Wei Lin immediately looked sullen because he hated these overbearing words. Today was the glorious day of the return of his Xilin clan, and he should be smashing this native as easily as he would dry leaves and rotten wood. But now, it was taking too long and he was even being threatened by the other party.

“I’m just over here, come kill me!” the divine son of Xilin clan said in a cold tone.

Just in a short while, his energy aura became a lot more intense. A phoenix cry burst out like a clap of thunder as an enormous immortal bird appeared behind him, followed by an entire array of active volcanoes. It formed an extremely dreadful scene.

“Kill!”

Chu Feng shouted. He wanted to see every strategy the Xilin clan had and figure out their secret divine arts, but he also didn’t want to risk his life for too long. Therefore, without further concern, he decided to kill the enemy by using his trump card.

At this moment, energy stones balls emerged one after another—his outstanding energy forms—all of them fell forward in a rumble, poised to crush the opponent to death.

“Coming!”

“He had put his unique energy forms in to use!”

A lot of people whispered in astonishment because they had already conjectured that Chu Feng would put his almost peerless energy forms in use. This was a new type of energy form that had soared rapidly on the Dark Horse billboard, and it had already risen to approximately the 150th position.

This ranking was truly a little scary because it was against the whole universe, not just a ranking for a planet or a galaxy.

“I’m not afraid of you!” Wei Lin sneered.

The volcanoes behind him awoke in succession and started to gush lava. The divine phoenix also raised its head and emitted a world-shaking cry as it charged forward for the kill.

“Gosh, it’s Wei Lin’s energy form! I’m already feeling quite numb to this excitement, but he actually used his trump card right off the bat!”

At this moment, a lot of people cried out in astonishment.

The scene when Wei Lin had used the Heavenly Phoenix Fist was quite similar to the current one. Everyone thought he was using his fist arts back then, but he had, in fact, also utilized his energy forms.

The volcanoes were gushing lava as the divine phoenix rushed out from volcanic craters—all these visions actually came from Wei Lin’s energy form.

“How is this possible? This is practically a genuine painting! The energy forms of the divine son of Xilin clan are really too vivid and real!” someone exclaimed.

If this was his energy form, what would his scroll be like?

“Other than the volcanoes, there is even a divine phoenix. This is just too terrible!”

Amidst the cries of numerous people, Wei Lin displayed his frightfulness and power. There was extreme coldness in his eyes as he looked down on Chu Feng and swore to him as quickly as possible.

Activated by his fist arts and steered by his spirit, the energy forms sailed across the sky and crushed forward!

“Die!” he roared.

But his countenance changed immediately afterward because it didn’t turn out how he thought it would. What did he just see?

Chu Feng had activated 81 rough stone balls in one go. Only Wei Lin could see the indistinct entities appearing in each of them.

At such a short distance, Wei Lin could sense the pressure. He completely understood where Chu Feng’s confidence lay. There was a golden paper emerging in one of the stone balls and a chaos pond and green lotus appearing in the next—this was bad!

He felt his blood run cold!

“Attack!”

Chu Feng roared, and the 81 energy stone balls shot out along with his Eastern Violet Qi Fist which had incorporated the Flowing Light Fist and Chaotic Star Finger... he was utilizing all his abilities!

Wei Lin bellowed as he sensed the pressure. Even the volcanoes gushing with energy lava were the verge of exploding and the divine phoenix was whimpering under the suppression.

“Kill!” Chu Feng shouted again, 81 energy stone balls were no longer coarse. Their auras grew increasingly vigorous as they resonated with his first arts to violently suppress and kill the enemy.

Pfft!

Blood seeped out of the corner of Wei Lin’s mouth and, in the end, he even spat out a mouthful of blood as he staggered backward. His entire body was spasming because he simply couldn’t endure it.

Nevertheless, this was also sufficient to reflect his peerless strength.

Back when Chu Feng used tens of energy stone balls, Zhu Wuque, the prince of the Great Qi, Qi Yu, and the group of divine sons were either killed or suppressed.

But now, there were even more energy stone balls, but Wei Lin had managed to resist them.

“Ah...”

It was at this moment that Wei Lin roared with his hair in disarray. The energy inside his body had flared up and changed from red to dark purple as it surged and erupted from his body.

“Since you wanted to die, I’ll help you!” he roared.

“Oh no!”

At the back, Zhou Quan, the old woman, and the others were all in fear and trepidation because they sensed a frightening aura akin to a prehistoric beast coming into being.

