"You... you want to devour me!?" Patriarch Xuanming exclaimed in shock and anger.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him indifferently and said, "What else? Do you think this Emperor helped you survive the Immortal King tribulation out of sheer boredom?"
"Are... are you joking! How could there possibly be someone in this world who feeds on Immortal Kings?" Patriarch Xuanming's face was full of disbelief.
"For a piece of food, you talk too much."
Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on him.
He immediately reached out a hand. Surges of powerful and unfathomable demonic light manifested into hell, the Nether River, a sea of blood, and other destructive torrents of power, surging toward Patriarch Xuanming and blotting out the sky.
The entire Xuanming Immortal Realm was plunged into massive turmoil. Mountains, rivers, and vegetation were all reduced to flying ash. Even the void seemed unable to bear it, letting out continuous mournful wails.
Shocked and enraged, Patriarch Xuanming fought back.
Around his figure, a perfectly round phantom of profound laws appeared. It slowly rotated like a millstone, crushing the void and radiating a dreamlike blue light.
Boom!!!
An earth-shattering sound of collision rang out.
Radiance rained down from the sky as heaven and earth fell into complete chaos, looking as if they were about to sink into eternal ruin.
When the light and shadows dispersed, the two were already locked in a fierce melee.
Layers of demonic flames burned on Gu Qingfeng's body, while Patriarch Xuanming was covered in the deep blue light condensed from the profound meaning of Xuanming. The two constantly clashed, and the aftershocks of their exchange sent ripples through the void.
Patriarch Xuanming coughed up blood continuously. Every move and stance from Gu Qingfeng carried billions of tons of force. Such power was unstoppable; even if he exhausted all kinds of profound techniques, he could not rival a single punch from his opponent.
Through the continuous battle, he also discovered that Gu Qingfeng was truly only at the Golden Immortal realm. However, his opponent's physical strength and magical power were simply too great—so great that they could completely suppress an Immortal King.
Where the hell did this Golden Immortal pop out from!?
The most terrifying part was that the opponent remained calm and relaxed from beginning to end, showing absolutely no intention of using the seven Immortal King weapons hovering behind him.
Patriarch Xuanming gritted his teeth and hastily brought out a whisk from his body. This was his natal immortal weapon. Following his successful tribulation, it already showed a trend of evolving into an Immortal King weapon. It only needed more refinement in the future to complete the advancement.
But right now, he had no time to refine it and could only use it hastily against his enemy.
He swung the whisk fiercely. The snow-white whisk resembled a Milky Way waterfall rolling backward, whipping up a sky full of law light rain as it swept toward Gu Qingfeng.
A sneer flashed across Gu Qingfeng's mouth. He still did not use any weapons. Instead, he struck out with a palm. His violent physical strength and surging magical power met the attack without any flashy tricks.
The clash between the two generated apocalyptic battle waves that spread across the entire Xuanming waters, kicking up monstrous waves and sending turbulent currents piercing through the air.
Finally, accompanied by a violent roar.
The whisk was snapped inch by inch by the terrifying power.
Patriarch Xuanming violently spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
"For an Immortal King, you are a bit weak." Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, his indifferent words spreading across the entire battlefield.
His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. Although Patriarch Xuanming had advanced to an Immortal King, he was indeed not strong, belonging to the absolute bottom tier among Immortal Kings.
This was related to his long-term practice of plucking yin to nourish yang to improve his cultivation, resulting in a shallow foundation.
Gu Qingfeng was very clear about his current strength. After devouring the heavily injured version of the Star Extreme Immortal King, catching the Star Abyss with his bare hands, and working hard to cultivate with Immortal King Liuyun many times, he could already suppress an early-stage Immortal King. His only shortcoming was that he had not yet condensed his own Eternal Great Dao; otherwise, he could be even stronger.
Although Patriarch Xuanming was a newly ascended Immortal King and far inferior to him in strength, he shouldn't have been this fragile. He was simply a disgrace to Immortal Kings.
The despised Patriarch Xuanming didn't answer at all; instead, he turned around and ran.
What a joke! How could he possibly win against a demon who fed on Immortal Kings? Now that he had finally become an Immortal King, with a wonderful life and more concubines waiting for him, why should he stay and fight to the death?
Patriarch Xuanming thought very clearly. He planned to abandon the Xuanming Immortal City that he had painstakingly managed for many years and make a comeback in another place.
With his status as an Immortal King, he would definitely do better than he was doing now.
Facing the fleeing Patriarch Xuanming, Gu Qingfeng stood in place, not moving an inch. The sneer at the corner of his mouth became even more obvious. His lips moved slightly as he said, "Fall."
As soon as his voice fell, Patriarch Xuanming in the distance was instantly struck as if by lightning. He cried out in pain and then twitched violently, his whole body hunching over like a shrimp.
"You demon! What did you do to me!" Patriarch Xuanming only felt agonizing pain all over his body. All his magical power was like a pool of stagnant water; he couldn't mobilize it at all.
Gu Qingfeng strolled over unhurriedly, looking down at the agonizing Patriarch Xuanming with a disdainful gaze. A sinister smile appeared on his lips. "Run, keep running! Jie jie jie... Do you think an ant like you can escape from this Emperor's palm?"
Patriarch Xuanming's eyes were splitting with rage as he desperately sensed his own condition, trying to find a countermeasure. Suddenly, he abruptly discovered something.
He blurted out, "This is... Great Dao Poison!! When did you poison me!"
Patriarch Xuanming found the cause of his illness; it turned out he was poisoned.
"Jie jie jie... Right when you were undergoing your tribulation."
Naturally, Gu Qingfeng couldn't let a cooked duck fly away. Therefore, as early as during the tribulation, he took advantage of Patriarch Xuanming's distraction to quietly activate his Great Dao Poison Body and poison him, precisely to prevent Patriarch Xuanming from escaping.
"You! Despicable!!" Patriarch Xuanming was both shocked and angry. He hadn't expected an expert like Gu Qingfeng to actually use such a despicable method as poisoning.
"Jie jie jie... Thank you for the compliment. As a reward, become one with this Emperor!"
As Gu Qingfeng spoke, the demonic light in his eyes surged. The void behind him began to twist, and a portal to the Netherworld slowly appeared.
When the portal opened wide, a terrifying suction force was generated from within.
Screaming miserably, Patriarch Xuanming was sucked into it.
Clang.
The door closed, and the person known as Xuanming no longer existed in this world.
After dealing with Xuanming, Gu Qingfeng returned to the Xuanming Immortal City once again.
In the Xuanming Immortal City, there were still some people left who hadn't had time to escape. Seeing Gu Qingfeng arrive, it was as if they had seen a ghost or a god, and they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.
But Gu Qingfeng didn't plan to let all these people escape. This Xuanming Immortal City was clearly a goose that laid golden eggs. He could completely take over this place and then collect fees.
As long as the Xuanming Immortal City continued to exist, he could obtain an endless stream of wealth.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng simply reached behind him, picked up the Heaven Shrouding Umbrella, and gently tossed it into the sky.
The Heaven Shrouding Umbrella instantly emitted endless radiance, rapidly growing larger as it rose into the sky, completely sealing off the entire Xuanming Immortal City.
Seeing the Xuanming Immortal City sealed off, the remaining people were absolutely terrified. Although Patriarch Xuanming was an extremely greedy and lecherous person on ordinary days, at least he wasn't so brutal as to feed on Immortal Kings.
But what about Gu Qingfeng? Even Immortal Kings were food to him. Wouldn't that make people like them mere snacks?

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."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
