Chapter 1234: Great Sage

Chu Feng's aura was growing stronger, and the activity of all his cells had increased to an astonishing degree. His entire body glowed, and a viscous fluid was expelled from his pores.

His metabolism was incredibly vigorous. He absorbed the free energy between heaven and earth, building a stronger and more perfect physique and expelling impurities in the process.

He was advancing towards the Saint realm!

Everyone was shocked. Cao De had just passed the Quasi-Saint tribulation, and now he was about to ascend to the Saint realm? Without any accumulation or careful preparation, he was just breaking through directly? This was incredibly abnormal!

Suddenly, Chu Feng's heart tightened, and his scalp tingled.

He snapped his head up, then almost swore, almost cursed aloud.

A terrifying heavenly tribulation, dense with lightning, like a mountain flood bursting forth, like the Milky Way breaking its banks, poured down from beyond the heavens, all striking his body.

Hadn't the Quasi-Saint tribulation just ended?

He really wanted to curse. He was just about to break through to the Saint realm, and the heavenly tribulation returned.

He forced himself to hold his breath, almost suffering internal injuries. This time, the heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, stopping his breakthrough to confront this final great tribulation. He intended to overcome it perfectly, as each thunderous onslaught was, in fact, a baptism for his true self, making him stronger once endured.

Boom!

This time, there were a full 108 streaks of lightning, vividly colored, ranging from crimson to dark, and other hues. The lightning was dense, a hundred bolts striking simultaneously!

Chu Feng endured, his entire body cracking open, blood splattering, his bones almost exposed.

He thought it was over, but then hundreds of lightning bolts once again descended from the void, striking him simultaneously.

This process repeated about ten times in total, nearly turning Chu Feng into a skeletal figure, his flesh dried out by the lightning.

Someone secretly swallowed, trembling, and whispered, "Don't tell me this is truly the strongest heavenly tribulation; it hasn't appeared for many years in recent antiquity!"

"Is the Dao Fusion Grass really that heaven-defying? Is it going to create another Li or Martial Maniac? This is too abnormal!"

While shocked, a group of people also grew particularly envious. Within the Saint encampment, many Saints were staring at Cao De, their eyes flickering.

"What a great opportunity! Do you see? Cao De is almost a dried corpse, at his weakest! His heavily injured body is filled with fragments of the Great Dao. Do you see the shining runes, clearly visible!"

Chi Meng shouted again, startling everyone and inciting the Saints to act.

Indeed, people saw that Cao De was very weak, and divine order runes circulated within his withered body, appearing extremely mysterious.

Someone made a fatal move, attacking Chu Feng.

Chu Feng's expression was cold as he dodged.

At the same time, he stared at the void, fearing the re-emergence of lightning.

"Is this truly the strongest heavenly tribulation?" Chu Feng himself wasn't entirely sure, but he felt it had to be, otherwise, why would it repeat so many times? Anyone else would have been struck dead long ago.

Boom!

After waiting for a moment and dodging some secret artifact attacks from the Saints, Chu Feng erupted. Vigorous life energy blossomed within him, nourishing his entire body.

He confirmed that the heavenly tribulation had vanished, truly gone, and then he began his breakthrough.

In an instant, the oppressive power of a Saint swept forth, like a vast river or sea, spreading out instantly and shaking the entire Saint encampment.

This time there was no lightning, no heavenly tribulation. Chu Feng advanced safely. His entire body was exceptionally brilliant, accompanied by a rain of light. His skeletal, withered body swelled up, absorbing the wandering energy particles and nourishing itself.

At the same time, his strength surged significantly.

Immediately, he made his move. Amidst the rain of light and sacred immortal glow, he seemed to ascend, striking down at those who had just attacked him.

Of course, he had already targeted Chi Meng!

"Let's join forces and kill him!" someone shouted.

However, most of the Saints scattered immediately. "Are you kidding? This guy was already formidable when he was a Quasi-Saint. Now that he's at the same level as us, who can be his opponent?"

Indeed, Chu Feng swept through them like a destructive force, carving a path straight through.

One Saint took a punch from him, and their entire body exploded.

"Die!"

Chu Feng roared, his disheveled hair flying, golden blood contained within him. When he opened his mouth, the sound waves were terrifying, causing the few people he had already heavily injured to crack all over, covered in wounds, and then they shattered into pieces with a "thump."

He now resembled a great demon king, sweeping across the battlefield. Anyone who had laid a hand on him was blown to pieces, either dead or severely wounded.

Everyone was horrified; he was actually that strong!

"This is... the aura of a Great Saint?!"

Legend has it that there are individuals who, after breaking through to the Saint realm, far surpass Saints of the same level and can be revered as Great Saints!

It is said that such beings usually either passed the strongest heavenly tribulation or had special fortuitous encounters, leading to an abnormal power that instilled despair in those at the same level.

For a moment, many trembled.

Subsequently, all who had participated in the attack and were lucky enough to still be alive fled, daring not to linger.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Chu Feng pursued.

"Presumptuous!"

Someone shouted. A middle-aged man appeared, blocking Chu Feng's path. He was the commander of this encampment, a Quasi-Divine King.

"I think *you* are the presumptuous one! Why didn't you come out earlier to stop them, watching as they besieged Cao De?!"

Mi Hong, the elder brother of the Six-Eared Macaque clan, appeared, standing in the sky, his gaze cold and deep, watching the scene and glaring at the Quasi-Divine King.

