Chapter 1222: The Strongest Body

The Divine King of the Nine-Headed Bird tribe, Chifeng, wore a grim expression, a fire burning in his chest. He had deployed his most potent methods to seal the area, but he had still failed.

Cao De had advanced, breaking through right in front of him!

How could this not shock him? His face quickly turned crimson, as if stained with blood, and his hair, without any breeze, stood on end and swayed.

His murderous intent was palpable. He had earlier declared that with him present, Cao De shouldn't even think about it; the good fortune would be beyond his reach, and he would be out of the game.

But now, Cao De's fierce breakthrough was like a slap in his face, rendering his cold warning mere empty words!

Chifeng felt his face burning, hot and uncomfortable.

Especially since Divine King Mihong was laughing heartily, two golden lightning bolts shooting from his pupils, openly mocking him and enjoying his misfortune.

"Living between heaven and earth, no matter who you are, don't be too arrogant. So what if you're a Divine King? What's the outcome now? You should quickly swallow your words back; lick back the spittle you spat out! You domineeringly threatened others, and what happened? He advanced right in front of you, and it's a super breakthrough; his realm is still rising, resonating with the Great Dao. Is he perhaps achieving the strongest sacred body in history?"

Mihong, the Monkey's elder brother, was truly impolite, taunting Nine-Headed Bird Chifeng with sneers, making him utterly mortified.

Chifeng's eyes were cold, and he was exceptionally annoyed. He felt as though he had been slapped. He had promised to restrict Cao De and deny him this opportunity, but that "De" generation had instead made rapid progress and successfully advanced!

"How is this possible?" the Three-Headed Divine Dragon Yun Tuo muttered, clenching his fists and staring at Cao De, who was surrounded by them, observing him as he comprehended the Dao.

Jin Lin's beautiful eyes were wide open. She was speechless, her heart trembling slightly. The opponent had actually reached another level under such circumstances!

It should be noted that the most powerful effect of the Dao-Fusing Grass is to increase a creature's potential, deepen its accumulation, and raise the ceiling of its achievements in this lifetime!

However, when it comes to breakthroughs and realm advancement, it isn't considered a potent drug that instantly boosts power. It's more like a gentle, grand medicine whose miraculous effects gradually manifest over time, influencing an entire lifetime and raising a creature's upper limit.

Yet, Cao De underwent an immediate and fierce advancement on the spot!

Jin Lin was shocked, her fair face filled with astonishment. She found it hard to believe and was very unwilling to accept it.

Jin Lie was also dumbfounded, then secretly cursed. So many of them, including the Divine Kings, acting together, couldn't restrict Cao De?

"Damn you, Cao De, you can break through even like this? Heaven truly lacks virtue, Cao De, Cao Wude!" Jin Lie wanted to curse, feeling it was utterly unfair.

This group of people all felt as though they had been slapped, their faces burning with pain, finding it difficult to accept this reality.

Even Li Yan Tianzun, who was on good terms with the Immortal Phoenix tribe, fell silent. Yet, he felt extremely vexed. He had already shown great favoritism towards Chifeng and the others, allowing them to act and interfere with Cao De's enlightenment, but they still hadn't managed to stop him, allowing the young man to rise against the odds!

At this moment, a being like him, an ancient evolver who had achieved a Heavenly Venerable body, was highly perceptive and sensed a trace of abnormality.

He felt that Cao De's advancement was far from simple, somewhat resembling the strongest physique, having embarked on that legendary path that was so difficult to complete!

At this moment, Chu Feng ignored them, immersed in the peaceful state of his physique's complete evolution.

He was bathed in a sacred rain of light. This experience was truly wonderful; he felt warm from head to toe, vitality surging within him, as if he were being nurtured by the primordial womb of heaven and earth, gaining new life.

He had broken through the Golden Body realm, becoming a Half-Saint, and his cultivation was still rapidly growing without stopping!

Now, he wasn't concerned with his realm but was experiencing the benefits his body had gained.

In all his cells, tiny patterns were shimmering. These were the essence of the Dao-Fusing Grass at work, crushed by the small millstone, extracting original runes.

These fragments of original rules permeated his flesh and blood, merging with him. It was akin to a tempering of blood and soul, causing runes to flow throughout his entire body.

The benefits were astonishing!

Chu Feng's physical body was exceptionally strong, and his spirit was full, integrated with his flesh and blood. He felt a sense of all laws becoming one, his own imprint at the center of the great cosmos, as if he could control everything in the world!

He was undergoing the baptism of the Yang Realm's origin, gaining new life from head to toe.

In the Lesser Yin Realm, he had achieved the Half-Saint rank, but it was incomparable to now; the difference was vast, and he had never had such an experience.

He felt that his current body was like divine metal, and his spirit like a divine rainbow. No matter which race he encountered, as long as the realm difference wasn't too great, he could slaughter them!

Chu Feng was certain that he had embarked on the path of the strongest!

He mentally compared it with the contents of the notes written by Stone Fox Heavenly Venerable's master and reconfirmed that he was indeed in the form of the strongest physique!

His physical body was flawless; after achieving Grand Perfection in the Indestructible Golden Body, he directly transcended into sainthood.

Now, Chu Feng's flesh was translucent like jade, and it emitted a clear fragrance.

With every movement, he felt infinite power within his body. He felt that a single punch could pierce the heavens; it was as if nothing was impossible.

Chu Feng became alert and composed himself.

At this moment, he felt an increasing resonance with the entire world. The heavens and earth in his eyes seemed suddenly much brighter, and what he perceived in his mind was somewhat different.

