My son is about to break through.

"Then let me see where your confidence comes from!"

Gu Qingfeng remained calm.

The moment he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and the chaotic energy beneath his feet surged, with countless laws manifesting around him.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying Daoist aura emerged. The power of the Netherworld Dao condensed in his palm, evolving into the phantom of the eighteen levels of hell. The wails of countless vengeful ghosts echoed through the void.

Immediately, a world-destroying divine spear materialized in his palm.

This divine spear is entirely black, with countless vengeful spirits entwined around its body, and a vortex of reincarnation swirling at its tip, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.

The mere release of a trace of power was enough to annihilate billions of miles of void, turning them into the most primordial nothingness.

"go with!"

Gu Qingfeng let out a soft shout, and the World-Destroying Divine Spear flew out of his hand, transforming into a black lightning bolt that tore through the sky and headed straight for the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Wherever the divine spear passed, space and time collapsed, and the Great Dao wailed, as if it would utterly destroy the entire chaos.

Upon witnessing this scene, the white-robed monk's expression became more solemn than ever before.

He could sense the terrifying power contained in that shot, a destructive force beyond his level. He thrust his right hand out, a thick, black power flowing through his palm, with countless twisted runes rising and falling within it, eventually transforming into a giant swastika.

This swastika Buddhist symbol is completely different from ordinary Buddhist symbols. It is pitch black, with thick blood flowing on its surface, exuding an extremely evil aura.

The Buddhist text slowly rotated, evolving into a corrupt Buddhist kingdom, where hundreds of millions of fallen Buddhists chanted scriptures in unison, trying to resist this destructive blow.

"Click——"

However, the swastika Buddhist script shattered in a single glance.

That corrupt Buddhist kingdom crumbled instantly before the World-Destroying Divine Spear, as if it were made of paper.

With the force to destroy everything, the divine spear pierced through the palm of the Heavenly Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas, instantly pinning him to the void.

"Ugh!"

The Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas let out a muffled groan. From his pierced palm, jet-black blood gushed out like a spring. Each drop of blood contained terrifying corrosive power, eroding the surrounding void and creating black holes.

In that instant, the expression on the face of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas changed again. He could feel that the power of the Netherworld Dao contained in that divine spear was frantically eroding his physical body and soul, and even the foundation of the Dao within his body was trembling slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he clenched his five fingers tightly, unleashing terrifying power that instantly shattered and obliterated the world-destroying divine spear.

However, the pierced palm was slow to heal, with countless granulation tissues growing wildly and intertwining with each other. It took several breaths for the wound to fully recover.

"What a formidable Immortal Emperor Xuantian! His strength is truly not to be underestimated!"

At this moment, the gaze of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas towards Gu Qingfeng was unusually solemn.

Although he had already spoken up, admitting that he was no match for Gu Qingfeng, his expression remained largely unchanged.

Only now, after truly fighting Gu Qingfeng, did the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas realize just how powerful this Immortal Emperor of the Profound Heaven truly was.

"Since I attained enlightenment and reached the peak of the Nine Tribulations, I have realized that there are very few beings in the Heavenly Venerable Realm who can truly threaten me."

"The Immortal Emperor's strength today has truly broadened my horizons. If one day the Immortal Emperor were to reach the Ninth Tribulation Realm, I fear even an Immortal might not be able to suppress you!"

The fact that the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas did not refer to himself as "this humble monk" for the first time shows that the exchange just now had truly put him under pressure.

Such evaluations, when heard by other cultivators, whether from the evil god race or the human race, shocked them deeply.

Nothing is more truthful than the opinions of one's opponents.

"Too much nonsense!"

Gu Qingfeng completely ignored the other party's evaluation and directly unleashed a palm strike.

The terrifying power of the Great Dao pressed down, and the power of the eighth level of the Netherworld Great Dao erupted completely, causing the entire chaos to groan under this palm strike.

This palm strike appears simple, but it actually contains endless variations. The phantom images of the eighteen levels of hell are layered on top of each other in the palm, as if to completely suppress the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

The Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas gasped for breath, sensing the terrifying power contained in that palm strike, and dared not be careless in the slightest.

He formed a mudra with his hands, and behind him, the phantom of a Buddha was born. This Buddha was hundreds of millions of feet tall, blotting out the sky and the sun, as if supporting the entire chaos.

