Chapter 372: Wilted Mountain Immortal City

Chapter 372: Wilted Mountain Immortal City

Boom—

When the blood-colored blade light clashed with the ancient tower, a devastating force surged outward.

A powerful shockwave hit Gu Qingfeng, causing his blood and qi to surge, but he forcefully suppressed it.

As for the Raksha Demon Emperor.

The backlash from the two Imperial Weapons caused his body to crack, and a large amount of golden blood splattered down.

"Kill!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes were cold as he swung the Evil-Slaying Blade again, unleashing a terrifying force that shattered the heavens, making the Raksha Demon Emperor's expression filled with fear.

Even with an Imperial Weapon in hand, the Raksha Demon Emperor was completely at a disadvantage.

The other demon emperors, seeing this, couldn't afford to be stunned for long and attacked Gu Qingfeng once more.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!!

Holding the Imperial Weapon, Gu Qingfeng's formidable blood and qi had reached their peak. The four Heaven Veins seemed to connect with the heavens and earth, drawing in a constant stream of power, pushing his strength beyond its limits.

While a Sage Realm expert can only initially tap into the power of heaven and earth, the four Heaven Veins allow one to seize that power.

There was no comparison between the two.

Boom—

With a single strike, Gu Qingfeng sent a demon's Imperial Weapon flying, then followed up with another slash, completely slaying a demon emperor on the spot.

As the demon emperor's body exploded, Gu Qingfeng didn't pause. The Evil-Slaying Blade emitted a shocking blood light, and the crescent-shaped blade light shattered everything, making the demon side struggle to hold on.

"No—"

Moments later, another demon emperor let out a defiant roar before being slain by Gu Qingfeng.

By then,

Six demon emperors.

Three had already fallen.

The remaining Raksha Demon Emperor, Hane Hai You Huang, and Heavenly Chief Demon Emperor were all injured, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Gu Qingfeng.

Before this,

No one had expected

the outcome of this battle to be like this.

"Retreat!!"

Seeing Gu Qingfeng advancing again, the Raksha Demon Emperor finally spoke with reluctance and led the way toward the Realm Gateway.

Immediately,

Hane Hai You Huang and Heavenly Chief Demon Emperor followed without hesitation, heading toward the Realm Gateway.

But as the three demon emperors retreated, Gu Qingfeng closely pursued them.

The next moment,

A terrifying force erupted from within the Realm Gateway.

After a long while,

The force gradually subsided.

Then,

Gu Qingfeng emerged from the Realm Gateway, his blue robe stained with blood. In his right hand, he held a grotesque, ape-like head, its eyes wide open in defiance, as if it refused to die in peace.

"Heavenly Chief Demon Emperor!"

Seeing the head, everyone was stunned.

There was no doubt.

This fallen demon emperor

was the Heavenly Chief Demon Emperor.

"We... we won!!"

Someone's voice stuttered, breaking the silence.

We won!!

The human race had won this battle!

At that moment,

Everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng with a mix of awe and reverence for his strength.

Everyone knew that this battle would shock the Ancient Realm.

Six demon emperors.

Among them was the Raksha Demon Emperor from ten thousand years ago, whose power had reached the Ban Di Level, and he even carried an Imperial Weapon.

But even so, he was defeated by Gu Qingfeng.

Four out of the six demon emperors had fallen, and the remaining two were defeated and retreated.

Such strength.

Was enough to make Gu Qingfeng the first among all below the Emperor rank.

Some even wondered,

If a true Emperor were to face him, could he still stand a chance?

Gu Qingfeng crushed the head of the Heavenly Chief Demon Emperor and declared loudly, "From this day forward, the Zhenyao Immortal City front will be pushed into the You Mo Realm, and no demon shall step out again!"

With these words.

Jiang Nanfeng immediately roared, "All demon suppression army, follow me into the Realm Gateway!"

"Kill!"

The others were also invigorated, charging towards the Realm Gateway.

With the defeat of six demon emperors, the demons no longer had any cultivators entering the Realm Gateway, and the remaining forces were in full retreat.

Immediately.

Led by the demon suppression army, a large number of human cultivators surged through the Realm Gateway and invaded the You Mo Realm.

---

Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground!

The powerful demons guarding this place were shocked and enraged when they saw the large number of humans appearing.

"Human invasion!!!"

The war horn sounded, and several Demon Lords were instantly alerted.

However.

The moment these Demon Lords appeared, a world-annihilating blade light swept over them. They didn't even have time to react before their bodies exploded, and they perished on the spot.

