Chapter 343: The Mysterious Being with a Severed Arm

Chapter 343: The Mysterious Being with a Severed Arm

February 10th, 2025

"Your Deadloyal 'Fang Chen' leads the Ancient Feng Clan Cultivators to fight against the Demon Clan!"

"Your Deadloyal 'Fang Chen' set up an ambush and slew 300,000 Demon Clan soldiers in one battle, earning the appreciation of the upper echelons of the Ancient Feng Clan!"

"Your Deadloyal 'Fang Chen' was severely injured by a powerful Demon Clan ambush, but fortunately, a strong cultivator from the Ancient Feng Clan came to his aid, saving his life!"

"Your Deadloyal..."

...

Gu Qingfeng was stationed in Zhenyao Immortal City, constantly observing the changes on the Information Panel.

The Descendants Interface naturally didn't change much, as the younger generations of the Gu family were generally stable and improving. Occasionally, one or two of them would break through, providing Gu Qingfeng with some Power Points.

As for the Deadloyal Interface...

The situation was far more dire.

It was through the Information Panel that Gu Qingfeng first learned that the Demon Clan had opened Jieyu Channels in various places in the Primeval Ancient World, beginning a large-scale invasion.

The Five Great Domains of the Primeval Ancient World were vast and boundless.

When something happened, it took time for the news to spread.

Therefore, there was another advantage to having many Deadloyals.

Gu Qingfeng could immediately learn about the changes in the human race across the various domains.

"Except for the Eastern Domain, Jieyu Channels have appeared in the other four Great Domains, indicating that other Demon Emperors from the Demon Clan have taken action!"

"Among the Five Great Domains, the Eastern Domain is the weakest, while the other four are deeply rooted and powerful. Even though the Demon Clan is formidable, it's not an easy task to truly conquer these domains."

Gu Qingfeng observed the information on the panel, but his heart remained calm.

The fundamental reason for the Eastern Domain's weakness lay in the war that took place ten million years ago.

Although the other domains had also experienced Demon Clan invasions more than once, the losses from those wars had been recovered due to the long passage of time.

Only the Eastern Domain had not fully recovered its vitality due to the relatively short time since the last war.

As a result, when the Demon Clan invaded again, it was a dire situation.

To be blunt, if it weren't for the intervention of the Divine Martial Empire, Gu Qingfeng's presence in Zhenyao Immortal City, and the fact that the main force of the Demon Clan was being suppressed by Gu Qingfeng, this invasion would have been enough to devastate the Eastern Domain.

Now that the true main force of the Demon Clan was being directly suppressed by Gu Qingfeng, the remaining Demon Clan soldiers, though entering the Primeval Ancient World through various formations, were not too serious a threat.

With this, the Eastern Domain had the strength to withstand the invasion.

At this moment, on the battlefield, many formations and defensive weapons were overburdened and couldn't be used again temporarily. The Zhenmo Army had no choice but to engage in close combat with the Demon Clan.

Fortunately, the Trick God, who had already reached the Saint Realm, also took action.

With such a powerful and bizarre leader, the Demon Clan couldn't stir up much trouble.

Although the Trick God had just entered the Saint Realm, his strength was comparable to that of a regular Saint.

Moreover, the Trick God had many means of controlling bizarre phenomena, and the mysterious patterns on his back could summon numerous powerful beings that had been revived by him.

To be blunt, the Trick God alone was equivalent to an entire army.

Therefore, under such powerful suppression, the Demon Clan was no match.

Even though the powerful Demon Clan was behind the Demon Army, they dared not intervene recklessly due to the Trick God's anger.

After all, the Demon Clan was well aware that the Trick God wasn't the most frightening aspect.

What was truly terrifying was the top-notch cultivator, Gu Qingfeng, who was stationed in Zhenyao Immortal City.

He was the supreme cultivator who had once severed the arm of the Hananhai Demon Emperor.

These powerful Demon Clan members were well aware that if they dared to take a step across the Jieyu Channel, they would undoubtedly be cut down by Gu Qingfeng.

No one would dare to provoke such a supreme cultivator who rivaled the Demon Emperor.

Fortunately, the Demon Clan had a vast number of soldiers.

An endless stream of Demon Clan members emerged from the Jieyu Channel, unafraid of casualties.

