Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

The strike by Kushan Immortal City rendered the vast Demon Realm seemingly silent.

In the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court, split in two, there still remained Blade Qi, and any Great Demon accidentally stepping in would immediately meet a bloody end.

The residual Blade Qi in this place.

Prevented many demons from daring to step in even half a step.

Of course.

Apart from the Demon Clan.

The many human cultivators of Kushan Immortal City also looked shocked, their hearts filled with boundless awe towards the power of the Gu Family Ancestor.

Emperor Qingfeng!

Unknowingly, this title had begun to spread intensely across Kushan Immortal City.

Although the person had not truly broken through to become a Great Emperor, their strength rivaled that of a Great Emperor, hence calling them Emperor was not unwarranted.

Moreover.

Some cultivators suspected.

The person had long ascended as a Great Emperor.

Nevertheless.

Gu Qingfeng did not pay much attention to the rumors outside.

His action against the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court was both a deterrent and a way to probe its depths.

In the past, Gu Qingfeng wouldn't have acted so impulsively.

After all.

The Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor Court had many strong figures, even a Quasi Emperor couldn't confront the entire court.

But now was different.

After the battle in Tai Chu Ancient Land.

Gu Qingfeng gained a clear understanding of his strength.

Even ancient Great Emperors like Black Abyss Emperor wouldn't be his match.

Thus.

Gu Qingfeng no longer needed to act as restrained as before; with the Demon Emperor's incursion into Kushan Immortal City, he used this opportunity to probe.

Knowing oneself and the opponent.

Leads to victory in hundreds of battles.

Moreover—

Gu Qingfeng intended to demonstrate to the Demon Realm that Kushan Immortal City was not a place they could casually move against; if another Demon Emperor attacked, this would be their fate.

After all.

Gu Qingfeng couldn't possibly remain in Kushan Immortal City indefinitely.

Especially with Black Abyss Emperor emerging, he had to prevent an attack on the Divine Martial Dynasty.

An ancient Great Emperor.

Gu Qingfeng had no choice but to guard against them.

If possible, Gu Qingfeng hoped to slay Black Abyss Emperor to eliminate future concerns permanently.

Yet.

As mentioned before.

Trying to kill a Great Emperor is exceedingly difficult.

Even though Gu Qingfeng managed to heavily injure Black Abyss Emperor, it was due to the element of surprise; otherwise, truly wounding a Great Emperor would not be so easy.

For this purpose.

Gu Qingfeng had Gu Yang gather all information about Black Abyss Emperor.

If they could find them, Gu Qingfeng would take action to kill them.

Later.

Gu Qingfeng continued to cultivate in seclusion.

—

"Boom!"

A terrifying force covered a vast territory, prompting all cultivators to instinctively look up at the silhouette in the void, their faces showing despair.

Further, some cultivators rose into the air, angrily shouting, "Who are you, what is your intention——?"

"Noisy!"

Black Abyss Emperor's face remained indifferent; with a casual flick of his right finger, the Dao Palace Realm cultivator's body exploded, their energy and blood seemingly drawn towards him.

Following that.

Black Abyss Emperor unleashed Great Tao Divine Power, and instantly, all cultivators felt their blood uncontrollably separate from their bodies, endlessly gathering towards him.

In just an instant.

Millions of cultivators across thousands of miles had their blood completely drained, falling as lifeless husks, silent forevermore.

Black Abyss Emperor took a deep breath, drawing all the life essence from these beings into his belly, and the old, decaying aura on him seemed to weaken slightly.

"Not enough!"

"The life origin of just a million cultivators isn't enough for the emperor's complete recovery; more life origin is necessary!"

"Gu Qingfeng… once I fully recover, I shall settle the score for the severed arm!"

Black Abyss Emperor's eyes glowed with bloodlust, a chilling murderous intent spread from him, as the battle in Tai Chu Ancient Land had become a demon in his heart.

If the heart demon cannot be eradicated, its future repercussions would be significant.

While Gu Qingfeng's displayed strength was terrifying enough, Black Abyss Emperor believed that during his peak, the opponent could never have been his rival.

The initial defeat owed to his long dormancy in Life Ancient City, causing his strength to decline, creating a gap compared to a truly complete Great Emperor.

Now.

Black Abyss Emperor intended to use the life origin of many beings in the Ancient Desolate World as nourishment to truly regain his peak.

This act of slaughtering life and seizing their life origin is considered a Secret Evil Technique; previously, Black Abyss Emperor disdained such methods.

But now.

Black Abyss Emperor couldn't afford to be concerned about so many things.

He knew clearly.

In wanting to kill Gu Qingfeng, the latter likewise couldn't spare him.

Only by quickly restoring his strength could he truly face the matters ahead.

Moreover—

Black Abyss Emperor suspected that Gu Qingfeng possessed heaven-defying fortune.

Otherwise.

How could they have reached such an astonishing realm in such a short time?

Even if a Great Emperor reincarnated.

It's impossible to achieve this step.

Simply put.

Black Abyss Emperor himself is an ancient Great Emperor; if he were to live a new life and aim to restore his cultivation to such a level, it would undoubtedly take considerable time.

He couldn't do it, nor could other Great Emperors.

If not a Great Emperor, then there is only one possibility.

"Immortal Domain!"

"Back then, I paid a great price to peer into the secrets of the heavens; the chance to become immortal is in this world, perhaps this so-called fortune is related to Gu Qingfeng!"
