It was overcast over the island, shrouded in cloud and mist. The island was covered in stones and a smidgen of old trees that had wilted over the years and had now decayed.
The massive waves from the East Sea outside the island slammed up against the shore without end.
Evidently, the enemy had ample manpower this time around as more than a hundred evolution sects had joined hands. At the very least, they weren’t lacking in domain great masters. The eight of them present acted together to destroy the domain Chu Feng had laid out.
Two out of the eight were peak domain great masters. It was unlikely for them to be weaker than Chu Feng, but they were really getting on in their years. They stooped low and were even about to lose all of their hair.Chu Feng calmly looked on as the domain he laid out was gradually being torn down by the two old domain great masters and their six companions.
Warships approached the island one after the other, lining up closely to each other as they blockaded the sea.
There were tens of large warships carrying divine sons and saintesses; there were even more smaller warships carrying the subordinates and followers of those saint children.
Many warships had reached the shore. Evolvers from each race set foot on the island in succession to launch an encirclement to eradicate Yellow Ox, black yak, Ouyang Feng and the rest.
Those from the outer realms had mustered large forces and were unleashing a large scale attack this time around. Every single one of them was brimming with murderous intent, and some saint children could be seen bearing undisguised evil grins on their faces.
The Manchurian Tiger, Old Donkey, Zhou Quan and the rest were furious, gritting and gnashing their teeth. Those who raided their old nest had to be eradicated!
If they didn’t collectively evolve this time around, they would’ve been completely wiped out and it would’ve been a pure massacre. These people from the outer realms were too tyrannical, for they adopted the attitude that those who submitted to them would prosper and those who opposed them would perish.Ferocious beasts roared out one after the other; they were all mounts and very violent. A large cavalry riding on reckless beasts set foot on the island, filling the air with the scent of blood.
Black yak, Wu Qifeng and Old Lama felt a shiver run down their spine. Even Chu Feng was startled. This troop was one that truly gone through the baptisms of an unknown amount of bloody battles.
They were of the Deity Race, so their killing intent was evident.
The Deity Race felt the most ire towards Chu Feng because those who died in his hands were the greatest, even divine sons and saints had fallen. This was an unacceptable loss, and was considered to be extraordinarily shameful and humiliating to one of the originators of the allied armies.
“Deity cavalry,” muttered Chu Feng.
He understood many things ever since he entered the cosmos. The Deity Race had many cavalry. When they zipped by on the battlefield, they could practically topple mountains and overturn seas, easily sweeping away any obstacles in their path.
This cavalry was stronger than many saint children combined, so they had to heighten their defences when dealing with them.
The reason was because they could come together and form a single entity, transmitting energy between them. They would then unleash a uniform attack when they locked on to their target. It was truly terrifying!
“Dodge the cavalry’s spearhead later,” said Chu Feng. He was preparing to find an opportunity to personally deal with the matter.
Subsequently, the plumage of a flock of fearsome birds shone like metal being forged, exuding a dreadful scent.
Following behind them were fire salamanders, flying snakes and tiger cubs. They formed a dense armor and flew into the island too, resembling dark clouds as they covered the sky and earth. These life forms were extremely ferocious, bringing about strong pressurising aura with them. Those who faced them couldn’t help but wear grave expressions.
The void suddenly trembled lightly, disraughting these flying life forms and causing them to fall to the ground. A deep hole appeared where some of them crashed right into the ground.
Order runes appeared in mid-air on the island, bearing certain pressure. Most life forms couldn’t fly, save for a few exceptions.
“Get on the island!”
After a brief moment of turmoil, the enemy rapidly calmed down. Someone in the rear indifferently mentioned that the powerhouses of each race left one after the other, and those saint children were no exception.
This time around, geniuses from the demon race led the troops to find the right position and found Mount Eternal. A large army followed them, so naturally they could get on the island.
“We’ve finally arrived. A few of the old seniors from my race died on this island last time. It really is a tragedy. This time, I will avenge all of you!”
Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengxian arrived with cold intentions. A few old folks from the spirit race wanted to hoard everything to themselves the last time and didn’t bring along troops from the other races. They followed the geniuses from the demon race to the island, but were completely annihilated in the end.
Naturally, Yellow Ox and the rest had sustained heavy damage during that battle too and almost died while some great demons from Kunlun were killed.
“When we choose our mounts in a moment, I choose that small golden ox,” said Xu Chengxian.
He was the tender age of seventeen or eighteen years. If Wu Lunhui weren’t born, he would be regarded as the most impressive and famous genius descended from heaven.
Added on to the fact that he possessed the Myriad Star Physique, he drew everyone’s attention with the divine halos that adorned him wherever he went.
A middle-aged man from the Netherworld Race walked over from the rear end of the troop. He was a transformation realm expert and was also the old genius Chu Feng mentioned.