There were even nine Half-Saint Realm Demon Clan members and over a hundred Dao Palace Realm Demon Clan members who rushed towards the Trick God, intending to rely on their absolute numbers to forcibly suppress a bizarre being comparable to a Saint.

The Trick God was unafraid.

He moved as swiftly as a ghost, his palms easily breaking through the protective aura of many powerful Demon Clan members, and his sharp nails could tear through their flesh, extracting their internal organs.

In just a moment, five Half-Saint Demon Clan members had their organs removed, and then the Trick God cruelly beheaded them.

This scene caused the faces of the other Demon Clan members to change drastically.

"A Saint-level Bizarre Being..."

They knew that a bizarre being comparable to a Saint was powerful, but they hadn't expected it to be this formidable.

In front of this being, they felt as weak as children.

It wasn't just a matter of joining forces to exterminate them.

Survival was a question in itself.

Suddenly, a half-saint demon, unable to contain its inner fear, fled into the Jieyu Channel without a backward glance.

But at that moment, a bizarre black light burst forth, effortlessly piercing the half-saint demon's body. A terrifying black mist emerged from the Trick God, and countless hands reached out to grab it.

"No!!! Don't!!!"

The half-saint demon struggled violently, its face filled with terror.

However, the numerous hands quickly covered it, soon submerging its entire body.

In the next instant, the sound of chewing emanated from the hands, as if something was gnawing on flesh and bones, accompanied by the most piercing screams.

After a moment, the hands dispersed, leaving only a bloodstained and shattered skeleton falling from the sky.

"!!!"

This scene shocked the other powerful demons, causing their hairs to stand on end.

Nothing was more terrifying than witnessing the brutal death of a powerful ally being devoured alive.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and the remaining morale dissipated instantly.

Even with the Yaojun's decree, these powerful demons dared not stay any longer.

Disobeying orders might not result in death, but staying would surely lead to it! Moreover, it meant being devoured alive.

No one wanted to endure such agony.

So, they fled, the only option left.

With the retreat of the half-saint demons and the Dao Palace Realm cultivators, the demon clan's attack ended in failure once again.

This outcome did not surprise Gu Qingfeng.

From the beginning, his divine sense had focused on the Trick God.

He witnessed the Trick God slaughtering countless demons and the fallen lives on the battlefield, absorbing their blood, energy, and soul powers into the Trick God Banner, ultimately refining them into pure energy to enhance its strength.

The Trick God had only recently broken through to the Saint Realm, but after numerous battles, in just half a month, its cultivation had advanced significantly, and it was on the verge of qualifying for the second level of the Saint Realm.

"As long as there is an abundance of living beings' blood and flesh, the Trick God's strength will continue to rise endlessly, and from its appearance, there seems to be no sign of any bottlenecks."

Gu Qingfeng increasingly realized the extraordinary nature of the Trick God Banner.

He was also curious.

If the Trick God Banner continued to devour, what level of power could the Trick God it nurtured reach?

It is worth mentioning that Gu Qingfeng specifically instructed the Trick God not to consume the blood, energy, or souls of the human race.

After all, the Zhenmo Army and the cultivators guarding Zhenyao Immortal City were subjects of the Divine Martial Empire, and Gu Qingfeng would never allow such actions.

At that moment, Gu Qingfeng's eyebrows furrowed as he looked towards a certain direction outside Zhenyao Immortal City, where numerous killing auras were converging, as if something was attracting them.

Instantly, Gu Qingfeng's divine sense moved, and his figure disappeared from the hall.

---

In the Ancient Beast Mountains, a bizarre black mist lingered, and the space violently shook and distorted. Torrents of killing intent surged towards a specific point in space, as if something was about to be born within.

"Bizarre... or evil spirits?"

Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, observing the space and the overwhelming killing intent, his face expressionless.

The latest chapter of the novel is available on 69shu.com!

With his current divine sense perception, he could sense the existence of a hidden seal and restriction power behind the space.

This restriction power was both powerful and ancient, as if it had existed for an eternity.

And behind this restriction, there was an evil force stirring.

Suddenly, the space violently trembled and collapsed, and a terrifying evil aura burst forth.

"Boom!"

A formidable force blocked out the sky, and an evil spirit emerged from the shattered space, its eyes blood-red and its face twisted with cruelty.

However, before this evil spirit could make any move, Gu Qingfeng, who had been waiting outside, took action.

He drew out the Exterminate Evil Blade, and its blood and energy power burned like a divine sun, instantly dispersing all the evil auras it touched.

