Chapter 447: Crazy Evolution

In Wuyi Mountain, a creature from beyond the Shackles Realm forcibly entered Earth's main space. Its arms were burned off by flames formed from field symbols, leaving it screaming in agony.

The significant commotion was noticed by a Wire Snake King in the mountains. News of this spread to the outside world, immediately causing intense public unease.

The Wire Snake King confirmed that the humanoid creature had reached the Carefree Realm. Its breathing caused astonishing phenomena: energy surged from its mouth and nostrils, resembling two white dragons leaping.

This was a major event and a highly dangerous sign. Creatures surpassing the Shackles Realm were about to emerge and enter Earth, making native evolutionaries very apprehensive.

"High-level creatures have finally appeared," Chu Feng sighed, acknowledging that this day had, after all, arrived.

Only five days had passed since the Demigod's intervention. This powerful interference from the starry sky directly led to drastic changes on Earth. Energy concentration in famous mountains greatly increased, green vines bloomed with emerald light, flowers emitted radiance, and even cliff faces became crystalline.

Everything was different; the medicinal efficacy of exotic fruits rapidly improved.

The creature that emerged from Wuyi Mountain, with its arms severed, was not a threat. However, this did not mean that other invading extraterrestrial beings would suffer the same fate.

Famous mountains and great rivers were restless with the cries of apes and roars of tigers, unable to find peace.

Chu Feng's pressure doubled. What could he do? He could only search for exotic fruits to quickly evolve and become stronger!

If he waited for various divine sons and saintesses to emerge, and his strength had not increased, he would face a desperate situation and a death threat. A Saint had issued a decree to kill him, and the implications were too great!

Meanwhile, Chu Feng had been quite fruitful, finding several enhanced exotic fruits like the Scarlet Flame Pear and Silver Fruit. These, when refined into medicine, could help him break through his tenth shackle.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed, but now he felt an urgency, believing it was still not enough!

"I wonder how the Golden Fire Jujubes in Mount Huang are doing. I hope they'll surprise me later!" Chu Feng murmured to himself. He decided not to pick them immediately, opting to let them mature for another two or three days.

Before going to the moon, he had been cultivating that jujube tree, hoping to harvest its fruits in ten to fifteen days. With the rapid changes occurring on Earth, he now had even higher expectations for a sharp increase in their medicinal properties.

This was because the jujube tree was rooted in sunfire essence and was originally a sacred tree. It had only recently revived, which was why its miraculous properties hadn't fully manifested yet.

Chu Feng believed that when the old jujube tree bloomed and bore fruit again next year, it would likely be extraordinary.

At this time, several conglomerates, such as Bodhi Gene, the Extraterrestrial Civilization Institute, and the Tonggu Alliance, contacted Chu Feng. With extraterrestrial invaders growing stronger, these conglomerates were uneasy and wanted to discuss countermeasures.

Chu Feng politely declined and did not show up.

He had no time for such discussions; he only wanted to get stronger.

Chu Feng sped to Zijin Mountain in Jiangning and began setting up a field, completely concealing this special area. He intended to refine medicine and did not wish to be discovered.

Since he had suitable exotic fruits, he would not delay. He wanted to improve himself first, fearing that unexpected events might occur, leaving him with regret if he didn't have time to refine the medicine.

In this mountain area, flames surged, but no one outside could detect them. Chu Feng had set up several layers of fields, enveloping the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace and isolating it from the outside.

Inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, besides Chu Feng's medicinal refining, there were various secret treasures, such as the Spirit-Binding Rope, bronze sword, silver armor, and a Buddhist kasaya.

Of course, there were also the Vajra Bracelet and the spatial bottle, among others.

Intense flames surged and flickered, reflecting off Chu Feng's body, making it glow with a golden-yellow, radiant sheen, appearing exceptionally tough and powerful.

Beside him, several exotic fruits were being refined together, gradually condensing into a crystalline liquid that was transforming into pills, a very rare sight.

Simultaneously, the weapons glowed, being nurtured and tempered in the furnace, emanating a highly spiritual radiance.

"Huh?"

Chu Feng was surprised to find that the Vajra Bracelet was changing during this process. Each time he refined it here, it would reveal intricate and mysterious patterns, to varying degrees.

These patterns did not remain on the surface; they eventually receded inward, while the exterior of the bracelet became increasingly pure white and translucent.

However, the most significant change was observed in the kasaya. It was as vibrant red as the evening glow, shimmering with light, and by the end, the area was filled with misty clouds and radiant hues.

After being refined here, the Buddhist kasaya became even more vividly red, with golden threads weaving across it like revived small snakes, forming complex patterns.

Chu Feng was astonished. This kasaya's value was greater than he had imagined; a certain field within it was undergoing refinement!

