Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"What a pity."

Watching the figure of the man in white leave, Gu Chenfeng laboriously took out a Healing Pill and consumed it, sneering, "If I were also at the Tribulation Stage, he wouldn't have escaped today."

"His Ancient Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power is indeed powerful, and he has an extremely rare Thunder Attribute Immortal Sword. I never thought the Xiahou Family could produce such a genius."

Gu Chenfeng never intended to let the man in white go; a powerful enemy, the fewer the better.

However, Gu Chenfeng was seriously injured and had no strength left to stop the man in white.

Gu Chenfeng endured the severe injuries, forcibly stimulated his Spiritual Power, then staggered as he flew away.

With such serious injuries, it was imperative to find a secluded place to heal.

Fortunately, this place was the most remote area in the East, rarely visited by cultivators, otherwise, Gu Chenfeng would be in danger.

"I should have taken some Healing Elixirs from the Demon Subduing; I also must break through to the Tribulation Stage soon and make a trip to Clouds Beyond Heaven," Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself while flying shakily.

Gu Chenfeng was eager to leave, naturally to prevent the man in white from returning with reinforcements.

In any case, with severe injuries, everywhere was dangerous.

Half an hour later.

Gu Chenfeng dragged his gravely injured body to a deep mountain.

Not caring whether there was danger around, Gu Chenfeng moved with a thought and instantly entered the Return to Ruins Ring.

In the Return to Ruins Ring, he could heal with absolute peace of mind.

Laboriously sitting down cross-legged, Gu Chenfeng immediately began to heal.

The Seventh Grade Healing Elixir he took earlier had little effect on Gu Chenfeng, who was at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.

Without a powerful Eighth Grade Elixir now, Gu Chenfeng could only rely on his strong physique and self-healing.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

With the help of his powerful physique, after just one day of healing, Gu Chenfeng's injuries had recovered by fifty percent.

Although not fully healed, it no longer hindered Gu Chenfeng's free movement, nor did it affect his ability to channel Spiritual Power.

Gu Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said, "The injuries have finally mostly healed. This battle has indeed improved me. Once I consolidate my realm, I can become even stronger."

"It's time to head to the Fire Spirit Race." Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, then waved his hand, and the obsidian instantly transformed into a domineering black spiritual ship.

Gu Chenfeng flashed onto the spiritual ship and continued sitting cross-legged to heal, while the ship swiftly flew towards the Fire Spirit Race.

At Gu Chenfeng's rate of recovery, by the time he reached the Fire Spirit Race, his injuries should be seventy percent healed.

...

Xiahou Family.

The man in white dragged himself back gravely injured, his breath extremely weak, on the verge of fainting at any moment.

"Young Master!" Two family members were shocked, hurriedly stepping forward to support the man in white.

Seeing the serious injuries on the man in white, one hastily shouted, "Patriarch! Elder! The Young Master is seriously injured!"

In the mansion hall.

Hearing the panicked cries of the family members, Patriarch Xiahou Feng and the elders, along with the seniors, all had drastically changed expressions.

"Zhantian is seriously injured?" Patriarch Xiahou Feng hurriedly rushed out.

"That's impossible, right? Who would dare harm the Young Master?" The elders found it hard to believe and also hurriedly rushed out of the hall.

Soon after.

Xiahou Patriarch and the elders arrived at the mansion courtyard.

The Xiahou Family members also came to the courtyard.

When they saw the gravely injured man in white, their expressions collectively changed.

"The Young Master was actually badly injured! How is this possible?"

"Did the Young Master provoke some powerful figure? How did he get so seriously injured?"

"The Young Master possesses the Ancient Thunder Attribute, with immense power, and is also a direct disciple of the Divine Moon Sect. Who would dare strike so brutally?"

They couldn't believe it, that the powerful Young Master of the Xiahou Family would be injured so severely.

Who could be so audacious?

"Zhantian!" Xiahou Feng hurriedly flashed forward to ask, "Zhantian, how are you? Who injured you like this?"

Xiahou Zhantian was too severely injured, and after forcibly channeling Spiritual Power to fly back, he was now unable to speak, his consciousness beginning to blur.

Patriarch Xiahou Feng was anxious, "Elixirs! Elder, quickly bring some elixirs!"

The Grand Elder Xiahou Xuan hurriedly took out an Eighth Grade Elixir and gave it to Xiahou Zhantian, then catalyzed the medicinal power with Soul Power, forcibly healing the man in white.

Xiahou Feng and the other elders all channeled Spiritual Power to heal Xiahou Zhantian.

The clansmen were all filled with worry.

After an hour of healing.

Xiahou Zhantian's injuries recovered by thirty percent, and his consciousness was restored, but his breath remained weak, and his face still pale.

Patriarch Xiahou Feng hurriedly asked, "Zhantian, how are you feeling? Any better?"

"Much better." Xiahou Zhantian nodded.

Xiahou Xuan smiled faintly, "The Young Master has the Eight Desolates Thunder God Body, a physically powerful body. Patriarch, you needn't worry. After taking another Eighth Grade Elixir, he will be fully healed in a few days."

Xiahou Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Zhantian, who did this to you? Which power do they belong to?"

Xiahou Zhantian clenched his fist, gritting his teeth in anger, "Gu Chenfeng!"

"What? Gu Chenfeng?" Xiahou Feng, the elders, and the seniors were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Since when did Gu Chenfeng possess such formidable strength?

Xiahou Zhantian said viciously, "I wanted to avenge my brother, thinking it would be easy to kill him, but I didn't expect his strength to be so immense."

Xiahou Feng's elder face instantly turned dark, and he said with a fierce anger, "Unbelievable! It's that Gu Chenfeng again! Not only did he kill my son, but also killed my Mahayana Stage clansman. Does he think my Xiahou Family is easily bullied?"

Outraged, Xiahou Feng erupted with icy killer intent, wishing he could tear Gu Chenfeng apart.

An elder frowned and asked, "Young Master, has Gu Chenfeng also broken through to the Tribulation Stage? That's impossible, right?"

Though the Xiahou Family did not know much about Gu Chenfeng, they had learned some about his strength.

"No!" Xiahou Zhantian shook his head, "He is only at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, but his power matches mine. His Sword Technique is extremely powerful; in our battle, we both ended up badly injured."

"His ability is very formidable. If he were also at the Tribulation Stage, I wouldn't be his match."

"A Late Stage of Divinity Transformation possessing Tribulation Stage strength?" Xiahou Feng and the elders were stunned.

"A Divinity Transformation that strong?" The clansmen were also astounded.

What kind of Late Stage Divinity Transformation could contend against a Tribulation Stage?

They had never heard of such a thing.

Wasn't this too defiant of the heavens?

Xiahou Zhantian's pale face was as fierce as a vicious tiger, coldly saying, "This is the first time I've encountered such a formidable Late Stage Divinity Transformation. Gu Chenfeng must be eliminated quickly, or it won't be easy to kill him as he grows stronger."

"Father, I need the Essence Blood Power of our ancestors! I must immediately enhance my cultivation! Once I break through to the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, I will go kill Gu Chenfeng; I cannot let him breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage!"
