Shi Tianlu was a middle-aged man in a purple robe who exuded an unyielding authority without even needing to show anger. As an elder of the Jietian Sect, he had long cultivated the aura of a superior, possessing an immensely heavy presence.
He and Gu Qingfeng stood facing each other from afar high up in the firmament, with crowds of onlookers standing in the extreme distance all around.
As a battle between Immortal Kings, no one dared to get too close for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
Those who were capable of watching the battle were basically all powerhouses with considerable strength, so they could see clearly no matter how far away they were.
Gu Qingfeng wore a white robe, standing tall and proud. He carried a smile on his face that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, looking confident and calm.
"Is this Dao Child Jietian? To still be so composed when facing a late-stage Immortal King expert, he truly lives up to his reputation as the number one genius of the Jietian Sect," someone sighed with emotion.
"The number one genius of the Jietian Sect? That is old news. Ever since he survived at the hands of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor and broke through to the Immortal King realm after undergoing a rebirth, rumors have long spread outside that he is the number one genius of the Meteor Abyss."
"Heh, so what if he is the number one genius of all eternity?" someone from another faction mocked.
"A newly advanced Immortal King fighting against a veteran powerhouse at the late stage of the Immortal King realm. The two sides are simply not on the same level. He will definitely lose this battle!"
People from other factions held a lot of resentment toward Dao Child Jietian because their own geniuses were still rebuilding their cultivation, yet Dao Child Jietian had already proven his Dao and become an Immortal King. How could anyone feel balanced in their hearts?
Right when everyone was discussing animatedly, Shi Tianlu spoke.
"Daozi Ye, you should not be competing for the position of Sect Master."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng immediately wanted to retort: You old bastard, what the hell are you? Who are you barking at?
But in order to maintain his persona, he had to say euphemistically, "Elder Shi, are you trying to teach this Dao Child how to do things?"
His plain words carried an indescribable sarcasm.
As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd was in an uproar.
Those who were familiar with Ye Chu suddenly felt that his persona was crumbling a bit.
In the past, Dao Child Jietian was a gentle and polite existence, especially when facing his seniors.
Who would have thought that his tone would be so arrogant today?
Did he let it get to his head after breaking through to the Immortal King realm?
Or could it be that he and Shi Tianlu had a grudge to begin with?
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt displeased in his heart. Are these people all idiots? This Emperor even called him Elder Shi, is that not polite enough?
Speaking so tactfully is called arrogant?
Shi Tianlu frowned, his face turning displeased, and coldly snorted, "It seems that Daozi Ye is determined to get the position of Sect Master. Then let our skills do the talking!"
As soon as his voice fell, the bad-tempered Shi Tianlu directly attacked.
Boom!
The heavens and the earth shook as endless light of purple laws erupted from his body, condensing into a battle spear that tore through the sky and struck toward Gu Qingfeng.
This strike was boundlessly overbearing and invincibly swift. Its terrifying pressure made the audience present feel a sense of suffocation.
"Is this the terrifying strength of the late stage of the Immortal King realm! So strong!"
"No, ordinary late-stage Immortal King experts do not have such might. Shi Tianlu truly lives up to being an elder of an ancient great sect like the Jietian Sect. His foundation is simply too profound."
Countless people exclaimed.
However, Gu Qingfeng inexplicably wanted to laugh when he looked at this strike. Under normal circumstances, he was always too lazy to defend against such a weak attack.
But now he had no choice, so he might as well put on an act.
Gu Qingfeng's hands fiercely formed hand seals, and a huge phantom of a Black Tortoise Dharma Body appeared out of thin air, protecting his entire body.
This Black Tortoise Dharma Body looked as if it were a physical entity. Just by standing there, it crushed the void.
This move was a famous divine ability of the Jietian Sect.
Now that he was Dao Child Jietian, he naturally had to use the divine abilities of the Jietian Sect to fight his enemies.
Bang!
