I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These seven days were earth-shattering for the entire Kyushu continent. But for the members of the Holy Gate, they spent them in an atmosphere of extreme oppression.

Su Mei stood guard outside the tightly closed secret room like the most loyal protector, never leaving its side. Any elder or disciple who dared to approach was ruthlessly suppressed by her.

Throughout the Holy Gate, people were filled with unease.

Until the morning of the seventh day.

Boom! ...

A deep, thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the secret room without warning!

Immediately afterwards, the entire sacred gate, along with the mountain range below it, began to tremble violently, as if an ancient ferocious beast that had been sleeping for ten thousand years was about to awaken!

A vast and powerful pressure, filled with the aura of both birth and destruction, swept out of the secret chamber like a tsunami!

Click!

The secret chamber stone door, forged from ten-thousand-year-old black iron and engraved with defensive runes, was instantly covered with cracks and shattered under the impact of this pressure!

A tall, upright figure, bathed in brilliant golden light, slowly emerged from the billowing dust.

Su Mei suddenly looked up, and the moment her gaze fell upon that figure, she froze.

It was still that familiar face, but his entire demeanor had undergone a complete transformation.

Previously, Chu Feng was sharp and unseen, like a sword drawn from its sheath. But now, his aura is restrained, like a bottomless abyss, impossible to fathom.

He simply stood there quietly, as if he had become one with the world around him.

What terrified Su Mei even more was that she sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Chu Feng that far surpassed the Nirvana Realm!

The Realm of Life and Death!

Moreover, the sheer power of that aura was far beyond what one would expect from someone just entering the Life and Death Realm!

"Congratulations... Congratulations, Master, on mastering your divine skill!" Su Mei suppressed the turmoil in her heart and quickly bowed in greeting.

"What's the situation outside?" Chu Feng asked calmly, his voice even, yet carrying an air of authority.

Su Mei's expression instantly turned serious. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Master, the Nine Provinces Continent... is in complete chaos."

"What happened?"

"It's the Senluo Palace!" A hint of apprehension flashed in Su Mei's eyes. "Ever since your battle with the powerful beings from the Upper Realm, Master, the Senluo Palace, which had disappeared for ten thousand years, has suddenly resurfaced!"

"Taking advantage of the Dao Alliance's leader, Xuan Tian Dao Zhu's, fall and the headquarters being left vulnerable, they seized control of the Dao Alliance with overwhelming force and massacred all dissenting forces!"

"Currently, the majority of the Central Continent has fallen under the control of the Senluo Palace. Moreover, their ambitions don't stop there; they are using the Central Continent as a center to expand wildly towards the other eight continents!"

Su Mei's tone grew increasingly heavy: "Lingzhou, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, Hanzhou... they have all fallen!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that such a dramatic change would occur in the outside world during the short seven days he was in seclusion.

"What about the Great Xia Dynasty?" he asked eagerly.

"The Empress of Great Xia was severely injured in the previous battle and is still in seclusion to recuperate. With the army of the Senluo Palace pressing in, the main force of the Great Xia Dynasty had no choice but to abandon large swathes of territory and retreat to its main base in the Northern Wilderness, where it struggles to hold on by relying on its geographical advantage."

Just then.

Waaah—!

A chilling gust of wind swept through the entire Holy Gate without warning.

In the distance, a thick black cloud was sweeping towards the Holy Gate at an alarming speed. Above the cloud, dozens of figures exuding a sinister aura of death appeared and disappeared.

The leader, a man in black robes, let out a piercing laugh like that of a night owl: "Heh heh heh... Where is the Holy Gate Master? I am a protector of the Senluo Palace, sent by the Palace Master to offer you amnesty! If you know what's good for you, obediently open your gates and submit to the Senluo Palace, otherwise, today will be the day your Holy Gate is annihilated!"

The voice, carrying the oppressive power of a Nirvana Realm cultivator, was extremely arrogant and echoed above the Holy Gate.

Su Mei's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

However, Chu Feng's face remained completely expressionless.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the overwhelming black clouds, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Perfect, I'll use you guys to test my skills."

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the spot.

next second.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the group of powerful figures from the Senluo Palace.

"Who is it?!" The black-robed protector at the head of the group's pupils shrank, as he hadn't even seen how the other party had appeared.

"The ones who will kill you."

Chu Feng didn't bother with words and simply threw a punch.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling divine light.

It was just an ordinary punch.

However, the expression on the face of the black-robed protector who was at the Nirvana Realm instantly froze.

He felt an indescribable, terrifying force locking onto him, preventing him from even having the thought of dodging.

boom!

A muffled thud.

The arrogant black-robed protector, along with dozens of elite members of the Senluo Palace behind him, were silently annihilated into the most primitive particles by that one punch, just like ice and snow exposed to sunlight.

Not even a trace of blood mist remained.

One punch, and the whole team is wiped out!

After doing all this, Chu Feng's figure flashed again, returning to Su Mei's side as if he had merely crushed an ant.

Su Mei was utterly shocked, and a deep sense of fear arose in her heart towards Chu Feng!

Chu Feng ignored her shock and turned his gaze back to the distance, his deep eyes flashing with a cold light.

"The Palace of Senluo..."

He swayed and grabbed a low-ranking member of the Senluo Palace who was paralyzed on the dark cloud by the aftershock of the punch.

"Take me to your lair."

The henchman was already terrified and dared not disobey in the slightest. His finger trembled as he pointed towards the very center of Zhongzhou.

That place was once the sacred mountain and blessed land of the Dao Alliance.

But now, it is shrouded in endless black mist and deathly aura, transformed into a ghostly realm on earth.

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Senluo Palace, formerly the main hall of the Dao Alliance.

The ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the past is long gone, replaced by endless gloom and eeriness.

Black chains, formed from countless vengeful spirits, were wrapped around the beams and pillars of the main hall. Blood-red, eerie runes were engraved on the ground, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and death.

On the throne at the very top of the hall, reclined a handsome young man with an incredibly eerie aura.

His long silver hair was casually draped over his shoulders, a playful, wicked smile playing on his lips, and a pair of purple eyes that seemed to see into the deepest darkness of people's hearts.

Below him, two stunningly beautiful figures were bound by a powerful restrictive force and knelt on the ground.

It was Nangong Shuang and her niece, Nangong Yue.
