Chapter 1151: Three Transformations Absolute King

Chu Feng's heart sank as he lost the ultimate stone jar. Only he truly understood the profound impact of this loss, as his current achievements, earned throughout his journey, were deeply intertwined with that jar. Inside it were three seeds, the very foundation of his rise.

Old Gu's long hair fluttered, and his slender figure, along with an enigmatic crimson pattern on his forehead, gave him the appearance of a handsome young man. Yet, his killing intent was overwhelming, and his eyes were icy cold.

"Old Gu, how did you become such a pretty boy?" Even at such a critical juncture, Chu Feng couldn't help but blurt out the question.

Although he was furious at being ambushed, what could be changed now? He tried his best to relax and calm down, hoping to devise the best countermeasure. As for Old Gu, his appearance was truly beyond Chu Feng's expectations. Old Gu's voice was ancient, yet his youthful look was surprisingly tender.

"This old man has failed this time. I emerged prematurely, my metamorphosis is incomplete, and I cannot fully restore my power. I can only start over," Old Gu said, his voice indeed still ancient.

The two beings opposite them stared with surprise, yet they remained remarkably calm, their expressions cold. Everything seemed under their control; they clearly held the initiative and advantage. Moreover, the four creatures guarding the Bloodline Tree nearby were also closing in, blocking Old Gu and Chu Feng's escape route.

Chu Feng sighed. He couldn't claim he had been careless today; rather, the enemies were simply too powerful. They possessed scriptures personally blessed by the Martial Madman and were incredibly cautious, lurking in the shadows, always ready to hunt and waiting for both him and Old Gu. Old Gu showed no fear towards the four approaching creatures. While they were also God-Kings, they were certainly no match for the two individuals directly facing them.

One was a genius from the Martial Madman's lineage, and the other was an inheritor from his elder brother's lineage; both were exceptionally strong. The former, in particular, was cultivating the Seven Deaths Body, which was terrifying.

"That being enveloped in a dark light should not be touched lightly, or you'll be corroded by the power of death. This person is too strong!" Old Gu warned Chu Feng.

What was the Seven Deaths Body? Chu Feng was very puzzled that it could make Old Gu so wary, even causing him to suffer a disadvantage in their recent confrontation. He knew that Old Gu wasn't even afraid of the God-Kings of the Alien Desolation Race, yet he was extremely concerned about this person cultivating the Seven Deaths Body.

"The so-called Seven Deaths Body refers to someone who must die seven times!" Old Gu's single sentence stunned Chu Feng.

The atmosphere was tense, with both sides locked in a standoff, neither eager to make the first move.

"Die seven times?!"

"Yes!" Old Gu nodded, secretly providing the details. In this world, some individuals with ordinary aptitude find advancement difficult. They can only achieve breakthroughs by entering death seclusion; success means transforming into a soaring dragon, while failure leads to perishing into dry bones. Such individuals, who reverse life and death during the perilous death seclusion process, become exceptionally formidable once they advance, far surpassing ordinary evolutionaries. Ancient sages, in pursuit of ultimate power, summarized their experiences and created the Seven Deaths Body. Ordinary evolutionaries entered death seclusion out of necessity to achieve breakthroughs, but prehistoric geniuses with astonishing talent actively studied this process, seeking even greater strength. The latter, who had no trouble advancing to begin with, sought to achieve ultimate power through transcendence, striving for extreme strength within their current level.

Thus, the Seven Deaths Body came into being!

"Don't tell me such people have to undergo death seclusion seven times during breakthroughs, dying seven times and living seven times!" Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"Exactly!" Old Gu nodded, then secretly told him, "Think about it: undergoing death seclusion seven times means truly dying seven times!" How many in this world dared to take such a risk? Yet, any who succeeded were bound to be immensely powerful, invincible at their level!

"Every time they evolve, every time they attempt a higher realm, they have to die seven times? Is that true for all realms?" Chu Feng simply couldn't believe it. He looked at the being enveloped in dark light opposite him, a true sense of dread now settling in.

"If such a person truly exists, my elder brother wouldn't be their match; he'd have to run away on sight. He said this himself back then," Old Gu sighed.

The divisions of evolutionary realms were numerous. Dying seven times before breaking through each realm? What kind of joke was that? No one could achieve such a feat! In fact, even achieving the Seven Deaths Body within a single realm, reversing life and death seven times, was extremely difficult. How many in this vast world could possibly achieve such a feat?!

