Celestial Emperor of Devouring

"Gu Chenfeng, be careful!"

Flame Shadow's face changed dramatically, and he suddenly exerted his full Immortal Power to rush towards the Nether Beast.

Although Flame Shadow was afraid, he truly dared to take action when needed.

Flame Shadow would never abandon Gu Chenfeng to save himself.

However.

At the moment Flame Shadow took action.

Gu Chenfeng had already activated the Ancient Divine Power and then pointed into the air.

The fiercely charging Nether Beast, its wide-open mouth not yet biting down, had its massive body instantly shrouded by a terrifying force, halting it in place.

Both the Nether Beast and Flame Shadow were stunned on the spot.

"How is this possible?" the Nether Beast spoke in utter terror: "What kind of power is this? It can confine me instantly!"

"Has Gu Chenfeng's Divine Power become this monstrous?" Flame Shadow thought in shock: "Didn't he say he couldn't handle an Immortal Venerable yet?"

"Now, this Mid-Stage Immortal Beast can't even put up a fight, the Divine Power is too terrifying!"

What Flame Shadow didn't know was that after Gu Chenfeng broke through to Daluo Golden Immortal, the Ancient Divine Power had grown even stronger.

Flame Shadow was unaware of Gu Chenfeng's prior feats of slaying Immortal Venerables and battling Jing Tianyan, who wielded Late Stage of Immortal Venerable strength.

If he were aware, entering the Nether Immortal Valley, Flame Shadow wouldn't have had the slightest fear.

Gazing at the massive and terrified Immortal Beast in front of him.

Gu Chenfeng asked with a slight smile: "I have a question for you. What is that green light outside the cave? And what are those runes?"

The Nether Beast's whole body shuddered, its eyes widened in utter terror: "That green light is the mysterious light of restriction from the Nether Immortal Valley, those runes are ancient sealing Talismans, all to guard the treasures within the valley."

Gu Chenfeng squinted slightly and said: "Treasure? What treasure?"

The Nether Beast swallowed, saying: "It's rumored to be an Ancient Immortal Artifact with world-destroying power, but no one has ever truly obtained it."

Flame Shadow's eyes lit up with excitement: "Oh? An Ancient Immortal Artifact? No wonder this valley is so dangerous."

Gu Chenfeng looked at the Nether Beast and calmly asked: "Do you know how to break this restriction and seal?"

The Nether Beast hastily shook its head and said: "I don't know either, I only know this place is extremely perilous, a slight mistake will lead to annihilation."

Gu Chenfeng glanced at the Immortal Grass, smiling as he asked: "You have no objection if I take the Immortal Grass, do you?"

"None! Absolutely no objections!" The Nether Beast replied without hesitation: "There are quite a few such Immortal Grass in the Nether Immortal Valley, I can find more."

With such terrifying Ancient Divine Power, how would the Nether Beast dare object?

Flame Shadow interjected from the side: "What about the Netherworld Immortal Grass? Do you know where it is?"

The Nether Beast shivered and said: "The Netherworld Immortal Grass grows on the cliffs in the deepest part of the valley, where there is a powerful Guardian Array, and many fierce Immortal Beasts guarding around it."

After Gu Chenfeng obtained the Immortal Grass, he looked at the Nether Beast and said with a smile: "You're more familiar with this place, lead us there, just avoid the Guardian Array, with your strength, those fierce Immortal Beasts are nothing."

The Nether Beast looked troubled, horrified: "That place is too dangerous, going there is like courting death, there are stronger Immortal Beasts in the deep."

Gu Chenfeng's Divine Power pressure suddenly exploded out, sneering: "Take us there, or die, make your choice."

"I'll take you! I'll take you!" The Nether Beast replied in terror. Under the terrifying power, it dared not resist and obediently led the way ahead.

Along the way, guided by the Nether Beast, Gu Chenfeng and his group avoided various deadly traps and venomous creatures.

Numerous powerful Immortal Beasts, upon seeing the Nether Beast, fled in fright. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

After about half an hour.

Gu Chenfeng and his group finally reached the deepest part of the Nether Immortal Valley safely.

The Nether Beast said: "We are here."

Flame Shadow breathed a sigh of relief: "This place is truly a nine-deaths-one-life situation, there are so many Immortal Emperor level Immortal Beasts, without strong enough strength, I'd really not dare enter."

Gu Chenfeng activated a trace of Ancient Divine Power, carefully sensing the surroundings.

"Ancient Divine Power can sense faint auras," Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought: "In the valley ahead, there's a terrifyingly strong Immortal Beast, and there's also a faint power of an Array."

"Continue leading the way," Flame Shadow said quickly: "Let's find the Netherworld Immortal Grass and leave this haunted place as soon as possible."

The Nether Beast pointed not far ahead and said: "The valley ahead is the true Nether Immortal Valley, on the cliffs of those mountains, Netherworld Immortal Grass may grow, but I'm not sure if there is any."

"The Guardian Array is in the Immortal Valley, many who entered the valley, both cultivators and Immortal Beasts, have died there, I dare not go in."

Gu Chenfeng observed the towering peaks surrounding the valley, carefully sensing with Ancient Divine Power.

But to Gu Chenfeng's disappointment, he could not sense any aura of Immortal Grass.

Flame Shadow asked again: "What does the Netherworld Immortal Grass look like?"

The Nether Beast replied: "I also don't know what it looks like, I haven't seen it either, but the Netherworld Immortal Grass emits a purple glow, you should recognize it if you see it."

Just then.

Suddenly, low growls of Immortal Beasts echoed around.

"Soul-devourers!" The Nether Beast exclaimed: "We're in trouble."

"Soul-devourers?" Flame Shadow furrowed his brow deeply, becoming alert.

The Nether Beast explained: "Soul-devourers are the only Immortal Beast race in the Nether Immortal Valley, numbering in the tens of thousands, once targeted, death is certain, even I have little chance against them."

Flame Shadow asked in horror: "Is the Soul-devouring Beast Race also of Immortal Venerable level?"

The Nether Beast suppressed its trepidation and replied: "Their Clan Leader is at the Early Stage of Immortal Venerable, though weaker than me, they can continuously devour the enemy's Primordial Spirit during battle, it's the racial Divine Skill of the Soul-devourers."

"Devouring Primordial Spirit in battle?" Gu Chenfeng was astonished, not anticipating such terrifying Immortal Beasts.

"Exactly!" The Nether Beast nodded: "Fighting Soul-devourers is practically seeking death, even if you kill them, a large part of your Primordial Spirit will be devoured."

Before long.

Blood-red eyes appeared in the complex mountain forests around them, followed by numerous ferocious-looking black four-legged beasts emerging.

The Soul-devourers were all emanating extremely powerful auras.

"Roar roar roar!"

The surrounding Soul-devourers roared as they charged, their ferocious faces filled with bloodlust, their gazes extremely terrifying.

"They can autonomously devour our Primordial Spirit! We must finish this quickly!" The Nether Beast hurriedly said, unleashing its terrifying Immortal Power to the fullest.

Flame Shadow unleashed his Immortal Power fully, fiercely saying: "At most, they're Immortal Monarch level, I want to see how strong they really are."

However.

Before the Nether Beast and Flame Shadow could act.

Gu Chenfeng suddenly stomped the ground, and the domineering terrible Ancient Divine Power erupted instantly. Blinding golden light forcibly dispersed the thick fog, and simultaneously blasted the approaching Soul-devourers away.
