My son is about to break through.

"die!"

"This child—must die!!!"

The tiny yet glaring crack on the bone spear, like a red-hot branding iron, burned fiercely into the heart of the Illusory God Lord, further igniting the boundless killing intent within him.

The intensity of this murderous intent goes far beyond a simple personal grudge.

"The Great Dao of Order... The Great Dao of the Underworld... So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

He stared intently at Gu Qingfeng, his gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the blue robe and see into the ancient and solemn aura emanating from the Great Dao within him.

To wield the Great Dao of the Netherworld is one of the Great Daos of Order!

The Netherworld governs the cycle of life and death, and maintains the final resting place of the soul. It is one of the oldest and most fundamental laws of order in the universe.

Its status is far superior to that of the ordinary three thousand Great Daos.

Looking across the endless immortal realm, he is truly unprecedented throughout history!

Imagine.

If a human prodigy of the Great Dao of Order truly crosses that insurmountable barrier and enters the realm of the Immortal Celestial Venerable, he will prove immortality through the Great Dao of the Netherworld.

How much will its combat power increase at that time?
Ordinary immortals would probably be like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in comparison.

If it really comes to that, it might be the end of the entire evil god race.

Kill Gu Qingfeng!
At this moment, in the mind of the Void God Lord, this thought had transcended everything.

Even if it comes at a huge cost, it's all worth it.

This is no longer a simple personal grudge, but has risen to the level of race.

"I never expected... I never expected it! The Endless Immortal Realm could actually produce an anomaly like you, capable of completely wielding a Great Dao of Order!"

The voice of the Void God Lord came through the gray mist, as cold as ancient ice, yet the killing intent contained within was intense enough to incinerate stars.

"If you truly succeed in merging with the Dao and attaining immortality through the Netherworld, then in the future, you will inevitably become the gravedigger of our race!"

"Unfortunately, you are too young and too high-profile! You are too sharp and do not know how to conceal your talents!"

If you can learn to be patient and lie low, find a secluded place, and cultivate diligently for countless years, you will eventually reach the Great Dao and astound the heavens.

At that time, even the Eternal Silence God Lord might not be able to deal with you, and our race might truly face annihilation!

The words of the Void God Lord contained both extreme fear of Gu Qingfeng's talent and potential, as well as a hint of lingering fear and relief.

Fortunately, the other party did not choose the safest and most dangerous path of lying low, but instead exposed themselves to the light too early, giving them the opportunity to nip it in the bud.

"But there are no 'what ifs' in this world! Your journey ends here!"

The illusory deity's eyes were cold.

Now he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Gu Qingfeng at all costs.

The threat posed by such monstrous beings is far beyond what the former overlord Xiang Chu could ever match.

That overlord was indeed a rare and formidable figure in human history, with astonishing combat power that terrified his peers in the evil god race. However, he ultimately failed to grasp the Great Dao of Order, and his peak combat power never truly rivaled that of the immortals.

In the eyes of the Void God Lord, the other party was far inferior to Gu Qingfeng in front of him!

He would rather have ten overlords like Xiang Chu among the human race than see one Gu Qingfeng!

Because Xiang Chu's strength is still within the realm of understanding.

Gu Qingfeng's demonic nature has completely transcended common sense and defied perception, making its future threat extremely high.

With the cultivation level of the Ninth Tribulation and the mastery of the Great Dao of Order, one can already contend with the immortals.

For a cultivator to break through from the Nine Tribulations to Immortality is a complete sublimation and transformation of the essence of life and the level of power.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, the resulting increase in strength is often a qualitative leap.

Gu Qingfeng was already so terrifying during the Nine Tribulations. Once he completes this transformation and truly merges with the Dao to enter immortality, just how much will his strength soar?

The Third Realm of Immortality?
Or will it directly rival the fourth realm of immortality?
The illusory god dared not think any further.

All he knew was that if Gu Qingfeng were to truly reach the twelfth realm of immortality...

Therefore, even the Eternal Silence God, who also stands at the pinnacle of immortality among the evil god race, is no match for him.

All complex thoughts are but a fleeting moment in the mind of an immortal being like the Lord of Illusions.

When these thoughts completely subsided and transformed into the purest, coldest killing intent, the illusory god took the initiative.

He held nothing back and no longer harbored any intention to test the waters.

Behind the illusory God Lord, the hazy, illusory Great Dao River, reflecting the birth and death of countless worlds, suddenly burst forth with unprecedented light.

"boom--!!!"

The already blurry and distorted supreme Dharma image suddenly expanded and solidified, as if it had truly transformed into the body of an ancient god or demon supporting a chaotic universe.

The Dharma form was so enormous that it seemed to fill the entire remnant of this recently destroyed star field.

Endless gray-white mist spread from the Dharma form, and wherever the mist passed, even the most violent chaotic currents were assimilated and transformed into even more bizarre energy.

Followed by.

The true form of the illusory deity moved in sync with the enormous Dharma form, its hands embracing as if holding the entire chaos.

