Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

At the same time.

The Lord of Black Prison's body was frozen in place, a scarlet streak emerging from his forehead, spreading across his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the next breath.

His vast body suddenly split in half, with copious blood gushing forth.

Yet quickly, the divided body healed again, the lord's arrogant expression vanished, his eyes filled with terror as he looked towards Xuantian Immortal City.

"Who dares hide in the shadows? If you have the guts, come forth and fight me—"

"As you wish!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a figure in green slowly emerged from the void.

Upon seeing the newcomer.

The Lord of Black Prison's expression turned solemn: "Are you the lower realm Heavenly Venerate who killed the Master of Blood Cang—"

"Remember, the one who kills you, is Gu Qingfeng of the Human Clan!"

Before the Lord of Black Prison could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng struck again. From the void, a Great Tao river poured down from the Nine Heavens, with countless blade lights sweeping across the skies, seemingly intent on utterly destroying the entire Immortal Domain.

Such terrifying power left all cultivators aghast.

Facing this strike directly, the Lord of Black Prison's expression drastically changed.

"Save me—"

Before the words fell.

Countless Blade Qi fiercely descended.

The body of the Lord of Black Prison, which had barely healed, was instantly turned into a pulp under such power, with all vitality wiped out on the spot.

"Boom!!!"

Immortal Domain hummed, with the phantom of the Great Tao cascading from the void, this tremendous phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of all cultivators.

"The Great Tao has collapsed!"

"A Heavenly Venerate has fallen!"

"Such a bizarre aura pervades the Great Tao, the fallen one is indeed the Evil God Heavenly Venerate—"

In the Qingmu Immortal Realm, some cultivators who hadn't witnessed the battle at Xuantian Immortal City firsthand, upon seeing the falling Great Tao phantom, displayed expressions of shock mixed with undisguised delight.

The Evil God Heavenly Venerate has fallen!

The Master of the Forbidden Area has bled!

How many years has it been since such an event occurred? The mos%t* u@p‑to.‑da+t*e v!ers-io^n is on M@4+VL$E!MP-4Y*R.+

Since the Evil God descended, the Qingmu Immortal Realm has been utterly defeated, the Human Clan reduced to being the Evil God's Blood Food, with only the Thirteen Holy Lands barely withstanding to avoid the Evil God's harm.

Elsewhere, even the Three Thousand Immortal Cities had to regularly supply Blood Food to the Thirty-Six Forbidden Zones, and no one dared to defy this.

As for slaying demons and vanquishing evil, it was a luxury.

Now, with the Evil God suppressing Qingmu Immortal Realm, all sides refrained from killing the Evil God, fearing to trigger the Thirty-Six Forbidden Zones.

Only very few cultivators existed independently from the Three Thousand Immortal Cities, bearing the responsibility of the Human Clan, risking their lives to slay all the rebellious Evil Gods.

Yet even so, the Evil Gods truly slain weren't many, nor were they particularly strong. Like now, directly causing the demise of a Master of the Forbidden Area, hadn't occurred in over a billion years.

"That aura, it's the Lord of Black Prison... Could that one at Xuantian Immortal City truly possess such power?"

In Qingmu Holy Land, Qingmu Heavenly Venerate gazed at the falling Great Tao phantom, judging from the lingering aura, he knew the fallen one was the Lord of Black Prison among the Thirty-Six Forbidden Zones.

The Lord of Black Prison's power was not considered strong among the Thirty-Six Forbidden Zones; in a true life-and-death battle, Qingmu Heavenly Venerate had ample confidence to slay him.

After all, as the oldest Heavenly Venerate in Qingmu Immortal Realm, Qingmu Heavenly Venerate's power was extraordinary.

But the problem lies.

Three major Forbidden Zones only recently attacked Xuantian Immortal City, and now the Lord of Black Prison has fallen, naturally leaving Qingmu Heavenly Venerate somewhat shocked.

The joint effort of the three Lords of Forbidden Zones required cautious handling even by Qingmu Heavenly Venerate, to say such a short time suffices to slay one Evil God Heavenly Venerate among them was quite challenging.

"Could the lower realm's longevity power truly be so formidable, or is there assistance from other formidable beings behind?"

