Chapter 257: Life Ancient City

Chapter 257: Life Ancient City

This was the first time Gu Qingfeng truly activated the power within the Divine Emperor Cauldron after obtaining it.

When he truly activated this supreme treasure, the immense power it contained was revealed.

"Boom—"

As soon as the Divine Emperor Cauldron was activated, a majestic figure seemed to emerge from the void, holding an ancient divine cauldron, as if suppressing the entire world and the eight extremities like a paramount powerhouse.

In the next moment.

The Divine Emperor Cauldron clashed with the God-Slaying Spear.

"Boom!!!"

The two supreme treasures collided.

In an instant, a force capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted.

The God-Slaying Spear let out a mournful cry and was directly suppressed by the Divine Emperor Cauldron. The phantom figure that had been holding the Divine Emperor Cauldron suddenly dissipated.

In a single exchange.

The God-Slaying Spear was defeated.

This was unavoidable.

Although the God-Slaying Spear was a supreme treasure not inferior to the Divine Emperor Cauldron, the cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land who activated it were only at the Dao Palace Realm. How could they compare to Gu Qingfeng?

If both supreme treasures were ownerless, the Divine Emperor Cauldron might not have been able to suppress the God-Slaying Spear.

However.

Now, the God-Slaying Spear was ownerless, while the Divine Emperor Cauldron was controlled by Gu Qingfeng. Suppressing the former was an effortless task.

Gu Qingfeng extended his hand, intending to completely suppress the God-Slaying Spear. The latter seemed to sense something and began to vibrate violently, sharp and cold rays of light bursting forth, as if trying to resist.

But it was in vain.

In the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.

"Holy Lord, we are going!!!"

Seeing the God-Slaying Spear about to be suppressed, the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land's cultivators' faces changed drastically. Several Dao Palace Realm experts showed resolute expressions and sacrificed themselves, their terrifying essence blood streams merging into the God-Slaying Spear.

"Hum—"

With the nourishment of a large amount of essence blood, the God-Slaying Spear's sharpness surged, instantly breaking through Gu Qingfeng's suppression and unleashing a powerful force comparable to the Divine Emperor Cauldron's earlier display.

Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng's expression turned cold.

"Let me see how many of you can be sacrificed!"

"Suppress it—"

The Divine Emperor Cauldron's divine might greatly increased, hammering down on the God-Slaying Spear, suppressing the supreme treasure's revived power once again.

Seeing this, Qi Jun's eyes turned bloodshot.

At this moment, he deeply regretted his decision.

If he had known Gu Qingfeng's strength would be so terrifying, he would never have chosen to confront him head-on.

Even if it meant damaging the Holy Land's reputation, it would have been worth it.

After all, even if the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land managed to repel Gu Qingfeng, the cost would be severe.

A large number of Dao Palace Realm experts would fall.

Not to mention the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, even other more ancient and powerful forces would find it difficult to bear such losses.

In the end.

Whether in the End Law Era or the Great Contention Era, Dao Palace Realm cultivators were the true backbone of a force.

In the End Law Era, Sages did not appear, and Dao Palace Realm experts were the highest authority.

In the Great Contention Era, Dao Palace Realm experts were equally important. If there were more experts at this level, the probability of producing a Sage would be greater.

At this moment.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng suppress the God-Slaying Spear, Qi Jun realized that the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land had to use its true reserves, even if it meant paying a huge price.

Immediately.

Qi Jun crushed a jade talisman.

Next.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura rose from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land's forbidden area, and an ancient city rose from the ground, standing in the void.

The ancient city was filled with a desolate and ancient aura, the marks of time unerased. When the ancient city appeared, a terrifying and profound aura spread through the void.

At this moment.

Gu Qingfeng heard Fu Shenjun's voice in his ear.

"Brother Gu, this is the Life Ancient City, a place where ancient powerhouses sealed themselves. Now that the Life Ancient City has appeared, it seems that an ancient existence from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land is about to awaken.

Even if this powerhouse has been sealed for many years, their strength must not be underestimated!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged.

He looked at the Life Ancient City, which exuded an ancient and decaying aura.

"Hum—"

The Life Ancient City trembled, and a hand emerged from it, carrying the infinite might of the universe and the stars, pressing down on Gu Qingfeng.

Space shattered!

The sun and moon dimmed!

This strike's power had truly surpassed the Dao Palace Realm, even breaking the limits of a Sage.

Facing this palm, Gu Qingfeng's body hair stood on end, and the blood and qi within his body boiled suddenly.

"Fight!"

