Chapter 1214: Chu Ultimate

Chu Feng was not afraid. After all, there were rules here: evolutionaries from the same Yongzhou faction were forbidden from bullying others within the camp, or they would face severe punishment.

Conversely, low-level cultivators could actively challenge higher-level evolutionaries, and depending on the circumstances, they might even be encouraged and rewarded. This was because discovering talents capable of fighting across major realms, where the lower ranks defeat the higher, was something all the elders wished to see. Such exceptionally gifted individuals were greatly needed.

“Are you talking to me? Do you wish to die?!” Chifeng, the Divine King of the Nine-Headed Bird clan, said coldly. His pupils had even turned dark red, a terrifying sight.

In an instant, an invisible pressure threatened to erupt.

“Who dares to cause trouble?!”

Just then, an aged, firm voice rang out.

Chifeng immediately snorted, retracting his Divine King aura. Divine Kings who qualified to be here possessed boundless potential, with the possibility of ascending to Heavenly Venerate. Therefore, individuals like Chifeng were extremely arrogant and proud. Even when rebuked by the unseen elder, he paid little heed, believing he would eventually reach that realm.

At this moment, Yuntuo, the three-headed divine dragon, spoke, eyeing Chu Feng sinisterly. “Cao De, you’re not old, yet your temper is quite something. I predict you’ll meet a violent end soon. Those who lack reverence for deities and Divine Kings don’t live long!”

This was a blatant threat, a clear attempt at intimidation.

Chu Feng sneered, “What are you even? Do you think you’re so great just because you’re a deity? Don’t rush, I’ll soon reach your level and teach you some manners. In fact, I particularly enjoy slaying dragons. And do the Nine-Headed Bird clan really believe they’re superior? Sooner or later, I’ll enter the Eleventh Forbidden Land to see what’s inside—isn’t that where your Nine-Headed Bird clan emerged from? Don’t provoke me, or you’ll regret it. At that point, it won’t just be a calamity for the Nine-Headed Bird clan; that entire forbidden land will be in jeopardy!”

Yuntuo and Chifeng were both stunned. Cao De’s audacity was immense; not only did he refuse to submit, but he dared to publicly threaten and intimidate them in return. He even brazenly declared he would annihilate a forbidden land!

Many people nearby, upon hearing this, were utterly speechless. The young man’s bravado was truly astounding.

“Those with ‘De’ in their names are indeed arrogant,” someone sighed.

Qingyin, too, paused, giving him another look.

At this moment, the Monkey, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao quickly squeezed through the crowd, pulling Chu Feng away. They felt their friend was a firecracker, easily ignited and prone to causing trouble wherever he went. ‘We’ve already dared to kill the offspring of powerful clans, can’t we just keep a low profile?’ they thought. Especially since he was even talking about sweeping away forbidden lands—people would laugh at him!

Even the infamous ‘Black Hand’ Li Li, back in his day, wouldn’t have dared to be so audacious at this age, would he?

“You insolent fool, how dare you threaten me? You might have the chance to absorb the Dao-Fusing Grass here, but you won’t live to leave. I predict you’ll meet a violent end soon; you won’t last long!”

Chifeng’s words were a direct declaration, implying he would certainly seize an opportunity to strike a fatal blow and eliminate Cao De. In truth, regardless of whether a conflict erupted today, he was already determined to do so. After all, his kinsman, the Nine-Headed Bird, had been brutally attacked and nearly died, and his sworn brothers had all been wiped out.

“Who exactly are you threatening?!”

At that moment, before Chu Feng could respond, a handsome figure stepped forward, approaching them. Golden runes swirled around him, front and back, making heaven and earth resonate, and he seemed cloaked in the light of the Great Dao—a truly formidable sight. It was none other than Mihong, the Divine King of the Six-Eared Macaque clan!

It must be said that this clan’s talent was terrifying. They had very few members in total, yet this time, a family of three siblings had all made it onto this list. It was almost a miracle for three members of this clan to emerge in a single generation, given their dreadfully low birth rate; it often took centuries to produce a single new bloodline.

