Chapter 1220: Who Can Stop Me

He’s absolutely shameless! His brazenness knows no bounds—an axe couldn't even cut through it!

How dare he describe himself that way? Many people felt like beating him up!

That brat deserves to die! This was precisely what Kunlong most wanted to do.

Jin Lin fumed, saying, “Pure? That’s an insult to the word! Purely good? He’s so morally depraved, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone worse. How can he be associated with goodness?”

A group of people nodded in agreement. They simply couldn't stand such a description. This Cao De hadn't stopped causing trouble since he arrived on the battlefield, so how could he be pure and good?

Besides that, just a short while ago, he was verbally attacking anyone and everyone, spitting insults everywhere. And he could still be described as a person of utmost purity?

In fact, even Monkey, Peng Wanli, and others were secretly grumbling; they couldn't stand it either.

Monkey really wanted to say that this hot-tempered fellow had, damn it, beaten him up on the very first day he entered the camp, leaving him bruised and swollen, and then stole his bludgeon, which he still hadn't returned!

Xiao Yao also wanted to say that just a moment ago, Cao De was still eyeing his aunt, wanting to be her husband. Purely good, my ass!

Peng Wanli felt a sense of shared frustration. A moment ago, Cao De was still asking about his sister, wanting to become his brother-in-law, and shamelessly claiming to be everyone's brother-in-law across the field! He had no shame whatsoever!

Consequently, there was a widespread backlash, and no one believed Chu Feng was purely good.

In the distance, the Quasi-Divine King Hong Yunhai, who was guarding the place, really wanted to say, “That little bastard Cao De beats my two grandsons three times a day! His vengefulness is too strong. How can he still be associated with the word ‘good’?”

Thinking of this infuriated him. His plot against Chu Feng had failed, causing his two grandsons, Hong Yu and Hong Sheng, to suffer terribly; they were still lying in bed to this day.

Furthermore, every time their injuries had just started to heal, that scoundrel from the ‘De’ generation would beat them up again, leaving them half-crippled once more.

Therefore, as soon as the Old Heavenly Venerate's evaluation was released, it was almost universally condemned, and a group of people were indignant.

Of course, the main reason was also their differing standpoints; expecting Kunlong, Yun Tuo, and the Nine-Headed Bird tribe to find Cao De pleasing to the eye was simply impossible.

Even in this land of enlightenment, some people couldn't help but speak up, saying that Cao De was not a good person.

Chu Feng immediately disliked what he heard and retorted, “You don’t understand!”

“What does that mean?” Many people rolled their eyes at him.

“That was me acting spontaneously, with an innocent heart,” Chu Feng explained. “It may seem absurd to you, but in reality, I was following my true self, acting with a pure, authentic mindset. That’s why the Old Heavenly Venerate gave me that evaluation of being truly genuine and emotional!”

“That works?” The group of people wanted to kill him even more.

Especially some of the victims, whose faces grew increasingly ugly.

However, at this moment, Li Jiuxiao sighed softly and said, “I agree, Cao De truly has a genuine disposition. His heart is like crystal, and his nature is straightforward; he truly has the heart of an innocent child.”

Good heavens!

Everyone was exasperated. This Divine King Li, now renowned as a paragon among Divine Kings with few in his class who could match him, actually spoke up for this thick-skinned Cao De, supporting him so strongly.

Chu Feng first nodded to Li Jiuxiao in thanks, then looked at the Six-Eared Macaque and said, “Monkey, what do you say?”

Monkey’s face twitched. He really wanted to say, “Your pure heart… it’s so black it’s gleaming! You’ve been constantly eyeing my sister, I want to chop you up, and give me back my bludgeon!”

However, in the end, he forced a smile and said, “Of course you’re purely good!”

There was no other way; they were now in the same trench, and they were allies.

After Monkey said these words, he himself felt uneasy; those words were too contrary to his true feelings.

Then he dragged Xiao Yao into it, asking him to also make a statement, strongly supporting their ally Cao De.

Xiao Yao glanced at his aunt, then at Chu Feng, and said, “Brother Cao, acting spontaneously is indeed your true nature.”

Afterward, he felt a tightness in his chest; such words went against his conscience too much.

