My son is about to break through.

In a desolate galaxy.

This place is far from any known immortal realm or bustling starry sea, located in a chaotic and remote corner.

The galaxy is enormous, composed of billions of ancient stars, the vast majority of which have long since exhausted their last bit of energy over countless years, turning into cold, lifeless rocks and dust.

The chaotic energy flows here with unusual slowness, and time seems to lose its meaning, leaving only eternal silence and coldness.

however.

At this moment, the deathly silence was completely shattered!
"boom--!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying force swept across from the depths of chaos without warning, like the giant hammer of the creator god, slamming heavily onto this already dead galaxy.

Wherever the power reached, countless ancient stars couldn't even withstand it for a moment, collapsing and shattering into pieces.

Even more terrifying were the chaotic beasts that had slumbered for countless eons in the cold void at the edge of the galaxy. Faced with this sudden torrent of destruction, they didn't even have a chance to awaken from their slumber. They were torn into countless pieces by the terrifying power, like shredded cloth, and their souls were completely destroyed.

The entire desolate galaxy resembled a painting that had been brutally crushed by a mischievous child.

Space is no longer fragmented, but rather collapses and evaporates in large swathes.

In less than a breath.

This vast, desolate galaxy, which had existed for countless billions of years and spanned countless light-years, had been completely erased from the map of chaos, leaving only an enormous void filled with destructive energy and shattering laws, as if a piece of chaos itself had been forcibly scooped out.

In the heart of this newly formed, desolate wasteland, the raging energy turbulence strangely subsided.

A figure in a green robe had been standing there quietly for some time now.

It was Gu Qingfeng.

He was enveloped in a faint, almost imperceptible aura of the netherworld.

That Daoist aura, though seemingly weak, contained an unparalleled power that could stabilize the universe and suppress all laws.

Within a radius of hundreds of millions of feet around him, the spatial turbulence that was powerful enough to kill a Seven Tribulation Heavenly Venerable was smoothed out by an invisible hand, becoming docile and slow, and finally coming to a complete stop.

His aura was deep and heavy, like a bottomless abyss, or like the underworld that bore witness to the cycles of reincarnation. It appeared calm, but contained terrifying power within.

at this time.

About a million miles away from Gu Qingfeng, in the void, space rippled like water, and another figure shrouded in a gray, eerie mist slowly emerged.

The God of Illusion!

The mist around him surged, seemingly even thicker than before.

His gaze toward Gu Qingfeng remained indifferent, as if devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a stone or a blade of grass.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that deep within the mist, the murderous intent gathered in those faintly visible eyes has reached an extreme level, almost transforming into tangible ice blades that pierce through the void.

"Why don't you run away?"

The voice of the illusory god came through the mist, carrying a strange echo, containing boundless pressure within its calmness.

"I thought you would be like a stray dog, endlessly fleeing in this chaos."

"run?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's lips curled into a faint smile, a hint of mockery and arrogance in his expression.

"Why should I run? It was only because I was worried that the aftermath of our fight would affect the millions of lives in the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and destroy the foundation of my lineage."

This place is now desolate and barren, devoid of life for billions of miles, making it the perfect battlefield for you and me!

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he took the initiative to attack.

He didn't test the waters at all; his first move was a killing blow!
With his right hand held together like a sword, he slashed through the air in the direction of the Void God Lord!
"Tsk-!"

A jet-black sword beam, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, burst forth from his fingertips.

This sword light may not seem large, but it contains the true meaning of the Netherworld Dao at the ninth level.

Wherever the sword's light passed, the void emitted a mournful cry of unbearable burden. It was not cut open, but rather seemed to have undergone billions of years of erosion and death, instantly withering and decaying.

This sword strike was several times more powerful than the hastily condensed palm strike he delivered when he confronted the Void God Lord.

"Hmph! Even though you have a small skill, you still dare to do the same thing!"

The Void God Lord snorted coldly. Facing the incomparably sharp Netherworld Sword Light, he neither dodged nor avoided it, but simply took a step forward.

That’s it!
"Om-!"

Centered on his feet, a great river of wisdom, seemingly spanning the past, present, and future and containing endless truths, suddenly appeared.

The long river flows ceaselessly, reflecting countless illusory images of the rise and fall of civilizations around the world.

At the same time, an indescribable, immense, and ineffable supreme Dharma form slowly rose from behind the Void God Lord.

