The Eternal Demon Domain swept through with overwhelming force, shattering the heaven-toppling rain of swords, destroying the three thousand Brahma realms, and obliterating the world-destroying thunder domain...
In a mere instant, all the trump cards of the Immortal Lords were broken! They turned into a sky full of pouring light.
The Immortal Lords themselves were sent flying by a terrifying torrent of power, screaming in agony.
Their indestructible immortal bodies were covered with dense cracks, like shattered porcelain.
Although the Immortal Lords were heavily injured, none of them died. It wasn't because of their formidable strength, but rather because Gu Qingfeng was waiting to devour their cultivation. Naturally, he wouldn't kill them easily to avoid wasting it.
The Immortal Lords' eyes widened until they nearly tore, filled with horror and despair.
"What is this power?!" Immortal Lord Leiyao cried out wildly. "How is this possible? Facing our combined attack, he actually defeated us without even using a sword. He has become even stronger than before!"
At this moment, Ditian, who was coughing up blood to the side, was just about to speak when he caught sight of the completely unharmed Immortal Lord Qijue from the corner of his eye. His gaze immediately froze, and his anger flared up.
"Qijue! What on earth are you doing?! We are fighting to the death, and you are just watching the show from the sidelines?!"
It turned out that during the battle just now, Immortal Lord Qijue hadn't made a move at all. Instead, he had stood motionless to the side, watching the whole thing unfold.
The others also noticed Immortal Lord Qijue's strange behavior and began to curse at him angrily.
They had originally thought that Immortal Lord Qijue was charging up some ultimate move, but even after they were all severely injured, he still hadn't taken the slightest action.
Facing the crowd's angry scolding, Immortal Lord Qijue did not reply. He remained standing in place like a zombie, completely motionless.
Now even Gu Qingfeng sensed something was wrong. Could it be that Immortal Lord Qijue wanted to surrender and become his dog?
But in the next moment, a heaven-piercing sword intent erupted from Immortal Lord Qijue's body. This sword intent was supreme, suppressing the myriad daos into submission.
"This is... Lin Daoxuan's sword intent?!" Immortal Lord Leiyao cried out in shock.
"How could you possess Lin Daoxuan's supreme sword intent?!" Ditian asked in horror.
They had all been defeated by Lin Daoxuan in the past, so they were naturally very familiar with his supreme sword intent.
But what they never expected was that the sword intent unique to Lin Daoxuan would actually erupt from Immortal Lord Qijue's body at this moment!?
How could this be possible?
This kind of unique sword intent was just like a person's soul; how could an identical one appear?
They looked at Immortal Lord Qijue, then at Gu Qingfeng, and for a moment, they were so confused they couldn't tell who the real Lin Daoxuan was.
"Jiejiejie..."
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst into laughter. Staring intensely at Immortal Lord Qijue, he said, "Lin Daoxuan, you truly live up to the title of a ten-lifetime Immortal Lord. You are indeed bold and highly skilled. I thought you had already run away, but I never expected you to attach yourself to Immortal Lord Qijue's destiny and now even possess his body!"
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Even someone as meticulous as Gu Qingfeng genuinely hadn't anticipated that Lin Daoxuan, after escaping, wouldn't flee far away but instead choose to attach himself to Immortal Lord Qijue's destiny.
The current Immortal Lord Qijue had clearly been possessed by Lin Daoxuan. As for the method, it was naturally the same as when he had tried to possess Gu Qingfeng earlier.
Poor Immortal Lord Qijue had no family, and combined with being heavily injured by Gu Qingfeng earlier, he had already become extremely weak, allowing Lin Daoxuan to exploit his vulnerability.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but admire Lin Daoxuan's courage and wisdom. His choice was not wrong; after all, in this world, which genius's body could compare to that of Immortal Lord Qijue?
Possessing Immortal Lord Qijue was absolutely the best choice.
"Gu Qingfeng, I, Lin Daoxuan, will not lose to the same person twice. I lost to you this time, but I will definitely win the next," Immortal Lord Qijue suddenly said.
At the same time, his body was no longer stiff.
