My son is about to break through.

"This battle is not over yet, so how can we declare victory?"

The deep, cold voice of the Eternal Silence God, as if scraped from an ancient icy abyss, suddenly broke the brief silence brought about by the fall of the Illusory God.

His voice contained an undeniable firmness and icy anger.

As he finished speaking, he gently flicked his sleeve, which was shrouded in eternal darkness, towards the void where the water mirror image was located.

"Om-!"

The scene in the water mirror suddenly underwent a bizarre change.

Followed by.

It was as if the vast and boundless origin of the Great Dao was forcibly drawn and gathered from the depths of the void, from the source of the Great Dao River belonging to the Void God Lord.

Countless intricate Daoist runes, like summoned fish, swarmed in from all directions.

It only took a breath or two.

A perfectly intact divine body, though its aura was slightly weak and unstable, had indeed been reconstituted as the body of the illusory god.

He stood there quietly, his face even paler than before, his eyes brimming with shock, anger, and humiliation, yet the essence of immortal life and the aura of the Great Dao remained undeniably present.

The Immortal Celestial Venerable merged with the Dao through his own body!
As long as the Great Dao it governs is not destroyed and its own Great Dao imprint is not completely erased, it can use the power of the Great Dao to reshape its divine body at any time and in any place and return again.

This is the essence of the word "immortal".

The Way is immortal!
Stay alive!
Upon seeing the scene in the water mirror where the illusory god reassembled his body, the face of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor, shrouded in immortal light, instantly darkened.

The hazy celestial light seemed to fluctuate violently for a moment, revealing its inner displeasure.

"The immortal merges with the Dao, and since the Dao is indestructible, it is difficult to completely kill them; this is common sense."

The voice of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor was no longer calm, but carried a cold questioning tone as he stared directly into the deep darkness of the Eternal Silence God Lord.

"Gu Qingfeng, with the body of a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable, was able to defeat the Void Form head-on, and even completely destroy its divine body once, forcing it to use the origin of the Great Dao to reshape itself. Such a feat is unprecedented."

"Logically speaking, Gu Qingfeng has already won this battle!"

“Yongji, you just said that the outcome of the bet would be based on the result of their battle.”

Now that Gu Qingfeng has decisively defeated the illusory form, does this dignified twelfth-level Immortal Realm intend to go back on your word and betray your promise in front of everyone?

The last few words, like a thunderclap, resounded with supreme authority and disdain, echoing in the hearts of every immortal being.

Faced with the sharp and incisive question from the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei, which went straight to the heart of the matter, the darkness surrounding the Eternal Silence God Lord seemed to intensify, but his cold voice remained unyielding.

"Rules are rules!"

"The bet I made is about the final outcome of their battle!"
What constitutes the final outcome? It could mean one side is utterly destroyed, or one side is rendered incapable of fighting and voluntarily surrenders!

The abyss-like eyes of the Eternal Silence God Lord pierced through the darkness, coldly watching the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor, and then glanced at the illusory God Lord who had been re-formed in the water mirror.

"Although the illusory form has suffered a defeat and its divine body has been destroyed, its Great Dao remains intact and its origin is still intact. It has already reconstructed its divine body and can still fight again. How can this be considered a defeat? How can this be considered the final result?"

The voice of the Eternal Silence God carried an unquestionable resolve.

"The illusory form is not dead, has not admitted defeat, and still has the ability to fight; therefore, this battle is not over!"

As he spoke, his gaze, hidden deep in the darkness, fell once again on the image in the water mirror, on the figure in green robes who stood alone above the Yellow Springs and was now slightly frowning as he looked toward the direction of the resurrection of the illusory god.

In that gaze, besides the coldness, there was also an undisguised, bone-chilling killing intent.

A mere Ninth Tribulation Celestial Venerable was able to force an Immortal God to actively reshape his body using the origin of the Great Dao.

Such monstrous beings are so threatening that they've already made it to the very top of his kill list.

In a normal duel between Heavenly Venerables, the moment the Void God Lord's divine body was completely annihilated, he had already suffered a complete defeat.

but--

This is an immortal battlefield!

This is the realm of those who have attained harmony with the Tao!

The reason why immortality is immortal, and why it can stand above all living beings and overlook the changing of eras, is fundamentally due to its characteristic of coexisting with the Dao and being almost immortal.

This is the real rule!
That is the ironclad rule that belongs to the realm of immortality!
Hearing the arrogant explanation of the Eternal Silence God, the faces of the many immortals on the human side turned extremely gloomy, and their eyes were almost bursting with anger!