Gu Qingfeng roared, his right fist smashing out, colliding with the palm.

Boom—

A shocking wave spread in all directions, then Gu Qingfeng's figure trembled and he could not help but retreat several steps.

At this moment.

A voice of astonishment came from the Life Ancient City.

"Without reaching the Sage Realm, you could withstand a strike from this seat, this kind of strength is indeed remarkable. Now, if you retreat, I will consider that nothing has happened!"

The powerful expert hidden in the ancient city did not appear, only communicating with Gu Qingfeng through the Life Ancient City.

In response.

Gu Qingfeng coldly said, "If you want this seat to leave, we shall see if you have the ability. Hiding in the Life Ancient City doesn't count as an ability. Come out and fight me!"

After he finished speaking.

The Evil-Slaying Blade appeared.

This strike.

Gu Qingfeng had driven the Perfect-grade Ancient Wasteland Sky Blade to its limits.

Upon the blade's release.

Heaven and yang seemed to be thoroughly severed.

A hundred miles of void shattered, and the blood-colored blade qi fiercely slashed toward the Life Ancient City, where divine light emerged, trying to block the force of the strike.

But, alas the divine light, before the blood-colored blade qi, any obstruction seemed insignificant.

In less than a breath.

The divine light vanished.

The blood-colored blade qi fiercely slashed the Life Ancient City, causing this ancient city to explode and shatter.

With the Life Ancient City's shattering, it was as if some terrifying seal had been broken, a vast ancient aura revived, sweeping the heavens and the Eight Desolates.

A middle-aged cultivator cladily walked out of the void, his eyes like stars, his face youthful, but his body exuded an aura of ancient decay.

.

Each step he took, lotus energy formed into lotus flowers, various heavenly phenomena emerged, and supreme holy authority suppressed the heavens and the universe.

"You are quite remarkable, if you don't die, achieving the Grand Sage realm is just a matter of time, which is a pity—"

The cultivator in white robes looked at Gu Qingfeng with a gaze that held both regret and a chilling killing intent.

Such a monster.

.

If he hadn't awakened, it would be fine, but now that he has awakened, he must certainly not let him live.

After all, the Life Ancient City is shattered, and I should do something for the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land.

At this moment.

Qi Jun respectfully said, "Now, there are experts attacking the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, having killed many cultivators. I humbly ask the Profound Feather Great Sage to take action and avenge the fallen cultivators of the Holy Land!"

"Are you the current Holy Lord of the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land?"

The cultivator in white robes, who was also the Profound Feather Great Sage, looked down at Qi Jun, his brows slightly furrowed, he could see that Qi Jun was already at the end of his strength.

Despite severe in his essence and blood were severely depleted, if not for half-a-Sage's powerful vitality, he would have already died.

"Late descendant, precisely!"

Qi Jun nodded in response.

Then.

.

The Profound Feather Great Sage flicked a finger, sending a warm and nourishing qi into Qi Jun's body,strengthening him significantly.

"Many thanks, theProfoundFeatherGreat_sage!"

Qi Jun, full of gratitude and also amazed by the Great Sage's abilities, knew his injuries very well.

At thismoment.

The ProfoundFeatherGreatSagefinally looked back at Gu Qingfeng.

"Leave your name, you have the qualifications to be remembered by this seat!"

"Why so many words?—"

Gu Qingfeng looked at theProfoundFeatherGreatSage,warintent boiling,extremelystirled up, his eyesflaring a killing intent.

"Before I truly clash with a Great Sage, let me witness the might of a Great Sage!"

"You will."

TheProfoundFeatherGreatSage stretched out his hand,theGod-SlayingSpear fell into his grasp.

"Remember!"

"Today, the one to slay you is the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land's Profound Feather—"

Before his words had finished, the Profound Feather Great Sage had already attacked, the God-SlayingSpear exploded with terrifying power, crimson light illuminated the sky,with the destructive force now fully erupting.

Such power, When the Ancient WastelandHolyLandhad activated theGod-SlayingSpear, it was entirely different.

A terrifying sense welled up from Gu Qingfeng's bottom, but instead of fear, his battle intent grew even more intense,if something in his blood seemed to be reviving.

"Fight!"

The Divine_emperor_pressed_the_void, both great sage weapons erupted with terrifying power,when they collided, thousands of miles of space shattered, huge waves of energy spread in all directions, even forcing Dao Palace Realm experts to retreat.

"Exhilarating!"

"Again!!"

Gu Qingfenglaughed aloud, the Divine Emperor Cauldron in his left hand, the Evil-slaying_blade_in his right, using both weapons to theirfullestextent.