Chu Feng killed the divine children from his race, so they spent a hefty amount to send a few experts like that old genius. The middle-aged man from the Netherworld Race nodded and said, “I choose that black yak. Hehe! I don’t want to use him as a mount. I want to roast him and eat him!”
“Oh, I want that toad. I’ll bring it back to dissect it and analyze it. It always said divine blood flowed in its body, so let us see whether that’s really the case, ” said someone from the Xilin clan.
A fast boat sailed atop the sea in the void, carrying black yak and Ouyang Feng. When they heard what the enemy had to say, their expressions sank and they really wanted to burst out in anger. The enemy was truly unscrupulous; their haughtiness knew no bounds even when they came here.
“Oh, I choose that large, black mastiff. It seems pretty impressive. I like hunting so it’ll be pretty nice for me to drag a heterodivine dog on a leash when I head off to other savage planets,” said a saint child from the six-limbed tribe.
The six-limbed race was a strong race in the cosmos and was one of the strongest allies of the Deity Race because they ranked in the twenties in the cosmos.
After they cultivated to a certain level, not only would they have six limbs, but they would also have three heads.
This saint child was part of the younger generation in the cosmos and was ranked around the thirties in the cosmos. The aura he exuded was terribly scary because he was very strong. The head on his left shoulder swelled up, while the second head was starting to develop.
“Since they stayed in Mount Eternal for so long, I assume they have some secrets on them. Let’s choose a few as mounts too!”
The other saint children and saintess spoke one after the other.
“If not, this planet would have waned a long time ago and what’s left would be an inferior planet bearing the remnants of their predecessors. In that case, the wild beasts on this planet wouldn’t even enter our discerning eye.”
When the great demons on the green bamboo boat heard this far behind, their anger abruptly erupted.
The Deity Race, Dameng Pure Land, Xilin clan, spirit clan and Great Qi Dynasty all set foot on the island. The allied army was enormous and the sects that had fought with Chu Feng deployed their troops.
Men and horses darkened the island as far as the eye could see. This was a true wipe out and they were going to massacre the city and exterminate the demon race, even if there wasn’t a city here.
“Chu Feng, are you there? I heard you snuck your way into the starry skies and then I heard that you might be back very soon. Come out!” bellowed the powerhouse of the Deity Race. Their cavalry bellowed along with him. In a split second, their voices shook the heaven and earth like a landslide and tsunami.
The cavalry raised their weapons and aimed it at Mount Eternal, forming a single entity as they unified their attack. Sure enough, their energy and appearance was terrifying!
“This cavalry can defeat a few the combined attack of a few evolvers at the transformation realm!” Chu Feng exclaimed, reminding those around him.
“Chu Feng, come out! Your grandfather is here to kill you!” Someone from the cavalry shouted out. The other races followed suit, dinning and shouting.
“Haha! You’re not here? Advance and kill them all! From now on, we’re occupying Mount Eternal and will station our troops here for a long period of time! Those wild beasts, what black yak, wild tiger, foolish donkey and ugly dog. All of you, come out! I might spare your lives if you kneel and beg for forgiveness, then we’ll choose you as our mounts!”
Those from the outer realms were really tyrannical. The saint children from each race stood together and advanced forward with the main forces to crush the evolvers in Mount Eternal.
“Motherf*cker! These bastard from the outer realms are really insolent! Let’s dispose of them! If this old tiger doesn’t show his might, I really am a sick cat!” Manchurian Tiger was vexed to the point of insanity.
“They’re so bossy and demanding. If I don’t kill a few of them, they won’t know that Horse King’s third eye has opened!” The Horse King rubbed his big, shiny bald head forcefully.
As for black yak, Ouyang Feng and the great demons of Kunlun, they were all restless. They held back a mouthful of resentment in their hearts, itching to kill the enemy right away.
“Prepare to attack. When they get close to Mount Eternal’s monastery, I’ll attack first and deal with the two old peak-level domain great masters,” said Chu Feng as he discussed the various details of attack.
That was because these two domain great masters had secretly arranged something. They had to open up their pockets and wait for the enemy to work their way inside. They prepared enough demain tactics in advance so that they could use various mysterious magnetic flags in a flash and seal their opponents.
“Chu Feng and those wild beasts from earth, are you guys there? What are you waiting for? Show yourselves!” The Deity cavalry shouted, drawing laughter from the saint children from the other races.
A saint child stood out and said, “The Golden Snake Prince, Jin Hong is here. If the wild beasts from earth dares to battle, I will defeat all of you by myself!”
The one who spoke was a golden snake that was a prince of the Golden Snake Imperial Court. It had a thick train that coiled around, turning it into a snake mountain. It was lazy to change to its human form. Golden light flourished from its head to its toes as it challenged the demon race.
“Yes, these are all Amethyst Heaven Thunder. It’s a pity I wasn’t the one who forcibly crafted it. It’s an object that I plundered from the Deity Race’s Luan Shenhai and the dark prison the Xilin clan build. Take one each. After I make my move, find a suitable time to hurl yourselves out there and launch the first wave of assaults!’
