"Jiejiejie... Expose you? Why would this emperor expose you?" Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly at the sky, the mockery in his eyes growing ever stronger, looking at Immortal Monarch Huangtian as if looking at a naive fool.
"Expose you, let everyone see your true colors, and then clear my own name? Stop joking around. The things this emperor intends to do are far more evil than yours!
At least you know to hide it when you devour cultivation bases, but this emperor doesn't need to hide at all!
So what if I bear the infamy of the entire world? In all my life's actions, why would this emperor ever need to explain himself to others?
Not only will this emperor not expose you, but I will even help maintain your image. Because only by defeating the powerful and righteous you can this emperor's demonic reputation reach a higher level, plunging the whole world into terror!!
Jiejiejie..."
Immortal Monarch Huangtian sneered inwardly. A madman! This was definitely a complete madman!
To be arrogant enough to disregard everyone in the world.
Even as strong as he was, he only dared to do evil deeds while wearing the cloak of justice, because evil without the wrapping of justice would not get far.
But this World-Destroying Demon Emperor actually didn't conceal it in the slightest. If this wasn't madness, what was?
"Indeed, no matter the era, it is always the most ignorant people who possess a strange kind of courage and inexplicable arrogance.
You think you can run rampant through the Falling Star Abyss, but little do you know, your vision limits your height. You only see the Falling Star Abyss of this current age, while I come from the eternal eras of the past.
The current you could never imagine just how terrifying those experts from the eternal eras, buried within the long river of time, truly were!" Immortal Monarch Huangtian said indifferently, his face always carrying a lofty aloofness, like an immortal or Buddha looking down at ants on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingfeng laughed excitedly at this moment, "Jiejiejie... That's the expression, exactly, that's the expression. This emperor really hasn't seen this kind of expression in a long time. People nowadays only feel fear when they see this emperor.
There's no longer the thrill of slapping faces like there used to be.
You must keep this expression for a while longer. It would be best if you could be a bit more disdainful, a bit more arrogant. That way, when you are trampled under this emperor's feet later, the contrast in your expression will be great enough, the impact will be strong enough, and it will bring this emperor even more pleasure."
"Hmph!" Immortal Monarch Huangtian sneered. In his heart, he already considered Gu Qingfeng a reckless clown and was unwilling to waste any more words, immediately making his move.
He struck out with a palm, and instantly the color of the sky changed, and the heavens and earth shook.
Boom!
Accompanied by endless immortal radiance, a giant handprint that blotted out the sun descended from the sky, pressing down viciously toward Gu Qingfeng like a massive mountain.
That terrifying pressure spread out, instantly shattering the void. The nearby space and time seemed to suffer a dreadful impact, and the entire First Star Ruin began to shake violently.
Countless living beings scattered throughout the First Star Ruin all turned pale with horror at this moment, filled with fear and unease, as if witnessing the descent of an apocalyptic catastrophe.
The immortals present were all dumbfounded. They never expected that the always gentle Immortal Monarch Huangtian actually possessed such terrifying, destructive power.
A savage grin appeared on Gu Qingfeng's lips. His robes fluttered as he pointed out a finger.
Boom!!
Billions of forbidden, gloomy demonic lights shot up into the sky, like a straight spear piercing through the order of space and time. Wherever it passed, all things were annihilated.
The two terrifying attacks collided together.
The next moment, the heavens and earth trembled violently. A torrent of destructive power spread wildly, and this realm seemed as if it had been blown apart, filled with scenes of turmoil and destruction everywhere.
The immortals present, including those peak Immortal Kings, were all blown away like duckweed and wild grass, though no one died.
This was because both sides were deliberately holding back their power.
Immortal Monarch Huangtian naturally did so to maintain his image and to recruit these people into the Huangtian Immortal Court.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng simply didn't want to waste food.
Speaking of which, their goals were actually the same: both were after the cultivation bases of these immortals, just through different methods.
If these immortals knew the truth, their Dao hearts would likely collapse, because no matter which side won this battle, their outcome would be the same—they were nothing but lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
When the terrifying torrent of power dispersed, a flash of surprise crossed Immortal Monarch Huangtian's eyes. He never expected that under this strike, Gu Qingfeng would actually be able to evenly match him.
One must know that his foundation far exceeded that of ordinary Immortal Monarchs. To reach his current realm, he had devoured an unknown number of people's cultivation bases using the Great Puppet Art along the way, making his foundation absurdly robust.
But even so, facing Gu Qingfeng, who was half a realm lower, it ended in a draw?
To Immortal Monarch Huangtian, this was truly somewhat unbelievable.
However, what Immortal Monarch Huangtian didn't know was that on his path of growth, the number of experts Gu Qingfeng had devoured was no less than his, and perhaps even several times more.
After all, one of them devoured openly, while the other hid it away; naturally, their efficiency was different.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the surprised Immortal Monarch Huangtian, the scarlet demonic light in his eyes burning even brighter. He was excited.
This Immortal Monarch Huangtian's foundation was quite a bit more tyrannical than that of Immortal Lord Xuanshuang. Even if he couldn't rank first among Immortal Monarchs, he was definitely a figure in the top ten.
Encountering such excellent nourishment, how could Gu Qingfeng not be excited?
"You do have some capital to be arrogant, but in front of me, it's still far from enough!
A single thought forms the stars, ten thousand paths descend!" Immortal Monarch Huangtian shouted explosively, then suddenly clasped his hands together, forming a profound hand seal.
Rumble!
Countless resplendent stars emerged in the void, their starlight crisscrossing and weaving into a giant starry net that blotted out the sky.
The power of countless profound laws and worlds manifested within the giant starry net, stirring up dazzling and blazing lights of order that firmly locked onto Gu Qingfeng's figure within the net.
"Detonate!"
Following Immortal Monarch Huangtian's command.
Boom boom boom!
Countless violent explosions rang out.
The giant starry net enveloping Gu Qingfeng saw its countless stars instantly shatter. The terrifying power released by the explosion swept across the entire First Star Ruin. This horrific strike was sensed even by Immortal Monarchs far away in other Star Ruins.
They couldn't help but reveal expressions of horror.
Simply because this power was far too terrifying.
Resplendent starlight surged, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, carrying a forbidden might that made the entire Falling Star Abyss tremble, as it viciously suppressed and killed its way toward Gu Qingfeng.
Facing this terrifying strike, Gu Qingfeng curled his lips in disdain. He could take it head-on, but there was no need.
Since he could remain completely unscathed, why expend the effort to fight against it?
The next moment, his figure was buried by the sky full of starlight, and not a trace of him could be seen anymore.
The explosions of this giant starry net lasted for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. The void where Gu Qingfeng stood had long been blown to pieces, and all matter was annihilated.
"As the demon rises a foot, the Dao rises a yard. The matter here is settled, I have caused you all a fright." Immortal Monarch Huangtian ignored the apocalyptic scene and spoke to the crowd with a light and breezy tone.
The crowd was in a daze, only feeling that it was somewhat unrealistic and a bit illusory.
Was Gu Qingfeng, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor and the greatest demon of all eternity who once dominated the Meteor Abyss and struck terror into the hearts of all who spoke his name, really finished off by Immortal Monarch Huangtian just like that?

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!
