Chapter 1263: Cao Da

Outside the battlefield, there was a deathly silence. The evolutionaries from all races felt their scalps tingle. That was a Great Saint with a significant background, yet Cao De had simply killed him!

The high-ranking figures who had earlier intended to intervene and save Li Chentian's life felt their faces twitch. The turn of events was too sudden; they had seen the Martial Lunatic's blurry figure emerge and thought Li Chentian would be safe.

Who could have anticipated that the young Martial Lunatic would be so cold and heartless, completely ignoring him? He merely called him trash and told him to keep fighting, watching as Cao De blew him apart and slaughtered the seven Great Saints!

Not only that, what did they just witness? Cao De's eyes were like crimson lightning, his hair disheveled, murderous aura surging—was he going to kill the Martial Lunatic too?

This left everyone dumbfounded and incredulous!

Chu Feng, driven to a frenzy by the killing, his body glowed with immeasurable light. Thunder and lightning crackled with every movement, thick bolts of lightning danced around him. He resembled a boundless, terrifying demonic lord.

He truly charged towards the Martial Lunatic, his wild hair flying. As his hands moved, two grinding discs subtly appeared, as if capable of grinding all life in the world to dust.

"Martial Lunatic, take a punch from old Cao!" Chu Feng roared.

In reality, Chu Feng was secretly preparing the Reincarnation Earth and the chopstick-length black wooden spear, ready to deploy them at any moment.

"Damn it, he's insane!" This was everyone's thought. He actually dared to attack the Martial Lunatic, to throw a punch at him.

Who exactly was the lunatic? Did it even matter if their roles were swapped? This was... Cao the Lunatic!

At this moment, everyone was utterly bewildered.

Because the real Martial Lunatic hadn't even gotten angry or made a move yet, but Cao De had already gone mad and was actively attacking.

This left people wide-eyed and sent shivers down their spines. If this enraged the Martial Lunatic, what terrifying events would unfold?

Would he massacre the entire battlefield?!

At this point, even some high-ranking figures felt a chill down their spines, believing Cao De had completely lost his mind, acting with such outrageous audacity.

The blurry figure stood in the darkness, devouring all light, like a black hole, as if the most terrifying creature in the world had taken a stand there.

Chu Feng approached, his hands clasped together, resembling terrifying gray grinding discs rumbling. Numerous chains of divine order appeared, creating a daunting spectacle.

Many people showed a strange look. "This... it looks exactly like the Grinding Disc Fist!"

People increasingly had a misconception: Who was the real Martial Lunatic?

"Grinding Disc Fist?" Sure enough, the blurry figure spoke, a hint of surprise in its voice.

"Wrong, this is the World Grinding Fist!"

Chu Feng corrected him, forming a fist seal, erupting with dazzling light, and attacking forward.

Simultaneously, his Reincarnation Earth and the small wooden spear were also ready, about to be unleashed.

However, the dark figure vanished from its spot and reappeared on the other side of the land, still terrifyingly dark, devouring light. It was observing Chu Feng.

Particularly, as it stared at Chu Feng's hands, it revealed a strange expression for the first time. Divine light, like lightning, illuminated the entire battlefield from its deep black eyes.

Chu Feng's heart tightened. He had been about to unleash the wooden spear, intending to publicly kill the Martial Lunatic, but the dark figure teleported, standing much further away in a different direction.

He noticed the young Martial Lunatic's gaze, which was very intimidating. The expression was complex, showing both surprise and doubt.

Chu Feng's heart sank. In an instant, many thoughts flooded his mind. Could the Martial Lunatic be a terrifying creature with a far more significant background than imagined?

Had the Martial Lunatic also once walked that path of reincarnation, and remembered some symbols on the stone grinding disc in the City of Light and Death, thus creating the Grinding Disc Fist?

This was somewhat terrifying. Even if one carried talismans, safely crossed reincarnation, and preserved memories, it should be impossible to comprehend anything from the crude stone grinding disc in the City of Light and Death!

Because on that path, even with talismans, one would be ignorant and muddled, unable to remain conscious.

Only when carried by the talismans, leaping across that abyss, and reaching the stone embryo at the end of the reincarnation path, would consciousness return.

In other words, apart from Chu Feng, who possessed the stone jar and could physically traverse and remain conscious enough to comprehend things from the huge, crude stone grinding disc in the City of Light and Death, theoretically, no one else should be able to see or comprehend it.

Yet, the Martial Lunatic's eyes were so strange, as if he too had walked that path and discerned something?!

This was naturally terrifying and chilling!

Originally, in prehistoric times, he was an invincible being. Now it seemed he might have an even more ancient past life. No wonder his power and tyranny were so outrageous.

"State your name," the figure in the darkness spoke coldly, with a detached air and a subtle tyranny beneath its calm.

"You want to know who I am? Telling you is no big deal!" Chu Feng said.

He stood tall and proud, indeed very heroic and domineering. Especially with the blood of Great Saints staining him, having just slaughtered seven of them, he exuded a demonic aura, his valiant bearing awe-inspiring. He loudly declared: "My name is Cao, Cao Sanlong!"

The battlefield fell silent, many people petrified as if they had seen a ghost. What did he say his name was? Cao? What did that have to do with the prehistoric Li? He must be saying it on purpose!

Of course, some people felt uneasy, their hearts pounding. Their gaze towards him had changed.

"Martial Lunatic, are you currently in your youth state? Come, fight a life-and-death battle with me, Cao. Let's see who leaves alive!"

Chu Feng challenged him, pressing forward again.

With things coming to a head, retreating was useless. He had completely let loose.

The Martial Lunatic's gaze was profound and dark; he remained silent. He continued to stare at Chu Feng's hands, at the fists that resembled gray grinding discs.

