Chapter 310: The Final Battle

The silver substance is an unpredictable variable; no one can foresee its future. It has been linked to terrifying incidents where saints perished, yet it can also facilitate the further evolution of Bodhisattvas. Its nature is truly beyond prediction.

This is primarily because it involves extremely high levels and contains terrifying secrets. Those privy to these secrets dare not reveal them, fearing the annihilation of their entire clan or even the destruction of a stellar world.

It is important to note that current rumors and legends about the silver substance are documented and circulated only within the ten most powerful worlds. Outsiders find it exceedingly difficult to learn about them.

The ten most powerful worlds have remained constant since ancient times!

The emergence of the silver substance within Chu Feng's body is an accident, yet it represents both a profound secret crisis and a fortuitous encounter. If mishandled, it could attract the attention of the ten most powerful worlds.

At that point, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Boss, you're truly incredible," remarked Clairvoyant Du Huaijin, who immediately contacted Chu Feng. It was late at night, and he was deeply excited. "Everyone outside said you were crippled, yet in a casual conversation, you had two powerful experts who had broken six shackles eliminated. This truly terrified many people."

Next, the Big Black Ox called him, laughing heartily and feeling immensely satisfied. "Brother, what a thrill!" exclaimed the Big Black Ox. "The people who ambushed us were dealt with by peerless masters you summoned with just a single word! Haha, what a relief!"

"That carp demon tasted good," the Northeast Tiger added. "We even went to the Yellow River just to try it." The Northeast Tiger, Donkey King, and Golden Condor King were all satisfied. They had originally felt deeply aggrieved, having been ambushed mid-journey and nearly killed by a sudden sneak attack from an expert. As a result, it wasn't long before their brother had people take action, and their great revenge was avenged. The efficiency was astonishing!

The outside world was already in an uproar; this incident had a profound impact. By this time, evolutionaries in both the East and the West knew that Chu Feng, in a fit of rage, had enlisted peerless experts from famous mountains across the land to eliminate the "culprits," causing a huge sensation.

The fact that someone thought to be crippled possessed such immense influence truly terrified many. For instance, some financial groups, who had once been intimidated by Chu Feng and paid a heavy price, originally thought their chance for revenge had come. Now, however, they witnessed an even more terrifying aspect of Chu Feng. In this battle, he didn't even need to step forward, yet the Yellow River carp demon was eliminated. This was truly shocking, and many people turned pale with fright. They could only be grateful that they had remained calm and hadn't acted rashly, realizing that the saying "a phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken" only describes limitations in very specific circumstances.

That night, no corner of the world was quiet; all major powers were seriously evaluating this incident.

Chu Feng ended his calls with his acquaintances and once again began to carefully examine the silver substance. Its lack of fixed properties and constant transformations truly astonished him. He had once again called the Yellow Ox, asking if the silver substance could transform at will. The Yellow Ox was dumbfounded. It explicitly told Chu Feng that the silver substance was extremely rare in ancient times and would not change again; it had never heard of a special case like Chu Feng's. Both the black and silver substances were extremely rare and precious. The latter, in particular, was even more terrifying as it involved the perishing of saints and the nirvana of Bodhisattvas. The Yellow Ox told him it had never heard of this substance having a dual nature; it usually became completely stable after mutation and would not continuously manifest in two different states.

"I think there might be a chance to break the sixth shackle," Chu Feng mused confidently, as the silver substance boiled within him, his body glowing, and even his hair turning silver. However, this state did not last stably or long enough, making it difficult for him to continue. To break the shackles with his peak power was not a matter of one or two hours; it could last for an entire night, or even one or two days. Currently, it was too unstable; when the black substance eroded, he would weaken to his lowest point, potentially even falling below the King-level realm.

"When I'm strongest, I'm invincible; when I'm weakest, I'll be in a terrible state," Chu Feng mused, frowning. He pondered and researched the substance all night, gradually uncovering its characteristics. He truly didn't know why this substance behaved in such a way, exhibiting two distinct sides within him.

At dawn, Chu Feng received a communication from the Yellow Ox. It spoke very seriously and earnestly: "Chu Feng, I've discovered something terrifying about this. That silver substance most likely caused the perishing of saints and somehow found its way to this world, meaning it has mutated again on top of its silver substance form!"

When Chu Feng heard this, he was dumbfounded. To be honest, he was getting a little sensitive to the word "substance." Black, silver, and then mutating again—was this meant to scare people to death? Was there no way for a person to live? Another mutation on top of the silver substance? Outsiders knew none of this, and he could only communicate with the Yellow Ox about it. What the future held, he didn't know, but Chu Feng vaguely felt that this substance would fundamentally change the trajectory of his life.

