A moment later, the green-scaled giant python transformed into a sky full of light rain and dissipated from the world.
Gu Qingfeng smiled disdainfully, "This Emperor would like to see who can stop me!"
He continued to increase his effort in absorbing the Golden Dragon of Destiny.
The Golden Dragon of Destiny began to wither at a visible rate, its roars growing fainter and fainter.
However, right at this moment.
Boom!
A sudden loud bang echoed in the sky. A mass of black tribulation clouds, thick as ink, condensed out of thin air, instantly blotting out the sun and covering the entire firmament.
An oppressive aura of heavenly tribulation subsequently spread out.
Gu Qingfeng was slightly startled. "Heavenly Tribulation? Immortal King Tribulation?"
He never expected that he was about to undergo the Immortal King Tribulation. Just because he had touched the Child of Destiny, he had actually triggered the Immortal King Tribulation.
Were the Heavens really this unreasonable?
But on second thought, he understood. It was the green-scaled giant python!
The green-scaled giant python was a taboo creature born in the River of Laws, a great tonic when consumed!
He had already nearly broken through to the Immortal King realm after his previous contact with the Epoch Fire. Now, having devoured the green-scaled giant python made from the crystallization of laws, he directly kicked open the final door. He was about to become an Immortal King.
Gu Qingfeng certainly didn't believe it was a coincidence. He had helped others survive many Immortal King Tribulations, but his own was clearly different this time.
That terrifying pressure would make anyone unaware think it was a Half-Step Immortal Lord undergoing tribulation.
Even ten Immortal Kings undergoing tribulation together wouldn't have such terrifying might!
He hadn't done anything heinous, and had always been kind to others in his daily life. Why did he have to suffer such a catastrophe?
It must be the Golden Dragon of Destiny acting up.
Destiny was just like this. Although it lacked direct lethality, it could infinitely magnify all unfavorable factors and attribute all favorable ones to itself.
Just like now. The Immortal King Tribulation would come sooner or later, but it appeared neither early nor late, exactly when the Golden Dragon of Destiny was about to be devoured. It was self-evident.
Gu Qingfeng looked up at the terrifying Immortal King Tribulation in the sky, a ferocious sneer appearing on his lips.
As time passed, the tribulation clouds above the firmament grew thicker and heavier.
The surrounding void and the River of Laws seemed to plunge into boundless darkness. The terrifying aura of calamity made the River of Laws surge without any wind.
"So, who is the real Child of Destiny here? Why does this Emperor feel there's no need to devour the Golden Dragon of Destiny at all?"
Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly. When luck came, it truly couldn't be stopped. First, it delivered powerful family members, and now it was delivering a heavenly tribulation.
Could it be that because he was constantly devouring the Golden Dragon of Destiny, his own destiny had become more vigorous, leading to such benefits?
Gu Qingfeng couldn't figure it out anymore, nor did he want to.
Sometimes, when food reaches your mouth, you just eat it. This is also a kind of happiness, rather than insisting on figuring out which field the food was grown in.
Boom!
The tribulation clouds above churned, emitting muffled claps of thunder. The rumbling resounded through the sky, shaking the void and making the river water flow backward.
Blinding, thick tribulation lightning, like dragons and snakes, darted and surged deep within the clouds, inspiring awe and sending shivers down one's spine.
"It's coming," Gu Qingfeng suddenly said.
Just as his voice fell.
BOOM!!
Every sound between heaven and earth was drowned out by the tribulation lightning.
The tribulation clouds boiled over, and a sheet of lightning tribulation light tore through the darkness, crashing down.
The light was so intense it was like broad daylight, illuminating the cosmos.
"Jiejiejie... let it come even more fiercely!"
Gu Qingfeng laughed maniacally amidst the lightning. Driving the Origin of Calamity within his body, he immediately opened his mouth wide.
Gulp!
That sheet of tribulation light was swallowed entirely into his stomach, like a whale inhaling water, merging into the Origin of Calamity.
"This..." Dao Child Jietian, who had been a captive all along, was dumbfounded. He originally thought his chance had come to escape while the World-Destroying Demon Emperor was undergoing tribulation.
He was familiar with this sort of thing and had experience; his past several narrow escapes from death were all like this.
Those powerful enemies would always encounter various accidents, while he alone would escape, followed by great fortune after surviving a disaster.
But today, Dao Child Jietian felt that this experience was different from the past.
First, the green-scaled giant python was swallowed by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, and now the heavenly lightning tribulation was swallowed too. Was this the Demon Emperor's strength?
Against this kind of existence, he probably wouldn't be a match even after he fully matured, right?
Dao Child Jietian had always firmly believed he was invincible. Those he couldn't defeat now, he would be able to defeat in the future. But after witnessing the overwhelming demonic might of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, he wavered.
The World-Destroying Demon Emperor was truly not something human power could rival!
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng suddenly soared into the sky, grabbing Dao Child Jietian in his hand and charging straight into the tribulation clouds.
He didn't have the patience to wait for the heavenly tribulation to brew.
Dark, taboo demonic light wrapped around his body. With a disdainful posture like a god or a demon, he thrust out a palm, actually intending to tear apart the tribulation clouds and devour them directly.
The tribulation clouds seemed enraged at this moment; heavenly might could not be violated.
The surging tribulation light roared, transforming into rolling thunder that blasted outwards, as if to swallow Gu Qingfeng's figure.
Gu Qingfeng smiled fiercely. Just as he was about to open his mouth to devour it, a dark light suddenly shot out from his Cosmos Ring.
It was none other than Dao Child Jietian's former Ancient Immortal King Weapon, the Kunwu Sword!
The figure of an old man faintly appeared on the Kunwu Sword.
"Boy, after this sword strike, this old man will vanish into thin air. After you escape, cultivate well, and remember to avenge me!"
Swish!
A resplendent sword light slowly rose, dazzling like the sun, illuminating the firmament. It seemed indestructible; no words could describe the terror of this sword qi.
"Jiejiejie... so it's a remnant soul of a Half-Step Immortal Lord from the previous epoch. This Emperor was just saying, how could a Child of Destiny not have a portable grandpa?"
Amidst Gu Qingfeng's wild laughter, the resplendent sword light had already pierced through his chest.
A large hole was instantly blown through his chest. Looking through the hole in his front, one could even see the scenery behind him.
"Boy! Run now, quickly!" The old man roared wildly, and then his soul body vanished into thin air.
The Kunwu Sword let out waves of sorrowful wails, becoming weak and listless.
Dao Child Jietian's eyes were practically splitting open in grief, but he couldn't care about anything else and struggled desperately to run.
However, in the next second, endless calamities rolled in, and the large hole in Gu Qingfeng's chest healed instantly.
At this time, the heavenly tribulation also fell on his head and was directly absorbed by him. For a moment, he bathed in lightning like a heavenly god, his might even greater.
"How is this possible!!" Dao Child Jietian screamed in disbelief.
"Jiejiejie... you think this insignificant trick can stop this Emperor!?"
Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly, frantically absorbing the Golden Dragon of Destiny.
The Golden Dragon of Destiny let out a mournful cry. Seeming to have exhausted its strength, it completely withered away.
At the same time, he thrust out his large hand, turning it into a heaven-supporting demonic claw, and actually grabbed the tribulation clouds above the firmament, swallowing them in one gulp.
Dao Child Jietian completely despaired, his face the color of dead ashes.
And as the tribulation clouds dissipated, the Golden Dragon of Destiny also vanished.
"From today onwards, this Emperor is Destiny!! Jiejiejie..."
Over the River of Laws echoed Gu Qingfeng's imperious, wild laughter, which did not fade for a long time.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
