When the Calamity Looms, the Day of My Ascension to the Dao Arrives

Are you the subordinates of the Poison Demon?

Gu Qingfeng asked indifferently as he looked at the dozens of Immortal Lords kneeling before him.

Although these dozens of Immortal Lords were all in human form, their true bodies were ancient poisonous insects, Gu bugs, and the like.

These Immortal Lords pressed their heads against the ground, their legs trembling, not even daring to breathe loudly.

R-replying to Your Excellency, we are, one of the ancient scorpion spirits said tremblingly.

Mm, very good. Do you want to avenge the Poison Demon? Gu Qingfeng nodded and asked.

As soon as these words came out, these people nearly wet themselves in fear and kowtowed madly.

We wouldn't dare! How could this lowly one dare to have such thoughts.

Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is the bandit. The Poison Demon died by your hands because his skills were inferior. How could we talk about revenge?

Your Excellency might not know, but the Poison Demon treated us with nothing but beatings and scoldings, killing us on a whim. Your Excellency slaying him today is truly like giving us a second lease on life. Please accept this lowly one's bow!

The group of powerful Immortal Lords shamelessly told their respective lies.

However, Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said seriously, No, you must avenge the Poison Demon.

Ah!? A centipede spirit was scared silly and frantically cried out, Spare our lives, Your Excellency! We truly don't want revenge!

No, you do.

Now everyone realized that Gu Qingfeng was determined to slaughter them all.

Your Excellency, with our meager strength, how could we possibly take revenge? Please just let us go like a passing fart.

Following the usual routine, the crowd clung to a sliver of hope and began to beg for mercy. In reality, everyone knew that begging was useless.

But it was just like buying a lottery ticket; everyone knows they won't win, but they still choose to buy it anyway.

However, to their surprise, Gu Qingfeng actually agreed.

This Emperor will let you go.

What!? Does Your Excellency really mean it? someone asked in pleasant surprise.

This Emperor never jokes, but there is one condition.

Please speak, Your Excellency. No matter the condition, as long as you can let us go, we will agree.

It's very simple, Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly. After this Emperor lets you go, you must help the Poison Demon get revenge. Of course, with your strength, revenge will be difficult, so this Emperor will give you a tip.

That is to go find the major Immortal Venerables and spread the word everywhere. Just say that the Poison Demon was killed by this Emperor. Why was he killed? Because this Emperor holds a fragmented Origin and needs to replenish its power, so I am currently hunting down lone Immortal Venerables everywhere. This way, you can use the hands of the Immortal Venerables to avenge the Poison Demon.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?!

Helping the enemy get revenge?

Some of the smarter ones mistakenly thought Gu Qingfeng was testing them, so they hurriedly pledged their loyalty: Your Excellency, I have an irreconcilable enmity with the Poison Demon, I absolutely will not help him...

Boom!

The person who spoke was directly blasted to death by Gu Qingfeng's punch, turning into a rain of light that merged into the Eternal Demon Domain.

The crowd instantly fell dead silent!

This Emperor hates disloyal and unrighteous people the most in his life, Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.

You have followed the Poison Demon for many years. Now that the Poison Demon is dead, you must avenge him.

As Gu Qingfeng spoke, he opened his palm, and a black lotus flower that existed between reality and illusion appeared.

It was the Calamity Origin.

He slightly mobilized the power of the Origin, and the aura it emitted directly shook the Immortal Lords present.

This... this is an Origin!! the crowd cried out in shock. They never expected that the divine artifact rumored to allow one to advance to Immortal Emperor would actually appear right before their eyes like this.

This was an Origin! A divine object that could allow someone to prove their Dao and become an Immortal Emperor!

Once the news of the Origin spread, the entire Eternal True World would be shaken. Whether it was Immortal Venerables or Immortal Emperors, they would all flock to it like sharks smelling blood.

Immortal Venerables wanted to rely on the Origin to advance to Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperors absolutely did not mind having more Origins.

However, whoever obtained an Origin would definitely find an uninhabited corner and begin arduous secluded cultivation, not coming out until they became an Immortal Emperor, otherwise it would be too dangerous.

But Gu Qingfeng took out the Origin so confidently and even wanted to spread the news. Why was this?

The crowd simply couldn't figure it out.

That's right, this is an Origin, the Origin that can allow one to become an Immortal Emperor! This Emperor did not lie; I indeed possess an Origin. Moreover, the reason I killed the Poison Demon was also for his power, so that I could become an Immortal Emperor sooner. There is not a single lie in this.

So what you need to do now is spread this matter and then avenge the Poison Demon. Understand? Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.

U-understood.

We understand, Your Excellency.

The group of Immortal Lords hurriedly nodded.

At this time, the ancient scorpion spirit showed a conflicted expression. He hesitated for a moment and asked, Your Excellency, this Origin is a treasure that everyone will fight over. Why do you want to do this?

The scorpion spirit asked the question that everyone had been unable to figure out. In all fairness, if they obtained an Origin, they would definitely go into seclusion until the end of time, not even telling their closest relatives, and cultivate until they became an Immortal Emperor before coming out. How could they possibly spread the word everywhere?

Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and said indifferently, This Emperor merely wants to experience the feeling of being enemies with the whole world.

E-enemies with the whole world!? The crowd was instantly shocked, looking at Gu Qingfeng as if they were looking at a madman.

There was actually someone in this world who wanted to make enemies of the whole world?

Y-your Excellency, you must be joking. You should know that when facing a treasure like the Origin, it's not just Immortal Venerables who will be tempted! Even Immortal Emperors are highly likely to enter the fray. Although your strength is great, if an Immortal Emperor truly comes, then...

Immortal Emperor? This Emperor's target is precisely the Immortal Emperors! Gu Qingfeng said with disdain.

Such arrogant words made the crowd collectively lose their voices, speechless for a long time. They couldn't say a word at all, nor did they know what to say.

Fight an Immortal Emperor!?

That was an Immortal Emperor!

An existence standing at the pinnacle of the Eternal True World, immortal and indestructible, untouched by karma, boundlessly powerful.

You, a mere Immortal Venerable, actually vainly attempt to fight an Immortal Emperor?

Let alone you, even if all the Immortal Venerables in this world added up, they couldn't harm a single hair on an Immortal Emperor. The only one who can deal with an Immortal Emperor is an Immortal Emperor.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the horrified crowd and knew they didn't believe him. He couldn't be bothered to explain. Admittedly, he really couldn't beat an Immortal Emperor right now, but an Immortal Emperor couldn't beat him either.

The Calamity Origin was an existence that even an Immortal Emperor couldn't destroy. Didn't this mean he and an Immortal Emperor were evenly matched?

Was there anything wrong with that logic? Nothing wrong at all!

The Eternal True World was too big, and Gu Qingfeng really couldn't be bothered to go find those Immortal Venerables and Immortal Emperors to devour. Anyway, he was immortal and indestructible, so he might as well cause trouble and make them come looking for him on their own initiative.

Moreover, he had another purpose, which was to make the Eternal True World fall into chaos.

Once experts from all sides gathered, and everyone's goal was the Origin, various frictions would inevitably arise among these experts. When that time came, wouldn't the Eternal True World be plunged into chaos?

The Calamity Origin had not yet recovered to its peak and needed a large amount of calamity power to irrigate it. A peaceful and prosperous age couldn't produce many calamities.

Only when the world was in chaos would there be an endless stream of calamities produced.

And when the entire Eternal True Realm is shrouded in immeasurable tribulations, that shall be the day Gu Qingfeng proves his Dao to become an Immortal Emperor!
