Chapter 378: Surprised and Amazed

In the forest, several people were squabbling, almost coming to blows. The roars of oxen, the growls of tigers, and the croaking of toads filled the air, creating a chaotic and lively scene.

This left viewers worldwide, fortunate enough to witness the live broadcast, utterly speechless. They couldn't believe what they were seeing, wondering if these were truly the peerless experts capable of slaying alien creatures.

Where was their composure? Where was their dignity?

These individuals, disagreeing at the slightest provocation, immediately started bickering. It seemed they weren't fighting over the tiger's penis anymore, but rather over its pair of kidneys.

Of course, once they actually unearthed the enormous kidneys, they instantly ceased their squabble. The kidneys were absurdly large; they could barbecue them daily and still have enough to eat for a very long time.

Some time after the alien tiger's death, its true form fully revealed itself. From its earlier length of ten meters, it suddenly swelled to a thousand meters.

With a creature that massive, how enormous must its kidneys be? The sight made the group dizzy.

"I think we could auction this off!" someone suggested.

Knowing there were various monitoring devices in the nearby mountains, they immediately began to advertise on the spot.

"Once in a millennium, truly one of a kind, a peerless tonic: the alien tiger's kidneys! This is a million times—no, even a billion times—more precious than lamb kidneys! Eat just one bite, and you'll never worry about kidney deficiency again for your entire life!"

They had no sense of integrity, shamelessly advertising in front of the entire world.

Not just the tiger's kidneys, but also its bones, hide, blood, and even its penis were all brought out, ready for sale.

Otherwise, with a thousand-meter-long fierce tiger, the sheer size of each body part was astonishing. Even if they ate until they vomited every day, they still couldn't consume it all.

Finally, after their advertising spree, they secretly acted, detonating all the detectors and other equipment in the mountains. They no longer wished to be monitored.

Afterward, they began skinning, deboning, and draining the blood, preparing the carcass.

For instance, about 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) of tiger kidneys, meat, and other parts were packed into Chu Feng's Jade Vase. After that, they stopped, not bothering to transport any more.

Next, they combined their efforts to refine the tiger's blood, a suggestion from the Yellow Ox. This alien fierce tiger possessed extraordinary lineage, with traces of its ancestor's true blood hidden within.

Just like with the Black Underworld Roc King, they could extract its essence, making it unnecessary to transport the entire amount.

From the thousand-meter-long tiger's body, they refined a small jar of special tiger blood. It glowed like a scorching sun, shimmering with silver light, and contained an extraordinary mysterious energy.

"This can be mixed with exotic fruits to refine medicine; it will be very useful later and can be called a treasure at this stage," the Yellow Ox said happily.

The Northeastern Tiger drooled excessively, sensing this substance would be of great benefit to it. It believed it might be able to uncover secrets from the true ancestral tiger blood, perhaps even undergoing a direct transformation.

Chu Feng promised to save half of the blood for it, aside from what was used for refining medicine.

Subsequently, the tiger bones were also refined, their essence extracted, leaving behind a large pile of dull, useless bones. All the valuable parts were taken.

Finally, they left the mountainous area.

Thus, the battle finally concluded, leaving behind a scene of devastation. The mangled tiger corpse shocked the outside world.

In the following days, the topic of the alien creature's arrival and its subsequent destruction by Chu Feng and his companions became a global sensation. People everywhere discussed it heatedly.

"That schemer really wasn't crippled after all; he's outrageously powerful and incredibly ferocious!"

The faces of top executives from major syndicates turned green with dismay. This battle confirmed that Chu Feng was indeed a cunning trap. "Who said he was crippled?" they wondered. "Even without relying on the domain, he's still a bottomless pit."

"Didn't you see? He even chopped up an alien!"

"Good thing two aliens came one after another to bear the brunt for us; otherwise, that scoundrel would surely have taken advantage of us!"

The syndicate members sighed with boundless emotion, secretly feeling relieved.

As soon as this incident broke, there was an uproar everywhere. Some wore long faces, some were shocked, and others were overjoyed.

"Demon King Chu is still defying the heavens; he never truly left!" some people said happily. These were individuals who had previously felt immense regret, sympathy, and sadness for Chu Feng, and now felt a huge weight lifted from their shoulders.

"The number one expert on land—this isn't just talk. He doesn't rely on domains; he is inherently invincible. The battle at Da Lin Temple on Mount Song is now undisputed; that roc bird did not die in vain!"

People everywhere were discussing it.

