Several months later.
In the peaceful territory of Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, an uninvited guest flew in on this day.
It was none other than the Scorpion Spirit, a subordinate of the Poison Demon.
The Scorpion Spirit rushed into the territory of Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes in a state of panic.
"Halt! Who goes there!" Several Immortal Monarchs immediately flew out from the territory of Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, blocking the Scorpion Spirit's path.
"I am Immortal Monarch Scorpion under the command of Lord Poison Demon. I have an urgent matter and seek an audience with Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes today."
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes had attained his Dao as a hundred-eyed immortal centipede and was on good terms with the Poison Demon. Therefore, upon hearing that he was a subordinate of the Poison Demon and seeing his panicked state, the guards simply verified his identity slightly before going to report.
A moment later, the Scorpion Spirit was brought before Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes.
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes was a middle-aged man with an imposing aura that commanded respect without him even getting angry. He had a rough appearance and his chest was widely exposed. However, instead of dark chest hair, his chest was covered in dense rows of compound eyes.
"Why has the Poison Demon sent you here?" Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes asked indifferently.
Unexpectedly, the Scorpion Spirit directly scrambled and crawled to kneel at the feet of Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, crying mournfully, "Lord Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, you must seek justice for me!"
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes frowned. "What exactly happened?"
The Scorpion Spirit wailed as if he had lost his parents, "Lord Poison Demon... he is dead!"
"What?!" Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes was instantly shocked and enraged. "How could he die? Who did it? Could it be Immortal Venerable Nine Suns?"
"It wasn't Immortal Venerable Nine Suns. It was an Immortal Venerable powerhouse named Gu Qingfeng, who calls himself the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!"
"World-Destroying Demon Emperor? Gu Qingfeng?" Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes pondered for a moment but couldn't recall who this person was; the name felt completely unfamiliar.
"A mere Immortal Venerable dares to call himself an Emperor?"
"My Lord, he has an Origin! That World-Destroying Demon Emperor Gu Qingfeng possesses an incomplete Origin. In order to complete it, he took action and killed Lord Poison Demon!"
"An Origin!!" Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes shot up to his feet, his eyes filled with disbelief. He directly grabbed the Scorpion Spirit and shouted anxiously, "Say that again! What does he have?"
The Scorpion Spirit trembled, "An Origin! He possesses an ownerless Origin!"
Boom!
A violent aura erupted from Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes. He spoke no more and directly began a soul search.
Powerful soul energy surged into the Scorpion Spirit's body. A moment later, the Scorpion Spirit died violently.
Meanwhile, a look of wild ecstasy surfaced on the face of Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, though it was mixed with a bit of confusion and apprehension.
"Gu Qingfeng... making enemies of the entire world?"
If Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes hadn't personally conducted the soul search, he would never have imagined that there could be someone in this world arrogant to such an extent. Possessing an ultimate supreme treasure like an Origin, instead of hiding it, he widely publicized it, all just to experience the feeling of making an enemy of the whole world?
If this wasn't a madman, what was?
Since the other party could kill the Poison Demon, his strength was naturally extraordinary. However, with the temptation of an Origin right before him, no matter how dangerous it was, Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes would give it a try.
Similar scenes were also taking place in the territories of other Immortal Venerables.
The dozens of Immortal Monarch powerhouses sent out by Gu Qingfeng were spreading the news everywhere that he possessed an Origin.
Facts proved that the fastest speed in this world was not an Immortal Emperor, but rumors.
When the word Origin came out, regardless of whether the news was true or false, it would spread throughout the world at the fastest possible speed.
Of course, the Eternal True Realm was infinitely vast, so it was impossible for it to spread across the entire realm. But with the Poison Demon's sphere of influence as the center, the news of the Origin spread rapidly in all directions like a tsunami and an earthquake.
For a time, the world was greatly shaken!
An Origin had appeared, and the world was astonished.
In almost the territories of all major factions and every gathering place of living beings, one could hear people discussing the appearance of the Origin.
"Have you heard? An Origin has appeared, and it's in the hands of an Immortal Venerable powerhouse."
"I heard it long ago, it's spread everywhere. That Origin is in the hands of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor Gu Qingfeng."
"Tell me, he's just an Immortal Venerable, yet he dares to call himself an Emperor. He's simply rampant."
"Hmph, he has an Origin in his hands. He will become an Emperor sooner or later, so what's the difference?"
"Now that the news has leaked, it's still unknown whose hands the Origin will ultimately fall into."
"How come I heard that it was the World-Destroying Demon Emperor Gu Qingfeng who deliberately spread the news?"
"How is that possible? It sounds like a rumor. How could anyone in this world widely publicize that they possess an Origin?"
"That's right, don't you understand the principle that a repeated lie becomes a perceived truth? This sounds like a rumor, it's too fake."
........
Nine Extremes Mountain.
This was an ancient and towering divine mountain shrouded in primal chaos.
Behind the divine mountain was a chaotic and collapsing space-time turbulence, filled with an aura of ultimate destruction.
In front of the divine mountain was a vast white ice field, covered in snow, without the slightest trace of life.
Anyone who saw it would understand that this Nine Extremes Mountain was a land of absolute peril. But ironically, in such a dangerous place, someone resided there.
This person was precisely the renowned Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes!
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes stood at the peak of the mountain, his entire body enveloped in a chaotic luster, making his facial features indistinguishable. Only a pair of eyes was revealed, seemingly able to see through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
At the foot of the mountain were dense figures of immortals.
At a glance, there were no less than a million of them. Most of them were existences at the Immortal King level, and there was no shortage of Immortal Monarch powerhouses. There were even a few Immortal Venerables, with auras more terrifying than the last.
However, even these terrifying existences were all kneeling on the ground, their expressions respectful and devout.
"An Origin has appeared, and it is within my sphere of influence. It seems this Origin is destined to fall into my hands." The majestic voice of Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes echoed throughout the area like the heavenly voice of the Great Dao.
"Pass down my command. Seal off the surrounding regions. This matter must absolutely not be known by other Immortal Emperors."
"Yes, Lord Immortal Emperor." The immortals replied in unison, and then completely disappeared, as if they had never been there.
At this time, an old man in black robes walked up to the mountain peak, stood beside Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes, and asked, "Lord Immortal Emperor, the matter of the Origin is of grave importance. I'm afraid it won't be kept a secret for long."
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes remained unmoved. "It matters not. I will take action."
His words were filled with unparalleled confidence and an indifference that despised everything.
Hearing this, the black-robed old man's pupils instantly trembled. His face was filled with shock and fanaticism, as if witnessing an Immortal Emperor take action was an extremely glorious event.
"Lord Immortal Emperor, are you going to single-handedly stop the other Immortal Emperors who come to snatch it?" the black-robed old man asked with a trembling voice.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes: "........"
He fell silent for a moment before saying, "What I meant is, I will personally take action to snatch the Origin from Gu Qingfeng's hands before the other Immortal Emperors discover it."
The black-robed old man: ".........."
The two of them looked at each other in silence.
.............
Poison Demon Cave.
Gu Qingfeng stood at the mountain peak, watching the unseen tribulations continuously gathering towards him. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "The fish have taken the bait."
Because of the dissemination of the news, undercurrents surged. The tribulations targeting him permeated the entire Myriad Demons Cave, which was incredibly intoxicating.
