The Deity Elixir had a surprisingly marvelous effect allowing Chu Feng to solve all kinds of hidden dangers!
A golden radiance surrounded his entire body and it didn’t fade for a long time. There was a mysterious force cleansing his body and even his spirit was becoming increasingly purified and agile.
His hair was golden yellow with brilliance flowing through. From afar he looked like a god!
This persisted for a long time, before the golden light on Chu Feng’s body gradually waned. He felt rather odd. His flesh, muscles, bones, and consciousness were all in excellent condition, and everything was transparent like crystal within his internal vision.
This was a baptism!
Chu Feng smiled and extended his limbs, all the more satisfied. His basic bodily attributes had risen to their strongest state.
Then, he prepared to evolve right here outside Mount Eternal. He took out the plump, bright red immortal peach. He opened his mouth and took a bite. Its juices flowed and a gush of red light surged out.
If anyone saw this, their eyes would’ve been frozen. This was indeed a divine medicine!
The rich fragrance filled the air and drifted who knows how many miles!
A bright light welled up around Chu Feng’s body and a red mist seeped out from within. For a moment, he was like a radiating saint with a layer of intense light covering him. His cellular metabolism increased as he began to transform and evolve once again!
He was worry-free after getting rid of all the hidden dangers. He had performed an advanced evolution through consuming the immortal peach medicine and hence upgraded his basic essence.
Chu Feng was still uneasy even after eating the immortal peach, so he ate a few dark red cinnabar fruits. Their fragrance was strong and his mouth was full of their juices. They gave him the illusion that he was about to fly up into the heavens amidst rising clouds.
Chu Feng’s transformation following this was rather astonishing. Suddenly the divine light alleviated. Soon after the skin on his whole body became withered and lost its luster. Then his body starting making a slight breaking noise.
However, the cellular metabolism inside his body was growing increasingly robust as vital qi broke out and bubbled like a volcano.
Not long afterwards, Chu Feng’s dull skin began to crack with a soft crunching noise. With a rustle, the layer of dead skin on the surface of his body came loose and red rays burst out.
This kind of metamorphosis was rather terrifying. His body was regenerating like a molting serpent.
Chu Feng’s height had not yet changed, but his muscles were sparkling and translucent yet tenacious like jade. Divine light surged from every inch of him and he became all the more stronger.
Now his evolution no longer involved severing shackles, but as before, his constitution was improving substantially and his spirit was being nourished.
The dead skin on his body came off and even the strands of his hair were being replaced. It was extraordinary. Now his body was even more penetratingly flawless than most beauties. His dark hair was bright, shining, and fell to his waist.
Buzz!
Chu Feng’s body shone, full of vitality and valor. Magnificent brilliance burst from his pores as if he were covered by a divine splendor and enveloped by a lustrous ring of light.
This made him aware of a powerful, unrivaled force. His every little movement was filled with a terrifying destructive potential.
On his forehead, a bright flame jumped about. That was the spirit and it was almost tangible. It made his perception more acute and he could easily move increasingly larger and heavier objects telekinetically.
Certainly, this was how he put his spiritual art to use, and his strength had also greatly increased.
The evolution continued—only the first stage had passed. Next, there were all sorts of subtle changes making him feel his body’s activity increase constantly.
In the carefree realm, there were no such things as shackles. It wasn’t complicated, not divided into several tens of levels. Chu Feng rose from the first level to the further stages within the carefree realm.
Unfortunately, the immortal peach medicine and the other medicines were picked long ago. After the long years, all kinds of effective components in them had been much lost. If this wasn’t the case, how could real just-picked divine fruits only have such a slight effect once consumed?
Moreover, this wasn’t the fruit produced by the immortal peach ancestral root.
Otherwise, even if he couldn’t ascend, he should’ve been able to be reborn and his vital level would’ve leapt upwards continuously.
But Chu Feng was already content. Problems would’ve indeed risen if he really rose above the carefree realm because he lacked the relevant experience. Now he was progressing steadily. Even though his evolution was violent and rapid, he was, as before, very down-to-earth during the processes.
