Celestial Phenomenon Ancestor

The White Fox Queen and Princess Qinglin promptly obeyed the Little Corpse Charm's orders to drain the blood of the Elephant Demon.

The two had long shed their former arrogance, clearly having been thoroughly tamed by the Little Corpse Charm during this time.

They had resigned themselves to their fate—after all, who could argue when the other was the favorite of their master? Even if they prided themselves on their beauty, it paled in comparison.

After all, everything they had, the Corpse Demon possessed too—and what they lacked, the Corpse Demon still had.

They never imagined a day would come when they’d be trampled underfoot by a mere Corpse Demon.

Corpse Demons were low-tier fiends, weak in combat, skilled only in the art of transformation. Yet it was precisely this skill that elevated her to a position second only to their master, above all other demons.

They, too, knew transformation arts, but theirs were mere illusions—tricks of the eye. The Corpse Demon’s metamorphosis was different, an innate racial talent, a true transformation from the inside out.

It was true that Corpse Demons were low-tier fiends, but they were exceedingly rare. Their creation demanded harsh conditions: a maiden born with innate allure, delivered in the year, month, and hour of Yin, who died with resentment in her heart and was buried in a land of extreme Yin. Only with the perfect alignment of time, place, and fate could one come into being.

Their classification as low-tier stemmed solely from their weak combat prowess.

......

Gu Qingfeng stood before the inverted palace and stepped inside without hesitation.

Deep within the palace, a stone chamber stood sealed.

Even before the door, Gu Qingfeng could sense the faint traces of Dao essence seeping through the cracks.

BANG!

He kicked the stone door open and strode in.

Inside, he was met with the sight of an elderly man with white hair, clad in black robes, his eyes sharp and sinister like a viper’s.

The old man sat cross-legged in mid-air, a jade disc rotating before him. The disc was peculiar, seemingly without physical form, as if woven from light itself.

It was pitch-black, wreathed in dark energy, radiating boundless Dao essence.

At its center, a single silver spark struggled desperately, on the verge of being devoured by the encroaching darkness.

Gu Qingfeng observed the scene with a glint of intrigue in his eyes. "So, you’re the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor? To think you wouldn’t even bother setting up defensive formations while refining the Heavenly Dao of the Qing Realm—how careless."

The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor remained calm, casting a dismissive glance at Gu Qingfeng. "When humans lock their doors, is it to stop thieves or to keep out ants?"

"Keh keh keh..." Gu Qingfeng chuckled. "Amusing. Truly amusing. It’s been a while since I’ve met a demon bold enough to act so arrogantly in my presence."

When it came to arrogance, Gu Qingfeng had never bowed to anyone.

"Fool." The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor shook his head. With a casual flick of his finger, a slender streak of inky darkness shot toward Gu Qingfeng.

Then, without another glance, the ancestor returned to refining the Qing Realm’s Heavenly Dao.

The dark energy struck Gu Qingfeng, vanishing instantly as it seeped into his body.

Ding!

Host has been attacked by the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor.

Cultivation +10 million +10 million +10 million…

Gu Qingfeng felt an overwhelming surge of power erupt within him, his true essence rising like a tidal wave, climbing without end.

Divine Soul Realm, Second Heaven! Divine Soul Realm, Third Heaven!!

A wild grin spread across his face.

As expected of a Heavenly Being Realm expert—just a casual strike, barely even a fraction of his power, had propelled him two whole realms!

What heights could he reach if the ancestor went all out?

"What a pitifully weak attack. How can something be this feeble?"

The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor froze, then turned to stare at Gu Qingfeng—completely unharmed. Shock flickered across his face.

By all logic, his strike should have erased the man from existence. So why...?

Just then, Gu Qingfeng’s voice rang out, laced with disdain. "To think a mere Heavenly Being Realm insect from the Upper Realm would dare strike at me. You truly have no regard for your life."

The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor was dumbfounded. Had he misheard?

Mere? Upper Realm? Heavenly Being Realm? Insect?

How were these words even strung together?

His brows furrowed in deep confusion.

Why had this human, barely at the Divine Soul Realm, survived his attack?

Suddenly, the ancestor struck again—another finger flick, but this time with a hint of seriousness.

As his finger pointed, the surrounding space trembled faintly under the force.

Whoosh!

Another streak of darkness pierced Gu Qingfeng’s body.

Ding!

Host has been attacked by the Heavenly Elephant Ancestor.

Cultivation +100 million +100 million +100 million…

Holy shit!

Hundreds of millions!!

Gu Qingfeng’s elation soared as his cultivation skyrocketed.

Divine Soul Realm, Fourth Heaven!

Divine Soul Realm, Fifth Heaven!!

Divine Soul Realm, Sixth Heaven!!!

Only when his cultivation stabilized at the Sixth Heaven did the surge finally cease.

"Oh?"

The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor, who had been watching closely, let out a sound of surprise.

"Human, your body is unusual. You’ve absorbed all of my power."

Gu Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat—this was the first time a demon had ever noticed the system’s mechanics.

The system acted as a converter, absorbing the demon’s attack and transforming it into power for the host.

As expected of a Heavenly Being Realm expert—his perception was extraordinary.

Damn it, but the system was still trash!

"Trash system, how can some random Upper Realm demon see through you so easily?"

The system’s cold voice responded promptly: "This system has never concealed its operations."

Tch!

Gu Qingfeng cursed inwardly. Even the system knew how to act high and mighty!

Whatever. So what if he saw through it? Against demons, I’m invincible. Do your worst—what’s the point of just seeing through it?

"Human, this must be your trump card. But even if you can absorb my attacks, so what? Every absorption has its limits—nothing is infinite. Let’s see just how far yours goes!"

The Heavenly Elephant Ancestor had weathered countless storms in his lifetime. Though Gu Qingfeng’s situation was bizarre, it hardly fazed him.

Bodies capable of absorbing energy were nothing new—he’d even encountered those that could take in ten times their own capacity.

Against such physiques, opponents of the same level struggled, but with a vast enough gap in strength, one could simply overwhelm them.

Even a bottomless abyss would eventually flood if poured into by the sea!

Gu Qingfeng smirked, even finding the leisure to joke with the system.

"Hey, system. This demon wants to test your limits."

The system replied: "Let him."