The look of the divine sons and saintesses had also shifted. The only ones who could remain calm were the young god of the deity race and Qin Luoyin of Dameng Pure Land.

“Was Wei Lin restraining himself all along and hadn’t used his visualization-level energy?!” One of the divine sons was shocked, and he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Sentiments boiled over in the starry skies.

“Crap! The divine son of the Xilin clan is so powerful that he’s practically a young prehistoric sage beast!” Someone let out an odd cry on the Origin Beast Platform.

“Is this his actual strength? He deliberately stifled himself and wanted to battle with Chu Feng at the same level before, but now he’s been forced to show his true power!”

A lot of people realized that before this, Wei Lin wanted to carry on a huge Carefree Realm confrontation with Chu Feng. Though he did use the visualization level energy once or twice, it wasn’t all of it.

Now, however, he was forced into a situation where he had to put everything into use. His whole body was boiling over with energy and even the colors had changed—the dark purple energy surged with a terrifying aura.

However, Wei Lin was in a very bad mood now. He had been forced to use a higher level of energy to suppress and kill Chu Feng which violated his original intention.

At first, he had wanted to get rid of Chu Feng in front of everyone using only Carefree level energy.

Now that he had to attack without holding anything back, wouldn’t this mean he was inferior to Chu Feng in the battle of the same stage?

He was extremely aggravated. This battle had indeed received worldwide attention, but he didn’t feel any pleasure because this kind of situation wasn’t what he really wanted.

“I thought you would be really powerful, but as it turns out, you are merely thus. To suppress a lower realm with a higher realm, you consider this your invincible accomplishment?!” Chu Feng taunted.

“Realms are the most direct embodiment of one’s strength. Now, I’ll crush you!” Wei Lin roared. Since he had put the high-level visualization energy to use, he naturally would not restrain himself and would erupt in its entirety.

He hoped to kill Chu Feng in an instant in this kind of situation and make a clean sweep; he mustn’t give the other party another chance. Only in this way would he be able to redeem a little of his reputation.

If, with his visualization level energy, he still couldn’t kill Chu Feng and had to wage an arduous struggle as before he would undoubtedly become a disgraceful failure as the divine son of the Xilin clan.

Chu Feng’s body was shaken by the terrible energy. He took a couple of steps back and was almost blew away.

However, he did not panic. Both his hands were resonating as he put his formidable trump card to use. He shouted: “Look carefully! I’ll make you understand that it’s still not enough even though you’re in a higher realm than me and have used the energy of the visualization level. The so-called Xilin clan is nothing more than this!”

Chu Feng was using the resonance technique, and because of this, he had the confidence to defeat the strong as the weak!

Recently, he had risen abruptly to power and hunted dozens of divine sons and saintesses. The resonance technique was one of his most powerful aces, an exceptional wondrous technique.

In Chu Feng’s opinion, this was even better than the Eastern Violet Qi Fist and Heavenly Halberd Nine Forms, second only to his breathing technique.

Boom!

81 rough energy stone balls became different all of a sudden after being reinforced by the resonance technique. They burst out with a frightening aura, and the entities within them started to display a spiritual nature as they vibrated and shot forward continuously.

At the same time, Wei Lin’s volcanoes and divine phoenix were trembling in resonance. Then, they even started to crack and were on the verge of exploding.

This made him green about the gills and he felt a nip in the air. He activated his powers frantically to contend with Chu Feng to the very end.

How could this be possible?! He screamed at the bottom of his heart. He had used high visualization level energy regardless of his prestige, yet he still couldn’t crush Chu Feng? Was he going to be defeated?

One had to know that he was from Xilin clan, a race which boasted the most powerful innate talents in the universe. How could he be defeated by a native from earth?

“I’m the divine son of the Xilin clan. I must not be defeated by someone from this planet, because only I am the pure-blooded inheritor. You are the small fish here!” he raved in his heart because he was unreconciled.

However, the truth hurt. And the truth was that Wei Lin was no match for Chu Feng right now. In a loud bang, the volcanoes around him exploded and the divine phoenix whimpered as they began to collapse.

His entire body flew out while spraying blood from his mouth and nose. Even his eyes and ears were oozing blood, his body badly lacerated. It was quite a tragic scene.

“Oh my god! The divine son of Xilin clan couldn’t defeat Chu Feng, the chosen one of that declined planet, even after using higher realm energy?!”

People were crying out in surprise because this scene was very shocking.

