Shi Tianlu's expression was exceedingly ugly, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be loosed.
"Heaven-Severing Finger!"
He roared in anger, pointing out a single finger as endless, resplendent immortal light erupted from his fingertip.
Boom!
A brilliant and blinding rain of light exploded, like a blazing sun bursting with infinite radiance, tearing through the void, incinerating heaven and earth, and illuminating the ten directions.
The terrifying energy fluctuations transformed into a torrent that threatened to completely engulf Gu Qingfeng.
However, Gu Qingfeng remained as calm as the breeze, merely flicking his finger.
A tiny arc of lightning flickered at his fingertip. After the arc left his finger and shot into the void...
The world suddenly underwent a drastic change!
Rumble!
An unimaginably deafening clap of thunder exploded.
The tiny spark of lightning instantly expanded, transforming into a blazing, roaring thunder dragon tens of thousands of feet long. A terrifying aura of Heavenly Tribulation shrouded the entire area.
At this moment, all the onlookers present, regardless of their cultivation level, felt their hearts palpitate. It was the oppressive might of Heavenly Might.
Everyone felt a sense of terror as if facing heaven's punishment.
"This is!!" Shi Tianlu's expression changed wildly; he was far too familiar with this aura.
"Heavenly Tribulation!!!"
He had no time to react at all. The terrifying Heavenly Tribulation thunder dragon had already shattered the energy torrent, roaring as it charged toward Shi Tianlu.
Shi Tianlu's face twisted in horror. Under this strike, he actually felt a life-and-death crisis.
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He hastily brought out his previous wooden sword and erupted with his full power. Countless terrifying laws of order converged on the wooden sword.
He desperately tried to resist the thunder dragon.
But the final result was still him being swallowed by the thunder dragon.
Bang!
A charred figure plummeted from the sky, once again smashing a deep crater into the ground.
The crowd present collectively lost their voices.
That's right, Shi Tianlu had lost again.
This was his fourth defeat, and he lost faster each time.
His trusted aides once again stepped forward, pulling him out of the massive crater and hastily pouring medicine into him to heal his injuries.
After a long period of silence, discussions erupted among the crowd.
"Just now... that was the aura of a Heavenly Tribulation, right?"
"That's right, it was a Heavenly Tribulation! It felt a bit like an Immortal King Tribulation, but a hundred times more terrifying!"
"Dao Child Jietian can actually control Heavenly Tribulations!? How is this possible! Although immortal artifacts like Heavenly Thunder Beads can store Heavenly Tribulations, such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation couldn't be stored even by an Immortal King weapon. How did Dao Child Jietian do it?"
At this time, Shi Tianlu had recovered slightly. He was heard asking in horror, "Why can you control Heavenly Tribulations!?"
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. His pupils shrank to pinpricks, and his expression changed drastically. "You are not Dao Child Jietian! You are the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"
World-Destroying Demon Emperor!?
These words seemed to possess some kind of magical power. The moment this name was spoken, all sounds died away, and the world seemed to have been put on pause.
"World-Destroying Demon Emperor!? Why did Elder Shi say that Dao Child Jietian is the World-Destroying Demon Emperor?"
"This joke isn't funny at all. How could Dao Child Jietian be the World-Destroying Demon Emperor? If he is the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, wouldn't all of us present have to die?"
Some of the more alert individuals had already quietly retreated to the back of the crowd upon hearing this title.
In this highly tense atmosphere, Gu Qingfeng merely smiled faintly. "Has Elder Shi been struck stupid by the lightning? Why would you randomly pin the title of that vicious demon on this Dao Child?"
Shi Tianlu said in a panic, "Rumor has it that the World-Destroying Demon Emperor can control Heavenly Tribulations! When he was in the Sixth Star Ruin, he was once known as the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor Monarch. He went around forcing people to undergo tribulations, and after each tribulation, the person undergoing it would be looted completely, and their cultivation base devoured.
Even some immortals whose Heavenly Tribulations hadn't arrived yet would be force-fed immortal pills by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor to forcefully raise their cultivation, forcing them to undergo tribulation!
You can also control Heavenly Tribulations. If you aren't the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, who else could you be!"
After Gu Qingfeng heard this, his face instantly darkened. Who the hell started these rumors?
Isn't this naked slander!
When did this Emperor ever help people finish their tribulations and then devour their cultivation?
That was clearly because a few people had foundations that were too poor, leading to unstable realms after breaking through, putting them at risk of exploding. This Emperor kindly absorbed their excess power to prevent them from blowing up.
"No wonder out of everyone who encountered the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, you were the only one whose cultivation advanced instead of regressing. You must be the World-Destroying Demon Emperor in disguise!!" Shi Tianlu roared in panic.
"Sigh." Gu Qingfeng suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Elder Shi, I respected you as a senior, but I never expected you to be so despicable. Because you are no match for me, you resort to malicious framing?
You told me not to use weapons, so I didn't. You told me not to use poison or curses, and I listened to it all. This time, following your request, I used an orthodox lightning method, yet you frame me as the World-Destroying Demon Emperor?
There are many people in this world who can control Heavenly Tribulations. Many use Heavenly Tribulations to refine Heavenly Thunder Beads. Are they all the World-Destroying Demon Emperor?"
"Don't try to quibble!" Shi Tianlu shouted. "How could a Heavenly Thunder Bead possibly withstand such terrifying heavenly lightning!"
"Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is an ancient Heavenly Thunder Bead I obtained from an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling.
Furthermore, if I were the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, every single person present would have to die!
Who in the entire Jietian Sect could stop me?
Would I need to disguise myself as Dao Child Jietian and sneak in here? What would I be after? Just to fight with you, Shi Tianlu, for the position of Sect Master!?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Tianlu was left completely speechless, because it actually made perfect sense.
Even though he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
Shi Tianlu stubbornly retorted, "Who knows what shady motives you have!"
"Hahaha..." Gu Qingfeng burst into loud laughter. "If I were the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, the immortals of the world would fear me, the Nine Great Star Ruins would dread me, and the Lords of the Forbidden Zones would be terrified of me. Whether in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or the Nine Nether Hells, my name would be chanted. So tell me, why would I be playacting with you right now?
I could flip my hand and destroy the Jietian Sect. Would I need to come here to be the Sect Master?
If I really wanted to hide, would I need to use the exact same methods as the World-Destroying Demon Emperor?"
These words left the crowd looking at each other in dismay, their expressions odd.
That logic was sound.
What kind of figure was the World-Destroying Demon Emperor? An invincible existence in the world who single-handedly annihilated the Six Great Forbidden Zones. Would he need to come here to fight for the mere position of Jietian Sect Master?
And deliberately expose a flaw for you, Shi Tianlu, to discover?
If he really were the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, could you, Shi Tianlu, even discover him?
"You..." Shi Tianlu choked on his words, unable to speak for a long time.
"Shi Tianlu, if you are unconvinced, we can fight again, instead of you using such despicable methods to slander this Dao Child. No one in the entire Jietian Sect can tell that I am the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, but you're the only capable one, is that it?
Are you stronger than the entire Jietian Sect?"
"I..."
"This Dao Child knows what you want to say. Don't you just feel unconvinced because I used the Heavenly Tribulation? Fine, I won't use the Heavenly Tribulation this time either. Let's go again! This Dao Child will make you concede wholeheartedly!" Gu Qingfeng said domineeringly.
Shi Tianlu was completely speechless. The situation was quite awkward now; agreeing wasn't right, and refusing wasn't right either.
