My son is about to break through.

"Father, the Ziwei Immortal Court has suddenly sent reinforcements. There's probably more to this than meets the eye!"

Inside the Imperial Study, Gu Yang's expression was solemn.

The fact that such a behemoth as the Ziwei Immortal Court would suddenly send troops to support the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty seems rather unusual.

Gu Qingfeng's expression was much calmer: "No matter what the Ziwei Immortal Court's purpose is, since they are willing to send troops to support us, there is no reason to refuse."

Moreover, the evil god clan is powerful; if problems arise for my Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, it will not benefit the Ziwei Immortal Court either!

Speaking of it.

He looked at Gu Yang.

"Next, I will personally go to the front line. You will be responsible for staying in the rear and being vigilant against the clan of evil gods' clan's clandy actions."

My only requirement is to safeguard the Celestial Dynasty; everything else can wait!

"My son obeys the order!"

"Go!"

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling Gu Yang to step down.

Subsequently.

He looked inward and a powerful Daoist aura spread out, causing the void of the Immortal Palace to feel pressured. The terrifying aura was even more frightening than before.

"I wonder just how far my strength will break through with the seventh level of the Netherworld Dao!"

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.

Not bad!

Not long ago.

His understanding of the Netherworld Dao had reached the seventh level.

Six peaks!

With the seventh level of beginner level!
Although it's only a small difference, the gap between the sixth and seventh levels is truly astonishing.

The advancement to the seventh level of the Netherworld Path has allowed Gu Qingfeng's strength to advance by leaps and bounds, but he doesn't yet know exactly what level he has reached.

After all.

There is no corresponding reference point.

Gu Qingfeng also found it difficult to determine his own strength level.

But there is one thing.

Gu Qingfeng, however, was aware of it.

That means his strength is greater than before, much greater.

The reason why the Netherworld Path was able to break through was because of the slaying of evil gods.

The Path of the Netherworld!

It is the origin of the underworld!
The underworld, also known as the netherworld, is the true land of the dead.

Gu Qingfeng slew the evil god and glimpsed the profound mysteries of the Netherworld Dao from the god's demise, which is why he was able to successfully break through.

Of course.

This is also inextricably linked to the accumulation of 30 million years.

But no matter what.

Gu Qingfeng saw a shortcut to improve his Netherworld Dao.

Kill!
As long as enough blood is killed, one can comprehend the Daoist power released in the instant of a living being's death, thus advancing the Dao of the Netherworld.

This is why Gu Qingfeng wanted to directly break ties with the Evil God Clan.

Originally, according to his idea.

It is necessary to gradually accumulate strength.

Only when the underworld gradually advances and possesses power truly comparable to immortality will it begin to reveal its fangs.

Of course—

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Thirty million years of seclusion caused Gu Qingfeng's cultivation to hit a bottleneck.

Simply retreating into seclusion to comprehend the Dao of the Netherworld results in very slow progress.

Even though this slowness was already quite astonishing for other Celestial Venerables, Gu Qingfeng was still not satisfied.

If he were to remain in seclusion, let alone 30 million years, even 300 million or 3 billion years, he might not be able to raise the Netherworld Dao to the seventh level.

What's more.

This strange movement by the evil god is related to immortality.

This way.

Gu Qingfeng was eager to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

For all these reasons, he directly declared war on the evil god clan, using the blood of the evil gods to advance his path to the Netherworld.

"In the battle on the front lines, with an army of ten trillion evil gods, I wonder if it will be enough for me to advance my Netherworld Dao to the middle stage of the seventh level!"

Gu Qingfeng's lips curled into a smile, but the smile looked extremely cold.

……

Eastern Front!

Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm!

This is the immortal realm ruled by the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, where hundreds of billions of troops are stationed. The atmosphere throughout the immortal realm is extremely solemn.

"What is the current situation of the evil god clan?"

Luo Tian asked in a deep voice.

As a first-rank marshal who protects the nation, he is naturally tasked with guarding the Tianyuan Immortal Realm now that the evil god clan's army is pressing in.

In 30 million years, Luo Tian not only successfully broke through to the Second Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, but also stepped into the peak of the Second Tribulation in one go.

The reason he was able to break through so quickly was not only because Luo Tian had good talent, but also because the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty provided a lot of resources.

If not.

It is absolutely impossible for Luo Tian to reach this point in 30 million years.

but--

Luo Tian's expression was solemn. The news of the evil god clan's army pressing in made him feel pressured.

