Chapter 1358: Just That Invincible

Chu Feng couldn't help but inwardly roll his eyes. What kind of people were these? No sooner had he thought about it than two Heavenly Venerates appeared, and they both looked like exceptionally formidable individuals.

Though they restrained their auras to the Saint realm, fearing they would shatter this space, Chu Feng's Fiery Golden Eyes could still discern their true nature.

"Hmm, this is a bit strange. The aura here makes one restless and uncomfortable," one of the elders remarked.

He wore a dusty gray Daoist robe and, though slightly gaunt, his voice was resonant, like a vibrating golden bell, indicating abundant vitality and spirit.

This was a formidable individual. Though dressed like a Daoist, he was not actually a member of the Dao Race. He belonged to the Yuan family, who were targeting the Yu Shang clan and had long coveted the supreme imperial artifact of the Yu Shang ancestors.

"Hmm, it seems a bit strange. You go check the other side; I'll circle around from here to make sure we don't miss anything," the other Heavenly Venerate said.

He wore a dark red battle robe, his beard and hair were jet black, and he was of medium build. He was a powerful Heavenly Venerate at his peak; sharp glints of light like lightning flashed from his eyes as they opened and closed.

Chu Feng was surprised that they hadn't detected him in advance.

Instantly, he understood why: the distance was vast, and his Fiery Golden Eyes had evolved once more, becoming astonishingly keen.

Furthermore, the two Heavenly Venerates had forcibly suppressed their realms to enter the Saint's Secret Realm, causing all their various abilities to decline severely.

Both were members of the Yuan family; one came closer, while the other went far away.

Chu Feng held no goodwill towards them. This lineage had killed Yao Yao's clan and had committed unspeakable atrocities by implanting mother gold into Yao Yao's grandfather and conducting various cruel experiments.

Although he had already killed Yuan Ling, he still struggled to appease the anger in his heart. The true mastermind of the clan, the one who could command the world, had not yet emerged.

"Time to collect more interest," Chu Feng thought, standing ready. He stared at the robust and vigorous Heavenly Venerate approaching him, whose beard and hair gleamed black.

This Heavenly Venerate, who appeared to be a middle-aged man, possessed exceptionally vigorous vitality, all dormant deep within his body; if unleashed, it would be quite terrifying.

In fact, Chu Feng was unsure himself. He had never heard of a Divine King being able to slay a Heavenly Venerate. Could his risky endeavor succeed today?

He believed that once they engaged, if his opponent faced defeat, they would surely unleash their Heavenly Venerate might, and at that point, the trouble would be immense.

Firstly, he would be in great danger, possibly killed by the Heavenly Venerate.

Secondly, this small world would collapse. He wasn't worried about that, as he would be unharmed under the protection of the stone jar. However, if the Heavenly Venerate could also endure and survive, the stone jar would likely be exposed.

"In that case, I can only kill him; I can't let him leave alive," Chu Feng declared, his eyes like two blazing torches, emitting intense beams of light.

Chu Feng left the dried-up Sea of Reincarnation, no longer paying attention to the strange path that was still opening. This place remained connected to the banks of the Soul River, making it very ominous.

He walked out, ready to meet the challenge.

Not long after, the Yuan family Heavenly Venerate approached, discovering Chu Feng from a considerable distance. He asked in a deep voice, "It's a bit unexpected to find you here. Where is Yuan Ling?"

He wore dark red armor that emitted a cold metallic sheen, as if it had endured countless battles and been dyed that chilling color by the blood of many Heavenly Venerates.

"Yuan Ling? He was that Heavenly Venerate whose cultivation was crippled, as weak as a chicken, and I killed him," Chu Feng calmly informed him.

He felt no need to be polite towards this clan. They had been so utterly ruthless towards the Yu Shang clan, exuding an ominous aura from their very core. One simply could not treat such villains kindly.

This caused Yuan Feng, the middle-aged Heavenly Venerate in the crimson battle robe, to glare instantly, his eyes like two knives gouging into Chu Feng.

He bellowed, "Who gave you the courage to disrespect a Heavenly Venerate and spout such nonsense in front of me? Even if your ancestors were resurrected, they would have to bow their heads, tremble, and prostrate themselves before me. You, a mere Saint, dare to be so presumptuous? Come here and accept your punishment, present the mark of the Yu Shang clan!"

Imperceptibly, he unleashed a special domain that intimidated people's spirits, making them want to surrender.

A curtain of light suddenly appeared around Chu Feng. If his Dao Fruit hadn't been special and he hadn't cultivated the Robbery-Inducing Breathing Technique to its perfected chapter, such a sudden attack might have truly put him at a disadvantage.

This was a secret art of the Yuan family, an extremely ancient, bizarre, and very powerful curse that covered the area as soon as the words were spoken.

Normally, people wouldn't take verbal confrontations seriously, but in this situation, the Yuan family had already unleashed a killer move.

Chu Feng's body automatically conjured an even more brilliant light curtain as his Human King Domain expanded, isolating the curse's attack. Swathes of blood-colored runes were blocked and then disintegrated.

"Your grandpa is a Great Saint!"

Chu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, an arrogant expression, looking disdainfully at Heavenly Venerate Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng's gaze was dark; he wanted to poke this young Saint to death with a single finger.

Didn't Yuan Feng know that Cao De was a Great Saint? Of course, he knew, even about his connection to the First Mountain. But in order to obtain that supreme treasure shrouded in the Mother Qi of All Things, what else would this clan not dare to do or offend? After all, they had even exterminated the Yu Shang clan.