In today’s battle, the most interesting thing was the identity of the two, because tracing back to their origins, they were actually from the bloodline of this planet. One of them was claimed to be orthodox lineage and the other, a declined descendant. But after a fierce battle, the man from the fallen land had actually won?

“Brother!” Wei Xuan cried out in fear. Before this, she had never imagined her brother being defeated.

“Kill!” Wei Lin roared. His eyes were bright red in color and his killing intent surged to the skies. He had suffered enough humiliation and frustration with that last strike. He had indeed completely lost his prestige on this meticulously prepared ceremony—in this great public battle. How could he still maintain that holier-than-thou appearance and fight this so-called fair battle? He used everything he had at his disposal and proceeded to utilize all his killing techniques.

Boom!

Every single volcano around him gushed out lava while, at the same time, there were nine dazzling golden suns sailing across the sky and releasing energy. This was the scroll he painted.

“Chu Feng, I must kill you!” he groaned. He would still feel ashamed even if he managed to defeat Chu Feng today. Therefore, he could only kill Chu Feng in the shortest time to redeem a little of his face.

Bang!

Everyone was looking at Wei Lin in shock, while the nine golden suns around him sprung up nine divine birds—they were all immortal birds—they let out long cries and emitted a peerless aura.

“This was... Wei Lin’s invincible painting scroll!”

Everyone was in shock because it was indeed very frightful. A scroll with real phoenixes or dragons in them were absolutely terrifying. But now, there were actually nine immortal birds all of a sudden. That was ever more dreadful.

For some people, this was an exceptional scroll that had achieved minor invincibility.

Meanwhile, Wei Lin was visualizing and turning himself into a divine immortal bird which flew towards Chu Feng for the kill.

People near Kunlun and in the starry sky were all in shock. Wei Lin was indeed the divine son of the Xilin clan because these methods were all very heaven-defying.

He attacked Chu Feng, hoping to score the final hit in that instant!

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Chu Feng revealed his invincible painting scroll and no longer kept it hidden even though this meant that it would be seen in advance by the saint Wei Heng. He would still remain as fearless as before even if he had to engage in a showdown on the Origin Beast Platform.

At the same time, Chu Feng was also operating the Robber Induction Breathing Technique and the resonance technique. He had fully used all of his trump cards.

Pfft!

Everyone was trembling after witnessing the collision. Wei Lin, the visualization realm divine son of the Xilin Clan, screamed loudly—his picture scroll was torn and the immortal bird he had visualized was cracked and dripping with blood.

“Roar!”

Wei Lin roared and soared to the sky to flee. He was in horror because he knew that he was no match for Chu Feng and that he would surely die if he dared to collide with him again.

“What happened? What scroll is that? Why can’t I see it clearly?” a lot of people shouted weirdly.

“Oh god, Chu Feng has struck Wei Lin flying and shattered that nine phoenix scroll?”

The development quickly incited a thunderous commotion. Regardless of whether it was in Kunlun or the starry sky, all parties were stunned.

The Origin Beast Platform immediately became clamorous.

The divine son of Xilin clan had been defeated?! Everyone simply couldn’t believe it. Wei Lin had put his peerless scroll in use and even visualized a true phoenix. Yet, all of his trump cards had been damaged by Chu Feng in one strike while he, himself had to flee for his life.

“That’s Xilin clan divine son we’re talking about. He’s fleeing drenched in blood?!”

“Impossible!” Wei Xuan screamed, her face deathly pale. Those geniuses of Xilin clan beside her were even paler. The most powerful person in their generation had been defeated and was being chased by someone in the Carefree Realm. This had indeed toppled their understanding and broken certain conceited beliefs in their heart.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Chu Feng shouted and chased Wei Lin all the way down.

One running and the other chasing, they went from the western region all the way to the eastern region, and finally charged into Lake Xihu in Hangzhou.

“Ah...” Wei Lin roared and strived to fight it out. However, he really was no match for Chu Feng and what resulted was a rain of blood.

At this moment, everyone at the base camp of Xilin clan in the outer realms was watching the live broadcast. Some of the powerful elder generations wore incredibly sullen faces. Even the youths couldn’t endure it and started to shout in anger.

The water of Lake Xihu was in turmoil. This battle made the Xilin clan furious because they felt that the unrivaled halo on them had been broken.

The tears of Xilin formed the waters of Lake Xihu—this was simply too hard for them to accept because they were the pure-blooded lineage with the right to control various inheritances. Why were they no match for the native?!

...

[1] It’s translated as Western Lake, but the author wanted the Xilin and Xihu to kinda go together so I’m leaving it in pinyin.