Evidently, the stiffness just now was because the two sides were fighting for control of the body.
Speaking of which, Gu Qingfeng deserved a lot of the credit for Lin Daoxuan's successful possession of Immortal Lord Qijue.
Although Lin Daoxuan had severed his previous nine lifetimes, the remaining tenth lifetime was the strongest. It was born from the fusion of the essence of the previous nine lifetimes, naturally far surpassing an ordinary Immortal Lord.
But this alone wasn't enough for him to possess Immortal Lord Qijue. After all, Immortal Lord Qijue was equally stunning and talented, just slightly lacking in foundational depth.
However, thanks to Gu Qingfeng's help in severely injuring Immortal Lord Qijue, coupled with the fact that Immortal Lord Qijue had always believed Gu Qingfeng was Lin Daoxuan,
when Lin Daoxuan's consciousness invaded, Immortal Lord Qijue was both weak and completely bewildered. Lin Daoxuan struck preemptively, seized the initiative, and ultimately succeeded in possessing him.
Immortal Lord Leiyao and the others were completely dumbfounded as they listened to the conversation between Gu Qingfeng and Immortal Lord Qijue.
What was going on?!
Who exactly was Lin Daoxuan?!
They were truly flabbergasted. For the first time in their endless years of life, they felt their brain capacity wasn't enough.
It was clearly Immortal Lord Qijue who had led them to besiege Lin Daoxuan. Why was it that, as they fought, the person being besieged wasn't Lin Daoxuan, but Immortal Lord Qijue was instead?
Possession?
It seemed Lin Daoxuan had possessed Immortal Lord Qijue, but then who was Gu Qingfeng?
Could they have gotten it wrong from the very beginning?
Furthermore, Gu Qingfeng had never admitted to being Lin Daoxuan from start to finish.
After the Immortal Lords straightened out their thoughts, they immediately gasped. It was terrifying to think about!
If Gu Qingfeng wasn't Lin Daoxuan, then why was his strength so terrifying? Who on earth was he?!
"Next time?" Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, a scarlet demonic light flashing within them. "From the sound of it, you're trying to run?"
Immortal Lord Qijue, who was now Lin Daoxuan, nodded. "Although I have successfully possessed this body, I have yet to regain the power of my ten lifetimes. Right now, I am not your match."
"Jiejiejie... Do you think you can leave?"
As soon as his voice fell, endless demonic light suddenly rose from the surrounding void, forming an inverted bowl that completely sealed everyone inside.
At this time, Lin Daoxuan seemed to have regained his previous composure and said indifferently, "You cannot lock me in. Before, I had no power and could only rely on my consciousness form, but now it is different. I have taken control of Qijue's body and can already execute some simple methods.
Your seal is useless against me."
Gu Qingfeng was almost amused by Lin Daoxuan. "The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and you think you're capable again. Have you forgotten about being trampled under my feet just now? It hasn't even been that long, and you're already putting on airs again?"
This sentence almost broke Lin Daoxuan's composure. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, because Gu Qingfeng's demonic claw had already reached out.
A heaven-supporting demonic claw ignored the distance of time and space, grabbing directly toward Lin Daoxuan.
Lin Daoxuan's gaze focused, and immediately, ripple-like fluctuations appeared on his body, causing it to become translucent.
In the next moment, Gu Qingfeng's demonic claw actually passed straight through Lin Daoxuan's body, as if grabbing nothing but air.
"Gu Qingfeng, the next time we meet, I will let you see me in my prime," Lin Daoxuan said calmly.
As his words fell, his body became increasingly transparent until it completely disappeared.
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. He hadn't found any related impressions of this bizarre divine ability from the previous nine lifetimes, so it was clearly created during the tenth lifetime.
This left him rather annoyed. To think that Lin Daoxuan had actually managed to escape yet again! Was this the legendary plot armor of a protagonist? Truly terrifying.
A moment later, however, a sinister smirk crept onto Gu Qingfeng's face. "You might be the protagonist, but This Emperor is not your textbook villain who plays by the rules."
With a mere thought, a brilliant plan sprang to mind.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.
