Here.
Gu Qingfeng stood in the dark void, his hands clasped behind his back. His deep, shadowy eyes swept over the representatives of the various major powers present, finally landing on Lord Saint Yang.
When the already terrified Lord Saint Yang met Gu Qingfeng's gaze, it was as if he had been stared down by the eyes of death itself. His face drained of all color, turning deathly pale. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, so much so that he could barely stand. Even his soul felt as if it had plummeted into an endless, dark abyss of hell.
"I said your life is mine to take."
As Gu Qingfeng's voice rang out, Lord Saint Yang could no longer hold on. He collapsed right there in mid-air. He instinctively wanted to struggle, but his spirit had long since shattered, his mind a tangled mess, unable to focus. The profound Immortal Power within his body ran amok uncontrollably. His soul felt as if it had been lost, his physical body trembling incessantly. Even the two Law Command Tokens in his hands slipped from his grasp and fell.
"S-save me..." Lord Saint Yang forced out a sharp, hoarse cry for help, enduring the fear in his heart.
But.
Who dared to save him?
Not even his disciples and old subordinates, let alone the Jade Toad Immortal King and the Morning Sun Star Lord standing beside him, dared to intervene.
Yes.
They did not dare.
Although they were Great Dao Heavenly Destinies, possessing Great Dao Physiques, the power of Laws, and the protection of their Heavenly Destinies.
That meant nothing.
At least.
In Gu Qingfeng's eyes, it counted for nothing.
Because they all knew that Gu Qingfeng had killed Great Dao Heavenly Destinies before, and not just one. Not only had he killed them, he had seized their Heavenly Destinies. His Immortal-Demon Peerless Throne, even the Nine Nethers Emperor's Heavenly Destiny itself, had been snatched by force. Therefore, they absolutely did not dare to gamble their own Great Dao Heavenly Destinies against Gu Qingfeng's audacity.
"North Altar Immortal King...
Save me!
Save me!" Lord Saint Yang cried out to the North Altar Immortal King.
But the North Altar Immortal King's face was also ashen. Faced with Lord Saint Yang's pleas, he did not dare to respond in any way.
"Esteemed ones of Dan Ding Valley...
Ancestors...
You...
said...
you would protect me...
Save me...
Save me!
!"
No one answered Lord Saint Yang. Not a single soul.
And across from him, Gu Qingfeng simply stood there quietly, watching, waiting, letting Lord Saint Yang continue his desperate pleas.
"Save me!
Save me!" Lord Saint Yang screamed and shouted like a madman, begging for salvation. Yet, no matter who he turned to, no one paid him any heed.
This plunged Lord Saint Yang into utter despair.
"Lady Qianqiu!
Lady Ruyi...
You...
are both Ladies of the Immortal Dao. You cannot stand by and watch me die! Save me!
! I cannot die, I don't want to die!
!"
Lord Saint Yang then turned his pleas to Nalan Qianqiu and Mo Ruyi.
However.
Although Nalan Qianqiu was a Lady of the Immortal Dao, and Mo Ruyi, holding the Great Sun Radiance Command, was an emissary of the Immortal Dao, they too did not dare to save someone Gu Qingfeng had marked for death.
"Great Sun...
Great Sun Radiance...
Nine Heavens Immortal Dao...
I am the Heavenly Domain Administrator you personally appointed, the Immortal Dao Sovereign you enfeoffed. Save me...
I have always been loyal to the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao. Save me...
Save me..." It was useless.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Dao gave no response whatsoever.
At that moment.
Gu Qingfeng, who had remained silent all this while, finally spoke again: "You, is there anyone else you wish to beg for help?"
"I..." This time, Lord Saint Yang was completely and utterly despaired.
"If not, then prepare to die."
As his words fell.
Lord Saint Yang's body suddenly stiffened, then transformed into a cloud of blood mist, utterly annihilated.
His physical body was gone.
His soul was gone too.
Dead without reincarnation, without any chance of rebirth.
Utterly extinguished.
Completely and utterly extinguished.
Right in front of a group of Great Dao Heavenly Destinies, in front of the various Ancestors, in front of the two Immortal Dao representatives Nalan Qianqiu and Mo Ruyi, in front of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao itself, and in front of everyone present, Gu Qingfeng had mercilessly erased Lord Saint Yang, a Heavenly Domain Administrator.
On Blackwater Mountain.
Watching this scene, the Old Beggar sighed in admiration. "This old man always thought he was someone who'd seen the world. Today, I've learned that I was just a self-important frog at the bottom of a well. This has truly been an eye-opening experience, broadening my horizons."
As he spoke, the Old Beggar continued with feeling, "It's not that I haven't seen arrogant fellows before, but this is the first time I've seen one as brazen as this kid. He's not just recklessly arrogant, he's utterly lawless!"
"Killing is one thing, but he actually let the guy beg for help. After the begging was done, he asked if there was anyone else he wanted to beg. He kept at it until the other had no one left to beg, no one left to save him. He made sure the other died in despair, made him understand one thing even in death: when he wants someone dead, not even the King of Heaven himself would dare to save them."
"And what's more...
he did it right in front of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, erasing a Heavenly Domain Administrator they had enfeoffed...
Isn't that just too arrogant?!
He's arrogant beyond all bounds."
"I have to say, this kid is definitely the most brazen, most insolent fellow this old man has ever seen in his life. To be able to be this damn arrogant, he's probably the first of his kind throughout history. Even those old madmen like Chiyou and Xingtian back in the day weren't this crazy, were they?"
Beside him, Lady Blackwater remarked indifferently, "It's nothing more than a minor Heavenly Domain Administrator. No one cares about his life or death. The Nine Heavens Immortal Dao cares even less."
"That depends on the situation," the Old Beggar said. "Normally, killing a Heavenly Domain Administrator isn't a big deal. But today, this kid just killed one right in front of the myriad worlds. Isn't that a blatant slap in the face of the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao?"
"Does the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao even have a face left?" Lady Blackwater laughed. "If they do, my Brother Nether Emperor will beat it swollen today!"
"That's not necessarily true."
The Old Beggar shook his head. "As you said, a Heavenly Domain Administrator is nothing to the Nine Heavens. However...
besides the Heavenly Domain Administrator, there are also quite a few Great Dao Heavenly Destinies here. The Nine Heavens cannot possibly be indifferent to them."
Speaking of Great Dao Heavenly Destinies, the Old Beggar also smiled. "Speaking of which, these Ancestors of the major powers from the Great Wastelands are truly cunning old foxes. Having these Great Dao Heavenly Destinies act as representatives is clearly using them as stakes, trying to checkmate the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao. No!
They're not just checking the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao, but also the true overlord of the Great Wastelands—Heavenly Dao itself."
"Tell me..." The Old Beggar turned and stared at Lady Blackwater. "Does this kid dare to kill these Great Dao Heavenly Destinies?"
"Old Beggar, I've told you, you really should take some time to learn about my Brother Nether Emperor's past deeds."
"Why do you always say that? What do you mean?"
As if realizing something, the Old Beggar said with some disbelief, "Are you saying he really has the guts to kill a Great Dao Heavenly Destiny?"
"If you had learned about my Brother Nether Emperor's past deeds, you wouldn't be asking this question."
"Why?"
"Because your humble sister once spent a long time studying Brother Nether Emperor's history, and then summed it up in one sentence."
"What sentence?"
"The sentence is: In his life, there is only 'want to' or 'not want to'. There has never been 'dare to' or 'dare not to'."
