After Immortal Emperor Wuyou and Immortal Emperor Bi'an chased each other for several days, coupled with the unsparing propaganda from Gu Qingfeng's billions of clones, almost everyone in the greater half of the Eternal True Realm knew that the Origin had appeared!
This later drew several other Immortal Emperors into the pursuit.
The Immortal Emperors were no fools. They discovered that this Calamity Origin seemed to possess a consciousness of its own. Whenever an Immortal Emperor successfully seized it and prepared to flee, the Calamity Origin would automatically detonate, turning into sky-filling tribulations before being reborn elsewhere. Consequently, the Immortal Emperors had no choice but to start a new round of fighting and chasing, repeating the cycle over and over again.
After this continued for several days, Immortal Emperor Wuyou finally could not bear it any longer.
Looking around at Immortal Emperor Bi'an, Corpse Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor Beixuan, Supreme Immortal Emperor, and Samsara Immortal Emperor, he spoke up, Everyone, we have been fighting over this for several days now. This Calamity Origin is clearly peculiar and is highly likely being controlled by a hidden mastermind. How about we temporarily call a truce and find the one pulling the strings?
Immortal Emperor Bi'an, who had always been at odds with him, coldly snorted, A truce is fine, but the Calamity Origin must be placed with this emperor for safekeeping.
Inappropriate. It is better for this emperor to keep it safe.
Hmph, this emperor claims this Origin. I ask that all fellow Daoists give me, Chen Beixuan, some face.
Failing to reach an agreement, the Immortal Emperors began fighting once again.
There was no helping it; this was human nature. Even knowing there was a mastermind behind the scenes, the Origin was genuine. With the Origin right in front of them, should they just hand it over to others simply because there was a conspiracy?
Just as the crowd was engaged in a fierce battle, another terrifying imperial aura descended.
All the Immortal Emperors frowned, as no one wanted yet another competitor.
Someone had already recognized the newcomer and could not help but coldly snort, Nine Extremes, instead of staying at your Nine Extremes Mountain, you have also come out to wade into these muddy waters?
The newcomer was none other than Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes.
Seeing the Immortal Emperors fiercely battling, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. These were all tribulations!
Stop fighting!
However, absolutely no one paid him any attention.
Growing increasingly anxious, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes shouted, You have all fallen for Gu Qingfeng's trick! He is using your clashes to continuously generate tribulations and strengthen himself! If you keep fighting, he is going to become an Emperor!
The Immortal Emperors frowned and immediately began to divine the truth, instantly discovering the anomaly.
Seeing this, Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes hurriedly recounted everything Gu Qingfeng had done previously.
The Immortal Emperors finally ceased their fighting completely.
Is this Gu Qingfeng truly so bizarre? Corpse Immortal Emperor asked.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes hastily informed them, He is even more bizarre than you can imagine. This emperor has fought him multiple times. This fiend is immortal and indestructible, and cannot even be sealed. The only way to deal with him is to bring peace to the world and stop all conflicts.
Bring peace to the world and stop all conflicts? After hearing this, the Immortal Emperors all felt it was unrealistic.
In that case, are all the various fortuitous encounters that have suddenly appeared recently also Gu Qingfeng's doing? Immortal Emperor Wuyou asked.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes nodded, It must definitely be him.
The crowd immediately felt this was a thorny issue, but some were disdainful.
Corpse Immortal Emperor could be heard sneering, Just because you cannot kill him does not mean this emperor cannot. This emperor wields the Origin of Death and controls all death in the world. Not to mention he is not an Immortal Emperor; even if he were, as long as this emperor is fully prepared, he would still undoubtedly die.
Corpse Immortal Emperor's arrogant words left the crowd slightly displeased, but no one refuted him.
This was because Corpse Immortal Emperor, who wielded the Origin of Death, was indeed a standout among them in terms of strength. In particular, the Origin of Death he controlled posed a significant threat even to Immortal Emperors.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes frowned slightly, just about to retort that this was only because he had not encountered Gu Qingfeng yet.
However, before the words could leave his mouth, a terrifying, sinister laugh suddenly echoed through the void.
Jiejiejie... Let this emperor see, which ant is shamelessly boasting here?
The next moment, the black lotus of calamity in the void slowly transformed into an unparalleledly handsome man with a stalwart figure.
It was none other than Gu Qingfeng, who had returned after finishing his sowing.
Dressed in a black-and-gold imperial robe, Gu Qingfeng had a disdainful gaze, an untamed expression, and wildly dancing black hair as he walked toward the Immortal Emperors with immense arrogance.
That imperious demeanor made him look even more like an Immortal Emperor than the Immortal Emperors themselves.
