For such a terrifying entity, to crush a white-haired corpse with just a palm from afar, what could its true strength be?
Why did the other party appear here?
Friend or foe?
If it is an enemy... then today, I fear there’s truly no escape from calamity, with not even a glimr of resistance possible.
When the gap in strength becos so overwhelming, even the thought of resistance extinguishes on its own.
At this mont, Gu Xiu’s heart was left with nothing but bone-chilling despair and bewildernt.
However, the anticipated form of that terrifying entity did not erge from the rift to deliver the final judgnt to this ant.
Instead, as the spatial rift rapidly healed, a figure far too familiar, like stepping from the illusory into reality, erged from the closing edge of the rift, descending onto the desolate and deathly Blood Moon land.
Profound Emperor Robe, standing as tall and erect as an ancient Divine Mountain, surrounded by a mix of Netherworld death aura and majestic Emperor Mighty, his expression calm and indifferent, with eyes deep as an abyss, seemingly reflecting the cycles of life and death.
It was Gu Qingfeng!
"Father... Father Emperor!!"
Gu Xiu was completely stunned, eyes bulging wide, mouth slightly agape, his expression frozen in a mont of extre shock and disbelief.
He doubted whether he was experiencing the most absurd hallucination due to severe injuries and impending death.
How could Father Emperor appear here?
Was that terrifying giant palm, that tore the sky and crushed the white-haired corpse with one grip... conjured by Father Emperor?
But imdiately, Gu Xiu dismissed the possibility of hallucination.
The familiar aura down to his bones, the barely perceptible concern mixed in the dignified gaze, and the feeling of tranquility from deep within his bloodline all told him with utmost clarity—the person before him was indeed his Father Emperor, the Lord of the Profound Celestial Immortal Court, Gu Qingfeng!
The joy of surviving calamity, the unbelievable shock, and the collapse due to nerves long kept taut, all surged up like a tide, causing Gu Xiu’s voice to tremble with emotion: "Father Emperor... you... you really ca!!"
At this mont, all princely dignity and Heavenly Venerate deanor were cast to the winds.
He was just a child who saw his strongest support in the face of despair.
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze passed over Gu Xiu, especially lingering for a mont on the ghastly still slowly festering wound on his left shoulder, his brow subtly furrowing.
He didn’t say much, just extended his right hand, index finger lightly pointing in the air.
"Buzz!"
A crystal clear drop of blood, yet containing unimaginable vitality and Supre Dao Rhythm, condensed from his fingertip, transforming into a stream of light that instantly entered Gu Xiu’s left shoulder wound.
The blood drop entering the body was like sweet dew falling on scorched earth!
"Ssss—!"
The strange Dao Rhythm at the wound, stubborn and frantically eroding away, emitted a sharp, piercing scream as if from the soul, then rapidly dissolved under the illumination and wash of the blood light, dissipating into wisps of black smoke.
The decayed, pitch-black flesh of the wound swiftly shed off, and fresh flesh sprang forth like bamboo shoots after rain, quickly growing and healing.
In just a breath’s ti, that terrifyingly fatal wound had completely healed, the skin smooth and new, not even a scar remaining.
Moreover, the vast vitality and Dao Rhythm contained within the blood drop quickly circulated throughout Gu Xiu’s body, nourishing his damaged essence.
Gu Xiu only felt a warm current instantaneously flowing through his limbs and bones, dispelling all coldness, as if reborn; his condition was even better than before entering the Secret Realm!
He moved his left arm, feeling the surging strength within, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you, Father Emperor!"
Gu Xiu bowed deeply, his tone filled with reverence.
Gu Qingfeng slightly nodded, his expression remaining calm, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
His gaze once again swept across the desolate and deathly silent, Blood Moon-shrouded eerie continent, casually speaking: "Tell , why did you end up in such a predicant?
In such absolute lands, with your disposition, you would not venture unless absolutely necessary."
Hearing the inquiry, Gu Xiu’s excitent subsided slightly, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness and lingering fear.
He gathered his thoughts, began recounting with a bitter smile: "To report to Father Emperor, this... wasn’t my wish, either.
Your son entered the Secret Realm with Second Brother, but when I beca conscious of my surroundings, Second Brother was nowhere in sight, leaving isolated, appearing on this eerie continent alone."
