Chapter 1322: The Ultimate One's Oath

Shameless, Chu Feng boasted to someone in the large bathtub that he was the Heavenly Emperor, claiming to have descended from the heavens to the human realm.

Across from him, a brilliant light flashed in the deep eyes of the beautiful woman, whose aura was like that of a vixen. She was impressed by his audacity; even at such a critical moment, he still dared to spout nonsense.

She showed no alarm or shyness. Instead, she calmly and quite lazily leaned against the delicate side of the bathtub, exuding an air of enchanting grace.

Her appearance was beyond reproach, flawless. Her small, palm-sized face was fair and delicate, exquisitely perfect without a single blemish. Her large eyes were glistening and full of spirit.

Her figure was captivating, like a beautiful serpent, gracefully undulating. However, her fair curves, slender waist, and long legs were all concealed by ten flawless white fox tails, revealing only the faint, alluring outline of her body.

Even so, it was mesmerizing and sparked countless imaginations. She was an peerless enchantress, a classic Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox, a being previously only found in legends and now virtually impossible to find a second one in the world.

This was because a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was already considered a prodigy among the fox tribe, their talent being exceptionally rare throughout history.

Yet, this woman was a Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Her crystalline skin, veiled by the snow-white fox tails, possessed an indescribable allure. Truly, she was born of the fox tribe, with innate charm.

"You must be Cao De, the Heavenly Emperor Cao, aren't you?"

The woman spoke languidly, her voice soft and alluringly magnetic, with no hint of anger.

Upon hearing this, even Chu Feng, with his thick skin and unyielding face, couldn't help but blush. Had he been recognized already?

Although he had previously smeared his face and used his disheveled hair to obscure it, it now seemed his true identity had long been known.

This was truly embarrassing. He was already a celebrity on the battlefield, prone to telling blatant lies, and now to be exposed claiming to be the Heavenly Emperor while sharing a bathtub with a woman—it was mortifying.

Of course, only ordinary people would feel such shame, wanting to dig a hole and hide.

But Chu Feng was no ordinary person; his skin was incredibly thick. So, after a momentary twitch of his facial muscles, he resumed his composed demeanor.

"I apologize for my intrusion late at night. It was truly presumptuous of me."

Seeing him so earnest, with his hands clasped together, apologizing, even the alluring and cunning Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox almost couldn't contain herself. She truly wanted to slap him directly, or thrash his face with all ten of her fox tails!

Who intrudes on someone in their bathtub?!

An ordinary woman would have screamed, crying out for help to catch the intruder, alarming the entire camp and sending many people to pursue the pervert.

She was calm and composed, but that didn't mean she truly didn't care. She was simply holding back for now, turning certain thoughts over in her mind.

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox offered a faint smile, which truly lit up the entire tent-cave dwelling. It was a smile that could topple kingdoms, utterly radiant and enchanting.

Her snow-white arms, translucent like fine jade, extended from the water as she gathered her damp, beautiful hair. Her red lips were vibrant and lustrous, her teeth like gleaming pearls.

But in an instant, Chu Feng's hair stood on end. He once again experienced an irresistible spiritual field that had imperceptibly enveloped him.

He was certain that any other contemporary would likely fall prey to it, as this spiritual energy was terrifying, penetrating every crevice and completely invading the entire body without detection.

However, he was a Great Sage, a legend among legends!

Therefore, Chu Feng detected it in advance, sensing the danger.

Yet, he remained "cooperative," feigning a slight daze, wanting to see what his opponent was capable of and how powerful she truly was.

"Are you truly a disciple of First Mountain?" the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox asked, parting her red lips slightly.

This cunning vixen, through conversations at First Mountain and various clues, suspected that Chu Feng's connection with First Mountain might not be as close or genuine as it seemed.

"Yes!" Chu Feng replied with a seemingly weak but firm expression.

He was somewhat startled. This descendant of the Heavenly Fox tribe was far too strong, as he had discovered a terrifying fact: her evolutionary level was merely at the Golden Body stage, yet her spiritual field could affect him!

Chu Feng was certain that if he hadn't been a Great Sage, his mind would have been completely manipulated, making him respond to anything she said without resistance.

