Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Silence!

Deathly silence!

The cultivators of the entire Kushan Immortal City, as well as the demons who witnessed this battle, were all dumbfounded. The moment Qingfeng crushed the massive hand of the Lishan Demon Emperor was like a nightmare etched into their minds, impossible to erase.

"Lishan... The Lishan Demon Emperor is dead!!"

A Great Demon, terrified and stuttering, spoke involuntarily.

It wasn't shocking or surprising that the Lishan Demon Emperor wasn't a match for Gu Qingfeng.

After all, demon emperors had previously risked their lives to inform them that the Gu Family Ancestor's strength was terrifying, even among half-emperors he was at the top tier.

However—

Being no match is one thing.

But being crushed like a chick is a completely different story.

An honorable mid-rank demon emperor, slain on the spot like a fragile being, the shock this brought to other demons was unimaginable.

Even in the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court, the other demon emperors who were observing the battle at Kushan Immortal City turned pale upon witnessing this scene, and the entire great hall fell into a deathly silence.

For a long time.

The Hanhai Demon Emperor slowly spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"With the fall of the Lishan Demon Emperor, what are your thoughts?"

Even the Hanhai Demon Emperor didn't realize that when he spoke, his voice was trembling slightly, as if fearing something.

The other demon emperors noticed something amiss, but didn't find the Hanhai Demon Emperor's reaction inappropriate given the circumstances.

There's no helping it!

This scene was simply too shocking.

The Lishan Demon Emperor wasn't an ordinary newly ascended demon emperor, but a formidable being who had been a mid-rank demon emperor for a million years, and wasn't considered weak among the many demon emperors.

Even among the several demon emperors in the great hall, not everyone could confidently claim to be stronger than the Lishan Demon Emperor.

In other words.

If Gu Qingfeng could crush the Lishan Demon Emperor with one hand, it meant he could crush them too.

Imagining a demon emperor-level powerhouse falling in such a fragile manner, these demon emperors felt as if they were dreaming, living in a dream.

Upon hearing the Hanhai Demon Emperor's words, the Rakshasa Demon Emperor finally spoke.

"The rumors in the Ancient Desolate World say that this person once severely wounded an Ancient Great Emperor. Now it seems the rumors aren't false; this person's strength is comparable to a true demon emperor!"

"In that past battle, either this person concealed his strength, or the other party made yet another breakthrough in cultivation within a short period—"

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor stopped speaking at this point.

If it's the former, then it's still fine, but if it's the latter, then it's quite terrifying.

However.

If the other party truly has the strength of the Emperor Realm, there would be no need to hide anything. Besides, why would the other side reveal themselves now if they had hidden before?

Therefore.

Despite how unbelievable it may seem.

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor understood that this person achieved this level step by step over the years.

"This individual must possess an extraordinary opportunity; otherwise, it would be impossible to reach this level. Even a Great Emperor reincarnation couldn't break through to this level of cultivation in just a few years.

If not an emperor, such an opportunity might come from the Immortal Domain!"

When the Rakshasa Demon Emperor mentioned the Immortal Domain, the entire great hall fell into silence, with only the sound of rapid breathing resonating, particularly grating.

All the demon emperors had eyes red as if the words "Immortal Domain" held some irresistible allure.

"Immortal Domain... Can the Rakshasa Demon Emperor confirm this?"

A demon emperor asked greedily.

Immortal Domain!

It's the Immortal Domain!

A place rumored to hold the opportunity for immortality!

Why did they, these demon emperors, seal themselves in the first place?

Wasn't it to one day open the Immortal Gate, truly enter the Immortal Domain, and seek that immortal opportunity?

Now that news of the Immortal Domain has appeared, how could they remain calm?

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Eight or nine times out of ten, otherwise, it's hard to explain how this person could make another breakthrough in strength in such a short time.

And according to the information I've gathered, a hundred years ago, this individual was nothing more than an ant that hadn't even stepped into the Demon General Realm.

Now, having reached this stage in a hundred years is something even an Ancient Great Emperor couldn't achieve.

If not related to the Immortal Domain, I can't think of any other possibility!"

With that statement.

The other demon emperors understood that the Rakshasa Demon Emperor's guess was not wrong.

Such an incredible breakthrough speed, if not related to the Immortal Domain, they might as well offer their heads for the other side to sit on as a stool.

However—

Greedy as they were.

Even these demon emperors understood that Gu Qingfeng's terrifying strength was not something they could contend with.

If it were a hundred years ago, the other party would naturally be an ant that could be easily crushed, but now, nothing short of a demon emperor could withstand him.

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor said, "Though the opportunity in the Immortal Domain is grand, it's not something we can lay hands on. This individual's strength cannot be contended with by anyone but a demon emperor. What we must do now is awaken the demon emperor.

Only with the demon emperor's intervention can we truly deal with this individual and seize that opportunity in the Immortal Domain.

Then, even if we merely gain some benefit, we can progress further, or even accompany the demon emperor in breaking through the Immortal Gate, entering the Upper Realm to seek that chance for immortality!"

For a moment.

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor entertained the thought of monopolizing the opportunity in the Immortal Domain himself.

But the notion barely formed before the Rakshasa Demon Emperor dismissed it.

It's a joke.

A terrifying entity that could crush the Lishan Demon Emperor with a single hand, that's not something he could handle.

Even as a top-tier demon emperor with strength akin to a half-emperor, what could that do?

In the face of such an adversary, let alone one of himself, even ten of himself would be insufficient.

Between half-emperors and great emperors lies an insurmountable chasm, a gap that numbers alone cannot bridge.

Therefore.

Rather than courting trouble, it's better to awaken the demon emperor, who might even grant him some reward after obtaining the opportunity.

Regarding the Rakshasa Demon Emperor's opinion, all the demon emperors nodded in deep agreement.

The best course of action for the time being is indeed so—

However.

Just as these demon emperors settled on their thoughts, suddenly, a terrifying force descended, causing their hairs to stand on end, prompting them to leave the great hall reflexively.

The next instant!

Boom!!!

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court shook violently, countless palaces collapsed, and countless demons who couldn't react in time had their bodies explode, utterly perishing on the spot.

When these demon emperors regained their senses, it seemed as though the vast Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court was split in two, with a deep chasm resembling an abyss exuding a heart-stopping aura.

The terrifying remnant blade qi above even prevented the demon emperors from daring to approach.

This single slash.

Spanned a million miles.

Not only was the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court cleaved in two, but the mountain range where the Ancestral Court stood was also affected, split in half despite its ancient existence spanning billions of years, with a chasm resembling an abyss deeply etched there, as it was etched into the minds of many demons.

At the same time.

A cold voice entered everyone's ears.

"If you dare think of attacking Kushan Immortal City again, this will be your fate!"

"..."

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor and other powerful entities remained silent, the blade mark spanning the entire mountain range rendering them speechless, with only the terror in their eyes revealing their current unsettled state of mind.

No one expected that even after slaying the Lishan Demon Emperor, the other party would also lash out at the entire Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court.

Even more importantly.

The other side didn't even personally come to the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court.

The lingering, terrifying Blade Qi on the surface made even the demon emperors dare not approach it.

If this slash had targeted any of them individually instead of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court, the targeted demon emperor would have had no chance of survival.

For how long!

The Rakshasa Demon Emperor felt a fleeting desire to monopolize the Immortal Domain opportunity.

But that thought was quickly extinguished when he considered Gu Qingfeng's terrifying power.

Against such existence.

He alone, a mere demon emperor, couldn't stand a chance.

To deal with Gu Qingfeng, only the awakening of the demon emperor would suffice.
