The more Gu Qingfeng sensed it, the more terrifying this Great Spirit Might felt. The more he perceived it, the more horrifying it became!
At this moment, his mind was already trembling violently under the crushing pressure of this spiritual force. Even the Asura of Avici Hell slumbering within his body seemed to have been disturbed, stirring restlessly.
Suddenly.
Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes. His originally dark and tranquil eyes had unknowingly turned violent and roaring, like a calm sea suddenly struck by a tsunami. And this tsunami was none other than flames—violet-azure flames!
The moment Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, his Great Spirit Might instantly erupted, flooding Heaven and Earth in an instant.
The violet-azure flames were both solitary and aloof, saturating the sky and the land.
He remained silent. The violet-azure flames instantly turned ashen-white, appearing both frenzied and ferocious, scorching Heaven and Earth.
Immediately after, the ashen-white flames transformed into dark Nether Flames, domineering and disdainful, devouring Heaven and Earth.
Whoosh!
The dark Nether Flames changed again, becoming turbid Nether Flames. These flames were filled with Death.
Yes!
Death.
As the turbid Nether Flames blazed forth, the Azure Heaven scattered like ashes, the Great Earth drifted like desert sand, and all things between Heaven and Earth turned to dust.
Death. The aura of Death was everywhere.
Boom! Crash!
Lightning!
Turbid lightning. The sky was filled with endless turbid lightning.
The Great Spirit Might that destroyed everything suddenly grew stronger. The Azure Heaven collapsed once more, the Great Earth cracked apart, and the sky was filled with nothing but destruction.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng still did not move. He stood with his hands behind his back, his long hair flying, his sleeves dancing wildly. When he closed his eyes, the turbid Nether Flames also intensified. The Azure Heaven, the Great Earth, all things were turning to dust.
Flames burned. Lightning crackled.
The flames were turbid flames, representing Death.
The lightning was turbid lightning, representing destruction.
Flames against lightning. Death against destruction.
The opponent's Great Spirit Might plunged Heaven and Earth into endless destruction.
While Gu Qingfeng's Great Spirit Might plunged Heaven and Earth into endless Death.
Flames burned. Lightning roared.
Death spread. Destruction devoured.
Like doomsday, like a cataclysm, like the twilight of the gods.
No one knew how much time passed. The Azure Heaven vanished without a trace, the Great Earth turned to dust...
Everything... everything disappeared...
There was no Azure Heaven, no Great Earth.
Only endless lightning wreaking destruction, only endless flames bringing Death.
Destruction was like the sun, like the great sun.
Death was like the moon, like the bright moon.
One moved, one was still.
Gu Qingfeng stood, remained standing. From beginning to end, he had not moved. Only his long hair flew, only his sleeves danced wildly. His expression was that aloof expression, his aura was that domineering aura. When he opened his eyes, they were those disdainful eyes.
Opposite him, a person had inexplicably appeared at some unknown time.
Perhaps it was a person.
It was unclear.
His entire body was tightly wrapped in layers of white cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes. They were terrifyingly dreadful eyes, exceptionally turbid, with a gaze so horrifying it seemed a single glance could destroy Heaven and Earth.
Gu Qingfeng looked at him.
He could only look.
Because he could not sense this person's presence at all, nor could he probe him. He could only see this figure wrapped entirely in white cloth.
But one thing he was absolutely certain of: the mysterious Divine Sense from before belonged to this person. The Great Spirit Might that destroyed everything just now also belonged to this person.
Beyond that, he knew nothing.
He stared. The other party also stared.
The two of them gazed at each other like this, neither speaking.
Time passed bit by bit. The other party's figure grew increasingly blurry until it finally dissipated and vanished. The Great Spirit Might that destroyed everything also disappeared along with it.
At the same time, Gu Qingfeng's Nether Flames that burned everything and spread Death also vanished.
Everything... everything returned to normal.
The Azure Heaven remained. The Great Earth remained.
The Heavenly Might was still enraged, the astral winds still roared.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Who was this person?
What did he want?
Gu Qingfeng knew none of it.
He only knew this person was terrifying, perhaps even more terrifying than he could possibly imagine. This feeling was something he had never experienced, even when facing the judgment of the various Great Daos in the past.
Why had he sought him out?
An old grudge?
Gu Qingfeng thought carefully. In his memory, he had never provoked such a terrifying being.
An immortal? A demon?
A monster? A Buddha?
A ghost? A fiend?
Which throne?
Which great emperor?
Or perhaps a Great Dao Sovereign?
A Law Creator?
No!
None of them were possible.
Whether immortal, demon, monster, Buddha, ghost, or fiend; whether throne, great emperor, Great Dao Sovereign, or Law Creator—Gu Qingfeng had dealt with them all and was very familiar with their characteristics. Only that person just now... he simply couldn't figure it out. Why couldn't he even sense him?
Especially those terrifying eyes.
When Gu Qingfeng met his gaze, he always felt a very peculiar sensation, as if he had seen them before.
But upon careful reflection, he couldn't recall any impression of acquaintance, not even the slightest bit.
After the Great Cataclysm, Heaven and Earth were reborn, all things revived.
Could it be some great power from an era that had awakened?
After pondering for a moment, Gu Qingfeng shook his head. He truly couldn't figure it out.
Between Heaven and Earth, there were endless mysteries and unknowns. No one knew how many terrifying existences were hidden in the distant past.
After thinking about it for a while, he then left.
Although he didn't know who the other party was or what his purpose was, Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to dwell on the issue. Between Heaven and Earth, there were plenty of mysterious and unknown great powers. Those who wanted him dead were also too numerous to count. As the saying goes, with too many lice, one doesn't itch; with too many debts, one doesn't worry. He never let such trivial matters trouble him. When soldiers come, use a general to block them; when water comes, use earth to dam it. Live one day at a time, and never mind whether tomorrow is square or round.
By the time he returned to the manor, it was already noon the next day.
Ouyang Ye, for her part, had not been idle. She served him good food and drink and warmly invited Gu Qingfeng to stay at the manor.
Gu Qingfeng, naturally, did not stand on ceremony and took up residence at the manor.
The reason he had proposed the condition of good food and drink wasn't because he was bored out of his mind or deliberately teasing the little girl. It was purely out of concern that the girl might run into trouble while refining the Cloud-Color Sword.
That Cloud-Color Sword was no ordinary treasure. At the very least, it wasn't something just anyone could refine. With the little girl's current cultivation level, if she attempted to refine it blindly, even though she possessed the Great Nature's Everlasting Protection and wouldn't lose her life, it would absolutely be enough to give her a hard time.
Gu Qingfeng had a favorable impression of Ouyang Ye. Moreover, in a sense, the little girl was also the reincarnation of Yun Nishang. Of course, he wouldn't stand idly by. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her the Cloud-Color Sword in the first place.
Several days passed like this. Every day, Gu Qingfeng did nothing but sleep and eat, either basking in the sun or drinking wine. His days couldn't have been more carefree. While the little girl was comprehending the mysteries of the Cloud-Color Sword, he would also offer her a few pointers in secret.