However, although indignant and whispering, everyone kept going, striving with all their might for the essence of the Dao Fusion Grass.

These creation substances—acquiring even a wisp meant a stroke of fortune, capable of expanding the upper limit of their ultimate achievements in this life!

This was equivalent to raising the ceiling, making their life's pinnacle even more brilliant and astonishing!

Therefore, despite their discomfort, everyone was still racing against time to strengthen themselves and comprehend the chains of order flying towards them.

However, Kunlong, Yun Tuo, Jin Lie, and others were getting restless. They had failed to restrict Chu Feng, and now their own opportunities had been snatched away multiple times.

In this area, many swirling vortices, dull gray yet sparkling with golden symbols within, appeared around Chu Feng's body. He was like a bottomless pit, madly absorbing the creation substances.

People discovered that the gray vortices around Chu Feng's body connected into a dense, continuous expanse. The effect was astonishing, plundering the opportunities of those around him, making it impossible to guard against.

At this moment, Jin Lie was almost in tears of frustration; seven of his ten opportunities had been wasted, with several wisps of primal substance snatched away by Cao De.

His golden hair was in disarray, and his eyes were sharp as cold lightning. He truly wanted to kill Cao De; he felt utterly exasperated.

Kunlong’s fingers were trembling as he clutched his long saber, wanting to swing it out multiple times. He, too, had been “plundered”; his attempt to curb Cao De had failed, and he himself had suffered losses.

“Everyone, attack!” someone said coldly. “We can’t give him room to grow. Suffocate him today!” He was still uniting the others to jointly intercept him.

No single person could restrict Cao De. God knows how he became so utterly pure and good, matching the Dao Fusion Grass perfectly, as if an invisible channel connected the two. He was madly seizing it!

At this moment, no one spoke. Qing Yin, Mi Qing, Li Jiuxiao, Monkey, Xiao Shiyun, and others all had solemn expressions, diligently comprehending the Grand Dao.

They were relatively far from Chu Feng and unaffected.

At this moment, not to mention Jin Lie, Kunlong, and others, even the Nine-Headed Bird clan's Divine King Chifeng had a grim expression. He had already made a move to interfere with Chu Feng and block his path.

However, the effect was minimal; it did not interrupt Cao De's current transformation process. He was still harvesting the essence of the Dao Fusion Grass, and his physique was growing stronger and stronger.

“These fruits don’t taste great, they’re bland,” Chu Feng commented.

The Dao Fusion Grass had nine leaves in total, with nine fruits on each leaf. His body had already absorbed several of these fruits.

This was also why his golden body shone brilliantly, as if cast from gold, becoming increasingly powerful.

And now, as he opened his mouth, two fruits were actually sucked in by the gray vortices and entered his mouth. He chewed them directly, like an ox devouring peonies, and commented on their taste.

Those near him were itching with hatred. He received more than anyone else, making those around him intensely envious, and he even made such a nonchalant remark.

Besides, was that thing even for eating? It needed to be refined, comprehended, and experienced with one's heart.

Indeed, the fruits were formed from interwoven runes of order. They entered Chu Feng's mouth, then quickly moved into his body, and were ground up by the small gray millstone.

Boom!

Just then, a terrifying thunderous roar erupted. It was the Nine-Headed tribe's Divine King unleashing a secret technique, his most formidable method, to restrict Chu Feng's space!

Although he dared not kill him outright, using some unwritten rules here to scheme against a competitor was not entirely impermissible.

He wanted to completely seal off Cao De, isolating the surrounding space from him so that Cao De would lose contact with the Dao Fusion Grass.

The Nine-Headed Bird clan's Divine King Chifeng's expression was cold. After a cold snort, he constructed a net of mental energy, encircling Chu Feng.

“Nine-Headed, what are you doing? This is too much!” At this, Li Jiuxiao spoke up, terrifying light shooting from his Divine King eyes, threatening to tear space apart.

“Silence! Do not disturb others’ enlightenment!”

Just then, a cold voice rang out. It was still a Heavenly Venerate, but definitely not the old man from before; it sounded like a reprimand from a middle-aged man.

He was actually warning Li Jiuxiao not to say anything further.