"Chu Feng, does he still want to live?" a voice boomed. "Summoning peerless experts? Does he even deserve it? He's just a cripple, not long for this world!"

While the outside world was abuzz and various factions couldn't rest, a piece of news exploded across all regions. Someone spoke out, directly targeting Chu Feng, declaring they had come to kill him. This was beyond everyone's expectations. Last night, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, the leader of Mount Hua, the two white cranes from the Shu Mountain Sword Palace, and the Mountain Tortoise, the leader of Kongtong, had just taken action, powerfully eliminating the Yellow River carp demon and the sea race expert, the Walrus. And now, this very morning, someone else had already stepped forward? In fact, as soon as this news was released, the battle erupted so quickly that people couldn't react. Even the Jade Pure Palace had no preparations whatsoever.

Heavy snow fell, and the world was dim; the sun had not been seen for several days. This morning, as snow mist drifted, the Golden Crow King launched a powerful attack, arriving in Shuntian and breaking into the Jade Pure Palace.

"Chu Feng, get out here!" roared the Golden Crow King. "Others might fear you, but I will kill you!"

The Golden Crow King was wreathed in fierce flames and dazzling light, burning the heavens and earth. The heavy snow turned to steam, and the vast expanse of silver-white transformed into a hazy mist. He arrived with overwhelming force, intending to kill Chu Feng. His feud with Chu Feng was no secret now; it originated because of the Peacock King. The Golden Crow King had previously traveled south with the Nine-Lives Cat King to kill Chu Feng but was counterattacked and suffered heavy losses.

Now that Chu Feng was "crippled," he launched a direct attack. This had a very negative impact. It happened immediately after Chu Feng gathered peerless experts to encircle and eliminate the Yellow River carp demon, making the timing chosen quite clever. The Golden Crow King aimed to tell the world that Chu Feng's so-called network of connections couldn't fully protect him, and that he, the Golden Crow King, could strike at any moment, take his life, and target him directly. If successful, it would be excellent; if he failed, it would still serve as an example, telling the outside world that so-called escort by peerless masters was meaningless and illusory, and that everything ultimately depended on oneself.

Entire sections of the Jade Pure Palace turned into a sea of fire and were burned to ashes. With just a single blow, the heavens and earth turned crimson, consumed by fire, a truly terrifying sight.

"How dare you act so brazenly here!" roared the Master of Jade Pure Palace, soaring into the sky and fiercely engaging in combat with the golden great bird. Immediately, raging flames surged and light scattered across the sky.

"Can you protect him for a moment, or can you protect him for a lifetime?" the Golden Crow King said coldly, flapping its golden wings and emanating overwhelming divine power. In the sky, a golden divine beast swooped down, colliding with the Master of Jade Pure Palace. Sparks flew everywhere, as if the firmament itself were exploding.

"Who dares to cause trouble here!?" exclaimed the one-armed Master of the Eight Scenic Palace, who appeared standing on a distant building.

Soon, dazzling five-colored divine light appeared, and the Peacock King arrived. This avian king, renowned as one of the ten greatest experts in the East, stood proudly in the air, radiating brilliance and dispelling the wind and snow. He was now incredibly handsome, with a flawless face, more beautiful than many women. He remained very calm, his long purple hair flowing in the wind as he stood proudly between heaven and earth.

"With this king here, who dares to be presumptuous!" the Peacock King said coldly.

Silently, the Master of the Biyou Palace appeared, a powerful aura permeating the air. However, from another direction, a mysterious powerful being approached, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the wind and snow to churn backward. He was terrifyingly boundless, pressing towards the Jade Pure Palace. For a time, both the Master of the Eight Scenic Palace and the Master of the Biyou Palace were held back, unable to advance.

"I will kill Chu Feng, who can stop me!?" the Golden Crow King roared, spraying forth essence of solar fire. It illuminated the heavens and earth, as if the sun, unseen for days, had suddenly emerged, lighting up the entire city of Shuntian. He was arrogant and domineering. Three great demon kings came to Shuntian, breaking into the capital city of a nation, intending to directly kill Chu Feng—a truly lawless act.

