485: The empress breaks through to the immortal level!

Above the sky, the tribulation clouds were thick.

Divine Tribulation Lightning surged freely within the tribulation clouds!

"It truly is the Empress breaking through to the Immortal Rank. The Heavenly Punishment Qi on her is so incredibly powerful and overbearing. Moreover, her head can faintly open a high-dimensional space to absorb the Heavenly Punishment Qi from within. Could it be that she also received a Great Inheritance?"

Guo Feng flew over and saw the Empress, her aura like a dragon, standing between heaven and earth.

A Refining Heaven King Cauldron, burning with flames, circled around her body.

It seemed that this cauldron had indeed become one with the Empress!

Human and cauldron had merged!

Moreover, Guo Feng also sensed that the Empress was continuously absorbing Heavenly Punishment Qi from another space.

This made the Heavenly Punishment Qi around her grow even denser.

It was so intense that people dared not look directly at it.

At this moment, not only had he arrived, but Kuang Yin and the crew also came to observe the ceremony, their faces filled with excitement.

They had never expected to witness two Immortal Tribulations in their lifetime.

Just then, the Empress, holding her staff, glanced at Guo Feng and smiled.

Then, her face hardened as she looked at the tribulation clouds, "Heavenly Tribulation, come forth! Let me use your power to refine my Heavenly Punishment Qi!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she directly rushed into the clouds.

Human and cauldron merged.

With a punch and a staff strike, she actually wrestled with the heavenly lightning, forcefully shattering the Divine Tribulation Lightning.

Then, the Refining Heaven King Cauldron directly absorbed it, rapidly refining it and transforming it into Heavenly Punishment Qi, which merged into Hua Shangyue's body.

Divine Tribulation Lightning descended one after another!

Hua Shangyue was not only unharmed but was continuously growing stronger.

Her Immortal Power was constantly increasing.

"What?!"

Guo Feng was stunned. He considered himself an unrivaled genius, and beating up heavenly lightning during tribulation was extremely rare.

Good heavens!

Hua Shangyue not only beat up the heavenly lightning but also absorbed it for her own use.

This not only enhanced her Immortal Power, but in the future, the power of thunder contained within her Heavenly Punishment Qi would probably be unmatched by anyone at the same rank!

This was truly defying the heavens!

Not only was he dumbfounded, but Kuang Yin and the crew were also dumbfounded.

How could this husband and wife be so heaven-defying?

Wasn't anyone going to rein them in?

Amidst everyone's shock, Hua Shangyue had already been battling in the sky for a long time!

Heavenly lightning was shattered!

Her strength rapidly increased!

Approximately ten minutes later, the ninety-ninth bolt of heavenly lightning descended and was blasted apart by Hua Shangyue.

Then, the tribulation clouds dispersed.

Golden flowers, golden lotuses, and seven-colored rainbows immediately emerged in the sky, and the clouds transformed into various auspicious omens.

Faintly, there seemed to be the sound of gongs and drums.

And Hua Shangyue's aura was also transforming, emitting a rich Immortal Qi.

Her originally overbearing presence now also exuded a hint of ethereal grace.

A faint glow emanated from her, revealing a touch of divinity.

She then stepped directly in front of Guo Feng and said with a smile, "Guo Feng, I've also reached Immortal Rank One, and by accident, I'm already at the peak of the first layer of Rank One, just one step away from entering the second layer."

"Oh? Are you showing off, or are you making a display of power?"

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.

Hua Shangyue smiled, "You can interpret it however you like. Moreover, I've already merged with the Refining Heaven King Cauldron. As long as you give me the refining heaven crimson jade, I can immediately break through to Rank One, Layer Three!"

"Heh heh."

Guo Feng chuckled, "Let me put it this way: I possess the Haotian Holy Body, making me invincible at the same rank. That is to say, within Immortal Rank One, no one is my opponent."

He paused, "Moreover, I have obtained the true inheritance of the Great Sumeru Dao, and my comprehension seems to be higher than your Great Heavenly Punishment Way. Furthermore, I have cultivated the Earth Sovereign True Body of the Great Five Elements Way, making me virtually immortal. And with the Ninefold Haotian Pagoda protecting my head, who can kill me?"

He finally smiled, "So, woman, what you just said was playing with fire."

"Hmph."

Hua Shangyue rolled her eyes at Guo Feng, but she also knew that what Guo Feng said was true.

However, she just wanted to hear a compliment.

