My son is about to break through.

The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Fruit!
The moment this name was uttered, even the void seemed to pause.

Whether it was the immortal god who manifested his form or those ancient beings who hid in the shadows and only spied on him with their divine senses, their hearts were stirred.

Many evil gods are familiar with these top-tier elixirs.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei immediately mentioned ten pills is quite alarming.

The void fell into a deathly silence, as if even the river of time had frozen in this place.

All eyes, whether open or hidden, were fixed on the Lord of Eternal Silence, awaiting his decision.

a long time.

The hand beneath the black robe of the Eternal Silence God Lord was powerful enough to easily crush stars and churn the Nine Aperture Exquisite Fruit!
The moment this name was uttered, even the void seemed to pause.

Whether it was the immortal god who manifested his form or those ancient beings who hid in the shadows and only spied on him with their divine senses, their hearts were stirred.

Many evil gods are familiar with these top-tier elixirs.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei immediately mentioned ten pills is quite alarming.

The void fell into a deathly silence, as if even the river of time was disrupted. The fingers of the chaotic river of time and space curled slightly, clenched into fists, and the knuckles turned white from the force, showing that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

But then, the clenched fist slowly loosened, as if a tremendous burden had been lifted, and the boiling killing intent had been suppressed.

He gazed deeply at the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, his abyss-like pupils reflecting the other's proud figure, as if he wanted to imprint this figure, who had caused him and even the entire divine kingdom to pay a heavy price, deep into his soul, for eternity.

"Ten...absolutely impossible."

The voice of the Eternal Silence God remained cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, but his words implied a concession.

"At most two! This fruit is not easy to cultivate, and even the divine kingdom's reserves are limited."

Upon hearing this, the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, carrying undisguised sarcasm.

"Two? Could it be that the life of the Illusionary God Lord, and the reputation of your Immortal God Kingdom, are only worth two Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruits? Nine! Not one less!"

His tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. With a slight push of his foot, the Void God Lord let out a suppressed groan, and cracks reappeared in his newly formed divine body.

The deathly aura emanating from the Eternal Silence God suddenly intensified, causing several nearby star field remnants to instantly vanish into nothingness.

He remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the final pros and cons, before finally speaking again in a cold voice, carrying an undeniable resolve:

"Five! This is our clan's final concession! Ziwei, if you press this further, then let's fight! Even if you can replace several of our clan members, let's see if your human race can bear the consequences of an immortal war!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire Immortal Kingdom instantly became extremely heavy and oppressive.

The several powerful auras hidden in the shadows no longer concealed themselves, and like sharp swords about to be drawn, they locked onto the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor.

On the remaining barrier of the divine kingdom below, countless ancient and sinister runes trembled, drawing upon the primal power of the divine kingdom. A world-destroying aura was brewing, as if an epic war was about to erupt at any moment.

Despite the tense situation, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei remained calm.

He did not answer immediately, but simply looked at the Lord of Eternal Silence in silence, his gaze profound, as if it could pierce through all illusions and look directly into the depths of the other's soul.

He didn't unleash a stronger aura to fight back, but the indifference stemming from absolute strength and disregard for life and death created an invisible sense of oppression, making time seem to stretch out.

The silence, though brief, felt like an eternity.

Finally, under the gaze of the Eternal Silence God Lord's abyssal eyes, the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly and uttered four words:
"Then five will do."

As soon as the words fell, the heavy killing intent that filled the void receded like a tide, the hidden locking aura also quietly subsided, and the runes that lit up on the divine kingdom's barrier slowly dimmed.

An immortal war that could have engulfed all the realms was finally stopped at the last moment.

Without another word, the Eternal Silence God flicked his sleeve, and five brilliant rays of light, enveloped in chaotic energy, instantly shot out.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei collected all five divine fruits with an invisible Daoist aura. A sweep of his divine sense revealed no hidden tricks, confirming their authenticity.

He looked down at the dying, broken-down Void God at his feet, snorted coldly, and raised his foot, which had been suppressing everything, as if discarding a piece of trash.

The Great Dao shackles that had been binding the Void God Lord and formed from the Immortal Emperor's Qi also vanished without a trace.

"If you had been so sensible earlier, why would I have had to go through all this trouble and needlessly tarnish the reputation of your divine kingdom?"

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei stood with his hands behind his back, his black imperial robe fluttering lightly in the shattered void.

