Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1015: We Can’t Afford to Provoke Him

The next day.

Immortal Soul Divine Hall.

Inside the main hall.

The Second Guardian appeared in a flash, then knelt on one knee and respectfully reported: "Report to the Hall Master, I have found the owner of the Mysterious Power."

Luo Immortal Soul slightly furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

The Second Guardian respectfully replied: "While investigating the Mysterious Power in the Immortal Realm, many people mentioned sensing a very peculiar and terrifying power in the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, but no one knew the owner of the Mysterious Power."

"It wasn’t until I went to the Divine Realm and inquired at the Thunder Immortal Sect, that I learned the owner of the Mysterious Power is named Gu Chenfeng!"

Upon hearing this.

Luo Immortal Soul and the Elders’ faces changed dramatically.

Luo Immortal Soul’s eyes widened, filled with horror, and said: "What? Gu Chenfeng?"

"Gu Chenfeng?" The three Elders’ old faces were full of terror.

"How is this possible?" Luo Immortal Soul restrained his fear and said incredulously: "Gu Chenfeng crossed tribulation and ascended ten thousand years ago; how can it be him? He couldn’t possibly be in the Immortal Realm."

From Luo Immortal Soul and the three Elders’ terrified expressions, one could see they not only knew Gu Chenfeng but were also very apprehensive of him.

Luo Immortal Soul would never forget that terrifying battle in ancient times.

In that battle, Gu Chenfeng fought against five with the power of one, defeating five late-stage demigod powerhouses with his terrifying strength, shaking the Immortal Realm, and causing the Immortal Realm to be terrified.

Among the five late-stage demigod powerhouses, Luo Immortal Soul was one of them.

Luo Immortal Soul knew better than anyone how terrifying Gu Chenfeng’s power was.

Unless he died, he could never forget that battle that struck endless fear into him.

Seeing Luo Immortal Soul and the Elders’ terrified expressions, the Second Guardian quickly said: "I was also frightened when I heard at that time, but the Thunder Old Ancestor said this Gu Chenfeng is a youngster of sixteen or seventeen."

"I guess it must be someone with the same name, not the Ancient Venerable of those days."

Hearing this.

The terrified Luo Immortal Soul and the three Elders all sighed a long breath of relief, as if granted a great pardon.

However.

Thinking of the Mysterious Power being even more terrifying than Ancient Immortal Power, Luo Immortal Soul’s face once again showed a look of terror, exclaiming: "The Mysterious Power is more frightening than Ancient Immortal Power, it can only be Gu Chenfeng’s power."

The Second Guardian respectfully said again: "The Hall Master is right, the Mysterious Power is indeed Gu Chenfeng’s power, but this youngster is the descendant of Gu Chenfeng, so he is also named Gu Chenfeng."

"Gu Chenfeng’s descendant?" Luo Immortal Soul and the three Elders were shocked again.

The Second Guardian respectfully said: "The Thunder Old Ancestor intended to seize Gu Chenfeng’s power, but with his late-stage demigod strength, he was defeated by Gu Chenfeng and nearly killed by him."

"Exactly because this power is extremely terrifying, that’s why the Great Guardian was killed by him."

Hearing this.

An Elder looked at Luo Immortal Soul, suppressing his terror, and asked: "Hall Master, what should we do?"

Before Luo Immortal Soul could speak.

The Great Elder quickly said: "Let this matter rest; Gu Chenfeng’s power is too terrifying. Back then, five late-stage demigods together couldn’t defeat him. If we provoke his descendant, I’m afraid all of us will die."

Luo Immortal Soul took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, frowned, and said: "Gu Chenfeng’s strength far surpasses ours; indeed, we cannot provoke him."

"Even though Gu Chenfeng has ascended, we cannot touch his descendant. Otherwise, once he finds out, the Immortal Soul Divine Hall will surely be destroyed."

"Hall Master, is the Great Guardian’s death in vain?" The Second Guardian quickly said, looking unwilling.

Luo Immortal Soul slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Gu Chenfeng, we cannot afford to provoke."

The Second Guardian hurriedly said: "Hall Master, Thunder Old Ancestor battled with that kid and also injured him, indicating his strength is only slightly stronger than the Great Guardian’s, posing no threat to us."

"If we take action, we can definitely kill Gu Chenfeng and seize his power. Once the Hall Master obtains Gu Chenfeng’s power, there would be a sure chance of crossing tribulation. By that time, do we need to fear Gu Chenfeng?"

"Seize power? Crossing tribulation?" Luo Immortal Soul frowned deeply, falling into contemplation.

"This..." The three Elders exchanged glances.

Seeing Luo Immortal Soul and the three Elders not refute, the Second Guardian added more: "The Hall Master is a peak late-stage demigod powerhouse, combined with the three Elders, they can definitely kill Gu Chenfeng."

"Moreover, we can also ask the Immortal Slaying Divine Hall for help. I don’t believe, with so many powerhouses, we can’t deal with just him alone."

"Our Immortal Soul Divine Hall has inherited for hundreds of thousands of years in the Immortal Realm; how can we allow a youngster to trample on us?"

Hearing this.

Luo Immortal Soul stayed silent, unsure of what he was thinking inside.

The Great Elder frowned deeply, saying gravely: "Hall Master, what the Second Guardian said makes sense. Back then, it was by relying on his powerful force that Gu Chenfeng could fight against five."

"Since his power has been passed on to his descendant, this is our opportunity. The Immortal Soul Divine Hall is now the strongest overlord in the Immortal Realm and need not fear anyone."

"Gu Chenfeng has already crossed tribulation and ascended. He couldn’t possibly return, and even if he did come back to the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t do anything to us. The Immortal Realm has Immortal Realm Envoys, and stronger worlds naturally have powerful controllers."

"The Great Elder is right!" The Second Guardian quickly said: "Hall Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, absolutely not to be missed, and Gu Chenfeng’s power must help the Hall Master successfully cross tribulation."

The eyes of the three Elders and the Second Guardian were all on Luo Immortal Soul at this moment.

Luo Immortal Soul, with a heavy expression, finally spoke after a long while: "We know nothing about Gu Chenfeng’s descendant; we cannot rashly make a move. Send someone to monitor discreetly first."

"Second Guardian, this matter is entrusted to you. Try to find out more information about Gu Chenfeng’s descendant."

"Yes, Hall Master!" The Second Guardian accepted the command respectfully, his face showing some excitement.

Luo Immortal Soul then heavily said: "Before taking action, this Hall Master still needs to awaken that mighty figure, just in case."

Luo Immortal Soul was obviously very interested in Gu Chenfeng’s power as well.

As the Second Guardian said, if he truly could seize Gu Chenfeng’s terrifying power, Luo Immortal Soul could cross tribulation anytime, then he would not need to fear Gu Chenfeng at all.

"What? Summon the ancestor?" The three Elders all exclaimed simultaneously.

The Third Elder hurriedly said: "Hall Master, it’s just dealing with Gu Chenfeng’s descendant, there’s no need to alarm that mighty figure, is there?"

"Hall Master, absolutely not." The Great Elder said in panic: "If that mighty figure takes action, the consequence would be unimaginable, and by then, Gu Chenfeng’s power might be taken by him too."

"It’s just in case." Luo Immortal Soul frowned and said gravely: "Gu Chenfeng’s power has exceeded our scope of understanding; no one knows his power’s terror better than this Hall Master."

"Without absolute certainty, this Hall Master will not easily make a move. Once taking action, there will be no mercy, even if in the end, Gu Chenfeng’s power is not obtained."
