Chapter 1218: Inscriptions on the Path of Reincarnation

"What are you being so arrogant about? An ant at the Golden Body level dares to roar at a dragon?!"

Someone shouted, striding quickly towards Chu Feng and pointing a finger right in front of his nose.

Chu Feng was direct and crude: "If you're not convinced, then sit down. Who's afraid of whom? If you're scared, then get lost!"

Instantly, some were itching to strike. This guy was too arrogant. Even though they intended to target Cao De, they couldn't stand his dismissive attitude, looking down on everyone, which infuriated them.

The saber in Kunlong's hand clanged incessantly, almost leaping out of its sheath on its own. A white light, formed from blade energy, spun continuously around him, threatening to tear the void apart.

Jin Lin was even more mortified because Chu Feng had specifically called out her name.

"Jin Lin, aren't you going to follow me? Come over here!"

Who wants to follow you? Jin Lin was furious. They were here to corner him and cut off his opportunities.

With so many people present, if everyone just plundered him a little, he wouldn't be able to absorb the Dao-Melding Grass.

Unless he possessed an astonishing void artifact, one far superior to everyone else's, then the gods and god kings alone would suppress him completely.

Of course, normally no one would do that, as it would divide their focus, slow down their own absorption, and hinder their enlightenment.

However, Cao De was a thorn in their side and had to be removed.

"Alright, my servants, sit properly, all of you, sit next to me. Good, that's right. Don't spread out too far, hurry up!" Chu Feng shouted again.

Such a posture and such words infuriated the group to the point of wanting to commit murder.

They had come to surround him, intending to do just that, but if they actually sat down now, it would look as though they were obeying Cao De's command.

Yun Tuo, the Three-Headed Divine Dragon, spoke coldly: "Cao De, what are you, a mere insect, babbling about? This is a place of enlightenment. If you don't want to meditate here, then get out. Furthermore, we are sitting in this area precisely to suppress you. We're telling you this plainly, so what can you do? We'll bully you to death!"

Kunlong said grimly: "Enough talk. Today, I'll make sure you don't absorb even a single fragment of the Grand Dao. Go back where you came from. You'll get no opportunities, and the essence of creation will be beyond your reach!"

"What are you bragging about? Someone who can't even hold a saber properly dares to show off here? If I were you, I'd just smash my head on the ground and die. Last time, I spared your life by not cleaving you, and you show no gratitude. You're truly an ungrateful wretch! I won't be so polite in the future; I won't give you another chance!"

Chu Feng mocked them, then looked at Yun Tuo, the Three-Headed Divine Dragon, and the others, saying: "Look at your ugly appearances, with tumors growing around your heads, all bizarre and not long for this world. I can't be bothered with you."

Yun Tuo, the Three-Headed Divine Dragon, wanted to flay him alive. What did he mean, "tumors"? The things next to his main head were heads, not tumors!

Besides him, Akashi, the God King of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan, also had an icy expression, staring intently at Chu Feng.

"If you're not convinced, come at me!"

Chu Feng challenged them.

"Silence, sit properly!"

At this moment, an elder's voice came from the shadows.

The area finally quieted down, and everyone returned to their positions, sitting cross-legged on their meditation mats.

Monkey, Peng Wanli, Xiao Yao, and Mi Qing were all signaled by Chu Feng not to approach him, to stay far enough away, as he could handle those people himself.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the Dao-Melding Grass on the altar began to tremble.

Then, a transparent light shield shattered.

Chu Feng gasped, realizing he hadn't noticed the transparent light shield earlier, which had prevented the Dao-Melding Grass's aura from leaking out. It was only now truly unsealed.

Boom!

At this moment, everyone felt it: the aura of the Grand Dao washed over them, nearly forcing them to prostrate themselves and worship.

This was the Dao-Melding Grass. Due to an unforeseen event, the rules of the Grand Dao had once descended upon it, making it a vessel. Although the rules eventually faded, the grass retained a wealth of information and profound mysteries.

Now, it flowed with endless brilliance, releasing various creatures formed from order. Dragon roars and tiger growls immediately echoed, as true dragons and exotic wild tigers fought and roared.

Afterward, Vermilion Birds danced, phoenixes soared upward with endless fire, while white Qilin threatened to tear apart the sky, and Kunpeng spread its wings to cleave the starry void.

These were all anomalies, formed by rules.

Furthermore, there were endless, densely packed symbols, like a mysterious scripture, awaiting comprehension.

Before long, myriad spirits emerged, vibrating and causing a suffocating pressure.

Simultaneously, on each of the nine leaves of the Dao-Melding Grass, nine very special fruits rested, radiating kaleidoscopic colors and emitting Daoist sounds like grand bells.

Chu Feng ignored everything else. He sat there, staring at the Dao-Melding Grass, fully activating the Dao-Stealing Breathing Technique and then urging the small gray millstone within his body.

Besides that, there was also the stone jar, which, like Mount Sumeru contained within a mustard seed, transformed into a speck of light and hid within the crevices of the small gray millstone.

This was the source of Chu Feng's confidence!

Rumble!

As the small gray millstone rotated, the aura from the Dao-Melding Grass on the altar surged rapidly like a tide, flowing into Chu Feng's body.

This made his body glow instantly. The experience was marvelous: a pure, high-level energy and astonishing runic profoundness were absorbed into his body, where he integrated and comprehended them.

"Stop him!" Kunlong said coldly.

In fact, at this moment, everyone sprang into action, frantically absorbing for themselves while trying to suppress Chu Feng and hinder his refinement and absorption of the Dao-Melding Grass's essence.

This naturally had an impact on Chu Feng.

However, he was fearless. His mind was immersed within his body, engraving words onto the small gray millstone. It was a line of golden characters, inscribed by his will.

Upon closer inspection, these were identical to the engravings seen on the enormous stone millstone in the Bright Dead City on the Path of Reincarnation!

Chu Feng had entered the Path of Reincarnation several times, and the impression of that place was deeply etched in his memory.

Especially the stone millstone that crushed the corpses of myriad beings; it remained vivid and unforgettable in his memory. He had once seen a line of golden engravings there.

Moreover, back then, the stone jar he carried had also glowed. When pushed to a certain extent, it had revealed those symbols and characters, and many more—dozens of times as many!

Chu Feng felt that other characters were still too distant and unusable for him, but the line of golden engravings he had seen on the stone millstone of the Path of Reincarnation was of great use to him, and it was most suitable for engraving onto the void artifact.

The effect was astonishing. After Chu Feng inscribed that special line of golden characters, the small millstone within his body began to rotate on its own, crushing everything without him even needing to activate it!

Boom!

In an instant, fruits flew directly from the leaves of the Dao-Melding Grass on the altar, and some leaves were about to break off, all soaring towards him and entering his body.

This effect was too shocking: plundering frantically right in front of gods and under the very noses of god kings, completely ignoring them!

"How is this possible?!" Yun Tuo was the first to cry out in alarm.

Chu Feng calmed himself. How could it be impossible? Back then, the stone millstone in the Bright Dead City on the Path of Reincarnation, because of that very line of characters, had frantically plundered the corpses of myriad beings, crushing and decomposing them all, even formatting their souls and erasing all traces of their past lives!

Now, he was merely testing the waters!