The Ancient Barbarian Celestial was so enraged that his hair and beard stood on end, and the stone axe in his hand emitted a buzzing roar as he wished he could strike again.

How could they not understand the shameless intentions of the Eternal Silence God?
This was clearly based on the fact that Gu Qingfeng's realm had not reached the Immortal realm, making him unable to truly kill the Void God Lord—a fatal weakness. They wanted to use the characteristics of immortality—to drag this duel into an endless war of attrition.

However, no matter how profound one's foundation is, theoretically, how can a Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable compete with an Immortal Celestial Venerable who is truly in harmony with the Great Dao and whose power is almost inexhaustible?

This is a completely unequal battle!
If we really have to follow the rules of the Eternal Silence God, then...

Gu Qingfeng's chances of winning will become extremely slim.

"Eternal silence! You—!"

The Ancient Barbarian Celestial Venerable roared, about to unleash his fury.

Beichen Tianzun also frowned, his body radiating sword energy, ready to strike again at any moment.

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

He gave the Lord of Eternal Silence a deep look, his gaze seemingly piercing through eternal darkness to see into the deepest schemes of the other's heart.

He did not argue further, because at their level, verbal sparring was futile.

He simply turned his gaze back to the image in the water mirror.

Ultimately, it all comes down to those two people on the battlefield.

……

Void battlefield.

When Gu Qingfeng saw that grayish-white light appear and the body of the Phantom God Lord quickly and completely re-condense before his eyes, his pupils also contracted slightly.

A hint of seriousness and a trace of understanding flashed deep in his eyes.

"By merging with the Dao, the Great Dao will never perish, and the divine body will never perish... So that's how it is."

He whispered to himself.

Although he already knew that the Immortal Celestial Venerable possessed such near-immortality, the shock of witnessing an opponent he had slain, whose body and soul had been destroyed, resurrected perfectly before him in an instant was still intense.

This is one of the most fundamental and almost insurmountable gaps between immortality and what lies beneath it.

You can defeat him, even kill him once, but as long as you fail to touch and obliterate the root of his great path, he can make a comeback.

now.

Although the illusory god who had reassembled his body was pale and his aura was much weaker, the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Qingfeng no longer showed the shock and fear he had shown before. Instead, it was filled with a twisted, venomous, and slightly triumphant ferocity.

"Hahahaha!"

The illusory god let out a somewhat hoarse yet incredibly arrogant laugh, filled with the relief of surviving a calamity and the arrogance of regaining his confidence!
"Gu Qingfeng! Did you see that? This is immortality! This is the power of merging with the Dao!"

He opened his arms as if embracing the great path that supported him from the darkness, his eyes looking down as if he were looking down at an ant struggling in vain.

"I am immortal! Unless you can completely erase my Dao from the source of chaos, you will never be able to kill me!"

"And you..."

The gaze of the Void God Lord was fixed on Gu Qingfeng like a venomous snake, and his tone became cruel and mocking.

"You are ultimately just a Ninth Tribulation Celestial Venerable! Your power will eventually run out!"

"I'd like to see just how long you, this anomaly, can hold out, and just how many more times you can kill me!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-white mist around the Void God Lord surged again. Although it was not as vast and magnificent as before, it still carried the immortal Daoist charm and cold killing intent.

Despite his weakened state after his divine body was reconstructed, he once again launched a preemptive attack on Gu Qingfeng.

Faced with the Void God Lord's almost shameless tactics, which relied on his superior realm, and his rampant and ferocious provocation, Gu Qingfeng's face did not show any fear or despair. Instead, a cold, yet strangely excited, arc slowly appeared on his face.

"Immortal?"

He repeated it softly, as if savoring the four words.

next moment.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes!
"Then let me see for myself whether your so-called immortality is truly immortal and indestructible!"

"Kill—!" Gu Qingfeng was not afraid at all. He took a step forward, and the Yellow Springs water once again flooded in. At the same time, the black divine blade slashed out fiercely, and the cold light of destruction cut everything in its path, causing the pupils of the Void God Lord to suddenly contract.

"boom!"

The latter immediately took action to defend.

Unfortunately, although the power of the Great Dao has re-formed his body, the Void God Lord is currently at his weakest.

It will still take some time to recover to its former glory.

however.

How could Gu Qingfeng possibly give him a chance to recover?

and so.