"Grandmaster Gu's divine might!"

"Emperor Qingfeng!!!"

Those who witnessed this were filled with excitement and reverence.

Emperor!

This is our human Emperor!

Although Gu Qingfeng had not yet truly reached this level, from the moment four demon emperors were killed and two were severely wounded, in everyone's eyes, he was already no different from an Emperor.

Several Demon Lords perished.

Gu Qingfeng's aura swept through the inner world, instantly suppressing the entire Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground.

All the demons here were slaughtered to the last.

Next.

Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and laid down a great Dao restriction in the Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground. Various terrifying Dao patterns were embedded in the void, and then he carved array patterns in the air, creating a top-tier fifth-rank array.

Although Gu Qingfeng was still a sixth-rank Array Dao Master, with his current cultivation, setting up a fifth-rank array was a simple and effortless task.

Even a sixth-rank array posed little difficulty.

In just a short while.

Gu Qingfeng had set up twenty-seven fifth-rank arrays in the Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground. These arrays were interconnected, and when triggered, they could unleash power comparable to a sixth-rank array.

After setting up the arrays.

Gu Qingfeng moved his divine consciousness, and a magnificent city suddenly appeared, settling in the Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground.

"This is Wilted Mountain Immortal City. Any human cultivator entering the You Mo Realm can seek refuge here if they encounter danger!"

Gu Qingfeng's voice, though not loud, echoed in everyone's ears.

Wilted Mountain Immortal City!

Seeing the magnificent city, the others' expressions became even more reverent.

The establishment of the Immortal City!

This meant that the human side had firmly established a foothold in the You Mo Realm.

From now on, they could use Wilted Mountain Immortal City as a base to invade the You Mo Realm.

Although the You Mo Realm was different from the Ancient Realm, it was still an ancient world with many opportunities.

Even if there were no other opportunities in the You Mo Realm, the inner cores of demons were a great temptation for human cultivators.

Next.

Gu Qingfeng stepped into Wilted Mountain Immortal City, his figure disappearing.

---

"Wilted Mountain Immortal City!"

"Damned Gu Qingfeng... When did he become so powerful!!!"

In the Myriad Demons Ancestral Court, Hane Hai You Huang was both shocked and furious, looking in the direction of the Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground, his eyes filled with venomous killing intent.

He never could have imagined it.

It had only been a few years since they last met.

Gu Qingfeng's strength had already reached such a terrifying level.

While Gu Qingfeng was always powerful, Hane Hai You Huang always had the confidence to stand against him.

But this time.

Six Demon Emperors personally descended upon the Ancient Realm, yet Gu Qingfeng swiftly slew four of them, leaving only Hane Hai You Huang and Raksha Demon Emperor to retreat in disgrace.

Such power left Hane Hai You Huang with lingering fear every time he recalled it.

On the other side.

Raksha Demon Emperor's expression was grim: "Even if Gu Qingfeng hasn't broken through to the Da Di realm, he must be just a step away. Looking back from the ancient era to now, his strength at the Ban Di level is truly among the top-tier."

"If not, it would be impossible to achieve this—"

Ten thousand years ago.

I had already ascended to the Ban Di level.

Back then.

Raksha Demon Emperor was full of vigor, leading the Demon Clan's army to invade the Ancient Realm, causing numerous Eastern Domain strongholds to cry out in despair.

If not for the intervention of Tianyuan Emperor, Raksha Demon Emperor had the confidence to conquer the entire Eastern Domain single-handedly.

Despite this.

Raksha Demon Emperor had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Though he was defeated ten thousand years ago, it was at the hands of an Emperor, a defeat that brought him honor.

Not everyone is worthy of becoming an Emperor's adversary, nor can everyone endure an Emperor's assault.

Raksha Demon Emperor had achieved both, and that was enough for him to be proud.

Even though Tianyuan Emperor left an almost indelible Dao wound on Raksha Demon Emperor, it took ten thousand years to barely heal.

When he heard Hane Hai You Huang's words earlier, Raksha Demon Emperor didn't think much of it and directly joined the expedition to the Eastern Domain.

He believed that with his own strength and the other five Demon Emperors, subduing a mere Human Ancestor Emperor would be no problem at all.

But no matter how much Raksha Demon Emperor thought about it, he could never have imagined that a mere human would have such terrifying power.

Six Demon Emperors were no match for him.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng establish his Immortal City in the Wilted Mountain Sacred Ground, Raksha Demon Emperor, despite his anger, had no way to retaliate.

Every time he thought about the previous battle, Raksha Demon Emperor felt a lingering fear.

