Chapter 675
Dongji, you're asking for death!
"The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation... has been broken!"
On the outskirts of the battlefield, countless human celestial beings who were fiercely fighting against the army of evil gods, yet who were always keeping a part of their attention on the core battlefield, turned pale instantly when they saw the crimson sword domain that covered the heavens collapse. A hint of undisguised horror and panic flashed in their eyes.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is now renowned, and many cultivators consider it Gu Qingfeng's signature move.
Now that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation has been broken, they naturally have a feeling that something terrible is about to happen.
"Could it be... that even Emperor Gu Tian couldn't withstand the siege of thirteen top-tier evil gods?"
"The sword formation has been broken, what other tricks does Emperor Gu have up his sleeve?"
"The situation is dire. Should we make plans soon...?"
Some of the human cultivators who came had begun to waver, and when they made their moves, they became more hesitant and reserved, and even began to secretly observe their escape routes.
However, Gu Qingfeng, who was firmly surrounded by thirteen towering evil god avatars, never showed the slightest fear on his face from beginning to end.
His deep, abyss-like eyes remained calm, as if what had just been broken was not his signature killing formation, but some insignificant trinket.
"receive."
With a slight thought, the dimly lit crimson array disc in front of him trembled slightly and then silently disappeared into his sleeve.
Then, he took a step forward.
This step, though taken in the void, felt as if it had landed on a node of some great Dao.
"Splash—!!!"
With this step, a deafening sound, as if from the deepest depths of the netherworld, suddenly resounded in the void!
A vast, turbid river, exuding an aura of decadence, suddenly surged forth from nothingness, manifesting out of thin air and lying between Gu Qingfeng and the thirteen evil god avatars!
The river water was murky and viscous, in which countless struggling phantoms, broken bones, and twisted vengeful spirits floated, along with a strange quality that seemed capable of corroding everything.
It is one of the powers that Gu Qingfeng possesses—the Yellow Springs!
Despite being suppressed by the rules of the secret realm, the Yellow Springs, which had already entered the third stage and contained immortal power, could not fully display its full power and was suppressed to the peak of the second stage.
Even so, the aura emanating from this filthy river is enough to make any Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable tremble with fear, as if facing the ultimate fate of life, their soul about to be swallowed by the endless death and depravity!
"Do you really think that just because you broke the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, you are my match?"
Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back at the source of the Yellow Springs, his black imperial robes fluttering in the wind. His voice was cold and full of supreme majesty, clearly reaching the ears of every evil god and echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
"Whether you are in the outside world or in this suppressed secret realm, in my eyes you are nothing but ants that I can crush with a flick of my hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently waved his sleeve forward.
"boom--!!!"
The murky Yellow Springs that stretched across the starry sky suddenly boiled!
The towering, turbid waves surged into the sky, transforming into hundreds of millions of ferocious, roaring Yellow Springs dragons. Each one exuded a terrifying Daoist aura that corrupted all things and caused souls to sink. Baring its fangs and claws, it was like a world-destroying flood, engulfing the thirteen towering evil god avatars in front of it!
Wherever the waves passed, space was corroded into pitted, hollow holes, and even the starlight was tinged with an ominous, dim yellow!
"Arrogant!!"
"You dare to spout such nonsense even when you're about to die!"
"Today I will make this Yellow Springs your own burial ground!"
Gu Qingfeng's undisguised contempt and domineering declaration thoroughly enraged the evil gods, including the Heavenly Punishment God.
In particular, the Heavenly Punishment God Lord was so enraged that he laughed, and the three heads of the evil god's avatar simultaneously let out a deafening roar!
"Smash to me!!!"
The Destruction God form that the Heavenly Punishment God Lord had transformed into no longer wielded the River of Destruction with its six arms. Instead, they suddenly merged into one and clenched into a fist!
His fist was condensed with destructive demonic light compressed to the extreme, as if he were holding a destructive star about to explode!
Facing the surging torrent of evil dragons from the underworld, he threw a punch without any fancy moves!
This punch was simple, domineering, and pure to the extreme!
It contains a destructive will to break everything and end everything!
"BOOM—!!!"
The moment the fist collided with the torrent of evil dragons from the underworld, it was as if two worlds were colliding!
The moment countless evil dragons from the underworld came into contact with that destructive fist energy, they howled and disintegrated as if they had encountered their nemesis, turning back into filthy river water!
The terrifying force of the punch pierced through the dragons and slammed into the body of the Yellow Springs, causing large swaths of Yellow Springs water to evaporate!