A massive army of ten trillion!
The Three Great Divine Kingdoms!

Such a force is absolutely beyond what the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm can withstand.

but.

The Celestial Dynasty has issued an order.

Luo Tian could not possibly abandon the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm.

Upon hearing his words, one of the people below respectfully replied, "The army of the Evil God Clan is not far from the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm, and will arrive in at most ten days!"

"Ten days—"

Luo Tian's expression turned solemn again.

Ten days is neither a long nor a short time.

Once the army of ten trillion arrives, the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm will likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"How is the situation on the Immortal Dynasty's side?"

"His Majesty the Immortal Emperor is personally leading the expedition. At this moment, the army is heading towards the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm and will arrive in no more than three days."

Furthermore, the Celestial Emperor has decreed that the Purple Star Celestial Court will also send a large army to provide support, and their arrival time should be around the same!

"That's good!"

Luo Tian nodded, his tense heart secretly relieved.

Since the Immortal Emperor personally led the expedition and the Ziwei Immortal Court offered assistance, the Tianyuan Immortal Realm still had a glimmer of hope.

Think of this.

Luo Tian gave another order.

"Keep a close watch on the movements of the evil god clan. Report any unusual activity to them immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Go."

Luo Tian waved for the other party to step back. At this point, there was really no more room for maneuver.

After all, both sides are now playing their cards openly, with no real tricks up their sleeves. The upcoming battle will depend on the strength and resources of both sides; everything else is just empty talk.

Two days later.

Gu Qingfeng stepped into the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm.

Accompanying him was a trillion-strong army from the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty.

Upon learning of this news, Luo Tian immediately came to pay his respects.

"His Majesty!"

"What is the current situation of the evil god clan?"

Gu Qingfeng asked.

Luo Tian cupped his hands in greeting: "The Evil God Clan will arrive in the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm in seven or eight days at most!"

"Um--"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, and with a casual sweep of his divine sense, the entire Tianyuan Immortal Realm appeared under his perception.

A massive army of hundreds of billions! This is all the elite troops on the front lines.

This time.

Including the trillion-dollar army he brought with him, that's a total of 1.1 trillion.

This force is already quite strong, but compared to the trillion-strong army of the evil god race, there is still a huge gap.

Even if we include the trillion-strong army of the Ziwei Immortal Court, there is still a staggering difference in the number of troops on both sides.

but--

The two tribes clashed.

It's not entirely about the size of the army, but rather the strength of the top combat forces on both sides.

Before the Great Celestial Venerable, the armies below the Celestial Venerable are no different from ants. If they wish, they can easily suppress and kill any number of them, whether it is one trillion, ten trillion, or even a hundred trillion.

But Gu Qingfeng wasn't too worried. After all, things had come to this point, and there was no need to worry too much.

"You will be in charge of commanding this large army. I don't need to teach you the specifics, do I?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will handle this properly!"

Luo Tian said.

Gu Qingfeng nodded and remained silent.

The next day.

A terrifying aura descended from outside the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm, instantly alarming many powerful figures within the realm.

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, his gaze instantly piercing through the endless void, and saw the scene there.

A fleet appeared, crossing the void, bearing the flags of the Ziwei Immortal Court.

"coming!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly, and he then personally stepped forward to greet them.

The fleet stopped in front of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm, and a figure stepped out of the air, cupping his hands in greeting to Gu Qingfeng.

"Li Qianjue, one of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon of the Purple Star Immortal Court, greets the Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are too kind. Now that the Ziwei Immortal Court army has arrived, let's enter the Tianyuan Immortal Domain first!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled calmly, and Li Qianjue didn't say much either. He nodded and then let the army enter the Tianyuan Immortal Realm.

Simultaneously.

Tianyuan Immortal City.

In the City Lord’s Immortal Palace.

Gu Qingfeng sat in the main seat, below him were Luo Tian and others, as well as many powerful figures from the Ziwei Immortal Court led by Li Qianjue.

Among them was Ling Chuan, one of the Seventy-Two Divine Generals.

Li Qianjue, one of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

Then came the six Yuan Chen, and the twelve Divine Generals.

Among them, Li Qianjue's aura was terrifying. In Gu Qingfeng's opinion, the opponent's strength was at least equivalent to the peak of the Eight Tribulations, and he was probably not much different from the likes of Taiyi Saint Lord.

however.

This is only one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

While Gu Qingfeng was silently observing the Ziwei Immortal Court, the latter was also silently observing Gu Qingfeng.