The vast and boundless illusory image of the Great Dao River, like a celestial river flowing backwards, carrying endless power, crashed down on Gu Qingfeng below, as if the sky were collapsing.

This is not a simple attack, but a crushing blow to the very essence of the Great Dao.

It was the suppression of the Great Dao formed by the Void God Lord forcibly drawing upon and engulfing a portion of the primordial power of the chaotic void using his own immortal Great Dao.

Its terrifying power far surpasses any previous attack, enough to instantly crush dozens of vast immortal domains the size of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, along with the billions of living beings and star continents within them, into dust.

The long river flows backward, and all paths return to nothingness!

Faced with this terrifying suppression that would make any Immortal First Realm expert pale, Gu Qingfeng's eyes finally showed an extreme solemnity, but even more so, his fighting spirit was ignited to its peak!
"Well done!"

He let out a long roar that shook the very heavens.

The power of the Netherworld Dao around him was no longer held back, and it exploded to its extreme!
The black divine blade phantom that had just been shattered and dissipated re-formed amidst the endless aura of death and the Daoist principles of the Yellow Springs.

On the pitch-black blade, there were clearly visible lines of yellowish-brown turbidity, yet containing the aura of annihilation of all things and the end of reincarnation—the patterns of the Yellow Springs.

Before the blade was even drawn, an even more terrifying killing intent, seemingly capable of severing life and death and splitting the cycle of reincarnation, had already spread out.

Even the cascading river of the Great Road paused slightly.

"cut!"

Gu Qingfeng grasped the black divine blade, which embodied his own Great Dao and the origin of the Yellow Springs, with both hands and slashed it towards the flowing river.

"boom--!!!"

“Rumble——!!!”

An indescribable storm of destruction erupted once again in the heart of this chaotic wasteland that had long since turned to nothingness!

Two torrents of power, representing different extremes, collided and annihilated each other like two world-destroying dragons.

The black, ghostly aura and the turbid waves of the Yellow Springs, the gray-white rules of the Great Dao and the mighty power of chaos, intertwined and eroded each other wildly.

Every subtle collision of laws is equivalent to the annihilation of an ancient star.

Each clash of energies is enough to tear apart the boundaries of a vast world.

The two imposing figures had now completely abandoned all fancy techniques and probing, and entered the most primal stage of combat.

Gu Qingfeng transformed into a being from the netherworld, his feet treading upon the Yellow Springs, like a master of death, and charged toward the illusory god.

The waters of the underworld are surging and relentlessly eroding and consuming the other party.

The illusory god-lord manifests an immortal form, surrounded by the Great Dao River, like a chaotic god or demon who created the world.

The gray-white mist continued to spread, attempting to erode and assimilate Gu Qingfeng's Netherworld Domain and Yellow Springs Body.

The two figures flashed, collided, separated, and collided again in the shattered void!

With every breath, the two sides clashed and shook each other millions of times.

The speed was so fast that even the traces of time became blurred; only the terrifying aftershocks of energy, constantly exploding and spreading, silently recorded the brutality of this earth-shattering battle. Each collision's aftershock spread out like a world-destroying meteorite being thrown onto a calm, chaotic sea.

Even those powerful beings in other immortal realms, billions of miles away and in different voids, whose cultivation has reached the Heavenly Venerable level, can clearly feel the terrifying fluctuations that emanate from the depths of chaos, making their hearts tremble and their spirits shake.

"This...this is an immortal-level battle for survival!"

"What a terrifying aura! Even from such a great distance, it still makes my Dao heart uneasy!"

"It's the Mysterious Heavenly Immortal Emperor Gu Qingfeng battling the Void Phase God Lord! They've really started fighting!"

"Such power... Gu Qingfeng can actually fight an Immortal God Lord to this extent? It's simply unbelievable!"

Countless immortal realms trembled, and countless powerful figures were horrified.

The level and intensity of this battle have transcended the scope of a battle between Celestial Venerables, and have overturned their inherent understanding of the gap between Celestial Venerables and Immortals.

……

At the Purple Crape Myrtle Fairy Court.

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, clad in imperial robes, wearing a crown of stars, his face shrouded in a hazy celestial light, and whose aura seemed to merge with the entire endless celestial realm's starry sky, slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes seemed to hold the birth and death of the stars in the heavens, and the rise and fall of countless civilizations, profound and vast to the extreme.

He stepped out of the jade steps of the celestial palace.

"Om-!"

A heaven-reaching path, formed from supreme Daoist principles, appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, ignoring the obstacles of space and time, and disregarding the barriers of dimensions and laws, stretching straight into the depths of chaos.

Wherever the Great Dao passed, stars shone brightly to pave the way, and chaos retreated, daring not to obstruct it. Its immense power instantly alarmed the most elite beings in the endless immortal realm.

however.

Just a moment before this starlight-lit path to the heavens was about to pierce through the endless void and reach the edge of the battlefield.

A sudden change occurred!

The chaotic void in front of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor was like thick ink dripping into clear water, suddenly being soaked and covered by a deep, pure, absolute darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light and hope.

