Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"The Netherworld Immortal Grass is on that mountain ahead."

The man in white led the way, turning back to remind them, "Everyone, be careful. The poison here is extremely terrifying, and even I dare not touch it recklessly."

"Moreover, there are poisonous insects on the mountain. Although they aren't strong, they are extremely poisonous. Even an Immortal Emperor would surely die if contaminated."

"An Immortal Emperor would surely die if contaminated?" Flame Shadow shuddered in fear.

The man in white continued, "The mists of Nether Immortal Valley can hide one's presence well, and even I can't sense the presence of the poisonous insects."

At this moment.

Before Gu Chenfeng and the others could reach the mountain peak, the ground suddenly started shaking violently.

"What's happening?" Flame Shadow asked in horror.

They saw giant poisonous insects burrowing out from the mountainside, launching an attack on them.

The Nether Beast exclaimed in shock, "Those are poisonous insects!"

Gu Chenfeng showed no fear, a flash of light in his hand revealing a long sword, poised to slash each poisonous insect.

The man in white quickly stopped him, "Run, don't get close to the insects, their whole bodies are poisonous."

The man in white accelerated towards the mountain's summit.

Gu Chenfeng, Flame Shadow, and the Nether Beast also quickened their pace, soaring into the sky.

Though the poisonous insects are exceedingly poisonous, their cultivation is weak, and they can't catch up at all.

After a few minutes.

The man in white brought Gu Chenfeng and the others to a height parallel to the mountain peak.

With his gaze fixed on one spot, the man in white said, "See that tree? The Netherworld Immortal Grass is behind it."

Flame Shadow focused his gaze, suddenly overjoyed, "Gu Chenfeng! I see a purple glow! It must be the Netherworld Immortal Grass!"

"We've finally found it." Gu Chenfeng's face lit up with a relieved smile.

If not for possessing the terrifying ancient divine power, Gu Chenfeng and the others couldn't have possibly entered the depths of Nether Immortal Valley or found the Netherworld Immortal Grass.

It's also because of the fearsome nature of Nether Immortal Valley that those from the Immortal Realm do not dare tread lightly.

However.

Just as Gu Chenfeng was about to harvest the Netherworld Immortal Grass, a shadow suddenly dashed out, snatching the grass first.

Due to the mists of Nether Immortal Valley, neither Gu Chenfeng nor the man in white could easily sense nearby presences.

Because of this, no one noticed a powerful figure hiding in the shadows.

"Someone's hiding in ambush!" The man in white's expression changed drastically.

Flame Shadow exclaimed, "Damn it! He took the Netherworld Immortal Grass!"

Gu Chenfeng shouted angrily, "Who?"

"Haha, the Netherworld Immortal Grass is mine!" The shadow laughed with an aged voice.

Gu Chenfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, coldly demanding, "Hand over the Netherworld Immortal Grass!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I got the Netherworld Immortal Grass first; if you have the ability, come and take it!" The man in black sneered, then flew out of the valley.

"Just a mere Middle Stage Immortal Venerable dares to seize the Immortal Grass! You won't escape!" The man in white coldly said, fully activating his immortal power to pursue.

"Don't let him get away!" The Nether Beast also pursued with full strength.

"Gu Chenfeng, quick, chase! Don't let him escape!" Flame Shadow shouted anxiously, speeding off after him.

Gu Chenfeng coldly declared, "He won't get away!"

The domineering and terrifying ancient divine power erupted, and Gu Chenfeng reached out a hand, grasping the shadow with ancient divine power instantaneously enveloping it.

A terrifying aura pressure forcefully suppressed the man in black.

The man in black's expression changed dramatically, exclaiming in horror, "I can't move! Such a terrifying aura pressure!"

The man in white, Flame Shadow, and the Nether Beast appeared swiftly.

The man in white was inwardly shocked, "Is this the power of Gu Chenfeng's aura pressure? It can even suppress an Immortal Venerable expert!"

Gu Chenfeng slowly approached, eyes coldly fixed on the immobile man in black, he asked icily, "Who are you? Why did you steal the Netherworld Immortal Grass?"

The man in black angrily replied, "This Netherworld Immortal Grass is of great use to me, don't think you'll get it."

"You, a Seventh Grade Alchemist, using the Netherworld Immortal Grass to refine a Seventh Grade Pill is a waste, and you can't even control its medicinal power." Gu Chenfeng frowned, speaking coldly, quickly identifying the man in black as a Seventh Grade Alchemist.

"Seventh Grade Alchemist?" The man in white and the Nether Beast were stunned.

Flame Shadow coldly said, "Aha, an alchemist, no wonder he wants to steal the Netherworld Immortal Grass! But you're seeking death!"

The man in black looked at Gu Chenfeng, shocked, "How did you know I am a Seventh Grade Alchemist? I've hidden my soul power, you couldn't possibly tell."

Flame Shadow angrily said, "Enough talk! Hand over the Netherworld Immortal Grass now! Or we'll kill you here and now!"

The man in black retorted fiercely, "Kill me, and you can forget about getting the Netherworld Immortal Grass!"

Gu Chenfeng frowned, asking, "What do you want the Netherworld Immortal Grass for?"

The man in black snorted, "Why not tell you? I've hit a bottleneck in alchemy, and only this Netherworld Immortal Grass can help me breakthrough to the Eighth-Grade Alchemist realm."

Gu Chenfeng's eyes narrowed, speaking coldly, "The Netherworld Immortal Grass contains powerful and pure energy, but no soul power, it can only enhance cultivation, it absolutely can't help you break through to Eighth-Grade Alchemist."

"Even an immortal grass with pure soul power couldn't help you break through to the Eighth-Grade Alchemist realm, do you really think it's that easy to reach the Eighth Grade Realm?"

The Nether Beast angrily retorted, "We painstakingly found the Netherworld Immortal Grass, but you shamelessly snatched it, utterly shameless!"

The man in black dismissively replied, "In this Immortal Cultivation World, strength rules, so what if it's shameless? The strong only care about results!"

Flame Shadow pointed at the man in black, shouting angrily, "You shameless villain, you won't leave alive today!"

The man in black ferociously retorted, "Let's see about that! Even if it means perishing together, I'll destroy the Netherworld Immortal Grass so you won't get it either."

Gu Chenfeng pondered for a moment, then spoke, "If you hand over the Netherworld Immortal Grass, considering you're a Seventh Grade Alchemist, I might spare your life."

"Wishful thinking!" The man in black yelled angrily, "You think I'll believe you? You're too powerful, I'm naturally no match for you, once I give it to you, will I still live?"

"I offered you a chance and you didn't seize it, don't blame me." Gu Chenfeng said coldly, the terrifying ancient divine power whipped up, intensifying the aura pressure.

"Puh!"

Under the terrifying aura pressure, the man in black spat a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the man in black cough up blood, Flame Shadow sneered tauntingly, "Old fool, how about now? Regret it? Too late for regrets!"

The man in black thought in terror, "Such terrifying power! No wonder even a Late Stage Immortal Venerable can't defeat him!"

Gu Chenfeng then conjured a terrifying energy sword.

"Killing you, and the Netherworld Immortal Grass is mine!" Gu Chenfeng said coldly, ready to wield the energy sword to slay the man in black.

However.

Just then.

A weak, aged voice arose, "Young friend, please show mercy."
