"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng threw his head back and laughed wildly, his eyes brimming with mockery. "I should be the one saying that. Your only helper is about to die, and you still aren't making a move?
Oh, right. Even with this old dog, you still have absolutely no chance of winning. You might as well just obediently wait for death."
These arrogant words caused everyone from the Immortal King Palace to furrow their brows.
At this moment, Patriarch Huntian's two underlings could no longer stand by and watch.
The man in beast skins and the five-hundred-pound nun immediately launched an attack, roaring wildly, "Release the boss right now!"
However, before the two could even reach Gu Qingfeng, a terrifying suction force suddenly enveloped them.
In an instant, Patriarch Huntian and his two lackeys were all dragged right in front of Gu Qingfeng.
"Jiejiejie... Become this Emperor's nourishment, all of you!"
Gu Qingfeng frantically devoured the power of the three, reveling in the euphoric thrill of his surging strength.
At this moment, a cold glint flashed through Xu Qingyun's eyes. "Attack!"
The moment Gu Qingfeng had made his move, Xu Qingyun noticed how extraordinary he was. To easily suppress an Immortal King and two Quasi-Immortal Kings with a mere flip of his hand—such strength proved he was absolutely not the trash relying on the Poison of the Great Dao that Li Futu had described.
He was at least at the peak of the mid-stage Immortal King realm, perhaps even the late-stage!
Xu Qingyun was no pedantic fool who sought fair fights. If he were, he would never have founded the Immortal King Palace, nor would he have monopolized the first half of the River of Laws for so long to plunder resources from all directions.
Furthermore, he had important matters to attend to right now. They were preparing to hunt down the Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruin, so he could not afford any unexpected complications. Naturally, he had to take advantage of Gu Qingfeng's distraction to strike a lethal blow, eliminating any risk of getting injured.
Following Xu Qingyun's command, the several Immortal Kings behind him instantly launched their attacks. Of course, he himself did not make a move.
The intelligence indicated that Gu Qingfeng possessed the Poison of the Great Dao. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he was completely unwilling to risk being tainted by such a terrifying substance.
The world instantly became incredibly oppressive.
A tide-like killing intent densely permeated the void.
Li Futu took the lead. The longsword in his hand erupted with ten thousand fathoms of sword qi, slashing forward with the profound mysteries of the laws.
A purple-clad man with flowing hair and beard pressed his hands down. A golden halberd descended from the heavens, carrying billions of rays of golden immortal light. It smashed viciously toward Gu Qingfeng's head with such immense, heavy force that even the void shattered around it.
This was a mid-stage Immortal King expert.
On the other side, the female Immortal King charged through the air holding a red embroidered ball, whipping up billowing red divine flames that could incinerate the eight desolates.
The final Immortal King was a burly man built like an iron tower, his entire body looking as though it were forged from black iron. With a thunderous roar, he transformed into a divine giant with three heads and six arms. All six arms exerted force simultaneously, threatening to overturn the very void itself.
In an instant, this terrifying, heaven-blotting might completely enveloped Gu Qingfeng.
The combined assault of these four was as swift as a thunderbolt and as devastating as a collapsing mountain—incomparably ferocious.
Facing such a terrifying siege, a wildly arrogant sneer of disdain curled the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth.
Ever since he had entered the Dao through the demonic path and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he had never truly displayed his full strength. Now, facing the combined siege of four Immortal Kings, they were barely qualified enough to let him show off just a little.
Gu Qingfeng simply took a single step forward.
Boom!
A deafening boom resounded, like the very collapse of heaven and earth.
A forbidden, chaotic, and utterly berserk demonic might surged from his body. It was as if an apocalyptic demon that devoured all things was finally awakening.
Demonic light exploded in his eyes, and his black hair danced wildly. The void behind him actually distorted to form six bottomless black holes. They emanated a gloomy demonic glow, resembling the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Like a violently trembling abyss, they interwove to produce a mysterious, terrifying, and forbidden aura.
The surrounding heaven and earth collapsed, the sun and moon sank into obscurity, and turbulent currents of time and space surged violently.
Merely standing there, he seemed like an eternally indestructible Demon God capable of destroying the heavens and exterminating the earth. He made the void tremble and forced the myriad Daos into submission. Like the rising of the blazing sun, he caused all the stars to lose their luster.
This terrifying energy expanded outward like a nuclear blast, forming a visible shockwave.
