Chapter 426: No Regrets, Even in Death!

Chapter 426: No Regrets, Even in Death!

Inside the Gu Family Manor.

Gu Qingfeng's expression was calm.

He had just sensed Mai Xue's unusual movements and realized that Gu Fengyuan was in danger, so he acted from a distance to rescue him.

At Gu Qingfeng's level, he had already reached the pinnacle of the entire chaotic universe. Taking even a small step forward would break the limits of the universe's Heavenly Path.

Using his powers from a distance was not just effortless but also presented no difficulty at all.

With Gu Qingfeng's divine consciousness now so powerful, it could cover the entire Ancient Realm and even extend into the Primordial Chaos, where various star systems appeared in his perception.

Suddenly.

Gu Qingfeng's expression changed, and his figure vanished from the Gu Family Manor.

...

In a desolate star system, a world floated in the Primordial Chaos. Inside this world, all life had long been extinguished, except for a towering figure seated in the sky, surrounded by a terrifying aura that continuously enhanced his cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time.

The figure opened his eyes, and a glint of light, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the sky, creating a resounding explosion in this barren, lifeless world.

"My strength has been restored to a satisfactory level!"

"Unfortunately, Gu Qingfeng has already reached the Imperial Realm, and with my current strength, it is difficult to be his match—"

Black Abyss the Great Emperor thought of something, and his calm expression turned grim.

The name "Gu Qingfeng" had become a nightmare for him.

He had witnessed firsthand, from the shadows, how Gu Qingfeng single-handedly suppressed nine emperors from the Otherworld in the foreign battlefield. That terrifying power left Black Abyss the Great Emperor in awe and fear.

If before, Black Abyss the Great Emperor still harbored some thoughts of revenge, now, despite his lingering resentment, he dared not reveal any trace of his presence.

Joking.

Even the nine emperors of the Otherworld could not withstand Gu Qingfeng's single move, let alone himself.

Each of those nine emperors possessed unfathomable strength, not inferior to Black Abyss the Great Emperor in the slightest.

Given this, their defeat clearly demonstrated the formidable power of Gu Qingfeng.

Therefore, Black Abyss the Great Emperor dared not act rashly.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Immortal Ascension Gate to appear.

Given Gu Qingfeng's overwhelming strength, he was destined to transcend to the Immortal Realms in this world. Black Abyss the Great Emperor was waiting for this opportunity.

Once he could enter the Immortal Realms and attain eternal life, all problems would no longer be problems.

Thinking of this, Black Abyss the Great Emperor's expression returned to calm. He looked at the desolate world before him, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Just a few ants!

To him, killing them was nothing.

To restore his strength, Black Abyss the Great Emperor had lost count of how many lives he had sacrificed.

Especially after the battle with Black Coffin the Great Emperor, he suffered severe injuries, forcing him to consume even more life essences to recover.

Thinking of Black Coffin the Great Emperor, Black Abyss the Great Emperor's eyes turned cold.

"I have noted this matter. When the time comes, I will settle accounts with you!"

Without a doubt.

Black Coffin the Great Emperor was an ancient and supreme emperor.

But even so, Black Abyss the Great Emperor was unafraid.

Both being emperors, who could be much stronger than the other?

Even if he couldn't match the peak strength of Black Coffin the Great Emperor, he was confident he could retreat safely.

Besides, in a real battle, the outcome was still uncertain.

His retreat earlier was not a defeat but a temporary avoidance of the sharp edge.

At that moment.

The void trembled.

A figure in green robes appeared in the world.

Seeing the arrival of the figure, Black Abyss the Great Emperor did not hesitate for a moment and immediately fled into the void.

But in the next moment.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the surrounding void, and the space around him seemed to solidify like a mountain, forcing Black Abyss the Great Emperor to reappear.

The overwhelming pressure made the ancient emperor's face pale, and he forced a strained smile.

"Emperor Qingfeng, I assure you, I have no intention of opposing the Divine Martial Empire. Regarding the incident in the Primordial Ancient Land, in light of the fact that I once taught you the Depth Sutra, why not let bygones be bygones?

I can guarantee that I will not cause any trouble for the Divine Martial Empire or the Gu Family in the future. If you don't believe me, I can swear a Dao Oath!"

Black Abyss the Great Emperor hurriedly spoke, fearing that a moment's delay would result in his death at Gu Qingfeng's hands.

