My son is about to break through.

"Issue my decree!"

The icy voice of the Void God Lord echoed in the temple, carrying an unquestionable majesty that instantly silenced all the noise and resentful whispers.

"Order: The Seven Deadly Kingdoms shall immediately integrate the power of all evil gods around them and directly block the advance of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's army. They shall not retreat any further!"

Furthermore, the Seven Deadly Sins Kingdom is granted the temporary authority to command the surrounding kingdoms.

Any evil god kingdom whose territory borders the Seven Sins God Kingdom, regardless of its strength, must unconditionally obey the Seven Sins God Lord's commands and cooperate in battle. Those who disobey will be punished as traitors!

His abyss-like eyes flashed with a cold light, like unyielding ice that had never melted.

"In this battle, I have only one request: to crush the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty at all costs!"

The chilling killing intent, like a tangible cold wind, swept through the hearts of every god, making them feel both terrified and secretly excited.

However, the words of the illusory god did not end there.

He paused slightly, as if weighing the weight of his next order, before slowly uttering an even more earth-shattering name.

"in addition--"

"By the immortal decree of this Venerable One, order the Supreme God Lord of the Void to emerge from seclusion and slay Gu Qingfeng!"

These four words were like four bolts of chaotic divine thunder, exploding directly in the souls of all the evil gods and lords in the temple.

In an instant, an undisguised look of shock and horror appeared on the faces of all the gods.

Lord Taixu!

None of the gods present were unfamiliar with the name of this being.

In the vast and boundless Immortal Realm, there are countless evil gods and powerful beings.

However, in this vast sea of ​​powerful beings, there is a small group of beings who can be considered taboo. They have already pushed their cultivation to the extreme of the God Lord level, and have even touched the threshold of the supreme immortality with one foot in.

This group of people standing at the very top of the pyramid are known as "half-step immortals"!
They are the undisputed strongest beings below the Immortal level.

The Supreme God Lord was one of them.

However, that being had announced its seclusion countless years ago, no longer concerning itself with the affairs of the divine realm, and it was even rumored that it had been trying to break through to the ultimate realm of immortality.

As a result, their divine kingdom was closed off for many years, almost completely isolated from the outside world.

No one expected that the Void God Lord would actually ask this person to take action this time.

But after a brief moment of shock, ecstasy followed.

With a terrifying being like the Supreme God Lord, a half-step immortal, personally taking action, Gu Qingfeng's strength and talent, no matter how powerful or monstrous, are destined to be nothing to worry about.

Faced with true ancient heritage, so-called geniuses are ultimately just a fleeting phenomenon.

After all, compared to Gu Qingfeng, a rising newcomer, the reputation of the Supreme God Lord had already resounded throughout the endless immortal realms countless years ago, forged with the corpses and blood of countless human powerhouses.

That was a fearsome reputation truly forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

However, those at the level of the Supreme God Lord naturally possess unparalleled arrogance and their own code of conduct.

For ordinary gods, even top-tier gods, to ask him for help is absolutely wishful thinking; they wouldn't even be able to see his face.

However, if a true immortal being like the Void God Lord personally issues an immortal decree, then the meaning is completely different!

This is not just a request, but also carries a hint of a command, representing the will of the immortal realm!
Even someone as powerful as the Supreme God of the Void must treat this matter with utmost care.

"I will obey the decree of the God!"

A deity with the deepest aura, whose form resembled a condensed shadow, stepped forward and respectfully accepted the brilliant decree, which was formed from the divine power of the illusory deity and exuded an immortal Dao charm.

Subsequently.

With a flick of his finger, the decree carrying the immortal will transformed into a divine light that pierced through the void, instantly tearing through layers of space and disappearing into the endless dimensional turbulence, heading towards the almost forgotten Taixu Divine Kingdom located deep in the chaos.

……

at the same time.

The chaotic void, a region of extreme desolation and death.

Here, the stars are dim, the laws are faint, as if the universe has abandoned it.

A vast but lifeless ancient divine kingdom, resembling a giant tombstone, floats silently in this place.

This is—the Great Void Divine Kingdom!
Unlike the usual evil god kingdoms, which are filled with filthy energy and the roars of billions of evil gods, the interior of the Taixu God Kingdom is extremely empty and deathly silent.

There were no distorted buildings, no praying relatives, only endless nothingness and a coldness that seemed to freeze time and space.

Just as the decree of the illusory god traversed endless time and space and arrived at the core of the divine kingdom.

"Boom!!!"

A vast and terrifying aura, dormant for countless millennia, erupted from the deepest part of the divine kingdom, abruptly reviving!
This aura was so powerful that it seemed capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, causing the laws of the Great Dao in the billions of miles of void surrounding the divine kingdom to wail and twist, and then crumble inch by inch.

