"Junior!
You are quite arrogant!"
The Old Senior, his body wreathed in Turbid Breath, seemed quite wary of Gu Qingfeng's presence. "However, I have no desire to spar with you today."
Gu Qingfeng replied with a teasing smile, "What if I insist on sparring with you today, old man?"
The situation was somewhat comical, as earlier, it was this same Old Senior who had uttered similar words to Gu Qingfeng. As the old man was pondering, the situation suddenly changed. Gu Qingfeng's figure vanished in an instant, reappearing right in front of him. He raised his hand and brought a palm down towards the Old Senior's head.
This palm strike was light and airy, not resembling a fight, but more like a casual, friendly pat on the shoulder between comrades.
Yet, when Gu Qingfeng's palm descended, the Old Senior instantly felt as if Mount Tai was crushing down upon him. He intended to dodge, but for some reason, felt there was nowhere to escape. With no time for further thought and not daring to be negligent, he swung both arms up forcefully to block Gu Qingfeng's palm.
BOOM!
CRACK!
The collision of two violent forces erupted with a powerful shockwave, instantly cracking the surrounding Void with numerous fissures.
"Well, well! Old Senior, your bones are quite sturdy!" Gu Qingfeng's laughter rang out.
The Old Senior, his throat constricted, growled deeply, "Junior, what exactly are you? How can the power of your Physical Body be so terrifying?"
"Terrifying?
Let's continue."
As his words fell, Gu Qingfeng suddenly exerted force. A sharp *crack* sound echoed, causing the Old Senior to grunt as his body was forced downward.
"Junior!
Do you truly think I fear you?!"
Whoosh!
Brilliant light flashed around the Old Senior as a vast, surging power erupted. Simultaneously, Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Get down!"
With that.
Gu Qingfeng's hand, still pressed against the Old Senior's head, exerted force once more. A thunderous roar echoed as the Old Senior was sent plummeting downwards by that single palm strike.
"Old Senior, if you don't start showing some real skill, don't blame this junior for being impolite."
Gu Qingfeng could see that this old fellow hadn't used his full strength, not even one-third of his power. But this was within expectations. These old-timers, each having lived who-knows-how-many years, were all shrewd veterans. In a fight, they would never reveal their true strength, holding back until they saw the rabbit—only releasing the eagle when they spotted an opportunity for a single, decisive kill.
The Old Senior who had fallen did not leave but retreated to a distance, staring at Gu Qingfeng with extreme caution.
As the saying goes, an expert reveals their caliber with a single move.
Every one of the thirty-plus shadowy figures present was a master in their previous life. Yet, facing Gu Qingfeng here, none of them could make heads or tails of him. They stared at him, their apprehension and confusion growing with each passing moment. No one could understand, nor figure out, why Gu Qingfeng's Physical Body, devoid of any obvious Creation, could be so formidably powerful.
"Just what are you?"
Another voice questioned.
"I am a God!"
Gu Qingfeng turned to look, raised his arm, and pointed a finger. *Bang!* The Void around that person violently exploded. The target reacted swiftly, light flashing around him as he defended immediately. At that moment, Gu Qingfeng leaped up, his feet landing directly on the other's shoulders.
"The rest of you, don't just watch! Come join the fun!"
Gu Qingfeng shook his body, and with a tremor—Whoosh!
The Void within a radius of ten thousand meters trembled violently before shattering. *Bang! Bang! Bang!*
One hole after another exploded open.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
The thirty-plus shadowy figures all mobilized their power to defend.
"Well, well! Seems if I don't get serious with you, you'll really think I'm playing house with you!"
Gu Qingfeng, standing on one person's shoulders, suddenly began to spin. As he spun, the Void continuously shattered, cracking open fissures and holes, scattering countless fragments of Void. These fragments also began to spin along with Gu Qingfeng's rotation, transforming in an instant into a vortex. The vortex whirled madly, countless Void fragments whistling within it like innumerable blades.
Shattering the Void was not a rare feat.
At least, for the thirty-plus people present, it wasn't. Every one of them could do it.
The Void was the Void, a space of nothingness, part of the Great Natural Order.
Shattering the Void meant shattering the Great Natural Order.
Shattering the Void with the power of a Physical Body was also not rare; many among them could achieve it.
But to speak of *shattering* the Void with Physical Body power—none of them could do that.
That's right!
Shattering the Void.
Gu Qingfeng was currently shattering the Void. Not only was he shattering it, he was actually harnessing the shattered Void for his own use. They had never seen such an unbelievable and terrifying method. What horrified them even more was that Gu Qingfeng's Physical Body wasn't any kind of Creation Body, not even an Immortal or Demon Body. They simply couldn't fathom what kind of Physical Body possessed such terrifying power.
Fathom it or not, their purpose in coming here was to probe what kind of existence Gu Qingfeng truly was. Originally, each harbored their own thoughts, none wanting to be the first to make a move for fear of exposing their true strength. But now that Gu Qingfeng was provoking everyone with his grand Void technique, they hesitated no longer and all took action.
Battle erupted instantly.
Gu Qingfeng, alone, took on the thirty-plus masters present.
It must be said, these thirty-plus individuals were indeed masters. Each move, each style, was ever-changing. Every variation contained Great Profound Mysteries, every transformation a Great Supernatural Ability. A single palm strike unleashed thousands of Supernatural Abilities; a single fist contained tens of thousands of Profound Mysteries.
For a time, the sky was filled with Supernatural Abilities and Profound Mysteries—like Primordial savage beasts, like heavenly thunderclaps, like the Supreme Ultimate and its Two Forms, like Yin-Yang and the Eight Trigrams, like wind traversing the Nine Palaces, and also like layer upon layer mountain ranges, layer upon layer icy rivers. It was truly a dazzling spectacle.
"Hahaha!
Good!
Comfortable!
Truly comfortable!"
Gu Qingfeng strolled as if amidst a meteor shower, striding dominantly as if amidst heaven's collapse and earth's rending, wandering as if amidst the world's doomsday. While enduring the opponents' Great Immortal Arts and Great Supernatural Abilities, he laughed heartily, his laughter wild and uninhibited, remarkably free and fearless. "It's been a damn long time since I've fought so exhilarating!"
Gu Qingfeng's attacks were purely hand-to-hand combat—no Great Immortal Arts, no Great Supernatural Abilities, just simple, pure punches and kicks. Yet they seemed to contain inexhaustible, boundless power. No matter how profound the opponent's Immortal Art, no matter how powerful their Supernatural Ability, without exception, they were all forcefully shattered by a single fist from him!
Every punch he unleashed was as if cleaving heaven and earth apart, the Void shattering and shattered.
The Void was the Great Natural Order Void. The Great Natural Order was hailed as the source of all things, the mother of all things. When the Void shattered, it would restore to its original state in an instant. But as Gu Qingfeng unleashed punch after punch, the speed at which the Great Natural Order Void recovered could not keep up with the speed of his destruction.
From the moment he began his attacks, the Void above the Cloud Sea had remained in a state of continuous shattering and shattered.
And the thirty-plus masters within the fray grew more and more terrified, more and more afraid, more and more feeling a sense of horror. By the later stages, they were all starting to feel their scalps go numb.
