Hearing the gray-clothed old man's words, the crowd's eyes flickered. They were not fools. After witnessing two accidents in a row, they naturally realized something was wrong.
One gaze after another swept back and forth between Gu Qingfeng and the gray-clothed old man.
The gray-clothed old man was also a ruthless character. Knowing he was injured and completely powerless to keep the Calamity Black Lotus, he would surely die if things continued like this. Thus, gritting his teeth, he unexpectedly threw the black lotus away.
"I will no longer participate in this battle for the origin!"
Having said that, the gray-clothed old man turned and ran without the slightest hesitation.
Although the origin was good, one needed to be alive to enjoy it.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Calamity Black Lotus. No one paid attention to the fleeing gray-clothed old man, but Gu Qingfeng kept his eyes locked on him.
"Hmph, coming and going as you please? Die for this Emperor!"
Gu Qingfeng coldly snorted and reached out a palm, which transformed into a towering demonic claw that viciously grabbed at the gray-clothed old man.
"No!!"
The gray-clothed old man's eyes widened until they nearly tore apart. He resisted madly, but being heavily injured already, how could he possibly block Gu Qingfeng's strike?
Boom!
Under the claw, the gray-clothed old man was instantly reduced to flying ash. His dissipating power was seized by Gu Qingfeng and completely devoured.
Seeing this scene, if the Immortal Venerables still had not reacted, they would truly be fools.
"Everyone! This Gu Qingfeng clearly wants us to slaughter each other. He called us to gather here just to devour our power!!" an Immortal Venerable shouted loudly.
Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded. The calamity origin floated quietly in the void, yet none of the Immortal Venerables made a move to snatch it. Instead, they stared intently at Gu Qingfeng.
"Everyone, I propose we deal with Gu Qingfeng first. After that, we can rely on our own abilities for the origin. How about it?" someone suggested.
The Immortal Venerables quickly reached a consensus.
They believed everything was Gu Qingfeng's conspiracy. He inevitably had some method to control the origin, so he was not afraid of it being snatched away at all. Therefore, he threw out the origin to let the crowd slaughter each other while he reaped the benefits.
Otherwise, they simply would not believe that anyone in this world would voluntarily give up the origin.
"Jiejiejie..." Facing the glaring crowd, Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky and laughed wildly. Demonic light blazed in his eyes as he casually took back the calamity origin and sneered.
"It seems you all have finally realized it. But... so what? In this Emperor's eyes, every single one of you present is trash!"
"Arrogant!"
"Demon, cease your insolence!"
"Hmph! Gu Qingfeng, do you really think that by taking on the title of World-Destroying Demon Emperor, you have truly become an Immortal Emperor?"
"Even if you are an Immortal Emperor, so what? With our combined strength, even if an Immortal Emperor were here, they would have to retreat!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Suddenly, an indifferent voice echoed through heaven and earth.
Immediately after, an immense, unimaginable pressure descended.
In that instant, the Great Dao roared and the void surged, as if the sky itself was collapsing!
Everyone present paled, their bodies trembling as they looked at the depths of the firmament in terror.
"Im... Immortal Emperor!!"
"It's Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes!!"
"What! Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes has personally entered the fray!?"
"Damn it! He is clearly already an Immortal Emperor, yet he still competes with us for the origin!"
In the depths of the firmament stood an incomparably majestic figure. Shrouded in immortal light, his face was obscured. With his hands clasped behind his back, he was unmatched throughout history, exuding a supreme pressure.
The void continuously shattered due to his appearance, extending for hundreds of millions of miles.
It was none other than Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes!
"Who was it just now that said even if an Immortal Emperor were here, they would have to retreat?"
The grand voice echoed through heaven and earth like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao.
In the crowd, a rugged middle-aged man instantly broke out in a cold sweat. His chest was exposed, revealing rows of dense compound eyes. Who else could it be but Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes?
Hearing Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's questioning, Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes immediately panicked, because he was the one who had spoken those arrogant words.
Right now, he wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he have to run his mouth!
In a panic, he hurriedly tried to squeeze into the crowd. However, the crowd instantly scattered like they were avoiding the god of plague.
In an instant, the area around Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes became a blank zone, leaving him all alone.
Swish!
His face instantly turned pale, devoid of all color.
And Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes cast an indifferent gaze upon Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes, making him tremble uncontrollably.
Although he was an Immortal Venerable of a region and a ranked expert in the Eternal True World, in front of an Immortal Emperor, he was absolutely nothing.
"N-no... I didn't say it," Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes hurriedly explained, but his words were extremely feeble.
Because he was facing an Immortal Emperor. With an Immortal Emperor's perception, it was impossible not to hear who had spoken.
"What this Emperor hates most in life is being lied to," Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes said indifferently.
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes nearly wet himself in fear and hastily changed his tune, "Lord Immortal Emperor, I said it, but I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about him, about Gu Qingfeng!"
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes shouted excitedly, pointing at Gu Qingfeng.
"Oh, is that so?" Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes said flatly. "No matter. Just be more careful in your next life."
Following that, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes slowly raised a finger.
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes's eyes instantly widened to the point of tearing, his soul practically flying out of his body in terror. "No, no, no!! You can't..."
Before he could finish speaking, a demon-god-like figure stepped in front of him.
It was Gu Qingfeng.
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes was stunned. He didn't understand why Gu Qingfeng would block the attack for him.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng's calm voice rang out, "Relax, this Emperor won't let him kill you."
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes became even more dumbfounded. He knew very well that this was his first time meeting Gu Qingfeng.
"Wh... why?"
"Because you are this Emperor's family, and family cannot die at the hands of others."
"Family!? Could it be that you are also from the Hundred-Eyed Immortal Centipede Clan?"
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. What bullshit Hundred-Eyed Immortal Centipede Clan? How could mere clansmen compare to one's closest family?
"You are the origin holder, Gu Qingfeng?"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's intrigued voice sounded.
Gu Qingfeng looked at him disdainfully and said indifferently, "Do you think you are worthy of addressing this Emperor by name directly?"
The indifferent words echoed throughout the entire venue, exploding in everyone's hearts like a clap of thunder!
The entire crowd fell silent!
How dare he!?
That was an Immortal Emperor!
Immortal Venerable Hundred Eyes was also dumbfounded. When it came to courage, his fellow clansman was indeed braver.
However, in the next second, he rejoiced inwardly. With Gu Qingfeng drawing the fire, he probably wouldn't have to die.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes frowned and said in displeasure, "A mere Immortal Venerable dares to speak to this Emperor like this?"
"A petty Immortal Emperor is truly laughable. You dare to call yourself an Emperor in front of this Emperor? Who gave you the courage? Remember, this world only allows the existence of one Emperor, and that is me, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!"
Gu Qingfeng's arrogant words swept across the crowd's hearts like a tsunami.
The gazes they directed at him were already filled with incomparable horror, shocked to the point of numbness.
