Chapter 689
Innate Demon God
"Thank you, senior!"
The two bowed again, this time with even greater solemnity and piety than before.
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, acknowledging the gesture.
He then turned his gaze to the still struggling demonic corpse at his feet.
The demonic corpse was still moving.
Despite being trampled under Gu Qingfeng's feet, despite its chest collapsing and bones shattering, it still struggled, the madness in its single eye undiminished.
This is the horror of resentment.
Even after death, the obsession lingers, eventually transforming into a curse that prevents the body from finding peace, condemning it to eternal madness.
Gu Qingfeng looked at it calmly.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
"After all, he was the former supreme ruler. How can we allow resentment to cause trouble and tarnish the supreme ruler's reputation?"
The words fell.
He clenched his right fist and casually threw a punch.
"boom--!!!"
This punch did not produce any earth-shattering phenomena or possess any world-destroying power.
But the moment the fist struck, the demonic corpse that had struggled for countless millennia suddenly stiffened.
next moment.
Ashes.
That towering demonic body, those long black hairs, the madness and resentment in that single eye—all turned to dust in an instant and vanished into the world.
Not even a trace was left.
It's as if it never existed.
Within the Abyss of Demons, the decaying and deathly aura that had permeated the area for countless millennia slowly dissipated at this moment.
The world was finally restored to peace.
Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou stared blankly at this scene, speechless for a long time.
Gu Qingfeng withdrew his fist, and his divine sense spread out like a deep sea, instantly enveloping the entire Demon Abyss.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly.
In the vast Demon Abyss, apart from demonic corpses, there are no living beings.
The so-called demonic civilization has long since vanished.
That's normal.
When the Demon Lord sealed himself away, he also sealed the entire demonic civilization within this world. Those disciples who followed him, and all the beings connected to him, are all within this small world.
Even the Demon Lord could not escape the ravages of time, let alone them.
Even more terrifying is that after the Demon Lord fell, his resentment turned into a curse, controlling his corpse to wreak havoc.
Any living being that steps into this realm will become a target of the demonic corpse.
With the demonic corpse possessing strength comparable to a supreme being, even an Eight Tribulation Heavenly Venerable would find it difficult to escape death upon entering.
Over time, the Demon Abyss naturally became devoid of life.
As for the opportunity...
Gu Qingfeng scanned the entire Demon Abyss with his divine sense and finally determined that there was nothing of value in this place.
Unlike the Burial Immortal Ruins, which at least still has that ancient bronze bell and the remaining Daoist aura of that fallen supreme being.
The only remnant of the Demon Abyss is the Daoist principles that dissipated after the Demon Lord's fall.
However, those Daoist auras had long since become scattered and corrupted by resentment, filled with an aura of madness and curses.
For ordinary celestial beings, comprehending this kind of Daoist essence is tantamount to courting death.
For someone of Gu Qingfeng's level, it really doesn't mean much.
"Let's go."
Gu Qingfeng withdrew his divine sense and said calmly, "With the demonic corpse gone, there are no opportunities here."
He paused, then looked at Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou:
"Now that there are three forbidden zones left, which one is closest to the Abyss of Demons?"
Li Chenzhou pondered for a moment, then went through the memories in his mind.
After a moment, he spoke with certainty.
"If we're talking about the most recent one, it should be the Chaos Sea, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
"The Chaos Sea is located at the western edge of the starry sky, about five thousand star fields away."
Although there are several ordinary forbidden zones blocking the way, if traveling in a straight line, the Chaos Sea is indeed the closest thing to a supreme forbidden zone.
"The Chaotic Sea..."
Gu Qingfeng's eyes flickered slightly.
Li Chenzhou had previously mentioned the Chaos Sea—an extremely special forbidden zone, completely different from ordinary forbidden zones for life.
It was not formed because of the fall of a powerful figure, but originated from a naturally formed chaotic region that has existed since the beginning of time.
Legend has it that in the deepest part of the Chaos Sea, a primordial god or demon who existed since the beginning of time lies dormant.
That was a true half-step immortal being, whose existence was even older than most life forms in this starry sky.
Whether it perished or not, no one knows.
However, the Chaos Sea has been a forbidden zone since ancient times, and its danger level far exceeds that of ordinary forbidden zones. There are rumors that it can even be compared with the five supreme forbidden zones.
"Innate gods and demons..."
A hint of interest flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
Born of chaos, growing up in chaos, sharing the same origin as heaven and earth, and the same root as creation.