The chaotic energy was forcibly pushed aside, forming an absolute realm of nothingness.

At the heart of the divine realm, within an ancient temple constructed from pure nothingness.

A figure slowly awakens from eternal silence.

He sat cross-legged in the void, his figure indistinguishable from that of a human, even considered perfect. His face was handsome yet eerie, his skin pale, except for his eyes, which were as black as an ultimate abyss capable of swallowing all light, hope, and even the soul.

He is none other than the Lord of the Great Void!

As he opened his eyes, two beams of extremely refined dark light burst forth like the first ray of darkness after the creation of the world, easily tearing apart the stable space within the temple. In an instant, they had discerned all the information contained in the decree. Then, the dark light receded and disappeared.

"The decree of the Illusory God..."

The Supreme God Lord opened his palm, and the immortal decree naturally appeared, slowly rotating in his palm.

A rare, subtle ripple appeared on his face, which was as indifferent as an ancient iceberg.

It is extremely rare for an immortal to personally issue a decree.

The immortals usually only take this so seriously when it involves the survival of their race or major upheavals.

but.

What the Supreme Lord of the Void cared about most was not the edict itself, but the name mentioned in the edict and the information related to it.

"Xuantian Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng..."

He murmured the name, a strange smile playing on his lips, revealing a hint of amusement and curiosity.

"To escape with one's life from that illusory figure, one must have some skill."

Single-handedly, he suppressed the siege of fourteen top-tier god-lords, and even killed two of them. Wow, who would have thought that since that overlord, the human race would produce such a brilliant and talented successor.

In the abyss-like eyes of the Supreme God, a blazing flame called battle intent, sealed for countless years, slowly rose.

obviously.

The information about Gu Qingfeng described in the decree of the illusory god had successfully stirred his long-dormant emotions.

At his level, ordinary opponents no longer interest him; only strong individuals of the same level, or even stronger ones, can evoke a long-lost excitement in him.

Since stepping into the half-step immortal realm, the Supreme God Lord of the Void has been in seclusion for many years, meditating and comprehending the Dao, trying to see through the last layer of mist, truly push open the door to immortality, and prove the Dao of eternity.

No matter what.

The realm of immortality is extremely mysterious and cannot be attained without great perseverance, great opportunity, and great enlightenment.

Hundreds of millions of years have passed, and although he felt himself getting closer and closer to that boundary, he was always just one step short and never truly took that step.

If it weren't for the message from the Void God Lord, he would have been almost completely cut off from the outside world and would have had no idea that such a monstrous powerhouse had quietly emerged among the human race!
The instant he received the information and his fighting spirit was ignited, the Supreme God of the Void sensed something, as if he had grasped a mysterious opportunity. He understood!

This might be the key opportunity he has been searching for but has yet to find—the chance to break through to immortality.

With the blood and fall of this most monstrous genius of the human race, he will forge the final cornerstone on his path to immortality.

In the ultimate battle and life-or-death struggle, squeeze out all your potential to break through that final barrier.

Once the thought was made, there was no more hesitation.

With one step, the Lord of the Void departed from the Void Temple that had been silent for countless years.

"Buzz!"

The moment he stepped out of the temple, a vast and terrifying divine thought, like an invisible cosmic storm, spread out from him and swept across every corner of the entire Taixu Divine Kingdom in an instant.

However, what is unsettling is...

This divine kingdom is vast and boundless, its territory comparable to a large immortal realm. At this moment, apart from his resurgent and powerful aura and rampant divine thoughts, it is completely empty!
There are no other evil gods.

The void of the divine kingdom is filled with an extremely pure, yet extremely terrifying, power of the Great Dao.

This force repels all existence, making this place an absolute forbidden zone where no living being can set foot or survive.

next interest.

The figure of the Supreme God Lord had already appeared outside the divine kingdom. He indifferently swept his gaze across the boundless chaos before taking a step forward.

"Boom!!!"

A long river formed from the materialized laws of the Great Dao suddenly appeared beneath my feet, piercing through the void and the universe. Wherever it passed, all things returned to nothingness, and the laws ceased to exist!
The overwhelming momentum seemed to be turning the entire chaos into absolute nothingness.

Such a terrifying commotion instantly alarmed the ancient beings in the chaotic void and countless surrounding immortal realms!
"This aura... is terrifying! It's filled with the essence of annihilation and annihilation!"

"That direction leads to the Great Void Divine Kingdom. Could it be that the Great Void God Lord has been reborn?"

"Hiss!! The Supreme God Lord! He actually still exists in this world, and he's emerged from seclusion at this time?"