Followed by.

A figure draped in an ancient black robe, with an indistinct face, slowly emerged from the absolute darkness at its center.

His steps were slow, yet they seemed to be in step with the rhythm of the heartbeats of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

He didn't exude any terrifying aura, but the pure darkness itself was the most suffocating pressure.

Where he stood, even the starlight path extending from the feet of the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei seemed to be blocked and eroded by an invisible force, its light quickly dimming and its forward momentum coming to an abrupt halt.

"Eternal silence".

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei's gaze pierced through the celestial light and landed on the figure in black robes. His eyes remained indifferent and calm, like the unchanging starry sky, without the slightest ripple.

His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, resounding throughout the darkness-soaked void.

"You dare to obstruct me?"

These four simple words seem to weigh more than billions of stars, causing the surrounding chaos to freeze.

The Lord of Eternal Silence!

Among the evil god clan, he is a supreme being of equal rank to the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, standing at the pinnacle of the twelfth realm of immortality, and wielding power over a region's Great Dao.

Faced with the seemingly calm but actually imbued with supreme majesty and coldness question from the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, the blurred face of the Eternal Silence God Lord seemed to remain unchanged, only his abyss-like eyes met the starry eyes of the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

"This human has gone too far, repeatedly provoking our race. He must die!"

"Today, Xu Xiang has taken action to bring this matter to a close."

At this point, the Lord of Eternal Silence paused slightly, and a darker light seemed to flash in his abyss-like eyes.

"Ziwei, you should understand that beneath the immortal, all are but ants."

"He's just a human prodigy who hasn't truly attained the Dao yet. Even if he has some skills, why would he warrant your personal intervention?"

Followed by.

Before the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei could respond, the God Lord Yongji continued speaking, his tone seemingly becoming more sincere.

"You are about to undergo the tribulation of transcendence. If you are injured in a battle with me, you will have little chance of winning when you face the tribulation of transcendence again."

If you are willing to retreat, I can guarantee that the war between the two races will be completely ended. At least until you have transcended the tribulation of liberation, I will not lay a single soldier against the human race.

Furthermore, all the territories occupied by the evil god race over the previous three hundred billion years have been returned to humanity!

These two conditions are undeniably generous.

Cease the war and return the occupied territories.

This was an unprecedented show of weakness and compromise by the evil god race in their long history of conflict with the human race.

Especially for a being like the Eternal Silence God, who stands at the pinnacle, such a promise carries immense weight.

The voice of the Eternal Silence God Lord echoed in the void, his gaze hidden in the darkness fixed on the reaction of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor.

"In the end... Ziwei, we both know that you are not far from that tribulation of transcendence. That is a matter of life and death."

If you had fought me with all your might before this, regardless of the outcome, it would have inevitably damaged your Dao source and depleted your vital energy.

"At that time, carrying your damaged essence to face that perilous tribulation of transcendence, you should know better than the original self what the consequences will be."

His words were filled with rational analysis and seemingly well-intentioned reminders. He clearly laid out the stakes: for a child who had not yet matured...

The Eternal Silence God truly did not want to completely break ties with the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor at this moment.

As beings at the same level of the Twelfth Immortal Realm, who can be stronger than the other?

True.

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei is about to undergo his tribulation of transcendence, but the Eternal Silence God Lord is equally aware that his own tribulation of transcendence will not be much later than the other's.

If they were to fight to the death, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor would suffer a severe blow to his foundation, and he himself would not fare much better.

Both sides suffer.

This is not what the Eternal God Lord wanted to see.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, he would absolutely not want to fight against the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor.

But there is no way.

The message sent back by the Void God Lord not long ago made the Eternal Silence God Lord completely determined to stop the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor no matter what, and create the conditions for the former to kill Gu Qingfeng.

A monstrous being who wields the power of order is a truly immense threat.

Although the opponent only has 30 billion years to grow, the Eternal Silence God Lord still dares not gamble.

Three hundred billion years!

Tell me whether it will last long or not.

But no one knows how much the other party will grow during this period.

In the eyes of the Eternal God Lord, such potential threats to the entire evil god race must not be allowed to remain.

and so--

Gu Qingfeng must die.

Even if it means fighting against the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, we must nip this unparalleled prodigy of the human race in the bud.

Faced with the conditions offered by the Eternal Silence God, the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor remained silent. Instead, he flicked his sleeve, and countless stars rained down their celestial light, while boundless killing intent enveloped him directly.

As an existence at the twelfth level of the Immortal Realm, the moment the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor made his move, countless beings in the Immortal Realm felt a tightness in their hearts. Even Heavenly Venerables found it difficult to breathe under such terrifying pressure.

Seeing the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor make a move, the Eternal Silence God Lord's eyes also turned cold.

"Then let's see who's the best!"

The words fell.

This Immortal Realm 12 member of the Evil God Clan also made a direct attack. The instant the two Immortal Realm 12 powers collided, an invisible wave swept across the entire Endless Immortal Realm. (End of Chapter)