This Dharma form has an indistinct and uncertain outline. Sometimes it looks like a giant that supports the sky and the earth, sometimes it transforms into a demonic shadow that devours the starry sea, and sometimes it resembles a chaotic mist that is constantly changing and eroding reality.

It stood there, seemingly becoming the core of this chaotic void, the embodiment of the Dao, radiating a terrifying power that suppressed all ages and made all the heavens and myriad paths bow down.

Immortal Dharma Form!

The Great Dao and the Long River manifest!

Faced with the Netherworld Sword Light that cleaved the void and withered all laws, the Void God Lord simply raised his right hand and pointed lightly in the direction from which the sword light came.

"break."

Each word uttered was like a decree of the Great Dao.

At the fingertip, a grayish-white light shone.

"puff!"

The moment the pitch-black sword light collided with the gray-white light spot, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft sound like a bubble bursting.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying sword light, which contained Gu Qingfeng's vast and mysterious Daoist energy and was capable of easily annihilating a great world, disintegrated and vanished inch by inch.

however.

Gu Qingfeng seemed to have anticipated this, and there was no surprise on his face.

but--

The Netherworld Path had just dispersed when it was reassembled.

Gu Qingfeng communicated with the underworld through his divine sense, and saw the phantom of the eighteen levels of hell transform into an unparalleled domain, suppressing billions of miles of chaotic void.

"Eighteen levels of hell?"

The Void God Lord was in the center of this terrifying Netherworld, feeling the all-pervasive erosion of death and the pull of reincarnation around him. His face under the mist seemed to move slightly, and he let out a sneer full of disdain.

"If it were the real, complete eighteen levels of hell, I might have to be more wary."

But you, with your mere appearance and hollow shadow, dare to flaunt yourself before me? Utterly absurd!

The words fell.

The illusory god took the initiative.

He didn't use any complicated or profound supernatural powers; he simply gripped the right hand that had just pierced the Netherworld Sword's light.

then!

Punch out!
This punch was still simple and unadorned.

But the moment his fist was thrown, the blurry and distorted supreme dharma image behind him suddenly solidified for a moment, making a punching motion in sync with his.

Punch out!

"Click——!!!"

Those layers of illusory eighteen levels of hell, symbolizing endless suffering, melted and shattered rapidly like ice and snow under the sun.

The mountain of knives shattered!
The fire has been extinguished!

Everything vanished before that one punch.

The power of the immortal level is simply not something that can be suppressed by the phantom of the eighteen levels of hell.

But even so.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm. He once again summoned the Yellow Springs, transforming it into the third stage of Yellow Springs water that submerged everything. Even the Void God Lord, an Immortal Celestial Venerable, was solemn about such filthy power.

"The Underworld—"

"What do I have to fear!"

With a thought, the Void God Lord conjured a long white bone spear from the supreme power of the Great Dao. The moment the opponent grasped the spear, a world-destroying cold light burst forth, capable of tearing apart the chaotic star sea.

"Boom!"

Wherever the cold light passed, everything was reduced to dust.

The Yellow Springs surged forth, their murky waters cascading down, yet even this could not withstand the spear's sharp edge. That world-destroying, chilling light moved with unstoppable force, seemingly poised to shatter all the Yellow Springs and utterly annihilate Gu Qingfeng within the chaos.

however.

Despite the wrathful attack from the Void God Lord, Gu Qingfeng remained calm and composed. The waters of the Yellow Springs surged forth wave after wave, seemingly endless and unrestrained.

Even with its overwhelming power of the World-Destroying Cold Light, it ultimately could not withstand the waters of the Yellow Springs and was completely swallowed up.

Followed by.

The Yellow Springs trembled once more.

Countless vengeful spirits emerged from the Yellow Springs and charged towards the illusory god.

These evil spirits all originated from the clan of evil gods.

But a pity.

After these spirits are devoured by the Yellow Springs, they lose all intelligence and become puppets of the Yellow Springs.

Therefore, even when facing the immortal god lord of the evil god clan, these vengeful spirits looked as if they wished they could tear him to pieces.

only--

There are many souls in the underworld.

However, the power of the immortal realm was too terrifying. With a casual swing of his spear, the Void God Lord annihilated billions of Yin souls.

The previously densely packed number of wandering spirits was suddenly greatly reduced.

See here.