Countless filthy water droplets splashed in all directions like a deadly poisonous rain. Each droplet contained extremely strong corrosive power, corroding the void it touched into pitch-black holes, making a sizzling sound!
"Let's attack together! Crush him!"
The other twelve evil god lords also roared simultaneously, each unleashing their supernatural powers.
Various terrifying attacks poured down like a torrential rain on the River of the Dead and the area where Gu Qingfeng was located!
Under the suppression of the Immortal Realm's rules, the power of the Yellow Springs, though strong, could not withstand the combined onslaught of thirteen top-tier god-lords.
The waves were constantly being pounded and the river water was evaporated in large quantities. The murky river that stretched across the starry sky became dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Gu Qingfeng's expression remained cold and composed, showing no sign of panic.
Just as the power of the Yellow Springs was being suppressed by the combined forces of the thirteen evil gods and was about to be completely crushed, his aura suddenly changed!
A more profound and terrifying Daoist aura, seemingly originating from the end of all things and the source of the universe's annihilation, rose from his body!
The power of the Netherworld Dao erupted with a deafening roar!
A deep, dark light enveloped Gu Qingfeng. He slowly raised his right hand, and endless dark laws gathered in his palm!
A divine sword, entirely black and seemingly materialized from the purest annihilation and nothingness, materialized out of thin air in his palm!
The blade is long and narrow with a perfect curve. There is no cold light at the edge, only an extreme darkness that devours all light!
On the hilt of the sword, the faint phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation floats and sinks, as if holding the destiny of all things!
"Destroy".
Gu Qingfeng uttered a single word softly.
This word seemed to possess magic, instantly igniting all the annihilating true meaning within that pitch-black divine blade!
"Zheng—!!!"
A sword cry, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Netherworld, rang out. Though not loud, it directly affected the very souls of all living beings, bringing a terrifying tremor of impending doom and the emptiness of the Great Dao!
The next moment, Gu Qingfeng, holding the Netherworld Heavenly Blade, lightly slashed towards the area where the thirteen evil god avatars were located.
There was no earth-shattering flash of a sword, no sharp edge that could tear apart galaxies.
Only a pure, ethereal light, seemingly capable of devouring all existence and concepts, quietly emerged from the blade and then spread out silently.
This faint light started as a single ray, but in the instant it spread, it multiplied into billions!
Each faint ray of light is like a wisp of the most primal power of termination, ignoring spatial distance and supernatural defenses, directly impacting the very essence of the target's existence!
Like living ghosts, they traversed the battlefield, which was in chaos due to various supernatural powers and demonic lights, precisely finding the power core of the thirteen evil god avatars, and then—eroding them!
"What?!" "Oh no! This is the power of the Netherworld!!"
The expressions of the thirteen evil god lords, including the Heavenly Punishment God Lord, changed drastically for the first time, revealing unprecedented solemnity and a trace of horror!
This attack method is bizarre, domineering, and directly targets the root of the problem!
It is even more terrifying than the Yellow Springs and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
"kill!"
The Heavenly Punishment God Lord was filled with shock and rage. He frantically activated his Evil God Dharma Form, his six arms flailing wildly, unleashing even more terrifying destructive waves, attempting to crush the omnipresent annihilating light with absolute power.
The other deities also displayed their unique abilities.
In an instant, the center of the battlefield became even more chaotic and violent.
Although the power of the underworld was suppressed, it still stubbornly surged and corroded.
The countless annihilating rays of light unleashed by the black divine blade, like a leech, frantically eroded the thirteen Dharma forms; while the thirteen evil gods, like enraged primordial beasts, unleashed even more ferocious power.
This scene ignited the killing intent and apprehension within the Heavenly Punishment God Lord, burning wildly like wildfire, almost bursting through his chest!
"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"
He was screaming wildly inside.
"Even under the suppression of the immortal rules, he can still be this strong!"
He originally thought that by combining the power of thirteen top-tier gods, he could crush Gu Qingfeng with overwhelming force in a short period of time.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
This strength was completely beyond his comprehension!
"This child... must not be allowed to live! If we fail to kill him here today, once he leaves the secret realm, returns to the outside world, and regains his full, immortal power... he will be an eternal nightmare for our race! We must kill him at all costs!"
The Heavenly Punishment God's murderous intent had become unwavering.
However, just as the battle reached its most intense and critical moment, another unexpected event occurred!
"boom--!!!"
A crimson divine light, as radiant as the sun yet containing an unparalleled sharpness capable of tearing apart the heavens and piercing through eternity, emerged without warning from the chaotic starry sky on the flank of the battlefield. With unstoppable force, it ruthlessly tore through layers of spatial barriers, like a furious crimson dragon, and stormed straight into this most intense battlefield.
