Boom!
Under the colossal force of billions of jun, the void could no longer bear the crushing weight and shattered into pieces.
Facing this apocalyptic might that felt like the sky itself was collapsing, Gu Qingfeng merely extended a single finger and lightly pressed it against the turtle's foot.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
Compared to the massive turtle foot that blotted out the sun and sky, Gu Qingfeng's finger was as tiny as a needle.
Yet, this very needle easily halted the downward momentum of the turtle's foot.
It was as if the Xuanming Turtle had stepped on a piece of indestructible divine iron; no matter how hard it tried, it could not press its foot down any further.
The most miraculous part was that despite bearing a colossal force of billions of jun, the ground beneath Gu Qingfeng's feet remained completely intact.
This was because the system had already absorbed the entirety of this force, preventing even the slightest trace of it from leaking out.
This also caused Gu Qingfeng's physique to strengthen a bit more.
The degree of increase was not large, as his physique had already been elevated to a terrifying level earlier when he held up the Star Abyss with a single hand.
However, for an expert of Gu Qingfeng's caliber, even an extremely minuscule improvement was considered terrifying compared to others.
Patriarch Xuanming was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that Gu Qingfeng could easily resist even the most tyrannical physical force without using any of the seven Immortal King Weapons.
It was as if those seven Immortal King Weapons were merely for display.
There was absolutely no way this brat was just a Golden Immortal!
He must be an old monster hiding his true cultivation!
Damn it! I knew it! Anyone who can take out seven Immortal King Weapons is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Just as cold sweat poured down Patriarch Xuanming's face, a loud boom resonated!
Demonic light erupted from Gu Qingfeng's entire body. Looking like a primordial fierce demon, he threw a punch filled with killing intent.
His fist was covered in taboo-like demonic patterns. As the punch was thrown, the demonic patterns burned, surging with blinding demonic light that instantly made the power of this strike boundlessly terrifying.
This punch viciously struck the Xuanming Turtle.
Immediately, in just an instant, cracks began to form at the point of impact from Gu Qingfeng's fist. With a series of cracking sounds, the fractures spread across the Xuanming Turtle's entire body in the blink of an eye.
With a miserable howl, its sky-obscuring body shattered explosively, turning into a shower of falling rocks filling the sky.
Patriarch Xuanming also fell from the Xuanming Turtle.
After this punch, the entire scene fell dead silent, everyone dumbfounded.
Landing in a sorry state, Patriarch Xuanming's expression changed drastically. After a moment of flickering emotions, he hurriedly put on a look of deep remorse, stepping forward and cupping his fists in a salute: "Senior, please spare my life! It is this lowly one who was blind and made a grave mistake. This lowly one is willing to offer my entire fortune, hoping Senior will be magnanimous and show mercy!"
The speed at which Patriarch Xuanming turned hostile was just as fast as his speed of admitting defeat. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he decisively yielded.
"This Emperor already gave you a chance, but you were too useless to take it," Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.
"Must Senior really drive me to extinction?"
Patriarch Xuanming's eyes instantly turned red.
"You can name any condition. As long as I can satisfy it, I will absolutely not refuse."
"Then all of you can just end your own lives right here. Only then will this Emperor be satisfied."
"You forced me to do this!"
Patriarch Xuanming grew desperate. A ruthless and ambitious figure like him, who knew when to bow and when to stand tall, also possessed the courage to perish together with his enemy once driven to a dead end.
Gu Qingfeng's interest was slightly piqued: "It seems you still have a trump card? I hope it can arouse some interest in this Emperor."
"I do indeed have a trump card, but once this move is used, both you and I will die. Now, I will ask you one last time, are you truly unwilling to turn hostility into peace?" Patriarch Xuanming panted heavily, looking like a desperado forced onto the path of death.
"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng burst into boisterous laughter after hearing this: "An ant like you couldn't harm a single hair on this Emperor's head even if you went all out, yet you delusionally wish to perish together with me? I truly don't know where you get the courage to spout such arrogant words."
