Despair Star
Suddenly, Li Qiang looked at Zhang Xingfeng and smiled, thinking to himself, "As expected of Uncle Huo's disciple, Uncle Huo is indeed amazing. He actually came up with a way to ignore the Yuan Power of my Immortal Realm."
Li Qiang wasn't unhappy at all. After all, he was indifferent to fame and fortune. He hadn't told the Azure Emperor that he was the Immortal Realm Inheritor because he disliked fighting and killing. Now that the final moment had arrived, Li Qiang was forced to come forward.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and Li Qiang simply laughed it off.
However, the Azure Emperor's heart was in turmoil...
Even his own trump card, Li Qiang, believes he's no match for Zhang Xingfeng. So, does his Fengyuan Gate have anyone capable of dealing with him? Now that the Purple Cloud Realm is practically finished, the Immortal Realm will likely be dominated by the Fengyuan Gate and the Tianlong Sect. Of course, having Li Qiang and the Azure Emperor with the Seven Star Robe guarantees the Fengyuan Gate Sect's higher status than the Tianlong Sect. Moreover, the Tianlong Sect has lost many Immortal Monarch- level experts.
How could a celestial overlord tolerate the existence of people or forces he couldn't handle?
"The Universe Shift!"
The Azure Emperor's face was ferocious, and he immediately used the "Universe Shift". Unfortunately, Ziwei had reserved the "Universe Shift" as her trump card and did not have a chance to use it. Li Qiang had just used the power of the Immortal Realm to immobilize the eight Immortal Emperors and then killed them with a few strikes!
Just as Zhang Xingfeng was smiling with satisfaction, he suddenly felt a force, the force of space, and then... he disappeared from the Immortal Realm!
"Master, you!" Li Qiang, being Immortal Realm Inheritor, immediately noticed Zhang Xingfeng's disappearance from the Immortal Realm.
"What's wrong, disciple? Does this mean that our Fengyuan Gate will have no enemies left to contend with us? Have I done something wrong?" The Azure Emperor was clearly very satisfied with his actions.
Li Qiang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wrong, wrong, wrong, this is the biggest mistake you've ever made, Master!"
The Azure Emperor frowned, displeased with Li Qiang's words. However, he calmed himself down and was suddenly startled. After all, Li Qiang had never spoken to him like this before. He immediately said, "What's wrong? Are you talking about his Fire God master? Aren't you Immortal Realm Inheritor? You can't deal with the Fire God? Besides, very few people noticed that I was the one who made the move. Others probably thought that Zhang Xingfeng Teleportation away on his own!"
Li Qiang smiled wryly, "The Fire God? Master, let me tell you, my master and Zhang Xingfeng's master are brothers. That Fire God isn't from the Divine Realm. He's even more powerful than the people of the Divine Realm. You've offended him... Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor panicked. They were even more powerful than the people of the Divine Realm! This was outrageous!
"Disciple, what... what should we do? Do you think Zhang Xingfeng's master will come after me? That Fire God is a lawless fellow!" Azure Emperor was anxious.
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll try to find my master and ask him for help. But don't worry, Master, Zhang Xingfeng is my Uncle Huo's disciple, nothing will happen to him. As long as nothing bad happens to Zhang Xingfeng, he will definitely give my master some face!"
The Azure Emperor suddenly gave a bitter smile, "Hearing what you say, I'm no longer worried about the Fire God. But I am worried about Zhang Xingfeng. You've seen Zhang Xingfeng's strength. Now that I've treated him this way, if he escapes danger and comes to the Immortal Realm to settle accounts with me, then..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang also felt a headache coming on. He even felt a bit resentful towards the Azure Emperor for being so reckless in attacking Zhang Xingfeng.
"Master, now that this matter has been taken care of, don't think too much about anything else. You should focus on handling the affairs of the Immortal Realm. As for Zhang Xingfeng's matter, leave it to me!" Li Qiang said helplessly.
On the Despair Star.
"Damn it, I actually got tricked by that Azure Emperor! I never expected Azure Emperor to be so cunning! Ah, what is this thing? It really stinks!" Zhang Xingfeng carefully moved aside a lump of mud-like material, which was clearly some kind of animal excrement.
"Big brother, big brother, Long Ling is unconscious, big brother!" Fire Blade, who rarely spoke, called out anxiously at this moment.
Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback and immediately asked, "Fire Blade, what's wrong? You said that Dragon Spirit has lost consciousness?" When Zhang Xingfeng gave away the divine artifact, since Dragon Spirit wasn't his, he didn't have the right to give it away, so he kept it with him.
Fire Blade immediately replied, "Just now, as soon as we entered this world, we were having a good conversation when Dragon Spirit suddenly lost consciousness, as if... as if..."
"What do you mean, 'as if'? Tell me!" Zhang Xingfeng was getting a little anxious. He still had feelings for Long Ling, Tian Yu, and Rou Jin. Only his own son was someone he was willing to give away.
"It's like... a divine artifact from the Divine Realm!" Fire Blade said uncertainly.
"Divine artifacts from the Divine Realm? What's going on? Right, I remember that divine artifacts that come down from the Divine Realm don't have memories of the Divine Realm. You mean... divine artifacts from the Divine Realm don't have consciousness?" Zhang Xingfeng asked.
"Yes, only Saint Artifact in the Divine Realm have consciousness; divine artifacts do not. Once they enter the lower realm, the Divine Realm gains consciousness. The sudden disappearance or slumber of the Dragon Spirit's consciousness is very likely due to this world!" Fire Blade judged.
"This world?" Zhang Xingfeng asked in surprise.
Fire Blade said, "Yes, I've been here before. I came here with my elder brother's master, Old Man Huo. But back then, Old Man Huo just went to the Thunder Slaying Platform for fun and then flew directly out of Despair Star. So I don't know what's inside Despair Star."
"Despair Star Sun? One of the three most desperate places in the Cultivation World, known as a forbidden zone from which no one can ever escape!" Zhang Xingfeng was clearly taken aback, but Zhang Xingfeng quickly recovered. "Hehe, it's not bad to come here for a visit. Anyway, my master has the ability to get out, so I'll definitely have a way too. Even if I can't get out, surely my master will save me?"
Fire Blade said, "This... Brother, your master once said that this Despair Star is not like any other place. He can only leave Despair Star by himself. You can only leave Despair Star by relying on your own abilities!"
Zhang Xingfeng: "..."
After a while, Zhang Xingfeng laughed again, "Haha... Forget it, can't I, Zhang Xingfeng, go out by myself? I'm not an ordinary person! Let's go, let's take a good look at this Despair Star!" With that, Zhang Xingfeng started walking forward.
One hour later.
Zhang Xingfeng was shocked to discover that he could no longer mobilize his Limitless Power!
"What... what's going on? Fire Blade, tell me what's happening? Why can't I use my Limitless Power? I can clearly feel it within my body, so why can't I access it now?" Zhang Xingfeng was clearly getting anxious; the Limitless Power was a crucial element of his strength.
Fire Blade stammered, "This... I don't know either. When I came with Old Man Huo, we never found that Old Man Huo's power was unusable. As for the others, I don't know!"
Zhang Xingfeng was finally dumbfounded. Who Old Man Huo? He was a supreme expert who had broken through to the Divine Realm, someone who could even disregard the Principle of the universe. Just because he could command his power didn't mean that someone like Zhang Xingfeng could do the same!
"Sigh, what kind of strange place is this Despair Star? The Limitless Power is useless, and those so-called immortal techniques and Secret Method are also useless. The divine artifacts have lost their consciousness and can only be used as ordinary weapons. Fortunately, fortunately, I still have the Fire Blade, I still have the Fire Blade!" Zhang Xingfeng comforted himself.
In an unfamiliar place, what's most important?
Defense!
"Oh dear, I need to see if I can still use Absolute Space. This Fire Element Power is a very special power. Isn't it said that breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm requires the Fire Origin Secret Canon? This Fire Element Power is the specialized power of the Fire Origin Secret Canon, so there shouldn't be any problem!" Zhang Xingfeng nervously began to use Absolute Space.
As expected...
The Fire Element Power was unaffected, and Absolute Space was unleashed normally.
"Well, with the protection of Absolute Space, what's there to worry about? Forget it, I should use Absolute Space less often. Using Absolute Space all the time isn't good for my physical cultivation! My Immortal Undying Body is already Great Accomplishment, so I should use it more often!" Zhang Xingfeng immediately withdrew Absolute Space and advanced using his Immortal Undying Body!
One hour later!
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly froze, and said with a wry smile, "Is this Despair Star playing tricks on us? Why does the pressure get heavier and heavier the further south we go?" Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng saw a large stone tablet in front of him!