If such a being truly existed, its value would likely surpass that of the fallen supreme being from the Burial Immortal Ruins.
"Then let's go to the Chaos Sea."
Gu Qingfeng made a decision.
With a flick of his sleeve, the void twisted, and the three figures vanished from the Demon Abyss.
……
Another few months of trekking.
The western edge of the starry sky is far more desolate than the eastern or southern poles.
The stars here are sparse, mostly faint stars on the verge of death, with only a few burning stars whose light appears dim and weary.
Almost no signs of life were visible in the star fields along the way.
Occasionally, one can see a few stars that once nurtured civilizations, now only ruins remain, along with weathered skeletons.
"Most of the civilizations here were destroyed by darkness and turmoil."
Li Chenzhou explained, his tone tinged with complexity.
"The western edge of the starry sky is too far from the core territory of the human race. If an ancient celestial being were to launch a dark upheaval here, there would be no time to provide assistance."
Over time, this star field became increasingly desolate, eventually turning into its current state.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan sighed but did not reply.
They are all ancient celestial beings who survived from that era.
Having experienced darkness and turmoil, and later becoming the source of darkness and turmoil myself, seeing this scene now evokes some emotions within me.
Gu Qingfeng did not respond.
His gaze remained fixed ahead.
There exists a strange galaxy there.
It was a vast star field, roughly a thousand connected star fields forming a boundless galaxy.
But strangely, the void was filled with chaotic rules of the Great Dao.
These rules are like an invisible storm, sometimes gathering, sometimes dissipating, and sometimes colliding with each other, unleashing terrifying power capable of tearing stars apart.
A massive star was being swept past Gu Qingfeng and his companions by a sudden storm of rules.
next moment.
The star exploded like an egg crushed by an invisible giant hand, shattering into countless fragments that scattered in all directions!
Those fragments were then swept up by the subsequent turbulent flow of rules, shredded into even finer dust, and eventually disappeared completely!
"Is this the Chaos Sea?"
Feng Xuan gasped.
The galaxy before him was completely different from the forbidden zone he had imagined.
There was no resentment, no deathly aura, and no strange curses.
But that pervasive chaos and disorder, that ever-present destruction and death, is more terrifying than any resentment or curse!
Because resentment and curses can at least be prevented and resisted.
And this chaotic flow of rules has no idea when it will appear, where it will come from, or how powerful it is!
Perhaps one moment you are walking peacefully forward, and the next you are overwhelmed by a sudden torrent of rules, and your body and soul are destroyed!
Li Chenzhou took a deep breath and slowly nodded:
"Indeed, this is the Chaos Sea." "Unlike other forbidden zones of life, the Great Dao rules in the Chaos Sea are chaotic and disordered, and the dangers within are unpredictable."
"Perhaps a place that seems safe may be destroyed by the rules of destruction in the next instant, erasing everything."
He paused, then added.
"If the dangers of other forbidden zones of life can be traced, then the dangers of the Chaos Sea are impossible to detect."
"For the weak, the Chaos Sea is the least dangerous of all the forbidden zones for life. They can survive in the Chaos Sea simply because they are lucky enough."
"But for the strong, the Chaos Sea is actually the most dangerous."
"Because the strong often try to explore deeply, and once they encounter the turbulent currents of the rules, it is extremely difficult to get out."
"To be precise, the Chaos Sea should be the most dangerous forbidden zone for life, apart from the five supreme forbidden zones for life."
"Because this place is chaotic and disorderly, no one knows when disaster will strike, so many celestial beings keep their distance from the Chaos Sea and no one would rashly step into this place."
He had barely finished speaking—
"Boom!!!"
In the distance, a terrifying storm suddenly formed!
That storm was formed by countless fragments of the Great Dao rules, each fragment containing terrifying power enough to annihilate an ordinary Celestial Venerable!
The storm swept through, and the stars along the way turned to dust one after another, as if they were made of paper.
The vast expanse of space, after the storm, was completely reduced to nothingness!
And the direction of that storm—
They were heading straight for Gu Qingfeng and his two companions!
Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou's expressions changed drastically!
They could clearly feel that the power contained in that storm was enough to completely annihilate them!
"senior!"
The two gasped in surprise and instinctively tried to back away.
But Gu Qingfeng did not back down.
He simply watched the sweeping storm of rules unfold, his expression calm and composed.
