"You devil, what are you trying to do? Don't touch my Master!" Although Jiang Li was confused as to why she had instantly returned to the Flowing Cloud Immortal Domain, she immediately cried out to stop Gu Qingfeng upon seeing his actions.
Yet, how could she possibly stop him?
"Master! What are you doing? Open your eyes, quickly!"
As the sounds of the Heart Demon Illusion grew increasingly realistic, the Flowing Cloud Immortal King felt more and more agitated. She constantly warned herself deep within her heart:
*I personally exiled Gu Qingfeng and Jiang Li to the Land of Void. Even an Immortal King might not return from such a place. Even with great luck, it would take at least a million years.*
*Therefore, I must not open my eyes. This is a Heart Demon Illusion!*
Just as she was hypnotizing herself, suddenly...
A numbness, a warmth, a powerful pressure...
The sensation was far too real.
Snap!
The Flowing Cloud Immortal King snapped her eyes open. The figures of Gu Qingfeng and Jiang Li filled her vision, and for a moment, three pairs of eyes locked onto one another.
Combined with the undeniable tactile sensation, the Flowing Cloud Immortal King suddenly realized: *This isn't a Heart Demon?!*
"Ah!!"
She let out a startled scream and struck out instantly. Her pale, jade-like hand darted out like a butterfly weaving through flowers, carrying mysterious and profound fluctuations of law as it struck toward Gu Qingfeng.
A torrent of power filled with the aura of destruction erupted from her hand. The surrounding void instantly collapsed into countless fissures, and the entire cave dwelling, along with the surrounding mountains and rivers, crashed down with a thunderous boom.
Bang!
Gu Qingfeng's body was blasted apart directly, disintegrating into filling the sky with flying ash.
Following this strike, the collapse of the mountain range left the Flowing Cloud Immortal King exposed to the world.
In an instant, countless Quasi-Immortal Kings and Great Luo Golden Immortals teleported over, eager to see what had befallen their Immortal King. Was it another foreign invasion?
"Lord Immortal King, you..." A newly arrived Quasi-Immortal King was just about to ask a question, but the moment the words left his mouth, he froze on the spot, his eyes staring straight at the Flowing Cloud Immortal King's chest.
Trembling, he extended a finger, pointing at the area in front of the Immortal King, too shocked to utter a single word.
He wasn't the only one; the other Quasi-Immortal Kings who had rushed over wore the exact same expression.
The Flowing Cloud Immortal King also sensed that something was amiss. Because she had attacked with full force in a fit of rage, her body was in tearing pain, preventing her from immediately noticing the anomaly. But seeing the bizarre reactions of her subordinates, realization suddenly dawned on her.
She looked down and instantly felt her mind shatter.
A severed hand was firmly clinging to her chest, its five fingers wriggling like an octopus.
Squeezing. Deforming.
"Ah!!"
The Flowing Cloud Immortal King let out an even louder scream. She never imagined that even after blasting Gu Qingfeng apart, he would leave a hand behind to cause mischief.
Filled with shame and rage, she struck out, her hand radiating brilliant immortal light, obliterating the severed hand with a single palm.
"Keh keh keh... the texture..."
Gu Qingfeng's maniacal laughter rang out from behind the Flowing Cloud Immortal King, but before he could finish speaking...
Boom!
The Flowing Cloud Immortal King's aura surged majestically. In an instant, hundreds of storms formed from white clouds appeared behind her, blotting out the sky and sun.
The world fell into chaos as the white storms swept through, annihilating the void and causing total collapse.
"You deserve to die!" The Flowing Cloud Immortal King's voice—melodious yet filled with endless killing intent and rage—rang out from behind the storms.
However, just as the storms were about to strike...
Pfft!
The sound of blood being spat out echoed.
The hundreds of storms vanished instantly, revealing the haggard figure of the Flowing Cloud Immortal King kneeling on the ground.
She... finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Her severe injuries, combined with high-intensity combat and that final grope by Gu Qingfeng, became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Under the double blow of physical trauma and the overwhelming rush of rage to her heart, even someone as strong as the Flowing Cloud Immortal King collapsed.
