Chapter 1279: Wielding the Knife to Castrate Oneself

Overwhelming power, strangling a Heavenly Venerable!

Number Nine mercilessly ravaged the beautiful woman, showing no quarter. He had already begun to eat, gnawing on a pale, beautiful leg as if it were raw meat! Everyone who witnessed this felt dizzy and utterly shocked; that was a transcendent being from the Martial Lunatic's lineage, destined to become one of the most powerful figures in the Yang Realm, yet she was simply being gnawed upon.

Youlan's entire body was as white as jade, her figure peerless, truly a beauty of her generation. Her whole being radiated light, sacred and flawless. Coupled with her status as a relatively "young" Heavenly Venerable, she exuded a very alluring aura. But now, she was severely wounded; a pair of her long, pale legs had vanished, being consumed by someone.

This made everyone tremble!

At this moment, people finally understood why Jicai Xuan, Mi Qing, Goddess-King Xiao Shiyun, and other stunning beauties had all become strange, short-legged figures. It was for self-preservation, fearing they would be eaten! Many were speechless, some dumbfounded, but most were trembling, their hearts pounding. If even a Heavenly Venerable's thigh was being eaten without hesitation, who wouldn't be afraid?

At this moment, Ancestor Chixu of the Nine-Headed Bird clan was almost fainting. What kind of monster had he truly encountered? As he recalled his earlier words, his vision blurred, and his heart filled with dread; he almost collapsed to the ground. Especially now that Number Nine no longer concealed the Heavenly Secrets, Ancestor Chixu of the Nine-Headed Bird clan finally saw the truth: several of his descendants had lost their legs! What else did he see? The Silver Dragon Ancestor also had only one leg?!

This was too much of a shock for him. Chixu's hair stood on end; he almost wanted to flee immediately. This was... a leg-eating maniac! Just imagine, if Number Nine was even eating a world-class beauty like Youlan, would he spare him?

Youlan tightly closed her bright red lips. This was the biggest setback of her life; the battle had just begun, and her long legs were already severed, becoming food. Her heart was shaken, and a chill rose from the deepest part of her soul. This was an invincible enemy. Enduring the intense pain, she carefully assessed the situation. Even if the Second Ancestor appeared in person, it might not be enough to kill this green-eyed living corpse before her.

Number Nine's hair was messy, like withered yellow wild grass, but he was very quiet while eating. He held the thigh in one hand and occasionally used a golden decree with the other to gently wipe his mouth, removing bloodstains. There was a mesmerizing quality to this wiping action; it appeared remarkably elegant, yet he was eating a Heavenly Venerable's thigh, which made everyone shudder. This battle shook the entire battlefield. Everyone was stunned. What kind of being was Number Nine, to be so terrifying?

Cao De had actually invited people from his sect, and the news quickly spread: they came from the "Foremost Mountain Under Heaven." This was truly earth-shattering news! For a time, countless cultivators were bewildered and terrified. Was there truly still a lineage in the Foremost Mountain Under Heaven?

Haoyuan couldn't sit still; he had to report the major events unfolding here. He needed to find every way to inform his ancestor, the Overlord of Yongzhou, who was currently comprehending the ultimate path of evolution. After all, people from the Martial Lunatic's lineage were being devoured and detained here; huge events were bound to unfold. Number Nine was effectively declaring war on the Martial Lunatic's lineage! The Second Ancestor would definitely arrive, and it was highly probable that the Martial Lunatic would also emerge because of this. Not only was he anxious, but everyone was also speculating that after a long passage of time, the Martial Overlord of the North was about to unleash a bloody purge upon the world once more. The three words "Martial Lunatic" weighed as heavily as a demonic mountain, capable of collapsing the starry sky!

Number Nine had temporarily settled down, but outside of his main tent, other places were far from calm. Someone was using a domain to transmit messages. In a certain ancient pure land in the North, for a time, blood energy surged into the heavens, obscuring the great provinces and staining the starry sky red. A terrifying expert was reawakening. In the dazzling light, a vague silhouette was revealed, and as a pair of eyes opened and closed, the sight was terrifying. Within his pupils, suns fell, moons were destroyed, and stars collapsed; there were even scenes of ancient universes tearing apart. Although no one dared disturb the Second Ancestor, the crowd lingering outside his seclusion spot still startled him, causing him to sense something. Blood energy overwhelmed the heavens and earth, shocking all sects in the North. A slight movement from such a being would be a colossal event!