Gu Qingfeng! Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes's face instantly turned ugly.
The others revealed expressions of astonishment as they sized up Gu Qingfeng.
And as soon as Gu Qingfeng appeared, his gaze firmly locked onto Corpse Immortal Emperor, as if drawn by a magnet.
Seeing the other party staring at him, Corpse Immortal Emperor immediately snorted coldly, You are Gu Qingfeng?
Looking at Corpse Immortal Emperor, who was entirely wreathed in black death aura and resembled a corpse, blazing demonic light surged in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
Who are you?
Corpse Immortal Emperor! Corpse Immortal Emperor stated proudly.
A scarlet demonic light instantly flashed through Gu Qingfeng's eyes. This name, this aura, if this was not family, then what was?
Moreover, through the memories of those Immortal Venerables, he knew that Corpse Immortal Emperor had attained the Dao from the corpse of an Immortal Venerable, walking the path of a zombie, making him the veritable ancestor of zombies.
So you are the one who calls himself Corpse Immortal Emperor? Gu Qingfeng became even more arrogant.
Anger flashed in Corpse Immortal Emperor's eyes. Hmph, Gu Qingfeng, do you think that just because Nine Extremes cannot do anything to you, this emperor cannot either? The moment you encountered this emperor, your death was already sealed!
Die!
Corpse Immortal Emperor struck out in anger, while the rest of the Immortal Emperors watched coldly from the sidelines. They intended to observe first and see if Gu Qingfeng was truly as bizarre as the rumors suggested.
Do not attack!
Only Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes tried to stop him from the side, but it was to no avail. Existences at the level of an Immortal Emperor were not easily swayed by a few words.
Boom!
Above the firmament, a black divine lightning bolt as thick as a mountain ridge crashed down. It was divine lightning condensed from the power of the Origin of Death. Anyone below the Immortal Emperor realm would die upon contact, and even those above the Immortal Emperor realm would not dare take it head-on.
Gu Qingfeng smiled, calmly watching the death divine lightning fall upon his body.
Crackle!
Terrifying, taboo black electrical arcs exploded across him, filled with a bizarre and forbidden aura of death that frantically eroded his body.
The next moment, Gu Qingfeng's expression changed.
He went from astonishment to surprise, shock, and finally disbelief.
My body... This is impossible! he roared wildly, clutching his pained face tightly with one hand. His originally stalwart figure actually developed dense cracks, resembling the surface of a shattered mirror.
Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes was dumbfounded seeing this scene. What was going on!?
Was Gu Qingfeng about to die just like that?
Could the Origin of Death truly be this powerful?
He was not the only one thinking this; even the other Immortal Emperors could not help but shrink their pupils. After all, the precedent of Gu Qingfeng fighting Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes to a draw was right there, yet now he was instantly killed by Corpse Immortal Emperor in a single move.
This inevitably added a bit more apprehension to the gazes they directed at Corpse Immortal Emperor.
Corpse Immortal Emperor, on the other hand, wore a wildly arrogant expression, feeling this was only natural. Below the Immortal Emperor realm, it was impossible for anyone to withstand the Origin of Death.
Hahaha... This emperor wields the Origin of Death! Whoever this emperor wants to die, must die!
Just as his voice fell, boom!
Gu Qingfeng's body exploded with a resounding boom, transforming into a sky full of radiant rain. In the spot where he had just stood, a breathtakingly beautiful Calamity Black Lotus now floated quietly.
Seeing this scene, the Immortal Emperors did not hesitate in the slightest, frantically lunging forward to snatch it without a second thought.
With Gu Qingfeng dead, the Calamity Origin naturally became an ownerless treasure. Who could resist such temptation?
A chaotic melee between the Immortal Emperors erupted instantly!
Even Immortal Emperor Nine Extremes, who had previously been urging everyone to stop fighting, now struck out with his full strength, utterly refusing to fall behind the others.
In this clash, the crowd was truly fighting with real fire. Earlier, they had all sensed the anomaly of the Calamity Black Lotus; while they appeared to be fighting tooth and nail, none had actually utilized their origin power, keeping it in reserve to guard against the mastermind behind the scenes.
Now that the mastermind was dead and the Calamity Origin was up for grabs, the Immortal Emperors naturally held nothing back. The intensity of the battle skyrocketed by several levels as they fought completely with their lives on the line.
Immortal Emperors continuously had their bodies blasted apart only to reconstruct them, their imperial blood spilling across the vast firmament.
Their origin powers clashed and ground against one another. If this continued, it was entirely possible that one or two Immortal Emperors might actually perish.
