The Sacred Ruins
chapter-703

An old man leaning on a walking stick walked out from the Netherworld Race with an apathetic smile on his face. Due to his breathing technique, there was a thin layer of black mist outside his body.

“Young man, it’s good to have confidence, but being overly conceited is stupid. Having an evolver like you on this declining planet can be considered to be a peculiarity, too. This made me recall the resplendent era of those asters from ancient times. The youngsters from this planet were very breathtaking because they kept our Netherworld Race’s golden generation under control to the point that it was practically suffocating. But what happened in the end? Yes, the so-called brilliance of the asters become meteors in the end. Such dazzling light temporarily illuminated that era, but they only shone for that brief moment in time before fading away in the end,” said the old man. He took his time to speak and was relatively calm as he did so.

After which, a faint smile appeared on his face as he continued, “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Our Netherworld Race’s golden generation grew and is now an almighty force. They are ranked eight in the universe.”

How could Chu Feng not understand what he was saying. There was no need for him to explain anything. The Netherworld Race’s emergence to power came from stepping on countless corpses on this planet. They obtained the support of many great figures such as the Deity Race and many others. On the Netherworld Race’s order, the other powerful races attacked ancient Earth together and emerged victorious in the end.

Chu Feng didn’t get angry, but rather he spoke in an extremely calm manner, “Old man, don’t get conceited because of your seniority. The kind of words you speak is very disgusting, just like that old, wrinkled face of yours that resembles a sheet of old, rotten pig skin. Does showing off your calmness and collectedness, and proclaiming how powerful your Netherworld Race make you feel a sense of accomplishment? Oh, I chopped up one of your saint children in Kulun last time with a single slash. He really was too weak. So, it’s best if you put this tactic of yours away and don’t brag in front of me. I don’t think a race like yours that’s neither human nor ghost is really all that tyrannical.”

The old man from the Netherworld Race still wore a faint smile that bore no anger as he said, “No matter what you say, we still feel a little regretful. A peculiarity like you is going to die in the end. Young man, do you have any last words before you die? Do tell.”

Chu Feng has already given directions to the big black yak, Yellow Ox, and Ouyang Feng in secret for them to retreat in their large rotting ships so that they could prepare to burst into Mount Eternal at any time.

These people were very serious. They had already stood on the large ships a long time ago which made Chu Feng feel relieved. These warships belonged to Mount Eternal, so it was very difficult for them to be destroyed.

Chu Feng spoke again, “Old man, from the looks of it, you guys are going to unleash a deadly blow, right? But you wear such a calm and unperturbed appearance. If you suffer a crushing defeat in a moment so much so that your whole army gets destroyed, what would be your thoughts about that?”

At this moment, the expression on many people’s faces changed. All of the saint children held incomparably restraining fear toward Chu Feng. They personally witnessed him unleash his divine might and capture two great physiques alive by himself, so who wasn’t worried?

The old man’s expression stiffened slightly, but he still smiled in the end. His netherworld aura grew increasingly strong as black mist surged around his surroundings.

At this moment, the older generations from the Spirit Race, Xilin race, Deity Race and Dameng Pure Land stood out. They were the allied troops’ organizers this time around.

“Chu Feng, as fellow clansmen, I’ll give you a suggestion. Follow us. Xilin Clan is your best place to return to,” said a red-haired old man as he laughed, but his eyes hid unconcealed malice. It was clear that he was extending an invitation to Chu Feng, but his gaze was very cold and he was actually itching to kill Chu Feng right away.

“Xilin Can, you’re worse than dogs or pigs. I slaughtered your divine son, so please pass a message to your ancestor Wei Heng for him to wash his neck clean. I’ll chop off the head of the so-called ranked ninth in the universe sooner or later.”

“You can talk really well. You’re still reluctant to admit your mistake even when your death is imminent. Do you think you can still survive today?” At this moment, a woman spoke up. Even though she was really from the older generation, she didn’t look old. She was from Dameng Pure Land.

“Granny, your words don’t have any meaning whatsoever. Little Grandfather Chu has always lived a very good life,” replied Chu Feng.

Granny? That woman’s face immediately darkened. With her level of evolution, how could someone call her a granny at her age? She was still very exuberant!