His gaze, sharp as torches, swept across the devastated Immortal God Kingdom below, past the evil gods who were either angry, fearful, or harboring hidden hatred, and finally, his voice, as chilling as eternal ice, clearly reached the ears of every Immortal God Lord.

This is the first and the last time.

"If there is ever a next time you disregard all propriety and presumptuously use the power of immortality against the younger generation of our human race's prodigies, then it will be a fight to the death!"

The moment the last word was uttered, a killing intent far purer and more resolute than before swept out, causing all the immortal gods to feel a chill in their hearts, as if they could see a future scene of raging blood seas and the annihilation of stars.

They had no doubt that if they provoked him again, this human emperor would spare no effort to drag the entire evil god race down with him.

The next moment, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei stopped, turned around, and took a step forward.

His figure had already merged into the Great Dao Divine Bridge that spanned the void and had not yet completely dissipated.

The divine bridge flashed with light, then instantly vanished, along with the figure that had suppressed countless ages on it, as if it had never existed.

All that remained was a fragmented, blood-soaked, and desolate immortal divine kingdom, along with a group of terrified, furious, helpless, and deeply humiliated evil gods.

The Eternal Silence God stood still, his figure almost blending into the surrounding darkness, remaining motionless for a long time.

His dark eyes reflected the tragic state of the divine kingdom.

"The Purple Star Immortal Court... I will remember this matter!"

The deep, chilling words echoed slowly in the deathly silence, each one seemingly containing the bloodshed and carnage of the future.

Then, the abyss-like gaze of the Eternal Silence God turned to the Phantom God, who looked miserable and was struggling to form a divine body. His expression was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Immortals are forbidden from attacking those who have not yet become immortals. This is a tacit rule between the two races. Why do you repeatedly break this rule and give others a handle against you?"

His voice carried a barely perceptible hint of questioning.

The Void God Lord's face was extremely gloomy, and his broken body was absorbing the scattered divine blood, gradually recovering.

The immortal divine blood flowing on the ground like rivers seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, transforming into streams of dark gold that flowed back into his body.

In no time, all of the visible injuries of the Void God Lord had been completely healed, at least outwardly. However, his aura was still somewhat weak, indicating that the damage to his essence could not be cured in an instant.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation and anger in his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "It is not my will to break the precept, but I have no choice."

A prodigy has emerged among the human race, who is suspected of having received the complete inheritance of the ancient underworld. His name is Gu Qingfeng.

This young man's cultivation has not yet reached the Ninth Tribulation Realm, yet he has already managed to slay several top-tier God Lords. The terror of his potential is unprecedented.

Not long ago, our clan orchestrated a plan, dispatching fourteen top-tier Divine Lords to ambush and kill him in the Nine Nether Divine Kingdom. The result was the loss of two, with the rest wounded. If this child is allowed to grow unchecked, he will undoubtedly become a major threat to our clan in the future!

He paused, his tone tinged with resentment: "I never expected the human race to react so violently, that they would actually come down in person."

Thinking of how he had just been trampled underfoot by the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor like an ant, without any power to resist, the Void God Lord felt a heart-wrenching humiliation.

An immortal god, who has traversed the universe for countless years, has been so humiliated in front of billions of his people, losing all face!
Although beings at the immortal level are extremely difficult to completely erase, even in a contest between beings of the same level, it is incredibly difficult to completely kill an immortal.

Regardless, the humiliation we suffered today was truly deserved.

The Eternal God listened quietly, and only after he finished speaking did he slowly open his mouth, his voice still calm and undisturbed: "Three hundred billion years from now, that person will have to undergo the tribulation of transcendence."

Based on his current condition and the past experiences of those who have undergone tribulations, he has absolutely no chance of succeeding.

When the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei falls in the calamity, the human race will lose this pillar of stability, and its annihilation will be just around the corner.

At this juncture, why create unnecessary trouble for an underdeveloped junior, forcing that person to launch an attack prematurely?

He looked at the Void God Lord, whose abyssal eyes seemed to see through his heart: "He is just a junior of the human race. So what if he has obtained the inheritance of the ancient underworld?"
Do you really believe that he could overcome countless barriers and reach immortality, even the twelfth realm of immortality that we have been striving for but can hardly attain, in just 30 billion years?

The words of the Eternal Silence God were like the morning bell and evening drum, causing the Illusion God, whose heart was filled with anger and humiliation, to pause in surprise and then fall into deep thought.