He gestured around: "Here, the sky eternally holds a Blood Moon, the land is barren and deathly silent, moreover there’s a highly powerful Great Tao forcefield covering the entire edge of the continent, I’ve tried multiple tis, even using the Breaking Ban Talisman, yet it remained unmoved and instead backfired.
Helpless, I had to seek a way out within the continent."
Gu Xiu’s face showed lingering fear: "Who could have imagined, this place concealed many bizarre corpse-transford creatures, formidable in strength.
The Prince carelessly encountered an ancient corpse that pursued him relentlessly. After a bitter struggle, he was ultimately defeated and had no choice but to use the Essence Blood mark bestowed by the Emperor to slay it, yet he sustained serious injuries, with the strange Dao Rhythm invading his body, making it difficult to eradicate..."
"The white-haired beast just now was what the Prince encountered while his wounds had not yet fully healed. Its strength far exceeded the previous ancient corpse. Had the Emperor not arrived in ti, the Prince might have t a grim fate."
After listening to Gu Xiu’s account, Gu Qingfeng’s expression was understanding.
As expected, the entry point to this Secret Realm is random, and if unlucky, one could be directly transported to certain natural dead ends or perilous areas.
Gu Xiu was evidently one of the unlucky ones.
"I see."
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze was sharp as lightning as he looked up once again, gazing into the deep sky at the invisible Great Tao prohibitive patterns.
Given his current vision, he could naturally discern the intricacy and strength of this prohibition.
"The Great Tao prohibition here forms a domain of absolute doom.
Not to ntion you, even an ordinary Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerate who enters rashly, without knowing the proper thod, would find it hard to break the prohibition and escape, perhaps even getting trapped to death here."
Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly, revealing the true danger of this place.
This is not only a perilous land with formidable and eerie beings but also a natural cage targeting intruders!
Hearing this, Gu Xiu felt a growing fear in his heart.
Even an ordinary Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerate could be trapped to death?
For soone with only Four Tribulations Cultivation to last until the Emperor’s arrival was indeed extrely fortunate.
Gu Qingfeng’s gaze turned back towards the depths of the continent, towards the area where the Blood Moon’s light was most intense and the eerie Dao Rhythm most concentrated.
He faintly sensed that there seed to be sothing extraordinary there.
"The dangers here are incalculable, and it is unwise to linger. I shall first take you away from this domain of doom."
Gu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and made a decision.
As he spoke, his left hand flashed out like lightning, grabbing Gu Xiu’s shoulder.
The movent seed casual yet contained a certain spatial Dao Rhythm.
In the next instant, their figures transford into a blurred stream of light, soaring skywards, heading straight for the intangible prohibition covering the continent!
As if sensing soone attempting to forcefully break through, the intangible Great Tao prohibition in the sky imdiately manifested!
Countless dark red chains ford from Dao sigils appeared from thin air, weaving into a massive net covering the entire sky, flashing with ominous blood light, and bringing terrifying power that suppressed all things, enveloping Gu Qingfeng and Gu Xiu.
Faced with this terrifying prohibitive net, capable of trapping and killing a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerate, Gu Qingfeng’s expression did not change at all, not even pausing his steps.
He rely casually lifted his empty left hand, with five fingers clenching, and then, simply punched towards the blood-colored net overhead!
This punch was devoid of dazzling divine light and grand montum.
Yet as the punch advanced, the void silently shattered like fragile glass, dissolving into the most primordial emptiness.
A domineering Fist Intent, capable of breaking all shackles and reversing life and death, exploded forth!
"Boom——!!!"
The Great Tao prohibition disintegrated.
Gu Qingfeng did not cease his steps, and with a single step, he left this place.
The next instant.
Both appeared in the starry sky.
"Phew, finally out!"
Having exited that eerie continent, Gu Xiu imdiately felt a sense of relief, as if he had narrowly escaped death. He looked back at that eerie continent before him, his eyes filled with dread.
In such a bizarre Forbidden Land, had his own father not appeared, he would have been completely lost here.
At this mont.
Gu Qingfeng said, "Wait here for a mont, as I delve into this Forbidden Land again."
"Be careful, Father!"
"Hmm——"
Gu Qingfeng nodded, said nothing more, and with a single step, re-entered the Forbidden Land.
