The identity of Gu Qingfeng as the Demon Lord is about to be exposed.

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and struck the ground with his palm.

Boom!

Tens of thousands of mournful wails echoed out.

An unimaginably colossal hand manifested, reaching toward the heavens. Blinding, eerie demonic light coiled around the giant hand, projecting a terrifying vision resembling the eighteen levels of hell. As the palm descended, it was like a bottomless abyss from the netherworld crashing down.

Bang!

Monstrous demonic might was endlessly unleashed. A terrifying torrent of energy spread outward like a tidal wave. The entire Forest of Rebirth instantly suffered an unimaginably violent impact, as if a meteor had struck the earth.

Annihilation!

Everything was dissipating and being annihilated!

Tens of thousands of miles away, the White-Robed Old Daoist and the others were left dumbfounded by this sight.

They originally thought Gu Qingfeng was a taboo existence hidden within the Forest of Rebirth. Who could have expected that not only was he not, but he actually destroyed the forest itself.

At this moment, monstrous waves of shock were already surging in their hearts!

The speculations in their minds about Gu Qingfeng's identity never ceased. What kind of terrifying existence could suppress the taboo of the Forest of Rebirth to the point where it dared not even show itself?

However, before they had time to think it through.

The White-Robed Old Daoist's expression suddenly changed drastically. His entire body erupted with brilliant immortal light to protect his disciples.

Run!!

He screamed as if his life depended on it, sweeping his large hand to scoop up his disciples and began to flee.

It was simply because the aftershock of Gu Qingfeng's strike was too ferocious. Even from tens of thousands of miles away, the spreading shockwave could still easily annihilate an Immortal King.

Seeing the aftershock approaching and feeling its terrifying destructive power, along with the majestic demonic energy filled with an extreme sense of ruin, the White-Robed Old Daoist did not hesitate at all, fleeing with all his might.

He continuously executed various life-saving escape arts. In the blink of an eye, they appeared millions of miles away, completely out of sight of the Forest of Rebirth. Only then did they manage to escape this calamity.

Gu Qingfeng had naturally noticed these people long ago, but he paid them no mind.

Because a person does not go out of their way to step on every ant they see.

Millions of miles away, the White-Robed Old Daoist and his group were still reeling from the shock, the astonishment on their faces lingering for a long time.

After a long while, a male disciple asked in horror, Master, just what kind of existence is that?

He did not even notice that his voice was trembling as he spoke.

Didn't you say that the taboo of the Forest of Rebirth is that the flowers must absolutely not be destroyed? But that person leveled the entire Forest of Rebirth, and the taboo existence never even showed up!

Yeah, yeah, Master, who exactly is that person? He actually destroyed the Forest of Rebirth, one of the Six Great Forbidden Grounds, with a single strike! That's the Forest of Rebirth!

Everyone asked all at once.

Unexpectedly, the White-Robed Old Daoist did not say a word. Just as everyone was feeling confused, the White-Robed Old Daoist's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood spat out from his mouth, and his body staggered. If it were not for the quick reflexes of the disciples beside him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Master!

Master, what happened to you?!

The disciples cried out in alarm.

The White-Robed Old Daoist hurriedly took out several bottles of pills from his robes and swallowed them one by one. Only then did a trace of color return to his face.

However, his face was still filled with unbelievable horror as he said with lingering fear, Thank goodness this old daoist ran fast and shielded you all from the impact. Otherwise, we definitely would have been completely wiped out today.

To think that such a terrifying existence was hidden in this world. Destroying a forbidden ground with a single strike, and the so-called Master of the Forbidden Ground did not even dare to utter a squeak!

Master, what cultivation realm is that person at? To think that just the aftershocks of his attack were so powerful.

What realm? The White-Robed Old Daoist gave a bitter smile. He saw that the other party was merely in the Quasi-Immortal King realm, but destroying a forbidden ground with a single strike... how the hell could that be a Quasi-Immortal King!?

It must be that the other party's cultivation was too high, so high that it was unimaginable, which was why he could not see through it.

How could such an existence be something your master can fathom?

Oh no! The White-Robed Old Daoist suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.

We must hurry back and notify the sect. With such an existence appearing above the River of Laws, the world is about to change!

