Chapter 1393: Sweeping the Heroes

The hearts of the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerables were bleeding. Several rising stars of their family, in the prime of their lives, the youngest and most vibrant Divine Kings, had just been utterly annihilated?

Indeed, it was an overwhelming defeat, an obliteration!

A snow-white, perfectly round Vajra Ring appeared, engulfed them all, and melted them into puddles of ash, their fate utterly tragic!

They were the elites of the Yuan clan, the finest talents of their generation, yet under Zhou Zhengde, they couldn't even last a single move, forcefully subdued and killed by the Vajra Ring.

The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable's vision blurred. He was of very high seniority, and to sneak-attack that Divine King-level domain genius from behind was already a contemptible act, but the outcome was his own kin being slaughtered in retaliation.

This was a classic case of trying to gain something but losing even more.

Everyone was stunned, then chilled to the bone, once again reassessing the young man's power.

The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable roared, activating his Magnetic Marrow Bell and sending it crashing forward. His eyes bloodshot, he was completely committed; if he couldn't kill Zhou Zhengde today, he would become a joke.

Earlier, he had repeatedly threatened to kill Zhou Zhengde, but the Xuanhuang clan's continuous protection of the young man had prevented him from succeeding.

It now seemed that the young man's previous silence, his refusal to engage them fiercely, wasn't fear but contempt. Like a dormant true dragon, he hadn't flaunted his power, only now unleashing it to forcefully eliminate his enemies.

The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable roared, "Brother Mo, attack! He's so young; will you let him grow even stronger, his vital energy surging like a sea, and then come after you? Our vital energies will soon wane."

He allied with the Mo family's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable to kill Chu Feng together, a truly shameless act. Two ancient experts, who had delved into the Heavenly Venerable realm and lived for countless years, were combining forces to attack and kill a single Divine King.

In fact, there was no need for further words. The Mo family's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable had already activated their Magnetic Marrow Mountain, sending it crashing forward. Dark light swirled, turning the entire sky black, like an impending tempest with ominous clouds obscuring the heavens.

Chu Feng snorted coldly, largely unconcerned. As a Great Divine King, hardened by countless trials, he truly had no fear of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables now!

In an instant, his entire body became crystalline and radiant, like a divine being. Amidst the blooming light, he shone as if forged from gold, his Human King vital energy surging forth, covering all.

At this moment, his every movement was like that of an immortal or a demon of war, seemingly invincible, causing the vast primordial energy to resonate with him.

Golden vital energy now surged skyward, tearing through the dark light and obscuring shadows, causing the very order of heaven and earth to resonate with him. Golden divine chains wove around him like phoenix plumes, rending the void.

The bell's tolling was deafening. The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable's Magnetic Marrow Bell swelled immensely, like an ancient divine mountain reawakening. Its colossal black form seemed to fill and press down upon the entire world.

Now, the bell's roar reverberated throughout the forbidden zone, shaking the grand mountains and rivers, causing the rules of the void to manifest and the symbols of the Great Dao to emerge.

The domain treasure, the Magnetic Marrow Bell, fully activated, began to draw upon the power of the mountains and rivers, aiming to harness the domain runes within the forbidden zone to kill Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn't hesitate. He opened his mouth and spewed forth a stream of runes, like nine layers of immortal flames, a burst of his essence that fueled the Vajra Ring, allowing it to directly clash.

In the sky, various runes of order descended, dense and numerous, like a deluge of stars from across the heavens, engulfing the Vajra Ring.

Yet, at this moment, the Vajra Ring was supremely extraordinary. Suns and moons appeared on its snow-white band, stars adorned it, black holes rotated, and crimson patterns spread across its surface.

It was forged from Skyblood Mother Gold, Starlight Mother Gold, and the primordial Mother Gold Chu Feng acquired from Earth's Kunlun, which could blend with all other Mother Golds.

Now, it possessed the properties of all the Mother Golds it could integrate, as if striking down from beyond the thirty-three heavens. A vast and boundless Daoist resonance deafened all within the forbidden zone.