Many people felt that a storm was brewing; an extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere was spreading, making them almost suffocate. It was fated that peerless experts from the North would head South; even the Martial Lunatic, an invincible being renowned throughout history, might reappear in the world. Some were fearful, some were scared, while others were excited, anticipating and waiting for the great explosion of that moment.

However, on the three-way battlefield at this moment, Number Nine was remarkably calm, fiddling with flowers and plants and enjoying a delicious meal. This time, it wasn't raw food, but cooked. The food on the plate now was precisely Chixu's thigh meat, braised into an exquisite delicacy, accompanied by various seasonings. Its irresistible aroma made people's mouths water. Ancestor Chixu of the Nine-Headed Bird clan ultimately could not escape the fate of having his legs eaten, though this time they were cooked. The Nine-Headed Birds in the Heavenly Legion were considered rare treasures, and Number Nine's high praise for them made the Nine-Headed Bird clan's ancestor, upon hearing it, truly want to cry! Number Nine showed no tension whatsoever about the impending world-shaking battle; he was remarkably peaceful.

Chu Feng was looking for Heavenly Venerable Qirong, hoping he could quickly arrange his entry into the secret realm to first extract the creation matter he was owed. He was afraid of unforeseen changes; this place could absolutely not remain calm and was destined for world-shaking upheavals! Heavenly Venerable Qirong was in a difficult position; he needed time. The secret realm he had won required negotiations with people from Zhanzhou and Hezhou, and its boundaries had not yet been properly delineated. Chu Feng had no choice and could only wait patiently.

From a distance, he saw Fairy Qingyin, and his heart stirred slightly. He decided to go forward, wanting to talk with her deeply; after all, she was the mother of his child. Although he already knew that she had cast aside everything from the Lesser Netherworld, regained the memories of the First Heavenly Maiden of Prehistory, and had already informed their old acquaintances to relay the message that all their past together had dissipated with the wind, completely severed, becoming two parallel lines never to intersect again, he felt it was still necessary to talk.

"Wait?!"

As Chu Feng was about to approach, he unexpectedly found a group of victims, a gathering of disabled individuals.

"Ah..."

He heard screams from a long distance away. There were many people here, guarded by experts from various clans, ensuring sufficient safety at the scene and allowing no disturbances. However, Chu Feng came but was not stopped, because people were truly intimidated by Number Nine and Great Sage Cao from the Foremost Mountain Under Heaven.

Chu Feng was astonished. What did he see? A group of legless people were self-mutilating; their actions were truly ruthless! God-King Chifeng sliced himself, severing both his legs at the roots; the bloody scene was a bit frightening. Not far away, Kunlong, the Three-Headed Divine Dragon Yuntu, and others had already performed similar acts. As a result, they all turned pale, extremely distressed, and in immense pain. Subsequently, the Silver Dragon Ancestor and Ancestor Chixu of the Nine-Headed Bird clan also became resolute, making this choice. They didn't believe it and wanted to try for themselves. The roots of their thighs were all severed, covering the ground in deep red; it was truly a bit terrifying.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to practice some divine skill? Is this... self-castration with a blade?!" Chu Feng exclaimed, astonished.

"Self-castration, my foot!" Many people truly wanted to curse; their faces were utterly drained of color from the pain. They merely wanted to cut off the wounds, remove the vestiges of the Great Dao left by Number Nine, and thus allow their severed limbs to regenerate and grow back. As a result, they found they had failed; it was completely useless. The aura left by Number Nine was omnipresent and simply could not be purified. Even Heavenly Venerable Chixu, the Nine-Headed Bird Ancestor, who refused to believe it, tried and failed. Even they couldn't succeed.

"You are truly ruthless to yourselves! Could it be that you've really obtained some supreme secret manual? To cultivate a heavenly technique, you just gave yourselves a slice with a backhand. This truly shows perseverance, courage, and willpower!" Chu Feng exclaimed.

The whole group wanted to kill him!

Meanwhile, in the North, blood energy surged, overwhelming the heavens and earth. Stars and the moon trembled, and the atmosphere became increasingly terrifying as a formidable expert was about to emerge and head South!