Old Gu sighed, "The Martial Madman's lineage is full of madmen. It's truly terrifying and powerful that one of his descendants is actually cultivating this method!" The information he revealed indicated that the Martial Madman himself was such a person, having cultivated the Seven Deaths Body in the past.

"How many realms did the Martial Madman achieve the Seven Deaths Body in back then?" Chu Feng asked.

Old Gu replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? Creatures who can cultivate the Seven Deaths Body in even one realm are extremely rare, seldom seen since ancient times. As for the Martial Madman, I believe he must have perfected it in one realm, perhaps even cultivated the Seven Deaths Body in two. Otherwise, why would my elder brother have such a difficult time dealing with him?" He shook his head. For others, let alone multiple realms, even cultivating the Seven Deaths Body to the point of dying three times in a single realm would be considered extraordinary talent! For normal beings, reversing life and death even once was considered a miracle, let alone more than three times.

So, what about the person before them?

"This person has grand ambitions. He is cultivating the Seven Deaths Body at the God-King level. Once he succeeds and breaks through this realm, he will become the strongest Heavenly Venerate in the world!" At the same level, almost no one could contend with him. However, this person had likely only reversed life and death three times, still far from seven.

"Only three times?" Chu Feng asked, surprised.

Old Gu, displeased, retorted, "What's with your attitude? Do you think what I said about seven reversals of life and death is easy? Not many people managed to do it even in the prehistoric eras when countless heroes emerged!" Then he emphasized, "Having three such experiences at the God-King realm, do you know what that means? That's known as a Three-Reversal Peerless King!"

"What does that mean?" Chu Feng asked, looking at him.

Old Gu explained, "After a God-King undergoes three reversals of life and death, they become almost unmatched at their level, with few rivals. They can annihilate other kings. Do you have a clear impression now?"

Chu Feng finally understood. The power of the so-called Seven Deaths Body, dying seven times and living seven times, meant being virtually unrivaled at the same level—a testament to the Martial Madman's path. He finally understood why Old Gu, usually so arrogant and dismissive of other heroes, was today so cautious and wary of that particular person. The fact that Old Gu, Li's brother, was so cautious was enough to demonstrate the formidable power of the Martial Madman's descendant.

Although the two were exchanging information secretly, it all happened in an instant. Their conversation, conducted via divine sense, was naturally completed in a single thought. At the same time, Old Gu told Chu Feng that the God-King in crimson armor, who had received his elder brother's legacy, was also very strong. He seemed to have inherited the full true teachings, and his methods in the recent confrontation were astonishing, marking him as another formidable enemy.

On the other side, the two opponents were also secretly communicating. They were surprised by Old Gu, as someone with a Three-Reversal Seven Deaths Body should theoretically be able to suppress all God-Kings in the world, yet they hadn't managed to defeat Old Gu.

"Alas, what a pity," Old Gu lamented, "my body hasn't recovered, and my metamorphosis left flaws. Otherwise, even if he possessed a true Seven Deaths Body, I would dare to confront him head-on!" Old Gu expressed regret, but he wasn't disheartened; there were other ways to remedy the imperfections left on his evolutionary path.

After a few quick, secret exchanges with Chu Feng, Old Gu suddenly made his move. The longer they waited, the more disadvantageous it would become for them.

"Fighting us? You're seeking death!" The man cultivating the Seven Deaths Body sneered, his expression cold, and grabbed the stone jar, smashing it toward them. He was convinced it was an ultimate treasure. To his astonishment, however, no matter how much energy he poured into it to activate it, the stone jar remained unresponsive and could not be mobilized. In fact, Old Gu was waiting for this very opportunity. After spending time with Chu Feng, he naturally knew that the jar was peculiar and wouldn't react no matter who tried to activate it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Ten thousand crimson rays, all sword lights, burst forth from Old Gu's body, spinning into a vast, terrifying river of sword qi. It was like a flood of divine swords breaching a dam, rushing forward with a roar.

Boom! Heaven and earth exploded. The area was engulfed in surging energy, like furious waves, as a fierce collision took place. Runes appeared in vast swathes, imprinting themselves in the void. Old Gu immediately unleashed a killer move!