Before long, the Void God Lord could not withstand the attack and was cleaved in two by Gu Qingfeng's blade. The Yellow Springs surged forth and swallowed the immortal remains once again.

next interest.

The body of the illusory god that perished was then reconstituted.

"You can't kill me—"

He stared coldly at Gu Qingfeng, but in response, there was only the black blade light and the murky river water.

Behead!

resurrection!

Slay him again!

Resurrected!
……

In the scene, time seems to have lost its meaning.

Gu Qingfeng and the Void God Lord are like two tireless killing machines, engaged in an extremely bizarre cycle of life and death!
Time and again, Gu Qingfeng used his increasingly refined and sharp Netherworld Blade Intent, combined with the vast and unending power of the Yellow Springs, to annihilate and tear apart the newly formed divine body of the Void God Lord.

Meanwhile, the Void God Lord, relying on his connection with the Great Dao, repeatedly drew upon the source of the Great Dao in the darkness to reshape his divine body on the spot, and then continued to engage in battle, attempting to deplete Gu Qingfeng's power.

once!
ten times!

One hundred times!

A thousand times!

……

Even the illusory god doesn't remember how many times he has been resurrected.

His initial smugness gradually turned into a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Gu Qingfeng.

The immortal god lord of the evil god clan was horrified to discover that Gu Qingfeng's foundation was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Even after such a fierce battle, the enemy shows no signs of exhaustion.

More importantly.

It is with each resurrection.

The Void God Lord also sensed a weakness emanating from the Great Dao.

That's right!

The immortality of the Celestial Venerable is not true immortality, but merely resurrection through the power of the Great Dao.

However, even though the power of the Great Dao is vast, if too much is used, it will eventually be exhausted.

not only that.

With each resurrection, the Void God Lord was even more shocked by the fact that a portion of the Great Dao power he possessed was devoured by the Yellow Springs.

Although such devouring is not obvious.

However, as it is devoured more times, it should not be underestimated.

With this resurrection, the Void God Lord's sea of ​​consciousness trembled. He felt the rejection from the Great Dao and a strong sense of weakness.

This feeling.

It instilled a sense of fear in the heart of the illusory deity.

He understands.

If I continue to be resurrected like this, I might fall from the state of being one with the Dao.

That way.

He was about to lose his immortal status and become a half-step immortal celestial being.

Thinking of this, the Void God Lord suddenly felt somewhat absurd.

when.

An Immortal Celestial Venerable was forced into such a predicament by a Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

If I were to truly fall from my immortal position, I fear I would become a laughingstock throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

after all.

Since time immemorial.

No immortal being could ever be forced to fall from their position by a Nine Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

not to mention--

The illusory god did not want to die.

Therefore, when he was killed by Gu Qingfeng once again and his physical body was swallowed by the Yellow Springs, the Void God Lord did not mobilize the power of the Great Dao to revive himself again.

In the void, Gu Qingfeng waited for a long time but the Void God Lord did not appear. How could he not understand the latter's thoughts?

"Even the Immortal God Lord is nothing special!"

Gu Qingfeng's expression was mocking, as if he wanted to provoke his opponent into reviving and fighting again.

But a pity.

No matter how much Gu Qingfeng mocked him, the Void God Lord remained unmoved.

See here.

He silently lamented his misfortune.

In fact, from the moment the Void God Lord was resurrected for the first time, Gu Qingfeng had already discovered that each time he devoured the other's body, the power of the Yellow Springs would increase.

It's important to understand that after Huang Quan advances to the third stage, every step forward becomes incredibly difficult.

As for advancing to the fourth stage, it's anyone's guess when that will happen.

Now that an immortal god is finally willing to boost his score, Gu Qingfeng naturally won't miss this opportunity.

But a pity.

The Void God Lord seemed to have realized this as well, and at this moment he simply pretended to be dead, no longer using the power of the Great Dao to revive.

Gu Qingfeng felt a little regretful that he had lost such a useful target for enhancing the power of the Yellow Springs.

at the same time.

Within the Immortal God Kingdom, the atmosphere among the evil god clan was so oppressive that even the other evil gods dared not breathe heavily.

in the screen.

An immortal god was slaughtered thousands upon thousands of times, and in the end, he didn't even dare to resurrect and show his face. He could only pretend to be dead to avoid the battle, which undoubtedly disgraced the entire evil god race.

The suppressed rage of the other immortal gods was enough to engulf the entire immortal kingdom.

In this situation, no one dares to provoke the other.
