"Gu Chenfeng's cultivation is still improving!"

Jingtian Yan exclaimed in extreme fear, "Could he possibly be trying to break through again?"

The breakthrough in cultivation did not stop Gu Chenfeng from frantically absorbing more pure power.

His swollen body had not yet returned to normal.

At that moment.

Jingtian Yan suddenly thought of something and urgently shouted to Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and others, "The power Gu Chenfeng has devoured hasn't been fully refined yet. Quickly, attack now!"

"Now is the best time to kill him! Do it quickly!"

Gu Chenfeng breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal King means the Ancient Divine Power will become even more terrifying.

How could Jingtian Yan possibly give Gu Chenfeng the chance?

As Jingtian Yan roared in anger, he continuously tried to activate the power of the Jade Pendant.

But no matter how he tried, it was of no use, the Jade Pendant showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Damn it!" Jingtian Yan was so enraged his lungs were about to explode, he growled angrily, "I actually can't control it! What exactly did Gu Chenfeng do to the Jade Pendant?"

A few minutes passed.

Neither Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable nor Xuanwu Immortal Venerable responded; they simply did not dare to make a move.

Upon witnessing this.

Jingtian Yan's face twisted like a ferocious tiger's as he shouted again, "Once Gu Chenfeng completely refines the power he has devoured, none of you will escape. Do you think he will let you go?"

At these words.

The expressions of Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable, Xuanwu Immortal Venerable, and others changed drastically.

Jingtian Yan was right.

They had already offended Gu Chenfeng by making a move earlier, so how could Gu Chenfeng possibly let them off easily?

"If anyone wishes to die, feel free to try! I, the Supreme Hall Master, will show no mercy!" the Supreme Hall Master said coldly, as a chilling murderous intent surged forth, and an overwhelming terrifying aura swept through.

The mighty and vast pressure forcefully intimidated Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and others.

First to speak was the Taiqing Hall Master: "All people of Taiqing Hall, withdraw immediately."

"Taiqing Hall Master, what do you mean by this?" Jingtian Yan angrily demanded, "Do you think Gu Chenfeng will spare you?"

Taiqing Hall Master frowned and said, "Whether I am spared is the Hall Master's business, not something for you, Young Master of Chaos, to worry about."

"You bastard!" Jingtian Yan viciously glared at Taiqing Hall Master, cursing inwardly, "How dare you betray me at the critical moment? Is this the cooperation that the man in the black robe talked about?"

"Once this matter is settled, I must make you all regret it!"

Taiqing Hall Master thought silently to himself, "Gu Chenfeng's power is too fearsome. We've already offended him today, and there's no need for Taiqing Hall to completely fall out with Gu Chenfeng because of the Eastern Emperor Palace."

"Considering the face of the Taiqing Hall Ancestor, Gu Chenfeng probably won't trouble Taiqing Hall."

In a fit of rage, Jingtian Yan shouted again at Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and others: "Why haven't you acted? Do none of you want to live? If you miss this chance, you'll be too late to regret it."

Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and Xuanwu Immortal Venerable remained silent.

The sight of six Immortal Venerables being slain by Gu Chenfeng kept flashing vividly in their minds.

They were genuinely terrified of Gu Chenfeng.

With Jingtian Yan's Ancient Immortal Artifact suddenly failing and losing the power to resist Gu Chenfeng, how could they dare make a move?

Jingtian Yan cursed inwardly, "All useless wretches! What damned Immortal Venerables, all are cowards fearing death!"

The Supreme Hall Master cast a fierce glance at Jingtian Yan and said coldly, "Jingtian Yan, whether they die or not, I do not know; but I do know, no one from your Chaos Immortal Hall can escape."

Xuan Qingyang fiercely ordered, "Supreme Immortal Hall, heed my command: if anyone dares to take action, kill them without mercy!"

With the support of the powerful Healing Pill, the Immortal Power of Xuan Qingyang and the Elders and Guardians had been largely restored.

They had enough strength to counter Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and others.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Gu Chenfeng's swollen body had begun to shrink.

This meant that Gu Chenfeng would soon be able to fully absorb the pure power within him.

At this moment.

Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable suddenly transmitted his voice, "Young Master of Chaos, the situation is lost; let's leave while Gu Chenfeng hasn't finished absorbing the power."

Seeing Gu Chenfeng almost done absorbing the power, Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and the others were still unwilling to make a move. The furious Jingtian Yan decided to give up.

"Let's go!" Jingtian Yan suddenly shouted and turned to flee at full speed.

Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable, Xuanwu Immortal Venerable, and numerous powerful Immortal Emperors all fled at full speed.

"Since you're here! Don't leave!" the Supreme Hall Master said coldly. "Stop them! Don't let a single one escape!"

However.

Just as Xuan Qingyang and the others made their move.

A domineering and profoundly terrifying aura suddenly pressed down on Jingtian Yan and many strong experts, rendering them immobile.

"This is bad!" Jingtian Yan's face changed dramatically, looking back at Gu Chenfeng in horror.

"It's over! We can't escape!" Yellow Springs Immortal Venerable and others were filled with horror, suddenly feeling as though they had fallen into the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Gu Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, and a domineering and surging presence shot skyward. Then he suddenly vanished.

In the blink of an eye.

Gu Chenfeng abruptly appeared in front of Jingtian Yan, grasping his neck and lifting him up.

"Gu Chenfeng! What are you trying to do? Let me go!" Jingtian Yan shouted in terror and anger, instinctively struggling.

But unfortunately, with his strength, he was simply no match for the Ancient Divine Power.

Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, "Jingtian Yan, your trump card is nothing much! I even have to thank you for the wonderful gift."

Gu Chenfeng's swollen body had by now fully returned to normal, and his cultivation had become even stronger.

Jingtian Yan growled angrily, "Gu Chenfeng! Let go of me! Do you want to start a war between the Chaos Immortal Hall and the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion?"

"The Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion is already in decline; do you want them to perish too?"

Gu Chenfeng's lips curled in a slight sneer, taunting, "What? Just a residual soul clone, and you're this scared? Or are you worried that if this clone dies, your cultivation will drop to the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor?"

Gu Chenfeng paid no heed to Jingtian Yan's threats.

"You dare!" Jingtian Yan roared with bloodshot eyes, looking as if he were ready to devour someone.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Haven't I killed your clones before? I'll just kill one more today!" Gu Chenfeng sneered, immediately intending to twist Jingtian Yan's head off.

But just at that moment.

"Stop!" An aged yet imposing voice echoed out.

In an instant.

A shadow suddenly flashed into existence beside Gu Chenfeng to his right.

Fixing his gaze, Gu Chenfeng saw the newcomer was an old man in a black robe, exuding an unimaginably strong aura.

Gu Chenfeng asked, "Who are you?"

The old man smiled slightly, "Who I am is not important, what's important is that you cannot kill him."

Gu Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and asked with a cold smile, "Why?"

The black-robed old man looked at Gu Chenfeng, his demeanor remaining placid as he smiled and said, "Because I cannot allow him to die."

The seemingly calm words carried an irresistible domineering weight.

Gu Chenfeng firmly gripped Jingtian Yan's throat, sneering, "What if I insist on having him dead?"