How was this possible? He had never heard of an evolutionist at the Golden Body realm being able to manipulate a Great Sage!

In an instant, Chu Feng considered a possibility that made him break out in a cold sweat.

This woman might have achieved something against heaven, attaining the legendary Dao Fruit!

She had already become a Saint, but through self-refinement and tempering her true self, she had painstakingly refined her cultivation back down to the Golden Body realm, a process hailed as the strongest cultivation in history.

There have been such individuals in evolutionary history, but they are truly rare, countable on one's fingers.

This kind of cultivation is sometimes described as a Buddha walking the earth in physical form!

This is a true act of extreme exertion, reshaping one's true self, refining a Saint down to a Golden Body—how incredibly difficult is that?

This woman of the Heavenly Fox tribe had accomplished it, having already taken this step and reached this rarely seen ancient level. Such an achievement was truly astonishing!

If it were known, it would certainly be recorded in historical annals.

"Last night, a dense fog appeared in the Yongzhou camp, and the Scavengers were active, but you disappeared. What exactly happened there?"

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox's voice was soft and gentle as she quietly inquired about the details from Chu Feng, still maintaining her special spiritual field, seeking to uncover the truth.

"I was taken into a special space by a Scavenger and lost consciousness. Later, I don't know why, he threw me back out," Chu Feng replied.

At this moment, he fully understood the woman's strength and no longer dared to underestimate her.

This was a vixen with terrifying evolutionary talent.

Yet, she was so low-key; there had never been any news of her achieving a mysterious Dao Fruit on the three battlefields.

Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart. He had already decided to embark on this path, but someone had actually set out earlier and succeeded!

In an instant, Chu Feng recalled what Six-Eared Macaque, Peng Wanli, Xiao Yao, and others had mentioned when he first met them: there was a Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox woman in Southern Zhanzhou who was invincible in the Golden Body realm, capable of suppressing opponents with a mere glance and making them obey her commands. Her charm arts were said to be unparalleled in the world.

Earlier, Chu Feng hadn't paid much attention, thinking she was just a fox girl at the Golden Body stage, nothing significant. He believed he would naturally have no fear if he encountered her.

But now it seemed he had severely underestimated the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox; she was an existence in her corresponding domain, like a Buddha walking the earth.

Once such a Dao Fruit was attained, even if she suppressed herself to the Golden Body level, her strength was absolutely not merely Golden Body tier. It was more terrifying than her original Saint cultivation.

The so-called "reshaping" was not self-abandonment, but rather a step further, where body and spirit reached the pinnacle of flawless Buddhahood.

Chu Feng even wondered if she had first cultivated to become a Great Sage and then suppressed and refined herself back to the Golden Body realm. If so, that would be even more terrifying!

It wasn't impossible; the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox gave Chu Feng a very dangerous feeling.

"Strange. You truly are a disciple of First Mountain. Hmm, why would the Scavenger capture you only to release you again? That makes no sense."

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox mused aloud, quite perplexed. But in an instant, a divine light flashed in her eyes, and two dragon-shaped beams shot out, quite intimidating.

Then, her graceful and alluring snow-white body leaned against the wooden tub's side. Stretching her exquisite form in a comfortable posture, she said, "Heh, I truly underestimated you. Your spiritual level is so profound; you almost fooled me. Stop pretending, I know you're fully conscious."

Chu Feng remained "blank," offering no response.

"Look, you've intruded into my private residence and seen me bathing. This is rather... improper, wouldn't you say? Don't you think you should take responsibility for me?"

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox's gaze was intoxicating, growing even more languid and charming. A mere glance from her truly brought forth a hundred enchantments, captivating all beings.

"I... will take responsibility," Chu Feng responded mechanically.

"Oh?" The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox was surprised. Had her suspicion been wrong? Was this guy still under her influence, his mind sluggish?

"Then swear," she said indifferently.

"I swear that I will take responsibility for the peerless beauty of the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox tribe, even if she grows old, goes blind, becomes unable to care for herself, gets injured, becomes disabled, loses all ten of her tails, her body withers, she becomes paralyzed, or her mind deteriorates..."