"Roar!!!"

The newly revived evil spirit, its face contorted with rage, unleashed its most powerful attack.

Unfortunately, this evil spirit, having just broken free from its seal, was far weaker than before, its strength not even on the same level as Gu Qingfeng's.

The blade, as sharp as the sun, cleaved through the heavens, splitting the evil spirit's body in two, and its flesh and blood melted away under the overwhelming power.

After a moment, the evil spirit vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a severed arm.

Gu Qingfeng reached out and grasped the severed arm, its entirety a dark blue-black hue with black and sharp fingernails, clearly not belonging to a normal person.

The arm emanated a terrifying and evil aura, constantly attempting to invade Gu Qingfeng's body and corrupt his mind.

More importantly, Gu Qingfeng sensed a familiar energy within the arm, similar to the evil spirit's, writhing and alive.

If left unattended, this arm would give birth to a new evil spirit after a long time.

Gu Qingfeng tried to destroy the arm with his own blood energy, but unfortunately, his scorching blood energy, even more intense than the sun, couldn't move the arm an inch.

Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng's face turned solemn.

"Even my current blood energy struggles to move this arm. It seems the owner of this arm is no ordinary being. Moreover, although the evil spirit has just revived, its strength can already rival that of a regular Great Saint..."

The severed arm had existed for an unknown amount of time, yet it remained indestructible.

Not only that, but the arm had also given birth to a powerful evil spirit.

Based on the evil spirit's condition, if it were to fully revive, its strength would be comparable to at least a Shengwang Realm.

This level of evil spirit was not to be taken lightly.

Gu Qingfeng was no stranger to the severed arm, as he also possessed a drop of extraordinary blood and a severed finger.

He then temporarily stored the arm in the Shenhuang Cauldron for suppression before examining the shattered space before him.

Beyond the space was another world.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Gu Qingfeng stepped into it.

...

As Gu Qingfeng entered the space, the powerful evil spirit's aura startled many powerful beings from the Nine Regions and the Eastern Domain.

The first to arrive were from the Divine Martial Empire, which was closest to the Ancient Beast Mountains.

Nan Yue Shan gazed at the shattered space and the lingering evil spirit's aura, his face growing solemn.

"There must have been an evil spirit born here, but from the current situation, it seems the evil spirit has been eradicated. The remaining aura is so powerful that it must have been at least a Saint-level evil spirit in its lifetime..."

As the commander of the Heaven-Patrolling Guards, Nan Yue Shan had long surpassed the Dao Palace Realm. Yet, the lingering aura in this place made him feel a strange sense of oppression, indicating the immense power the evil spirit possessed while alive.

The nearby Heaven-Patrolling Guards paled upon hearing this.

"A Saint-level evil spirit!!!"

The word 'Saint' carried immense weight for them.

Nan Yue Shan shook his head slightly, "There's no need to worry. This evil spirit has been slain. Only one person could have acted so swiftly to kill such a powerful evil spirit, and that person is none other than the Great Emperor."

"Do you mean the Great Emperor himself took action?"

"Indeed!"

Nan Yue Shan nodded.

"The Great Emperor resides in Zhenyao Immortal City, not far from here. If an evil spirit were to appear, it wouldn't escape his notice. Only he could have acted with such speed and might to eliminate an evil spirit of this caliber!"

At this point, Nan Yue Shan's eyes revealed a hint of reverence.

The weak have always revered the strong.

Needless to say, Gu Qingfeng was recognized as one of the top powerhouses in the Primeval Ancient World.

This top-tier powerhouse had already surpassed the prefix of the End of the Dharma Era.

His battle with the Hananhai Demon Emperor firmly established Gu Qingfeng's strength.

After all, being able to sever the arm of a High-ranked Demon Emperor meant his strength was at least at the latter stages of the Empire Aspirant Realm, or even the peak of the Empire Aspirant Realm.

Unless a Great Emperor appeared, few could match Gu Qingfeng's strength.

Such a level of power was not limited to the End of the Dharma Era. Even in other prosperous eras, it would still be considered among the top.

In essence, Great Emperors were rare, like phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

From ancient times until now, there have been very few beings who could truly attain the Great Emperor Realm.

Forget about Great Emperors; even those who have reached the Empire Aspirant Realm are limited.

This shows just how formidable Gu Qingfeng's strength truly is.