*Boom!*

All sorts of domain symbols were astonishingly shattered by it, their defensive barriers ripped apart. With a resounding *dong*, it slammed into the Magnetic Marrow Bell.

*Clang, clang, clang…*

Amidst the soul-stirring chimes, the great bell, radiating dark light, rapidly dimmed. The endless runes it projected were disintegrating, all being torn apart by the Vajra Ring.

The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable gasped in shock. This was truly astonishing; the Magnetic Marrow Bell in his hand was a treasure among treasures, exceedingly rare.

Yet now, the Magnetic Marrow Bell was dim, and various Great Dao runes were being forcibly torn open? If the Vajra Ring were to strike its core, it would likely shatter!

At this critical juncture, the Mo family elder came to the rescue. The dark Magnetic Marrow Mountain he summoned crashed down, like the primordial mountain of creation collapsing, threatening to crush all matter.

The Vajra Ring roared, spun violently, and slammed directly into the Magnetic Marrow Mountain.

With a series of impacts, the Magnetic Marrow Mountain dimmed, its various domain runes being ripped apart, and it, too, was on the verge of being struck.

"This..." Both the Yuan clan and the Human King Mo family were utterly shocked. The opponent's armlet was simply too defying of heaven's will; it had actually overcome two magnetic marrow treasures!

It was well known that magnetic marrow weapons typically specialized in countering metallic armaments, capable of instantly seizing them and, with a mere flick of magnetic light, transforming metal treasures of the Five Elements into worthless scrap.

Yet today, the opponent's Vajra Ring was terrifyingly potent, poised to reverse the dynamic and destroy the magnetic marrow treasures.

"Kill!"

The two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables roared, shamelessly disregarding public opinion, and launched a combined assault, each employing their strongest techniques to kill the young man before them.

Fearing the destruction of their magnetic marrow treasures, they desperately resorted to sinister tactics, unleashing Soul-Blood Sword Embryos. These weapons, upon contact with an opponent's blood and soul, could dissolve their spirit, transforming them into mindless husks.

Simultaneously, they each summoned dark nets and human-skin scrolls, all forged by infusing vast quantities of souls, making them exceedingly vicious.

These were all forbidden arts, scorned by all, as their creation involved heinous and incredibly cruel methods, requiring the slaughter of millions of beings to refine their blood and souls.

These were soul weapons, designed to destroy the very soul light!

Chu Feng's eyes gleamed with cold light, then erupted with dazzling golden lightning. As his arms moved, their trajectories were terrifying, imbued with profound traces of the Dao, as if he was wielding heaven and earth itself. His energy was so overwhelming that the void shrieked, seemingly on the verge of rupturing.

A colossal explosion erupted as he unleashed the Buddhist Great Sun Tathagata Fist, truly resembling an immortal Great Buddha descending to the mortal realm to subdue all fiends and demons.

With his bare hands, he shattered the crimson sword embryo, directly pulverizing it into dozens of bloody fragments.

The Yuan clan and Mo family's Quasi-Heavenly Venerables' expressions instantly shifted, and they quickly evaded. Even they feared being struck by the fragments of the Soul-Blood Sword Embryo, knowing that contact would dissolve their own soul light.

"Summon myriad evils, annihilate him!"

They roared in unison.

A vast black net enveloped the sky, covering the cosmos and trapping Chu Feng beneath it. Simultaneously, a human-skin scroll materialized, seemingly bearing billions of souls, howling and whistling as it lunged forward.

Chu Feng's surging golden vital energy was compressed and recoiled. Even his Great Sun Tathagata Fist dimmed, as if a sacred Great Buddha was surrounded by darkness and malevolent spirits, on the verge of being devoured.

After all, these were two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, each capable of annihilating legions of Divine Kings.

Even a Great Divine King might suffer greatly when facing two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables who employed forbidden arts and malicious artifacts.

However, Chu Feng's might surpassed all expectations. As the Buddhist radiance dimmed, he let out a low roar, white mist billowed from his mouth and nose, and the golden blood within him surged once more.