The illusory god sneered, "Ants are still ants. What good are they, no matter how many there are—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw even more vengeful spirits emerge from the underworld, instantly filling the void.

This scene.

This caused the face of the Void God Lord to darken.

the other side.

Gu Qingfeng stood on the Yellow Springs, and no matter how turbid the river water surged, it could not stain even a corner of his robe.

Looking at the illusory god-king being besieged by numerous vengeful spirits, he calmly said, "As long as the Yellow Springs never dry up, the vengeful spirits will never perish. I want to see whether it is the immortal's profound foundation or the Yellow Springs' power that is truly superior!"

This is the horror of the third stage, the Yellow Springs.

After these transformations in the underworld, not only do they become much more powerful, but the spirits within them are also immortal.

Just as Gu Qingfeng said.

The Yellow Springs never dry up.

The spirit never dies.

As long as the underworld exists, these spirits are immortal and indestructible.

however.

The third stage of the Yellow Springs is able to rely on the power of the entire underworld.

Unless someone can destroy the entire underworld, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Yellow Springs.

And now, the underworld.

After years of evolution, it has become extraordinary.

Leaving aside other powerful ancient immortals, Gu Qingfeng absolutely did not believe that a being like the Void God Lord, who was at the first level of immortality, could defeat the Underworld and sever the Yellow Springs.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Void God Lord, but rather that the Underworld was an existence equivalent to the Endless Immortal Realm.

Even the current underworld is much weaker than the ancient underworld.

But no matter what.

The underworld is the underworld.

Such beings are not something that even an immortal god-king can destroy at will.

but--

Gu Qingfeng understood as well.

To completely slay an immortal being using the power of the Yellow Springs is an incredibly difficult task.

But from beginning to end, he never imagined that he could suppress the Void God Lord by relying solely on the power of the Yellow Springs.

and so.

As countless vengeful spirits roared forth, surrounding and attacking the illusory god, Gu Qingfeng stirred his divine thoughts, and the power of the Netherworld Dao descended once more.

This supreme Daoist aura transformed into a black divine blade, its chilling light, imbued with the true meaning of death, cleaving through layers of void, causing even the Void God Lord to tremble.

He dared not be careless or distracted, and directly used the bone spear to defend.

As the two divine weapons formed from Daoist principles collided, Gu Qingfeng seemed to see an endless river of the Great Dao emerge from the depths of his eyes, traversing the entire chaotic universe, with no end in sight.

He understands.

This is the Dao of the Illusory God Lord.

The opponent reached the level of immortality, merged with the Dao, and became the Dao itself.

A complete Great Dao power is naturally terrifying.

Compare.

Although the Netherworld Path is indeed a Path of Order, Gu Qingfeng has not yet reached the level of merging with the Dao.

Compared to the Great Dao of the Void God Lord, Gu Qingfeng's own Great Dao undoubtedly appears much smaller.

only--

despite this.

When the two forces collided, the black divine blade shattered, and countless cracks also appeared on the white bone spear.

Such a scene caused even the expression of the Void God Lord to change.

"This is the power of the Great Dao of Order!!"

this moment.

The way he looked at Gu Qingfeng finally changed.

all the time.

The illusory god only believed that Gu Qingfeng had obtained the inheritance of the underworld and thus gained control of the Yellow Springs.

The Netherworld Dao power he used was merely an adjunct to the Underworld's inheritance.

But until now.

The moment the two great powers collided, the Void God Lord finally glimpsed Gu Qingfeng's true nature. The supreme power of the Great Dao of Order made even this ancient immortal feel instinctively horrified.

What is the Great Way of Order?

That is the source of all great principles, an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao.

The Great Dao mastered by all immortals is merely one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, not the Heavenly Dao.

At least.

The Void God Lord had never heard of anyone who could control the Heavenly Way.

If an immortal can take the Heavenly Dao as their foundation and merge their body with the Dao, then without a doubt, that immortal must be the most powerful immortal, without exception.

the reason is simple.

The Way of Heaven is the great order, the source of everything.

The power of such a source is destined to be unmatched by any other Great Dao power.

It is said that the three thousand great paths lead to the same destination, and in the end, they are all the same.

but--

It depends on the situation.

The Three Thousand Great Daos do not include the Heavenly Dao.

Such supreme paths, named after order, are destined to be unmatched by the three thousand great paths. (End of Chapter)
