Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 997 - 987: Gu Chenfeng Battles Thunder Ancestor (Part 1)

"Hmph, you’ve got some skill."Seeing Gu Chenfeng easily fend off the thunder power, Thunder Elder snorted coldly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, though it was merely that—just surprise.

"Let’s see how you handle this." Thunder Elder said viciously, lightly tapping his staff on the void beneath his feet.

In the instant the staff tapped down, thick bolts of lightning began spiraling around Thunder Elder, emitting terrifying crackling sounds.

At the same time.

"Boom!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, lightning and thunder flashing, saturated with an extremely frightening thunder power, the space trembling violently, as if the apocalypse was about to arrive.

The next second.

Dozens of terrifying bolts of lightning poured down with world-destroying momentum, the scene akin to the apocalypse’s judgment, immensely impactful to the eyes.

Each bolt contained incredibly terrifying power, enough to instantly eradicate an early stage demigod.

Faced with such terrifying thunder power, Gu Chenfeng remained fearless, thinking to himself, "With my current divine power, I can counteract the late stage of demigod powers."

With this thought.

Gu Chenfeng fully activated the Devouring Power.

He pushed upward with his right hand, his palm suddenly curving into claws, causing a massive golden vortex to appear in the void above.

The vortex spun exceedingly fast, generating formidable, terrifying suction.

"Devouring power?" Thunder Elder furrowed his aged brows, his old face growing more solemn.

"Devour!" Gu Chenfeng uttered softly, as the enormous vortex burst forth with even more terrifying devouring force.

In Thunder Immortal Sect’s attendees’ shock and horror, dozens of terrifying bolts of lightning were engulfed by the immense vortex.

Gu Chenfeng’s body swelled as a result.

Upon seeing this.

Thunder Elder was quite shocked, thinking to himself, "He actually can devour such powerful thunder power."

Thunder Elder never anticipated that Gu Chenfeng had such horrifying devouring power, effortlessly nullifying his attack.

"Elder’s thunder power got entirely devoured by him!" The Grand Elder exclaimed in shock, fully riddled with disbelief.

"Elder is in the late stage demigod, after all." The Second Elder expressed utter terror, "How could this kid easily devour Elder’s thunder power?"

The numerous elders and disciples also had faces marked with shock and horror, now dumbstruck, their bodies motionless.

Before long.

The terrifying thunder power, transformed by the Devouring Power, became pure power for Gu Chenfeng to absorb.

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, causing the massive vortex to vanish.

Gazing at Thunder Elder, Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, "Thunder Elder, spare us these little tricks, don’t waste everyone’s time."

"Kid, you indeed have some skills. Since you’re so eager to die, this Elder shall grant your wish now." Thunder Elder angrily retorted, his old eyes flashing with a fierce killing intent.

At this moment.

Thunder Elder felt a surge of complex emotions.

He looked at the young Gu Chenfeng, both shocked and furious.

Shocked that this young man possessed such tremendous power to withstand his attacks.

Furious that as the Thunder Immortal Sect’s elder, a late stage demigod powerhouse, he was repeatedly thwarted by a junior.

"Could the Ancient Venerable’s strength truly be so horrifying?" A wave of unease surged in Thunder Elder’s heart.

He yearned for the Ancient Venerable’s power, originally thinking he could easily defeat Gu Chenfeng, captivate his power, thus reigning over the Immortal Realm.

But now it seemed, such notions were overly naive.

The power Gu Chenfeng exhibited far exceeded his predictions, subjecting him to unprecedented pressure.

However.

The more terrifying strength Gu Chenfeng displayed, the stronger Thunder Elder’s desire to kill became.

Such a fearful prodigy mustn’t mature, lest he becomes Thunder Immortal Sect’s nightmare in the future.

"Buzz!"

Thunder Elder summoned even more terrifying power, his imposing momentum surging again, an unparalleled terrifying force sweeping out with overwhelming might.

"Immortal Technique! Annihilation Heaven Punishment!" Thunder Elder suddenly shouted, lifting his staff skyward, a terrifying bolt of lightning shot upward, forming a massive vortex of dark clouds spanning tens of thousands of feet in the void.

The vortex flashed with countless thick lightning bolts, emanating an aura of annihilation.

Gu Chenfeng remained calm and unfazed, witnessing the terrifying lightning within the vortex.

"Come, show me how strong your utmost blow is, hopefully you won’t disappoint me." Gu Chenfeng coldly declared, immediately reaching out to summon the Emperor’s Soul Sword which flashed into existence.

Once the Emperor’s Soul Sword emerged, Gu Chenfeng’s aura surged once more.

Thunder Elder’s old face grew immensely grim as he shouted, "Arrogant brat! Taste your demise!"

Upon finishing his words.

Thunder Elder directed the staff towards Gu Chenfeng, the thunder power in the vortex of dark clouds maddeningly surged, subsequently more terrifying bolts of lightning fiercely slashed towards Gu Chenfeng.

Witnessing the bolts fiercely approaching, Gu Chenfeng injected Ancient Divine Power into the Emperor’s Soul Sword, then coldly shouted, "Annihilation Heaven Slayer!"

As his shout fell.

Gu Chenfeng wielded the sword fiercely downward, an extremely terrifying golden sword aura akin to a crescent moon slashed out, carrying a momentum of destroying worlds.

"The Sword Technique’s momentum is incredibly domineering, the Sword Aura Power is extremely terrifying." Thunder Elder furrowed his brows solemnly, stating, "He’s wielding an Ancient Immortal Sword!"

The observing elders and disciples were already rendered speechless, even holding their breath.

The kind of fear seemed to emanate from the soul’s depths, leaving them helpless against it.

"Boom!"

"Buzz!"

The domineering golden sword aura collided fiercely with the terrifying bolts of lightning, detonating upon impact with deafening blasts, the explosive energy terrifyingly swept across.

Witnessing the terrifying explosive energy rapidly blasting forth, Thunder Elder’s expression drastically shifted.

In an instant.

Gu Chenfeng and Thunder Elder were both engulfed by the explosive energy.

"Devour!" Gu Chenfeng once more activated Devouring Power, frantically absorbing the horrifying explosive energy.

Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation broke into the Immortal Emperor Realm, Ancient Divine Power had become extremely terrifying, he was utterly unafraid of the explosive energy breaching Divine Power’s protection.

"Immortal Power Protection!" Thunder Elder shouted, instantly forming an energy shield.

Yet.

Even with the energy shield, facing such terrifying explosive energy, Thunder Elder was injured nonetheless.

A trace of blood lingered at Thunder Elder’s lips.

"How is this possible? This Elder’s Immortal Technique failed against his Immortal Technique!" Thunder Elder’s eyes widened, shocked and incredulous.

"Gasp!"

Seeing this scene, the spectators once more sharply inhaled, each with wide-open eyes.

Even with witnessing it firsthand, they dared not believe that the terrifyingly powerful Thunder Elder had no means to suppress a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.

Who exactly is this boy?

Why does he possess such terrifying power?