Even in the Arctic, the people from the Primordial Magnetic Immortal Cave were no exception; their expressions were far from pleasant. They had actually misjudged him.

Even Princess Lin's expression stiffened slightly. The domain researcher she thought she could control turned out to be a formidable expert, who had been lurking by their side all along.

"He's too insidious! I actually believed he was a useless person before. He turned out to be a swindler, mixing in with us all along, exploring famous mountains together. He was definitely planning a big move, trying to use us. Good thing he was exposed early!" someone exclaimed, feeling fortunate.

"No wonder! Even his mount, the toad, beat some of us into submission in the Qinling Mountains. We were no match for it."

Hearing this, Zhao Chong, who had once fought the toad for eight hundred rounds, found his face turning as dark as a pot bottom. He glared angrily at the person exposing his shortcomings, thinking, "There's no need to be so humiliating. How am I supposed to feel about this?!"

Upon learning the news, the sea tribes reacted differently. The Black Dragon clan of the South Sea was furious, having formed an irreconcilable blood feud with Chu Feng, as two of their princes had been killed one after another.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Lady of the East Sea lineage was overjoyed, feeling increasingly confident that cooperating with Chu Feng would be reliable. Perhaps they could truly enter the true dragon's lair within the sea eye.

Others also reacted differently, taking a long time to regain their composure.

For example, Jiang Luoshen, Lin Nuoyi, and the Master of Jade Purity Palace, among others.

"Brother Chu, you're too much! You're practically ascending to heaven! You clearly weren't crippled, yet you kept it from us!" Du Huaijin, Ye Qingrou, and others complained.

Hu Sheng and Xiong Kun were also dumbfounded. Then they let out a long sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that they had not only refrained from adding insult to injury to Chu Feng recently but had also remained "loyal companions."

The collaborators and forces who had sided with the alien creatures felt some apprehension, even fear. If Chu Feng were to find out, they would definitely face severe consequences.

Discussions were widespread everywhere.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng quietly disappeared for a day to see his parents. This time, he arranged for them to live in complete seclusion, ensuring they wouldn't emerge for a while.

He left behind tiger meat, exotic fruits, and other provisions, asking the old ape to help look after them.

The old ape also wanted to go into seclusion for a period. The death of the Black Underworld Roc King on Mount Song was not yet over, as there were still aliens from the same region beyond their domain who had not yet descended.

Beyond the domain, the news arrived instantly. In outer space, the golden-haired man with snow-white divine wings let out a low roar, then shattered an Earth-orbiting satellite; he was furious.

Their mere presence in space outside Earth was difficult enough, but descending to the surface was even more challenging.

Both the Black Underworld Roc King and the fierce tiger had succeeded, which was enough to astound and envy countless potential descenders, as ninety-nine percent of them would fail and perish.

They had succeeded, yet their end left people speechless: they were killed by Earth's natives, a frustrating and humiliating defeat.

This was truly difficult for them to accept, yet it was a fact they had to confront with wide eyes.

Just as people on Earth and in space were experiencing intense emotional turmoil and couldn't calm down, anomalies also occurred in the depths of the universe. A great battle was underway, and peace was no more!

Energy permeated the cosmos, seemingly heading towards Earth!

However, these events were still distant; at least for now, people couldn't perceive them.

Finally, Chu Feng reappeared, willing to stand openly to lure the aliens in space down, aiming to completely eliminate future troubles.

However, those individuals were very cautious and made no rash moves.

In Shuntian, Chu Feng returned, accompanied by the Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, the Big Black Ox, the Northeastern Tiger, the Old Donkey, and the Golden Condor.

"We can conquer the entire Eastern region in just an hour; shouldn't our group have a name?" the Big Black Ox asked. It suggested "Beast Legion," since their group included both birds and animals.

However, the others all wanted to punch it.

The Big Black Ox, not giving up, said, "I think it's great! When we eventually conquer the starry sea and venture into the depths of the universe, the Beast Legion is destined to be famous across myriad domains!"

"I think 'God and Demon Legion' would be better," said the Northeastern Tiger. "Chu Feng is a demon, and we might evolve into divine beasts in the future." It then specifically declared that the toad was excluded from this, as no matter how it evolved, it would never be considered a divine beast.

The toad was infuriated, shouting that only it was a true divine beast, and the rest of them were of low bloodline.

This provoked general outrage, and the group ganged up on it, beating the toad until its eyes rolled back, leaving it in a miserable state.

Upon returning to Shuntian, Chu Feng's first stop was the Jade Purity Palace, immediately causing chaos there. He was eventually informed that the Master of Jade Purity Palace was not present.

