"Greetings, Supreme Emperor!"
Within the Demon Suppression Immortal City, Jiang Nanfeng replaced his battle armor with a blue long robe, exuding a somewhat scholarly elegance.
But the aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness emanating from him had not yet truly dissipated. The demonic aura swirled around him, a power accumulated from slaying countless demons.
Such a bloody demonic aura would easily infect an ordinary cultivator, driving them insane and making them cruel and bloodthirsty.
Jiang Nanfeng was not like that.
As the Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Jiang Nanfeng’s mind was resilient, unfazed by such traces of heaven and earth’s demonic aura.
"Commander Jiang performed exceptionally in this battle, slaying many demons, earning great merit."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Jiang Nanfeng and praised him without reservation.
Jiang Nanfeng’s performance was evident in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
From command to combat prowess, Jiang Nanfeng was unparalleled.
Gu Qingfeng naturally was quite satisfied.
"Resisting demons is inherently the duty of the Demon Suppression Bureau; I dare not claim credit!"
"Though that’s true, my role is always to reward merit..." As Gu Qingfeng said this, he directly used his vital energy to lift a demon core to Jiang Nanfeng.
"This is a Saint Realm demon core; I bestow it to you."
"With your cultivation, refining the demon core should help you reach above the seventh layer of the Dao Palace realm without issue.
The Divine Martial Dynasty now has too few strong individuals. Without enough foundation, hoping to resist a demon invasion would be a luxury.
Though I guard this Demon Suppression Immortal City, if a strong demon emperor-level opponent appears, I will find it difficult to intervene.
Therefore, to truly resist the demons, we must rely on your strength."
Gu Qingfeng’s words made Jiang Nanfeng, who initially wanted to modestly decline, no longer hesitate. He directly grasped the Saint Realm demon core.
He kneeled on one knee before Gu Qingfeng, his expression serious and resolute.
"Rest assured, Supreme Emperor, the Demon Suppression Bureau will spare no effort to suppress the demons. Even if it means a thousand deaths, we will not retreat half a step!"
"I look forward to your future performance."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, then waved Jiang Nanfeng away.
He opened the information panel for a look.
There were no significant changes in the Gu Family offspring matters.
Since the demon invasion began, the frequency of demon attacks on him had greatly increased, and he had suffered severe injuries, narrowly escaping death several times.
This was quite normal.
Many strong individuals of the Demon Clan had revived, including top beings like the Hanhai Demon Emperor.
In front of such mighty beings, even the Great Saint’s remnant soul within Gu Xiu was utterly insignificant.
Not to mention a wisp of a Great Saint’s remnant soul.
Even in his prime, Emperor Extreme Great Saint was insignificant before the Hanhai Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperors are paralleled with Quasi Emperors.
The gap between a Great Saint and such beings is evident.
Gu Qingfeng currently couldn’t contact Gu Xiu.
Moreover, from the information panel content.
Although the frequency of attacks Gu Xiu faced had increased and he had faced danger multiple times, he always retained some strength.
Having survived in the Demon Realm for so many years.
Gu Xiu was no longer comparable to before.
Observing the Death Soldier’s information panel.
The content was much richer.
Demonic forces invaded en masse.
Many Death Soldiers battled demons, while numerous sealed Evil Spirits were awakening one after another, aggravating the disaster caused by evil spirits.
With the demon invasion ahead.
Chaos from Evil Spirits behind.
The Ancient Desolate World was in a state of disarray, as the information panel clearly showed.
Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes, silently comprehending the Great Tao of heaven and earth.
During the demon invasion, Gu Qingfeng vaguely sensed some subtle changes in the world.
The previously absolute suppression by the Heavenly Dao seemed to have loosened somewhat.
Gu Qingfeng had some silent speculation.
The End of Dharma Era.
Could it be coming to an early end?
After all, the End of Dharma Era is so named because Heavenly Dao suppresses this era, preventing all beings from advancing beyond the Dao Palace realm.
No matter how astonishing a powerhouse you are or how extraordinary your talents, you cannot shake the Heavenly Dao even a little.
This era of blocked paths is called the End of Dharma.
As Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation deepened, he formed some personal views on the Heaven and Earth End Times.
The so-called End of Dharma Era is a process of self-accumulation for heaven and earth.
A millennium of accumulation.
Followed by a three-thousand-year burst.
Is to accumulate extensively and unleash sparingly.
The ten-thousand-year End of Dharma Era is heaven and earth’s preparation for the final three-thousand-year golden age.
Like a reincarnation.
Now with the Demon Clan’s invasion, it might be accelerating the Heavenly Dao’s accumulation, naturally leading the End of Dharma Era to gradually recede, heralding the return of the golden age.
"The greatest change brought by the Demon Clan’s invasion is slaughter!"
"If the End of Dharma Era is a process of heaven’s self-accumulation, the true foundation accumulated by heaven lies in the multitude of beings living within it!"
"When beings step into the path of cultivation, their great power returns to themselves, but this power actually originates from heaven and earth."
"This means, all beings are plunderers in the eyes of heaven and earth, and when they fall, their power dissipates, returning to heaven and earth."
"The millennial accumulation is actually the innumerable beings who fell over the thousand years, giving heaven the foundation to step into the golden age again."