The Martial Madman's descendant grunted. He hadn't expected the stone jar to be unresponsive. Assailed by sword qi and covered by runes, his body showed several sword marks, stained with blood. However, he reacted swiftly and soon turned the tide of battle. In the end, death energy surged, and Old Gu was sent flying. His immensely powerful sword light, enough to slay a group of God-Kings and a testament to his pride, was nonetheless dispersed by the Martial Madman's descendant.

Old Gu suffered a great loss. His pale young face was drained of color, and he was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, gravely wounded.

"Old Gu!" Chu Feng shouted. This was Li's sworn brother; even if his body was flawed and not in peak condition, being sent flying by an opponent was still terrifying. Old Gu, who could normally slay a group of God-Kings, being so gravely wounded by an opponent was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

"Damn it, he's almost perfected the Four-Reversal Seven Deaths Body—this is utterly dreadful!" Old Gu swore, his entire body turning crimson as blood mist resonated around him, roaring.

Chu Feng realized that even though he had taken it seriously, he had still underestimated the extreme power of the Seven Deaths Body, which led to ultimate supremacy. No wonder it had shocked past and present, and even the Martial Madman had walked this path.

Boom! The worst part was that the man in crimson armor, who had received Li's legacy, also made his move. His ten fingers trembled wildly as true dragons roared one after another, shaking the nine heavens. They all surged forth, their colossal bodies and steel-like scales cold and menacing, roaring deafeningly as they charged towards Old Gu. He, too, made a move, aiming to utterly slay Old Gu. Next, the Martial Madman's descendant's body erupted with brilliant dark light, emitting thunderous sounds. The void tore apart as he attacked once more.

Chu Feng didn't hesitate and charged directly forward. How could he tolerate those two trying to utterly slay Old Gu?

"Fall back!" Old Gu roared secretly, surprisingly demanding this of Chu Feng. Then, Chu Feng saw Old Gu's entire body turn a vibrant, crystalline crimson, blood-light soaring into the sky as dozens of symbols appeared on his form. He forcibly withstood the Three-Reversal Peerless King and fiercely fought Li's inheritor.

Rumble! The area exploded violently. For a moment, energy engulfed everything, and nothing could be seen as Old Gu and the two opponents seemed to have vanished.

In the end, Chu Feng's eyes turned red because, after he opened his Fiery Golden Eyes, he saw Old Gu flung sideways, covered in blood. His body was nearly severed in two, his internal organs and intestines almost spilling onto the ground, and his soul light was dim. This was a grievous injury! However, the other two were also in rough shape, stained with blood, but their injuries were much lighter than Old Gu's. It should be noted that Old Gu had just used a trump card to utterly slay the two opponents, but he didn't succeed. This further illustrated the terrifying prowess of a Three-Reversal Peerless King level evolutionary.

"Damn it, a bunch of God-Kings would have been killed by me, but these two are still alive and largely unharmed?!" Old Gu fumed. His own condition was dire, yet his opponents were seemingly unscathed.

At this moment, Chu Feng's gaze was terrifying. He saw Reincarnation Earth scattered everywhere on the ground. Just now, during the fierce collision, the Martial Madman's descendant had used the stone jar to counter, but the jar was almost knocked away, and its contents spilled everywhere.

"Brother Tiger!" Chu Feng called out, shocked, angry, and anxious.

At the last moment, as the energy dissipated, the Martial Madman's descendant actually shook the jar, throwing out half of the Northeastern Tiger's body. It was almost reduced to a pulp of flesh, with no soul light fluctuations.

Chu Feng's eyes were bloodshot. He had been too passive today. His heart was tense and filled with anger. With a whoosh, he turned into a streak of light, grabbing an artifact: the chopstick-sized black wooden spear. In the recent struggle with Old Gu, the Martial Madman's descendant had desperately tried to activate the stone jar he held, but it had no effect. The jar remained unresponsive, instead spilling its contents. Chu Feng saw Reincarnation Earth, the black wooden spear, and three seeds on the ground—all items he cared about most. However, at the last moment, he only chose the wooden spear and grabbed a handful of Reincarnation Earth, as these were the only crucial artifacts that could turn the tide of battle. The other items were even more heaven-defying, but they were useless to him at this moment.

"Three-Reversal Peerless King? I'll make you absolutely extinct!" Chu Feng roared.