Who knew this fellow would be so unromantic.

She waved her hand, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

She paused and asked, "What do we do next?"

"I will first use the power of the Great Sumeru to pull the Sumeru Land and Sumi Sect back from the void to the Chaos Continent. The Sumeru Altar has disappeared, so there's little point in them remaining in the void."

Guo Feng immediately said, "Afterward, we'll return to the Imperial Capital. With the two of us, two Immortal Rank One powerhouses, guarding the Imperial Capital, it won't be a problem to make the people of the Nine Great Empires bow in submission. Even the people of the Chaotic Empire will come here obediently to receive their punishment."

"You're even more confident than I am."

Hua Shangyue rolled her eyes at him, "The Chaotic Empire can connect to the Chaotic Immortal Realm, and there are countless Immortal Rank powerhouses in the Chaotic Immortal Realm. What if they truly descend?"

Guo Feng chuckled, "In all these years, have you seen a single Immortal Rank powerhouse?"

He paused, "I suspect that even if they can return, there are conditions. Or perhaps, there's something on the Chaos Continent that makes them wary. Otherwise, the Mortal Realm is the foundation of the Immortal Realm; they wouldn't possibly let it go unchecked."

"We'll see then."

Hua Shangyue waved her hand, "You handle the important matters first."

"Mm."

Guo Feng nodded, and then he directly told Kuang Yin and the crew to leave first.

Then, he activated the power of the Great Sumeru, merging with the Sumeru Land, triggering the array patterns within it.

It turned out that when he received the inheritance, he also learned about the situation of the Sumeru Land.

He only needed to use the power of the Great Sumeru to activate the array.

Triggering the 'Mustard Seed Holds Sumeru' technique.

Then, he could bring the Sumeru Land and Sumi Sect back to the Chaos Continent.

Indeed, as he cast hand seals one after another, the array patterns of the Sumeru Land emerged.

With a wave of his hand.

In an instant, the Sumeru Land and Sumi Sect rapidly shrunk.

As if they were contained within a mustard seed.

And Guo Feng suddenly appeared in the void.

Fortunately, the entrance and exit were still there.

Moreover, he was enveloped by the aura of the Great Sumeru, preventing the surrounding void power from invading.

Owooo, Owooo...

As soon as the Sumeru Land and Sumi Sect were brought into the mustard seed, Guo Feng saw the full panorama of the void.

It was a vast darkness.

Occasionally, some areas appeared purple, dark gold, and other colors.

In the distance, there seemed to be some terrifyingly large void creatures, emitting various strange sounds.

Just a short distance from him, a void rift suddenly appeared.

Immediately, a tremendous suction force emanated from it.

Some scattered giant meteorites and some huge corpses in the void all surged towards that void rift.

Bolts of lightning suddenly struck!

"Go!"

Seeing this, Guo Feng's heart pounded with fear. This void was indeed not a place to linger.

Once swallowed by a void rift,

Who knew where he would be teleported to!

Any one of the void monsters here was incredibly powerful and terrifying.

If he were caught by a claw, he would probably die.

He didn't hesitate at all, no longer 'admiring' this strange void scenery, and immediately teleported, rushing into the exit.

Whoosh—

The scenery before his eyes changed.

He returned to a spot several hundred kilometers near Sumeru City, and then the exit completely disappeared.

The Sumi Sect token also shattered with a bang.

And he flicked his finger.

The Sumi Sect, now contained within the mustard seed, instantly merged with this vast mountainous area.

Forming the expansive Sumi Sect mountain gate and inner territory.

The earth shook violently along with it!

This commotion lasted for a full hour before it ended.

The Sumi Sect had appeared!

At this moment, Kuang Yin and the crew flew over and bowed to Guo Feng: "Congratulations, Wind King, on bringing the Sumi Sect back. From now on, the Sumi Sect can widely recruit disciples and flourish."

Kuang Yin then said, "Wind King, I have something I wish to discuss with you."

"Speak."

Guo Feng waved his hand.

Kuang Yin hastily said, "The Evil Demon King has escaped pursuit, and the demonic path and demonic creatures throughout the world are stirring. The world is about to descend into great chaos."

"I propose!"

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, "I recommend the Wind King as the leader of all sects on the Chaos Continent, to wield authority over all sects in the world, to command the heroes, and to resist the invasion of evil demons!"

"What?!"

Not just the others, but Kuang Yin's words startled Guo Feng himself!