The expressions of the four Immortal Kings changed wildly in an instant. They had never experienced such terrifying demonic might. In the face of this power, they actually felt as insignificant as mere ants.
The berserk impact slammed into their bodies.
The ten thousand fathoms of sword qi snapped inch by inch, the red divine flames were instantly extinguished, the three heads and six arms were all broken, and the billions of golden rays from the golden halberd instantly dimmed.
Bang!
The four of them were directly sent flying away. Their bodies were like broken ragdolls, riddled with holes and streaming with blood.
"Jiejiejie..." The terrifying, maniacal laughter echoed across the entire battlefield.
Looking like a true Demon God, Gu Qingfeng swept his imperious gaze over the crowd.
"From the moment you laid eyes upon this Emperor, your fate was already sealed. And that fate is death!"
The heavily injured four stared at the domineering Gu Qingfeng with expressions of absolute horror, a deep sense of dread rising in their hearts.
Only at this moment did they finally realize that the Poison of the Great Dao, which they had assumed to be his ultimate trump card, was actually his weakest method.
By now, Patriarch Huntian, who had already had the majority of his cultivation drained, was shocked beyond measure. He stared at Gu Qingfeng in utter dismay, finally understanding.
It turned out that the man really hadn't been bluffing!
Without even launching a formal attack, a mere stomp of his foot had sent four great Immortal Kings flying, severely injuring them. With such terrifying strength, no wonder he dared to say that an Immortal King was barely qualified to pull his carriage.
"S-Senior, please spare my life! This old man has been on your side this entire time!" Patriarch Huntian frantically begged for mercy.
Crack!
Gu Qingfeng simply crushed Patriarch Huntian's head until it exploded.
"Do you think someone like you is worthy to stand by this Emperor's side?"
Xu Qingyun, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, was now drenched in a cold sweat.
Just where on earth did this ferocious demon pop out from?!
How could he be so powerful?!
The strength Gu Qingfeng had just displayed far exceeded anything Xu Qingyun could have ever imagined.
How the hell was this merely suspected to be a late-stage Immortal King? This was clearly the kind of strength that only a peak-stage Immortal King could possess!
Experts at the peak of the Immortal King realm were so rare that you couldn't find more than a handful in the entire Falling Star Abyss. So why had no one ever heard of a figure named Gu Qingfeng?
What do I do? What do I do?!
"Your Excellency, if I were to say that everything prior to this was just a misunderstanding, would you believe me?" Xu Qingyun asked, cupping his hands in greeting while breaking out in a cold sweat.
Gu Qingfeng shot him a sinister smile. "What do you think?"
"Uh... I think... Run!!"
Xu Qingyun suddenly bellowed and instantly made his move.
He threw out a chaos-colored spark of flame.
This was his absolute last-resort life-saving trump card. It was incredibly precious, but he couldn't afford to worry about that right now.
The chaos-colored spark swirled with terrifying chaotic flames. Its aura was forbidden and mysterious, permeating the air with an ancient, primordial presence.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding void instantly melted away. The sun and moon lost their luster, leaving only this single streak of brilliant light between heaven and earth. The power of the laws within the void frantically rioted and burned.
After doing all this, Xu Qingyun didn't even bother to wait and see the results. Transforming his magical power into a giant hand, he scooped up the four heavily injured Immortal Kings, turned around, and fled.
And the direction he was fleeing toward was none other than the Yellow Springs Ghost City!
Xu Qingyun knew very well that against an expert of this caliber, simply trying to run away would never allow him to escape the opponent's grasp. Only by entering the Yellow Springs Ghost City would he have a glimmer of hope for survival.
Because within the Yellow Springs Ghost City, there dwelled taboo-like entities. No one dared to start a fight inside; otherwise, the moment they drew attention to themselves, death would be an absolute certainty.
This was also why the forces of the Immortal King Palace had remained stationed outside the Yellow Springs Ghost City, refusing to enter and capture the Immortal King of the Sixth Star Ruin.
It was simply too dangerous inside, and no one dared to cause too much of a commotion.
The twists of fate were truly ironic. The men of the Immortal King Palace had hunted the Immortal King of the Sixth Star Ruin and driven him into the Yellow Springs Ghost City, yet now, in order to evade Gu Qingfeng, they were left with no choice but to enter the ghost city themselves.
