Chapter 1262: Madman Appears

Chu Feng's fist intent was as vast as the sky; each punch unleashed myriad golden rays. Li Chentian was unable to resist, bleeding from his seven orifices and developing gaping wounds across his body. These fist imprints were incredibly powerful. Each strike resonated with a cosmic roar, unleashing a myriad of phenomena: the cries of dragons and roars of tigers, successive peals of thunder, and even visions of fallen gods with blood staining the void. However, the terrifying visions were somewhat obscured by the golden light emanating from his fist imprints.

His fist intent was unparalleled, his technique invincible!

Chu Feng pressed his attack, delivering punch after punch. Li Chentian roared, his hair disheveled, as six or seven blood holes appeared on his body. He was completely pierced through, utterly unable to defend himself. Even Chu Feng himself was astonished; the gray millstones he had condensed in each hand, inscribed with golden symbols, had become incredibly formidable. What was particularly striking was that it seemed to recreate the scenes from the City of Light and Death, where countless corpses of various races floated and sank within an endless golden light.

Though mere phenomena, the visions of fallen gods and a bleeding sky eerily mirrored the countless corpses witnessed in the City of Light and Death, as if brought back to life. Chu Feng was deeply moved. Could he have manifested the aura of that massive, crude stone millstone from the City of Light and Death?

"Cao De!" Li Chentian let out a low roar, struggling to regain his footing. Then, blood erupted from every pore as he ignited his own potential, charging madly at Chu Feng, determined to fight to the death. Potent energy surged as his boundless Dark Saint Domain enveloped the battlefield. He was like an overlord unwilling to accept defeat, returning from the cycle of reincarnation! His demonic flames soared, dark energy like crashing waves or stones piercing the sky, engulfing large sections of the battlefield as he fought desperately.

Alas, it was still futile. Chu Feng's aura swept across vast distances, unstoppable in his might. With a roar, he shattered all the black clouds that had gathered in the sky, revealing a clear expanse above. He unleashed a punch that sent light soaring skyward, overwhelming the battlefield as if capable of suppressing all enemies in the world! This time, Li Chentian was utterly devastated, sent flying diagonally. His body was covered in cracks, his crimson-gold armor shattering, and he was drenched in blood.

The armor the Martial Lunatic wore in his youth had been disassembled and melted into dozens of other armors. The one Li Chentian wore was among them, imbued with incredibly terrifying demonic properties. Without it, given Chu Feng's current berserk state, Li Chentian would have been utterly annihilated, body and soul. After melting the gray substance and inscribing golden symbols onto the small millstones, which he then merged with his hands, his power was devastating. It even suppressed and crushed the "Severing a Thousand Autumns" technique, the first stage of the Time Art. He had now truly entered a state of unmatched valor, sweeping all before him!

*Boom!* Even with metal from the Martial Lunatic's armor integrated into it, Li Chentian's battle suit could no longer withstand the assault. This layer of armor already had several large holes punched into it, and now it was inevitably going to shatter. When Chu Feng unleashed another strike, his fist light surged, shaking the battlefield. The armor emitted a clear and dazzling radiance, then completely disintegrated, exploding with a thunderous roar.

As the remnants of the Martial Lunatic's armor exploded, Li Chentian naturally faced a death blow. The damage was immense, tearing his body apart. His right leg was torn off at the hip, a third of his left side was missing, his right forearm was broken, his chest was caved in, and blood streamed from his brow. Severely wounded, Li Chentian was torn apart by Chu Feng's punch, on the brink of death! Under Chu Feng's fist intent, no regeneration or nirvana technique proved effective. His palms, merged with the small gray millstones, suppressed all enemies and countered every divine art!

The entire battlefield fell silent. A successor of the Martial Lunatic's lineage had actually been blown apart?! This feat shocked everyone. A dignified Great Saint, a mythical creature, had been blasted into pieces, his body shattered, driven to the brink of despair. Subsequently, the three-sided battlefield erupted in commotion. Countless young people shouted, creating a cacophony, and the battle spirit of the youths from the Yongzhou camp surged with excitement. On the vast battlefield, human voices clamored, a multitude of sounds interweaving to drown out the heavens and earth.

Banners flapped vigorously, and none of the three camps could remain calm. Many in the Southern Zhanzhou camp had grim, shifting expressions. Had a successor of the Martial Lunatic's lineage truly been defeated?

"I'll just ask if you're convinced. If not, I'll beat you until you call me daddy!" From the underground dark organization's section, the young brute bull, riding on his father's neck, was excited and agitated. He took a deep puff from a cigar as thick as a carrot, then violently threw it to the ground, roaring with laughter.

"Miss, this person is indeed a great demon. His earlier facade of kindness concealed such ferocity; he is very dangerous!" An old servant reported this to the Zhou family. Zhou Xi simply smiled, saying nothing. Among the Asian Immortal race, Ying Xiaoxiao's waist-length silver hair gleamed brilliantly. She was visibly happy and excited, clapping her hands and cheering loudly. Her brother quickly restrained her, his face darkening as he reminded her that both the Asian Immortal race and the Martial Lunatic's lineage were aligned with Southern Zhanzhou, currently part of the same faction.

Suddenly, many people cried out in alarm as a horrifying development occurred on the battlefield. Amidst the shattered armor, bursts of black light rose from the ground and fragments, coalescing into a blurry figure on the battlefield. It seemed to devour all light, instilling dread and chilling hearts. Not only others, but even God Kings and Heavenly Venerables felt a jolt, staring intently with inexplicable shock.

"That's..." Involuntarily, they all thought of one name: the Martial Lunatic! Was he manifesting himself in the world?! After all, this armor was connected to him and imbued with his demonic essence!

