# Chapter 2211: Gu Xuantian
On the platform of the Celestial Gathering, the light curtain shattered. Gu Xuantian and nine other powerful figures stepped through the void, advancing toward the platform. At this moment, a terrifying pressure radiated outward.
Lin Feng and the others opened their eyes, their gazes frozen. Clearly, they had not anticipated encountering such a situation after the Celestial Gathering had concluded—the ten great Divine Palaces, joining forces.
Kong Ming's expression was solemn, his hands clasped together as if nothing could disturb the tranquility of his mind. Around him, golden Buddhist light blazed brilliantly, half the sky seemingly bathed in the luster of Buddhist teachings. Sanskrit sounds rolled forth like supreme Buddhist doctrines.
Chu Chunqiu's gaze was sharp, his battle intent soaring to the heavens. The experts of the Divine Palaces were undoubtedly extremely formidable figures. Such opponents were rare.
"Since I didn't take first place in the Celestial Gathering, it seems I still have a chance to make a name for myself in the Celestial Realm," Zhou Rongman said with a grin at this scene. If he could take down a few monstrous prodigies from the Divine Palaces, it would definitely be something to bring glory to his ancestors. At a time like this, only he could still smile so brightly.
The others all wore grave expressions. They were all geniuses from various factions who had participated in the Celestial Gathering to secure high rankings—first, to temper their strength, and second, to gain entry into the Divine Palaces. The figures they were about to clash with were themselves terrifying geniuses of the Divine Palaces. One could imagine how difficult the upcoming confrontation would be.
The Prophet seemed to have no intention of stopping them, calmly observing from above. This left many somewhat puzzled. However, with the experts of ten Divine Palaces descending together, even if the Prophet wanted to intervene, it would likely not be easy. Moreover, if they knew that at this very moment, the masters of all the Divine Palaces had gathered at the Fate Temple, drinking tea with the master of the Fate Temple, who knew what they would think.
"I want this one." The ten figures hovered in midair. One of them pointed his finger at Lin Feng. His black robe billowed, and he stood like a peerless demon lord, staring at Lin Feng. The battle intent in his pitch-black pupils was extremely intense.
"The quality of this Celestial Gathering is quite good. You've mastered several ancient saint techniques, and your offensive power is impressive. You took first place in the Celestial Gathering. Let me see how much of my strength I need to use against you." Gu Xuantian stared at Lin Feng, speaking coldly. These geniuses selected from the Nine Heavens Continent intrigued him greatly.
Lin Feng looked at Gu Xuantian. In the other's hand, a pitch-black long spear appeared. It was like a demon god's spear, wreathed in terrifying demonic intent that rolled and surged, captivating the soul. A single thrust could easily pierce through and kill a person. At the same time, an oppressive demonic might pressed down on Lin Feng—the domineering will of a king. The man before him was like an arrogant demon king.
"I also want to see how powerful a monstrous prodigy of the Demon Divine Palace truly is," Lin Feng said. A terrifying battle intent radiated from him. In his hand, a massive pitch-black demonic sword appeared, wreathed in fearsome demonic light.
Meanwhile, Huo Xing had set his sights on Ling Huang. The flame aura radiating from Ling Huang made a hint of greed appear in Huo Xing's eyes. He was Huo Xing, the Lord of Flames. Ling Huang's flames could make his own strength even greater. The experts of the other Divine Palaces also found their respective opponents. In an instant, the space was filled with oppressive, howling winds that roared like wailing ghosts and howling wolves.
"So strong." At this moment, all ten of the Celestial Gathering's top figures felt the power of the opponents standing before them. Lin Feng was no exception.
Gu Xuantian held his Demon King Spear and stepped forward one step at a time. With each step, a roaring demonic shadow appeared behind him, identical to his own figure. After ten steps, ten figures of Gu Xuantian stood there. The howling demonic might grew increasingly terrifying, its power immeasurable.
"That demonic might grows stronger with every step he takes." The crowd's eyes were fixed on Gu Xuantian. Because Lin Feng had taken first place in the Celestial Gathering, the most attention was focused on his battle. Just from Gu Xuantian's aura, one could feel his power. That demonic might, his gaze—both were extremely intimidating.
On Lin Feng's body, the Holy Spirit Sword howled wildly, condensing and merging into the demonic sword in his palm. Sword intent roared furiously, sweeping across heaven and earth.
Gu Xuantian's steps suddenly quickened. The demonic shadows seemed to overlap and merge. The terrifying Demon King Spear suddenly thrust out. In that instant, the roaring demonic might converged. The spears in the hands of those demonic shadows all merged together, charging forward without hesitation, striking toward Lin Feng. The roaring demonic might contained within the spear was enough to make one's heart tremble.
Lin Feng felt a wild and boundless domineering vortex rolling toward him. His expression darkened. He suddenly stepped forward, and the massive sword stabbed out fiercely. A kingly weapon intent radiated wildly, its sharpness soaring to the heavens.
