The shadow of death loomed over his mind; this was the first time Gu Qingfeng had felt such a strong sense of threat since entering the Endless Immortal Domain.
The power contained in this finger had already surpassed the realm he could comprehend; it was a true dimensional suppression.
However, he did not retreat.
Facing this finger that could destroy heaven and earth, the battle intent in Gu Qingfeng's eyes burned brighter.
His entire being penetrated the void with the Netherworld Path; the apparition of the Eighteen Layers of Hell manifested behind him, transforming into an unparalleled domain, attempting to block this strike's power.
Sword Mountain and Fire Sea, oil cauldrons and ice peaks—
The Eighteen Layers of Hell each displayed their might, forming an indestructible barrier.
This was currently Gu Qingfeng's strongest defensive method, which had once blocked joint attacks from several top Divine Lords.
Yet, as the Immortal Finger descended, even the Eighteen Layers of Hell shattered inch by inch.
Sword Mountain collapsed, Fire Sea extinguished, oil cauldrons overturned, ice peaks melted—
The Eighteen Layers of Hell, in front of this finger, were as fragile as paper, unable to resist even for an instant.
The Eighteen Layers of Hell, which several top Divine Lords couldn't break through, couldn't even withstand a breath under the Immortal Finger.
This showcased the gap between the Immortal and the Heavenly Venerate, a fundamental difference in the level of life.
This scene caused Gu Qingfeng's pupils to contract suddenly.
But he did not give up, and soon an infinite flood of Yellow Springs Water engulfed the sky and earth.
The turbid river waters roared and surged; countless souls emerged from the Yellow Springs, emitting tragic wails, as if determined to completely devour this finger.
These souls were transformed from Evil Gods devoured by the Yellow Springs, and at this moment, under Gu Qingfeng's urging, they turned into a terrifying torrent charging towards the finger.
"Boom—"
However, the might of the Immortal was beyond comparison to that of a Heavenly Venerate.
Before countless souls could even truly touch the finger, they were utterly annihilated.
The grim faces vanished instantly upon contacting the Dao Rhythm emanating from the finger, like snow meeting the sun.
The once surging Yellow Springs Water was now suppressed and stagnant.
The turbid river was no longer flowing under the pressure of the finger, and its aura of death was completely suppressed.
However, as Gu Qingfeng expended all his power to urge the Yellow Springs, the previously suppressed Yellow Springs boiled again.
Gu Qingfeng perfectly melded his own Great Tao with the Yellow Springs, using supreme will to control this Netherworld Holy River.
Finally, the monstrous river transformed into a sky-shielding barrier, forcibly blocking the power of the finger.
Yellow Springs Water and the Immortal Finger collided fiercely in the void, unleashing waves of destruction capable of annihilating heaven and earth.
In an instant, the Yellow Springs shattered, and the void perished.
Centered around the point of collision, billions of miles of chaos were instantaneously reduced to nothingness.
Space-time lost its meaning in that moment; the Great Tao ceased to operate.
The destructive waves, from their point of origin, swept outward in all directions.
The chaotic qi flow was thoroughly disrupted, forming terrifying space-time storms.
Countless miles of void, as well as innumerable stars of the Immortal Domain, were reduced to dust under this power.
Some nearby Immortal Domains crumbled directly, with the beings within vanishing before even being able to scream.
Once the Yellow Springs dispersed and the waves subsided, all that was left in the void was shattered space-time and rampant chaotic qi flow.
Gu Qingfeng was nowhere to be seen, leaving it unknown whether he had perished or seized the opportunity to flee.
...
Meanwhile, within the Immortal Divine Country.
The Immortal God Master seated upon the Emperor's Throne stirred slightly, watching the space before him gradually mend, as a lingering power encircled his right index finger, attempting to continually corrode its Dao Rhythm.
This power was filled with the aura of death and reincarnation, the remnant of the Power of Yellow Springs.
