Chapter 1336: What Is the Divine King’s Envoy?

However, everyone's pupils constricted, including the elegant Divine King who now found it hard to remain composed. His heart was violently shaken. What had he seen?

Primordial Metal Liquid?

The so-called Primordial Metal Liquid Pool is typically formed before the creation of heaven and earth. Once a grand world, a grand realm, or a grand universe takes shape, this substance can no longer appear, as it would have long since solidified and settled.

It is incredibly rare, containing various patterns from before the cosmos was formed. It is something one might encounter by chance but cannot actively seek. Throughout history, countless venerable predecessors, numerous unspeakable Great Universe-level evolvers, have ventured into the primordial chaos, ceaselessly searching for it, desperate to obtain it.

This is because the current path, the existing grand evolutionary dao, has almost reached its end.

People, unable to see a way forward, seek out relics from before creation, hoping to discern some mysterious clue.

Furthermore, formless and other unspeakable Great Universe-level powerhouses are especially keen to find a way out, a path to survival, and a solution to their own critical issues from such unique substances.

Now, Chu Feng stared at this pool, barely three feet square, his gaze sharp and extremely agitated. Even with his soul-light unified and the Dao Fruit of the Lesser Underworld having returned, he struggled to remain composed, his emotions surging intensely.

He, however, was not an unspeakable being, nor did he possess the urgency of a Great Universe-level evolver who needed to resolve personal issues.

However, he could use this to forge his own weapon, and a weapon nurtured by this pool was destined to be extraordinary!

Legend has it that this pool can cultivate supreme weapons because the patterns it contains are exceptionally unique, beyond comprehension, yet immensely powerful.

Chu Feng smiled, his expression bright and radiant.

Beyond refining weapons and gaining enlightenment, this pool also offered him the opportunity to practice the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art. It was undoubtedly a rare treasure of heaven and earth, representing the ultimate essence of the metal element.

The special iridescent light within this pool was dense and constantly intertwined. He could absorb some without any difficulty.

Although the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art could not contend with the Martial Lunatic's Time Art, it was still a terrifying trump card feared by all.

In truth, the primary reason Chu Feng was unable to effectively suppress and kill Li Chentian, the young Great Saint and inheritor of the Martial Lunatic's lineage, with the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art last time was not due to the art's inferior ranking. Instead, it was because he hadn't found the appropriate rare treasures of heaven and earth and thus hadn't fully mastered the technique.

Up to now, Chu Feng had only managed to find rare treasures of heaven and earth with yin and earth attributes; he still lacked quite a few.

Chu Feng immediately activated the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art, absorbing its essence. In an instant, his entire body radiated brilliantly, a metallic sheen flowed over him, and his soul-light resonated and intensely brightened.

Simply and directly, upon seeing this pool and surmising its nature, Chu Feng immediately began to temper himself and cultivate the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art.

Now, the Divine King Dao Fruit within him had revived. With ten years of accumulated insight and study in the Divine King realm, he had already thoroughly comprehended the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art.

Consequently, his efficiency was now incredibly high and exceptionally swift.

His entire body glowed, faintly emitting seven colors, and divine light shot towards the sky.

In the distance, Ying Zhexian's flawless and exquisitely beautiful face subtly changed. She recalled the past, remembering some hazy experiences from the alien realm.

Upon returning from the alien realm, memories would typically fade, but Ying Zhexian, being who she was, had retained some. Moreover, later interactions with Chu Feng had informed her of many details.

It was she who had initially imparted the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art to Chu Feng, when they had joined forces against enemies in the alien realm.

Had he truly mastered this supreme art now?!

This was a closely guarded secret. Even within the Semi-Immortal Clan, only a select few core members could obtain its incantations.

Back then, the alien realm could automatically erase people's memories, so she had no psychological burden or concerns about leaking the scriptures when she transmitted the art.

With the Divine King Dao Fruit fully awakened within Chu Feng's body, rather than in a state of secluded meditation, his complete soul-light participated in the process, making his cultivation exceptionally swift.

He was nearly finished mastering it almost immediately after absorbing some of the iridescent light from the pool. His years of accumulation and research in the Divine King realm had certainly not been in vain!

Chu Feng exhaled softly, feeling a sense of completeness. He vaguely sensed that everyone might have underestimated the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art, believing it to be ranked no higher than eleventh.

This was because he felt the art's power had now surged significantly.

In the past, its low ranking was most likely due to the extreme difficulty in mastering it, as it required seven types of rare heaven and earth treasures. Where would one normally find them?

Substituting with ordinary materials would undoubtedly drastically reduce its effectiveness, and its power would naturally diminish sharply.

Chu Feng wondered if, by assembling all seven of the rarest heaven and earth treasures, he could use the Seven Treasures Mysterious Art to rival the Martial Lunatic's Time Art—or even suppress it.

"You certainly have some skill, getting a head start and absorbing a small portion of the Primordial Metal Liquid Pool's essence," the youth began. "Alright, that's enough. Present that Primordial Metal Liquid Pool to us now."