As he spoke, the ancient emperor felt bitter.

He had been careful, yet still, he had been found.

Facing Gu Qingfeng's overwhelming presence, Black Abyss the Great Emperor truly understood the terrifying strength of such an existence.

Logically speaking.

Emperors should not have a significant gap in power.

But in the face of Gu Qingfeng's pressure, Black Abyss the Great Emperor could not even entertain the thought of a fight. The pressure made him feel as if he were facing the Primordial Chaos's Heavenly Path.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng seemed to have broken the emperor's constraints and transcended to a higher dimension.

This disparity made Black Abyss the Great Emperor realize that he was no match for Gu Qingfeng.

However.

Gu Qingfeng did not directly respond to Black Abyss the Great Emperor but instead asked a question.

"Do you know that I have already eradicated all the forbidden zones in the Ancient Realm?"

"..."

"Do you also know that I have almost wiped out all the ancient emperors?"

"..."

Black Abyss the Great Emperor fell silent.

After a long moment, he spoke with difficulty, "Are you truly determined to exterminate us all?"

"You are destined to open the Immortal Ascension Gate and enter the Immortal Realms, but you should also know how terrifying the Immortal Realms are.

In ancient times, the Primordial Sovereign, with the power of the entire divine dynasty, opened the Immortal Ascension Gate and ultimately faced the terrifying entities of the Immortal Realms, only to meet a tragic end.

Your strength is indeed formidable, but you may not be stronger than the entities in the Immortal Realms!"

" Spare my life, and when you open the Immortal Ascension Gate, I can serve as your vanguard and help you fight the entities of the Immortal Realms!"

This was Black Abyss the Great Emperor's final plea.

He knew Gu Qingfeng's resolve to kill him, so he tried to offer value.

Otherwise, this world would be his grave.

"Even as an emperor, in my eyes, you are no different from an ant. Your existence offers me no benefit.

On the contrary, your non-existence might have some use!"

Gu Qingfeng chuckled, and his words made Black Abyss the Great Emperor's face flush with anger.

“I am the Emperor of the Primeval Era. How dare you insult me so—”

The moment Black Abyss the Great Emperor spoke, Gu Qingfeng’s right hand clenched in the air, summoning a terrifying force that swept in from all directions. The overwhelming pressure caused his face to pale.

“Boom—”

His body shattered.

Imperial Blood flowed.

But the injuries on his body were nothing compared to the despair in his heart.

He knew there was a significant gap between himself and Gu Qingfeng, but he never expected that a single hand from the latter would render him powerless.

The pressure from all directions made Black Abyss the Great Emperor’s face turn red, his imperial body’s Dao rhythm crumbling inch by inch, and more Imperial Blood flowed out, making it difficult for him to speak.

“Now you should understand the true gap between us!”

“The strength you pride yourself on is utterly insignificant before me.”

“There’s an old saying that I will surely open the Immortal Ascension Gate and battle the beings of the Immortal Realms. But with your strength, you are not even qualified to be my vanguard—”

With his final words, Gu Qingfeng clenched his fingers, and Black Abyss the Great Emperor’s physical body exploded, blood splattering into the void.

At the moment his body shattered, a stream of divine soul light tried to escape, but as it was about to leave this realm, Gu Qingfeng’s eyes filled with Dao rhythm, and the shadow of the Yellow Springs Dao descended, suppressing it.

“Ahh!!!”

With a blood-curdling scream, Black Abyss the Great Emperor’s divine soul was completely extinguished.

Blood rained down!

It symbolized the fall of an emperor.

From start to finish.

Gu Qingfeng had only used one hand.

Just as he said, Black Abyss the Great Emperor was no different from an ant before him.

Gu Qingfeng’s current strength could no longer be measured by conventional standards.

Although his cultivation was still at the peak of the Emperor realm, he had mastered two Heavenly Sovereign Dao paths, and one of them had even reached the second level. Moreover, his body had been refined with Heavenly Sovereign Essence Blood, enhancing it to a level comparable to a half-step Heavenly Sovereign.

In summary.

Gu Qingfeng’s strength had completely transcended the Emperor realm.

If a comparison had to be made, he was now on par with the beings who had opened the Ancient Realm.

If he wished, Gu Qingfeng could also create a world comparable to the Ancient Realm.

Of course.

This comparison only referred to size.