"Get out!" The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox quickly cut him off, flushing slightly with her first hint of annoyance. She was truly enraged by this shameless person. Why didn't he mention his own misfortunes? He was swearing based on her potential miseries! How utterly brazen, this was clearly intentional.

She realized the scoundrel was faking it.

"You cannot interrupt me! This is a vow from a handsome young man destined to become an ultimate evolutionist. I am willing to take responsibility. I, Cao Zhōngjí, always keep my word. Let me finish my oath!"

"Get out, shut up! Why don't you talk about your own miseries? Swear upon yourself!" the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox rebuked.

She was extremely beautiful and adept at changing expressions, switching between feigned anger and sensual allure. With bright eyes and pearly teeth, every frown and smile exuded captivating charm.

At this moment, she secretly prepared to attack Chu Feng. Since he wasn't suppressed by her spiritual field, it was time for a real move!

However, Chu Feng issued a serious warning, claiming they were on the same side and she shouldn't accidentally injure him. He then added, "No matter what, we've shared a 'mandarin duck' bath together. We're still in the same tub, fully exposed. How could you bring yourself to attack?"

In an instant, ten Heavenly Fox tails swished, intending to pierce him. Chu Feng gently blocked with the black wooden spear in his hand, and the ten white beams swiftly dodged.

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox couldn't see through the black wooden spear, but she sensed it was not to be trifled with.

"Stop, we truly are on the same side!" Chu Feng shouted, then quickly uttered an ancient saying and called out a name.

The Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox was astonished. She immediately quieted down, then a divine light burst forth from her eyes as she stared at Chu Feng, waiting for his explanation.

Chu Feng now had a clear idea. This was indeed a descendant of Stone Fox Heavenly Venerate. What he had just said were some words Stone Fox Heavenly Venerate had once told him, as well as Stone Fox Heavenly Venerate's secular name, Su Can.

"Big niece, do you believe me now? We're family. Old Su and I are sworn brothers!" Chu Feng said very seriously.

However, the Ten-Tailed Heavenly Fox wanted to abuse him. This shameful "De" generation, so young, yet dared to claim sworn brotherhood with that ancestor?

Suddenly, the world violently trembled, and blood rained down. Simultaneously, the strong cultivators of the entire Zhanzhou camp were utterly shocked, and then some cried out heartbreaking wails of grief.

What was happening?

Chu Feng stared blankly at the large hole above the tent-cave dwelling, where stars and moon had once been visible—a hole he had made. But now, torrents of blood rain were pouring down, and the scene in the heavens was astonishing.

The stars and moon were gone. Chu Feng saw the sky filled with falling corpses of gods and demons, densely packed and boundless. Was this real, or an illusion?

Furthermore, black lightning rent the sky, interwoven with blood-red lightning, tearing the very fabric of heaven and earth. The sight was extremely tragic and terrifying.

"Dead! The peerless overlord of Southern Zhanzhou, the supreme powerhouse on the verge of becoming an ultimate evolutionist, has fallen!"

Someone cried out, shaking the three battlefields and astounding everyone.

Especially in the Zhanzhou camp, everyone was momentarily stunned, their faces pale. Who was this? To actually kill an overlord!

It was known that the overlords of Southern Zhanzhou, Eastern Yongzhou, and Western Hezhou—these three peerless experts—had never truly clashed on the battlefield, nor had they ever revealed their true forms.

But now, a peerless overlord had actually fallen?!

*Boom!*

Still from the direction of Southern Zhanzhou, another violent tremor resounded, making the Yang Realm tremble. Suddenly, the torrential rain grew even more terrifying.

"My heavens, another overlord has fallen?!" Someone cried out in shock, unable to stop trembling, their teeth chattering.

Through the celestial phenomena, the anomalies in the starry sky, and the changes in the energy field, some people shivered, realizing that another peerless overlord had fallen in Zhanzhou.

Was the world about to undergo a massive change? The whole world trembled.

People's hearts pounded. This was truly a troubled time, with earth-shattering events occurring one after another!

One really can't set up targets. The last time I said something, my glasses broke the very next day, and I had to wait two days to get a new pair. I dare not set up targets anymore, but I still want to say I'll work hard to write two chapters tomorrow! Is this... setting up another one? Let me scare myself first. "Jiezong Literature"
