who wasn't even an Immortal King, what right did he have to spout such boastful words?
Those Immortal King factions directly released statements saying that as long as Gu Qingfeng dared to come, they would make sure he never returned.
Furthermore, rumors began to fly everywhere. They claimed that the reason Gu Qingfeng was able to defeat the Chongming Immortal Clan was because he had previously sent his adopted son, Gu Wuyou, as a spy to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, succeeding only through a sneak attack from the inside and outside.
Along with these rumors, not only did Gu Qingfeng's reputation grow louder, but even his adopted son, Gu Wuyou, became famous.
Once a person becomes famous, their dark history is easily dug up.
Consequently, Gu Wuyou was stripped bare by the public eye.
Gu Wuyou, originally named Ye Wuyou, was a native of the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty and the leader of the notorious assassin organization, Wuyou Mountain. Because he offended Gu Qingfeng, his organization was wiped out. Afterwards, he acknowledged a thief as his father and changed his name to Gu Wuyou.
Later, he joined the Chongming Immortal Clan, acknowledged the Chongming Immortal King as his adoptive father, and changed his name to Yuwen Wuyou.
Finally, he even collaborated with his former adoptive father from the inside and outside to destroy the Chongming Immortal Clan.
On the outside, he looked like an innocent and cute child, but in reality, his heart was treacherous and ruthless. He was an utterly despicable villain, dubbed by the vast number of immortals as the Slave with Three Surnames.
When the news spread back, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but sneer. These Immortal King factions had truly sat high and mighty for far too long, believing themselves to be unshakable.
With ironclad strength laid bare right before their eyes, they still made excuses for themselves, talking about collaborating with Gu Wuyou from the inside and outside?
Fine. Since that was the case, it was time to smash their arrogant shells.
However, who should he look for first?
Gu Qingfeng thought about it. Ladies first, he supposed.
The Flowing Cloud Immortal King it is!
........
Flowing Cloud Immortal Realm.
This was an incredibly vast sea of clouds, tranquil and beautiful, just like a fairyland on earth.
Flood dragons occasionally tumbled within the sea of clouds, and above it, immortal cranes spread their wings and called out melodiously.
Floating above this sea of clouds was a massive landmass, upon which an ancient city was built.
Flowing Cloud Immortal City.
The city was extremely lively and bustling, with antique streets and alleys crisscrossing one another. Ancient buildings stood closely packed together everywhere, and immortals could be seen riding the clouds and mist or flying on swords, making the atmosphere incredibly peaceful.
However, the good times didn't last......
On this day, the sky over the Flowing Cloud Immortal Realm suddenly darkened. Dense black clouds covered the firmament, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and fierce winds howled.
The wind carried a bloody stench.
Countless immortals looked up at the sky, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. They only felt that the weather had become somewhat abnormal.
Suddenly, the thunder and wind grew even more intense.
Drip, drop.
It started to rain from the sky.
The bloody stench in the air grew thicker and thicker.
Someone asked in confusion, "Why does this rain carry a bloody stench?" As he spoke, he wiped his face, which had been wet by the rain, and looked at his hand.
Instantly, he turned pale with fright: "Blood! Why is there blood? Am I injured?"
He hastily felt his face, but found no wounds. However, as he wiped wildly, the bloodstains on his hands only increased.
At this moment, he finally realized the truth and said with a horrified expression, "It's not my blood! It's the rain! This is a rain of blood! A foul wind and a rain of blood!"
He wasn't the only one who noticed the anomaly; soon, everyone discovered it.
Some people with low cultivation bases began to panic. A foul wind and a rain of blood—this was an ominous omen!
Those with profound cultivation wore solemn expressions. They knew very well that when some powerful and exceptionally gifted immortals were born, they would be accompanied by heavenly phenomena.
But most of those were auspicious signs, such as falling heavenly flowers, golden lotuses springing from the earth, dragons and phoenixes bringing prosperity, qilin offering auspicious greetings, a bright moon rising over the sea, or stars shining across the nine heavens. Since when did black clouds threatening to crush the city and a foul wind with a rain of blood appear?
What kind of demonic fiend was this?
"Kek kek kek......."
A bone-chilling, sinister laugh suddenly erupted from the sky.
"What a tranquil fairyland. What a pity that after today, everything will be turned to dust."
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.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