They also had a lot of curiosity about this Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor, who was famous throughout the endless immortal realm.

after all.

Gu Qingfeng ascended millions of years ago, and not only did he attain the Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable status, but his strength was also rumored to be comparable to that of a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

Such a being is truly astonishing.

at this time.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Fellow Daoist Li is only one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, yet his strength is already so formidable. Then wouldn't every one of the twelve divine officials above the Twenty-Eight Constellations be a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable?"

"The Immortal Emperor is right. The twelve Divine Officials are all Ninth Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerables. However, these beings are ancient and have cultivated for countless years. In terms of talent, they are incomparable to the Immortal Emperor!"

Li Qianjue smiled calmly, subtly praising Gu Qingfeng in his words.

but,

His words weren't entirely flattery; they were mostly the truth.

Not only the Twelve Divine Officials, but also the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and even the Thirty-Six Divine Organs, each of them has cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer.

Compare.

Gu Qingfeng's cultivation time was less than a fraction of theirs.

However, in terms of strength, Gu Qingfeng was by no means weak, and was even stronger than the Thirty-Six Yuan Chen and the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

Before arriving at the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm, Li Qianjue had already learned from the decree of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor that this Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor truly possessed strength comparable to a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

If placed within the Purple Star Celestial Court, they would all be at the level of the Twelve Divine Officials.

Also.

If given billions of years to accumulate power, even the Five Marshals and the Four Extreme Emperors might not be able to suppress the opponent.

That's why I understand this.

Therefore, Li Qianjue had no arrogance whatsoever.

She showed no disdain for Gu Qingfeng because she came from the Ziwei Immortal Court.

The strong are not defined by their origins.

Strength is the only true measure of success.

Because he understood this, Li Qianjue always maintained a respectful attitude.

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "The Ziwei Immortal Court has a profound foundation and is worthy of being one of the former Seventy-Two Immortal Courts. However, even among the Seventy-Two Immortal Courts, many have been submerged in the dust of time."

"The Purple Star Celestial Court has stood strong for so many years; its power and foundation are truly admirable."

"You flatter me, Immortal Emperor!"

Li Qianjue smiled calmly, and then asked again.

"I wonder what the current situation is with the evil god clan?"

"In three to five days at most, the army of evil gods will arrive. This time, the three divine kingdoms have mobilized all their forces, and I heard that even the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable has made a move."

Gu Qingfeng's words immediately made the atmosphere in the hall much more solemn, and even Li Qianjue's expression was unusually serious.

Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable!
These five words.

It is like an unshakeable mountain.

"With the arrival of the Nine Tribulations Grand Celestial Venerable, we are no match for him. This matter will likely have to be decided by the Celestial Emperor!"

Li Qianjue shook his head.

Although he was at the peak of the Eight Tribulations, only one step away from the Ninth Tribulation, this one-step gap was simply impossible to bridge.

Let alone one person, even three or five people might not be able to deal with a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable.

Among the many cultivators present, only the Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor has a slight chance of winning.

Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "I will handle the matter of the Nine Tribulations Grand Celestial Venerable myself, but the three great divine kingdoms have mobilized all their forces. Among them are not only the Nine Tribulations Grand Celestial Venerable, but also the Evil God Forbidden Lord and the God Lord, who should not be underestimated."

The Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty is ultimately weak in foundation and has a limited number of top experts, so in this matter, we will likely have to rely on the members of the Zi Wei Immortal Court.

"Immortal Emperor, rest assured, now that we have taken action, we will certainly go all out!"

Li Qianjue nodded.

Hear this.

Gu Qingfeng finally smiled again.

"Very well, that's enough to hear Fellow Daoist Li say!"

……

The army of the Purple Star Celestial Court has arrived.

This was a shot in the arm for the defenders of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Realm.

After all, the reputation of the Ziwei Immortal Court is renowned throughout the human race; it is a truly supreme power.

The arrival of reinforcements from such forces has undoubtedly given them a glimmer of hope.

at the same time.

Many forces that were secretly watching the Tianyuan Immortal Realm were shocked when they learned of this news.

No one expected it.

The Ziwei Immortal Court will suddenly lend a helping hand to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

after all.

all the time.

The two major forces have no connection whatsoever.

The sudden intervention of the Ziwei Immortal Court is certainly unexpected.

and.

The power used by the Ziwei Immortal Court was by no means weak.

A trillion-strong army!

There was even one of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon personally leading the army.

This clearly demonstrates the importance that the Ziwei Immortal Court attaches to the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