He activated his Dao Breathing Technique and unleashed the true Seven Treasures Divine Art!

The Seven Treasures Divine Art was now complete, and Chu Feng had absorbed four of the most potent rare materials in the world: Reincarnation Soil, Mother Gold Liquid Pool...

The energies of earth, metal, water, and yin attributes—four celestial treasures in total—had merged with the Seven Treasures Divine Art, causing its power to surge to an unfathomable level.

Now, when Chu Feng unleashed it, it was as if four sword embryos resonated in unison, capable of slaying true immortals and even Great Buddhas. They were truly invincible; once the four brilliant beams of light surged forth, nothing could stand in their way.

The so-called black net, though forged from boundless soul light and infused with the resentment and soul power of millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of evolvers, was now utterly severed.

Four sword embryos streaked across the sky, destroying everything. The black net was sliced open, scattering soul light, and causing vengeful spirits to wail. Then, with a searing sound, they combusted, turning into ash and dust.

"Ah..."

The Yuan clan's elder clutched his chest in agony. That was his forbidden artifact, a treasure he had refined from the blood and souls of countless evolvers. And it had just been torn asunder by bare hands?

On the other side, the human-skin scroll emitted a soft rustle as it was pierced by the four sword embryos formed from the Seven Treasures Divine Art. With a violent twist, the human skin shredded, soul light scattered, and wails echoed across the lands, as if billions of souls were released, only to return to dust, melting under the brilliant Seven Treasures Divine Art and finding their release.

"Ah..."

The Mo family elder screamed in anguish. This was his most cherished possession, his malicious secret treasure, utterly destroyed by bare hands.

"It's the Seven Treasures Divine Art, the Ashen-Immortal clan's foundational technique, ranked tenth among the ten great arts of all time! He actually mastered it, and to such a degree of power, it defies all reason!"

Someone exclaimed in awe, their voice trembling.

Even the Ashen-Immortal clan themselves likely couldn't wield the Seven Treasures Divine Art to such a degree; its power was simply too terrifying.

Many realized that Zhou Zhengde must have gathered unimaginable celestial and terrestrial treasures, perfectly matching the seven attributes of the Seven Treasures Divine Art, thus enabling him to unleash such world-shaking divine power.

Further away, even the Heavenly Immortal clan members were dumbfounded. Given their close blood ties with the Ashen-Immortal clan, they naturally recognized the Seven Treasures Divine Art.

"This level of divine art, if cultivated further, and if he gathers the remaining three celestial treasures, will be comparable to the Time Art and the Chaotic Tribulation Melody, which rank among the top three!"

Upon hearing Sheng Yuxian's words, Jiang Luoshen was stunned, her expression growing increasingly peculiar as she stared intently at Zhou Zhengde.

*Boom!*

Concurrently, the clash of secret treasures in the sky also reached a conclusion. The Vajra Ring proved overwhelmingly powerful, shaking both the Magnetic Marrow Bell and the Magnetic Marrow Mountain until they nearly cracked. They trembled ceaselessly, tumbling through the air, causing the void to roar and large black spatial fissures to continually spread.

The two magnetic marrow treasures dimmed, their dark light fading, and all their domain symbols were extinguished and utterly destroyed by the Vajra Ring's impacts. Only then did they plummet to the ground.

"Seize!"

Chu Feng lightly commanded. The interior of the Vajra Ring instantly became pitch black, transforming into a black hole that sucked in the two magnetic marrow treasures, drawing them into its dark space.

The Mo and Yuan clan members cried out in alarm. Those were rare treasures, refined from magnetic marrow mountains and unique in the world. How could they simply be lost?

But it was already too late to intervene; Chu Feng had completely seized them.

This time, Chu Feng hadn't aimed to destroy the Magnetic Marrow Mountain with the Vajra Ring, but rather to claim it for himself.

"You..."