Chu Feng then continued, “Oh right! By the way, let me ask you demon grandmother, is Qin Luoyin pregnant? Why didn’t she come?”

The group of women from Dameng Pure Land was furious with him calling her granny first and then going too far and calling her demon grandmother, and then bringing up Qin Luoyin being pregnant. They directed their anger against the same adversary.

Chu Feng looked at their expressions and had a burst of doubt as he asked, “Could it be that there’s some misunderstanding in this? Are you guys so heartless to me because you don’t know that she’s pregnant?”

Once he said that, every race was in an uproar. Was he purposely making sport of Dameng Pure Land? He was also implying that Qin Luoyin and him did something bad together.

“Chu Feng, you demon! You will die a very miserable death!” rebuked the people from Dameng Pure Land angrily.

“Those who spoke to me in this manner have all died, such as the divine sons from the Xilin Clan, Deity Race, and Netherworld Race. Oh, it’s rather meaningful now that I think about it. Did you guys form a united front and go to the trouble of traveling a long distance to send off your divine sons who I chopped off?

Chu Feng’s words were equivalent to drawing out enmity, turning the faces of a group of people ashen.

“It looks like you have no fear.”

These old, experienced powerhouses dispersed and slowly moved. They encircled Chu Feng from afar as they wielded their own secret treasures in their heads, all of which were great murderous weapons.

For example, someone wielded a brass pagoda whereas another wielded a deity murdering lance; someone wielded a demon refining bottle whereas another held a black calabash.

Everyone was terrified. A few saint children recognized those items. They were all weapons out of the ordinary that could kill an evolver at the cloudeater realm in a second and could easily strike a person at the transformation realm to death.

“You guys are relying on these scrap metals. You guys really aren’t much to look at.” Chu Feng shook his head.

His words held considerable confidence which changed the complexions on the faces of a few old, experienced powerhouses. They really couldn’t think of how their opponent could still make a comeback. This was a situation where he would face certain death.

That was because any kind of weapon they currently held in their hands was more impressive than the Green Demonic Bow and Arrow from before. It was enough to shoot a person of outstanding talent from the younger generation to death.

“Hmm!?”

Chu Feng’s expression suddenly changed. He rushed toward Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and the rest and shouted, “Quickly retreat back to Mount Eternal!”

He detected a dangerous aura. Someone very powerful was coming which terrified him.

“Your divine senses are rather sharp. Heh. But young man, you exaggerate too much. If you want to retreat now, it’s too late.” At this moment, an old man appeared with golden light specks surrounding him.

His aura was extremely terrifying. It was as though he had a body that never broke down. His body was immortally firm, and vigorous energy filled his whole body. He was a golden arhat.

“How can it be!?” Big black yak and the others let out a bewildered cry from afar.

“There’s nothing impossible. I crippled myself to attain the power of the golden body realm and almost died. I then entered Earth’s main space and finally recovered slowly. I lived up to my expectations, and luckily, I survived and didn’t get obliterated by Earth’s state,” said an old man indifferently.

Another old woman also spoke up, “That is also the case with me. In order to exterminate you, they utilized golden arhats like us. We’ll die contentedly when you die too!”

One was from Netherworld Race whereas the other was from Xilin Clan. They were willing to pay a hefty price because they greatly valued Earth.

The powerful aura the duo exuded intimidated everyone on the island. A playful expression formed on their faces as they stared at Chu Feng as though they were cats catching a mouse.

“Do you know? We’re not the only two who crippled ourselves to become golden arhats so that we can enter this planet. There are others who entered, too, but it’s a pity that some of them died while some are still recovering their strength. A few of our races had suffered disastrous losses because of you. If you don’t die today, heaven cannot tolerate this!” said the old woman.

“Heaven can’t tolerate this? You bunch are fit to utter such words?” questioned Chu Feng with a somber expression.

Specks of golden light sparkled around the old man as he said, “Heh, we quickly showed ourselves because we were afraid you would flee for fear that you can’t protect those so-called great murderous weapons and trumps cards. Instead, we let you escape into the depths of Mount Eternal. What reason do you have left to live for now? You’re a salted fish waiting to die!”

The two golden arhats made their move and descended, wanting to suppress Chu Feng.

A powerful force could fell ten people alone. It was simply impossible for Chu Feng to contend against an evolver of this realm, so they wanted to crush him by force.

