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

Lord of Guixu?

The name flashed through Chu Feng's mind quickly, then went blank.

He had never heard of it.

However, within the coffin of burial deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, a raging storm was brewing.

"The Lord of Guixu?! It's actually him!" For the first time, Master Li Er's gentle and peaceful voice fluctuated violently, filled with disbelief.

The forbidden remnant souls, including the Thunder Lord, the Demoness, and the Unfettered Monk, also fell into a deathly silence.

This title seems to possess some kind of indescribable magic, rendering even the most powerful beings who once stirred up the ancient winds and clouds speechless.

Chu Feng's heart stirred, and he asked in his mind, "Senior, do you know him?"

The Master's voice was unusually solemn: "I don't know him. But... I once saw some fragmentary records about him in a long-ruined ancient ruin."

"This person was an unparalleled powerhouse from ancient times! He created the Great Dao of Returning to the Void, proved his Dao through Returning to the Void, and stepped into the legendary fairyland!"

Ancient times?

Chu Feng frowned slightly.

He only knows about the present era, as well as the ancient and primordial eras.

What was the ancient era?

Seemingly sensing Chu Feng's doubts, the Master explained in a deep voice, "Ancient times are the era before the Primordial Era. A more glorious and mysterious era. However, for some unknown reason, that era seems to have been forcibly erased from the river of time by an invisible force."

"The lineage was severed, the ancient books turned to ashes, and everything vanished completely. As a result, very few people in the later Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, and even this present era know of its existence. Now, it is likely that no one in the entire universe knows that before the Primordial Era, there was once an ancient era that was extremely brilliant."

Hearing the Master's explanation, Chu Feng's mind was greatly shaken.

An era forgotten by history.

An existence even older than the Primordial Era.

The guy in front of me who calls himself the "Lord of the Ruins" is actually a figure from that era?

He looked at the illusory figure in imperial robes again, and his expression changed.

"You... are the founder of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land?" Chu Feng asked tentatively.

"The Sacred Land of Heavenly Ruins?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Guixu let out a disdainful sneer, as if he had heard some enormous joke.

"A tiny holy land that even the Great Emperor barely survived dares to associate itself with me?"

He looked arrogantly at Chu Feng, as if he were looking down on an ant.

"The founder of this place was merely someone who accidentally obtained my natal magic weapon, the 'Return to the Void Tower,' and by chance activated a remnant soul imprint that I had been sleeping in the tower."

"Seeing that he had some comprehension, I casually pointed out a few words to him. Unexpectedly, he actually made a name for himself."

The Lord of Guixu spoke with an air of charity and indifference, as if he were talking about something trivial.

His gaze swept over Chu Feng, scrutinizing him: "Judging from your appearance, you're also from the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land? No, the aura around you is very mixed; you don't seem like someone who specializes in the Dao of Returning to the Ruins."

Chu Feng calmly replied, "The Heavenly Ruins Holy Land has already been destroyed by me."

After these words were spoken, a brief silence fell over the underground palace.

The illusory figure of the Lord of the Ruins paused noticeably for a moment.

His gray eyes, which seemed capable of devouring everything, fell back on Chu Feng, this time with a hint of genuine scrutiny.

A moment later, he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha! Interesting, really interesting!"

"Let it be destroyed. A lineage that was established with my guidance dares to call itself a holy land. It's utterly ridiculous."

Far from showing any anger, he instead revealed a hint of appreciation.

"Young man, you're quite impressive. In all the years I've been asleep, you're the first person who has dared to speak to me so calmly."

"What's your name?"

"Chu Feng".

"Chu Feng..." the Lord of Guixu murmured, then nodded. "You have great courage and your aptitude is also quite good. I admire you quite a bit."

His tone shifted, and his voice took on an undeniable air of authority.

"Alright then, kneel down and acknowledge me as your master. From this day forward, you will be my sole successor in this world. I will personally impart to you the supreme Dao of Returning to Nothingness, helping you reach the pinnacle and overlook this already shattered heaven."

Becoming an apprentice?

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng shook his head almost without hesitation.

"No need, I have a master."

The Lord of Guixu frowned, seemingly not expecting that his olive branch would be so readily rejected by an "ant".

His voice turned cold: "Your master? Who is he? In all the realms of existence, whose achievements can compare to mine?"

In his mind, he was an immortal from ancient times, the master of the Great Dao of Returning to the Void, and a being who stood at the pinnacle of all living beings.

There is no one in this world stronger than him.

Chu Feng, however, said in a serious tone, "My master is stronger than you."

He truly did not know just how terrifying the peak strength of his master, "Yuan," that deity, was.

However, the "Undying Chaos Scripture" and the Chaos Origin Mill left by the master were only the tip of the iceberg, yet they were enough to obliterate the Great Emperor-level Abyss powerhouse "Devouring".

Chaos is the beginning of all things.

Guixu is the end of all paths.

Chu Feng knew in his heart who was stronger and who was weaker.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Chu Feng's reply, the Lord of Guixu instantly flew into a rage.

An immense pressure, so terrifying that it seemed to freeze the very space around him, erupted from his illusory figure, crashing down on Chu Feng like a million mountains.

"Snap! Snap!"

Chu Feng's body instantly emitted the sound of bones cracking under the strain.

His legs buckled, and he almost fell to his knees.

But he persevered.

The immortal blood within his body circulated wildly, and the domineering battle intent of his ancestral bloodline soared to the sky, desperately resisting the terrifying pressure that seemed to want to crush him into dust.

"Boy! How dare you look down on me!"

The voice of the Lord of the Ruins was filled with fury, as if his wrath had been violated.

He felt he had been humiliated like never before.

How dare a mere ant in the Void God Realm claim that his master is stronger than him?

This is the greatest blasphemy against him!

"Boy, don't try to fight him head-on! This person is an ancient immortal. Even if he is just a remnant soul, he is not someone you can withstand right now!" Thunder Lord roared anxiously in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Young man, a real man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Give in first!"

Chu Feng seemed not to hear him. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and large beads of sweat kept sliding down his face.

He raised his head, grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth stained with blood, and said with difficulty, "I'm just... stating a fact."