“Alright, fry them all!”
Everything was in order!
“Whoever dares to come forth, come out and have a battle!” The Golden Snake Prince laughed again and exclaimed.
Shhhhrrrtt!
At this moment, Chu Feng exhausted all his capabilities and used his strongest energy, fully utilising the divine technique of World’s End Near at Hand and Yang World—the Lightning Fist.
One could say that his speed was unprecedented and unfathomable, exceeding everyone’s imagination.
There was no need to talk about World’s End Near at Hand. The Lightning Fist could further increase his speed. It pulled the person’s limbs and advanced forward in accordance on a mysterious trajectory. It was boundlessly frightening and had a demonic sense to it.
In the end, a loud bang rang out where the few domain great masters were and they exploded into blood mist. A few others crumbled to pieces from Chu Feng’s Lightning Fist where their body and soul were entirely wiped out.
Chu Feng was like light and electricity as he traversed the battlefield. He hit that enormous Golden Snake Prince showing off its military strength, causing blood to splatter everywhere. It was in excruciating pain from the blood-curdling screech it let out before its body split into two right in the middle.
Chu Feng used the divine techniques Extreme Speed and Yang World to punch through its body, and rushed off just like that. It was an incomparably dreadful sight.
This was because it wasn’t Chu Feng’s main target; he was charging toward the Deity cavalry and unleashed this attack on the Golden Snake Prince on the way there. If he truly intended to specially kill him, the Golden Snake Prince would undoubtedly die.
Sure enough, Chu Feng was too quick. The divine Yang World technique, Lightning Fist, could control his acceleration which therefore made him look like a stream of light. Before anyone could react, he was behind the Deity cavalry.
Hundreds of cavalry raised their weapons as they faced Mount Eternal and challenged their opponent to a fight.
Chu Feng suddenly attacked from the back!
After he got close to them, he no longer needed to accelerate. He decisively drew out a long sword that was dark-red in color and held it with both hands. A loud rumble rang out as he spun it, sweeping the sword forward.
In the blink of an eye, light burst forth and crimson sword qi charged to the heavens. Paired with the surge in killing intent, it was truly shocking.
Leaving this island aside, even the waves from the East Sea and slammed against the sky repeatedly. The raging waves surged and engulfed heaven and earth.
Pfft!
Blood light burst open and the light from his sword pierced the sun. Chu Feng’s slash could be called a total annihilation because he killed seventy or eighty people when he launched his rear attack.
He could do so because the Deity Race’s cavalry amounting to 500 people did not guard their backs, so they couldn’t form a single entity immediately and share their energy with each other to defend against his attack.
If not, twenty or thirty experts at the transformation realm would be exterminated from this cavalry.
Since Chu Feng stormed into the fray, how could he give them an opening? Blood light splashed as he brandished his Reincarnation Sword. The scene was even more terrifying than before. He unleashed a massacre in the troop and beheaded some ninety people in a single slash and left their corpses strewn on the island.
The enemy had barged into their formation, throwing the Deity Race’s cavalry into disorder and making it impossible for them to form a single entity. They sustained serious damage internally, completely breaking their battle strategy apart..
“Chu Feng!” yelled a commander from the Deity Race. His eye sockets were about to break open. This was the trump card they had prepared—a strong army that went through the baptism of blood and fire.
The most important thing was that these people were all very young. They were all selected elites who were going to bear a heavy responsibility as the backbone of the future. It was really not worth it for them to die just like that.
“Deity Race, get over here and offer your heads to me!” shouted Chu Feng. He suddenly emerged from the crowd and swooped down with World’s End Near at Hand. He used the Lightning Fist to drive his acceleration while he brandished his reincarnation sword with his free hand.
Clink, clink, clink!
Sparks flew everywhere in mid-air. The middle-aged expert at the transformation realm from the Deity Race spared no effort in fighting with Chu Feng, but in the end, Chu Feng severed his head in a single sweep.
Everything happened too fast. Chu Feng charged at the enemy and lobbed off the head of the Deity Race’s commander from thousands in the army.
The scene was a little shocking. Many people on the island cried out in alarm and shouted while many people were tongue-tied and chilled to the bone.
“Chu Feng, you dare to show yourself? Kill him!” Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengxian from the spirit race was the first to react as he roared out and charged forward, leading the way for everyone.
At the same time, Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, black yak and Old Lama appeared riding the green bamboo boat, officially setting foot on the island.
Chu Feng pointed at Xu Chengxian with his long dark-red sword and said, “Myriad Green Physique, come over here. I’ll cut your head off!”
Myriad Green Physique? Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengqian was enraged when he heard that and murderous intent overflowed out of him.
“The Myriad Green Physique belongs to your Uncle Ouyang! This Deity King is going to kill you!” shouted Ouyang Feng.
