Chapter 1052: Scaring the Celestial Master to Death

At the same time, Chu Feng swung a powerful punch with his other hand, aiming it fiercely and precisely at the back of the Taiwu lineage prodigy's head. At such close range, it was a guaranteed hit.

This was a startling development. The moment the Taiwu lineage's core disciple had his precious weapon snatched, his heart sank. The item had changed hands so silently, leaving him shocked and enraged. But almost at the same time, his hair stood on end as intense pain shot through the back of his head. His skull felt as if it were shattering, and his vision went black.

Although Chu Feng's fist was not exceptionally large, its current striking power was considerable, easily capable of splitting stone tablets or cracking rocks. However, the blow did not penetrate Gouwa's skull, making Chu Feng's heart clench. The Taiwu lineage prodigy was even stronger than he had imagined. Since they nourished their blood and bones with creation material and underwent a specific kind of evolution, it was difficult to accurately judge the true extent of these young prodigies' power.

This blow was far from the decisive killing strike Chu Feng had envisioned. It made the Taiwu lineage prodigy scream as his body lunged forward, stumbling and falling to the ground. However, he was not dead. The back of his head appeared to be fractured but not punctured. "So tough!" Chu Feng sighed inwardly with regret. His hand was throbbing, and his short sword, held in his other hand, had been just shy of delivering a fatal blow. Unfortunately, Gouwa had lunged forward, preventing Chu Feng from beheading him.

All these changes happened too quickly, completed in a flash. Chu Feng, still inside the egg, rapidly moved away, propelling himself with profound magnetic energy and transforming into a streak of light to escape. He didn't want to be in a passive position. After snatching the mother-gold sword, the Taiwu lineage successor would undoubtedly fight him to the death, and the other few individuals would also covet it and pursue him. If he were surrounded, the situation would undoubtedly be very bad.

The big, chubby boy, Yingying, and the others were all dumbfounded. They hadn't even clearly seen what happened when the Taiwu lineage prodigy started bleeding from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground, and then the egg... ran away! Gouwa instantly stood up with a hiss. His gaze was terrifying, like two blazing bolts of lightning. He glanced around, stunned to see an egg... making its escape.

"Roar!" With a furious roar, the Taiwu lineage prodigy gave chase, absolutely seething with rage. To be ambushed and have his mother-gold treasure stolen was an utterly outrageous humiliation. The others also leaped up and gave chase, not out of sympathy for Gouwa, but because the mother-gold weapon was far too tempting. Even a Heavenly Venerate would covet it and wouldn't let it go.

Along the way, Chu Feng, still inside the eggshell, used the geomagnetic energy from the Dragon Nest. His speed became faster and faster, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Moreover, he deliberately concealed himself. The entire egg was rolling rapidly, and the geomagnetic energy he used was invisible, making it impossible for others to see. To outsiders, he appeared to be rolling away the entire time, much like an egg escaping.

The Taiwu lineage prodigy was so enraged his hair bristled, and his eyes were bloodshot. After chasing all this time, he was about to lose them. What was most hateful and shameful was that he hadn't even seen who the attacker was from beginning to end. A total of over a dozen young prodigies had entered. Their group was one contingent, with others dispersed elsewhere.

"I'm so mad I could die!" Gouwa roared. It was infuriating. He had taken a punch to the back of his head, his treasure—a blend of Heaven-Blood Mother Gold and Star-Sky Mother Gold—had been snatched, and he hadn't even seen who the enemy was. He was furious and embarrassed, trembling with rage. The other few people were also speechless. This was truly a crushing loss. The successor of the Primordial lineage had nearly been ambushed and killed and had lost a rare treasure. It was utterly humiliating.

Who did this? Was it a young prodigy from the Hunyi Heavenly Venerate lineage?

"Could it be that shameless Ji Dade?" the little crow mumbled indistinctly. The others didn't hear clearly.

"Don't let me catch you! I'll kill you and grind your bones to dust!" Gouwa roared, his face contorted, driven mad with hatred.

Suddenly, several dragon claws appeared from mid-air, clawing towards the skulls of several individuals. Cold light glinted from their incomparably sharp tips, accompanied by the sound of thunder as they struck out abruptly. Several dragons reappeared, ambushing them!

"Slay the dragons, get rid of them!" The Taiwu Heavenly Venerate lineage prodigy's hair bristled with rage. He was already brimming with suppressed fury, and now it completely erupted.

"Roar!" Dragon roars echoed, and killing intent surged as the battle became extremely fierce.

Chu Feng had run away, escaping into a pile of rubble. Along the way, he also hid inside a lightning-struck tree, making his escape exceptionally swift and sly. He truly didn't want to confront the enraged Gouwa right now, nor did he want to be targeted by the other few individuals coveting the treasure. He preferred to hide for a while and then decide.

After a long while, Chu Feng circled back. Looking at the Nirvana land, he frowned for a moment, pondered, and then gave up on the place. He decided not to compete with the girl who resembled Lin Yaoyi. There was more than one place for Nirvana in the Dragon Nest, and he believed the dwelling of the old Dragon Heavenly Venerate should also be powerful enough.