Li Chentian, on the verge of death, his head still attached to the right half of his body, was pale-faced and breathing heavily. He felt both furious and humiliated by such a crushing defeat. Now, he trembled with disbelief. Who was he seeing? This figure closely resembled the Martial Lunatic patriarch from the portrait within their sect's gate! His entire body trembled, his lips quivering. He was seeing the patriarch in this situation? He felt incredibly excited, yet also profoundly ashamed, feeling he had no face to meet his ancestor—it was too humiliating!

In the distance, prominent figures had initially intended to intervene, acknowledge Cao De's overwhelming victory, and spare Li Chentian's life to avoid provoking his lineage. But now they halted. Was that... the Martial Lunatic? His manifestation in the human world was too profoundly shocking! On the battlefield, the blurry figure absorbed all light, growing increasingly oppressive and terrifying, causing heaven and earth to subtly tremble, as if quaking.

"Useless, get up!" These were his words, a scolding directed at Li Chentian. Just four words, yet they horrified everyone! Chu Feng's hair stood on end, his body tensed. He could hardly believe it—he was actually encountering the Martial Lunatic? He had originally intended to rush over, deliver a final blow to Li Chentian, and send him to join Li Chenkun. How could he have foreseen the Martial Lunatic appearing in the human realm!

"Oh no, we've run into one of the most ferocious scourges in the Yang Realm. What are we going to do?" In the distance, Lu Bohu frantically fanned himself until his folding fan disintegrated, highly anxious. Fairy Qingyin's gaze was profound as she stared at the scene. Long ago, the Martial Lunatic had unleashed his might, destroying Menggu Dao, slaying its patriarch, and even killing her previous incarnation, shaking the prehistoric Yang Realm.

In the arena, after a moment of stunned disbelief, Chu Feng's eyes deepened. So what if it was the Martial Lunatic? This couldn't be his true body! If it angered him, he'd simply kill it. The unassuming stone jar within Chu Feng's body stirred. He was ready at any moment to unleash a powerful weapon, manifest the Dao Fruit of a God King, and use the reincarnation soil and wooden spear from the stone jar to eliminate the blurry figure before him! Doing so would undoubtedly send shockwaves throughout the entire Great Yang Realm.

"Useless, get up!" At that moment, the blurry figure roared again, its voice growing clearer, precisely like that of a young boy. The voice was booming, like a vibrating golden bell, deafening. The blurry figure did not appear old; could it be the Martial Lunatic in his youth? Li Chentian trembled, repeatedly failing to struggle to his feet. The blurry figure stood in the darkness, releasing a surge of dark light that caused Li Chentian's body to reassemble, temporarily restoring him to a whole state.

"Go fight!" the blurry figure commanded.

"Yes!" Li Chentian exclaimed, finding his wounds healed and his body temporarily restored to normal. He felt profoundly ashamed, believing he had disgraced his sect. "Patriarch, I have failed my sect, bringing shame upon our ancestral temple. I am guilty!" Li Chentian stammered, then charged madly at Chu Feng.

"Damn it, I'll finish both of you!" Chu Feng, too, was enraged. He didn't care if it was the Martial Lunatic or anyone else; since they had intervened, they were enemies. It would be a fight to the death—he would simply eliminate them!

"Kill!" Li Chentian roared in fury. He knew that his recovery was a second chance at life; his patriarch wanted to see him fight fearlessly, not cowardly await death. He could not afford to lose face again, so he fought with desperate ferocity. "Hmm?" He was surprised. His period of weakness was over, and he could once again use the Seven Deaths Body. At this moment, his eyes blazed with a hint of fanaticism; he knew his chance had arrived.

He immediately split into seven, transforming into seven Great Saints. For a moment, the area resembled a cataclysmic mountain collapse and tsunami, as if heaven and earth were about to shatter under the terrifying energy. Seven Great Saints emerged simultaneously, attacking Chu Feng in unison! Furthermore, each Great Saint employed their ultimate techniques. Countless weapons hung suspended in the air, and the "Severing a Thousand Autumns" Time Art, along with golden pages, reappeared! These were all killer moves, and Li Chentian no longer cared if he could endure or control them. He had descended into madness, willing to pay any price to kill Cao De. The seven Great Saints emerged, hunting Chu Feng!

*Boom!* As if heaven and earth were collapsing, Chu Feng unleashed the Human King's Saint Domain, a dazzling golden expanse densely inscribed with golden symbols, so blinding it was impossible to keep one's eyes open. For a moment, the void fell into a brief stillness, and even the seven Great Saints were temporarily frozen in place!

*Boom!* Chu Feng charged forward, the only one able to move. His hands came together, forming a complete millstone, instantly shattering one Great Saint. In an instant, the other six Great Saints seized the opportunity to break free and move again, but blood was already trickling from their mouths. With one Great Saint dead, the other six were also wounded, their vital energies intrinsically linked!

"Kill!" Chu Feng roared, exerting his full power to suppress and eliminate the remaining six Great Saints! For a time, the area turned chaotic, the battle so fierce that the sun and moon seemed to lose their light, and heaven and earth lost their vibrancy. Another Great Saint exploded! Then the third Great Saint disintegrated, transforming into a cloud of blood mist. For the remaining four Great Saints, this was a catastrophic outcome. Their vital energies were interconnected, and they were all heavily wounded, staggering.

"Kill!" Chu Feng moved his hands, forming a complete, indestructible millstone with each union, blasting away all opposition. In an instant, the remaining four Great Saints were also blasted apart by him, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed. Li Chentian was finally dead, without a trace remaining!

The demise of seven Great Saints shook the battlefield!

"I'll kill you too!" Chu Feng, his hair disheveled and eyes bloodshot, disregarded the consequences and intended to kill the Martial Lunatic as well!