"I am a Heavenly Venerate, having reforged my body after a rebirth. Even if you are a Great Saint, you must grovel and coil yourself up. If you don't want to die, crawl over here and present the mark of that clan," Yuan Feng said coldly. However, despite his domineering stance, he grew increasingly uneasy. Could it be that Yuan Ling truly died at the hands of this youth?

Not likely.

He thought that even if Yuan Ling was defeated in the Saint realm, he could still erupt, display his Divine King might, and crush this youth.

But what about Yuan Ling? How did he disappear? And there were no signs of a Divine King's eruption; no traces were left behind.

"I don't care if you're a Heavenly Venerate or not. Since you want to attack me, I'll slaughter you!" Chu Feng declared, his entire body glowing as he began to circulate his breathing technique.

Once the complete Robbery-Inducing Breathing Technique was unleashed, it filled him with immense confidence. He felt truly powerful; from his blood to his internal organs and even his soul light, his energy was incredibly abundant.

In a trance, he felt he could capture dragons with a raise of his hand and crush immortal phoenixes with a turn of his palm. This illusion, this arrogance, made him feel he needed to restrain himself and not get so carried away.

However, the Robbery-Inducing Breathing Technique was truly powerful; it simply instilled confidence.

"Audacious! How dare you be so arrogant!" Yuan Feng bellowed. At first, he was still mindful of his status, but then he remembered there was no one else here, and his gaze turned cold. He said, "What are you? Even your ancestors, upon reaching the Divine King or even Heavenly Venerate realm, would still be nothing more than servants before us."

"I'll kill you!" Chu Feng said coldly.

Yuan Feng waved his hand and continued, "A chaotic era is approaching, and juniors with good potential like you will also have certain opportunities. Some great clans from beyond the realm are willing to take so-called Great Saints like you as servants. I'll give you one last chance today: join my Yuan family. I'll give you a spot as a guard and treat you courteously; perhaps even let you be a live-in son-in-law later. Otherwise, when the chaotic era arrives, those without heritage or background—especially you, with your connection to the Yu Shang clan—will have no escape, neither in heaven nor on earth. Who knows how many powerful beings will return? They are destined to settle scores with the so-called descendants of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Settle scores with the Heavenly Emperor's descendants?" Chu Feng's gaze was profound. This news was truly astonishing.

"Indeed," Yuan Feng nodded.

"Come here, let your grandpa Chu teach you a lesson! The Yuan family is nothing special. You were losers when you contended with the Emperor back then, and now your trouble is even greater because you've provoked Chu the Ultimate; your clan will suffer an even more tragic fate!" Chu Feng roared.

"Presumptuous! You're just a lowly servant! You'll never reach the end of the evolutionary path in this lifetime!" Yuan Feng reprimanded, already making his move.

A small silver bell flew out, its strange chime seeming to tear at one's soul light. This was the infamous Soul-Severing Bell; once it chimed, no matter how many cultivators were on the battlefield, their soul light would shatter.

This was a powerful killing weapon that ordinary people couldn't forge; it had to be mixed with a portion of mother gold.

This kind of weapon had the potential to become a treasure.

However, as a Great Saint, Chu Feng naturally possessed extraordinary means.

Furthermore, he was now circulating his supreme breathing technique, causing golden light to emerge and bloom from his body. He seemed to be standing within a blazing sun, expanding a mass of light composed of special symbols.

The bell's waves were all blocked; he seemed invulnerable to all techniques.

Chu Feng stood within the ball of light, sacred and resplendent.

Moreover, at this moment, he showed an unusual expression, his Fiery Golden Eyes glowing brightly. In his eyes, Yuan Feng's movements were simply too slow, like an old ox pulling a cart.

"My consciousness, my thoughts, my perception have all surpassed what they were before by a large margin. This is due to the evolution of my Golden Eyes. I just don't know if my attack speed and other actions can keep up with my perception," Chu Feng thought, his heart burning with fervor.

As he thought these things, he already acted, his body like a shooting star streaking across the sky. Extending his limbs, agile and powerful, he charged forward.

His speed was incredibly fast, like a humanoid lightning bolt that had flashed through the void from ancient times, illuminating the heavens of past and present, and arriving in this era.

However, Chu Feng felt his body was under too much strain at this moment, almost as if it were tearing apart.

This startled him. He had just made a move, and it was already like this? How could this be?

Soon, he understood: his body's speed was too fast, beyond common sense. It could be said that a Great Saint already represented the apex of this realm, and he was now striving to find the extreme point within it.

His speed kept pace with his perception and caught up with his consciousness, reaching an incredible degree that even a Great Saint would theoretically find difficult to achieve.

Therefore, such an attack led to an excessive burden on his body.

But such power was also extremely terrifying. He threw a punch, and with the bonus of this speed combined with the significant increase in his strength, it was enough to shake this realm.

Yuan Feng could not dodge; the first punch struck his face, splattering blood and twisting his features as blood flew from his mouth.

Chu Feng's fist glowed, as if cast from gold. Like swinging a sun, he smashed it forward.

This was the second punch, fierce, accurate, and incredibly sharp, like the light of the Heavenly Dao crashing down, capable of slaying all things.

"You..." Yuan Feng's pupils constricted.

"I am just this invincible!" Chu Feng declared, looking down disdainfully.