The Buddha emanated an eerie light, and countless fallen Buddhists floated and sank within it, chanting distorted scriptures in unison.

But the next instant, a world-destroying divine spear pierced through the air and arrived.

This shot was even more terrifying than the previous one. The vengeful spirits wrapped around the gun emitted a piercing scream, piercing through the void and accurately hitting the Buddha's head.

"Boom!"

The Buddha's head shattered instantly, with countless fragments scattering in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson blade of light descended, traversing billions of miles and containing the ultimate intent of slaughter.

With a flash of light, the illusory Buddha, hundreds of millions of feet tall, was instantly cleaved in two, and the remaining force continued to slash towards the true form of the Myriad Buddhas Celestial Venerable.

The latter's expression changed, and the black lotus platform beneath his feet suddenly bloomed.

Countless distorted human faces appeared on each petal of the lotus platform, emitting mournful howls.

A strange power surged from the lotus platform, rising into the sky like a turbid torrent, weaving into a vast net that blotted out the heavens. At each node of the net, a hideous Buddha head chanted sutras, attempting to block this fatal blow.

But it's no use.

In the face of absolute power, all struggles are futile.

As the crimson blade struck, the filthy torrent instantly dissipated, and the large net woven from the Buddha's head tore apart inch by inch, like a spider web.

The expression on the face of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas changed drastically. He slammed his right hand into the void, and a Buddhist world appeared in his palm, attempting to catch the falling blade light.

"Pfft-"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

The entire arm of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable, from the palm to the shoulder, was cut in half.

All flesh and blood, even the immortal bones, were shattered at this moment, and black blood sprayed out, staining the surrounding chaos black.

Such a severe blow caused the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas to turn ashen-faced.

Before he could make a further move, Gu Qingfeng appeared three feet in front of him without him even noticing.

The two were so close that Wanfo Tianzun could even clearly see the cold killing intent in Gu Qingfeng's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fist, carrying earth-shattering power, landed directly on the chest of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"boom!!"

A deafening roar resounded in all directions. Such terrifying power caused the chest of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas to explode on the spot, and his internal organs were instantly reduced to dust.

His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing through one spatial barrier after another in the chaos, flying for countless miles before finally coming to a stop.

When they finally stopped, the white clothes were stained red with blood and became filthy.

The compassionate and serene expression on the face of the Heavenly Venerable Ten Thousand Buddhas was gone. His face was now gloomy and ferocious, and a terrifying black light emanated from his eyes. An eerie aura emanated from his body, as if some terrifying being was awakening.

In an instant, the chaotic order seemed to collapse. Centered on the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the void within a radius of millions of miles began to distort, the laws of the Great Dao became chaotic, and time and space lost their meaning at this moment.

The voice of the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas was deep and cold, like the wind from the deepest hell. The flesh and blood in his ruptured chest were writhing and slowly healing themselves.

But this time, the recovery was much slower, clearly indicating that the power contained in Gu Qingfeng's punch had caused him great damage.

"I will make sure you die a gruesome death!"

"What right do you have to speak so arrogantly by yourself!"

Gu Qingfeng laughed, but his smile was full of contempt.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his body radiating Daoist energy, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was merely a warm-up for him.

Undeniably, the power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable is indeed very strong.

To be precise, his opponent was the strongest among all his rivals, without exception.

Those bizarre Buddhist supernatural powers and corrupted laws of the Great Dao both demonstrated a level of attainment far exceeding that of ordinary Nine Tribulations Great Celestial Venerables.

But—that's all.

After breaking through to the Eighth Tribulation Celestial Venerable Realm, Gu Qingfeng's strength has undergone a qualitative leap.

Breaking through to the eighth level of the Netherworld Dao allowed him to reach a completely new level of understanding of the Dao.

Even a powerful being like the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable poses no threat to Gu Qingfeng at this stage.

but.

Just as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

The entire chaotic void suddenly trembled violently, as if some terrifying being was descending.

Immediately afterwards, several more terrifying auras tore through the void and crashed down.

Each of these four auras was terrifyingly powerful, though not quite on par with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable, they were not far off.

At the same time, a chilling and sinister voice echoed through the void, containing an extreme killing intent that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

"If the Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Buddhas can't deal with you, then what if we join in?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the space was torn apart like a piece of cloth, revealing the deep darkness behind it.