When the storm was within ten thousand miles, he finally moved.
Raise your hand.
make a fist.
Blast out.
"boom--!!!"
With a single punch, the air itself solidified wherever the force of the punch passed!
That storm of rules, powerful enough to destroy everything, was like hitting an invisible and intangible wall in front of this punch!
The storm raged on, and fragments of rules shattered wildly, but the wall remained completely still!
Three breaths later.
The storm dissipated.
Those fragments of rules lost their cohesion, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the chaotic sea.
however.
Just as the storm of rules dissipated—
"boom!!!"
The power of this punch calmed the storm of rules, but it seemed to enrage the entire chaotic sea. All sorts of terrifying power of rules appeared, turning into a world-destroying torrent that crashed down on Gu Qingfeng.
This terrifying aura turned both Li Chenzhou and Feng Xuan deathly pale.
As Eight Tribulation Celestial Venerables, they sensed the aura of death within them.
This level of power is simply beyond their ability to contend with.
However, Gu Qingfeng remained calm.
He looked at the overwhelming torrent of rules, and a faint smile even appeared on his lips.
"That's interesting."
He murmured to himself.
Then--
With a thought.
An ancient bronze bell emerged from his body!
The ancient bell was about three zhang tall, and its surface was engraved with countless ancient and mysterious patterns.
It was that ninth-grade creation treasure obtained from the Burial Immortal Ruins!
"clang--!!!"
The bell vibrated!
A distant and ancient bell tolls, as if traversing trillions of years, echoing from the distant past!
The sound of the bell transformed into visible ripples that spread in all directions. The entire Chaos Sea seemed to be paused in the face of that bell!
Immediately afterwards, it collapsed completely.
But before this force could truly subside, an even more ancient force revived from the depths of the starry sky.
That instant.
The entire galaxy seemed to be trembling violently.
An indescribable and terrifying pressure then spread out.
Under such pressure, Feng Xuan and Li Chenzhou were the first to be affected. Their qi and blood seemed to stagnate, and the absolute level of suppression made it difficult for them to breathe.
Their pupils widened as they stared intently into the depths of the starry sky, as if they had witnessed some great terror.
There it was.
As the Milky Way surged, two divine lights suddenly pierced through the void from an ancient star, followed by a voice that sounded like the voice of the Great Dao, causing many stars to silently annihilate in the face of this voice.
"Outsiders..."
The voice was very slow, as if it hadn't been uttered for many years.
at the same time.
Seeing this, Feng Xuan exclaimed in shock, "Could the rumors about the Chaos Sea be true? Is there really a primordial demon god living here?!"
He looked at the ancient star that appeared in the Milky Way. If he looked closely, he would find that the so-called star was actually a head, with the facial features clearly visible.
The so-called two beams of divine light were actually the other party's open eyes.
If a head is already so enormous, it's hard to imagine how enormous the body of such a being must be.
more importantly.
The mere aura emanating from this innate demon god was enough to render Feng Xuan utterly incapable of any resistance.
That was absolute suppression!
It was as if the other party could wipe him out completely with just a finger.
Not only was Feng Xuan shocked, but Li Chenzhou, who was standing next to him, was also shocked.
Li Chenzhou was also skeptical about the rumors of the innate demon god.
Or perhaps...
Even if there truly are innate demon gods in the Chaos Sea, their strength would at most be at the Supreme level.
But now—
Looking at the head that rivaled the ancient stars, Li Chenzhou suddenly felt a bit absurd.
What supreme being!
The aura of these beings is terrifying, far exceeding that of even the Supreme Being.
If the other party wanted to eliminate me, it would probably be an easy thing for them.
Only Gu Qingfeng, looking at the head that was comparable to a star, showed a rare expression of interest.
"What a formidable innate demon god! It is said that you have existed since the beginning of the creation of this starry sky. I wonder if it is true or not!"
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had shown such an expression since he had conquered so many restricted areas.
the reason is simple.
The aura of the innate demon god before him was very strong. Although the other party deliberately suppressed it, Gu Qingfeng could still feel it.
This is a true dragon from the Forbidden Zone of the Burial Gods, a being even stronger than the Half-Step Immortal of the Burial Immortal Ruins and the Demon Lord of the Demon Abyss.
Or perhaps...
The opponent's aura was stronger than any half-step immortal that Gu Qingfeng had ever seen.
This is true not only in this starry sky, but also in the endless immortal realm. (End of Chapter)