Chu Feng stood in the snow, quietly gazing at the sky, saying nothing. Because of him, such a huge commotion had been stirred up. In the sky, fierce fighting ensued. After the Golden Crow King released its solar fire essence, even the powerful Master of Jade Pure Palace could only evade its sharp edge, not daring to confront it directly. In fact, when Chu Feng fought the Golden Crow King that day, he also felt helpless against the solar fire essence and chose to evade it, as this substance could incinerate any living being on Earth. The other two Palace Masters were blocked by the Peacock King and another king, unable to advance.

"I want to say," the Golden Crow King snarled, "A crippled Chu Feng is not worth the protection of you three Palace Masters. You've already done your utmost in kindness and righteousness. Don't force yourselves to step forward and get yourselves involved. Be aware, there are more than just three kings here today!"

"Within the Jade Pure Palace, no one shall harm Chu Feng," roared the Master of Jade Pure Palace. Hearing this, everyone nodded, secretly praising the Master of Jade Pure Palace for his loyalty and righteousness.

"It's a pity the Palace Master doesn't have a peerless breathing technique," someone whispered, "Otherwise, how would the Golden Crow King and others dare to be so presumptuous!"

"If Brother Chu could teach his breathing technique to the Palace Master and the others, that would be great," another added. "That way, we could still stand at the peak, fearless of the foreign kings." Several young boys and girls whispered, glancing at Chu Feng. These were the very youths who had earlier asked Chu Feng to teach them martial arts.

"Today, we've come to kill Chu Feng, and we'll see it through!" declared a voice. "Masters of Jade Pure Palace, you cannot stop us!" Just then, a fourth king appeared, also a foreign species. It was a Pangolin King, its entire body gleaming, snow-white and shimmering with silver light, as it arrived through the air. Clearly, it stood with the Golden Crow King and the Peacock King, intending to eliminate Chu Feng and pressing forward with overwhelming force. At Jade Pure Palace, there was no fourth king, and the situation immediately became critical.

"Brother Chu, can you pass on the breathing technique to the Palace Masters, or else we're in danger!" a young boy cried out in panic.

"Brother Chu, I think we should suppress the foreign species' arrogance now; we shouldn't let them be presumptuous!" another young girl said, blinking her large eyes and looking at Chu Feng with hopeful anticipation.

Chu Feng remained silent, his emotions complex. It was the final moment, yet the youths were still mentioning the breathing technique. He could only sigh softly. Originally, he had wanted to use the Dragon-Locking Stakes to seal off an area, but now he didn't want to. Inside the Jade Pure Palace, many looked over. Many evolutionaries in Shuntian City, hearing the sounds of battle, also rushed over, all focusing on this place.

"You think I've fallen, and I'm easy to bully, do you?" Chu Feng said, looking up at the sky. "Then I'll fight one last battle with you."

Everyone was stunned. Hadn't he suffered a major physical problem? Could he still fight? Even the young boys and girls standing near Chu Feng were astonished.

"After this battle, I will leave the Jade Pure Palace," Chu Feng declared. "I will feed horses, chop wood, travel to famous mountains across the world, and become a free person from this moment on." His voice was not loud, but it carried very far. People were surprised, especially some from the Jade Pure Palace, who glanced sidelong and then turned to look at him.

Boom!

The next moment, dazzling silver light erupted from Chu Feng's entire body, and he actively charged at the Pangolin King.

*Rip!*

In an instant, with just a slight contact between them, Chu Feng, as if tearing apart a scarecrow, ripped the Pangolin King into two pieces. Blood splattered, scattering across the heavens and earth. The next moment, he soared into the air, his entire body covered in dazzling silver light, even his hair silvery-white. He ascended three or four *li* into the high sky and attacked the Golden Crow King.

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Intense collisions occurred; raging flames surged, and firelight blazed.

"How is this possible!?" the Golden Crow King exclaimed, shocked.

"This is my final power; once it's spent, I will retreat from the world!" Chu Feng declared. He grabbed the Golden Crow King, and with a *thump*, one of its golden wings was enveloped by silver light and ripped off.

"What?! He... still has the power to kill the Golden Crow King?!" a group of people inside the Jade Pure Palace exclaimed, stunned.

Chu Feng was peerlessly powerful. He ripped off the Golden Crow King's wing and fought fiercely with it amidst a rain of blood. In the end, the Golden Crow King couldn't even escape; it was stuck to him. Chu Feng tore the Golden Crow King's body, splitting it into two halves. Bathed in the Golden Crow King's blood, he did not rely on the Jade Pure Palace or outside protection, but single-handedly slew the invading powerful enemy.

At this moment, the heavens and earth fell silent!