“This is unfair, how can this be?” someone exclaimed. “Is this meant to cut off a promising talent’s future? Destroying his future Dao fruit is equivalent to destroying a person’s foundation, worse than the hatred of being killed!”

At this, Mi Hong, the elder brother of the Six-Eared Macaque clan, also spoke up. Dressed in snow-white robes and very handsome, his expression was extremely cold; he couldn't stand it anymore.

The Nine-Headed Bird clan's Divine King Chifeng said indifferently, “Which eye of yours saw me destroying someone’s foundation or future? The evolution of all beings is a ruthless competition, entirely dependent on one’s own methods. I am using Divine King order to capture the creation substances emanating from the Dao Fusion Grass. What’s wrong with that? Must I hand over all opportunities to Cao De?”

He made some valid points, but he clearly crossed the line. Because he used Divine King order to almost completely cover Chu Feng's area, thus absorbing the diffused substances from the Dao Fusion Grass and increasing his own capture range, he was indeed severing others' foundations.

“All of you, shut up!”

From the shadows, the voice, like that of a middle-aged man, rang out again, still cold and highly authoritative, awe-inspiring to everyone.

Undoubtedly, he was somewhat biased, not bothering with the Nine-Headed Bird clan's Divine King Chifeng and allowing him to act freely.

If this continued, it would be equivalent to destroying Chu Feng's future path.

In fact, the Old Heavenly Venerate in the shadows disagreed, and a dispute arose. However, the Heavenly Venerate whose voice resembled a middle-aged man's insisted that Cao De had also plundered others' fortunes earlier, and therefore, he would not interfere now.

“Initially,” the Old Heavenly Venerate argued, “it was also because those people targeted him, and they tried to gain but ended up losing. But now, Nine-Headed is genuinely cutting off his path; this cannot be!”

“Every action has its consequence,” the middle-aged man’s voice was very cold. “He seized others’ fortunes first, and now he loses his opportunity later. It’s balanced.”

Clearly, he favored Nine-Headed Bird, Kunlong, and the others. Such a character was more self-serving, acting without scruples.

He was on good terms with the Nine-Heheaded Bird clan, so he would naturally say such things.

While the two Heavenly Venerates debated in secret, undercurrents surged near the Dao Fusion Grass as well.

Seeing Mi Hong and Li Jiuxiao suppressed by the Heavenly Venerate and unable to rescue Chu Feng, Nine-Headed Bird wore a faint smile, but deep in his eyes, he was utterly cold. He further sealed off the area, giving Chu Feng no chance.

Upon seeing this, the Three-Headed Divine Dragon Yun Tuo showed a delighted expression and said with a faint smile, “The Heavenly Venerate’s decision is very fair. We have no objections.”

“It should be so!” Kunlong nodded, saber qi swirling around him. He was madly absorbing the essence of the Dao Fusion Grass.

Many people in their camp laughed. The Nine-Headed Bird clan’s Divine King’s move was indeed extraordinary, directly restricting Cao De and preventing him from evolving further!

Jin Lie smiled; now he felt a sense of relief.

There were two other Divine Kings in this camp who had not yet made a move, and they also wore cold smiles. “What if a golden-body level evolutionist’s talent is strong? If we want to restrict you, we will directly sever your foundation!”

“Suffocating a genius is very simple!” the Nine-Headed Bird clan’s Divine King said faintly.

However, Chu Feng showed no anxiety at all. He sat cross-legged and said, “You want to surround me and cut off my path? Do you think being a Divine King makes you successful? In fact, you’re nothing… but a fart!”

There was a trace of anger on Chu Feng’s face, because this Nine-Headed Bird clan’s Divine King was malicious, wanting to use his powerful Divine King-level rules to cover this place, brutally suppress him, and utterly destroy his opportunities!

However, he was fearless. At this moment, he actively activated the small millstone, further activating the line of golden characters.

With a boom, in this area, all the gray vortices around Chu Feng’s body turned golden, becoming extraordinarily dazzling.

“So what if you’re a Divine King?” Chu Feng said coldly. “You want to stop my progress? I’ll undergo my transformation right here in front of you all! The first step is to break through my current realm and transcend into sainthood! Let’s see who can stop me?!”
