Chapter 1399: Stone Jar Resonance

The golden-haired woman raised her hand, lifting the gleaming sword embryo. Its tip glowed a dreadful red, dripping blood and humming. With a loud boom, she swung her hand and cleaved downwards.

Countless Zen chants and celestial scripture recitations erupted simultaneously.

Heaven and earth shook violently, the starry sky dimmed, and the entire world seemed to approach its end. Even the firelight in the stone furnace briefly flickered, as if on the verge of extinction.

Their armor was exceedingly powerful, and coupled with the eruption of the Innate Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Demonic Domain, it briefly affected the Bagua diagram.

With a sharp crack, the golden-haired woman, like a bolt of golden lightning, sliced through the light screen. Merging with her sword, she surged into the Bagua diagram, directly charging her opponent.

"Hmph, is that all? Who can stop our advance? With five great god-kings attacking to slay all gods under heaven, who can resist? Who can block our path?!" Outside, one of the other four spoke coldly.

However, their expressions shifted slightly when they rushed forward, only to be blocked once again by the Bagua diagram's light screen, preventing their entry!

"Quick, let's join forces again! We must get in; An Miao is certainly in danger!" the others shouted.

The golden-haired woman, An Miao, had already entered ahead of them, facing that dangerous man alone, which made them uneasy.

In fact, as soon as the golden-haired woman burst in, she immediately engaged Chu Feng in fierce, violent combat. With a swift raise of her hand, her gleaming sword embryo slashed through the void!

In an instant, the two had already clashed thousands of times. Sword light, like a rainbow, shot towards the light screen, resembling boundless starlight blooming and streaking across the universe.

At this moment, Chu Feng was utterly ruthless. Earlier, this woman had been the first to attack him, ambushing him when he was unable to easily get up, causing him to cough blood.

Now, he wouldn't miss this opportunity. Since she dared to enter alone, he would eliminate her first.

However, the problem was that the woman's armor was incredibly tough; even the Vajra bracelet only managed to dent its plates, not destroy them.

"Sword Embryo, transform into Buddha!" the golden-haired woman cried.

As the sword embryo in her hand dripped blood, deafening Buddhist chants erupted, as if threatening to shatter heaven and earth. Scriptures swirled, inscribed in the void, aiming not only to break through all enemy defenses but also to directly suppress them with their power.

"Go!"

Chu Feng hurled the stone jar like a weapon.

The opponent possessed special armor, but he also had an artifact beyond ordinary imagination. The ancient stone jar, when thrown, dulled the brilliance of the sword embryo.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't unraveled the stone jar's secret. Unable to activate its full potential or unleash its supreme power, he was currently using it merely as a "brick," for brute force attacks.

For a moment, both the Vajra bracelet and the stone jar became heavy weapons, continuously striking the woman.

They fought fiercely. The golden-haired woman's face was grim; even with her special armor, she found it difficult to defeat this man, making her both wary and anxious.

"Kill!"

Chu Feng held nothing back. Golden symbols appeared between his hands, which seemed to transform into a pair of golden millstones. Holding the main body of the stone jar in one hand and its lid in the other, he smashed them forward, overwhelming his opponent.

"Hmm?!" Chu Feng was startled. The stone jar seemed to be stimulated, emitting golden symbols of its own.

Chu Feng had first seen these symbols on a stone millstone in the Bright Dead City within the Land of Reincarnation.

Later, he discovered that the stone jar also contained these symbols, and in a more comprehensive form.

Now, as he attacked, manifesting the stone millstone runes with his hands, they unexpectedly resonated with the stone jar.

The woman groaned and was sent flying. Her armor had been pierced, and a large number of plates scattered.

Chu Feng launched a punch that doubled her over like a shrimp. She coughed up blood and was sent flying.

Chu Feng followed up with an aerial kick, aiming for her pale, beautiful face.

The golden-haired woman dodged with extreme speed, runes filling the sky. She employed a powerful divine ability to quickly escape, but the space within the Bagua diagram was limited; where could she hide?

Chu Feng caught up to her, stomping a foot on her shoulder, causing a snapping sound as her shoulder blade fractured.