"Could it be the legendary... Equality of All Beings?!" He looked shocked. On the moon, he had perused numerous ancient texts, and one particular manuscript mentioned a unique Buddhist field.

Among them, the 'Equality of All Beings' was lauded as a masterpiece by a grandmaster!

It wasn't about the field's power, but rather its ingenuity and brilliant conception. Within this field, whether one was a Golden Body Arhat or a minor demon, all were considered equal.

Chu Feng's heart pounded. He knew that the 'Equality of All Beings'—a unique Buddhist field—was only mentioned in the moon's ancient texts but not fully documented.

"I hope it can be restored!" Chu Feng's eyes shone with intense longing.

He knew there was something special about the kasaya, and it needed slow, patient refining; its ultimate outcome was uncertain.

A day and a night later, the earth fire from all directions extinguished, and the Zijin Mountain area quieted down. Inside the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, there were over a dozen crystalline pills, each brilliant and pale purple.

Without hesitation, Chu Feng swallowed one pill. In an instant, divine radiance surged from his entire body, erupting from his pores, and his cellular activity dramatically increased.

It felt as if something within his body was torn apart. His spleen glowed brilliantly, and a layer of radiance permeated his body, covering his surface.

His physique rapidly improved, cellular activity soared, and he underwent intense evolution. As sweat was expelled from his pores, certain substances were also released, dropping to the ground with a gentle tremor.

It was a long time before all this concluded.

Chu Feng's body became crystalline, his internal organs clear, and his energy density surged significantly. Especially after breaking through the spleen shackle, he gained a completely new ability.

With a slight exertion of force, a layer of radiance would emanate from his body, like protective armor, making him incredibly difficult to penetrate. This significantly boosted his defensive capabilities.

The spleen is the body's largest immune system, and after releasing energy, it was indeed related to defense.

This was very practical, as it could protect him in combat and reduce damage.

However, Chu Feng also frowned. The abilities gained in the Shackles Realm were numerous and lacked systematic organization. He would need to plan them carefully once he reached the Carefree Realm.

He picked up the kasaya, gazed at it carefully, and smiled in satisfaction. This item was indeed mysterious!

Chu Feng packed his belongings and immediately left, then ventured once more into various famous mountains. He was determined to rise rapidly and continuously evolve in the short term.

"Actually, the greatest fortune lies on Mount Tai's Fengshan Sacrificial Altar. There are Pantao peaches and Rebirth Elixirs there, but unfortunately, I'm not confident enough to go up yet; the field there is vast."

Chu Feng frowned. His current mastery of fields was extraordinary, but deciphering the altar at the Fengshan ceremony site still posed some difficulty.

He decided to travel among the various famous mountains, actively engaging with these places to deepen his practical understanding of fields.

In Mount Luofu, a green vine bloomed with emerald light, bearing six flattened, round, purple-gold fruits that exuded fragrance.

Chu Feng was delighted. He was certain that these fruits would be effective for him, suitable for refining into medicine to aid his evolution.

"As expected of Mount Luofu, a place rich in ancient myths of gods and immortals. It holds exotic fruits that can help me break through my eleventh shackle."

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head, as if a keen sword was pressing against it, about to pierce his skull. Chu Feng quickly ducked.

With a bang, a thrown javelin, as thick as an arm, flew past his body, striking a distant small hill which then exploded into fragments.

A single javelin had destroyed a mountain peak.

Chu Feng, with a swift hand motion, picked all the purple-gold fruits, then leaped, reappearing four or five li away.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

During this process, several javelins flew rapidly, pursuing and targeting him.

If Chu Feng hadn't possessed a pair of light wings that allowed him to change direction rapidly in the air, he would surely have been impaled.

Only after Chu Feng had exited the most effective range of the javelins did he land, turning to see a tall creature approaching, radiating killing intent. It had already locked onto Chu Feng!

A creature from the Carefree Realm!

This individual had four arms, bronze-colored skin, and was powerful and muscular. Aside from the extra arms, it appeared no different from other humans.

Clearly, it knew Chu Feng, having seen his data and photos. The temptation of the Saint's bronze token was irresistible to such beings, making them eager to sever Chu Feng's head.

"You dare come to kill me alone in a famous mountain!" Chu Feng said, his expression cold.

The four-armed humanoid remained silent. The failed sneak attack had made it realize that things were likely to be troublesome.

The next moment, it moved with exceptional speed, chasing Chu Feng through Mount Luofu. Its hands glowed incessantly as javelin after javelin was hurled forth.

These were not physical objects but energy constructs. It sought to suppress Chu Feng, giving him no opportunity to retaliate, forcing him to passively endure its tempestuous assault.

Unfortunately, this was not a plain or a city, but a famous mountain! With a shift in Chu Feng's thought, the pre-existing fields underground were activated.

The area immediately echoed with clanging sounds, and murderous aura boiled.

