If this were all, it would not have been enough to shock the Great Dao overlords like Black Mountain Old Monster and beings like Miao Rulai to such an extent.
The real reason was that the countless Fortune Artifacts in the void above were also shaken to the point of successive disintegration, forcing the Great Dao Patriarchs hiding within them to reveal themselves. The moment they appeared, they desperately exerted their full strength to defend their minds and protect their physical bodies.
What kind of power was this!
No one knew.
They only knew that this power swept over them in an instant, overwhelming heaven and earth, as if the Li Palace space was truly exploding.
The problem was that this Li Palace had no space to begin with.
To this day, no one knew exactly what kind of existence the Li Palace was, yet at this very moment, everyone felt the Li Palace space was exploding.
At this moment.
Everyone couldn't help but recall what Lady Wuyue had said earlier—that Gu Qingfeng's fighting spirit had returned, his True Self had awakened, and his physical body had also revived.
Many had long suspected that Gu Qingfeng's physical body was the legendary Indestructible Body.
The Indestructible Body was both a legend, a taboo, and a myth.
No one had ever seen the Indestructible Body, nor did anyone know what kind of legend it truly was.
Since Gu Qingfeng's existence could not be probed by divine sense, everyone could only look with their physical eyes. This one look was startling; whether they were Great Dao Patriarchs or Original Sin Patriarchs, they all gasped in shock, felt their scalps tingle, and stared dumbfounded.
Because they saw that when Gu Qingfeng stretched his arms and lazily stretched his back, all the acupoints on his body opened completely. Each acupoint seemed to form its own world, undergoing infinite transformations within, with heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, resembling primordial chaos. It was profoundly bizarre and terrifying.
Could this be the legendary Indestructible Body?
Had he truly achieved the Indestructible Body?
Had his Indestructible Body truly revived?
Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, no one could provide it.
After stretching, Gu Qingfeng raised his head, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
Simultaneously, the various acupoints all over his body suddenly began to rotate, each like an abyss, also like a black hole.
In an instant, the pervading Original Sin Breath vanished.
Yes.
Vanished. Vanished completely.
It did not disintegrate into ashes.
Nor did it turn into nothingness.
It was devoured by the various acupoints all over Gu Qingfeng's body.
Silence.
A deathly stillness.
No one spoke, no one moved, no one breathed.
An unknown amount of time passed.
When the Li Palace space ceased its shattering and the Original Sin Breath began to recover, the scene remained one of deathly stillness.
The vortex at the very center of the Li Palace was still rotating, emitting a rich, pure Original Sin Breath.
Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
As if nothing had changed.
The difference was.
The previously innumerable Original Sin Dharmakayas had either disintegrated into ashes or vanished into thin air. Those remaining were twisted and blurred, as if they might disappear at any moment.
The countless Fortune Artifacts that had filled the sky earlier had also dissipated and vanished. Those remaining flickered faintly. The Great Dao Patriarchs from the Thirty-Six Cave-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blissful Lands had all manifested, their faces marked by shock, their eyes betraying a kind of panic.
They were like this, and those Patriarchs who had cultivated Original Sin Selves, Original Bodies, or even True Bodies were not much better off. Although they had neither disintegrated nor vanished, each looked rather disheveled, as if they had just survived a life-and-death catastrophe. Their faces alternated between pale and ashen, their minds unsettled, anxious and uneasy, their spirits incredibly tense. They didn't know whether to stand or not stand, to move or not to move.
If everyone had still harbored doubts earlier about whether Gu Qingfeng's physical body was the legendary Indestructible Body, then at this moment, all those doubts vanished completely with this sudden 'Stretching Catastrophe'.
Although.
None of them had ever seen the Indestructible Body.
At this moment, they all clearly knew that what Gu Qingfeng had achieved was indeed the Indestructible Body, and his Indestructible Body had truly revived and awakened.
Although they didn't believe it and could not accept it.
This was a fact, an undeniable fact.
Only.
This fact was simply too cruel, whether for those Patriarchs scheming for the True Lord of Original Sin or for those Patriarchs guarding the Heaven-Earth Great Dao.
They already had no confidence in completely erasing Gu Qingfeng; now, knowing that Gu Qingfeng had also achieved the Indestructible Body, their so-called confidence plummeted into the abyss.
How do you erase an Indestructible Body?
One must know that the Indestructible Body was a mythical taboo.
An eternal myth, an eternal taboo.
An eternal existence—how do you erase it?
Despair!
Profound despair!
This was the feeling of the Great Dao Patriarchs, and also the feeling of the Original Sin Patriarchs.
Now their only hope was that the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Fate was not Gu Qingfeng. If it truly were Gu Qingfeng, then probably no one could stop the fate of this Original Sin Catastrophe. It would certainly unfold as recorded in the Book of Fate: when Original Sin finds its True Lord, the Great Dao will fall, Heaven and Earth will be reborn, and the Daoless Era will begin.
"Comfortable!
Truly so comfortable… I haven't felt this comfortable in a long, long time…" On Solitary Peak.
After stretching, Gu Qingfeng's mood was indescribably joyful.
He wasn't speaking sarcastically; his inner feeling was truly like this.
To put it without exaggeration, in his entire life up to now, he had never felt as relaxed as he did today.
Ever since he embarked on the cultivation path in his youth, major and minor injuries had never ceased. Once he finally recovered, due to various reasons, either his cultivation was crippled or he suffered severe injuries.
Later, when he stepped into the Great Desolation, he had to bear a body full of inexplicable Fortunes. These Fortunes could neither be refined nor shaken off, leaving him anxious and exhausted every day.
After his nirvanic rebirth in the Modern Era, he did enjoy a period of relaxation, but it was only a brief period. Later, after igniting the Original Sin Karmic Fire on the Daoless Mountain and awakening from a ten-thousand-year slumber, his physical body was in chaos, his spirit weary, and he felt listless all day.
Now.
At this very moment.
Gu Qingfeng's spirit was full of vigor, his bearing radiant, his vitality overflowing. He could clearly feel every inch of his skin, every acupoint, every strand of hair, every drop of blood as if filled with infinite power.
Perhaps too overjoyed, Gu Qingfeng opened another jar of fine wine and directly raised his head to drink wildly.
A robe as white as snow, three thousand black locks like ink.
Gu Qingfeng stood atop Solitary Peak, drinking fine wine wildly, exuding a sense of solitary pride, of peerless dominance, of free-spiritedness, and also of untamed wildness.
He drained the entire jar of wine in one go.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, saying, "This old man can be considered a daughter-in-law who endured for years finally becoming a mother-in-law. Pressed down by this damned illusory life for a lifetime, today I've finally turned over. Even though this damned life is about to end, I've ultimately endured and emerged."
"Not bad!
Not bad!
Truly not bad!"
"In that case, Fate hasn't treated this old man too shabbily!
Hahahaha!"