It's the same size and material as the mysterious stone tablet I saw on the Tianluan Star in the Demon Realm, except that this stone tablet has words on it!
"Congratulations on arriving on Despair Star! The journey of despair lies ahead. Keep heading south until you reach the end, and then you can leave Despair Star! Perhaps... you'll even gain some unexpected rewards if you succeed! Best wishes, keep going!"
Zhang Xingfeng was baffled, then suddenly gave a bitter laugh, "Heavens, who wrote this? And they even said congratulations, are they just messing with me? But planting a wedge in the Jianyu Essence is no easy task, so it shouldn't be someone playing a trick on me. Oh well, onward to the south!"
Zhang Xingfeng Great Accomplishment of his Immortal Undying Body and advanced step by step. He also felt that the pressure from this world was increasing, but this pressure was nothing to Zhang Xingfeng's Immortal Undying Body. Zhang Xingfeng continued to move forward...
Li Qiang didn't know where his master was. The Old Man Hei had only told him one address: the highest place in the immortal realm!
However, Li Qiang had been to this high place several times, but he had never found the Old Man Hei, since the Old Man Hei had several places to live.
On this day, Li Qiang had another stroke of good luck. In a flash, he arrived at the highest point of the immortal realm.
Suddenly, Li Qiang was pleasantly surprised to see that there were three people there, one of whom was his master, the Old Man Hei.
"Master, your disciple pays respects to you! Master, I've come several times already, and I've finally found you this time!" Li Qiang said excitedly.
Upon seeing his apprentice, the Old Man Hei immediately stood up and said, "Well, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Huo. As for that other one, you don't need to pay him any attention!"
The Old Man Huo stared at Li Qiang and said coldly, "Li Qiang, you brat, what did your so-called master Yuanmu do to my precious disciple? Hmph, he really has a death wish, daring to lay a hand on my disciple. Doesn't he know that Zhang Xingfeng is my disciple? Old Man Hei, this time I've decided, whenever I go to Fengyuan Gate, I'll burn the entire Fengyuan Gate down!"
The Old Man Hei didn't care at all. "What are you talking to me about? If you want to burn it, then burn it. What does that Yuanmu have to do with me? If you want to kill, then kill; if you want to burn it, then burn it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang panicked. "Oh dear, Master, Uncle-Master, please don't do this! My Master was just confused for a moment. I know that you and Uncle-Master are both people with great Divine Ability. Saving Zhang Xingfeng was just a piece of cake for you. When Zhang Xingfeng comes out, I will definitely make my confused Master apologize to Zhang Xingfeng. I hope Uncle-Master Huo can be magnanimous and not hold it against him!"
Old Man Huo narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, easy for you to say. Do you think it's easy to bring people from Despair Star out? Only this man next to you, your Uncle Lei, can bring my disciple out, but... never mind, you'll have to beg him."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang immediately turned to Thunder Duke, who was silently drinking, and said, "Uncle Lei, I hope you can save him..."
Thunder Duke suddenly said, "Don't tell me that. Let me tell you, I will never go to the Despair Star again. The matter of the Despair Star has nothing to do with me. Old Man Huo, are you doing this on purpose? Don't you know what I said when I broke through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm? I said I didn't want this Despair Prison Realm anymore, and that's it. No matter what happens, I will not go there!"
The Old Man Huo and the Old Man Hei looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Thunder Duke is stubborn and incredibly obstinate!
This Despair Star is a part of Thunder Duke's top-tier Saint Artifact, "Despair Prison Realm." Back then, after Thunder Duke broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, he split and threw away the top-tier Saint Artifact, "Despair Prison Realm," for a matter that only involved a few words.
His stubbornness and obstinacy are evident.
"But my master in the immortal realm, and the Fengyuan Gate ..." Li Qiang looked at the Old Man Huo.
The Old Man Huo scoffed, "Hmph, forget it. For the sake of the old man with the Old Man Hei, I won't bother with that so-called Fengyuan Gate. But it's hard to say if my disciple won't bother. We'll talk about everything after he comes out. Anyway, the Despair Star can only trap people below the Heavenly God Realm. My disciple's mental cultivation is extremely high now. He'll reach the Heavenly God Realm within a thousand years. It's only a thousand years, isn't it? What a short time!"
