Chapter 1150: Old Gu's Appearance

The heavenly tribulation failed to appear in time, and Chu Feng's heart sank, realizing how bizarre this island was.

The creature charged, radiating an overbearing and immensely powerful energy. Its body was as black as ink, enveloped in a mass of dark light. Was this the so-called Seven Deaths Body, leading to the ultimate peak?

Chu Feng dodged, his main goal being to retrieve the stone jar, an item of immense importance that he could not afford to lose!

Moreover, only with the stone jar in hand could he hope to contend with the scripture blessed by the Martial Maniac.

Evidently, Old Gu also knew the situation was critical. The Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin glowed, and a surging blood mist, like a crimson ocean, rapidly crashed towards the creature.

The only fortunate thing was that the scripture had been struck by the stone jar's lid, sending it flying and causing the Martial Maniac's figure to dissipate. Otherwise, if the scripture had remained, it would have been a sure death trap.

The Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin was incredibly fast as Old Gu employed a secret technique. However, the creature's reaction was equally sharp, unleashing a torrent of snowy white blade light that filled the area.

With a clang, sparks flew from the stone coffin. This strike caused Old Gu immense discomfort, and his blood mist was rapidly depleting.

But the most terrifying aspect was the creature's own palm, which, when pressed against the Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin, caused dark light to surge. Then, not to mention Old Gu himself, even Chu Feng, from a distance, could feel the terrifying power oscillating between life and death.

The creature enveloped in dark light seemed to emerge from the underworld, its body seething with a deathly aura that corroded the Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin. Such energy was truly horrifying.

Old Gu let out a low growl, his blood energy boiling and transforming into streaks of crimson light that burst forth, blocking the dark aura and forcing the creature to retreat.

Clearly, even someone as formidable as Old Gu was wary, fighting with all his might and holding nothing back this time.

As the creature retreated, its deathly aura dissipated, replaced by a surging, dense vitality on its body. When it attacked others, it was death energy that corroded; when it concerned itself, it was vitality that enveloped it.

Life and death, all in a single thought.

Was this the terrifying power of the Seven Deaths Body?

At this moment, Chu Feng had already rushed towards the stone jar, knowing that once he had it in his grasp, he would have considerable confidence.

Unfortunately, though he had possessed the stone jar for quite some time, he had never been able to fully refine it or establish any connection, leaving him at a disadvantage.

He believed this was mainly because the item's level was too high, perhaps spanning several civilization eras and thus unfathomable.

Just as Chu Feng touched the stone jar, his spiritual energy was scattered, making it even harder to control, and he himself felt as if struck by lightning.

That creature began summoning the scripture blessed by the Martial Maniac. The sound of chanting shook the heavens, resembling a Zen chant or a demon ancestor's sermon, reverberating throughout the area.

As the scripture's pages turned, countless symbols flew out, threatening to manifest the Martial Maniac's figure once more.

Chu Feng's body nearly exploded. The summoned scripture, being so close, severely affected him, rendering him almost unable to move.

Simultaneously, the creature moved incredibly fast, reaching the stone jar before Old Gu. It had clearly perceived that this seemingly dull jar was highly unusual—an unimaginable treasure.

"You dare!"

Old Gu was greatly alarmed. Knowing the immense importance of the stone jar, he flew after it, attempting to reclaim it.

In mid-air, the two collided. Old Gu fought desperately, his Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin stained with blood as he finally caught up and crashed into his opponent.

At this point, Chu Feng moved with difficulty, leaving the scripture's vicinity. Fortunately, as the scripture swayed, the emitted runes had not yet managed to form the Martial Maniac.

Otherwise, he would have instantly exploded, with no hope of survival.

Chu Feng flew into the distance, found the stone jar's lid, and seized control of it. His expression was grim; he had never encountered a situation where the main body of the stone jar might be lost.

Without a moment's hesitation, he charged towards the scripture, holding the lid, and directly struck it with force.

