The Aura of the Chosen One

W-World-Destroying Demon Emperor!! Dao Child Jietian and his companion were instantly scared pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Y-you... you have already devoured our power and taken the Universe Ring, what else do you want! Dao Child Jietian said tremblingly.

What do I want? A sinister smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's lips. Naturally, this Emperor wants to replace you and become the Child of Destiny!

Replace me!? Dao Child Jietian was shocked. You... Ah...

Before he could finish his words, he let out a miserable shriek.

It turned out that Gu Qingfeng had already made his move. Opening his large hand, a terrifying suction force was generated from his palm, instantly pulling Dao Child Jietian right in front of him.

A massive hand pressed firmly onto his head.

Dao Child!! Martial Uncle Qin, who was beside him, roared with his eyes nearly splitting open. He desperately tried to rush forward to save him, but having not yet recovered his strength, he could not even move a single finger under this monstrous demonic might, as if a ten-thousand-foot divine mountain was pressing down on his body.

Gu Qingfeng executed the Fortune Snatching Art, his eyes shining with golden light. In his vision, he unexpectedly saw a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden dragon of destiny coiling around Dao Child Jietian.

Such majestic destiny, truly worthy of a Child of Destiny. It is only right that it be used by this Emperor!

Fortune Snatching Art!

As Gu Qingfeng unleashed the Fortune Snatching Art, an invisible suction force emerged from the void, acting upon the golden dragon of destiny.

Roar!

As if feeling offended, the golden dragon of destiny looked furious and roared violently.

However, destiny was inherently formless and intangible. It lacked offensive capabilities, so naturally, it could not harm Gu Qingfeng.

But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Roar!

A soul-shaking roar echoed from the bottom of the River of Laws.

Immediately after, monstrous waves surged on the River of Laws, as if some ancient ferocious beast was stirring up a storm.

A cold sneer curled the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth. Here it comes, the halo of the Child of Destiny has activated. This Emperor knew things wouldn't be this simple.

According to usual tropes, whenever these Children of Destiny encountered danger, various accidents would inevitably occur to obstruct their demise. Sure enough.

The next moment.

Bang!

A massive sound rang out as the golden-dragon-shaped treasure ship seemed to suffer an attack from a terrifying external force, shattering into pieces.

Above the River of Laws, a giant green-scaled python suddenly appeared. It was about ten thousand feet long, hideous and terrifying. Frightening green flames burned on its body, and its vigorous vitality crushed the void, exuding boundlessly violent might.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng appeared unscathed above the River of Laws, his hand still gripping Dao Child Jietian.

The green-scaled python looked at Gu Qingfeng, its eyes shining like blazing suns. It hissed continuously, sounding like booming thunder that shook the heavens and the earth.

What dense power of destiny. If this seat devours this child, I will definitely be able to break free from the constraints of this River of Laws! the green-scaled python spoke in human language.

This giant python was a creature of laws born within the River of Laws. Its strength was earth-shattering, having long surpassed the level of an Immortal King, enough to rival a Half-Step Immortal Lord. However, because it was born in the River of Laws, it possessed the unique advantage of manipulating the power of laws, yet this very power also restricted it, preventing it from moving freely.

When Gu Qingfeng was absorbing the golden dragon of destiny, the green-scaled python immediately sensed it. Feeling the massive destiny, it understood that this was the key to its escape. As long as it devoured this person of destiny with such vast fortune, it could gain freedom.

Upon seeing the green-scaled python, Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback at first, but then a sinister smile formed on his lips. Are you the Child of Destiny, or is this Emperor? This isn't here to save you; it is clearly here to deliver a free gift.

In fact, Gu Qingfeng had already guessed the subsequent development. Under normal circumstances, the Child of Destiny would be saved by the green-scaled python. However, this rescue would most likely involve being swallowed, and after swallowing him, the python would flee back to the bottom of the river.

Then the villain would assume the Child of Destiny was dead and find no need to go deep into the River of Laws to seek trouble with the green-scaled python, leaving the matter unresolved.

In reality, the Child of Destiny wouldn't be dead. In the belly of the green-scaled python, he might obtain some serendipity. When the time came, not only would he survive, but his strength might also increase drastically, leading him to subdue the green-scaled python along the way.

Wasn't the green-scaled python trapped in the River of Laws?

This was simply a mount blatantly prepared for the Child of Destiny. Once the Child of Destiny took action, the green-scaled python would definitely escape its trap and acknowledge him as its master in passing.

What a pity, though, that this villain was no ordinary villain!

The green-scaled python coming here was clearly just delivering a gift.

Hand over the person in your grasp, and this seat can spare your life! Seeing that Gu Qingfeng's aura was not weak, the green-scaled python did not want to engage in a life-and-death struggle either.

Of course, it believed it was not inferior to Gu Qingfeng, because as a creature of the River of Laws, it was invincible above the River of Laws!

Even if it couldn't win, it could hide at the bottom of the river, able to advance to attack or retreat to defend.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at it disdainfully and sneered, You seem very arrogant, huh?

Then this Emperor wants to see what capital you have to be so arrogant!

The green-scaled python's gaze turned cold. It seems you are courting death!

Boom!

The green-scaled python violently whipped its tail. The thick snake tail swept over like a heavenly pillar, coiled with terrifying power of laws.

Even though it was just a simple horizontal sweep, it released an immeasurable, awe-inspiring momentum that could cleanse the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Under this tail strike, before it even touched Gu Qingfeng, the intense might had already completely annihilated the void surrounding him.

A mocking smile flashed across Gu Qingfeng's lips. While one hand frantically extracted Dao Child Jietian's destiny, he lightly raised his other hand, actually preparing to catch this strike barehanded.

Bang!

A violent sound of collision rang out.

The green-scaled python's tail seemed to have crashed into an unshakable divine mountain. Gu Qingfeng's figure did not budge an inch. Demonic energy spewed from his hand, transforming into a heaven-supporting demonic claw that firmly gripped the snake's tail.

What!! The green-scaled python was instantly horrified. It frantically pulled its tail, yet Gu Qingfeng's hand remained completely immovable.

Growing desperate, it immediately opened its large mouth and spewed out endless green flames. These were flames condensed from several types of law powers, something an ordinary Half-Step Immortal Lord wouldn't dare touch lightly.

However, Gu Qingfeng treated it as nothing, allowing the green flames to burn him. Accompanied by the sound of system notifications, the power of the green flames rapidly surged into his body.

This time, the green-scaled python truly panicked. It hadn't expected its trump card to be useless against Gu Qingfeng. Making a prompt decision, it spat out a ten-thousand-foot green light from its mouth, cascading from the sky like a bursting dam, violently hacking down onto its own tail.

Crack!

The snake tail was severed.

The green-scaled python turned around and prepared to dive right into the River of Laws.

But Gu Qingfeng was already prepared.

Tentacles of the Ghost God!

The void surrounding the green-scaled python instantly twisted into a dense cluster of black holes, and billions of thick, hideous tentacles reached out from within.

They entangled the green-scaled python. It struggled violently, but unfortunately, the outcome had long been decided. Who asked it to be a creature born in the River of Laws? The more violently it struggled, the faster it would die.
