Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 994 - 984: You’re Not Worthy to Die by My Hand

"Who awakened me?"The voice of the Thunder Ancestor was deep and authoritative, full of pressure, commanding respect without anger.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" The elders of the Thunder Immortal Sect hurried forward to respectfully salute.

Xu Wu also quickly clasped his fists respectfully, saying, "Greetings to the Thunder Ancestor!"

The Grand Elder then respectfully said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, Xu Wu has brought an Ancient Immortal Artifact, requesting that our Thunder Immortal Sect protect his life, and thus we have specially invited the Ancestor to come forward and preside over the situation."

The Thunder Ancestor’s gaze fell upon Xu Wu, showing a hint of surprise, and he quickly said, "Oh? An Ancient Immortal Artifact? Let me see it."

Xu Wu did not dare to be negligent and promptly presented the Ancient Immortal Artifact.

Xu Wu claimed to have obtained it from the Infinite Celestial Tomb, but in fact, it was an Ancient Immortal Artifact given to him by Gu Chenfeng years ago.

"Such a powerful aura." The Thunder Ancestor took the Ancient Immortal Artifact and carefully examined it, revealing a satisfied smile in his eyes.

The Thunder Ancestor joyously laughed, "Not bad, this Ancient Immortal Artifact is not ordinarily powerful; it is stronger than any Ancient Immortal Artifact I have seen."

Seeing the Thunder Ancestor so pleased and happy, the Grand Elder respectfully said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the one who wants to kill Xu Wu is the heir of the Ancient Venerable. He possesses the Mysterious Power of the Ancient Venerable, and though his cultivation is not high, his strength can rival a Demigod Realm expert."

"Oh? The heir of the Ancient Venerable?" The Thunder Ancestor was quite surprised, saying, "Can rival a Demigod Realm expert? The power of the Ancient Venerable is truly extraordinary."

"Honestly, I’m also curious to test just how strong the Ancient Venerable’s power is. The Ancient Venerable once dominated the Immortal Realm; his power must have been terrifying indeed."

While speaking,

a trace of greed flashed subtly in the Thunder Ancestor’s eyes.

Obviously, he was quite interested in Gu Chenfeng’s Mysterious Power.

Seeing the Thunder Ancestor not only unafraid but also rather interested, Xu Wu felt much more at ease.

Xu Wu respectfully said, "If the Thunder Ancestor could kill Gu Chenfeng, the Ancient Venerable’s power would belong to the Thunder Ancestor. By then, the Thunder Ancestor would undoubtedly dominate the Immortal Realm, and ascension would be imminent."

The smile on the old face of the Thunder Ancestor grew wider, and he laughed happily, "Very well, since you are so sincere, I will protect your life."

Xu Wu was overjoyed and quickly bowed in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Thunder Ancestor, this junior is infinitely grateful."

"Where is that boy?" The Thunder Ancestor directly asked, seemingly already eager to obtain Gu Chenfeng’s power.

The more unobtainable something is, the greater its allure to top-tier experts.

Xu Wu respectfully said, "That boy will come to us himself."

"That’s good." The Thunder Ancestor nodded with a smile.

At this moment,

Gu Chenfeng and Kuang Yunshan had already arrived at Immortal Cloud City.

However,

just as Gu Chenfeng and Kuang Yunshan reached the Teleportation Square,

a peculiar, eccentric voice suddenly rang out, "What a small world, you brat, we meet again."

Upon hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Gu Chenfeng turned his head for a quick glance.

The visitor was none other than Han Yun, the Young Master of the Han Family in Immortal Cloud City.

Kuang Yunshan glanced at Han Yun and respectfully asked, "Young Master Feng, is he your enemy?"

Gu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, saying, "A lingering pest."

Han Yun, accompanied by several guards, walked over, and the surrounding people fled in fear.

Han Yun’s arrogance was well-known throughout Immortal Cloud City, and coupled with the Han Family’s immense power, few dared to offend him.

Han Yun approached with arms crossed, a face full of arrogance, saying, "Brat, last time you escaped because Tang Yuyan helped you, but this time you won’t escape."

"Oh, and just so you know, Chief Tang Yuyan is not in Immortal Cloud City now, so don’t vainly hope for anyone to assist you. Today, you will not leave Immortal Cloud City alive."

"Is that so?" A hint of disdain flashed in Gu Chenfeng’s eyes, and a dangerous curve tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Han Yun was merely at the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm; naturally, Gu Chenfeng didn’t regard him as a threat.

"Your gaze makes this Young Master very displeased!" Han Yun snarled, the Immortal Power within him erupting wildly, accompanied by a terrifying killing intent.

Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, "So what?"

"You brat dare to underestimate this Young Master! Today I’ll show you the consequences of being arrogant in front of me!" Han Yun shouted ferociously and immediately summoned a Spirit Sword, ready to unleash his full power.

However,

just as Han Yun was about to assume a battle stance,

"Shadow of Space!" Gu Chenfeng murmured, and his figure mysteriously vanished without a trace.

This miraculous body technique allowed Gu Chenfeng’s speed to reach an astonishing level, appearing almost instantly before Han Yun.

"What?" Han Yun’s pupils suddenly dilated, filled with shock and fear.

Han Yun had not expected Gu Chenfeng’s speed to be so fast, completely exceeding his neurological reflexes.

Before Han Yun could react, Gu Chenfeng had already reached out with his right hand, gripping Han Yun’s face firmly.

Gu Chenfeng’s hand was like an iron clamp, gripping Han Yun tightly, rendering him unable to break free.

"How could he have such terrifying speed? His strength is even above mine!" Han Yun was both shocked and terrified in his heart, unable to believe that Gu Chenfeng possessed such formidable strength.

"Boom!"

"Buzz buzz!"

Without any hesitation, Gu Chenfeng slammed Han Yun hard onto the street, with a resounding crash, the domineering and terrifying force erupted instantly, causing Han Yun to spurt fresh blood.

The street trembled violently, shattering under the impact, with rubble flying everywhere.

Lying on the ground, Han Yun thought with terror, "How is this possible? How could this brat have such powerful strength? At his age, how could he break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?"

Han Yun could not believe that a kid of sixteen or seventeen had a strength surpassing his.

His face was filled with terror and disbelief, never expecting that he would be so vulnerable in front of Gu Chenfeng.

Regret flooded Han Yun’s heart, regretting that he had ever provoked Gu Chenfeng.

Now look what happened.

Retribution came swiftly.

Gu Chenfeng stood over Han Yun, his gaze filled with indifference.

"Is this your strength? Too weak." Gu Chenfeng’s voice was icy and merciless, dealing a severe blow to Han Yun.

Han Yun tried to struggle to stand, but his body was suppressed by Gu Chenfeng’s strength, making it impossible to move.

Gu Chenfeng lifted Han Yun, holding him high, and sneered coldly, "With your measly strength, you want to kill me? Not even your Patriarch could kill me."

"Scram, you’re not worthy to die by my hand."

With those words,

Gu Chenfeng tossed Han Yun aside, just like throwing away trash.

Gu Chenfeng paid no more attention to Han Yun, turning instead to Kuang Yunshan with a gentle smile, "Let’s go."

Gu Chenfeng’s voice was calm and determined, as if the previous battle was merely a trivial affair.