In reality, the Master of Jade Purity Palace had fled, uneasy in his heart, fearing that Chu Feng's appearance in Shuntian was meant to destroy him!

After the news spread, it caused an uproar in the outside world.

Many people discussed it, and a significant portion mocked the Master of Jade Purity Palace, saying, "If only you had known this would happen today, why act as you did back then?"

"Chu Feng, I'm so happy that you've recovered and are so powerful," said the old man Lu Tong. "I'm no longer anxious and can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

The old man Lu Tong was extremely pleased. After meeting again, he felt a huge weight lifted, as he had always felt indebted to Chu Feng and had nearly become depressed recently.

"Old man, don't stay in Jade Purity Palace anymore; come with me and be the chief steward of our legion," Chu Feng formally invited Lu Tong, essentially poaching him from Jade Purity Palace.

"What legion? What are its goals?" Lu Tong asked, surprised.

"The Beast Legion!"

"The God and Demon Legion!"

"The Saint Legion!"

These were the varying responses from the Big Black Ox, the Northeastern Tiger, and others; their answers were quite inconsistent.

The toad grinned widely and stated their objective: "We are about to conquer the starry sea, travel through the universe, set foot on the ten strongest ancient stars, and capture divine sons, celestial maidens, and saintesses along the way."

"Speak human language!" Lu Tong said.

"I'm a divine beast, so of course, I can't speak human language; I speak divine tales!"

The others: "…"

During this period, Chu Feng had been wandering among mountains and rivers, having been away from city life for a long time. Therefore, upon his return, he immediately took his companions to enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Shuntian, reveling in the worldly pleasures.

At a renowned private restaurant, the Big Black Ox, the Northeastern Tiger, and the Old Donkey drank themselves into a stupor, literally becoming "speechless."

The Old Donkey shouted, "Boss, is this really hundred-year-old aged liquor? It's delicious! But this king is thirsty now; bring me a bottle of hundred-year-old mineral water!"

The owner of the private restaurant was quite obliging, immediately sending over a bottle of murky water and telling him not to be shy, as it was five hundred years old and he could have as much as he wanted.

Chu Feng quickly ushered them out. These guys were almost revealing their true forms; if they didn't leave soon, things would get very interesting.

Back in the city, they continued to enjoy delicacies and fine wines, frequenting various renowned clubs and restaurants.

That evening, Chu Feng took them to the twenty-seventh floor of Yunguang Tower, bringing their own ingredients because he had heard that the chef there had extraordinary skills.

They had fresh tiger meat, roc meat, flood dragon meat, and other ingredients, ready to feast.

The restaurant on the twenty-seventh floor of Yunguang Tower was famous, frequently visited by various celebrities who came to enjoy the exquisite food and exceptional service.

Upon arriving, Chu Feng immediately spotted a stunning back. The person was dressed very fashionably and looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was at that moment.

Chu Feng immediately walked closer, wanting to see the front. He felt certain he had seen her before and wanted to know who she was.

"Looking at that back, I'd give it 120 points! It's beyond perfect!" the Big Black Ox exclaimed, clicking its tongue.

Even the Northeastern Tiger and the Old Donkey stared blankly, nodding subtly and giving the Big Ox a thumbs-up. The score was spot on; that back was indeed excessively beautiful.

Suddenly, before they could get close, the stylish woman turned around and glanced at them, instantly stunning them all.

In fact, others nearby were also silent, somewhat dazed, and completely losing their composure because the woman was too beautiful. As the Big Black Ox had said, if perfect was a hundred points, this woman could easily score 120; her beauty was almost surreal.

The stylish woman wore fashionable clothes that accentuated her uniquely beautiful body with astonishing curves. Her beauty was excessive; she had light makeup, vibrant red lips, long eyelashes, large mesmerizing eyes, and a fair, luminous complexion.

At first glance, it was difficult to describe her specific features; she simply felt beautiful to the point of being illusory.

Everyone nearby was captivated by this beauty, staring in a daze. Even the Big Black Ox and the toad were no exception, and even the young Yellow Ox, despite being small, was lost in thought.

Only Chu Feng reacted as if he had seen a ghost. He was initially stunned by her beauty, but quickly became horrified, for he recognized who this truly was!

Wasn't this the woman from Dragon and Tiger Mountain? The peerless classical beauty, who had been suppressed for countless years yet remained unblemished, had now transformed into a fashionable modern woman?!

Chu Feng couldn't tell if it was astonishment or horror.