He still had cinnabar fruits on him but he didn’t eat anymore since he needed to contemplate things. He had to stop at the later stage of the carefree realm, even if it was for just ten days to half a month.
“I can’t skip any levels. I have to carefully experience it so that I can polish and make my foundation sturdier, and then go further.”
Throughout the next day he was adapting to his body’s changes as well as slowly enhancing his constitution; his evolution hadn’t yet completely finished.
Bang!
Chu Feng’s body jolted and the picture he painted himself emerged. Bit by bit it unfolded and the supreme volume came into view.
This time the level of improvement was multifaceted. Naturally, it was impossible for the improvements to bypass the picture scroll, which used his vitality and blood as the paper and his spirit as the paint.
The Top 100 celestial bodies were full of creatures. Alongside all sorts of strange visions, there was a primal chaos lotus in one of the celestial bodies. Another was in the shape of a golden paper, known as a wordless heavenly tome. And there were some…
The creatures, accompanied by each of their own slowly-unfolding scrolls, were branded on the stars and revolved around his real body.
Boom!
Chu Feng began to attack. He moved his body and the scrolls moved with him, crushing and smashing everything around him!
However, this was Mount Eternal and it didn’t allow him to do great damage, otherwise, it would lead to major problems.
Chu Feng stared at the scrolls and proceeded to improve them. They became more and more clear and incredibly legitimate. Their destructive power increased.
Last time when he was fighting Yu Jiubian he hadn’t even used his own supreme scroll. He didn’t want to prematurely reveal it as he wanted to use that fight as a pretext for contesting others on the Origin Beast Platform.
“It seems quite difficult. After all, that is a top-notch saint. With the passing of many long years, he has long since familiarized himself with every evolutionary stage, practicing well until he reached the point where he was perfect and satisfactory.”
Chu Feng muttered to himself. He knew that a clash with the ninth-ranked in the whole of the starry skies was too dangerous and that he could end up dying!
Therefore he could only become stronger and stronger. He wanted to reach the most perfect point at this level, even if he couldn’t become first throughout history, he had to approach the top and forge ahead!
“It is difficult but it’s still possible.”
Chu Feng firmly believed that as long as he could upgrade himself to his peak, where he could no longer advance, then even a supreme saint, who has trained for many years and reached a state of perfection in the corresponding realm, wouldn’t be able to cope with him.
Chu Feng touched up his own scrolls, constantly improving them.
Then, he spent another day deploying punches and kicks, training his physical arts as well as his spiritual arts.
His body was like a ray of light, moving within Mount Eternal. He swiftly vanished and appeared again, and it was truly too fast. His fist glowed, illuminating the area and cutting through the thick fog.
This was the Flowing Light Fist!
Then, he used the Crane Sword and light surged out from his fingers. This was an attack move which brought all the energy within his body into play, and shooting it out from the mouth of the crane!
This sort of technique was most effective against strong defenses.
When Chaotic Star Finger came into view, they resembled beams of lasers, interweaving together to illuminate and dazzle this lifeless mountainous region.
Following this, he used the spiritual arts he had stolen from the Xilin Clan. The space between his eyebrows glowed and beams of light flew out, weaving together to create a spiritual cage.
He expedited all of this using the Robbery Induction breathing technique. It was slightly different from the original version but the effect was just as strong.
The ultimate goal was not to duplicate it but to mix them together. He felt that these techniques could be blended together and, in the end, display his own unequaled skills.
Now Chu Feng felt that only the resonance technique could be classed as his own, which he had analyzed to the extreme after achieving atavism.
He believed that this was a technique even stronger than those he had stolen. It was underestimating it to call it a wondrous Heaven-defying technique; it was truly his trump card!
In fact, he had used the resonance technique and his own energy forms to defeat enemies within the visualization realm.
Chu Feng stayed on this island of decay for over two days to evolve, practice his techniques, and digest what he had gained during this time.
By the time he stopped, the evolution was already finished.
