Under This Emperor, All Beings Are Equal

Every living creature in the Meteor Abyss was trembling and wailing.

This massive world-destroying calamity swept over everyone; no one could escape, and no one was spared.

"Who will save us!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Mother, I'm scared..."

Just as everyone fell into despair, a voice like a heavenly melody rang out, echoing majestically across the Nine Great Star Ruins.

"Let the billions of calamities all return to my body!"

It was Gu Qingfeng's voice.

Following his command, the terrifying calamities filling heaven and earth flowed backward like a flooding river, surging madly into his body.

A shocking scene unfolded. Under Gu Qingfeng's command, the dense power of the calamities actually transformed into wisps of black smoke. The black smoke coiled around every person and spread across every inch of land.

Then, like a tidal wave, the black smoke surged toward Gu Qingfeng and was completely absorbed by him.

The people, who had originally been swept up by the terrifying torrents of destruction, suddenly realized that the destructive floods could no longer cause them the slightest harm, washing over their bodies like gentle flowing water.

At this moment, all the calamities of the Meteor Abyss converged onto Gu Qingfeng, and the living beings of the world suffered no further harm.

Everyone stared blankly at Gu Qingfeng, who looked like a demon god, watching as he absorbed and devoured the black smoke that had shrouded the world.

Everyone understood who had saved them.

Although they didn't quite understand the principles behind it, they knew that all the harm inflicted upon them had been sucked away by the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.

"Lord World-Destroying Demon Emperor has saved us!" someone cheered wildly, weeping tears of joy.

"Praise Lord Demon Emperor!" People hugged each other and cried. Only after experiencing death does one know the preciousness of being alive.

Meanwhile, having devoured billions of calamities, Gu Qingfeng only felt his calamity origin growing ever stronger. His power was also increasing, gradually beginning to overwhelm Luo Wuji.

Luo Wuji also noticed this. His expression changed drastically, his pupils shrinking suddenly as he said in disbelief, "What kind of divine ability is this?!"

Looking at the horrified Luo Wuji, a wicked sense of humor suddenly welled up in Gu Qingfeng's heart. He laughed wildly, "Jiejiejie... This is love! It is my great love for the world! A cold, heartless, and inhumane fellow like you would never understand!"

"Great love?!" Luo Wuji instantly flew into a rage, believing Gu Qingfeng was playing him for a fool.

"Do you think you've won? Dao of Wuji!"

Luo Wuji roared, and phantoms of the Three Thousand Great Daos flashed above his head, transforming into a terrifying hurricane of laws. Carrying a monstrous might, it viciously slashed toward Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng similarly roared, "Love is infinite!"

Then, he threw a punch. Endless power of calamity gathered on his fist and smashed toward the hurricane of laws.

The light from both sides was simply too blinding, as if universes were colliding with universes.

Boom!

Luo Wuji's body was sent flying backward, coughing blood across the sky.

And Gu Qingfeng's body was also annihilated inch by inch, but it recovered in the next second.

"I am Immortal Venerable Wuji! I will not be defeated!!" Luo Wuji roared with bloodshot eyes, clearly unable to accept that Gu Qingfeng could suppress him in terms of power.

"Gu Qingfeng, for you to force me to this extent, you have enough reason to be proud. But it all ends here. If all the divine abilities and wondrous spells in this world cannot harm you, then what about the Will of Heaven?

No one can resist the Will of Heaven!

The Will of Heaven is like a blade! Slaughtering all living beings!"

Obviously, Luo Wuji had used his trump card. Accompanied by his furious roar, a hum rang out!

In the unseen world, it seemed as if the entire Meteor Abyss was undergoing a bizarre tremor. Infinite mighty power gathered above Luo Wuji's head, coalescing into a three-inch silver blade.

That was the Heaven's Will Blade condensed from the Will of Heaven. As the saying goes, the Will of Heaven is hard to defy. Once this blade appeared, no one could block it.

The moment the Heaven's Will Blade appeared, everyone shuddered in fear, as if a blade was suspended over each of their heads, ready to kill them in the next second. It was extremely terrifying.

"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly laughed maniacally.