........

Within the Forest of Rebirth.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the ruins before him, the anger in his heart still unquelled.

Because Hua Caiyu seemed absolutely determined. Even though his most beloved flowers were destroyed, he still would not come out.

Displeased, Gu Qingfeng struck out several more times, shattering all the nearby void and plowing the ground a few more times before finally leaving.

After leaving, he took out the invitation and headed straight for the Heaven Burial Forbidden Zone.

If Hua Caiyu refused to come out, then he would go wreak havoc on someone else. There were six great forbidden zones in total anyway.

As for Yan Lingxue?

She had long been thrown into the world within his palm by Gu Qingfeng, handed over to the Little Corpse Charm to be disciplined.

It was time to let her know how to be a proper female slave.

Speeding along the way, Gu Qingfeng constantly reflected on the experience of this failure. He was still too impatient.

He did not expect that these Half-Step Immortal Lord level experts actually had the trick of hiding within the world of laws.

He should have feigned civility with the other party first, cozied up to them, and then, catching them off guard, struck with the force of a thunderbolt to deliver a fatal blow!

A single failure was not scary. Wherever he failed, he would just pick himself up at another forbidden zone.

However, Gu Qingfeng's idea was good, but reality was cruel.

After he left, several hours passed.

Hua Caiyu appeared out of thin air. Looking at the expanse of ruins before him, his old face turned pale with a hint of green, and green with a hint of purple out of sheer anger.

My flowers!!

Hua Caiyu let out a miserable, shrill scream. Those who did not know better would think he had just lost his parents.

The next moment, monstrous hatred erupted in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, Gu! Qing! Feng!!

You destroyed my life's work, and I won't let you have it easy either!!

Don't you want to devour Half-Step Immortal Lords? I will make sure you don't get your wish!

Hua Caiyu had long colluded with Yan Lingxue, and he had already learned about Gu Qingfeng's information through her.

He knew that Gu Qingfeng was an unforgivably wicked demon who seemed to have cultivated an extremely evil devouring demonic art, going around devouring the cultivation of experts.

Yan Lingxue's Senluo Ghost Realm and all her cultivation were devoured just like that.

It was precisely because of this information that Hua Caiyu chose to join forces with Yan Lingxue, planning to poison Gu Qingfeng, control him, and then lift the curse.

Facing such an evil demonic god, Hua Caiyu naturally would not pin his hopes for lifting the curse on the other party's good intentions, so he and Yan Lingxue had hit it off instantly.

In the end, they still failed, though it was not a complete failure. If it were not for Yan Lingxue's warning, Hua Caiyu might have already had his cultivation devoured by Gu Qingfeng due to a moment of carelessness.

It was exactly because he was mentally prepared in advance that he avoided facing him head-on. Even when facing the Touch of Ghosts and Gods, he had consistently used avatar divine abilities rather than resisting with his true body.

Hua Caiyu's hands rapidly formed hand seals, and his entire person suddenly transformed into an alluring flower over a man's height.

The flower swayed in the wind, continuously emitting waves of strange fluctuations that spread out toward the entire world.

Miraculously, this fluctuation seemed non-existent. Even as it passed through any living creature, no one could detect it.

This fluctuation was neither toxic nor harmful; it did not even have any effect.

But when it touched the flowers, it changed.

Hum!

All the flowers touched by the fluctuation let out a faint, imperceptible hum.

Slowly, more and more flowers were influenced, the area of effect growing wider and continuously spreading. It expanded across the latter half, the middle, and the first half of the River of Laws, eventually reaching out to the various major Star Ruins.

It was like a virus that exclusively infected flowers, spreading from one to ten, ten to a hundred, until it encompassed the entire world.

This was Hua Caiyu's innate divine ability: Commanding the Flora!

He could control all the flowers in the world. Naturally, the vast majority of these were just ordinary flowers; controlling them offered no real combat power against enemies.

However, Hua Caiyu had no intention of using them to fight. His goal was to transmit a message!

Gu Qingfeng, didn't you want to devour the strong?

Then I will expose you. I will let everyone in the world know that you are a fiend who stops at no evil. By then, all the Half-Step Immortal Lord experts will go into hiding, and we will see how you manage to devour anyone!