He saw wisps of illusory order, gliding across the sky—these were the drifting trajectories of the Great Dao from the Yang Realm, left behind billions of years ago.

Chu Feng was startled. If he carefully captured these, he would continuously gain enlightenment, and how could his ultimate achievements be anything less than extraordinary?

"This is the path of the strongest. The journey might be arduous, with many dangers, and the path ahead might even be broken. However, if I use myself as a bridge to cross every stage and overcome every chasm, I will ultimately be able to suppress all enemies!"

Chu Feng's heart trembled. This path of the strongest was indeed terrifying, truly astonishing!

His physical body and spirit had now reached their strongest state in this realm. After embarking on this path, his perception of this world was completely different; he could glimpse traces of the Dao.

If this continued, he would naturally rise and comprehend even more astonishing things!

"Although this path is incomplete and considered difficult to reach its end, repeatedly broken along the way, I believe I can continue and complete it."

When that time truly comes, Chu Feng believes he will ultimately transcend. Even if he steps out of the Great Yang Realm and encounters the strategists behind the path of reincarnation, he will be able to fight.

Even if he draws out creatures from the Great Yin Realm, he will have the confidence to face them calmly and composedly.

And if one day, legends become reality, and he encounters beings from other historical nodes or evolutionary branches, he can confidently compete and ascend to the absolute peak.

At this moment, Chu Feng radiated auspicious glow, as if enveloped by a dazzling light, and he continued to absorb the essence of the Dao-Fusing Grass.

In a moment, several more fruits flew into his mouth. He crunched on them directly, and they vanished from his mouth.

In fact, they were directly absorbed by his physical body, seized by the small millstone to extract original runes, making them easier to absorb and comprehend.

He was consolidating and simultaneously pushing his own evolution further, stepping towards higher realms.

At this moment, Chu Feng was sacred from head to toe. In contact with the fragments of Dao principles, that ancient and primal aura permeated his entire being.

Instantly, he had an illusion, as if he had arrived before the creation of the world, witnessing the secrets of origin, and capturing the vague traces of the primordial Great Dao.

He was absorbing, he was comprehending, he was elevating himself!

"Dammit, he's still evolving!"

The Three-Headed Divine Dragon Yun Tuo was both startled and enraged, and a chill spread through him. He felt uneasy; if Cao De continued to rise so rapidly, he would certainly become a threat to him in the future.

The others were also deeply shaken. They had never seen such a monstrous individual; this Cao De kept improving without stopping.

After breaking through the Golden Body, he should have been in the early stage of Half-Saint.

But now, in a short time, Cao De had reached the middle stage, and then was surging towards the late stage. This was too fast!

Chu Feng himself could sense his own terrifying power. Having undergone Half-Saint level evolution before, and now returning to it, he naturally could roughly estimate how extraordinary he was now by comparison.

In fact, he really wanted to find someone to fight to test his true capabilities!

Or more precisely, he wanted to fight a group of people, to battle a multitude of powerful individuals, as only then could the terror of his path as the strongest be truly demonstrated.

Chu Feng was very quiet, his body glowing, radiating light like fierce flames, as if burning. The absorption of the Dao-Fusing Grass continued uninterrupted, and he was constantly growing stronger.

At this moment, he had already reached the late stage of Half-Saint.

If this continued, he would certainly reach Grand Perfection again, or even break through?!

This was somewhat abnormal. He was worried about leaving flaws, concerned that an unstable Half-Saint path might mar the strongest physique.

He felt it was necessary to slow down first, to temporarily pause and examine himself, checking for any oversights to ensure the path of strongest evolution remained perfect!

However, he also didn't want to waste the current opportunity.

Hadn't he seen Divine King Chifeng of the Nine-Headed tribe with red eyes? Chifeng wished he could kill him!

This was because he was now madly plundering the essence of the Dao-Fusing Grass, affecting even Divine King Chifeng who was nearby. Not only could Chifeng not contain Cao De, but even some of the good fortune material Chifeng himself needed was being snatched away!

"He must be punished!" Chifeng snarled, truly wishing he could smash him into a bloody mist with a single palm.

Nearby, everyone else's faces were also grim. They were all affected. Cao De was insane; vortices swirled around his body, golden light erupting from the dimness, plundering their opportunities.

"Heh!"

Chu Feng gave a cold laugh, his heart growing more satisfied.

He couldn't possibly stop and not collect the good fortune material right in front of him, letting his enemies have it instead. Wouldn't that be foolish?

"While I do need to pause and ponder if the path of the strongest has deviated, to settle for a while, I also have other Dao Fruits to carry the good fortune material."

Chu Feng thought of the Divine King Dao Fruit he had sealed within the small millstone. It had been cultivated in the Lesser Yin Realm, and after arriving in the Yang Realm, he deeply felt its inadequacies and numerous flaws.

Of course, the most serious problem was that if the Divine King Dao Fruit from the Lesser Yin Realm were exposed, he would be struck by lightning, and it would be the strongest heavenly tribulation in history!

Now, he felt he could merge the plundered Dao-Fusing Grass essence into that Dao Fruit from the Lesser Yin Realm, refining this Divine King core!

As soon as he thought of it, Chu Feng didn't hesitate. He continued to vie for the opportunity, plundering the good fortune material, but secretly injected it into his past life's Dao Fruit.

If he refined this Divine King core to a perfect level, elevating it to a flawless state, then... he felt a surge of excitement!