"You alone vainly attempt to represent the Will of Heaven? Today, I will tell you that the will of the people is the Will of Heaven!

Living beings of the world, heed my command! Immortal Venerable Wuji controls the Will of Heaven and intends to destroy the world. To protect the common people of the world, I now need your power.

The sky, the earth, the oceans, and all living creatures in this world, contribute your power to me! Not for me, but for the common people!"

As soon as Gu Qingfeng's words fell, the endless void instantly distorted. Billions upon billions of ghost and god tentacles reached out from it, directly covering the entire Meteor Abyss. The world was completely reduced to an ocean of tentacles.

Those bizarre and ferocious tentacles pierced into the bodies of the people one by one, absorbing their power.

Miraculously, most people did not resist, but silently dedicated their power.

The common people were not fools. They didn't care whether Luo Wuji was the ruler of the Meteor Abyss or not. Right now, they only knew that Luo Wuji wanted to kill them, while Gu Qingfeng was saving them.

With everyone's cooperation, the power within Gu Qingfeng's body skyrocketed infinitely!

Actually, if the people didn't cooperate, it would be very difficult for him to absorb their power because it was too scattered.

He had divided the ghost and god tentacles into billions upon billions, spreading them all over the Meteor Abyss, which caused his power to be too scattered. The more powerful immortals could basically break free from the tentacles, but they didn't.

This was putting oneself in another's shoes. Gu Qingfeng was wholeheartedly for the common people, so the common people naturally would not forget him!

Carrying the will of the world's common people, Gu Qingfeng only felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, bearing a great burden that made his blood boil.

He was heard roaring, "All living beings unite, counter-slash the heavens!"

Countless living creatures in the Meteor Abyss were deeply infected and couldn't help but shout in unison, "All living beings unite, counter-slash the heavens!!"

He was fired up!

Gu Qingfeng was completely fired up. Of course, he wasn't infected by the enthusiasm of the common people, but rather, the common people had given him so much power that he was beside himself with excitement.

"Jiejiejie... Luo Wuji! Go to hell!"

Boom!

Gu Qingfeng threw a punch, carrying the power and hope of everyone, as if he wanted to shatter all the injustice in this world with a single blow, break the darkness before dawn, and bring the only ray of light to the world!

Facing this punch that condensed the power of all living beings, Luo Wuji's Heaven's Will Blade only held out for a moment before shattering with a bang.

"No!!!" Luo Wuji roared like a madman, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness. He desperately tried to resist, but in the face of the surging will of the people, everything was in vain.

Bang!

Luo Wuji's body directly exploded, turning into a sky full of rain of light, completely annihilated.

With a casual wave of his hand, Gu Qingfeng absorbed all the power of the opponent that had turned into the rain of light into his body.

At this moment, an incomparably powerful force erupted from his body. Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavenly melodies roared within his body, as if there was a heaven inside him. The heaven was awakening, its gaze blazing to the extreme.

His aura continued to climb, emitting billions of rays of light, as dazzling as a blazing sun. The power of ten thousand laws surged, and every dao began to burn. He seemed like the Lord of Ten Thousand Daos, igniting the Meteor Abyss. Rules, order, and laws were all roaring.

His mighty prestige shook the heavens, as if he had trampled the entire Meteor Abyss under his feet.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was simply too powerful—powerful beyond imagination. He had devoured not only the power of the Immortal Venerable and the power of the calamity, but also the power of all living beings.

The fusion of these three forces birthed an unparalleled monster.

It was no exaggeration to say that the current Gu Qingfeng had already surpassed Luo Wuji at his peak.

Of course, the price for this was a world devoid of immortals.

But Gu Qingfeng could not care less. Suspended high above the Nine Heavens, he looked down upon the powerless masses. Some rejoiced that they had survived, while others despaired over the loss of their strength.

Sensing the great joys and profound sorrows of the common people, Gu Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

His voice rolled like the heavenly resonance of the Great Dao, echoing majestically across the entire world.

"Luo Wuji is dead. This Emperor is the new master of the Meteor Abyss. From this day forward, beneath this Emperor, all living beings are equal!"