“Mihong, a battle between us is inevitable. Don’t rush; I’ll settle accounts with your Six-Eared clan in due time!” Chifeng of the Nine-Headed Bird clan stated chillingly.

“What are you, a mere Nine-Headed Bird clan? Others might fear you, but my clan is fearless! Is it simply because you have a forbidden land backing you? If you have the courage, let the beings from the Eleventh Forbidden Land emerge!” Mihong retorted coldly. He stood majestically, like a spear, blocking Chu Feng, the Monkey, and Peng Wanli.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt a pang of guilt. Just recently, he had been confronting Mihong in the wilderness arena, and now, so soon after, Mihong was standing up for him. He decided that in the future, he would gently reveal the truth. Otherwise, if Mihong discovered his true identity as Ji Dade, he might well vomit blood in shock.

The Monkey spoke up, asserting for his brother, “Bro, do you still need to handle him? Leave it to me. I don’t think he has a chance of becoming a Heavenly Venerate within a century. Once I become a Divine King, I’ll smash all nine of his heads with a single strike!”

“Very well, you group of fanatics. Sooner or later, we will have our reckoning. None of you will escape!” Chifeng said grimly.

Yuntuo, the three-headed divine dragon, merely chuckled faintly. “You fail to grasp the bigger picture. Some individuals you simply cannot afford to offend. When the time comes, history will prove everything. You’ve sided with the wrong person, and then it won’t just be yourselves who perish, but your entire clans behind you will be wiped out.”

Chu Feng sneered, “Are you perhaps talking about yourself? As a member of the ‘De’ generation, destined to become the ultimate evolutionary, destroying you would bring no glory. History might record that you were fortunate enough to fall at the feet of ‘Chu Ultimate’—consider it your clan’s final honor.”

Yuntuo’s mouth twitched. The sheer audacity of Chu Feng’s bragging felt like it could collapse the heavens. His shamelessness left Yuntuo at a loss for how to refute or even intimidate him. This was because Chu Feng simply didn’t care, showed no fear, and plainly had an utterly thick skin.

As the Monkey pulled Chu Feng away, he said, “Alright, alright, stop boasting. You can’t handle them right now, so be a bit more realistic. Haven’t you noticed Kunlong watching you from a distance for ages? Be careful.”

“What? Kunlong is here too? Wasn’t he crippled by my attack?” Chu Feng asked, surprised.

The Monkey wanted to curse. “Didn’t I just tell you? Kunlong arrived ages ago! You didn’t listen at all?!”

It was then that Chu Feng finally noticed Kunlong in the distance, observing him with indifference. With a long saber on his back, the First Saint exuded an astonishing aura!

Chu Feng observed Kunlong’s intensely cold and hostile gaze, yet he remained utterly unfazed. Instead, he enthusiastically waved and greeted Kunlong. Anyone unaware of their history might have assumed they shared a deep friendship and an unusual bond.

“Clang!”

The saber on Kunlong’s back automatically unsheathed. He yearned to use it to kill Cao De! A swath of gleaming white saber light circled him, surrounding him and making him appear truly formidable.

“Don’t move!” Chu Feng called out, then added with a seemingly helpful reminder, “Make sure you don’t drop it again!”

“Cao… De!” Kunlong’s face turned ashen. He truly wished to strike down this man immediately.

From the shadows, a cold snort warned him against drawing his saber and attacking.

Then, Chu Feng simply ignored him, leisurely strolling past as if nothing had happened.

“Don’t get worked up; he’s doing it on purpose to agitate you, which will affect your speed when absorbing the Dao-Fusing Grass later!” someone beside him reminded him.

Not long after, a brilliant golden light shimmered in the distance as the Green-Eyed Golden-Scaled Red-Feathered Beast clan—also known as the Mutated Qilin clan—appeared. Jin Lin and her brother Jin Lie approached together.

“Oh, you’re still allowed here? I thought I’d replaced you and you’d been disqualified,” Chu Feng remarked, looking at Jin Lin. His words were designed to pierce her heart and expose her shortcomings.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lin’s beautiful, jade-like face instantly darkened. She longed to seize Cao De and viciously beat him to pieces.

