Chapter 1219: Who Dares Claim to Be the Best in the World? Only Me

The three-headed divine dragons, Yun Tuo, Jin Lie, and Kun Long, had stiffened faces and their pupils darted around. What did they see?

They had jointly sealed off Cao De to prevent him from absorbing the Dao-Melding Grass, but he remained unaffected. In fact, he was absorbing it so wildly, almost plundering its energy.

Was that the Dao-Melding Grass? The tangible embodiment of the Great Dao!

It was exuding the primordial energy of the Yang Realm, with fragments of the Great Dao entwined around it, manifesting illusory forms of myriad spirits. The entire plant shimmered with dazzling light, accompanied by terrifying thunder and the deafening sound of the Great Dao.

This scene and phenomenon made everyone tremble. While resonating with it, they also felt a sense of dread and awe.

The Dao-Melding Grass, once possessed by the Great Dao, was still terrifying even after being separated, possessing an inexplicable pressure that made people involuntarily shiver.

Yet, Cao De was so fierce; right from the start, he was desperately drawing in the essence from the plant.

Many people felt their legs go weak, their bodies trembling slightly, as if facing an avatar of the Great Dao. Yet, Cao De was unaffected, showing no reverence whatsoever.

He was plundering!

"Stop him!"

They secretly communicated, deciding to work together to interfere and prevent Cao De from successfully comprehending the Great Dao.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt incredibly comfortable, his entire body warm. A line of golden characters on the small millstone inside him glowed, absorbing the special energy from the outside world like a vast ocean embracing all rivers.

Even the divine chains of order from the Dao-Melding Grass, after entering his body, could not suppress him. Instead, they flowed into the gray millstone, were ground down, and refined into one primordial symbol after another!

For him, this was an immense tonic.

His entire body glowed as if enveloped by a brilliant sun, his body warm with countless rays of light continuously circulating, causing his physical vitality to surge.

At this stage, external interference had no effect on him.

Chu Feng wished he could let out a roar to the sky; his whole body felt so comfortable, as if returning to the primordial womb of heaven and earth, nourished by the Great Dao. The benefits to him were simply too immense.

At this moment, if anyone could see through his flesh and blood, they would discover his cells were intensely dividing and then reorganizing, undergoing an astonishing metamorphosis.

Some viscous fluid had already been expelled from Chu Feng's body; his metabolism was incredibly fast, expelling impurities through refinement, and he even shed a layer of old skin.

At this moment, the refined substances absorbed from the Dao-Melding Grass were tiny chains of order, merging into his flesh and blood and integrating with him.

Such benefits were unimaginable; Chu Feng felt his own flesh and blood mutating.

It was evident that he was changing rapidly.

When he inwardly observed, he found his bodily vitality terrifyingly high, far exceeding his usual state. This was the most unadorned and primitive form of evolution.

He had not used pollen or strange fruits, but had instead opened a path to leap from a certain origin.

In just this short moment, his physical body had drastically strengthened, and his constitution had improved significantly!

If he were to engage in close combat again, he believed his physical body would surpass magic artifacts and the like. With a raised hand, he could damage other people's life-bound sword embryos, divine furnaces, or precious cauldrons.

Of course, this was relative; it was not possible for him to shatter God King level weapons with his bare hands right now.

Kun Long, Jin Lie, and Yun Tuo stared blankly. They found they couldn't stop it; Chu Feng was absorbing the essence of the Dao-Melding Grass, and the entire process seemed naturally ordained, as if an invisible channel connected the two.

"Stop him! Absolutely do not give him a chance; keep him at the Golden Body stage! Do not give him a chance to grow; he cannot rise here!"

This was their collective thought, communicated through their spiritual power. Each of them radiated murderous intent, displaying cold expressions, as they exerted their utmost to intercept those essences.

Nearby, vast areas were covered in peach blossoms. Ancient trees were vigorous, like old dragons revived from prehistoric times, regaining vitality, sprouting green buds, and blooming sparse flowers, with vital energy surging.

In the center of the peach forest, the Dao-Melding Grass on the altar glowed, continuously emitting divine chains of order.

In such a sacred place, yet accompanied by killing intent, Kun Long, Yun Tuo, and others continuously interfered with Chu Feng, preventing him from comprehending the Dao and from obtaining this great opportunity.

Obstructing someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

In the realm of cultivators, obstructing someone's breakthrough or suppressing their evolution is even more severe, because it is akin to strangling their life and is extremely malicious.

This is absolutely a great grudge, an unending one!

Now, Kun Long, Yun Tuo, and others were doing exactly this, attempting to strangle Chu Feng's future, obstruct his path of evolution, and forcibly interrupt it.

Chu Feng's pupils contracted as he felt the various hostilities from outside, and his heart filled with anger.

However, he soon felt at ease again, because his process was still ongoing, and those people's interference... was ineffective!

What surprised those people the most was that as they were absorbing the Dao-Melding Grass, they were, in turn, plundered.

When some fragments of order flew towards them, they were absorbed by the strange golden runic light emanating from Cao De and forcibly taken away.

"What?!" Yun Tuo was shocked. He was a deity, a powerful three-headed divine dragon, known as an evolutionist rarely matched among gods, yet in this situation, he was "robbed" by someone?

He was originally trying to stop Cao De, wanting to seize his opportunity, but now such disastrous consequences were occurring.

Not only did his suppression of Cao De not yield the desired effect, but even his own deserved share of the opportunity slipped past him, and that wisp of creation material escaped!

