Burial Heaven Forbidden Zone

Gu Qingfeng's face immediately fell.

He consoled himself, Perhaps he is sleeping.

So he picked up the invitation, infused it with his mana to activate it, and tossed it into the air.

He called out loudly again, Fellow Daoist Gu, please come out for a chat!

Smack!

The invitation still had no reaction and fell back to the ground.

Gu Qingfeng froze on the spot. He looked at the invitation on the ground and the precious gifts in his hands, speechless for a long time.

Deep within the Heaven Burial Forbidden Zone, inside a dim underground palace, a burly and domineering man in black armor sat high on the main seat. Below him stood several imposing figures in black robes, all possessing the cultivation base of Immortal Kings.

The black-armored man was none other than Gu Zangtian, and the people beside him were the subordinates he had sheltered since the previous era.

Gu Zangtian's gaze pierced through layers of mist and landed on Gu Qingfeng outside, his expression gloomy.

In Gu Qingfeng's eyes, he was being perfectly polite, bringing gifts and sincerity to visit.

But in Gu Zangtian's eyes, a demon god wearing human skin had arrived outside, wearing a hypocritical smile and shouting with insulting gifts.

The general meaning was: I brought a low-grade immortal jade to buy your life, so roll out here right now!

My Lord, that vicious demon has really come. What should we do? Leng Lie asked, his face full of worry.

Gu Zangtian kept a dark face and said nothing.

At this time, another person stepped forward and said, My Lord, this subordinate suspects a trap. Could that Hua Caiyu be deceiving you?

Gu Zangtian said in a deep voice, No. Hua Caiyu loves flowers more than anything in his life. Even if he really colluded with Gu Qingfeng to scheme against me, he would absolutely never allow the other party to destroy the Reincarnation Forest.

Since the Reincarnation Forest was destroyed, it means the outcome between the two of them is definitely a fight to the bitter end.

Also, Leng Lie, you mentioned earlier that when you saw Gu Qingfeng, the Ghost Mother was being held in his arms and played with wantonly. Is this true?

Leng Lie nodded. It is indeed true. At the time, this subordinate even suspected that the Ghost Mother was an imposter. A majestic half-step Immortal Lord expert acting as frivolous as a brothel woman. Moreover, she seemed to have lost her cultivation, possessing not a shred of imposing aura.

Gu Zangtian nodded. Then there can be no mistake. It seems both the Ghost Mother and Hua Caiyu have been defeated by Gu Qingfeng. The Ghost Mother has a fierce reputation; killing people and refining their souls is commonplace for her. Normally, if a man so much as looked at her an extra time, she would kill him, let alone allow herself to be held and played with wantonly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

To think this demon is so ferocious, defeating two half-step Immortal Lord experts in a row!

There were also those who had blind faith in Gu Zangtian.

One snorted coldly, Hmph, how can the likes of the Ghost Mother and Hua Caiyu be compared to the Lord? If the Ghost Mother didn't cultivate reincarnation, she wouldn't even have survived the era tribulation. Hua Caiyu's strength entirely relies on his poison arts. Our Lord's strength is the real deal!

You can't say that. The Lord's strength is naturally beyond doubt, but don't forget the news from Hua Caiyu. This demon Gu Qingfeng is suspected of cultivating an extremely wicked devouring demonic art. The Ghost Mother lost all her cultivation; wasn't that because she was devoured by him?

This means that this demon's current cultivation is likely equivalent to at least two half-step Immortal Lords.

And then there's Hua Caiyu. Although his direct combat strength is lacking, he roamed the previous era unchallenged relying on his poison cultivation. No one dared to provoke him. Yet Gu Qingfeng was not afraid of his poison. What does this mean? It means this demon very likely possesses an extremely high level of poison cultivation as well!

While the crowd was discussing.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering furious roar rang out.

Gu Zangtian, get the hell out here right now!!

The furious roar echoed through the heavens and the earth, turning into rolling sound waves that spread across the entire Heaven Burial Forbidden Zone.

Gu Zangtian's face instantly darkened, and his subordinates were filled with righteous indignation. A subject dies when their master is humiliated. For these subordinates, having their master insulted was simply worse than death.