"Hmph, Martial Lunatic, take a punch from me, Cao!"

Chu Feng roared, pouncing again. He was incomparably fierce, golden light surging, energy vast and mighty. He was like a golden lightning bolt, reaching extreme speed.

This form of address left people somewhat bewildered. How old was he to dare call himself "old Cao"? Did he really think he was Li?

In the distance, the Six-Eared Macaque was scratching its ears and cheeks.

Of course, what was most shocking was that Cao De was not bluffing. He really charged forward, once again intent on killing the Martial Lunatic.

Everyone unanimously agreed that he was also a lunatic. Forget calling him Cao; calling him "Cao the Lunatic" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

What was surprising was that the blurry figure vanished into the void and then reappeared at the far end of the land. It did not engage Chu Feng in battle; it actually evaded him.

"Martial Lunatic, where are you escaping to? Cao is here! Give me your life!" Chu Feng roared, striding with his long legs, swiftly giving chase.

This was very surprising; why did the Martial Lunatic not fight? It completely contradicted his character.

From his youth, he had fought bloody battles, crushing opponents along the way. On the eve of his reclusion, he was still slaughtering sects and drenching the world in blood. Was he good-tempered now? That wasn't realistic.

"Remnants turn to dust, demonic nature gone. Farewell!"

These were the Martial Lunatic's words. The dark figure shattered, and finally, its eyes gazed deeply at Chu Feng before a ray of light shot out and vanished towards the horizon.

None of the evolutionaries watching dared to pursue, not even the Celestial Venerables. They were all well-behaved and dutiful, fearing the Martial Lunatic.

Chu Feng understood instantly upon hearing this. Did this mean the dark figure just now was merely for show, possessing no combat power? Or had it infused its remaining energy into Li Chentian?

Otherwise, even the young Martial Lunatic would have already made a tyrannical move!

"Martial Lunatic, where do you think you're escaping to? Stay right there! Cao is here, and I'm going to kill you today!"

Chu Feng strode with his long legs, sprinting all the way, just like that, giving chase. He genuinely wanted to destroy that ray of light.

He believed that the ray of light, which had escaped from the demonic nature, would carry information about this place and go report it.

He always felt that the Martial Lunatic was very interested in his World Grinding Fist and had an unusual attitude towards him. Even though it was the young Martial Lunatic, far from his peak, he seemed to know many things!

Therefore, he pursued relentlessly!

People on the battlefield were petrified. This Cao De... he was truly defying heaven. Leaving aside his other achievements, his actions today alone would cause an enormous sensation.

For millions of years, through countless ages, countless prodigies and heroes emerged, some even astounding ancient and modern times. They wanted to challenge the Martial Lunatic, to destroy that dark source. They sought his secluded cultivation places, or the ominous lands where he might have resided. But they all went and never returned, not even stirring a ripple.

Since then, no one dared to offend him again.

After the last few peerless prodigies of the prehistoric era vanished, no one went looking for him, or for death.

Yet now, Cao De dared to shout so loudly, and even dared to stride swiftly in pursuit of the Martial Lunatic. This was simply a myth within a myth, like something out of Arabian Nights.

"Don't you dare escape! What Martial Lunatic? What undefeated myth? Today, I'm going to beat you until your head is bruised and bleeding, and then finish you off!"

Chu Feng roared, and after unleashing his Divine Foot Technique, the soles of his feet glowed. Each time he pushed off the ground, the earth would crack, and he would leap a great distance.

His speed was incredible, and the sonic booms were deafening.

Unfortunately, this was the Yang Realm, where even a Great Saint could not fly.

Behind him, people were shocked. To kill the Martial Lunatic, and first beat him until his head was bruised and bleeding? Where had they heard something like this before?

Soon, they recalled a secret rumor: back in the prehistoric era, Li Li Sanlong had once ambushed the Martial Lunatic, beating him until his head was bruised and bleeding.

In that prehistoric era, the Martial Lunatic's only defeat was against the Great Black Hand, Li. After much painful reflection, he dedicated himself to studying and trying to decipher Li's wondrous techniques.

This led him later to slaughter clans and destroy sects, venturing into famous mountains and great rivers, and navigating vast wildernesses, often barely escaping death, all to find the most powerful invincible techniques in the Yang Realm.

"He's truly Cao the Lunatic! Saying he'll beat him until his head is bruised and bleeding... he's doing this on purpose, bringing up old grievances from back then, isn't he?" People suspected.

"Don't call him Cao the Lunatic; he calls himself Cao Sanlong!" Someone corrected.

That ray of light was too fast; in a few flashes, it was about to escape the vast and boundless battlefield.

"Martial Lunatic, stop right there! If you have the guts, stay and I, Cao Sanlong, will solo you!" Chu Feng roared from behind, shaking the battlefield.

Everyone was petrified!

No matter what, Cao De's name would spread throughout all races today. Regardless of whether he had the strength to slaughter the young Martial Lunatic, his words and actions alone would ignite public opinion.

"From now on, will we really call him Cao?" Someone sighed.

"Shameless fellow, you're not trying to use this opportunity to escape too, are you? I haven't settled scores with you yet!" In the distance, Long Dayu watched, gritting his teeth, his face full of disdain.

On the other side, among the Zhou clan, Zhou Xi also spoke, asking her old servant to arrange a meeting; she wanted to talk with Cao De.

"Miss, he is a great devil, very dangerous, and not suitable for close proximity!" An elder warned.

Young Lady Xi raised her luminous white chin and said, "If he weren't a great devil, I wouldn't even be interested in talking to him. Only great devils are qualified!"

The faces of several elders immediately darkened.
