The Sacred Ruins

chapter-622
The blue waves were undulating in the Eastern Sea. Giant monsters would emerge from time to time from the water, kicking up waves that were a thousand meters tall. Some were like creatures from the prehistoric era, while others were never before seen or heard.
The biological changes in the ocean were the most obvious after the upheavals, and many of the mythological species had resurfaced.
Tsch! Tsch! Tsch...
A large group of mermaids leaped out from the blue waters and then fell back into the ocean. Their posture was beautiful and rather pleasing to the eye.
"It looks delicious, I love fish!"The Netherworld Cat revealed sharp, white teeth as he licked his lips.Chu Feng slapped a fan on the cat's head and said, "You still want to eat when you can't even protect yourself. You'll be crying soon enough."
The Night Demon bowed his head, "Dao friend, please spare me. I've already submitted and allowed you to ride me. There's also no deep hatred between us, how about we let things slide?"
"It's important to hurry, don't think too much."Chu Feng didn't want to bother with him. He simply took out a stone and looked for the location of Mount Eternal.
This was a stone from Mount Eternal. Without it, one would never find one's way back after leaving this place.
"Go over there!"Chu Feng pointed the way like an old horse who knew the way.
'Roar! 'In the sea, tiger roars filled the sky as a number of golden Sea God Tigers appeared. All of them belonged to the ancient races and were rare in the present world.
He had fought with a powerful Sea God Tiger before back at Mount Longhu. He had cut off half its tail and caused the tiger to stomp about in anger. It hated him to the bones."The one that fought with me is also among them!"Chu Feng revealed an odd expression.
The Sea God Tigers had wings and their body was a brilliant gold. They tore through the water surface and were hurrying toward a certain direction.
"Damn, a group of sick cats dare block my way? Out of the way!" the Netherworld Cat screamed. He utilized the Spirit Devouring Art that was capable of suppressing one's spirit and was just about to charge over.
Chu Feng sighed. At this time and age, it seemed to have become normal for a cat to bully the tiger. He couldn't stand by to watch that happen. Even though the Sea God Tiger was beaten half dead by him back then, Chu Feng no longer viewed him as an enemy with the passage of time. He couldn't bear to watch as a king being humiliated by a cat from the outer realm.
He slapped the cat down with a bang and prevented it from causing trouble. He then hurried on his way.
"Woe is me! I can't eat fish and I can't bully those sick cats. What fun is there in life?" the cat mumbled. He was deliberately looking for a sense of existence because he was scared that Chu Feng would slaughter him upon arriving at the destination. Presently, he was testing out various methods.
"This doesn't make sense."
Chu Feng was puzzled. All kinds of monsters in the sea were in action. They were all going in one direction without so much as a word. Their faces were full of piety as though they were on a pilgrimage. Could there be something happening there?
Then, he saw the giant, island-like turtles, the dolphins with dragon horns, and mountainous hump-headed whales—all of them were headed in a single direction.
Chu Feng decisively stopped a clam-woman who was walking on the waves. Her two snow-white shells glistened like wings, and she was full of grace and beauty. At this moment, she had lost all color after sensing the magic of the Night Demon.
"Don't be afraid, I only have a few questions to ask you."Chu Feng comforted her.
Then, he quickly learned that the Marine Race was holding a grand meeting near the Rubik's Cube deep in the ocean. They were going to discuss whether or not to re-enter the land and seek opportunities at Kunlun.
"Well, what movements are there at Kunlun?!"
"The Home of Myriad Gods is about to be opened. It is reported that the Origin Magnetic Saint Physique, the Destiny Immortal Physique, Yin Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, the Little Buddha and the others are all risking life and limb in a bid to seize the road into the Home of Myriad Gods. There is an earth-shattering fortune there."
"Well, who would've thought..."Chu Feng was amazed.
He already knew that the Divine Glass Golden Physique, the Great War Physique, and Innocuous Physique had come into being—they were currently fighting for hegemony on the earth and shaking the universe, becoming the focus of all attention. Chu Feng still wanted to find an opportunity to size-up these people.