Both clans were startled and enraged, simultaneously gripped by fear.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Chu Feng had no reason to hesitate. Like a true dragon forged from golden lightning, he shot across the sky, striking at the two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

He continuously broke through their defenses, seized the magnetic marrow treasures, severed their forbidden artifacts, and his true form closed in on the two experts.

In the fierce clash, amidst splattering blood and a soft tearing sound, Chu Feng ripped off the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable's left forearm.

The Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable grunted, his hair disheveled, half his body drenched in blood. He was consumed by shame and fury, a profound sense of humiliation.

Earlier, he had repeatedly asserted the Yuan clan's might, declaring he would slay Zhou Zhengde. Yet now, he had an arm ripped off and was severely wounded.

"What 'you'!" Chu Feng roared. With a display of the Seven Treasures Divine Art, four brilliant beams of light shot forth, this time not forming sword embryos but instead binding his opponent.

He instantly appeared, delivering a resounding slap that clearly echoed. It grotesquely twisted half the face of the Yuan clan's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, who was restrained in the void. Teeth, mingled with blood, flew far from his mouth, and he himself plummeted to the ground.

"This..." The Yuan clan members in the rear, particularly the surviving Divine Kings, instantly had their eyes turn crimson. Their clan's esteemed elder had been humiliated; their faces burned with shame. This was an unprecedented disgrace.

Simultaneously, Chu Feng exchanged blows with the Mo family's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. After only a few strikes, an exceptionally domineering fist print tore through the Human King Mo family's Quasi-Heavenly Venerable's chest, splattering blood.

"Kill him, together!"

Neither the Yuan nor the Mo clan's surviving young Divine Kings could tolerate it any longer. They unleashed grand banners and various special secret treasures.

They encircled Chu Feng, attempting to aid their clan's esteemed elders.

However, they were simply not on the same level. Chu Feng, a Great Divine King, was an insurmountable force for them. The Vajra Ring spun, sweeping outward.

Instantly, a chorus of screams erupted as several Divine Kings were pulverized into bloody mists on the spot, one clump after another.

"Suppress!"

In the distance, the Mo family's enigmatic young man, a master rumored to be an ancient sage, made his move. As he summoned a replica of the purple-gold Human King Furnace, he too moved, intent on striking Chu Feng down.

"No, Ancestor, you are unwell and unfit to act! Flee quickly, and avenge us later!" the Mo family's Human King Quasi-Heavenly Venerable howled through his soul light.

Then, he furiously attacked Chu Feng.

At this moment, Chu Feng was ruthless and cold. He unleashed a massacre, sending the Vajra Ring across the sky. With a crash, it collided with the purple-gold Human King Furnace, blocking the powerful treasure.

Meanwhile, he himself continued to harvest the lives of Divine Kings, delivering fatal blows to the two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

With muffled impacts, the shoulders of both the Yuan and Mo clan Quasi-Heavenly Venerables exploded, their arms severed. Chu Feng then restrained and captured them alive.

"You two, with your meager strength, dared to boast of killing me?!"

Chu Feng spoke coldly. With a cracking sound, he twisted the necks of the two Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, causing their bodies to convulse and tremble uncontrollably.

Their soul lights persisted, unable to escape, held captive by Chu Feng within their broken forms.

Chu Feng looked towards the mysterious young man, intending to kill him.

This shocked everyone!

"Ancestor, use a secret art, flee quickly!" the Mo family's Human King Quasi-Heavenly Venerable howled through his soul light.

"You are all mere chickens and dogs; how dare you vie with me?!" Chu Feng said coldly.

At this very moment, both the Heavenly Immortal clan and the Dao clan members, observing from afar, were utterly stunned.

The Xuanhuang Human King clan was also inexplicably awestruck. They had long discerned that the young man was a Human King, possessing the strongest bloodline among humanity. Which royal clan did he hail from? That golden blood was too terrifying, far surpassing ordinary Human King blood!

The silver-haired youth of the Xuanhuang Human King clan, in particular, found his emotions incredibly complex at this moment. Earlier, he had maintained a cool, somewhat aloof demeanor, but now he realized that such a person hardly needed his protection.