On the other side.

The Profound Feather Great Sage's expression was calm and composed. Death silently descended under the God-Slaying Spear, each streak of cold light capable of easily suppressing great powers of the Dao Palace Realm, and even Sage Realm experts.

...

As the two fought, the terrifying fluctuations shook the entire Southern Region, and many powerful cultivators who heard the news turned their gazes to the battle in the void.

"This is the Profound Feather Great Sage from the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, who lived thirty thousand years ago. I didn't expect him to still be alive!"

"Who is the other person? How can he match the Profound Feather Great Sage without falling behind!?"

"Hiss, could this person also be a Great Sage Realm expert?"

Many cultivators in the Southern Region recognized the identity of the Profound Feather Great Sage at first glance. After all, he was a Great Sage Realm expert from thirty thousand years ago. Even if he had sealed himself and fallen into a deep sleep, his existence was still recorded in many factions.

In contrast,

They were truly puzzled about Gu Qingfeng.

However, soon, other cultivators explained Gu Qingfeng's identity.

Instantly,

All the powerful cultivators were stunned.

Gu Qingfeng of the Divine Martial Dynasty! A cultivator who had not yet truly attained the Sage Realm, yet he could contend with a Great Sage. How could they not be shocked?

Not only were other cultivators stunned, but the cultivators from the Void Holy Land and the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land were also filled with disbelief when they saw Gu Qingfeng battling the Profound Feather Great Sage.

"Master Fu, are you sure this person has not entered the Sage Realm?"

Yan Lingyun turned his head to look at Fu Shenjun, his voice filled with disbelief.

Fu Shenjun couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Can't the Holy Lord tell whether he has attained the Sage Realm or not?"

"..."

This time, it was Yan Lingyun's turn to be silent.

How could he not tell if someone had attained the Sage Realm or not?

Sage Realm experts could command the power of heaven and earth, which was the main characteristic after attaining the Sage Realm and the fundamental reason why Sages could surpass the Dao Palace Realm.

Therefore, any Sage, even the weakest, could easily suppress Dao Palace Realm cultivators.

But now,

Gu Qingfeng, who had not attained the Sage Realm, could fight the Profound Feather Great Sage on equal terms. Such strength naturally left Yan Lingyun in shock.

Even in ancient times, there were heaven-defying geniuses, but it was extremely rare for them to achieve this level.

Looking at the increasingly fierce Gu Qingfeng, Fu Shenjun seemed to have an idea.

"Does the Holy Lord think that Brother Gu might possess some kind of divine body?"

"Possibly..."

Yan Lingyun nodded slightly.

If he were not a heaven-defying genius with a divine body, how could he achieve this?

But the problem was,

Even if he were a heaven-defying genius with a divine body, so what?

Throughout history, divine bodies have appeared, but none were said to be so heaven-defying that they could contend with a Sage at the Dao Palace Realm.

For a moment,

Numerous names of divine bodies flashed through Yan Lingyun's mind, but none could match Gu Qingfeng.

There were divine bodies that grew stronger with each battle, such as the Battle Sage Body and the Tyrant Divine Body, which were top-tier divine bodies that grew stronger with each battle.

But,

Even the strongest divine bodies had their limits.

So,

Yan Lingyun couldn't determine what kind of divine body Gu Qingfeng possessed.

...

"Boom—"

The Divine Emperor Cauldron shattered the void, and the terrifying force struck the God-Slaying Spear, sending a backlash that split the Profound Feather Great Sage's palm, causing him to take a step back.

This was the first time the Profound Feather Great Sage had retreated during the battle.

Shock was evident on the ancient Great Sage's face.

"What kind of divine body do you possess?!"

He had thought it would be easy to suppress this ant, but now he found that the other party was a fierce tiger. Even with the Profound Feather Great Sage's composure, a sense of absurdity could not be suppressed.

Facing the Profound Feather Great Sage's shock, Gu Qingfeng's face was filled with killing intent.

"If this is the strength of the Great Sage Realm, then the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land has no reason to exist today!"

As the battle continued, Gu Qingfeng felt a power within his flesh and blood awakening, a power that came from the Ancient Immortal Body.

All along,

The Ancient Immortal Body had not shown much divine power.

Until this battle.

Gu Qingfeng finally unleashed the true potential of the Ancient Immortal Body.

With the awakening of the Ancient Immortal Body, Gu Qingfeng swung the most powerful blade in his history. The terrifying slaughter force engulfed the heavens and earth, and the blood-colored blade aura shattered the sky, reflecting in the Profound Feather Great Sage's eyes.
