May There Be No Immortals in the World

The World-Destroying Demon Emperor, the greatest philanthropist?!

The crowd felt as if they had heard a fantasy tale, shocked to the core as if struck by lightning.

Were these really words that the Sect Master of the Heaven-Severing Sect, the number one sect in the First Star Ruin, could say?

At this moment, everyone felt that Gu Qingfeng had gone mad.

Some factions that held grudges against the World-Destroying Demon Emperor and had been persecuted by him immediately cursed out loud on the spot.

"The World-Destroying Demon Emperor killed my disciples, stole my immortal weapons, and devoured countless cultivations, yet you actually call him the greatest philanthropist in the Meteor Abyss?"

A prodigy who had participated in the Immortal King Conference flushed red with anger: "I painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and finally had the chance to advance to Immortal King. Yet, my bitter cultivation was completely devoured by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor in a single day. How does he have any right to be called a good person?!"

As victims spoke up one after another, the wave of condemnation grew louder, and the voices of opposition multiplied.

Human nature was exactly like this: they couldn't afford to provoke the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, but with so many of them here, could they not afford to provoke you, the Heaven-Severing Sect Master?

Gu Qingfeng coldly watched the ants below rebel, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

He said indifferently, "Since ancient times, immortals have used martial prowess to violate taboos. Immortals rely on their formidable strength to act recklessly. It is exactly because of this extreme martial power that the common people are plunged into destitution and living beings are ruined. When immortals battle, they casually destroy territories and realms, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to rend. How many innocent people have died because of this?

For that World-Destroying Demon Emperor to devour your cultivations, does that not make him a tremendously good person?

In this Sect Master's view, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor devoured well! He should devour all the immortals in the world. Only without you high and mighty immortals can a prosperous age of equality for all be created!"

Gu Qingfeng's words were like adding fuel to the fire, directly igniting everyone's emotions. If they weren't currently at the headquarters of the Heaven-Severing Sect, he probably would have already been besieged by the masses.

At this moment, an Immortal King powerhouse stepped forward and said angrily, "Heaven-Severing Sect Master! On what grounds do you say the World-Destroying Demon Emperor is a good person? Could it be that you have long since secretly submitted to that demon?"

"That's right! If you don't give us an explanation today, we will trample your Heaven-Severing Sect flat!"

"Jie jie jie..."

A terrifying and sinister laugh emerged from the Heaven-Severing Sect Master's mouth.

Hearing this familiar laughter, the shouting across the entire venue suddenly stalled.

Gu Qingfeng looked down with a disdainful gaze, arrogantly viewing the gathered heroes.

He paused after every word, "On what grounds? On the grounds that I am the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"

"What!?"

"World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"

The name of a man is like the shadow of a tree!

These words seemed to possess some kind of magical power. As soon as this title was spoken, the entire venue fell dead silent.

Boom!

Gu Qingfeng rose abruptly from the Sect Master's throne. A demonic light flashed, and his figure underwent a massive transformation.

He restored his original appearance, revealing that handsome, god-like countenance and his tall, stalwart posture.

With the manifestation of his true face, the world suddenly darkened, as if plunging into eternal night.

Endless demonic light erupted from his body, weaving together like strands of divine chains, evolving into countless taboo demonic runes that circled his body.

He was clearly standing right before everyone's eyes, yet it felt as if he were standing in an endless abyss, separated by an immeasurable distance—so stalwart, so vast, and so utterly out of reach.

Rumble!

The void in all ten directions trembled, and dark demonic qi spread like a tidal wave.

Everyone present, regardless of their cultivation level, felt in this instant as if they had fallen into boundless darkness. A suffocating sense of oppression spread throughout the venue.

"The... World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"

"Run!!"

"Help!"

Under this terrifying oppression, not a single person present doubted that he was an imposter, because absolutely no one could fake this abyssal demonic qi.

Therefore, the moment Gu Qingfeng's true appearance was revealed, the crowd was scared half to death. They fled madly, unable to muster even the slightest intent to resist in their hearts.

Even those Immortal King powerhouses were no exception.

In fact, the Immortal King powerhouses ran even faster, because Gu Qingfeng was famously known as the Devourer of Immortal Kings.

However, just as the crowd reached the edge of the main peak, an unadorned, lusterless ruler suddenly appeared from the void.

It hung high above the nine heavens, radiating streaks of mysterious, mighty power, completely severing the boundaries of the main peak from the outside world.

"The Heaven-Severing Ruler!!" an elder of the Heaven-Severing Sect screamed for his life.

"The Heaven-Severing Ruler is actually in the hands of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"

In a flash, everyone understood. It turned out that the previous great battle with Shi Tianlu was entirely directed and acted out by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor himself.

Or perhaps, Shi Tianlu's sudden violent outburst to hurt people at the end was controlled by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!

In truth, what Shi Tianlu had said earlier was the real truth!

Boom boom boom!

Countless immortal lights roared, frantically bombarding the array seal, but it was to no avail.

The seal laid down by the peerless Gu Qingfeng could not be shaken by these ants before his eyes.

"Jie jie jie... Immortals are heartless, treating all living beings as ants, stealing the fortunes of heaven and earth, and seizing the luck of the era. Today, this Emperor will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!

Ghost God Tentacles!!"

Gu Qingfeng's body slowly rose, hanging high above the nine heavens. Wrapped in abyssal demonic qi, he looked like a resplendent demonic sun rising.

With his command, the surrounding void and the earth instantly twisted. Countless hideous and terrifying tentacles scrambled out of the void.

In merely an instant, the entire heaven and earth was completely reduced to an ocean of tentacles.

Countless immortals struggled and bobbed in the ocean of tentacles.

Gasps, miserable shrieks, and battle cries shook the heavens.

"Demon! We'll fight you to the death!!"

Seeing no hope of escape, some immortals fought like cornered beasts. Hundreds of immortal lights rushed toward Gu Qingfeng. Various immortal weapons whistled into the air, and diverse divine abilities and immortal spells projected world-shocking phenomena.

The momentum was extremely terrifying. Among them were countless Immortal King powerhouses; such a joint attack was enough to shake even an ordinary half-step Immortal Lord.

Unfortunately, the one they encountered was Gu Qingfeng.

Before these terrifying attacks could even reach him, they were annihilated by the demonic qi swirling around his body.

"What!!"

"How is this possible!?"

"This demon is actually this fierce!"

"Lord World-Destroying Demon Emperor, spare my life! This lowly one is willing to work like a horse and an ox, and serve you faithfully!"

Some smart ones had already begun kneeling and begging for mercy.

"Jie jie jie... This is the posture you should have when facing this Emperor!" Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly at the sky. His black hair danced wildly, and the Sect Master's robes on his body fluttered in the wind, flapping loudly.

For a time, his monstrous demonic might surged to the heavens, enveloping the world.

As more and more tentacles appeared, these immortals had absolutely nowhere to hide and were bound one after another by the Ghost God Tentacles.

A terrifying suction force was generated from the tentacles, frantically devouring the immortals' cultivations.

And as the devouring progressed, the demonic might on Gu Qingfeng's body grew heavier and heavier. The demonic light became ever more resplendent, nearly crushing the heavens and the earth.

Several hours later.

Those once high-and-mighty immortals were now slumped on the ground like dead dogs, densely covering the floor.

However, Gu Qingfeng did not kill them. Of course, those who died from accidental injuries in the chaos didn't count.

He did not want to commit too many sins of slaughter.

Actually, he always harbored a grand aspiration in his heart: hoping for sustainability... hoping for a world without immortals!