Yup!

Humanity has at most 30 billion years left.

This is an unspoken truth that exists across all levels of immortality.

Three hundred billion years is an unimaginable length of time for mortals and even low-level cultivators, but for beings like them, especially the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor who is facing the tribulation of transcendence, it is merely a fleeting moment.

Why should I be in such a hurry to worry about a descendant of the human race?

Just as the Eternal God Lord said, no matter how monstrous Gu Qingfeng is, with talent that is rare throughout the ages, it is almost impossible for him to break through to the Immortal Realm in 30 billion years.

That was a qualitative change, something that talent alone could not compensate for.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the other party is truly so extraordinary that they can miraculously break through to the immortal level within 30 billion years, so what?

There is a vast, insurmountable gap between the Immortal Realm and the Twelfth Immortal Realm.

Reaching a level below the twelfth realm is not enough to fundamentally change the final outcome for either race.

When the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor fell, the human race had no powerful beings at the Twelfth Immortal Realm to guard it.

At that time, their evil god clan possessed the Eternal Silence God Lord, so why should they fear the human race having an extra ordinary immortal?
The Eternal God Lord continued, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority: "If we were to lose sight of the bigger picture at this time, and completely break ties with the human race, forcing that person to disregard everything and fight to the death, it would benefit no one."

The order is to pass down that unless the human immortals take action, our immortals must not attack Gu Qingfeng or any other human celestial beings.

Everything will be revealed in 30 billion years.

At that time, without the protection of Ziwei, humanity will be nothing more than fish on a chopping board. For three hundred billion years, they will have absolutely no chance of turning the tables!

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Eternal Silence God slowly faded away, like a drop of ink blending into a traditional Chinese ink painting, and finally disappeared completely into this shattered void, as if it had never existed.

The illusory god stood alone in place, his eyes still filled with a chilling, bone-chilling coldness.

Although the words of the Eternal Silence God are reasonable, how can the humiliation of today be easily erased by reason?
"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor...the human race..."

He silently chanted in his heart, his killing intent surging like a tide.

"This matter is not over. The humiliation you have suffered today will one day be repaid by the billions of lives of your human race!"

As for directly retaliating against the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor?

The thought was extinguished as soon as it arose.

He doesn't have the courage, nor the ability.

Despite both being at the Immortal Realm, the gap between them was simply too great.

As the supreme being of the Twelfth Immortal Realm, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor could suppress him with ease.

So what if they are immortal and hard to kill?
Being suppressed in some desolate place in the universe, enduring billions of years of loneliness and torment, is more painful than death.

Unless one day he himself can step into the legendary Twelve Realms of Immortality.

But the Void God Lord knew very well that the difficulty involved was comparable to ascending to heaven, and the hope was slim.

Moreover, even if that day truly came, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei would likely have already perished under the tribulation of transcendence. To personally exact revenge on that person would be an unrealistic delusion.

"However... dealing with other humans is naturally not difficult at all."

The Void God Lord cast his gaze toward the distant void, which was the location of the battlefield of the Nine Nether God Kingdom, and sneered coldly.

……

the other side.

On the battlefield of the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom, the army of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty swept across everything, and the Evil God Clan suffered a complete defeat.

All the immortal realms collapsed, and countless evil gods perished in bloodshed.

Gu Qingfeng seemed like a walking god of death; even top-tier god-lords would find it difficult to survive beneath the waves of the Yellow Springs.

He had forgotten exactly how many evil gods he had slain and how many immortal realms he had destroyed.

As yet another immortal realm vanished, a familiar figure suddenly appeared, causing the once turbulent Yellow Springs River to abruptly stop flowing.

"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor!"

Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback when he saw the person who had arrived, but then he bowed and greeted him.

"This junior greets the Heavenly Emperor!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei sent five Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruits that transformed into streams of light and appeared directly in front of Gu Qingfeng.

The latter looked slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

"This is?"

"This is compensation from the evil god clan: five Nine-Aperture Exquisite Fruits as the price for the Immortal's attack on you."

They originally didn't want to give it, but I personally went to the Immortal God Kingdom and talked to them in detail. The Evil God Clan also realized their mistakes, so they gave this compensation.

You can also rest assured that no immortal will ever attack you again.

At least—until I perish, no immortal will act rashly again!

Finally, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei added one more sentence. (End of Chapter)