“Cao De, don’t be so pleased with yourself! You ambushed me first last time; I will settle this with you!” she said bitterly. She steadfastly believed that Cao De had ambushed her, making her lose the initiative and thus fall to defeat. Otherwise, how could she possibly have been captured? She still harbored deep resentment and shame over it.

“Oh, don’t be like that. Between us, I’ve actually always wanted to take you in…” Chu Feng said.

At that moment, not only Jin Lin herself, but also her brother and many nearby individuals showed peculiar expressions. Of course, many of them also cast murderous glances.

“You… you can die!” Jin Lin exclaimed, enraged and humiliated.

“My mistake,” Chu Feng corrected, casually, “I meant, take as a mount.”

The group stared blankly, then suddenly realized how incredibly arrogant this fellow was, provoking everyone around him.

“Grandpa, can you just cool it for a bit? Please, don’t say anything else!” At this point, even the Monkey couldn’t take it, feeling that Cao De was far too troublesome. Just when things had quieted down, he was stirring up more hatred.

Indeed, Jin Lin was so enraged she was on the verge of exploding, almost driven mad. Her exquisite face was etched with murderous intent.

In fact, Chu Feng didn’t care in the slightest. He planned to leave as soon as he finished absorbing the Dao-Fusing Grass. Lately, he had been acting impulsively, causing considerable trouble. If he didn’t leave after gaining his benefits, was he supposed to wait for retaliation? Thus, he was now completely uninhibited, caring nothing about the consequences. He would confront anyone he disliked, since he intended to simply pack up and leave anyway.

“And you, Jin Lie, you bastard! You actually conspired with that Kunlong who couldn’t even hold his saber, and that grandson from the Nine-Headed Bird clan, to scheme against me. Last time, I didn’t cut you down, but everyone else, from Kunlong to the Nine-Headed Bird, has already been taught a lesson by me. So, sooner or later, I’ll have to give you a lesson too!”

Chu Feng truly verbally attacked everyone he saw.

Everyone present was speechless. This person’s arrogance was simply sky-high. Was he worried he didn’t have enough enemies, trying to make the entire world his foe? Everyone was left dumbfounded. Many people, seeing him approach, quickly turned and walked away, eager to avoid getting near him for fear of incurring an unwarranted disaster or being inexplicably berated.

“This is unbearable!”

Yuntuo, the three-headed divine dragon, was the first to lose his patience. He called over a group of those who had suffered at Chu Feng’s hands, proposing they unite against him.

At this moment, Jin Lin was the most provoked. Her lithe, beautiful body trembled, and she was the first to respond upon hearing the suggestion. “Later, when we absorb the Dao-Fusing Grass, let’s all target him together and give him no opportunity!” she declared.

The First Saint, Kunlong, spoke up. “Hmph, I’ll sit right next to him later and absorb the Dao-Fusing Grass openly. Can he possibly be faster than me?”

“Interesting,” Chifeng, the Divine King of the Nine-Headed Bird clan, said chillingly. “I’ll also sit beside him later.” He, too, intended to do the same.

Jin Lie added, “Good. Later, we’ll all sit right by him. I refuse to believe his internal Void Artifact can surpass ours. Let him watch the Dao-Fusing Grass and weep, fuming with impatience but unable to compete with us!”

They planned their retaliation, intending to send Cao De back empty-handed.

The Six-Eared Macaque’s ears twitched slightly. His spiritual senses were incredibly keen, and he immediately caught their whispered conspiracy, promptly informing Chu Feng.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng’s expression turned cold. “Oh, really? I’d like to see who dares to sit next to me. They’ll end up crying and toiling in vain, absorbing nothing at all.” He had full confidence in the small millstone within him. After all, it was a celestial object that had undergone the trials of the ultimate cycle of reincarnation. He believed it was a perfect masterpiece among Void Artifacts.

He had only learned today that this extraordinary semi-material, semi-energy treasure, the small millstone, was called a Void Artifact.

He was confident he would make them all regret it and spit blood.