"Thud!" The spear struck the sword. The void trembled incessantly. Lin Feng felt a roaring force spreading through his arm. His heart tightened. His strength was extremely formidable, and stabbing out directly with the sword was like divine power. Yet his arm still felt immense pressure, while the hand holding the spear remained as steady as a rock.
"Break!" Gu Xuantian roared. In an instant, the spear in his hand seemed to transform into a wild and domineering demon king, roaring as it charged toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt demon kings rolling toward him, howling and roaring.
"Get lost!" Lin Feng opened his mouth and bellowed. Endless sound waves rolled out, blasting forth. In an instant, the demon kings in the void seemed to be crushed into nothingness. Demonic laws surged and roared wildly, their power unimaginably terrifying.
"So strong. Lin Feng truly deserves to be first in the Celestial Gathering. The killing power of his sound waves is terrifying. But this Gu Xuantian is also incredibly formidable. The might of a single spear thrust contains multiple profound variations. If Lin Feng weren't so powerful, that one thrust would have put him at a disadvantage." The crowd's hearts tightened. Gu Xuantian, a top monstrous prodigy of the Demon Divine Palace at the Martial Emperor Realm. They silently committed this name to memory. Even in the world above, he was likely a figure of great renown.
Gu Xuantian was indeed extremely renowned. He was one of the strongest of the current generation of Martial Emperor Realm cultivators trained by the Demon Divine Palace. He had swept through countless experts and created countless legends. Just the act of pulling out dragon sinews had made the world tremble.
Seeing his second profound variation destroyed, a terrifying demonic might gleamed in Gu Xuantian's deep eyes. He spoke: "First place in the Celestial Gathering is indeed very strong."
As his words fell, he stepped forward. With a thunderous boom, the heaven-dominating demonic might roared wildly. His strength and combat power seemed to surge. The spear in his hand suddenly shattered, then transformed into twelve terrifying spears. In an instant, they shot toward Lin Feng simultaneously. Each spear seemed to transform into a black dragon, howling as it charged at Lin Feng. That roar alone could shake a person to death.
"Ah..." In Shen Xiao City, someone let out a scream, feeling as if their head was about to explode. That roar could kill a person's soul.
"So terrifying." Many people closed their senses, their hearts pounding.
"How can Lin Feng possibly withstand this?" Countless thoughts flashed through the crowd's minds in an instant. But at that moment, Lin Feng's eyes became profoundly deep, transforming into demon king pupils, extremely terrifying. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward. The massive sword in his hand struck out fiercely, shooting toward the opponent.
"Roar!" Lin Feng opened his mouth wide, like a dragon's roar. Heaven and earth shook. Spears shattered, but not all were destroyed.
"Break!" Lin Feng roared wildly. A massive battle axe appeared before him, slashing out fiercely, splitting the spears apart. Kingly weapon aura radiated. At the same time, the thrusting massive sword forced Gu Xuantian back, and the distance between them widened again.
"Whew... I didn't expect to encounter a battle of this level after the Celestial Gathering ended." Countless people clenched their fists, their hearts pounding.
"Lin Feng!" Qing Feng's beautiful eyes showed a hint of tension. Although Lin Feng had forced Gu Xuantian back, Gu Xuantian's strength was terrifying. Everyone could feel that unparalleled, domineering demonic might. A single spear thrust could produce such terrifying deterrence. That Lin Feng had to face it with full concentration proved the opponent's power.
Hou Qinglin and the others were also tense. So formidable. Not just Gu Xuantian—Jin Xing and the others were all top-tier figures. They realized that although they had participated in the Celestial Gathering and witnessed countless geniuses, that didn't mean much. Within those Divine Palaces standing at the peak, there were still many terrifying figures overlooking the masses. They were the true pursuit of countless martial cultivators.
"Brother." Yao Yao's gaze was fixed on Ling Huang's position. As the number one ruler of the Dan Celestial Realm, Ling Huang's strength was also extremely formidable. But at this moment, under Jin Xing's attacks, he was in constant danger.
"Brother Lin Feng, don't let anything happen to any of you." Yao Yao glanced at Lin Feng again. Seeing that Lin Feng was not in danger, she breathed a sigh of relief. But her brother Ling Huang was in great danger. Not just Ling Huang—those ranked lower were all in danger, completely suppressed. Only Kong Ming, Chu Chunqiu, and Zhou Rongman could contend with their opponents. But who was stronger and who was weaker was still unclear. The strongest combat power had not yet been unleashed.
Gu Xuantian stared at Lin Feng. His deep demonic eyes were like bottomless pits. A single glance was enough to terrify an opponent.
"First place in the Celestial Gathering truly did not disappoint me. Prepare to unleash your strongest power. This is far from enough." Gu Xuantian's voice was cold. He was very eager to witness the power Lin Feng had displayed when fighting Kong Ming earlier. Because the light curtain had separated them, he couldn't know exactly how strong their battle power was, only relying on feeling to speculate. But he had always had absolute confidence in his own strength, even when facing other experts of the Divine Palaces!