Like in the past, he was unbearably hungry. His tummy was rumbling and his stomach was in pain.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared and he had the flesh of the Deity Clan on his body. He simmered and roasted it outside Mount Eternal, replenishing his body’s needs.
On the island, Chu Feng dug out a small silver box, a treasure obtained from Mount Qinling. Yao Yao had told him the Robbery Induction breathing technique should be concealed inside!
In the end, he examined it but hadn’t opened it yet.
“Seems like it’s still lacking maturity,” Chu Feng realized. Presently, his breathing technique could still support his evolution and arts.
At the same time, he picked up the small stone box containing the three seeds.
At first, he had a bad feeling and was afraid something would happen to him so he had buried his important belongings outside of Mount Eternal, only taking it away now.
Chu Feng emerged and departed from Mount Eternal. He left this foggy area and returned to the East Sea.
“Attack!”
When he rushed back to the previous area, he heard a yell to attack which shook the heavens. All kinds of light rays surged out, and many weapons came crashing together—apparently, some people were in a fierce battle.
There were many marine beast carcasses on the surface of the ocean. The fresh blood dyed this part of the waters scarlet red.
Chu Feng cursed covertly. He had gone to evolve for two days only and the underwater cave residence had emerged!
He had left decisively to improve his skills because he was worried that enemies from the outer realms would suddenly arrive. He had never thought that in just two days time one of the East Sea’s paradise would emerge and a fortune would appear.
Those fighting on the surface of the sea was only a small proportion of those involved. Most had already charged underwater, bursting into the ancient residence.
Bang!
At this moment, Chu Feng didn’t bother covering up. Brilliant light erupted from his whole body as he barged in, dazzling divine rays spewing from his pores and illuminating the place.
This was like a god descending onto the world!
His black hair became a pale golden color in the shining divine light. As for his body, it was as if it was forged out of divine immortal gold.
“The great Demon King Chu is here!”
Someone let out an odd scream and quickly hid himself.
The crowd scattered in all directions in fear of him.
“Where is Zi Luan, Yuan Mo, Zhan He, and Li Feng?!” shouted Chu Feng, wanting to understand the situation.
Under the sea, the undercurrent surged and the brilliance became blinding. The battle was becoming more intense and one could vaguely see a glowing cave residence. Radiance flowed through its interior, resembling a godly world.
Following this, Chu Feng yelled a couple of times before a response came from the distance. Zi Luan appeared covered with bloodstains. Her complexion was pale as if she had been frightened.
She was slightly afraid, slightly hopeful, and felt somewhat wronged upon seeing Chu Feng. Her emotions were complicated.
“How long has the cave residence been open for? What happened to you?!” Chu Feng asked her.
There were wounds on Zi Luan’s body. Moreover, they were heavy injuries and she was still dripping blood.
“The cave residence has been open for a little more than a day. Yuan Mo, the others, and I have been contesting for it and in the end, we were… targeted. Many people attacked us from all sides, prohibiting us from setting foot there.” Zi Luan was resentful and anxious at the same time.
“You were targeted?” Chu Feng frowned.
“Some people were very excited having heard that the Deity Clan’s young master is coming. They wanted to welcome him, and since we followed you, we were isolated and attacked…”
Chu Feng understood what had happened even when Zi Luan hadn’t finished speaking. Yuan Mo and the others wanted to seize the fortune, and as a result, they were besieged.
Chu Feng’s gaze was cold. Some things were going to be shifted to an earlier date!
Sooner or later he was going to go head to head with the young master, Xilin Clan’s divine son, and the Netherworld Clan, which was now ranked eleventh. He would be attacked from all sides and now there were people starting to target and attack Zi Luan and the others.
“They are courting death!”
After Chu Feng had inquired about the situation, he learnt that those who contested over the fortune of this cave residence had gone in for a long time and that the majority hadn’t come out yet. All of a sudden, he was no longer in a hurry.
He thought over it and decided to stand outside, blocking the way. He would then “assess” those who wanted to come out one by one. There was no need for him to go and endanger himself in looking for fortunes.
“If you want to come out, you’ll have to pay a protection fee first!” Chu Feng was ferocious!