Chu Feng hadn't expected that their showdown would actually incite the opening of the Home of Myriad Gods. This was an important matter!
Reportedly, the Ancestral Peach had taken root there. Additionally, there were some ancient ruins filled with rare treatures and inheritances. He had to rush over!
But how was the Marine Race eligible to contend with these people? The extraterrestrial creatures were coming in at this point, and they were all very powerful. There were very few evolvers on earth who could challenge them.
"The sea god in the Rubik's Cube will choose a body to inherit her consciousness. She's going to enter the Home of Myriad Gods herself," the clam lady replied.
Chu Feng was shocked to hear this. He had long since known that there was a mysterious Rubik's cube in the ocean. This had led to a surge in the strength of the various races in the sea since she had passed them numerous cultivation arts.
Now, the mysterious woman who had been sleeping in the Rubik's Cube was awakening and poised to go to Kunlun herself. It was definitely a terrifying matter.
That was because the woman was unfathomable. She was able to drive the island across the universe back then. Afterward, she hid in the Rubik's Cube to enter earth—it was all too amazing.
However, Chu Feng did not intend to probe. Presently, it was better for him to have less on his hands. He simply went on his way because he didn't want to provoke the mysterious woman in the Rubik's Cube.
"Why did you not tell me about the things going on at Kunlun?" Chu Feng asked the Netherworld Cat.
The Netherworld Cat smiled and said, "Did you ask me?"
In truth, he felt guilty at heart, afraid that the other party would kill him after he had served his purpose. Because it had a vague feeling that this bronze-masked person was very familiar with Chu Feng and close friends with people from Mount Eternal. It didn't matter if he was going to meet Yellow Ox and the others, but if he was going to Kunlun to meet people from the outer realm, it was quite likely that he would kill him to keep his mouth shut.
Finally, they arrived at the mountain. The entire place was suffused with mist which shrouded the sea region.
"Huh?!" Chu Feng's was alarmed because he felt someone peeping at him. This person was very powerful, and his whereabouts couldn't be discerned immediately.
Golden light emerged in the depths of Chu Feng's eyes as he squinted and scanned the place quietly. His heart went cold because he could see a small jade-green boat rushing over at great speeds.
"Let's go!"
Chu Feng urged the Netherworld Cat and immediately laid down a domain. The group immediately vanished and merged into the mist.
That person was Yuchi Kong, the dao protector of earth's True One!
Chu Feng's pupils were cold and frosty because he had no good feelings about this person. This person had sought him out time and again before his fight with the young god of the Deity Race and Qin Luoyin. The man had spoken righteously and asked him to hand over the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique. In the end, he had resorted to threats and trying to take it by force.
Neither Yuchi Kong nor the True one was seen when the real battles broke out, but they were covetous of Chu Feng's inheritances at the critical juncture. They even wanted his fortunes like the Hellish Ant Elixir and Deity Elixir—this roused Chuy Feng's ire.
Yuchi Kong and Zhou Shang considered themselves as a heaven-bestowed bloodline, but their actions caused Chu Feng to lose faith in them.
"What is this old fellow doing here?" Chu Feng's expression was ugly because he had a vague speculation. Could it be that the man was trying to block Yellow Ox, black yak, and the others from leaving? Did Yuchi Kong want to capture his parents and force him to hand over the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique in exchange?!
Thinking of this, his expression turned even more unsightly.
Chu Feng did not stop because he wanted to see Yellow Ox and the others. He wanted to reunite with them as quickly as possible and let them know he had returned alive.
Whoosh!
The Netherworld Cat was very fast. In the midst of suspicion, he rushed deep into the island within the mist. This place was completely devoid of life and filled with rocks everywhere. There were all kinds of ancient trees around here but they were also rotten.
The seven towering mountains on the island were full of grandeur. They stretched across the island and blocked the place as though they were rending the heaven and earth.
Chu Feng had arrived. He could already hear the whistling wind and bolts of thunder far away from the mountain gate. The rolling waves of energy here were exceptionally rich.