Being so thoroughly despised by Gu Qingfeng, Patriarch Xuanming instantly flew into a raging fury: "I have been stuck at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal King realm for a long time. Knowing that I cannot survive the Immortal King Tribulation, I have used various methods to suppress the heavenly tribulation. The longer it is suppressed, the greater the power of the tribulation becomes.
"If you remain obstinate, I will trigger the Immortal King Tribulation and perish together with you!
"So what if your strength is formidable? The Immortal King Tribulation will increase in power according to the strength of those involved in it. As strong as you are, you will die all the same!
"So you had better think this through clearly."
Obviously, Patriarch Xuanming did not want to die, so he kept threatening Gu Qingfeng, hoping he would back down in the face of difficulties.
It was just a pity that Patriarch Xuanming was not from the Sixth Star Ruin and did not know of Gu Qingfeng's reputation. Otherwise, even if he were given ten times the courage, he would never dare to mention heavenly tribulations in front of the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor.
For a moment, Gu Qingfeng laughed even louder.
"Jiejiejie... You dare to mention the Immortal King Tribulation in front of me, the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor? Do you even have the capability?"
Gu Qingfeng's laughter was filled with extreme contempt, as if he were mocking a dancing clown.
This deeply stung Patriarch Xuanming's heart.
"Laugh! You still dare to laugh! What bullshit Heavenly Tribulation Emperor! In a moment, I will make it so you can't laugh anymore!"
Patriarch Xuanming was pushed to the brink. He directly released his own restrictions, and the terrifying might unique to the peak of the Quasi-Immortal King realm erupted, shooting straight into the clouds.
A moment later, his aura connected with the Eternal True World, and an extremely oppressive heavenly might descended from the sky, enveloping the entire scene.
Rumble—!
Heavenly thunder exploded above the Nine Heavens. Dark clouds instantly blotted out the sun and sky, and fierce winds howled, creating an apocalyptic scene.
"Die together with me!"
With bloodshot eyes, Patriarch Xuanming charged madly at Gu Qingfeng like a cornered beast fighting for its life.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators were frightened out of their wits. They fled madly into the distance, terrified of being caught in the crossfire of the Immortal King Tribulation. For a time, the scene was thrown into complete chaos.
Facing Patriarch Xuanming's suicidal charge, a sinister smirk curled the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth, and he casually reached out and slapped down.
Countless taboo demonic patterns flickered and burned on his palm, bursting with blinding demonic light. It transformed into a heaven-supporting giant hand, just like the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain, easily suppressing Patriarch Xuanming with a flip of his hand.
The scene was extremely comical.
The ferociously charging Patriarch Xuanming was slapped to the ground before he even reached Gu Qingfeng. The massive palm pinned his body down, leaving only his head exposed.
Patriarch Xuanming's eyes widened until they nearly tore apart. He never expected that in front of Gu Qingfeng, he couldn't even manage to perish together.
He had originally wanted to entangle Gu Qingfeng so that both of them would be struck to death by the Immortal King Tribulation. But now, he hadn't even touched the corner of the other party's clothes before being suppressed himself.
As long as Gu Qingfeng distanced himself from the range of the Immortal King Tribulation right now, the only one who would be struck to death in the end would be himself.
He, Patriarch Xuanming, had become an absolute joke, drawing lightning to kill himself.
His eyes instantly turned dull and filled with despair.
However, to his surprise, Gu Qingfeng did not step out of the range of the Immortal King Tribulation. Instead, he drew closer and closer.
Gu Qingfeng stood beside Patriarch Xuanming, looking down at him from above.
Patriarch Xuanming was dumbfounded. He was confused, utterly confused. Seeing that the heavenly tribulation was about to fall, he voiced the final question of his life: "What exactly are you trying to do?! Why aren't you leaving the range of the Immortal King Tribulation?"
"Leave?" Gu Qingfeng cast a disdainful glance at him and laughed maniacally. "Heh heh heh... Why should this Emperor leave? Not only will this Emperor not leave, but I will even help you transcend your tribulation and become an Immortal King!"

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