Chu Feng quietly withdrew and began searching. Sure enough, he found it after half a day: a dark, secluded cave, located in a very hidden spot at the top of the cave wall, winding downwards along the mountain. Originally, this place was sealed and concealed by a natural energy field, making it difficult to discover. However, it was eventually found by several Heavenly Venerates who ventured deep inside and defeated the sleeping old dragon. Without a doubt, this path was very sturdy, paved with divine magnetic materials and various other rare components, forming a strong and reliable passage.

As he delved deeper underground, Chu Feng's brows furrowed. It was completely empty inside, too clean; everything had been moved out. He understood. Any leftover artifacts from the slumbering place of a Heavenly Venerate-level old dragon would likely be very dangerous, unsuitable for young prodigies to touch. They would also be priceless, so they had probably been completely divided among the Heavenly Venerates who attacked this place.

Chu Feng searched all the way. Convinced there were no other creatures present, he emerged from the eggshell. He had remained hidden inside earlier, fearing an encounter with dragons, as it would have been easier to blend in while concealed.

"Has the creation of this place been destroyed?" Chu Feng frowned, noticing that the earth veins were damaged and the dragon's lair was cracked. It was not even as good as the place where the young dragons resided. As he wandered around, a thought suddenly struck him. He observed carefully, realizing this place somewhat resembled an ancient domain field described in a silver paper left by the Saint Master.

Chu Feng was surprised. He thought about what he had seen in the young dragons' dwelling place and then wandered around this area again. Suddenly, his body trembled violently. "This is truly remarkably similar!"

"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?!" Chu Feng was astonished. There was a very special type of domain field that, by utilizing a single source of creation material, could derive three different landforms and three layers of minor world space. Currently, he had only seen two layers of minor world space. Could there be another layer?

"The Dao gives birth to one, three gives birth to all things." Here, there was a source of creation that split into three streams, evolving into the terrain of three layers of minor world space. Such a domain field layout was called "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones." The silver paper left by the Saint Master was very mysterious. Chu Feng had not yet thoroughly studied it, and even the Saint Master back then had been far from reaching its full understanding.

Chu Feng's heart burned with excitement, but at the same time, a chill ran down his spine. What could possibly be hidden in the third layer of space? He felt it shouldn't be a danger and that there shouldn't be any living creatures there. If there were, why would it have allowed several Heavenly Venerates to attack? It would have simply annihilated them.

Chu Feng searched frantically, guessing it might be the Dragon race's greatest creation land, holding secrets from past generations. He carefully recalled the records on the silver paper and, following that layout, searched for a path to enter the third layer of minor world space. However, he searched for most of the day without results. It was too hidden. He knew it should be this way; otherwise, how could it have eluded several Heavenly Venerates?

Finally, he repeatedly measured and verified. Strictly following the records on the silver paper, he continuously searched in a specific area. It was only when he inadvertently touched a thumb-sized stone that a sudden change occurred. His feet went soft, and he inexplicably sank into a rock, where he discovered a path. With a whoosh, he plummeted downwards, landing in an underground labyrinth like a spider web.

"This is it!" Chu Feng's heart pounded. Following the domain field records, he activated a wisp of geomagnetic energy, which, using a special secret method, guided his path forward. Finally, he arrived before a spacious underground palace. During this process, he held his breath, took out the stone jar, and hid inside it, carefully maneuvering forward and concealing all traces of himself. He was genuinely afraid of accidents and any unforeseen changes. After all, this type of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" domain field was not something an ordinary person could establish, and it seemed to be concealing some astonishing secret.

This underground palace was not dim; it emitted a soft light. Chu Feng put in a lot of effort. Even following the records on the silver paper, it still took him a full day to finally approach his destination. During this time, he several times narrowly avoided touching forbidden formations. He was certain that without the domain field layout map, even a Divine Master in the field of domainology would surely die if they came here. Even the strongest person, if they rashly broke in, would die without a burial place. Chu Feng broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, this part of his memory was still clear, and he hadn't forgotten the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" formation; otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.

Finally, he approached the core area. Hiding inside the stone jar, completely concealed among the rubble, he looked forward. In an instant, his body tensed up, his soul trembled, and he was utterly terrified. He saw an incredible sight!

What was that?! Was that a Heavenly Venerate? There shouldn't be any mistake. That withered body, still surrounded by fragments of the Great Dao even after death, was proof of his invincible power in life. It was an old man with pale gold skin, a withered body, and snow-white, crystalline hair. Although dead, his Dao aura remained undiminished, still capable of awing the heavens. If it weren't for him kneeling there, which diminished his prestige, this body, surrounded by fragments of the Great Dao, was truly terrifying, its might earth-shattering.

The fact that he was kneeling there profoundly shocked Chu Feng. At the same time, he clearly saw that the old man's face was filled with terror. He... was kowtowing towards some colossal entity? And he... was already dead!

Frightened to death?! Chu Feng's hair stood on end. It was simply unbelievable!

"What is that?!" Chu Feng felt a tremor in both his body and soul. He had been completely unaware of it earlier, failing to see the colossal mass. For some reason, he had automatically overlooked it. It could automatically obscure everything?! His soul was trembling. What was that thing that could make a Heavenly Venerate kneel and scare him to death!