*Whish!*

The scripture tumbled, was struck, and flew away, its pages fluttering wildly, finally landing among a pile of distant corpses, far from the battle.

Chu Feng moved like lightning, rushing towards the two combatants. However, at that very moment, a figure appeared, blocking his path, extending a finger and pointing it at Chu Feng.

This person, tall and straight in crimson armor, stood like a demonic mountain, exuding an overbearing and incredibly powerful aura. A single finger gesture split the sky!

He was too formidable! A peak-level God-King expert, after splitting the void with a finger, caused three true dragons to emerge from his fingertip, intertwining and letting out roars that shook the nine heavens.

This sight astounded not only Chu Feng but even Old Gu, as it was his elder brother's secret technique!

His elder brother, named Li, was also known as Li Three Dragons. Legend claimed he could unleash the power of three dragons with a single finger, though, more accurately, it was a combat technique.

Now someone was replicating this technique!

The three dragons were massive and lifelike: one with gleaming black scales, as if cast from steel; another blood-red, with a massive, terrifying body; and the third entirely silver-white, its scales seemingly ablaze, illuminating the nine heavens.

The three enormous true dragons intertwined, charging towards Chu Feng with heads held high, their energy immensely vast.

Chu Feng's eyes were already bloodshot. He brandished the stone jar's lid and struck; with no other choice, he could only fight to the bitter end.

*Crack!*

At that very moment, the long-delayed heavenly tribulation suddenly descended, unleashing one bolt of lightning after another.

Before him, the three massive dragon bodies were completely engulfed by the lightning, enduring the assault of the strongest heavenly tribulation.

Startled, Chu Feng immediately brought the stone jar's lid in front of him, then moved it above his head to defend himself. In his view, this heavenly tribulation was currently inescapable.

The three dragons eventually vanished, but their momentary struggle was alarming, as that person's casual finger gesture alone could contend with the strongest heavenly tribulation.

However, the heavenly tribulation came quickly and vanished just as suddenly. The entire outer area of the island became covered by fragments of time, obscuring the sky.

Just moments ago, it was the agitation of these time fragments that had created a fissure, allowing a heavenly secret to leak and the lightning tribulation to descend.

"Don't mind him, he's just an ant. Help me seize the jar!" cried the creature, whose entire body was covered in dark light, with both excitement and urgency.

He was in fierce battle with Old Gu; the stone coffin trembled from the impacts. Their struggle for the stone jar had reached a white-hot intensity.

The person in crimson armor, who had previously displayed Li's secret technique, vanished from his spot like an illusion and reappeared the next moment near Old Gu, striking the stone coffin.

Almost simultaneously, Chu Feng also rushed over to help Old Gu fight and to seize the stone jar.

*Boom!*

Dark light poured out as the creature cultivating the Seven Deaths Body, its body seething with death energy, furiously injected it into the stone coffin. Then, it stepped onto the Heavenly Gold Stone Coffin, turned, and pounced towards the stone jar with incredible speed.

"Get back!"

Old Gu suffered a huge loss. In a flash, he surprisingly shouted at Chu Feng, telling him not to approach.

*Crack!*

*Boom!*

At that very moment, the stone coffin disintegrated, its energy violently bursting forth. Blood light scattered as Old Gu, in a furious rage, emerged, revealing his true appearance.

At that moment, the person in crimson armor was sent flying, coughing blood. The impact from the stone coffin's explosion had been too great for him.

Furthermore, the creature cultivating the Seven Deaths Body was also coughing up blood, but it successfully fled towards the stone jar, finally on the verge of success.

Old Gu's emergence stunned everyone. With rosy lips and white teeth, he was a classic handsome youth, a true pretty boy, without a single trace of old age.

At this moment, his murderous intent was boundless. The fact that someone was using his elder brother's secret technique and was allied with a descendant of the Martial Maniac made him unbearable.

At that moment, the creature cultivating the Seven Deaths Body seized the stone jar, causing Chu Feng's heart to sink. This ancient artifact had changed hands for the first time.
