Dark clouds gathered densely, as oppressive as spilled ink upon the heart.
The assembled immortals gathered, covering the area like a surging tide.
Just this lineup alone was enough to strike fear into anyone's heart. In this world, apart from an Immortal Emperor, no one could directly face so many immortals.
Now, there was one more person who could, and that was Gu Qingfeng.
"A full meal? Hmph! A mere demonic cultivator dares to boast so shamelessly?" an Immortal Venerable sneered coldly.
"Gu Qingfeng, no matter what your purpose is today, you cannot escape death. Hand over the Origin immediately!"
"Daoist Gu, the matter of the Origin is too deep for you to grasp. It is better for you to hand it over."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the sky full of Immortal Venerables with great interest and smiled fiercely, "There is only one Origin, yet there are so many of you. Who should this Emperor give it to?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell into a slight silence. This was exactly the problem.
Anyone who obtained the Origin would definitely be attacked by the rest, but at the same time, no one could resist the temptation of the Origin.
At this moment, while no one noticed, a faint black shadow slithered like a snake, silently arriving behind Gu Qingfeng.
The next moment, the shadow reached out a pitch-black hand, grabbing at the Black Lotus of Calamity in Gu Qingfeng's hand with lightning speed.
The moment the large hand appeared, the Immortal Venerables finally reacted, erupting in furious rage.
"It's Immortal Venerable Daotian!"
"You dare, insolent fool!"
Immortal Venerable Daotian's evasion techniques were unmatched in the world. Several powerful Immortal Venerables had died under his sneak attacks. While his head-on combat strength was unknown, his skill in ambushing was undoubtedly ranked first among the Immortal Venerables.
Countless Immortal Venerables cried out in alarm, preparing to strike and snatch it back, but no matter how fast they were, how could they compare to Immortal Venerable Daotian?
But no matter how fast Immortal Venerable Daotian was, how could he compare to Gu Qingfeng?
Immortal Venerable Daotian's evasion techniques were indeed unparalleled in the world, but Gu Qingfeng did not need to see through his techniques. He only needed to sense the calamity the other party brought upon him.
For him, who controlled the Origin of Calamity, the calamity emanating from Immortal Venerable Daotian was as dazzling as a bright beacon in the dark night.
Long before Immortal Venerable Daotian made his move, he had already sensed it and was just waiting for the other party to take the bait.
Sure enough, the moment Immortal Venerable Daotian grabbed the Origin of Calamity, a powerful hand firmly gripped his wrist.
Immortal Venerable Daotian instantly revealed his physical form, a middle-aged man with the head of a roebuck and the eyes of a rat.
At this moment, his face was full of astonishment. He never expected Gu Qingfeng's reaction to be so swift, actually managing to stop him.
Just as he attacked in anger, attempting to break free from the restraint, a terrifying, sinister laugh exploded in his ears.
"Jie jie jie... So it's family!"
Immortal Venerable Daotian looked up, meeting that ferocious, pale face. The demonic light in those eyes stared straight at him like a man-eating demon god.
"What! Let go, quickly!"
He madly attacked Gu Qingfeng, but all his attacks were like stones sinking into the ocean, completely futile.
Immortal Venerable Daotian was horrified. He wanted to sever his own arm to escape, but just as the thought arose, he suddenly discovered a terrifying suction force, like a black hole, erupting from Gu Qingfeng's body.
"Ah!!"
Immortal Venerable Daotian let out a frenzied, miserable shriek as his body rapidly shriveled up like a deflating balloon.
A moment later, he was reduced to a mummified corpse.
Bang!
Gu Qingfeng threw Immortal Venerable Daotian's corpse onto the ground as if discarding trash.
All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. From Immortal Venerable Daotian's attack to his death, it was so fast that the crowd didn't even have time to react.
Silence!
An eerie silence!
The Immortal Venerables, who were originally about to swarm forward, all halted their steps in unison, looking in horror at the nonchalant Gu Qingfeng.
It was as if they were playing a game of red light, green light. They were just about to sprint, but then Gu Qingfeng turned his head, and everyone froze in place as if hit by an immobilization spell.
Some Immortal Venerables even frowned and quietly retreated behind the crowd.
It was simply because the strength Gu Qingfeng displayed was too bizarre, so bizarre that it was incomprehensible.
That was Immortal Venerable Daotian, who had previously killed several Immortal Venerables, yet he was instantly killed!?
Gu Qingfeng ignored the horrified crowd, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"A Heaven-Stealing Rat? Known as the fastest race in the world? How interesting," he muttered to himself, completely treating the crowd as if they were nothing.
After devouring the Heaven-Stealing Rat, he had already acquired its unmatched extreme speed, which left him very satisfied.
Although Immortal Venerable Daotian's strength was not great, that was only limited to head-on combat. His speed and ambush capabilities absolutely far exceeded those of ordinary Immortal Venerables.
What the current Gu Qingfeng lacked was not power, but exactly this kind of unparalleled speed. With this speed, he no longer had to worry about his prey escaping.
After understanding the abilities of the Heaven-Stealing Rat, Gu Qingfeng looked at the sky full of Immortal Venerables again and couldn't help but frown.
It seemed he had scared them.
At this moment, the wariness on the faces of the Immortal Venerables grew heavier, making them even more afraid to step forward.
This made Gu Qingfeng feel incredibly bored. If they didn't fight, how could he absorb their calamity?
"Gu Qingfeng, just who exactly are you!" Immortal Venerable Wenshan said solemnly.
"Don't ask such boring questions. If you want the Origin, then just make your move. If you don't have the guts, then roll aside," Gu Qingfeng said with disdain.
"Dammit! This fiend is too arrogant. With so many of us, are we really afraid of him?" a voice filled with righteous indignation rang out from the crowd.
However, after speaking, the voice hid away again, clearly waiting for someone else to strike first. After all, Immortal Venerable Daotian's corpse was still warm.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. "As expected, the higher one's cultivation, the more they fear death. Because you possess too much, you simply cannot bear to die. Boring, truly boring. Since you don't dare to snatch it, then this Emperor will just give it to you."
"Give it!?"
The crowd was instantly stunned. No one believed Gu Qingfeng's words, thinking he was merely mocking them.
But the next second, everyone was dumbfounded.
They watched as Gu Qingfeng actually tossed the Origin of Calamity straight toward Immortal Venerable Wenshan.
Watching the Origin of Calamity flying rapidly toward him, Immortal Venerable Wenshan lost all of his previous elegance, his face completely overtaken by greed.
Alongside the greed was apprehension, because the moment the Origin of Calamity flew toward him, the countless burning gazes that had been fixed on Gu Qingfeng all instantly focused on him.
But Immortal Venerable Wenshan did not hesitate in the slightest. At this moment, any hesitation would be a disrespect to the Origin and to the Immortal Emperor.
Swish!
He grabbed the Origin of Calamity in one fell swoop.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Almost at the exact same time, Immortal Venerable Wenshan was swallowed by countless boundlessly terrifying attacks.
Undying immortal light, world-destroying divine thunder, exploding great suns, Dao swords slashing across the sky...
Monstrous killing intent froze the entire heaven and earth. Countless living beings shivered in fear, the universe changed colors, laws surged, and the Great Dao roared.
Facing so many terrifying attacks, Immortal Venerable Wenshan immediately hid within his own Dao Domain. However, the attacks of the Immortal Venerables were too horrific. Countless Dao Domains were summoned, slaughtering like towering divine mountains.
Immortal Venerable Wenshan's Dao Domain couldn't hold on for even a single second before shattering with a loud boom. He spilled blood across the sky, unable to even let out a scream, before being blasted into ash.

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