The saint children from every sect on the island immediately relaxed and burst out laughing because the last restraining fear in their hearts had disappeared. Chu Feng was definitely going to die. No doubt about it.

The old powerhouses from before also had a look of glee on their faces. Even they didn’t know that two golden arhats would appear and attack all of a sudden.

“You really act like it’s easy to bully Little Grandfather. Since we’ve reached this moment and those who should arrive have already arrived, then all of you should die!” shouted Chu Feng.

With them as the center, ripples interweaved on the ground and runes shone. The whole island seemed to be activated all of a sudden as light filled the sky.

The two old golden arhats were horrified. The runes stopped them in their tracks in a flash.

The old woman was frightened in the face of a disaster as she said, “This… is a large-scaled domain. It can threaten golden arhats. How can this be? He’s only a domain grandmaster. It should be impossible for him to lay out this kind of domain!”

“Ah… this is bad!” The other saint children from each race loudly cried out in panic. They were trapped. In the frenzy, there were people who ran and the result was them having their body ripped apart.

This island became incomparably terrifying. Energy was boiling, and light beams were interweaving. The island was like a chess board as there were various kinds of lines weaving and intersecting, displaying a killing excursion-type domain.

“Impossible. When we previously set foot on the island, we invited domain grandmasters to destroy the domain arrangements along the way. A total of twelve domains were destroyed and we’re completely safe, so how could it have appeared again?”

“I left those twelve domains for you guys to destroy. How could I possibly reveal the large-scale domain I really prepared to exterminate all of you in advance? It’ll only activate when you guys are in position. Do you really think it’s that easy to get close to the place that I, your Little Grandfather, has stayed at before!?” taunted Chu Feng.

The old woman at the golden body realm lowered her voice and said, “Don’t panic. It’s nothing serious. A domain researcher at his rank still can’t trap golden arhat experts. He still can’t operate this kind of large-scale domain because it requires substantial energy. He can only activate it for a short period of time. We’ll escape very quickly.”

“That’s right. Domain grandmasters are very impressive, but it’s impossible for them to lay out such a large-scale domain. We don’t need to be afraid!” Someone suddenly realized.

“Heh, I’ll let you guys understand.” Chu Feng ascended and a flash of lightning appeared above his head with a bang, unleashing a deafening sound.

What’s going on? Everyone was dumbfounded. After Chu Feng laid out his domain, why did he almost get attacked?

Chu Feng stood there and said, “Yes, under normal circumstances, it’s useless for me to lay out this kind of large-scale domain. I really wouldn’t be able to activate it, but it’s not a problem at all today. I can activate it!”

Boom!

Lightning appeared above his head again. It was incomparably splendid and magnificent as it attacked him.

“Heavenly tribulation!” someone yelled, finally understanding what was going on.

With a faint smile on his face, Chu Feng said, “That’s right. I’ve always wanted to experience tribulation as of late. It just so happened that I can use it to activate this large-scale domain as an energy primer. This should be enough.”

Boom, boom, boom!

He didn’t speak anymore because his heavenly tribulation had arrived. It was incomparably large, far surpassing that of the ordinary person. This shocked those who were at the cloudeater realm because this kind of heavenly thunder was too powerful. Its power was so unfathomable that it could kill many people at this level in a second.

“This is bad! Charge out of there!” someone yelled.

That was because the whole island was activated after earth-shattering lightning struck, interweaving with the domain runes. After the island attracted the lightning energy from the sky and poured it into the island, the large-scale domain completely lit up brightly.

The domain runes struck the people who charged out chaotically and caused them to explode in an instant.

“Attack and get out!” said others. The two golden arhats were also terrified and wanted to escape.

Unfortunately, this kind of large-scale domain blocked their path and they were incapable of escaping.

Only a few large rotting ships kept moving under Chu Feng’s directions, heading in the direction of Mount Eternal.

“Everyone, this domain’s name is Heavenly Fire Thunder. Slowly enjoy it. Let me ignite it for you all!” Chu Feng said coldly. Countless lightning bolts appeared above his head and struck down, pouring into the large-scale domain.

At this point, the large-scale domain was completely activated. It enveloped over ten thousand troops and was about to deal a fatal blow.
