"Whoosh!"
Seeing no one speaking, Gu Chenfeng stepped into the void and shot forward, entering the cyan light pillar in the blink of an eye.
The mountain range fell silent for a full five minutes.
"It's terrifying! That kid must be at the Tribulation Stage, otherwise he couldn't possibly defeat a Late Stage of Divinity Transformation expert with just one slap," one person said in utter fear, breaking the silence.
"Tribulation Stage realm! Is this a joke?"
"A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, how could he possibly break through to the Tribulation Stage? That's unheard of."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe he is a Tribulation Stage expert!"
The experts erupted instantly, exclaiming incessantly.
Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe Gu Chenfeng was a Tribulation Stage expert.
"Big brother, that Feng guy's power is too terrifying, isn't it?" a man asked in a trembling voice, full of fear: "Who exactly is he? His cultivation has reached Tribulation Stage, right?"
"A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, actually a Tribulation Stage expert. Even seeing it firsthand is hard to believe. Is there really such a prodigious genius in the world?"
The man in white clothes struggled to suppress his fear: "He's indeed the Young Master Feng from the Medicine God Hall!"
"What?" The man's face suddenly changed, utterly shocked: "He... he's the Young Master Feng who, several days ago, slew two Late Stage Tribulation experts from Penglai Immortal Island?"
"That's right!" The man in white nodded: "He is Young Master Feng Gu Chenfeng!"
"Young Master Feng slew two Late Stage Tribulation experts from Penglai Immortal Island, sealing his godhood in one battle and shaking the Cultivation Realm."
"Young Master Feng is now acclaimed as the strongest prodigy in the Cultivation Realm, invincible below the Mahayana Stage, and even rumored to match Middle Stage Mahayana experts."
"Able to match Middle Stage Mahayana experts..." The man was so scared he almost became a vegetable.
"He is that Young Master Feng who slew Penglai Immortal Island's experts..." The two's conversation frightened the nearby experts into shock.
No wonder his power is so terrifying.
No wonder he could disable a Late Stage Divinity Transformation expert with a slap.
Gu Chenfeng, single-handedly defeating two Late Stage Tribulation experts from Penglai Immortal Island, the news had already spread to every corner of the Cultivation Realm.
Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm knew of Gu Chenfeng, but few had seen him.
Otherwise.
The man in black, even if he had ten thousand nerves, would never dare to be arrogant in front of Gu Chenfeng.
...
Clouds Beyond Heaven.
In the high sky, a cyan energy vortex, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
This person was Gu Chenfeng.
As soon as Gu Chenfeng appeared, he immediately felt a strong ancient aura rushing towards him.
Besides the powerful ancient aura, there was the presence of nearby cultivators.
Most of the cultivators entering Clouds Beyond Heaven dared not go far, fearing they couldn't return.
Only those with stronger cultivation dared to venture deeper.
"So this is Clouds Beyond Heaven? It's nothing like I imagined, though it bears some resemblance to the Southern Observation Wilderness," Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, glancing at the surroundings.
At a glance, towering mountains soared into the clouds, majestic and imposing.
However.
In Clouds Beyond Heaven, although shrouded in a strong ancient aura, there was no vitality, only mystery and eeriness.
There were no birds or beasts, no flowers or trees, just a desolate landscape.
Gu Chenfeng imagined Clouds Beyond Heaven as akin to a celestial paradise.
Now seeing the lifeless world, Gu Chenfeng was deeply disappointed.
"Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is leaking." Gu Chenfeng murmured: "This space indeed absorbs cultivators' spiritual power, no wonder there's no vitality. Who knows who created this space?"
"Continuously absorbing cultivators' spiritual power, these leaking spiritual powers, who knows where they'll go."
Gu Chenfeng carefully sensed for a while, thinking: "I can't feel any summons, hopefully deeper within I can feel something."
Gu Chenfeng didn't hesitate, charging directly towards the depths.
The deeper he went, the fewer cultivators he saw.
Initially, he would occasionally see one or two cultivators, but later, not even a ghostly shadow, as if he were the only one existing in this space.
The deeper he went, the faster the leakage of spiritual power within his body, and the stronger the ancient aura became.
Of course.
This had little impact on Gu Chenfeng, who possessed a strong physique.
Gu Chenfeng sped through like lightning, everything was very smooth, encountering no danger.
Half an hour later.
Gu Chenfeng had arrived in the depths.
The ancient aura was clearly several times stronger, simultaneously the speed of spiritual power absorption increased several times.
But at the moment Gu Chenfeng set foot in the depths, a sense of unease suddenly welled up within him.
Gu Chenfeng suddenly stopped, looked around, frowned and muttered: "A lifeless space, no demon beasts, can't sense any energy fluctuations from arrays or seals, yet giving me a sense of unease."
This sense of unease, Gu Chenfeng couldn't identify its source.
The deeper one goes, the stronger the sense of unease.
Clouds Beyond Heaven, being one of the forbidden zones in the Cultivation Realm, naturally has its dangers.
Straightening his gaze to observe the surroundings, Gu Chenfeng discovered nothing, even his powerful perception sensed no formidable energies.
Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought: "The aura here carries a hint of lifelessness. The feeling of unease isn't an illusion, there must be danger given the few entrants into Clouds Beyond Heaven."
Only.
Where exactly does this sudden sense of unease come from?
However.
Just when Gu Chenfeng was puzzled.
"Whoosh!"