The purple law spear fiercely struck the Black Tortoise Dharma Body.
A deafening collision sound rang out.
The spear pierced through the Black Tortoise Dharma Body with unstoppable force, instantly sending a rain of light splashing everywhere.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Qingfeng was no match, abruptly, Gu Qingfeng clasped his hands together, and the Black Tortoise Dharma Body closely followed his movements.
Its two giant, pillar-like hooves slammed together, forcefully clamping onto this terrifyingly destructive strike.
The law spear, filled with destructive power, could no longer advance a single inch.
Roar!
The Black Tortoise Dharma Body raised its head and roared loudly. Its might shook the heavens and the earth, and its figure remained completely motionless, just like the eternal azure sky, giving people an unshakable feeling.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense series of explosive sounds rang out.
Under the exerted force of the Black Tortoise Dharma Body, the purple law spear actually shattered inch by inch, splashing out countless drops of destructive light rain.
A look of surprise flashed across Shi Tianlu's eyes. "No wonder you have the guts to compete for the position of Sect Master. You really do have some skill, but this is as far as it goes."
He took out a wooden sword and slashed down with it. Immediately, fierce winds whipped up, lightning surged, and the void shattered, forming a terrifying power of the Sword Dao.
That kind of Sword Dao might was exquisite to the peak and fierce to the extreme.
It was time to end this farce.
Gu Qingfeng sighed in his heart, feeling only boredom as he looked at Shi Tianlu going all out.
Swish!
The ancient Immortal King weapon, the Kunwu Sword, abruptly appeared in his hand. After being augmented by Mu Yuhan's sword intent, the current Kunwu Sword possessed an extremely strong might. Although it only had the power of a single strike, it was still a power coming from a half-step Immortal Lord expert, which was simply not something a late-stage Immortal King expert like Shi Tianlu could resist.
"Jietian Sword Stance!"
Since he was putting on an act, he had to go all the way. Gu Qingfeng used a sword technique of the Jietian Sect.
Boom!
A sword slashed out.
A heavy sword curtain that connected the heavens and the earth appeared, filled with terrifying power of laws within.
Once this sword curtain appeared, the entire firmament seemed to be severed, truly living up to the name of Jietian.
Bang!
The Jietian Sword Stance, containing the power of a half-step Heavenly Lord, smashed Shi Tianlu's Sword Dao like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Amidst the splashing rain of light, Shi Tianlu was viciously cleaved flying. The piercingly cold sword qi nearly split him in half. Bathed in blood, he was already heavily injured from a single sword strike.
For a moment, the entire venue lost its voice.
Only after a long while did someone exclaim.
"Is this Dao Child Jietian's true strength? He actually severely injured a late-stage Immortal King expert with a single sword strike!?"
"An early-stage Immortal King counter-attacking a late-stage Immortal King. He truly lives up to being the number one genius of the Meteor Abyss."
"Cough, cough..." Shi Tianlu coughed violently, continuously spewing fresh blood from his mouth as he looked at the proudly standing Gu Qingfeng with a face full of disbelief.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, "Thank you for the match."
Then, he clasped his hands behind his back and turned around to leave, looking extremely suave.
"Wait!" Shi Tianlu suddenly called out to stop him.
Gu Qingfeng frowned. His already limited patience was almost worn out. He was in a hurry to become the Sect Master and then find his master to hand over... to open the eternal era. What are you, a mere ant, dawdling here for?
Only to hear Shi Tianlu say angrily, "I haven't lost! You are cheating! You didn't win against me relying on your own strength, but relying on the Kunwu Sword! Without the Kunwu Sword, you couldn't even hurt a single finger of this old man!"
Shi Tianlu did not see through the methods within the Kunwu Sword. After all, it was a method left behind by a half-step Immortal Lord, so with his eyesight, he naturally couldn't see it.
He just naively thought that the Kunwu Sword was inherently this strong; after all, it was an ancient Immortal King weapon.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead?

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
