Chapter 408: Tight Schedule

The emerald green bamboo raft was sparkling, made from a mysterious plant called "Void Bamboo." This extremely rare bamboo could float into the air and, once refined, was an ideal material for crafting flying tools.

Chu Feng stood on the emerald green bamboo raft, channeling a surge of energy from his feet into the bamboo. The raft immediately lifted off and then shot away like a streak of green lightning.

Initially, it was quite bumpy, swaying up and down, making it hard to maintain balance. However, after piloting it for some distance, Chu Feng quickly grew accustomed to it, controlling the raft at breakneck speed as he headed for Jiangning City.

This thing was indeed incredibly fast, significantly quicker than running on foot, capable of reaching ten times the speed of sound—truly astonishing!

Chu Feng stood high above the ground on the raft, traveling above the clouds. He truly experienced the wonder of flight, soaring through the sky in the morning glow.

In the end, it only took him half an hour to travel from Laoshan to Jiangning, landing near Zijin Mountain, a journey of over six thousand kilometers.

Chu Feng felt time was pressing. He had returned here to improve himself, hoping to refine medicine in this place and then evolve further.

After spending a night in Laoshan, he wondered if the ancient corpse in the earth vein beneath the Lunar Fire Essence had fallen back into slumber. This entity was too bizarre and terrifying; if it wasn't peacefully dormant, using the Tai Shang Eight Trigrams Furnace would be impossible.

The area was now quiet and deserted; no one was lingering there.

Chu Feng used his divine sense to investigate, but he still felt uneasy about the underground situation. He couldn't help but frown, wondering if he wouldn't be able to refine medicine at a crucial moment.

"Let's try drawing some Lunar Fire Essence," he murmured.

He took out the Vajra Choker. Unlike the previous two times when he collected golden Solar Fire Essence, this time he switched to gathering the black Lunar Fire Essence.

Eventually, the gleaming Vajra Choker absorbed a large amount of black energy. The dense Lunar Fire Essence even caused the choker to emit a faint dark glow.

"Hmm? It's still not stable!" Chu Feng's heart tensed. He sensed an inexplicable commotion underground, meaning the entity had not fully gone to sleep.

With a whoosh, Chu Feng steered the raft away, decisive and resolute, wasting no time.

"There are still a few days left. I hope it falls asleep soon," Chu Feng muttered to himself.

Unable to refine medicine and thus temporarily unable to evolve, he began to focus on other matters.

"Old man, I want to use nuclear bombs to carpet-bomb them!" Chu Feng contacted Lu Tong, ready to go all out. He planned to use nuclear weapons the moment people from the Great Qi Dynasty dared to cross over, thereby drawing out even more terrifying field energy from Earth to annihilate them.

"Are you insane?! Using nuclear bombs for a carpet bombing?!" Lu Tong exclaimed. He had been lying low since leaving the Jade Void Palace, but he did possess significant resources.

Previously, Lu Tong had dispatched specialists to hack into the systems of two black-listed organizations, taking over their command and control to directly launch missiles at the aliens.

Chu Feng needed their help because this time, the enemies were unprecedentedly powerful.

He strongly suspected they were enemies at the Carefree Realm.

He didn't hide anything from Lu Tong, and eventually, the old man agreed, deciding to contact his old subordinates and contribute once more.

His confidence grew especially after Lu Tong learned that Yuan, the Master of the Jade Void Palace, was gone, having been killed by Chu Feng.

Next, Chu Feng contacted a group of powerful demons from Mount Kunlun, asking for their assistance. They could go to surrounding regions, such as the peninsula area.

With their immense strength, they could control several bases, and then launch a saturation attack with various thermal weapons into the folded space deep within Laoshan.

As soon as the people from the Great Qi Dynasty showed themselves, they would be subjected to relentless bombing, stimulating Earth's defensive energy field, enhancing its lethality, and grinding those individuals to death.

The last time Chu Feng intercepted the extraterrestrial beings in the sky, missile attacks played a huge role. The aliens used immense energy to protect themselves, which, in turn, triggered a terrifying backlash from Earth's sky-field.

At first, the great demons of Kunlun looked at each other blankly, unsure how to proceed. It took them a long time to sort things out and decide on a plan.

Chu Feng sighed inwardly, thinking that if the Old Rogue Black Ox and the Northeast Tiger were present, they would be perfectly clear on such tactics, exceptionally proficient, and would undoubtedly complete the mission flawlessly.

At the same time, Chu Feng instructed the Bird King and others from Kunlun to go to Laoshan to monitor the situation and immediately inform him of any unusual activity.

He was genuinely concerned that the group might emerge prematurely!

If that happened, all their preparations would be for naught, so he was now racing against time.

Next, Chu Feng contacted the Old Grandmaster of Wudang Mountain, asking him to go to Longhu Mountain to invite someone—specifically, that "demoness sister" or "goddess sister"—to emerge from seclusion.

If that sister hadn't been bragging last time in Shuntian and truly had an extraordinary background, then what were a Great Qi Prince or even a legion of Carefree Realm experts to fear? She could probably swat them all away!

To annihilate the Great Qi Prince, Chu Feng was willing to go all out, preparing every possible contingency to ensure nothing went wrong. He was truly resolved to kill them all.

After that, Chu Feng went into seclusion. He found a serene and picturesque place, hid himself, and began to study energy fields.

He possessed more than one book on energy fields. The first one he obtained could even be called a divine text, as it contained a series of mature field models.

These included weapon-nourishing fields, offensive fields, and defensive fields—all large-scale, perfectly constructed fields. If he could thoroughly research and deploy them, they would be absolutely terrifying.