In the mountain range, a terrifying Energy Sword, carrying the power of Piercing Heaven and Earth, soared into the sky as fast as lightning, with a sharp, ear-piercing sonic boom.
Gu Chenfeng dodged with a quick maneuver, narrowly avoiding the attack of the Energy Sword.
"Middle Stage of Mahayana!" Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought to himself, yet when he looked in the direction of the Energy Sword, he saw not a single figure.
Not only did he see no one, but he also couldn't sense any aura.
However, Gu Chenfeng was certain that the Energy Sword just now had a power that reached the Middle Stage of Mahayana Realm.
"Concealing the aura?" Gu Chenfeng frowned again, and said coldly, "Who are you? Do we have a grudge? Attacking from the shadows is not the behavior of a strong person. Show yourself."
The space was deathly silent, with no response from anyone.
"What? Not planning to show yourself? As a Middle Stage of Mahayana, do you not feel shame being so timid?" Gu Chenfeng said coldly, "Since that's the case, I'll change my approach."
"Buzz buzz!"
As his words fell, Gu Chenfeng summoned the Ancient Immortal Sword and exerted the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power and Celestial Emperor's Blood with full force, causing the surrounding space to shake with terrifying power and the overwhelming aura to soar into the sky.
A monstrous Ice Storm swept across all directions, freezing the surrounding air, turning the mountains below into icy peaks and snowy fields.
In an instant, Gu Chenfeng's aura skyrocketed from the Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation to the Early Stage of Mahayana Realm.
Faced with a Middle Stage of Mahayana adversary, Gu Chenfeng dared not be careless.
A few breaths later.
The space and mountains within a ten-thousand-mile radius had already become an Ice World.
Yet even so, Gu Chenfeng still couldn't sense any aura of a strong enemy.
This shocked Gu Chenfeng a bit.
Gu Chenfeng couldn't quite believe it, "Even with full force, I can't sense anything?"
Just then.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
In the mountain range, more than a dozen terrifying Energy Swords shot into the sky as fast as lightning, with attack speed and power more formidable than the previous Energy Sword.
"Shadow of Space!" Gu Chenfeng immediately used body technique.
His figure flickered left and right, perfectly dodging the attacks of the dozen Energy Swords.
Gu Chenfeng frowned and pondered, "Clearly hiding within the mountains, yet I can't sense their aura, nor detect any movement."
"Could they possess an Immortal Artifact that conceals aura? I don't believe you can escape my Divine Sense!"
Saying this, Gu Chenfeng immediately employed Divine Sense to probe.
Gu Chenfeng's eyes flickered with golden light, as his powerful Divine Sense instantly enveloped a range of thousands of feet.
At this moment.
Gu Chenfeng's eyes seemed to possess x-ray vision, and under the probe of Divine Sense, nothing could hide.
His golden pupil scanned the mountains below, and Gu Chenfeng quickly saw three strong figures hidden within.
However.
Upon sight, it was a startling discovery.
In Gu Chenfeng's golden eyes, the eyes of the three figures were pitch-dark and hollow.
"Dead?" Gu Chenfeng was astonished and thought to himself, "To be precise, they are puppets, and puppets of the Mahayana Stage, definitely someone is controlling them secretly."
"No wonder I can't sense their aura or detect any movement, their actions and power are entirely under the controller's command."
"In the Cultivation Realm, who could create such powerful puppets? Could it be the Heaven-Burning Sect?"
"It should be impossible, for so many years, there has never been word of Heaven-Burning Sect having puppets, and Heaven-Burning Sect primarily focuses on Fire Attribute, only recruiting Fire Attribute disciples, these three puppets are not of the Fire Attribute, they cannot be Heaven-Burning Sect."
Meanwhile.
Gu Chenfeng condensed three powerful Ice Attribute Energy Swords, each filled with terrifying power, enough to instantly kill a peak of Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With a shake of his Sword Point, Gu Chenfeng shot the three Ice Attribute Energy Swords, carrying sharp, ear-piercing sonic booms, the attack power was overwhelming, giving one an invincible feeling.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Buzz buzz!"
The three Energy Swords bombarded the mountains, exploding with earth-shattering noise, the explosive energy carried the momentum of an avalanche, causing the mountains to tremble violently, and cracks like abyssal claws tearing.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
As the Energy Swords launched their attack, the three puppets immediately sensed it and decisively flashed to the high sky.
Since they had been discovered, hiding was meaningless.
Gu Chenfeng looked at the three puppets and pondered, "What an astonishing speed, though they are Middle Stage of Mahayana puppets, their strength is extremely formidable, not inferior to ordinary Middle Stage of Mahayana."
"Controlling three puppets simultaneously, the hidden controller's strength must be at the Half-Immortal Realm, but what is his purpose? To prevent me from going deeper?"
Gu Chenfeng's first entry into Clouds Beyond Heaven, it was impossible to offend the hidden strong ones, thus no enmity should exist.
What Gu Chenfeng could guess was the intent to stop him from going deeper.
Of course.
There might be other reasons.
The three puppets wielded their Immortal Swords and suddenly launched an attack, simultaneously shooting forward with frightening speed.
"Ice Storm!" Gu Chenfeng coldly shouted, swiftly condensing a colossal Ice Attribute Storm, and poured out extremely domineering cold energy.
The three puppets hadn't even approached, already frozen by the domineering Ice Attribute, then swallowed by the immense Ice Storm.
However.
Within moments, dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the gigantic Ice Storm.
"This is... Power of Heaven and Earth!" Gu Chenfeng's expression slightly changed.