"Something terrible is about to happen! With the emergence of this god of slaughter, the Endless Immortal Realm is likely to be engulfed in bloodshed once again!"

Powerful divine thoughts intertwined in the void, filled with shock, horror, and deep apprehension.

In the memories of many ancient beings, the name of the Great Void Divine Kingdom represents a bloody and dark history.

Now that this ruler has once again set foot in the world, the waves he has caused are definitely not small.

……

the other side.

In the chaotic void, at the temporary camp of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty's expeditionary force.

The atmosphere inside the central command tent was heavy.

Gu Qingfeng sat upright in the main seat, holding a jade slip containing intelligence that had just been sent back by scouts from the front lines. His expression remained indifferent, as if the jade slip contained no earth-shattering news.

Below, Jiang Jue, Luo Tian, ​​and other core ministers and generals of the Immortal Dynasty gathered, each with an unprecedentedly serious expression on their faces.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Jue stepped forward, his voice low and solemn, breaking the silence inside the tent.

"According to multiple sources of intelligence and information from some ancient channels, the one who has emerged this time is undoubtedly the Taixu God Lord."

He took a deep breath and continued, "The Supreme God Lord is an ancient being who has successfully attained enlightenment millions of years ago. His foundation is so deep and his strength so great that it far surpasses that of ordinary top-tier gods."

According to reliable rumors, his strength has already reached the point where he has one foot in the realm of immortality!

He is one of the true pinnacle beings among the evil gods!

Jiang Jue paused, seemingly recalling some long-ago secret, his tone becoming even more somber:
"Within the evil god clan, there exists an ancient treasure called the Immortal Stele of Longevity."

This stele is said to have been forged by an ancient, immortal member of the evil god clan using heaven-defying methods; its mysteries are boundless.

"The Immortal Stele of Immortality only records the names of the top one hundred strongest god lords among the evil god clan."

Any god-king qualified to have their name inscribed on the Immortal Stele of Longevity signifies that their strength has reached the pinnacle below the Immortal level.

"And the name of that Taixu God Lord has already been imprinted on the Longevity Immortal Stele."

"The Immortal Stele of Longevity?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's usually indifferent expression finally showed a slight change, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a treasure. It seemed that the evil god clan's resources were indeed deeper than what was outwardly apparent.

Jiang Jue explained in a deep voice: "The Longevity Immortal Stele has existed for an extremely long time. In addition, the names on the stele have changed very little over the past hundred million years, and have become almost fixed. Therefore, even at the Heavenly Venerable level, there are not many cultivators who know of its existence."

"I only learned of these secrets because of a special opportunity I had in my early years."

He steered the conversation back to the Lord of the Great Void, his tone extremely serious.

"Your Majesty, the emergence of the Supreme God Lord of the Void must be backed by the Immortal Divine Kingdom, and his purpose is likely aimed directly at Your Majesty!"

By the end, Jiang Jue's voice was tinged with obvious worry.

The personal intervention of an ancient being listed on the Immortal Stele of Longevity, a being on the verge of immortality, poses a threat far greater than any previous crisis.

Silence fell over the tent for a moment, all eyes were on Gu Qingfeng, awaiting his decision.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Qingfeng slowly put down the jade slip in his hand. Not only did he not show any fear on his face, but he also showed an expression of great interest, the kind of expression one would show when encountering a worthy opponent.

His expression was calm, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"The Immortal Stele of Immortality...One Hundred Top God Lords—"

"That sounds interesting."

"Since that's the case, then let me personally assess whether the so-called experts on the Immortal Stele of Longevity are truly as powerful as the rumors suggest."

His tone was calm, yet it contained an unparalleled confidence and domineering presence.

What good is the Immortal Stele of Immortality?

If it were before he broke through to the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm, Gu Qingfeng might have been somewhat wary of such an existence.

After all, that was the most powerful force accumulated by the evil god clan over hundreds of millions of years, far beyond the reach of figures like the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable.

but--

Times have changed!
Now, his cultivation has already quietly entered the Ninth Tribulation level.
Gu Qingfeng's own strength has also undergone a tremendous qualitative change.

He asked himself, in the same realm, he was no longer afraid of any opponent, whether it was a human prodigy or an evil god giant.

What good is being half-immortal?

Ultimately, the so-called "half-step immortality" is still essentially within the scope of the Nine Tribulations.

As long as the other party hasn't truly taken that step and hasn't achieved complete integration with the Dao, everyone will still be competing within the same major realm.

In this way, Gu Qingfeng would have absolute confidence in suppressing his opponent.

even--

If immortality were to appear before me.

He wanted to test the other party's true worth. (End of Chapter)