Pain contorted the golden-haired woman An Miao's exquisite face; it was truly bone-deep agony.

Yet, she refused to yield.

Her entire body erupted with divine light, especially her armor, which seemed to ignite. Buddhist radiance shone everywhere, and Buddhist blood splattered. She performed a wondrous technique: crimson feathers appeared all over her body, and countless divine chains of order shot out, attempting to pierce Chu Feng.

This was a secret technique of the Phoenix Clan!

She was not an immortal phoenix; rather, her clan had guarded the borderlands of the Yang realm for years, collecting numerous wondrous techniques.

Unfortunately, while the strike was powerful, its effect was poor. Chu Feng unleashed his Seven Treasures Divine Art at that moment, sending her flying backward, covered in blood. All the divine chains of order snapped, like a phoenix's broken feathers, and she tumbled through the air.

"You are nothing special!"

Chu Feng's cold voice echoed. His hands traced unknown trajectories, slowly restraining the golden-haired woman, who floated, confined, in mid-air.

As Chu Feng delivered killing blows, armor plates on the golden-haired woman's body glowed, and she trembled violently. She continuously coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, her face pale.

"Are you wearing armor refined from the shed shell of a turtle with a billion years of cultivation?" Chu Feng asked, displeased. He found it surprisingly difficult to cleave this armor; it was simply too sturdy.

He suddenly hurled the Vajra bracelet, simultaneously smashing the stone jar. Both were heavy blows, slamming into the golden-haired woman's body.

Armor plates flew off, and Buddhist blood splattered. Even with the protection of Buddhist light and a towering Buddha before her, she could not withstand the onslaught. Countless bones in her body shattered from the impact.

"An Miao!"

From behind, someone cried out. The four great god-kings, even united, had not yet fully broken through the light screen. They had only managed to tear a corner, unable to rush in immediately.

"You're too weak!" Chu Feng said with disdain.

The golden-haired woman instantly flushed with humiliation and rage upon hearing this. She was a great god-king; how many could so openly disdain her and declare her too weak?

Yet, the man before her was indeed absurdly powerful, having severely wounded her!

And not long ago, when she ambushed him, she had mocked him, calling him weak. Now, everything had completely reversed.

Chu Feng's continuous bombardment made the golden-haired woman shriek. Parts of her armor were shattered, exposing her right arm, and the burning firelight caused her unbearable pain.

At that moment, Chu Feng darted forward like a bolt of lightning. Exerting force through the cracks in her armor, he ripped off her entire snow-white left arm with a gruesome tearing sound, a bloody and terrifying sight.

"An Miao, retreat! We're coming!"

From behind, someone roared. The silver-haired man was the first to charge in, wielding a heavy, black halberd—dark, chilling, and utterly terrifying.

The golden-haired woman stumbled backward, while the other three outside swiftly rushed towards the crack.

However, to their surprise, as Chu Feng retreated, the entire light screen followed, causing them to lunge into empty space, and the crack slowly began to close.

The Bagua diagram seemed to merge with Chu Feng, moving with his every step.

"A substitute, eh? No matter, I'll deal with you first!" Chu Feng said coolly, his gaze fixed on the silver-haired man who had just burst in.

"This is bad!" The three outside were startled. They hadn't managed to get in, and the golden-haired woman An Miao was already severely wounded. Could the silver-haired man alone withstand that dangerous human expert?

"Great Halberd, you who have drunk even the blood of celestial immortals, today, by sacrificing the soul-blood of my clan, I implore you to awaken and slay this fiend!"

The silver-haired man who had charged in chanted softly, as if performing a ritual, using a special method to activate the halberd and make it actively attack the enemy.

The golden-haired woman An Miao, behind him, had almost lost her combat ability and could only rely on him.

Boom!

Like an ink dragon awakening, the black halberd erupted, and several figures of Heavenly Venerables emerged. The momentum was terrifying, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, crushing down towards Chu Feng.

"Buzz!"

Golden runes flickered as Chu Feng's palm glowed. He once again activated a line of mysterious text, resonating with the stone jar.

"Receive!" Chu Feng roared, aiming the stone jar at the halberd.

