"Old Geezer Jiuji, you should understand by now that you can do nothing to this Emperor as you are now. If you know what's good for you, get lost and don't interrupt this Emperor's meal," Gu Qingfeng said, looking down with disdain.
Right now, he could only fight to a draw with an Immortal Emperor, so he had no plans to make a move against one for the time being.
Hearing this, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' face darkened. Just as Gu Qingfeng had said, he truly had no way to deal with the Origin of Calamity.
Although Gu Qingfeng did not currently possess the true strength of an Immortal Emperor, he was fundamentally no different from one.
It was extremely difficult for Immortal Emperors to kill one another in battle. Unless one desperately utilized their own origin to grind away the other's origin, only by completely shattering the opponent's origin could an Immortal Emperor be killed.
After an Immortal Emperor died, their origin would scatter between heaven and earth. It was unknown what year or month it would condense again, to then be found by someone fated, slowly giving birth to a new Immortal Emperor.
But the Origin of Calamity was different; it simply could not be ground away.
However, for Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes to leave with his tail between his legs like this was absolutely impossible. Did an Immortal Emperor not care about his pride?
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes let out a cold snort. "Gu Qingfeng, do not be arrogant. The Origin of Calamity has yet to fully awaken. Today, this Emperor will take your life while you are weak!"
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes formed Great Dao hand seals, slamming them down with explosive force. The sound reverberated, shaking heaven and earth like a ringing bell.
As he struck, an invincible aura suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. This was the majestic momentum unique to an Immortal Emperor.
Behind him, supreme figures began to emerge. True Dragons, Qilins, Black Turtles, and other divine beasts were driven by him. His figure became incredibly hazy, wreathed in immortal radiance, with the sun, moon, and stars hovering above his head.
Boom!
The starry sky erupted in a wail. Billions of stars rioted, and surging vitality caused the starry skies and the earth below to tremble.
Gu Qingfeng remained entirely unmoved, but the various Immortal Venerables all went pale, frantically defending themselves and fleeing.
When the terrifying killing blow landed upon him, his body exploded with a bang, transforming into a sky full of calamities.
Yet in the very next second, he returned from the endless calamities, completely unharmed.
"Jiejiejie... No one can injure calamities. Everything that fails to kill this Emperor will only make this Emperor stronger!" Gu Qingfeng threw his head back and laughed wildly.
With a single breath, endless calamities converged into his body, madly nourishing the Black Lotus of Calamity.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' attacks had brought him a massive amount of calamities, making him exceptionally pleased.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' face was incredibly unsightly. He had ultimately underestimated the Origin of Calamity. Even an incomplete Origin of Calamity could not be destroyed. Even though he had utilized the power of his own origin, it was still of no use, and instead made his opponent stronger and stronger.
Compared to the unscathed Gu Qingfeng, the crowd of Immortal Venerables were in a miserable state. Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes and Gu Qingfeng were both undying and indestructible. When the two of them clashed, the ones dying were the Immortal Venerables.
Among the Immortal Venerables, those who didn't die were severely injured.
Gu Qingfeng naturally would not let this excellent opportunity slip by. To prevent Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes from committing more sins of slaughter, he struck first. Like billions of ghostly tentacles, he continuously attacked those injured or even already dead Immortal Venerables, frantically devouring their power.
"Dammit!!" Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes was furious. Naturally, he couldn't just watch Gu Qingfeng frantically devour the Immortal Venerables to increase his own power. What if the other party became an Immortal Emperor?
Therefore, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes also began to target the Immortal Venerables, planning to kill them ahead of time.
Thus, a bizarre scene emerged. It was clearly a great battle between Gu Qingfeng and Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes, yet the result was that both of them were beating up the Immortal Venerables.
The Immortal Venerables were all left speechless, feeling like they were being targeted.
It was a world where only Immortal Venerables got hurt.
"Lord Immortal Emperor, spare our lives!"
"Lord Demon Emperor, spare our lives!"
The group of Immortal Venerables began to beg the two for mercy.
But neither of the two paid them any mind.
Beneath the Immortal Emperor realm, all were but ants.
Gradually, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes realized something was wrong.
This couldn't go on. The power of the slain Immortal Venerables did not dissipate immediately. Although there would be some loss, the remaining portion would still be absorbed by Gu Qingfeng.
Furthermore, with the continuous slaughter, the calamities in the void grew more and more numerous, all of which were absorbed by Gu Qingfeng one by one.
This made Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' eyes widen until they nearly split. How the hell was he supposed to fight this!?
The more he fought, the stronger his opponent became. If this continued, wouldn't Gu Qingfeng eventually become an Emperor?
At this thought, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes immediately took action to save all the Immortal Venerables, dividing his power to protect them one by one, and he himself ceased attacking.
The great battle stopped in an instant.
"Oh? Why did you stop fighting? Chickening out already? Truly worthy of being an Immortal Emperor," Gu Qingfeng ridiculed upon seeing that Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes had seen through his objective.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes wore an ugly expression. "Gu Qingfeng, you wish to use this Emperor to grow stronger, but don't even think about it! Today, this Emperor will seal and refine you!"
"Primal Chaos Sun and Moon, Trap the Earth and Imprison the Heavens!"
Primal chaos energy spewed forth, transforming into an eternal blazing sun that illuminated the darkness of the universe. The resplendent light covered Gu Qingfeng, unexpectedly sucking him directly into the blazing sun.
However, in the very next moment, his incomparably stalwart figure walked right out of the primal chaos sun. His gaze was disdainful, his face full of untamed arrogance.
"Jiejiejie... It is useless, everything is in vain! As long as there is slaughter and suffering in this world, this Emperor will always return to the mortal realm!"
"What! Even sealing doesn't work! Could it be that there is no way in this world to suppress calamities?" Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' expression was as ugly as it could be. For the first time, he felt just how troublesome calamities were.
Faced with Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes' question, Gu Qingfeng made no attempt to hide it and told the other party the method to deal with him.
"Unless you can turn the Eternal True World into a world without suffering, then... calamities will naturally vanish.
It's just a pity that there is no paradise in this world. The mortal realm is hell itself, and this Emperor... is forever indestructible!! Jiejiejie..."
Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly, his posture extremely arrogant, completely treating the Immortal Emperor as nothing.
He was telling the truth. As long as there were still calamities in this world, he could not be killed, nor could he be sealed.
Back then, the Origin of Calamity was sealed and expelled by the Eternal True World because it possessed no consciousness. It only knew instinctive destruction, drifting along with the current.
But now that he had become the Lord of Calamity, he could fully utilize the subjective initiative of calamities. Everything was completely different now. One must know that although active and passive only differed by a single word, the results were worlds apart. There was nothing left in the world that could seal him!
Up until now, there was only one way to deal with Gu Qingfeng, and that was for the world to be at peace, with no more suffering in the mortal realm.
When people were united and friendly with each other, mutually kind, and everyone was a great philanthropist, while also eliminating all kinds of natural disasters and accidents that could cause harm, then the calamities would naturally vanish.
Gu Qingfeng would also perish without a fight.
Unfortunately, that was simply impossible.