Wherever the divine light passed, evil spirits retreated, demonic light dimmed, and even the omnipresent annihilating light seemed to be driven back by its scorching and magnificent sharpness!
The divine light faded, and a figure stepped out into the air.
He wore a crimson-gold imperial robe embroidered with the Purple Star and the map of mountains and rivers, and a seven-star crown. His face was majestic and handsome, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. He exuded a vast imperial aura of someone who had long held a high position and ruled over all directions.
In his hand, he held a divine spear, its entire body as red as blood, its tip emitting a chilling light that would make even the stars tremble!
It is none other than the Eastern Emperor, one of the Four Extreme Emperors of the Purple Star Immortal Court!
He had actually arrived at the perimeter of the battlefield long ago, but did not show himself immediately.
Instead, they were secretly observing and assessing Gu Qingfeng's true combat strength and situation.
If Gu Qingfeng shows signs of weakness, he will try to provide support and help him break through the encirclement, thus preserving the spark of hope for the future of humanity.
This is the safest option.
But Gu Qingfeng's combat prowess far exceeded his expectations!
Facing thirteen opponents alone, with the Yellow Springs and the Netherworld all emerging, he not only did not lose, but also showed signs of resisting or even counterattacking!
With such strength, why would they need backup to break through?
This clearly demonstrates the potential to confront them head-on and even win!
The assessment changed instantly!
The Eastern Emperor's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart!
Since Emperor Gu has such strength, why should he retreat?
Why not join forces and achieve a decisive victory in one battle, severely crippling or even annihilating the top forces of the evil god here, so that the human race can completely control the secret realm and lay an unparalleled foundation?
"Emperor Gu, do not panic! I am here to help you!"
The Eastern Emperor let out a long laugh, his voice shaking the starry sky, announcing his arrival and stance.
His gaze immediately locked onto the most powerful aura of the Heavenly Punishment God Lord, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!
"The Eastern Emperor?"
"The Emperor of the Purple Star Celestial Court! He's here too!"
A deafening cheer and shout erupted from the human camp. The morale, which had been somewhat low due to the breaking of the sword formation, surged instantly!
On the other hand, the thirteen god lords of the evil god's side, especially the god lord of heavenly punishment, had their faces turn extremely ugly instantly, as if they had swallowed a fly.
Emperor of the Eastern Pole!
The powerful emperor of the Ziwei Immortal Court, a veteran half-step immortal powerhouse, is by no means an easy opponent!
Gu Qingfeng was already so troublesome, and now with the addition of the Eastern Emperor—
"Damn it! What are the other good-for-nothings doing! Why didn't anyone stop him?"
The evil god cursed inwardly.
However, they also knew that with the strength of the Eastern Emperor, unless several gods of the same level joined forces to defend against it, ordinary evil gods would not be able to stop its advance.
Their most powerful forces are currently being firmly restrained by Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng naturally recognized the Eastern Emperor. Although they had never met, he was already familiar with the appearance and aura of the four emperors of the Purple Star Immortal Court.
Seeing the other party lend a helping hand, a barely perceptible ripple flashed across his eyes.
"The Emperor of the Eastern Pole".
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, his voice remaining calm.
"Good work."
"You're too kind, Emperor Gu!"
The Eastern Emperor spoke loudly, brandishing his crimson divine spear, its scorching light pointing directly at the Heavenly Punishment God Lord, his fighting spirit blazing.
"We are all human beings, fighting against evil together. There is no need for thanks. Leave the Heavenly Punishment to me!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Eastern Emperor had already taken a step forward!
"boom--!!!"
His crimson-gold imperial robe shone brightly, and behind him seemed to emerge a vast phantom of a star field, with boundless stellar power empowering him!
The crimson divine spear in his hand unleashed a terrifying sharpness that could pierce through the universe!
"Heavenly Punishment! Prepare to die!"
With a roar, the Eastern Emperor merged with his spear, transforming into a crimson rainbow that tore through the starry river. Ignoring spatial distance, it carried a resolute killing intent that could burn the eight wastelands and pierce through eternity, directly piercing the evil god form transformed by the Heavenly Punishment God.
That shot was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Its overwhelming power and sharp edge sent chills down the spine of the Heavenly Punishment God Lord, and a strong sense of deadly crisis surged into his heart!
He had no choice but to temporarily abandon his suppression of Gu Qingfeng. The six arms of the Evil God Dharma Form returned to defense, gathering all the destructive demonic light to meet the piercing crimson spear light!
"Dongji! You're asking for death!!" (End of Chapter)