"Master!!"
"Lord Immortal King!"
Countless people cried out in alarm, rushing toward the Flowing Cloud Immortal King like madmen.
Jiang Li was the fastest; she caught the Flowing Cloud Immortal King's teetering body, her face filled with concern and tear streaks.
"Master, are you alright?!"
Seeing this, the other Quasi-Immortal Kings hurriedly formed a formation to shield the Flowing Cloud Immortal King behind them, facing Gu Qingfeng with the tension of an impending apocalypse.
However, no one dared to strike first. Against an enemy that even an Immortal King was helpless against, they would simply be lambs to the slaughter. Their only option now was defense—to protect the Flowing Cloud Immortal King.
"I'm fine." The Flowing Cloud Immortal King struggled to stand, but just as she straightened up, she collapsed again. Fortunately, Jiang Li was supporting her, or she would have fallen to the ground.
It was obvious to everyone that the Flowing Cloud Immortal King was now an arrow at the end of its flight—completely spent.
Seeing this, several Quasi-Immortal Kings immediately shouted, "Jiang Li, take Lord Immortal King and leave first! We will bring up the rear!"
Clearly, they had decided to temporarily abandon the foundation of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Domain to save the Flowing Cloud Immortal King.
This was the correct decision. As long as the Flowing Cloud Immortal King lived, the Flowing Cloud Immortal Domain could be re-established anywhere. But if she fell, the Domain would truly be finished.
"Keh keh keh... Thinking of running? None of you are escaping today!"
"Star Extreme Divine Restriction!"
Gu Qingfeng violently threw out the Star Extreme Immortal King's Immortal King Weapon, the Star Extreme Pearl.
The round pearl instantly embedded itself in the firmament. In the blink of an eye, it evolved into a nebula composed of billions of converging stars, descending like a shroud.
It sealed the sky for a million miles, encompassing the entire Flowing Cloud Immortal Domain.
Yet, he wasn't finished. He took out the Heaven Shrouding Umbrella and poured his devilish energy into it. Densely packed mysterious runes instantly surfaced on the umbrella, shining as bright as stars.
He tossed it casually, and the Heaven Shrouding Umbrella hung in the highest heavens, expanding in the wind. In a mere instant, the sky suddenly darkened—the entire Flowing Cloud Immortal Domain had been covered by the umbrella.
Facing an Immortal King, Gu Qingfeng showed sufficient respect by bringing out two consecutive Immortal King Weapons to seal the area.
Feeling the terrifying sealing power, everyone fell into a panic.
"Keh keh keh... Flowing Cloud beauty, be a good girl and come into this Emperor's embrace. Oh, right, and you too, Jiang Li. Neither master nor disciple shall escape!" Gu Qingfeng laughed wickedly.
"You devil, I'll fight you to the death!"
A purple-robed Quasi-Immortal King raised the immortal sword in his hand, erupting with endless sword intent, and charged at Gu Qingfeng.
Close behind him were the other Quasi-Immortal Kings and a host of Great Luo Golden Immortals.
To protect the Flowing Cloud Immortal King, they charged at Gu Qingfeng without fear of death, even knowing they were no match for him.
For a moment, the world was illuminated by various colors of immortal light as the power of countless immortal weapons and divine abilities erupted.
Facing the siege of the immortals, Gu Qingfeng didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He spoke faintly, "Grip of the Netherworld."
Rumble!
A Netherworld Gate rising ten thousand feet high emerged behind him, spreading a chilling, terrifying aura throughout the battlefield.
Bang!
The Netherworld Gate crashed open, and countless pale ghostly hands shot out like a swarm of snakes.
With just a single strike, the sky full of immortal weapons and divine abilities shattered completely.
Countless screams rang out.
Dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Immortal Kings were all seized by the throat by the ghostly hands and hoisted high into the air.
The scene was utterly macabre. The ghostly hand resembled the gnarled branches of hell, with living people dangling from its countless offshoots one after another.
"Stop at once!" Immortal King Flowing Cloud's breathtakingly beautiful, pale face was filled with deep anxiety and concern.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