"These days have been too dull. This won't do, I must go out and do something big. I'll kill a horde of divine sons and wash the outer realm orthodoxies with blood. We must avenge brother Chu Feng."
He could hear his old friends even from far away.
"Correct! The Home of Myriad Gods is about to open. We will head over there when the time comes and start a massacre from atop the undead ships. Blood must be repaid with blood—they will pay for what they deserve."
"Yes, it's time to move out. My mood was especially sour when I heard that the lass from Great Dream Pure Land has returned alive." The Dameng Pure Land even spread the word that Qin Luoyin killed brother Chu Feng. I'm really unhappy about this. We'll screw them all to death, do not let a single one from the Dameng Pure Land leave. Goddamit!"
"Hee-haw, hee-haw..." Brother Chu Feng, you died so miserably. You can rest assured, I will burn paper for you every year and chant for you every day. May your spirit rest well in heaven. "Of course, if you miss us, you can also come back and visit often." The old man rubbed his eyes for a long time, but his eyes were dry. He couldn't squeeze out any tears at all.
After saying these words, he looked up and saw the Chu Feng right there. He was so scared that his scalp went numb. He rolled, crawled, and ran away toward the back with goosebumps all over his body. "Oh mommy, this place is haunted. Brother Chu Feng, I was just saying it casually, but you really came home to see me? Go away quickly, let me burn you ten paper boats. Come back next year, this year will be exempted because it might shock people out of their wits. "
The old donkey bounced about in a mess, then ran away without even looking back.
At this moment, the black yak stood up with a pair of big horns swaying on his head and eyes as big as bronze bells. He simply couldn't believe it, and he was incomparably excited as he stared at Chu Feng.
The Manchurian Tiger stared blankly like an idiot and said, "Brother, did you run home after hearing the old donkey's mutterings?"
"Yeah, I missed everyone, so I slipped out from the underworld. I even brought some presents. Brother Tiger, look. What do you think about this female tiger? She's quite the dark beauty." Chu Feng stomped down and kicked the Netherworld Cat over. He had already closed the bronze mask before approaching this place.
At this moment, the night demon was stunned. Who did it just see? Chu Feng, the mysterious powerhouse he had attached himself to was actually the strongest evolver whom everyone had regarded as dead!
In an instant, he understood and figured out all kinds of things. He suddenly felt great distress and all of his hair stood on end. The other party would probably silence him in order not to leak any information.
He suddenly shivered in horror.
The Manchurian Tiger hadn't regained his wits yet and thus replied subconsciously, "Brother, this black beauty is male and he also seems to be a cat. Is the underworld so dark that you brought the wrong gift?"
The black yak remained calm. After a momentary daze, he let out an odd cry and ran over in tears. "Brother, I knew you weren't dead! Great, you've finally come back, us brothers can fight shoulder to shoulder now."
Chu Feng was also very moved after seeing him this way and gave the black yak a warm hug.
Unexpectedly, the black yak bit down on his finger, almost causing blood to flow out. "It's real flesh. It's not a ghost!"
"Damn, Black Boss, you've nearly bitten off my finger!"Chu Feng grimaced in pain.
The black yak quickly wiped the tears in his eyes, laughed, and patted his shoulder. "It's great that you're alive. We were really so worried we didn't dare hold much hope recently. You actually came back at this juncture. What great fortune! When us brothers kill our way into Kunlun, we'll blind that group's dog eyes and frighten them to death!"
The Manchurian Tiger roared as he rushed over.
"Hee-haw, hee-haw... I knew it, scourges always live for millennia. Cosmic-level calamities like us have to live for a couple hundred thousand years at least. I, old donkey, have long since guessed it. Brother Chu Feng simply cannot die."
The old donkey wasn't ashamed at all. He arrived with a pair of long ears on his head and his buck tooth showing in front of his mouth. Just now, he had been scared senseless and was crawling on the ground, but after a few moments, he had returned without any embarrassment at all.
Beside them, the Netherworld Cat was greatly distressed. His heart was filled with astonishment and lament. This fellow had returned alive from the purgatory and the story definitely wasn't over—a great storm was surely looming over the horizon!