Immediately, the Quasi-Divine King frowned, feeling apprehensive, and dared not act.

At this moment, many people across various encampments were startled, and countless eyes were focused on this place.

Chu Feng's gaze was deep. He had long prepared for the worst, ready to use powerful weapons to eliminate super-heavyweight figures at any moment, and also constantly prepared to flee.

Since the Quasi-Divine King had been reprimanded and dared not make a move, Chu Feng naturally didn't stop and went to pursue Chi Meng.

"Kill him!"

At this moment, Chi Meng, the Nine-Headed Bird, transmitted his voice, roaring secretly. He was hysterical and extremely agitated.

Because he had a feeling that if Cao De wasn't killed today, their entire clan would face great trouble in the future, possibly even annihilation.

This instinctive premonition sent a chill from his head to his toes.

Therefore, he decided to break the rules, disregard the regulations of this place, and ask hidden individuals to make a fatal move to eliminate Cao De. Even if he lost most of his life or even died completely after being exposed, he would not hesitate.

"We must kill Cao De! We cannot give him a chance to leave this place!" Chi Meng shouted.

His heart trembled. Having witnessed Cao De's heaven-defying power today, he absolutely could not let him become a future threat. No matter the cost, this person had to be killed.

In the shadows, several figures emerged, surpassing the Saint realm. There were Reflection-level beings and Divine-level creatures, all making a fatal move together, aiming to eliminate Chu Feng on the spot.

Undoubtedly, Chi Meng had gone mad, determined to send Chu Feng to his demise.

At this moment, a person appeared in the void: Divine King Li Jiuxiao. He made a powerful move, a single punch piercing through the sky, its radiance incredibly dazzling.

Those few individuals didn't even have time to scream before they turned into ashes in mid-air, all perishing.

Chu Feng naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity. His body transformed into a golden rainbow, using the power of a Great Saint, and he dove directly towards the Nine-Headed Bird.

"Die!"

One of the commanders of the Saint encampment, the Quasi-Divine King who had wanted to intervene earlier, now moved. He blocked Chu Feng from killing Chi Meng, the Nine-Headed Bird, and at the same time, launched a fatal attack on Chu Feng, intending to utterly destroy him.

"The Nine-Headed Race's infiltration here is so severe, it's deplorable! How dare you act like this?!"

This time, Mi Hong made his move. With a "boom," he appeared in front, blocking the Quasi-Divine King's path. He transformed into a gigantic golden ape and stomped down with a thunderous foot, crushing the Quasi-Divine King to death!

There was a significant gap between a Divine King and a Quasi-Divine King, especially since Mi Hong was an exceptionally gifted Divine King!

At this moment, Chu Feng was like a streak of light, rushing forward to pursue Chi Meng.

The Nine-Headed Bird's soul nearly fled his body. He had gone mad, breaking rules and ordering others to kill Cao De, but it had still failed, and now his pursuer was right before him.

Most terrifying of all, Cao De was now a Saint, even more astonishingly powerful than before, far exceeding his estimations, making it even easier to hunt him down.

Chi Meng coughed up mouthfuls of blood. He looked down and saw a hand protruding from his chest; it was Cao De, who, after pursuing him, had pierced him from behind and crushed his heart.

Crack!

Chu Feng extended his other hand and twisted his neck. This time, Chi Meng screamed. He knew he was about to die. Having previously had eight heads blasted off, he had lost his immortal body, and now Chu Feng was about to finish him off directly.

As for the death-substitute talisman, it was useless; Chu Feng had long ago researched how to counter it.

Chu Feng struck again, shattering Chi Meng, causing him to explode.

Next, he grabbed the white-haired youth who had always been with Chi Meng.

"Don't kill me, I am..."

"I don't care who you are!" Chu Feng scoffed. With a "bang," he punched the person, causing them to explode into a mist of blood.

"Cao De, how dare you indiscriminately kill the innocent, slaughtering within your own ranks? Your crime is unforgivable; you deserve death!"

At this moment, a terrifying voice boomed, shaking the heavens. In an instant, rules emerged, and order intertwined, creating a terrifying scene.

It was an elder with fiery red hair flowing, possessing nine heads. Although in human form, Chu Feng instantly understood that this was the Old Ancestor of the Nine-Headed Bird race.

Around him, several Divine Kings appeared, all radiating killing intent, accompanying his descent.

Boom!

Not far away, an old monkey appeared, his entire body gleaming with golden light. Then, his body rapidly expanded, instantly growing as tall as the heavens, transforming into a colossal golden ape.

"Nine Heads, do you think I'm old, or do you believe I can no longer wield a blade?!" The Old Ancestor of the Six-Eared Macaque race appeared.

The Old Ancestor of the Nine-Headed Bird race sat cross-legged in the sky, crimson light tearing through the void. He said grimly, "I said, Cao De indiscriminately killed the innocent and slaughtered within his own ranks. He deserves to die!"

The old Six-Eared Macaque was very forceful, saying, "Who indiscriminately killed the innocent? Are your eyes caked with your own bird droppings? If you ask me, he killed well! Especially that little brat called Chi Meng, he's your descendant, isn't he? He deserved to die!"

"What did you say?!" The Old Ancestor of the Nine-Headed Bird race's voice was bone-chilling, rising in pitch.

The old Six-Eared Macaque said, "I said, he killed well! This kid Cao De suits my taste. Today, I'll protect him to the very end. I'd like to see you dare to lift a single finger!"
