Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 714 - 704: Who Are You Really?

"Whoosh!"

A black-robed elder appeared in a flash above the Taiyi Divine Hall.

A terrifying aura spread from the black-robed elder.

This person was none other than Zuo Qingyang, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Immortal Hall.

Zuo Qingyang’s cultivation had reached the Early Stage of Immortal Venerable, and he was also an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, holding a superior status in the Immortal Realm and renowned far and wide.

Even the strongest of the peak Late Stage Immortal Venerables from all the great powers of the Immortal Realm would be compelled to show deference in the presence of Zuo Qingyang.

Such was the terrifying status of an Eighth-Grade Alchemist.

Everyone present turned their eyes towards Zuo Qingyang.

Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "After ten thousand years of not seeing him, aside from his significant realm advancement, this old fellow hasn’t changed much."

Nine Nether, standing behind, asked respectfully, "Master, this man is highly esteemed in the Immortal Realm, and an Eighth-Grade Alchemist as well. Do you know him?"

"I do." Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile.

Nine Nether quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things would be easier since his master knew the person.

"Greetings, Elder Zuo." The Palace Master and elders of the Cyan Profound Palace respectfully clasped their fists in salute.

"Greetings, Elder Zuo." The members of the Cyan Profound Immortal Palace also respectfully clasped their fists in salute.

Zuo Qingyang glanced at the Cyan Profound Palace Master and asked indifferently, "He spared your life after severing your hands, yet you’ve provoked another mighty figure?"

Enduring excruciating pain, the Cyan Profound Palace Master respectfully reported, "Elder Zuo, the Taiyi Divine Hall killed disciples of our Cyan Profound Immortal Palace. We just sought an explanation, but not only did they refuse, they severely injured three elders and severed my hands."

"Elder Zuo, it was that boy. He severed my hands. He possesses an incredibly terrifying power that can suppress my Immortal Power. We have never witnessed such a dreadful force."

Zuo Qingyang turned his aged eyes toward Gu Chenfeng.

It was unexpected and shocking.

The one who severed the Cyan Profound Palace Master’s hands was a youth of merely sixteen or seventeen years!

A youth capable of countering a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor.

Is this possible?

Zuo Qingyang scrutinized Gu Chenfeng intently, astonished, "This young man is deeply concealed. Even I, with the soul power of an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, cannot discern his cultivation."

"He could sever the hands of a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor; his power must surpass that of a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor. Yet, I’ve never heard of any major power having such a frighteningly gifted youth." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"In all my years in the Immortal Realm, this is the first time I’ve encountered someone so young with a terrifying talent surpassing a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor. Which transcendent power cultivated him?"

Zuo Qingyang couldn’t fathom who Gu Chenfeng was and was intensely curious.

Suppressing his amazement, Zuo Qingyang asked Gu Chenfeng, "What is your name? From which power do you come? Perhaps I know of it."

Gu Chenfeng did not answer but instead smiled lightly and asked, "Shouldn’t you understand the truth of the matter better?"

Seeing Gu Chenfeng remain composed in the face of an Immortal Venerable, Zuo Qingyang became even more curious about Gu Chenfeng’s origin and the power behind him.

"No need." Zuo Qingyang said with an indifferent smile, "Little brother, since you only severed his hands without killing him, I can roughly guess. I hope little brother can consider my face and turn a big issue into a small one."

"No problem." Gu Chenfeng grinned, "But let’s see your skills."

Gu Chenfeng intended to test Zuo Qingyang’s strength.

"Oh? Little brother wants to try with me?" Zuo Qingyang was quite surprised.

Zuo Qingyang didn’t expect Gu Chenfeng would intend to fight him.

"Master wants to fight an Immortal Venerable?" Nine Nether was shocked.

"Does Old Ancestor really have confidence?" exclaimed Wang Chongtian and Tian Lin in surprise.

"Old Ancestor is going to battle an Immortal Venerable?" The Taiyi Divine Hall was also in an uproar.

Zuo Qingyang was genuinely an Immortal Venerable expert.

Was Gu Chenfeng truly so confident?

"Indeed." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Though you speak of an Immortal Venerable realm, you are also an Eighth-Grade Alchemist. I want to see if you, as an Alchemist, can truly unleash the power of an Immortal Venerable."

"Alright!" Zuo Qingyang readily agreed, "To be honest, little brother, with such formidable strength at such a young age, I too would like to test you."

The Cyan Profound Palace Master quickly and respectfully warned, "Elder Zuo, this kid’s power is terrifying. Be extremely cautious."

"Shut up! Stand back!" Zuo Qingyang scolded, sweeping a glance that made the Cyan Profound Palace Master shiver and quickly retreat.

Turning his gaze to Gu Chenfeng, Zuo Qingyang activated the power of the Immortal Venerable realm and said with a light smile, "Little brother, be careful."

"Buzz buzz!"

An immensely terrifying power erupted from within Zuo Qingyang, and a dazzling flame soared into the sky. The terrifying energy spread instantly over a hundred thousand feet, causing the space to tremble violently and collapse layer by layer wherever it passed.

A terrifying tornado of death swept through, changing the color of heaven and earth.

"Indeed a formidable power." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, undaunted.

Zuo Qingyang suddenly raised his hand, and flames surged in his palm. Instantly, countless runes radiating mysterious flames shot out, interweaving into a massive web in the air, enveloping towards Gu Chenfeng.

In response.

Gu Chenfeng showed no fear, fully mobilizing his Ancient Divine Power. Forming a sword point with his right hand, he pointed it across the air.

An imposing and dominating aura surged straight to the clouds.

"What an overwhelming aura!" Zuo Qingyang was shocked, "This power is even more terrifying and is neither Immortal Power nor Ancient Immortal Power."

"This young man is truly extraordinary, no wonder he dares to fight me."

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

A brilliant golden light shot out like golden lightning, colliding fiercely with the web, creating a deafening roar. The energy shockwaves made the already collapsing space tremble again.

The terrifying forces clashed, evenly matched.

This scene.

Stunned everyone watching.

Especially the Cyan Profound Palace Master, whose eyes bulged in disbelief.

He could hardly believe that Gu Chenfeng possessed the terrifying power to rival an Immortal Venerable.

Zuo Qingyang smiled slightly, his figure blurred into a shadow, rapidly circling Gu Chenfeng, constantly unleashing sharp sword qi that sliced through the sky like meteor showers, carrying a destructive aura.

Gu Chenfeng was fearless, stamping the ground fiercely, causing white light to burst around him, as streams of white flames surged out, instantly forming a blazing sea of fire that devoured all the sword qi.

"This is... Ice Flame!" Zuo Qingyang’s old face changed drastically, instantly recognizing the Ice Flame.

His gaze filled with immense shock, he swiftly turned to Gu Chenfeng and asked, "How do you possess Ice Flame? Who exactly are you?"

Gu Chenfeng smiled, "Let’s talk after the battle."

"This aura is definitely Ice Flame! I absolutely won’t be mistaken! But how could Ice Flame appear in the Immortal Realm?" Zuo Qingyang was deeply shaken, yet utterly baffled.