When the black halberd cleaved down, it vanished directly into the stone jar. With a thud, Chu Feng sealed the lid, blocking all energy signatures.

Just like that... it was over?!

The halberd was gone, and the silver-haired man lost his connection to it!

"How is that possible?!" the silver-haired man cried out.

Not only him, but the other four great god-kings also turned pale, finding it utterly unbelievable. What was the origin of that stone jar? It could even absorb weapons imbued with Buddhist and celestial immortal blood!

"Without this special weapon, let's see what you can do now!" Chu Feng roared.

He charged forward, unleashing a full-force attack!

This was almost a re-enactment of the battle with the golden-haired woman. Although fierce, the outcome was predetermined. The silver-haired man was ultimately sent flying, spitting blood from his mouth, severely wounded.

"Open for me!"

The three great god-kings outside shouted, bombarding the Bagua diagram with all their might, desperate to break in. However, with only three of them performing the Innate Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Demonic Domain, it was insufficient, and they struggled to succeed immediately.

"Ah..."

At that moment, the silver-haired man screamed in agony. Chu Feng, swift as golden lightning, launched dominant attacks, giving him no time to recover, immediately delivering fatal blows.

Several consecutive strikes, all from the stone jar, inflicted severe wounds. His armor dimmed, and plates flew off.

Not far away, the heavily wounded golden-haired woman in the Bagua diagram also groaned. She was sacrificing her sword, attempting to attack again, but was struck by the Vajra bracelet, sending her flying sideways, covered in blood, her body nearly bursting apart.

An ordinary god-king would have long since exploded, but her extraordinary strength and armor protection kept her alive.

"No!"

At that moment, the silver-haired man shrieked as Chu Feng stripped off his armor and delivered a fatal blow.

He lost an arm, then his lower body separated. Subsequently, a punch to his forehead caused him to disintegrate in a burst of fire, turning into ash.

It was a truly horrific death!

A great god-king was thus annihilated, body and spirit alike.

The golden-haired woman An Miao witnessed all of this, her eyes nearly bursting with rage, yet she was powerless to change or stop anything; she could barely protect herself.

The human she had earlier underestimated had just killed her companion right before her eyes. It was utterly terrifying, and now it might be her turn.

"Open for me!"

The three outside continued their bombardment, desperate to enter the Bagua diagram.

Chu Feng gave them a cold glance, then advanced towards the golden-haired woman.

"Kill!"

The golden-haired woman, like a trapped beast, fought desperately.

But Chu Feng gave her no chance, unleashing fatal blows with full force, piercing her through as blood flowed from her body.

Her armor was torn away, her body riddled with wounds, pierced through from front to back, blood gushing out.

Chu Feng suddenly raised his hand, seizing the golden-haired woman in mid-air and restraining her. Then, grasping her pale neck, he twisted it abruptly, and with a snap, directly broke it.

Simultaneously, firelight surged, engulfing the golden-haired woman. She shrieked piercingly; without her armor's protection, she was utterly defenseless against the energy within.

Her entire body was consumed by the flames, turning into ash, her body and spirit utterly annihilated.

"No! Humans, you rebels of the Yang realm, how dare you kill a noble lady who guards the world's end?! You are dead!"

The three outside screamed frantically, but to Chu Feng's ears, their cries were nothing more than the barking of dogs.

"Hmm, what's happening? Is he getting stronger?!"

At this moment, Chu Feng was undergoing an astonishing transformation. After killing two great god-kings, the Bagua diagram grew even more brilliant. A certain balance had been broken again; he was actually being nourished by the fire of endless life. His entire body was infused with special golden runes, silver symbols, and other marks, as his body was bathed in the light of the Great Dao.

Was this the fire of nirvana?

He felt himself being tempered, growing stronger.

"It's An Miao and their cultivation! It's the essence of their beings, their insights, and their fortunes, all becoming nourishment to sustain him!"

The three outside cried out in alarm.

Was this the immortal Bagua Furnace? It could actually do such a thing!

Chu Feng was growing stronger. He was already a great god-king, and now he was even more terrifying.

"He isn't going to become that legendary monster, is he?!" The trio's faces turned extremely grim, even showing fear as they recalled that ancient legend.
