After venting his anger, Gu Qingfeng still did not feel satisfied. He looked at the Forest of Rebirth, filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and threatened, "Sissy, roll out here for this Emperor at once, or I will smash your lair!"
However, no one responded.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes. Immediately, he soared into the sky, his entire body erupting with terrifying, abyssal demonic energy. It coiled around him like flood dragons, gleaming with a bloodthirsty luster.
Within that seething demonic energy, countless hideous demonic gods roared and howled.
Countless demonic patterns, twisting like earthworms, surfaced on his skin, each radiating a forbidden light.
The void behind him constantly distorted, twisting into six terrifyingly boundless black holes.
Such terrifying demonic might was simply like the descent of a Demon Lord!
...
Ten thousand miles away from the Forest of Rebirth.
A massive, radiantly flowing flying sword was crossing the long river of laws.
Standing at the forefront on the tip of the sword was an old man with white hair and a white robe, possessing an immortal's bearing and a Daoist's bones. His temperament was extraordinary, surrounded by immortal radiance, and the profound mysteries of laws flowed within his eyes. He was impressively an Immortal King powerhouse.
Behind him stood several young men and women. They all had dignified and imposing appearances, the men handsome and the women beautiful. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, making them look like immortals themselves.
Their cultivation bases varied in height; there were Quasi-Immortal Kings as well as Great Luo Golden Immortals.
They wore uniform sect attire, clearly belonging to the same sect.
"Master, is the place ahead the Forest of Rebirth, one of the Six Great Forbidden Grounds? Why is the scenery so beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, just like a fairyland?" asked a beautiful, tall woman.
At this moment, the leading White-Robed Old Daoist smiled and said, "That is correct. Ahead is indeed the Forest of Rebirth. You must all remember, never be deceived by appearances. Beneath the most beautiful exteriors lie fatal crises.
Compared to the other forbidden grounds, the Forest of Rebirth is actually relatively less dangerous. As long as you do not go deep inside and encounter those forbidden flower demons, there generally will not be a major problem. The only thing to watch out for is the pervasive poisonous mist within.
Even if an Immortal King powerhouse were to inhale just a single breath of that poisonous mist, they would find it difficult to survive."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped in shock.
"A single breath can poison an Immortal King?! What kind of poison is this to be so terrifying?"
"The poison of the Great Dao," the White-Robed Old Daoist said faintly.
"However, you need not worry. You have already taken the poison-warding pills specially refined by your master. Relying on these pills, as long as you do not enter the depths of the Forest of Rebirth and stay only in the outer periphery, you will be fine for three hours."
"Three hours!? Master, your alchemy skills are unmatched in the world, yet we can only stay in the outer periphery for three hours?"
The White-Robed Old Daoist stroked his beard and smiled. "You must know that there is always a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people. Although your master is proficient in the Dao of Alchemy, legend has it that within all the Six Great Forbidden Grounds, there are forbidden existences above the Immortal King realm. Your master can absolutely not compare to such existences."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped again. "Do such existences truly exist in the Six Great Forbidden Grounds?"
"Naturally. Once, in the First Star Ruin, there was a peak Immortal King who, in order to seek fortune, forcefully invaded this Forest of Rebirth. As a result, after he plunged headlong into the depths of the Forest of Rebirth, nothing was ever heard from him again."
"Nothing was ever heard from him again!?"
"Was there no battle?"
The White-Robed Old Daoist shook his head. "There were no signs of battle whatsoever. After that peak Immortal King entered, he simply vanished without a trace and never walked out again."
At these words, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Seeing their fear, the White-Robed Old Daoist couldn't help but chuckle. "You do not need to be afraid. I brought you out today firstly to see the world and curb your arrogant tempers, and secondly to pick some poisonous herbs in the outer periphery.
Although the Forest of Rebirth is terrifying, as long as we do not go deep, it is fine. Once we finish picking the herbs, we will leave immediately. We absolutely must not linger.
Furthermore, in this Forest of Rebirth, there is one taboo that you absolutely must not violate. Once violated, it is highly likely to alert that forbidden existence. At that time, no one will be able to save you."
"Dare we ask Master, what is this taboo?"
Seeing how serious their master was, they couldn't help but ask earnestly.
"The taboo is, you absolutely must not pick the flowers!"
"Pick the flowers!?"
"Correct. Legend has it that the master of the Forest of Rebirth is a flower demon, and thus cherishes flowers dearly. Therefore, in the Forest of Rebirth, you can do anything, but you must absolutely never touch the flowers!
No matter how inconspicuous the flower is, it is forbidden! Not only can you not pick them, you cannot even touch them!
Later, when we enter, everyone must fly three feet above the ground to prevent trampling the flowers. Do you all understand?"
"We understand!"
Although these disciples came from a major sect and were all geniuses, facing a terrifying forbidden ground that even Immortal Kings feared, no matter how arrogant they were, they did not dare to be the slightest bit willful.
"Good, prepare to enter the Forest of Rebirth!"
"Yes, Master!"
Just as his voice faded.
Boom!
An explosive sound rang out, making everyone's chests feel tight and their minds oppressed.
Everyone was instantly startled.
The leading White-Robed Old Daoist wore a face full of solemnity and hurriedly stopped everyone from stepping into the Forest of Rebirth.
"What is that sound? It seems to be coming from the depths of the Forest of Rebirth."
"Halt! Everyone stay where you are, do not enter," the White-Robed Old Daoist said sternly.
This sudden sound made him somewhat worried. Despite speaking casually earlier, he was actually quite terrified in his heart toward a horrifying forbidden zone like the Forest of Rebirth.
Any unusual rustle of the wind in the grass would make him jumpy, seeing enemies behind every tree.
"You all stand here and do not move. Your master will go take a look first..."
Before the White-Robed Old Daoist could finish speaking, suddenly!
An unimaginably terrifying pressure descended.
That pressure rose from the depths of the Forest of Rebirth, spreading wildly in all directions like a hurricane or a tsunami. When the pressure fell upon them, everyone felt their bodies stiffen, unable to move a single muscle.
It was as if they were being stared at by some unimaginable existence.
The White-Robed Old Daoist's expression instantly changed drastically. "Not good, could it be that the forbidden existence in the Forest of Rebirth has awakened!?"
Just as his voice fell, a female disciple suddenly screamed in terror.
"Ah! There... there is someone!" she pointed trembling at the sky.
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and instantly froze on the spot.
Because they saw an unimaginable existence.
A demonic god entirely entwined in terrifying demonic energy, with crimson demonic light gleaming in his eyes, and six abyssal black holes revolving behind him!
Looking directly at him was like looking directly into the abyss. With just a single glance, everyone felt countless terrifying anomalies flood their eyes.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the reincarnation of the other shore, billions of evil demons...
Even though their eyes clearly saw a person, the feeling in their hearts was as if they had seen the ultimate evil of the world, the supreme evil demon, the Demon Lord of the abyss!
"What... what in the world is this!!" the White-Robed Old Daoist lost his composure and cried out on the spot.
"Jie jie jie..."
Suddenly, a terrifying, sinister laughter resounded through heaven and earth. Like a demonic voice piercing their ears, some of the Great Luo Golden Immortals with weaker cultivation bases were immediately filled with horror and vomited blood on the spot.
"This Emperor gave you a chance, but you won't come out, right? Good! Very good! Today, this Emperor will destroy your Forest of Rebirth!!"
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!