To match the Ancient Realm in every aspect was impossible.

There was only one reason for this.

The Ancient Realm today was far different from when it was first created.

Since the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Immortal Realms had shed their blood in the Ancient Realm, it had undergone a transformation to another level.

For Gu Qingfeng to create a world that could match the Ancient Realm in every aspect, he would have to follow the example of those ancient beings, slay an Immortal Realms Heavenly Sovereign, and use their blood and flesh to nurture a new world.

This way.

That world could grow to match the Ancient Realm.

But achieving this was no easy task.

Moreover, creating a world similar to the Ancient Realm held no meaning for Gu Qingfeng.

Then.

He looked at the desolate world.

With the descent of Imperial Blood, the world trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the force, and it began to crumble and disintegrate.

Cracks spread across the earth, volcanoes erupted, and tsunamis surged, while the Dao of the world permeated the sky, filling it with the aura of destruction.

But in the next moment.

Gu Qingfeng pointed, and a terrifying Dao restriction descended, pausing the world’s destruction as if pressing a pause button. All the apocalyptic scenes vanished instantly.

“Using Imperial Blood to nurture a world may not compare to Heavenly Sovereign blood, but given time, this world will give birth to new life, and their achievements will not be insignificant.”

Gu Qingfeng looked at the desolate land, his expression calm.

With Black Abyss the Great Emperor’s fall and Gu Qingfeng’s intervention, the world had fully merged with the Imperial Blood.

When new life was eventually born, it would be infused with a trace of Emperor Blood.

This way.

The talent of the life forms in this world would be stronger than that of ordinary beings.

However.

Truly nurturing new life was not something that could be achieved overnight.

But given time, this world would shine in the universe.

Then.

Gu Qingfeng took a step, and his figure disappeared from the world.

For him.

The true purpose of this journey was to kill Black Abyss the Great Emperor.

Granting the world an opportunity was merely a side effect.

When Gu Qingfeng reappeared, he was in the void of a star system.

Before him.

A black coffin appeared, emitting a terrifying Dao rhythm and an ancient, oppressive aura that spanned ten thousand ages. But this aura did not affect Gu Qingfeng at all.

One man and one coffin.

They hovered strangely in the void.

After a while.

The coffin trembled, and a low, hoarse voice emerged.

“I can promise not to be your enemy in the future. Will you give me a chance?”

“Black Abyss is dead. Before he died, he said he was willing to be my vanguard and fight into the Immortal Realms!”

Gu Qingfeng’s words made the voice inside the Black Coffin fall silent.

Then.

The Dao rhythm trembled, and a terrifying force erupted from the Black Coffin. A corpse covered in black fur and wearing a tattered imperial robe stepped out, its feet causing the ten thousand Dao to wither, and behind it, terrifying Grand Dao Principles stretched across the heavens like an abyss.

“Boom!”

The Black Coffin Emperor attacked without a word, pouring all his strength into the battle, determined to fight Gu Qingfeng to the death.

From Gu Qingfeng’s words, he understood that there was no way out for him today.

So.

The Black Coffin Emperor did not retreat.

However.

Faced with the Black Coffin Emperor’s full attack, Gu Qingfeng merely pointed, and the Dao shattered, sending the other’s body flying.

But then.

The Black Coffin Emperor’s shattered body charged back, his aura growing stronger with each step. When he took the ninth step, all the black fur on his body disappeared.

A majestic and valiant ancient emperor appeared in the Primordial Chaos.

He looked at Gu Qingfeng with no fear, only the most intense battle spirit.

“I never thought this era would see the emergence of a warrior like you. Today, even if I die, I will have no regrets!”

The Black Coffin Emperor let out a long howl, and the ancient emperor’s domineering and heroic spirit was revived in that moment. He summoned the Black Coffin, which carried the force of collapsing heaven and descended upon Gu Qingfeng.

Seeing this.

Gu Qingfeng, who had been standing motionless in the void, finally moved.

He stepped forward, and with a punch from his right hand, the black coffin, which had reached the Imperial Weapon level, exploded. The remaining force struck the Black Coffin Emperor’s body.

“Boom—”

The emperor’s body shattered.

The Black Coffin Emperor’s physical form was instantly obliterated in the Primordial Chaos.

At that moment.

Blood rained down.

A great ancient emperor had fallen. (End of Chapter)
