"It seems all you ladies can't wait for me to Let Go of Myself!"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes as he swept his gaze over the Empresses, a self-deprecating smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "Fine! It seems I was just being sentimental."
With that, Gu Qingfeng turned his gaze to the distant Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs and asked, "What about you lot? Are you also like these ladies, eagerly waiting for me to Let Go of Myself?"
No one knew why Gu Qingfeng, who was in the midst of Letting Go of Himself, would suddenly emerge and spout such a string of bewildering words.
The Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs present were even more clueless. Faced with Gu Qingfeng's inquiry, they looked at each other, exchanging glances, but none responded. They didn't understand what Gu Qingfeng meant by this question.
"I imagine none of you want me to Let Go of Myself, otherwise you wouldn't have mobilized such a grand force to attack earlier."
"It's precisely because you bastards kept causing trouble again and again that my mind has been unsettled. Forget Letting Go of Myself, my consciousness nearly descended into madness and was lost."
"I originally thought you'd just put on a show and then retreat, knowing the Empresses were here. Clearly, I was wrong. I underestimated the obsession in your hearts. So, I had no choice but to pause Letting Go of Myself."
"Now I'm here. Didn't you want to stop me from Letting Go of Myself? Then come at me directly and kill me."
"Don't worry, no one will stop you this time."
What was going on?
Had Gu Qingfeng deliberately paused Letting Go of Himself just to let these Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs strike him down?
Yes.
At least, that's how it appeared.
Every single Original Sin Ancestral Patriarch present, facing Gu Qingfeng in this state, made no move to attack.
It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they didn't dare.
They had dared to attack earlier because Gu Qingfeng was in the process of Letting Go of Himself, akin to being in a deep slumber. Even if they attacked, Gu Qingfeng couldn't break away to deal with them. That was why they had dared to act.
But now that Gu Qingfeng had paused Letting Go of Himself and was awake, they naturally didn't dare to make a move.
Although they had all witnessed with their own eyes that Gu Qingfeng had already let go of the Nine Forbidden Great Daos and the Divine Sense Demonic Wills of the Three Nether Lords, logically speaking, having lost the Nine Forbidden Great Daos and the Divine Sense Demonic Wills of the Three Nether Lords, Gu Qingfeng should be like a tiger without fangs, posing little threat.
The problem was, Gu Qingfeng didn't just possess the Nine Forbidden Great Daos or merely the Divine Sense Demonic Wills of the Three Nether Lords; he also had the Divine Sense Demonic Will of an Ancient clansman.
Whether Gu Qingfeng had let go of the Divine Sense Demonic Will of the Ancient clansman, no one knew.
Even if Gu Qingfeng had let go of the Divine Sense Demonic Will of the Ancient clansman, his physical body had achieved the eternal myth of Form Unscattered, Spirit Undecaying.
Who could possibly shatter an eternal myth?
The answer was certain.
No one could shatter it.
If an eternal myth could be shattered, then eternity would not be a myth.
"Since you won't make a move, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
As his words fell, Gu Qingfeng, who was as ethereal and elusive as a wandering ghost, suddenly vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed. Yet, at the very moment he disappeared, his figure reappeared amidst the crowd of Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs. With a simple raise and fall of his hand, a loud *bang* echoed, and an Original Sin Ancestral Patriarch instantly Turned to Dust and Smoke.
*Bang!*
An Ancestral Patriarch who had cultivated an Original Sin True Body Turned to Dust and Smoke!
*Bang!*
An Ancestral Patriarch who had cultivated an Original Sin Essence Body Turned to Dust and Smoke!
*Bang!*
An Ancestral Patriarch who had fused with Original Sin Blood Turned to Dust and Smoke!
*Bang!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs were slaughtered by Gu Qingfeng.
This scene unfolded far too quickly, so fast that no one could react. By the time the Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs regained their senses, it was already too late. One after another, Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs fell victim to Gu Qingfeng's slaughter.
Facing Gu Qingfeng, they had no chance to fight back, not even an opportunity to flee. Whether they were Ancestral Patriarchs who had cultivated Original Sin Bodies, fused with Original Sin Blood, or integrated Original Sin Essence, before Gu Qingfeng, they were as insignificant as ants, utterly no match at all.
*Boom!*
The Void began to change. Surging Original Sin Power transformed into myriad Supernatural Abilities and techniques, assaulting Gu Qingfeng.
To the astonishment of all, when these powerful Supernatural Abilities struck Gu Qingfeng...
Nothing happened.
One, two...
A hundred, a thousand!
No matter how powerful, how profound, or how terrifying the Supernatural Abilities were, when they struck Gu Qingfeng, they would inexplicably pass right through his body as if through air, as if the Gu Qingfeng present here was truly just an ethereal shadow.
No!
Even if it were just an ethereal shadow, being passed through by Supernatural Abilities should cause it to disperse, right?
If not disperse, then at least ripple, right?
If not ripple, then at least distort or blur, right?
At the very least, it should be affected in some way, right?
Yet, as the assembled Ancestral Patriarchs watched Supernatural Ability after Supernatural Ability strike Gu Qingfeng, his ethereal figure showed no signs of dispersing, no rippling, no distortion or blurring—not even the slightest influence.
It felt as if the Gu Qingfeng present here simply did not exist at all.
Why was this?
Could this be the eternal myth of Form Unscattered, Spirit Undecaying?
Unknown.
No one had ever seen an eternal myth.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
The slaughter never ceased!
Nor would it cease!
Wherever Gu Qingfeng went, those Original Sin Ancestral Patriarchs shattered like bubbles upon contact. None could withstand him, none could match him.
"Ancestor Xuanming, if I remember correctly, you were the loudest when the fighting started, weren't you?! Come here and accept your death!"
Gu Qingfeng roared angrily, raising his hand and striking out with a palm that seemed capable of shattering the heavens. The Void itself shattered open, and Ancestor Xuanming's true body plummeted from the Void.
He looked utterly disheveled, his face ashen, blood streaming from all seven orifices, his soul frightened out of him. As he fell, he didn't dare hesitate for even a moment, attempting to flee using a blood escape technique.
But it was already too late.
Just as he plummeted from the Void, Gu Qingfeng's figure had already appeared beside him. Hand raised, palm fell.
With a *bang*, Ancestor Xuanming instantly Turned to Dust and Smoke.
"And you! Ancestor Green Robe!"
Gu Qingfeng took a single step, his figure vanishing from his original spot and appearing beside Ancestor Green Robe. Again, hand raised, palm fell, striking down on Ancestor Green Robe's head. With a *bang*, Ancestor Green Robe didn't even have time to grunt before he Turned to Dust and Smoke.
"Your external incarnations are no exception either! Come out and accept your death!"
As the word 'death' fell, eighteen external incarnations of Ancestor Green Robe that had been lying dormant in the Void plummeted down. Gu Qingfeng didn't even spare them a glance, simply sweeping his hand and shouting, "All of you, be destroyed!"
No brilliant light flashed, no explosive force erupted. Only a series of crackling sounds echoed through the Void, and Ancestor Green Robe's eighteen external incarnations Turned to Dust and Smoke.
