"This laughter, could it be..." The members of the Heaven-Severing Sect, having survived the calamity of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor, felt an instinctive, hair-raising terror the moment they heard this familiar laughter.
A sense of dread, etched into their very genes, surged in their hearts.
The Great Elder, who had just been beaming with smiles, trembled violently and stumbled to the ground.
His expression changed drastically, draining entirely of color, and his voice distorted as he shrieked, "It's the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!! He... He's back!!"
The title 'World-Destroying Demon Emperor' acted like a terrifying curse. The crowd had been harmonious and full of laughter just moments before, but the instant those words were spoken, the entire area fell into an eerie silence.
Following that, countless screams erupted.
"Ah!! The World-Destroying Demon Emperor is here! Run!!"
"Hurry! We absolutely cannot let this demon catch us!"
The people were clearly more experienced than before. This time, Gu Qingfeng hadn't even shown his face; just hearing his laughter was enough to send them fleeing madly without even looking back.
However, a portion of the crowd did not flee. Instead, they edged closer to Immortal Monarch Huangtian, clearly treating him as their pillar of support.
Many felt that although the World-Destroying Demon Emperor was powerful, Immortal Monarch Huangtian was an ancient Immortal Monarch, an unmatched powerhouse who had dominated an entire epoch. Moreover, he possessed a noble character—could he really not deal with this demon?
Not to mention the members of the Heaven-Severing Sect. Their instinctive terror completely stripped them of their ability to think, and they began to flee while screaming.
However, the fleeing crowd soon discovered that the entire mountain peak was enveloped by an indestructible layer of demonic light, resembling an inverted black bowl.
"Not again!?" The Great Elder of the Heaven-Severing Sect broke down. This familiar scene, familiar laughter, and familiar array formation.
It was an unforgettable nightmare, and he never expected this nightmare to become reality today.
Some of the female disciples of the Heaven-Severing Sect felt the tiny bit of magical power they had just painstakingly cultivated back, and began to wail aloud.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
At this moment, Immortal Monarch Huangtian's gentle voice rang out: "Quiet!"
His voice was like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, seemingly containing some supreme power of rules. As the sound waves spread, everyone's emotions were instantly soothed and calmed.
For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Immortal Monarch Huangtian.
Immortal Monarch Huangtian calmly and unhurriedly cast his gaze toward a certain spot in the sky.
The next moment, a towering figure resembling an ancient demon god descended from the sky. Demonic aura loomed ominously, and blood-red light billowed. Within that churning demonic aura, it was as if billions of demon gods were roaring and howling.
"World-Destroying Demon Emperor!!"
When Gu Qingfeng's true form appeared before the crowd, even though Immortal Monarch Huangtian had used his divine ability to soothe their emotions, it was to no avail.
The terror carved into their bones simply could not be suppressed.
Immortal Monarch Huangtian couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected the newcomer to possess such immense deterrence and incite such fear.
"Who might you be, sir?" Immortal Monarch Huangtian asked calmly. He was not panicked in the slightest, as he sensed that Gu Qingfeng's cultivation realm was merely at the Half-Step Immortal Monarch stage.
An opponent of this caliber could be destroyed with a single hand.
"I am the Sect Master of the Heaven-Severing Sect. How dare you come to the Heaven-Severing Sect to preach without my permission? You clearly have no regard for me!" Gu Qingfeng said haughtily, looking down on him as if the person before him was not an Immortal Monarch, but an ant.
Immortal Monarch Huangtian's frown deepened. He hadn't hidden his cultivation realm. Could it be that this person before him couldn't sense the aura of an Immortal Monarch? How dare he be so arrogant?
Or did this person have some other backing, giving him such confidence?
Thus, Immortal Monarch Huangtian turned his gaze to the Great Elder and asked, "Is he the Sect Master of your Heaven-Severing Sect?"
The Great Elder hurriedly moved closer to Immortal Monarch Huangtian, as if seeking his protection, and said in a trembling voice, "He is not the Sect Master of our Heaven-Severing Sect at all! He is the greatest demon in the Meteor Abyss, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor! He is the reason all of us in the Heaven-Severing Sect lost our cultivation!"
"He did it? He did it all by himself?"
"That's right, it's him! He is the number one evil demon in the Meteor Abyss. He commits all kinds of atrocities. Since his debut, who knows how many powerhouses he has killed, how many sects he has destroyed, and how he has gone around devouring the cultivation of others. No one in the entire Meteor Abyss can stop this demon.
I beg Immortal Monarch Huangtian to take action and subdue this demon!" the Great Elder pleaded.
Hearing this, Immortal Monarch Huangtian was immediately relieved. He had thought Gu Qingfeng was so rampant because he had someone backing him, or perhaps he was an evil demon that had popped out from some unknown epoch.
To think that this demon was merely a demon of the current era. What was there to fear?
At the same time, he secretly sneered in his heart, laughing at these people for being ignorant of the world and not knowing what a true powerhouse was.
A mere Half-Step Immortal Monarch realm expert scared you all into this state?
As expected, the current era is unbearably weak, actually allowing a Half-Step Immortal Monarch to run amok?
Truly, when there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey reigns as king.
"What I detest most in my life are evil demons who rely on their strength to run rampant and endanger the world. Since I've encountered you today, then stay here," Immortal Monarch Huangtian said indifferently.
He felt that Gu Qingfeng had appeared at just the right time. It was the perfect opportunity to show off his skills and eliminate the so-called number one demon of the Meteor Abyss with lightning-fast methods. This would definitely attract more people to join the Huangtian Immortal Court.
"Jiejiejie... Truly acting like a whore while erecting a monument to your own chastity. A person who uses the Great Puppet Art to cultivate actually has the nerve to call others evil demons?" Gu Qingfeng sneered.
Immortal Monarch Huangtian's gaze instantly froze. Although his expression remained unchanged, stormy waves had already surged in his heart.
An evil cultivation method like the Great Puppet Art had never been discovered even in his epoch. Yet, in the current era, its true nature had been easily seen through by a Half-Step Immortal Monarch?
How could this be possible!?
"What Great Puppet Art? You demon, death is at your door, yet you still spout nonsense?" Immortal Monarch Huangtian said aloud, but he secretly sent a voice transmission to Gu Qingfeng.
"Boy, how do you know about the Great Puppet Art?"
"Such a lowly and despicable cultivation method, what need is there to hide it? If I were you, I would have openly and honorably devoured them long ago. Why put on an act and preach?" The mockery on Gu Qingfeng's face grew even stronger.
An imperceptible cold glint flashed through Immortal Monarch Huangtian's eyes, but his face remained filled with righteousness. "Absurd! I wish to preach to all living beings, hoping everyone can become like dragons. What does that have to do with an evil demon like you?"
At the same time, he transmitted: "Boy, although I don't know where you learned of the Great Puppet Art, if you want to expose me, you'd better give up on that idea. In the eyes of the crowd, I am justice, and you... are nothing but a universally despised demon. No one will believe you!"
Indeed, Immortal Monarch Huangtian was not wrong at all. In the eyes of the crowd, Gu Qingfeng was the great demon, while Immortal Monarch Huangtian was a highly respected senior.
If Gu Qingfeng chose to reveal the truth, no one would believe his words at all, unless he produced concrete evidence.
However, Immortal Monarch Huangtian still did not understand Gu Qingfeng well enough, nor did he understand what kind of demon could be called the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.