Qingmu Heavenly Venerate took a deep breath, then closed his eyes again to ponder the Great Tao.

Regardless.

This matter was unrelated to him.

For Qingmu Heavenly Venerate, what mattered now was breaking through.

Should he break the Four Tribulations Heavenly Venerate's shackles and enter the Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerate level, even the Evil God Clan would not dare to be too brazen.

—

Outside Xuantian Immortal City, the void was silent, both the Evil God Clan and the Human Clan stared at the fallen Great Tao phantom, a long time passing before anyone could regain their composure.

The Lord of Black Prison has fallen!

And slain in one swift blow!

Such a drastic change.

Even the other Masters of the Forbidden Lords didn't have time to intervene.

Looking again at Xuantian Immortal City's side, Luo Tian and others watched the green-clad figure, their eyes filled only with reverence.

A single move to annihilate the Lord of Black Prison!

Such power possibly offers a chance for Xuantian Immortal City to weather this storm.

Just then.

The void trembled.

Three figures slowly appeared.

Among them, two were the Red Demon Lord and the Swallowing Spirit Lord.

Yet upon seeing the third figure, Luo Tian's expression drastically changed.

"Saint Master, beware, it's the Master Blood Nether, rumored to have reached the Four Tribulations Heavenly Venerate Realm—"

Four Tribulations Heavenly Venerate!

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's expression turned somewhat solemn. As he looked at the Master Blood Nether, the aura emanating from him was far stronger than that of the Lord of Black Prison.

"Unexpectedly, a mere lower realm Heavenly Venerate could slay the Lord of Black Prison, seems we underestimated you!"

Within Master Blood Nether's scarlet eyes, a chill gleamed, he hadn't expected Gu Qingfeng truly possessed such might, slaying the Lord of Black Prison in one encounter.

Nonetheless.

Master Blood Nether felt no fear.

With a sinister grin, he licked his lips with a scarlet tongue.

"Even if you can kill that waste in Black Prison, today you are destined to fall. It's been long since I've tasted the blood of a Human Clan Heavenly Venerate—"

"To drink my blood, we'll see if you have the skill!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression remained cold, his eyes fixed on Master Blood Nether with solemnity but without a shred of fear.

The latter sneered at this.

"You've only recently attained longevity; even if you possess some power, what right do you have to act presumptuously before me.

Rest assured, I won't let you die easily. When the time comes, I'll break your bones bit by bit, then strip your skin, and hang you above Xuantian Immortal City, making you witness the fate of all three million humans in Xuantian Immortal City!"

"Alright, then let's see if you have the ability!"

Gu Qingfeng's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes suddenly gleaming with cold light, terrifying power erupted forcefully from his body.

One!

Two!

Three!

In the blink of an instant, Gu Qingfeng invoked seven Heavenly Veins, elevating his strength to an unprecedented pinnacle.

"Boom—"

The Great Tao river transformed into the World-destroying Heavenly Saber, blade Qi cutting through the universe, carrying a terrifying chaotic torrent, smashing towards Master Blood Nether.

The latter's expression remained unchanged, he raised his hand and struck with a palm.

However.

In the next breath.

As the two forces collided, Master Blood Nether's confident expression suddenly changed.

"No—"

The terrifying power utterly engulfed Master Blood Nether like a destructive torrent.

The sweeping aftermath roared across eight directions, causing alarm in Red Demon Lord and Swallowing Spirit Lord beside, directly blasting them off their feet.

Upon the power's dispersal, the previously assured Master Blood Nether now appeared utterly battered, his skin cracked and shattered, revealing ghastly flesh, one hand and one foot vanished without a trace, with copious flesh twisting around the wounds.

"You're not a newly appointed Heavenly Venerate!!!"

Master Blood Nether looked at Gu Qingfeng with terror. That one knife's power was not something a newly appointed Heavenly Venerate should possess, even a Four Tribulations Heavenly Venerate couldn't have such terrifying means.

Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerate!

Even if not fully entering the Five Tribulations level, at least half a step into it!

Otherwise.

No matter how careless he was, it was impossible to be crushed to such an extent by merely one stroke.
