This Emperor Just Committed a Mistake That Every Villain in the World Would Make

Flee!

I must flee this place!

At this moment, Lin Daoxuan had only one thought in his mind: escape. Only by escaping would he have a chance to turn the tables.

A battle between consciousnesses was absolutely impossible to win.

Lin Daoxuan was now experiencing the utmost regret. He regretted being so arrogant, insisting on seizing Gu Qingfeng's body just because he coveted it.

Had he known this would happen, he would have just honestly found a random genius's body to first restore his ten lifetimes of cultivation.

Once he had the cultivation of ten lifetimes, who in this vast world could rival him?

Even if Gu Qingfeng was powerful, he definitely wouldn't be his match. With absolute strength to deter him, everything could have been planned out slowly, rather than ending up in this wretched and perilous state.

Truthfully, Lin Daoxuan couldn't be blamed for his carelessness. It was mainly because no one could have ever imagined that Gu Qingfeng's consciousness would be this terrifying.

Logically speaking, with Lin Daoxuan's ten lifetimes of reincarnation, his consciousness had long become unprecedentedly powerful. It was almost impossible to find an existence with a stronger consciousness than his.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Daoxuan believed that whether it came down to strength or consciousness, it was a guaranteed win. Who would have thought such a mishap would occur in the end?

In this battle, Lin Daoxuan was utterly and completely defeated. He didn't lose because his willpower was weak, but because the enemy had too many family members. Vastly outnumbered, he was ultimately drowned by a vast ocean of demons and monsters.

As everyone knows, the power of the masses is the greatest power. This truth applies no matter which world you are in.

Just as Lin Daoxuan was pondering a way to survive, a terrifying, sinister laugh exploded by his ear.

It was Gu Qingfeng, who had teleported over.

Jiejiejie... Lin Daoxuan, you dare to get distracted while fighting this emperor?

Boom!

Gu Qingfeng threw a punch, striking down ruthlessly onto Lin Daoxuan's head. At this moment, Lin Daoxuan was half-kneeling on the ground. His eyes were filled with horror, and he had just tried to raise his sword to block, but his speed simply couldn't keep up.

With a loud bang.

Lin Daoxuan was planted headfirst into the ground like an upside-down onion, sprawling on the floor like a dead dog.

Damn it! I, Lin Daoxuan, absolutely cannot die in...

Lin Daoxuan seemed about to explode with hidden potential. Perhaps due to the heavy blow he just received, his life began flashing before his eyes, recalling his past experiences.

Commonly known as the flashback power-up.

How could Gu Qingfeng, who was well-versed in these tropes, give him a chance? He stepped directly onto Lin Daoxuan's rising head, successfully interrupting the casting.

Lin Daoxuan's face was firmly pinned to the ground, squeezed somewhat out of shape.

His eyes were filled with frantic rage and unwillingness.

Jiejiejie... So this is what it feels like to trample the number one person of all eternity underfoot? It's truly wonderful. Gu Qingfeng laughed maniacally at the sky, his demonic might surging.

Lin Daoxuan, so you returned from ten lifetimes of reincarnation just to serve as a stepping stone for this emperor? I must say, you succeeded.

The sarcastic words and ruthless mockery made Lin Daoxuan's eyes practically split open. A monstrous fury brewed and exploded within his heart.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingfeng added another sentence at this moment: Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you. A little lass named Immortal Lord Xuanshuang mistook this emperor for you and offered herself to my bed. That little lass is truly not bad, as passionate as fire, jiejiejie...

Boom!

Lin Daoxuan exploded. Not out of anger, but physically exploded.

His entire consciousness directly detonated, erupting into a terrifying storm that blasted Gu Qingfeng several miles away.

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. A Ten-Lifetime Immortal Lord only had this much tolerance? A few words and he self-destructed?

Looking at the sky full of consciousness fragments in the mental space, he waved his large hand, instantly sweeping them up.

He immediately devoured countless consciousness fragments. All sorts of experiences, memories, knowledge, and comprehensions regarding Lin Daoxuan swarmed in.

When he finished absorbing the consciousness fragments, Gu Qingfeng blanked out for a moment.

Wait!

These memories were wrong!

Lin Daoxuan reincarnated for ten lifetimes, so he should possess the memories of ten eras. However, even after absorbing all the memory fragments, there were only nine eras.

Furthermore, these nine eras were the first nine. There was no tenth lifetime, the final one.

The most crucial lifetime was missing.

The tenth lifetime was the summary of the previous nine, the very essence.

It could be said that without the fusion of the tenth lifetime, there would be no Ten-Lifetime Immortal Lord Lin Daoxuan.

Could it be... he ran away?

Gu Qingfeng carefully sensed the consciousness space and immediately discovered an anomaly.

A minuscule hole had unknowingly appeared in his consciousness space, and faint traces of the power of destiny lingered around its edges.

Gu Qingfeng instantly understood: Lin Daoxuan had escaped!

It must have been right when he was enjoying the fruits of victory. Lin Daoxuan secretly chose a spot, connected with his destiny, and then used his self-destruction to attract his attention and blast open a small hole to escape.

After all, Lin Daoxuan had previously mastered the method of attaching his will to destiny, so it wasn't surprising that he used destiny to escape now.

However, this kid was ruthless enough to directly detonate his previous nine lifetimes, which was equivalent to abandoning his past.

A person without a past could no longer be called a complete person.

Gu Qingfeng was somewhat annoyed. If he had known, he would have just killed Lin Daoxuan outright. Now look, he let the guy escape.

However, he was quite good at comforting himself.

This emperor merely made a mistake that all villains in the world make, so what's wrong with that? If anyone is to blame, it's Lin Daoxuan for being too cunning. He could have clearly just accepted death, but he insisted on struggling. It's truly too much.

After comforting himself with a few words, Gu Qingfeng's mood immediately improved significantly.

Sure enough, the best way to enlighten oneself is to blame the mistake on others. The ancients did not deceive me.

Subsequently, Gu Qingfeng left the consciousness space and returned to the outside world.

In the outside world, it was naturally still the stalemate between him and Immortal Lord Qijue and the others.

However, in the next moment, a majestic aura rose from Gu Qingfeng's body. Endless demonic patterns faintly appeared, wrapping around his body like flowing water.

Behind him, an eternal demonic domain was slowly taking shape. The demonic domain was boundless, gloomy, and terrifying, filled with billions of demon gods.

The terrifying pressure spread out, causing Immortal Lord Qijue and the others to instantly change their expressions!

How is this possible!! He actually broke through in the middle of battle!? Immortal Lord Qijue roared wildly.

He actually broke through from a Half-Step Immortal Lord to an Immortal Lord!! Immortal Lord Leiyao's face grew increasingly pale, as if he had already imagined his impending fate.

Looking at Gu Qingfeng breaking through in battle, everyone felt a sense of disbelief. This was because, for powerhouses at the Immortal Lord level, every step of cultivation required a massive amount of time to construct their own world of laws. There were no shortcuts in this process; it could only be achieved through slow, grinding effort.

It could only be said that those with high comprehension might construct it a bit faster, while those with poor comprehension would be slower.

But there would absolutely never be a situation of sudden enlightenment and an immediate breakthrough, as this defied all logic.

A towering skyscraper rises from the ground, and construction can only rely on oneself. How could a tall building be finished in just a short moment?
