Chapter 207: Lin Xuan Gets Miserably Scammed
"You..."
"Who exactly are you?"
Lin Xuan's pupils contracted as he watched in disbelief as his Immortal Cauldron was taken away.
He knew the Star-Seizing Hand had the power to capture sun, moon, and stars, and the ability to seal and ban treasures.
It was like the hand of a universe, capable of isolating and sealing everything.
But his Immortal Cauldron was an Immortal Artifact. So-called Immortal Artifacts were actually a general term—anything surpassing Divine Artifacts was called an Immortal Artifact.
And his Immortal Cauldron was equivalent to a Heavenly God Realm level treasure.
A single breath from it could shatter star systems, its power boundless and vast.
With his Divine Fire Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, even facing a Divine Fire Realm peak cultivator, Lin Xuan was confident he could suppress them.
Yet Gu Qing had easily taken it with a single Star-Seizing Hand.
"You're definitely not Gu Qing. What exactly are you?"
Lin Xuan's expression was grave, his tone certain.
He didn't believe someone in their thirties could cultivate to the Divine Fire Realm.
Yan Hongluo, Yao Yao, and Hong Luan also found this unbelievable, their expressions changing as they looked at Gu Qing, as if meeting him for the first time.
The master and disciple couldn't help but feel a sense of fear rising in their hearts. Gu Qing had hidden himself too deeply.
Being with Gu Qing was like keeping company with a tiger.
"Hongluo Sis, could he also have dual souls in one body?"
"What are you thinking? Do you think everyone is as cowardly as you?"
Yan Hongluo said impatiently.
From the aura Gu Qing was emanating, this was indeed Gu Qing's main body, including his soul.
Although they didn't know how Gu Qing had cultivated, Gu Qing was genuinely a young man in his thirties, without any doubt.
"Then..."
Yao Yao and Hong Luan felt their pupils quake.
What kind of old monster had they deceived?
"Don't overthink it. Gu Qing is full of vitality, his soul is young. He's just a young fellow in his thirties."
Yan Hongluo said with amazement.
Even though she had seen countless prodigies and monsters, she was still shocked by Gu Qing's talent.
Those so-called first-generation supreme beings, the ancient monsters who had sealed themselves away, couldn't compare to Gu Qing at all.
"That's good then..."
The two breathed a sigh of relief. Being young was good.
Gu Qing was so young, he couldn't be that bad no matter what.
"Who I am isn't important."
"Didn't you want to get rid of me? Coincidentally, I also want to kill you."
"Come out and fight."
After speaking, Gu Qing directly stepped into the boundless starry sky.
Anyway, his goal had been achieved. Yan Hongluo and Lin Xuan had already turned against each other.
Gu Qing no longer had any concerns.
Moreover, to kill a protagonist, he needed to do it himself.
Someone without mystical powers couldn't slay Lin Xuan.
"Fine, whether you're human or ghost, let's completely settle the grudge between us today."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's killing intent shot straight into the clouds.
Gu Qing had scammed him so miserably, treated him like a complete sucker. Almost every woman related to Gu Qing had swindled treasures from him.
This hatred, this enmity, was irreconcilable, a fight to the death.
Only if Gu Qing died could he possibly win back Yao Yao.
"Let's go."
Yan Hongluo grabbed Hong Luan and followed.
The Saint Realm and Divine Fire Realm cultivators of the Primordial Demon Sect walked out of their caves and followed.
The commotion from their earlier confrontation was too great. Even with formations protecting them, they were still alerted.
"Gu Qing, today I will kill you to avenge my disciples."
Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, coldly staring at Gu Qing, revealing a sinister killing intent in his eyes.
So what if he was at Divine Fire Realm peak?
His External Avatar wasn't just for show.
Earlier, having his Immortal Cauldron taken was only because he hadn't been prepared.
Besides, he had only used fifty percent of his strength earlier.
If he used his full cultivation, he didn't believe he couldn't defeat Gu Qing.
After all, he possessed over two hundred Supreme Bones and a Chaos Body, and cultivated top-tier techniques and divine abilities.
Moreover, he had many trump cards.
"Hah!"
Seeing Lin Xuan putting on airs, Gu Qing sneered and immediately executed the Star-Dou Divine Fist, transforming into thousands of stars.
The dead and silent boundless starry sky suddenly became like a descending universe, with myriad stars shining brilliantly.