Gu Zangtian immediately stood up with a bang, unable to contain his anger.

How dare this scoundrel be so arrogant! I must teach him a lesson today!

My Lord, you must not!

Leng Lie turned pale with fright and hurriedly stopped Gu Zangtian.

My Lord, this demon's fierce reputation is currently at its peak, and his true strength is unknown. You absolutely must not attack rashly.

Do you think I am no match for him? A dangerous cold glint flashed in Gu Zangtian's eyes.

Leng Lie hastily explained, My Lord is unrivaled in the world, so naturally it is impossible for you to be no match for this demon. But My Lord, you are currently suffering from a deep curse, and your strength has not yet recovered. Furthermore, this demon's battle record is extremely terrifying. Against such a strong enemy, it will be difficult to win without taking damage. Once you are injured and suffer the backlash of the curse, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?

Seeing that Leng Lie's words were well-reasoned, Gu Zangtian immediately calmed down and returned to his seat.

In truth, he never intended to go out at all. The reason he put on such a posture was merely to put on a show for his subordinates. After all, when someone bullies their way to your doorstep, if the boss has no reaction, how can he convince the masses in the future?

Even Leng Lie clearly understood the pros and cons, so how could he not know?

The key was that he couldn't say these words himself. Saying them would lose him a lot of face and make him seem too cowardly. He could only let his subordinates say it, giving him a way to step down.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook violently, the void twisted and collapsed, and turbulent currents of time and space wreaked havoc. The entire Heaven Burial Forbidden Zone was instantly turned upside down.

It turned out to be Gu Qingfeng taking action. Seeing Gu Zangtian cowering and refusing to come out, he attacked directly out of anger.

That massive black mountain range, which resembled a pillar of heaven, was completely flattened by him!

Such a fierce attack made everyone pale in horror, because they were hiding in the underground palace right beneath the mountain range.

The residual momentum of this strike continued unabated, rushing straight underground.

At this moment, Gu Zangtian could no longer hide. He struck out in shock and anger. A patch of eerie green light emerged from his palm, turning into a protective barrier that covered his subordinates, finally blocking the blow.

Jiejiejie... So you were hiding here!

Gu Qingfeng let out a sinister laugh and charged over like a teleporting flash without the slightest hesitation.

After all, having learned from past mistakes, he had to end the battle quickly to prevent the other party from escaping.

Endless demonic light burst from his body, as if piercing through the past, present, and future, releasing a terrifying, taboo aura.

In a trance, the crowd seemed to see a corner of the abyssal demonic purgatory, with billions of demon gods roaring inside.

At this instant, all the experts present, including Gu Zangtian, changed their expressions in horror, their bodies and minds trembling violently.

Cease your arrogance!

Gu Zangtian roared in anger and struck out furiously.

A dark green long saber appeared in his hand, and he slashed out.

Boom!

The surrounding heaven and earth were instantly torn apart by the terrifying saber aura. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, the void collapsed, and the river of laws surged.

At this moment, Gu Zangtian was like the emperor of sabers.

Facing this slash, Gu Qingfeng did not dodge. The six black holes behind him rapidly twisted and rotated, meeting the attack head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions rang out.

The terrifying saber aura instantly shattered inch by inch, completely disintegrating.

And Gu Qingfeng's six black holes also collapsed and vanished.

Under one clash, they actually fought to a draw.

Gu Qingfeng became excited. He didn't expect Gu Zangtian to actually be this strong. Devouring him would definitely boost his strength by a significant margin.

Jiejiejie... Finally, I've met a character worthy of a fight.

In stark contrast to Gu Qingfeng's excitement, Gu Zangtian's expression was incredibly gloomy. Afflicted by a curse, he was unable to engage in continuous, high-intensity combat. If a battle against an expert of the same caliber dragged on for too long, he would inevitably fall at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, since this demon Gu Qingfeng excelled at the art of devouring, his foundation and inner reserves far exceeded Gu Zangtian's own. If this turned into a war of attrition, his defeat was absolutely certain.