Yet with a single thought from the Immortal God Master, this power was completely dispersed.
The Immortal Tao Rhythm circulated, thoroughly purifying the Power of Yellow Springs, restoring the finger to its pristine state.
"Yellow Springs—" the
Immortal God Master murmured softly, a trace of astonishment flashing through his eyes.
"Since the Underworld shattered and the previous Lord of Mount Tai fell, it seems the Underworld has found a new master!"
"No wonder... no wonder this youth has become powerful enough to slay the likes of Heavenly Slaughter and other Divine Lords."
The Immortal God Master murmured in a low voice, a hint of cold light suddenly appearing in his eyes.
The reemergence of the Underworld was not good news for the Evil God Clan.
At the same time, countless Evil Gods below were filled with horror.
They had witnessed the scene where the Immortal God Master struck from a distance.
The destructive finger had shown them what true invincibility was.
Yet they hadn't expected that the Immortal God Master couldn't actually kill Gu Qingfeng, allowing him to escape instead.
This outcome was beyond belief for the Evil Gods.
At that moment, the threat level of Gu Qingfeng, the Mystic Sky Immortal Emperor, in the hearts of many Evil Gods, was elevated to an unparalleled height.
To escape from an Immortal was in itself a testament to one's strength.
Even though before this, he had already slain five top Divine Lords, earning him a title as one of the most powerful below the Immortal.
But—
Killing top Divine Lords and withstanding an attack from an Immortal were two different concepts.
The former still fell within a range of understanding, but the latter was beyond reason.
Even the strongest Divine Lord was merely an ant before an Immortal God Master.
This was the universally acknowledged truth of the Endless Immortal Domain, validated through countless years and facts.
If an Immortal God Master wished to strike, erasing other Divine Lords was a simple task.
In the face of absolute power disparity, all techniques and foundations were futile.
In ancient times, an uprising occurred within the Immortal Divine Country, as a half-step Immortal attempted to overthrow everything, establishing their own order.
That entity was exceedingly powerful, having crushed numerous Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerates, hailed as the closest to the Immortal.
However, when this half-step Immortal caused the mighty uproar, one Immortal God Master made a move, erasing him completely with just a finger.
Even a so-called half-step Immortal was still vulnerable before the Immortal.
That battle remained fresh in the memories of many ancient Divine Lords.
The might of the Immortal was witnessed by the many Evil Gods for the first time.
Since then, no Evil Gods dared to challenge the Immortal's authority.
But now, the Immortal God Master struck again, albeit from a distance, and not being able to kill a Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate was unbelievable.
This broke their understanding of the Immortal and elevated their dread of Gu Qingfeng to its peak.
At this point, the Immortal God Master spoke slowly, his voice carrying an indisputable majesty: "Transmit my decree to all Divine Countries, amass our forces, and attack the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty!"
A Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate escaping from his hand filled the Immortal God Master's heart with an unprecedented killing intent.
Such a Demon was unlike any previous Overlord.
If allowed to reach the Nine Tribulation Level, he might truly possess combat power comparable to an Immortal.
The Immortal God Master could not allow such a being to grow further.
He must be completely eradicated before reaching full maturity.
But—
As an Immortal, he could make a move once, but to move again meant the Immortals on the Human Clan's side wouldn't remain idle.
At the Immortal level, moving frequently meant stirring up war between the two clans.
In the Immortal God Master's view, it was not yet time for a full-scale war with the Human Clan.
Though the Evil God Clan was powerful, the Human Clan was equally deep-rooted; full-scale war was unpredictable.
But Gu Qingfeng's existence could not be allowed to continue.
Thus, the only option was to mobilize other Evil Gods' power to eliminate him prematurely.
"Gu Qingfeng!"
The form of the Immortal God Master slowly faded away; he had committed the name to memory.
And on the other side,
The news of the Immortal's strike spread through the Endless Immortal Domain like wildfire.
All were filled with astonishment upon hearing the news.