Each brilliant star revealed undying and indestructible law runes.
Thousands of stars united, the fist's power boundless.
"Hmm?"
The moment Lin Xuan saw the Star-Dou Divine Fist, his scalp instantly exploded.
An Innate Divine Ability.
Another naturally-formed Innate Divine Ability!
Moreover, it was one that could transform into thousands, perfectly united, increasing power by a thousandfold!
Was Gu Qing even human?
Who could withstand such a terrifying divine ability?
"This..."
The onlookers, upon seeing the Star-Dou Divine Fist, even from across a galaxy, felt the terrifying power oppressing them to the point of suffocation.
Everyone's expressions turned horrified, waves of shock rising in their hearts.
Each person searched their mind but couldn't find words to describe the Star-Dou Divine Fist.
In fact, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed someone's divine ability could increase combat power a thousandfold.
"BOOM!"
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out as the entire galaxy was swept up in a storm of destruction.
Lin Xuan merged with his External Avatar and brought out all his treasures to defend, but in the end, he was still severely wounded by a single punch.
This was only because Lin Xuan had the protection of the Great Dao power. Otherwise, one punch would have obliterated him.
The Star-Dou Divine Fist perfectly demonstrated what it meant to break ten thousand techniques with one force.
Lin Xuan's divine abilities and treasures were as fragile as paper.
"How can there be such a terrifying divine ability in this world!?"
Lin Xuan's face was pale as he looked at Gu Qing with fear in his eyes.
He couldn't accept that someone could be this terrifying.
"There are many things you haven't seen."
While speaking, Gu Qing didn't pause at all. He pointed at Lin Xuan, the Shattered Star Finger gathering the power of thousands of stars, as if crushing the void itself.
"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"
Seeing this, Lin Xuan roared. His External Avatar communed with the world, borrowing power from heaven and earth.
A dharma form slowly materialized in the void, solidifying, like a Heavenly Emperor who ruled over all worlds.
With a boom, the two sides were evenly matched.
"Lin Xuan, with just this level of strength, you want to kill me?"
Gu Qing scoffed. Divine radiance surged around him, like a deity bathed in divine light, dominating the universe.
Gu Qing's gaze fell on Lin Xuan's External Avatar.
The External Avatar was indeed powerful, but it still hadn't surpassed the Divine Fire Realm.
It was still within Gu Qing's ability to handle.
Gu Qing's Dao Eye circulated divine light as he glanced at Lin Xuan's Great Dao barrier.
It was weaker than before.
In other words, this Great Dao power could be worn down.
"How can this be..."
Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with terror. How could even his External Avatar not suppress Gu Qing?
This was his strongest trump card.
Looking at the majestically powerful Gu Qing, Lin Xuan broke down.
Damn it, at the Star God Hall, he was suppressed by Zhi Meng.
Coming to the Primordial Demon Sect, he thought he was invincible, but Yan Hongluo whipped him awake, his face completely smashed.
Now, even Gu Qing, whom he considered an ant he could easily crush, was stronger than him.
Lin Xuan finally understood why Gu Qing dared to come find him alone.
It wasn't because he thought there were powerful experts secretly protecting him, but because Gu Qing himself was a powerful expert.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan gnashed his teeth, hating so much he was going crazy.
"You've already become a peak existence in this world, why would you still pretend to be a disciple?"
"You're despicable, you're shameless..."
His five disciples, who had limitless bright futures, were targeted by this schemer Gu Qing. They died so unjustly.
And him, he was scammed miserably.
The watching experts looked at each other, their expressions shocked. Nothing but shock.
Gu Qing's cultivation was simply terrifying.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
"Little enemy is too amazing."
Hong Luan looked at Gu Qing with peach blossom eyes full of worship, feeling like she was in an unreal dream.
After all, Gu Qing being at Divine Fire Realm peak was

already absurd enough.
Even more absurd was that at Divine Fire Realm peak, why would he still be a disciple?
Even Zhi Meng, hidden in the void, fell silent.
Her disciple's cultivation and combat power had unknowingly surpassed hers.
This feeling... was complicated.
"If you want to know so badly, why don't you ask your five useless disciples?"
Gu Qing unhesitatingly summoned the Yin-Yang Bracelet. Yin-Yang laws brushed through the void, assimilating everything.