Gu Qingfeng's strength was absolutely beyond his ability to contend with.

If they were to awaken all the remaining Demon Emperors of the Myriad Demons Ancestral Court, they might be able to forcefully slay him, but the Demon Clan would have to pay a tremendous price.

As for calling other Demon Emperors from other Realm Gateways, that was out of the question.

The Realm Gateways must not be compromised.

Now that the Eastern Domain's Realm Gateway has fallen, the other Realm Gateways must not fall into disarray.

Otherwise.

The Demon Clan would suffer the consequences.

"This person's strength can only be suppressed by an Emperor. For now, do not provoke a conflict. When You Di awakens, he will make Gu Qingfeng pay the price!"

Raksha Demon Emperor said solemnly.

His words were clear, indicating that they would temporarily abandon any actions against Wilted Mountain Immortal City.

Hane Hai You Huang, of course, had no intention of opposing this decision.

The battle at Zhenyao Immortal City.

Left Hane Hai You Huang with a deep-seated fear.

That battle was like a nightmare, haunting his mind, and even if Raksha Demon Emperor truly wanted to continue targeting Gu Qingfeng, Hane Hai You Huang did not have the courage to do so.

Unless—

You Di were to awaken.

So.

The Raksha Demon Emperor's decision to abandon his plans aligned perfectly with Hane Hai You Huang's intentions.

"Gu Qingfeng is in the Eastern Domain, and unless You Di were to re-emerge, he is an insurmountable obstacle. To open up a new front in the Ancient Realm, we must focus on other areas."

Hane Hai You Huang's eyes burned with a deadly resolve. This failure must be avenged through the human race.

While they couldn't defeat Gu Qingfeng and his allies, other human factions were a different story.

The Demon Clan had been in hiding for many years, and their strength far surpassed that of the current human race.

As other demon emperors opened the Realm Gateways, they faced resistance from the humans, but the Demon Clan steadily advanced, holding a significant advantage.

This was why Hane Hai You Huang had initially sought to ally with other demon emperors to slay Gu Qingfeng.

The situation in the other major domains of the Ancient Realm had fueled Hane Hai You Huang's ambition to conquer the Eastern Domain, leading to the subsequent events.

Unfortunately.

That battle ended in a disastrous defeat for the Demon Clan, with heavy losses.

However.

The Demon Clan still had a chance.

Even with the humans establishing Wilted Mountain Immortal City, Hane Hai You Huang believed it posed little threat to the Demon Clan.

After all, the humans, if not foolish, would never dare to venture deeply into the You Mo Realm.

Even the mighty Tianyuan Emperor had to retreat after a deep incursion into the You Mo Realm, demonstrating its profound strength.

While Hane Hai You Huang didn't want to easily tap into such reserves, he would not hesitate if faced with a large-scale human invasion.

The Raksha Demon Emperor nodded slightly. "You are right. Our only option is to open up fronts in other parts of the Ancient Realm and to search for the coordinates of the Ancient Realm."

In the vast, chaotic starry sky, obtaining the coordinates of a world was no easy task.

But once they had the coordinates, they could continuously attack the Ancient Realm, and if they faced overwhelming resistance, the Demon Clan could retreat with ease.

On the human side, without knowing the coordinates of the You Mo Realm, any counterattack was nearly impossible.

As for the Realm Gateway—

Such a passage could be destroyed by an emperor and was not truly invincible.

—

Ancient Realm.

The battle of Zhenyao Immortal City swept through the Eastern Domain like a storm, then spread throughout the entire Ancient Realm.

The news of the battle's outcome sent shockwaves through the human race.

"Six demon emperors!"

"Gu Dao You's strength has improved tremendously!"

In the Central Domain's Ancient Qin Family, Qin Xiongdao's face was filled with shock. He almost couldn't believe what he had heard.

Back then, while Qin Xiongdao was amazed by Gu Qingfeng's strength, he never imagined it would reach such a level.

To be honest.

Qin Xiongdao found it easier to believe that Gu Qingfeng had been hiding his true strength all along rather than making such a significant breakthrough in recent years.

Of course.

This possibility was slim.

In other words.

Gu Qingfeng must have had a Defy Heaven opportunity.

Otherwise, even if he were the reincarnation of an emperor, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a terrifying level of cultivation in such a short time.

If Gu Qingfeng had been weak, and Qin Xiongdao had learned of his Defy Heaven opportunity, he would not have stood idly by.

But now—

Even though Qin Xiongdao suspected something, he dared not entertain any other thoughts. (End of Chapter)