Chu Feng used the fields to engage in combat with it.

Finally, a web of spider-silk-like light beams interwoven, forming an inescapable net that enveloped the creature.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Feng immediately charged forward, swung his bronze sword, and with a single strike, sent its head flying. Blood spurted from the headless corpse.

Afterward, he departed. When fighting in famous mountains, he held a significant advantage, appearing almost unbeatable on home ground.

Chu Feng left, leaving behind a robust corpse.

He returned to Zijin Mountain in Jiangning and once again began refining medicine.

A day later, he broke through his eleventh shackle. His liver glowed, and purple mists surged, further enhancing his strength.

This time, the few secret treasures beside him showed limited improvement.

At this time, the outside world was not peaceful. Creatures from the Carefree Realm had truly emerged, and not just one or two of them.

"Where is Chu Feng?" Some people eagerly sought to find Chu Feng, as killing him would grant them the Saint's bronze token.

These were not just one or two individuals, but a large group of beings, all emerging from the famous mountains!

"A few more days have passed. The Sun Fire Jujubes on Mount Huang should be almost ripe now."

Chu Feng sped along, finally about to harvest the exotic fruits there.

He arrived at Mount Huang and ascended the peak. Sure enough, the golden fruits on the tree were like numerous small lanterns, exuding a refreshing fragrance that pleasantly surprised him.

With the rapid global changes, this old jujube tree in Mount Huang had flourished, emitting both medicinal and fruity aromas. Its fist-sized jujubes pulsed with golden light.

This place already had a natural field, and Chu Feng had added his own arrangements, making it inaccessible to ordinary people, which was why no one had been able to harvest the fruits until now.

The old jujube tree was rooted in fire essence, diffusing auspicious energy, and its emerald leaves shimmered. All its fruits were now completely ripe and incredibly potent, capable of helping Chu Feng evolve.

He smiled, swept his hand, gathering all the fruits, then without stopping, rushed back to Zijin Mountain to refine medicine.

That day, he isolated himself from the world, paying no attention to external affairs, solely focused on improving himself and disregarding all changes outside.

In fact, the outside world was now turbulent, with many formidable characters emerging. Creatures from the Carefree Realm had begun to roam the world, causing considerable commotion!

After another day and night, Chu Feng successfully refined the medicine. After consuming a golden pill from the Supreme Furnace, energy surged wildly within him.

In his abdomen, a dazzling burst of light erupted, shaking his entire body. He was astonished; breaking the abdominal shackle felt different, comparable to the sensation of breaking the heart shackle previously.

The abdominal area felt expansive, and the special ability gained was the capacity to absorb and store external energy, which could then be circulated throughout his limbs and bones.

At this point, Chu Feng had broken through his twelfth shackle, reaching the pinnacle of this realm!

Generally, breaking twelve shackles was sufficient; further breakthroughs would not increase combat power, and one could already enter the Carefree Realm.

Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes. His abdomen had transformed into a golden vortex, devouring heaven and and earth, like a vast ocean embracing all rivers. Energy surged, and his combat power dramatically increased.

Crucially, the small black and white millstone within his body was also in this location, capable of purifying energy and elevating its quality by several levels.

Chu Feng's abdomen glowed faintly, then the luminescence spread throughout his entire body.

Relatively speaking, in the Shackles Realm, Chu Feng was far more powerful than ordinary people. Even on this planet where evolutionary civilization had declined, he had achieved this level through his own exploration.

If he were in the outside world, he could also be called a divine son or saint child.

"I wonder what's happening outside?" Chu Feng walked out of Zijin Mountain.

He left the special terrain—the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace—and took out his communicator from the spatial bottle. As he carefully read the messages, his expression changed instantly.

Someone had gone to Qingyang Town at the foot of Mount Taihang, inquiring about his whereabouts, and ultimately burned his family residence there to ashes.

Was this a declaration of war?

Soon, he learned that some people were looking for a group of great demons in Kunlun Mountain, intending to extract information about his location from them.

However, the Mastiff King, the old lama, and others had long since left Kunlun and no longer occupied the area.

Then, Chu Feng's expression changed again as he received news that more invaders were looking for his parents, clearly trying to force him to appear.

He wasn't particularly worried, as he had long ago arranged for his parents to hide and live in seclusion with the old ape.

"For the Saint's bronze token, these people are truly resorting to all means, only wanting to force me out and cut off my head." Chu Feng's gaze turned cold.

"So, the Carefree Realm is impressive, huh? Today, I'll meet you all. Divine sons, saintesses, whoever targets me, just come! Let's fight with all you've got, or else, await my massacre!"

Chu Feng was fearless. Even if he were to be defeated, at worst, he would just retreat into a famous mountain!

And he had now reached the absolute peak of the Shackles Realm, feeling he could step into the Carefree level at any moment.