Naturally, Chu Feng was now focused on offensive fields, immersing himself entirely in their comprehension.

Recently, he had visited the True Dragon's Lair at the Eye of the East Sea and delved into the Qilin's Old Nest, truly witnessing the profound mysteries of top-tier energy fields.

This greatly benefited him, sparking various inspirations.

As for expanding his horizons and gaining real combat experience, it went without saying that only through personal experience could he truly understand them better.

Before this, he had also left his footprints in places like Kunlun, Wudang Mountain, Fengchan Land, Qinling, Zhongnan Mountain, and Huangshan, all of which he had studied.

Chu Feng's mastery of energy fields had improved rapidly, and he was now at a critical juncture. If he could advance further, he would definitely be able to set up complex killing fields.

He wanted to quickly grasp certain field rules and then give the Great Qi Dynasty a "surprise" in Laoshan, completely annihilating them all.

He had already been deep into Laoshan and understood its terrain. Now, he was constantly strategizing and planning in his mind, aiming to unleash terrifying destructive power.

That same day, Lu Tong assured him there were no issues. The old man was also fully committed, stating that if it came down to a desperate fight, nuclear carpet bombing was indeed feasible.

A day later, the Old Lama, while chanting Buddhist scriptures, told Chu Feng with a murderous aura that their side was also ready. They had visited the peninsula and other areas, and a rain of missiles could be unleashed when the time came.

Clearly, the humiliation of the Mastiff King had incited the great demons of Kunlun, even causing the benevolent Old Lama to become somewhat 'darkened' instantly.

"I'm really sorry, this kind of work was originally very suitable for Big Black and the Northeast Tiger," Chu Feng said.

"Amitābha, don't mention it. Kill, kill, kill, kill!" the Old Lama replied.

Chu Feng was speechless for a moment, feeling as if the Old Lama had been possessed.

Then, he resumed his focused study.

Two days later, the Old Grandmaster of Wudang Mountain relayed bad news to Chu Feng: Longhu Mountain was silent, and the mysterious woman could not be found.

Chu Feng frowned. This mysterious woman was a crucial figure with unfathomable combat power; if she were to act, she could probably swat them all away.

However, the situation was dire; once they reached Longhu Mountain, they couldn't contact her at all.

"It seems we can only rely on ourselves!" Chu Feng sighed.

If the situation hadn't been so dire this time, he wouldn't have even considered asking for help, but now it seemed unreliable, and he still had to depend on himself.

"It's better to rely on oneself than on others!"

Chu Feng continued to study energy fields and comprehend the killing formations. If he could truly deploy them, even if he couldn't wipe out the entire group, he could at least eliminate sixty to seventy percent of their forces.

Each of those individuals was ridiculously powerful and considered themselves extremely valuable. However, if they were slaughtered by what they saw as "natives," their expressions before death would surely be quite spectacular.

"We need to hurry. That group could arrive at any moment!" Chu Feng felt a surge of urgency.

On the third day, he made a breakthrough, gaining insights into the rules of energy fields and researching many deeper concepts.

During this time, some news began to spread.

"An Evolution Dynasty has appeared and is about to cross over and descend upon Earth. They are an unimaginable group of powerhouses, an invincible collection of beings whom no one can currently oppose!"

This news, released by the people of the Qilin's Old Nest, immediately sparked a storm, making people everywhere extremely nervous.

An Evolution Dynasty? What a terrifying lineage, daring to call itself a dynasty. Such an evolutionary sect was absolutely horrifying, a top-tier major power.

People from the Qilin's Old Nest had previously assisted Mu Qing and visited Laoshan, having cooperated before, so they naturally knew the inside story.

They leaked more than that, also mentioning that Chu Feng was "ignorant of the times," foolishly attempting an interception, and had successfully ambushed Mu Qing, but was now in conflict with the Evolution Dynasty, resulting in fierce clashes.

This further ignited the storm, and everyone everywhere was paying close attention!

Now that the Evolution Dynasty was coming, how would Chu Feng cope? Everyone wanted to know if he could survive. Could he block such a behemoth?

Even the most confident individuals now sighed softly, showing concern, because compared to the two sides, this was an asymmetrical force!

"The Evolution Dynasty, with its Carefree Realm experts, is about to descend. This is an invincible force!"

Even the people from the Qilin's Old Nest, who were extraterrestrial beings themselves, spoke this way, lowering their own stance and praising them so highly, which was enough to illustrate the gravity of the situation.

Everyone sensed that a violent storm was approaching. An unprecedented tension permeated the air, affecting the nerves of all parties.

Would the invincible Evolution Dynasty sweep across the world and dominate all directions? Everyone felt uncertain; such a terrifying power was truly awe-inspiring.

Some people from the Qilin's Old Nest had misjudged the situation, being so high-profile. This greatly displeased Prince Qi Yu of the Great Qi Dynasty, who was deep within Laoshan. He did not want attention and wished for a quiet descent.

"We shall go and protect the path!"

Some individuals from the Qilin's Old Nest went to Laoshan, seemingly to atone for their previous actions.

Starting with Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue, they had cooperated with Laoshan. Now that the Great Qi Prince was about to cross over, it was time for a portion of the Qilin's Old Nest members to prove themselves.

The wind howled through the buildings, heralding an impending storm. The entire world was now filled with a tense and grim atmosphere, as people quietly awaited a tempest.

All evolvers felt a sense of suppression, almost suffocating. This atmosphere was terrifying, and all parties unanimously believed that an immense storm was about to break.