Four figures slowly emerged from the darkness, each exuding a chilling and eerie aura.

The leader was none other than the Rakshasa God Lord, whose body was shrouded in blood-red aura, and whose eyes were like two swirling blood-red vortexes, exuding an extreme killing intent.

To his left stood the Heavenly Fiend Lord, who resembled a demon god emerging from hell, his body radiating a palpable aura of malevolence, and wielding a demonic blade entwined with countless vengeful spirits.

On the right, behind the Xuan Yue Divine Lord, a black moon floated uncertainly, and wherever the moonlight passed, even time and space were frozen.

At the very back, the Heavenly Net God Lord was entangled by countless spiderweb-like laws, each strand of which shimmered with an eerie light.

Upon seeing these four figures appear, the expressions of the human race, including Li Qianjue, changed drastically, and cries of surprise rose and fell.

"Rakshasa God Lord—"

"No, it's not just Rakshasa God Lord; the other three are Tian Sha, Tian Luo, and Xuan Yue God Lord—"

"The four great gods have all arrived! This is troublesome!"

The Celestial Venerable of the Purple Star Immortal Court was naturally familiar with these top gods in the Immortal God Kingdoms.

After all, the Ziwei Immortal Court is the supreme power of the human race, and it has been fighting and killing each other with the Immortal God Kingdom, the supreme power representing the evil god race, for countless years.

They would not be unfamiliar with any of the powerful figures who could be considered prominent in the Immortal God Kingdom.

Not to mention, these four Divine Lords before us are all top-tier beings who have stepped into the Ninth Tribulation level!
This level of cultivation, if placed in the Ziwei Immortal Court, would almost be comparable to the level of the Five Marshals.

Each of them is an unparalleled expert capable of standing alone. Now that all four have arrived, their threat level, even if not that of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable, is absolutely not to be underestimated.

That's why the Ziwei Immortal Court's expression turned so grim when they saw several divine lords appear.

Some of the weaker cultivators were even paler than usual, their bodies trembling slightly.

"This is a huge problem!"

Li Qianjue took a deep breath, his tone extremely solemn.
One Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable was already troublesome enough, but then four more top-tier divine lords appeared.

Whether it's the Rakshasa God Lord or the other three God Lords, their strength is unfathomable.

These beings are almost on par with the original Ten Thousand Buddhas Celestial Venerable before his breakthrough.

Don't be fooled by how easily Gu Qingfeng dealt with Wanfo Tianzun before; now that there are four more Divine Lords, the outcome is unpredictable.

With these five powerful figures joining forces, there are very few who can truly withstand them within the same realm.

The Celestial Venerable of the Purple Star Celestial Court suppressed his fear and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "With four top-tier Divine Lords appearing, what should we do now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qianjue.

As the strongest person present besides Gu Qingfeng, his decision will directly affect the course of the battle.

Upon hearing this, Li Qianjue remained silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on the imposing figure in front of him.

Gu Qingfeng remained standing with his hands behind his back. Facing the four suddenly appearing Divine Lords, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this scene.

Then, Li Qianjue looked in other directions.

Around the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the armies of evil gods from dozens of immortal realms began to stir, with countless evil gods surging in like a tide, seemingly ready to wage all-out war.

Finally, the Twenty-Eight Constellations exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes hardening with determination.

He knew that this battle was inevitable. If he retreated now, not only would all his previous efforts be in vain, but the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty would also be plunged into an abyss of no return.

"war!"

One word, resolute and unwavering, conveying a determination to die for one's cause.

Li Qianjue's aura suddenly erupted, and the pressure of the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable swept in all directions.

He charged out first, directly confronting a powerful evil god, and a fierce battle erupted instantly.

As Li Qianjue made his move, the other human powerhouses also suppressed their fear and roared as they charged toward the enemy.

Despite being outnumbered and surrounded by powerful enemies, at this moment, no one chose to retreat.

Because in front of them, that towering figure still stood firm.

The outbreak of war was sudden, but also expected.

The army of 30 trillion evil gods seemed endless, while the human side, though smaller in number, was no less powerful.

The moment the two armies clashed, a bloody massacre erupted. (End of Chapter)