At this moment, the young envoy standing before Chifeng spoke, directly demanding the fortune of this place and instructing Chu Feng to offer it.

He wore a faint smile, his hands clasped behind his back, mist swirling around him. He was a formidable Divine King, a peak ruler capable of looking down upon many others of his kind.

Chu Feng glanced at him but offered no reply. He was pondering a question: could the Vajra Cuff he possessed, shattered during his reincarnation, be restored in this place?

He was contemplating what form his weapon should ultimately take.

Not far away, the envoy, seeing Chu Feng unresponsive and lost in thought, did not become angry. Instead, he maintained his faint smile, quietly observing the scene.

However, Chifeng felt a chill run down his spine. Although he publicly expressed disdain for Cao De and secretly wished him dead, by this point, he had grown quite sensitive.

He actually felt a shiver of dread and fear towards Cao De, an unsettling premonition.

After all, he was a dignified Divine King!

Now, he sensed something was amiss. Cao De was far too quiet, far too calm. Was he feigning composure, or deliberately being mysterious?

For a moment, his heart trembled. This was a Divine King-level secret realm; on what basis did Cao De dare to enter? Was he relying on the prestige of the First Mountain to suppress others?

He couldn't remain still any longer. He excused himself to the envoy, claiming an urgent need to depart for a short while.

And then, he fled!

Chifeng had actually fled. He felt deeply ashamed; he was a Divine King, yet he feared a mere "insect" from the Saint realm?

But he was simply uneasy; he just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible!

At this moment, beside Ying Zhexian, the elegant Divine King could no longer remain calm either. A strange light blazed in his eyes as he spoke.

"Cao De," the elegant Divine King announced, "seeing as you discovered this great fortune, I shall generously reward you. I will specially permit you to join my clan. You must understand, with troubled times approaching, so-called heaven-blessed talents are as common as weeds. Our clan no longer accepts ordinary geniuses, but you are still quite capable. Come forward and present the Primordial Metal Liquid Pool."

"Who are you, and where did you come from?" Chu Feng finally spoke, no longer lost in thought.

He hadn't anticipated that his attempt to eliminate Chifeng and his group would instead attract two such significant figures. He had no idea where these so-called envoys hailed from or what their identities were.

Since he dared to enter a Divine King-level secret realm, he was naturally fearless. His original intention had been to trap and eliminate some opponents.

Originally, he had planned to use his small black wooden spear to kill enemies and take down some Divine Kings!

Now, however, he no longer needed to. With his Divine King Dao Fruit from the Lesser Underworld back in place, who would he possibly fear?!

The young Divine King standing beside Ying Zhexian's expression subtly hardened. No longer elegant, he exuded killing intent as he stared at Chu Feng. How dared this evolver, who appeared to be merely in the Saint realm, be so disrespectful and speak to him in such a way?!

He spoke, instructing Ying Wudi, "Go, slap him. Secure the Primordial Metal Liquid Pool. As for that Cao De, he needn't be kept alive!"

He ordered the Semi-Immortal Clan member to slap Chu Feng and then kill him.

Then, he glanced at Ying Zhexian and asked, "What do you think?"

Chu Feng's face darkened. From beginning to end, this so-called envoy had never once sought his opinion, treating him as if he were nothing.

Without another word, he allowed his Divine King Dao Fruit and Yang Realm Great Saint Body to merge. In an instant, his aura surged dramatically, and the formidable Divine King blood energy erupted, shaking heaven and earth and causing mountains and rivers to tremble.

Chu Feng slammed a palm forward, engulfing the elegant Divine King.

At this very moment, dense crimson lightning flashed across the sky; the strongest heavenly tribulation had returned.

Chu Feng disdained the heavenly tribulation, his expression cold and confident. With a flick of his hand, the colossal palm he had unleashed drew in the tribulation lightning for his own use, then continued its relentless forward strike.

Of course, he himself was also enduring the heavenly tribulation, suffering incredibly terrifying attacks.

"You dare to attack the Divine Race? You have a death wish!" the elegant Divine King roared.

All of this happened in a flash. Only after the elegant Divine King uttered those words did he realize that the Great Saint opposite him had actually become a Divine King!

Everything had simply happened too quickly!

Furthermore, he had no means of evasion and could only meet it head-on, so he shot upwards into the sky.

Chu Feng's colossal, thunderous hand was simply too terrifying. It covered half the sky, accompanied by countless crimson lightning storms, unleashing a vast aura of destruction.

Unable to evade, he was struck by Chu Feng's palm in mid-air, sent tumbling backward, and then pressed down into the crumbling mountains by another thunderous hand!

"Divine Race? What's that?" Chu Feng murmured, as if to himself, yet also posing a question.

Not far away, Ying Xiaoxiao's mouth hung open in an O-shape. Just moments before, she had been worried, tense, and frightened for Chu Feng.

Ying Zhexian, too, was stunned.