"Ah!"

Jin Lin also exclaimed in surprise, her golden hair fluttering, her beautiful, snow-white, crystalline face filled with shock. Her opportunity had also been plundered.

Initially, she had not participated, because she felt that with her brother, Kun Long, and the experts from the Nine-Headed Clan present, there was no need for her to besiege Cao De.

She was calmly absorbing the essence of the Dao-Melding Grass, but then, a brilliant Dao principle flying towards her, that wisp of primordial runic mystery, suddenly vanished and had actually merged into Cao De's flesh and blood.

She was both shocked and angry, and also very anxious. In this cruel situation of intense competition, her loss meant someone else's gain.

This ebb and flow, especially since that person was an adversary, made her face turn pale, and then flush red; she was utterly unwilling to accept it.

The group became anxious. They wanted to strangle Cao De's growth potential, but now found they couldn't stop him; were they instead helping him succeed?

At the very least, some of the creation material belonging to them was intercepted by Cao De and forcibly taken.

At this moment, Chu Feng felt joyful. As he opened and closed his eyes, special beams of light faintly emerged from his golden pupils—his divine eyes were like lightning—and his physical vitality was still increasing.

His strength was increasing and could be quantified.

His physical strength increased significantly, by more than double, achieving the legendary Indestructible Golden Body!

The so-called Indestructible Golden Body meant achieving the most resilient body at this level, imperishable flesh and blood!

Now, all of Chu Feng's cells were terrifyingly active, undergoing significant leaps.

Golden glow radiated from his body; his entire being grew brighter and brighter, as if cast from gold, like a "sacred being" resurrected and returned from ancient times!

He could feel himself growing stronger, and Chu Feng was confident that if he wished, he could now transcend the Golden Body stage and reach a higher realm!

"It's time to break through!" he murmured, but he was also very cautious, still examining himself, intending to advance only after achieving a truly flawless and indestructible Golden Body.

He was comparing it with the legends recorded in the Stone Fox Heavenly Venerable's master's notes, verifying the strongest path!

Today, he not only wanted to follow this strongest path, but also to go even further!

At the same time, today he didn't just want to simply surpass the Golden Body realm; he wanted to ascend even higher!

His physical body was golden, his bloodline pure; he was now immensely powerful. Chu Feng's heart was peaceful and serene, and his spirit became increasingly full.

Upon closer inspection, even his spiritual energy had turned golden, almost liquefying; his spiritual power was extremely potent.

"Why is this happening?" someone whispered.

At this moment, not to mention Jin Lin, Yun Tuo, Kun Long, and others, even the God King of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan was surprised.

In fact, everyone was astonished; even the Monkey and Mi Qing were stunned, because everyone was intimidated when facing the Dao-Melding Grass, as if facing the heavens!

Their hearts were uneasy and full of reverence, but why did Cao De not have this experience? He looked too peaceful, and even showed a satisfied smile.

At this time, Chu Feng's body became radiant, and then his physical body emitted bursts of clear fragrance, which was astonishing.

"The ultimate Golden Body, a true manifestation of physical sanctification!" someone whispered.

Although everyone talked about what the ultimate Golden Body's physical state should be like, the ultimate Golden Bodies seen by evolutionists on ordinary days were all exaggerated.

The ordinary claims of a physical body emitting clear fragrance and reaching transcendence were all formed through the resonance of other factors, and not true ultimate states.

In this Yang Realm, where Dao principles were complete, beings who truly reached this stage solely by their own flesh and blood were rare since ancient times, too few.

Yet now Cao De had actually achieved it. He had not used special medicinal herbs to fumigate his body, but was refining it with runes of order, forcibly elevating his flesh and blood.

"How can he absorb the essence like this without showing reverence for the Dao-Melding Grass?" Jin Lie retorted, unwilling to accept it.

In fact, Kun Long, Yun Tuo, and others were even more indignant. They wanted to obstruct Cao De, but it now seemed that they were increasingly helping him succeed!

"To be fearless of the Dao-Melding Grass is equivalent to directly facing the tangible embodiment of the Great Dao, and such a situation is not impossible."

A venerable, aged voice came from the shadows, echoing in this place. It was clear without thinking that a Heavenly Venerable was speaking, and he was maintaining stability here.

"What's happening?" Not to mention Jin Lin, Yun Tuo, and others, even the Monkey and Xiao Shiyun wanted to know why this was happening.

Chu Feng's heart tightened. Had this old fellow seen through something?

He knew very well that he could do this, fearless of the Dao-Melding Grass's pressure, entirely because his gray millstone was very unusual and had a line of golden characters inscribed on it.

"Only by possessing the purest heart — utterly pure and benevolent, utterly sincere and true to one's nature — can one be like this, only then can one be fearless of the tangible embodiment of the Great Dao and treat it normally here."

Although the old Heavenly Venerable's voice was weak and his body decaying, these words still caused a stir among the group present.

Cao De has a pure heart, utterly pure and benevolent?!

At this moment, not to mention victims like Jin Lin and Kun Long, even the Monkey, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao felt that it was utterly... absurd!

Cao De is pure and benevolent? Everyone wanted to curse!

However, Chu Feng smiled, truly brilliant and refreshing, like a flower bud blooming towards the morning glow.

"Who in this world dares to claim the purest? Only I, Cao De, am the purest and most benevolent!"

He said this without blushing or his heart racing.
