Chapter 454: Catching the Saintess

On the other side of the cassock, the Saintess Lilin arranged six dull gray stones in a precise pattern, connecting them to form a hexagram. They astonishingly adhered directly to the blood-red cassock.

Chu Feng frowned slightly. Did this beautiful woman also understand domains?

The six dull gray stones were all highly magnetic, with incredibly high magnetic field values. Chu Feng sensed they were unusual. As he investigated closely, his heart skipped a beat—these were no ordinary items.

These were profound magnets, which could be refined into artifacts needed by domain researchers, such as domain-breaking flags. Profound magnets were excellent materials, countless times more precious than magnetic crystals.

With his fiery golden eyes, Chu Feng peered through the cassock, two beams of light shooting forth. He gazed at the six dull profound magnet stones, a chill running down his spine—these stones contained domain runes.

At this moment, he ignored distracting details, focusing intently on preparing for battle.

Chu Feng immediately attacked, shaking the cassock to make it vibrate violently, hoping to dislodge the six profound magnet stones.

He now understood that the six profound magnet stones were a type of integrated module, containing dense runes within. Though not as powerful as the four Dragon-Locking Stakes, these six stones could still form a formidable domain.

Lilin intended to shackle his cassock; she had already made a ruthless move without a sound.

As Chu Feng moved, Lilin sensed it. An object, bright yellow and slightly ancient in appearance, materialized in her hand and was aimed directly at the cassock.

It was a weapon belonging to the Buddhist clan—a pestle!

"You little wretch!" Chu Feng's expression changed. He had dismissed her earlier, but now he was utterly serious. Saintess Lilin intended to shackle his cassock and then seize it.

Using a Buddhist treasure pestle against the cassock, aided by six profound magnet stones—if she succeeded, Chu Feng would be in serious trouble.

"Boom!"

The cassock danced, instantly billowing upwards like a surging crimson ocean, its waves then crashing against the sky.

Lilin remained calm. Even though Chu Feng had just acted like a great demon king, slaying a group of Free-Realm evolvers, she was fearless.

She knew that his power relied solely on this cassock. Once it was incapacitated, the claim of a Suppressed-Realm individual challenging a Free-Realm opponent would be utterly baseless.

Bang, bang, bang... The bright yellow treasure pestle in her hand glowed, repeatedly striking the cassock and resonating with it. She wanted to seize the treasure!

With a resonant clang of a great bell, Chu Feng shook the cassock and charged forward. A large bell floated above his head, inscribed with images of various beasts from the Twelve True Forms of Xingyi, including dragons and ancient wild oxen, emitting a startling mist.

Although the cassock was stuck with the six profound magnet stones, it still exerted some domain abilities, casting a red glow over Lilin.

The "Equality of All Beings" domain was peculiar, but it didn't fully function. Being stuck to the six profound magnets greatly impacted it, making the cassock's domain unstable!

Moreover, Lilin held a secret Buddhist treasure, the pestle, which posed a serious threat to Chu Feng.

Clearly, Chu Feng realized the danger.

As a dragon's roar echoed, Chu Feng used his domain abilities to make two brass pillars shoot up from the ground—the Dragon-Locking Stakes. They swiftly flew between the cassock and directly suppressed the six profound magnets.

Although the two hadn't directly clashed yet, both faced potential danger. The domains surged, and neither dared to be careless.

Boom! A thunderous sound erupted as the red cassock burst into light, creating a deafening roar.

The golden lines on the cassock seemed to come alive, surging, trembling, and intertwining to form a dazzling light curtain.

The six profound magnet stones also glowed, no longer dull gray, striving to make the cassock settle down.

Holding the treasure pestle, Lilin no longer targeted the cassock but directly attacked Chu Feng, as she had broken free from the red light, preserving her Free-Realm energy!

Fortunately, the Dragon-Locking Stakes arrived in time. Though there were only two, they still managed to block her!

People's hearts pounded. Chu Feng had unleashed a massacre, sweeping away his enemies and just reversing his fortunes, only for Saintess Lilin's sudden attack to land him in trouble again.

Among Earth's native evolvers, the young Xingyi Fist Grandmaster Xu Qing watched Chu Feng with a complex expression, clenching and unclenching his fists.

He had cultivated divine abilities through his martial arts, and his understanding of Xingyi Fist was rarely matched. One look at the great bell told him it was formed from the Twelve True Forms of Xingyi.

Xu Qing instantly realized that Chu Feng was the one who had attacked him covertly, knocked him unconscious, stolen the Xingyi True Interpretation, and even thrown him into a trash can.

This was outrageous! It was unbearable!

If not for his apprehension about Chu Feng's strength, he would have charged forward already. He absolutely couldn't let go of the person who had ambushed him—it was too shameful and hateful.

"How could you, the great Demon King Chu, stoop to such underhanded tactics? Hitting me on the back of the head with a weapon!" These were Xu Qing's thoughts, and he almost swore out loud.

He was usually calm and cautious, but now he was agitated.

At this moment, a change occurred in the arena: the six profound magnet stones were all removed by Chu Feng, and the cassock's red light intensified, fully liberated.

Saintess Lilin's expression subtly changed. She used her treasure pestle to break free from the red light, escaped the battlefield, and rushed to a distant spot, standing on the green grass.

Chu Feng gave chase. As he collected the six profound magnet stones, the cassock shrunk and wrapped around his body, radiating red light—this defense was the most reliable.

Simultaneously, golden threads flew from the cassock, like fine strands, connecting with Saintess Lilin, seemingly wrapping around her body.

They were not physical objects, but golden beams of light that had already entwined around Lilin's slender waist, almost binding her.

Lilin activated her treasure pestle, attempting to sever the golden beams, but failed. These were divine magnetic lights; they couldn't be cut, nor could they harm her, but they entangled her, making it difficult to break free.

Everyone was astonished; these two were connected through a single cassock.

"Let go!" Lilin exclaimed.

Although she appeared calm, a divine glow flickered deep in her eyes. She wanted to break free immediately. As a Saintess from a distant planet, what kind of spectacle was this, being entangled with someone like this?

"Let go of what? Perhaps today I can partially fulfill a wish and capture a Saintess to serve as my maid." Chu Feng pressed forward, intending to use the cassock's domain to achieve "Equality of All Beings," fight her, and then subdue her.

Everyone who heard this was dumbfounded. Had they heard correctly? Demon King Chu wanted to abduct a Saintess to be his maid?!

"Bang!" Lilin attacked, her beautiful body radiating a sacred and gentle radiance. She unleashed a secret technique, swinging her treasure pestle and striking towards Chu Feng.

However, as the two drew near, the "Equality of All Beings" domain activated again, preventing her from harming Chu Feng.

Bang, bang, bang! After several clashes, the two separated, still connected by the golden beams of light.

"How about we stop here for today?" Lilin spoke, not wishing to entangle with him further. For a Saintess, this was a significant concession.

"You attacked me first. Now that things aren't going your way, you want to just walk away? It's not that easy!" Chu Feng refused to let her go.

"Although your cassock contains the 'Equality of All Beings' domain, it has a time limit. Are you sure you want to continue? You understand the consequences when the domain 'cools down'," Lilin revealed publicly.

In the distance, the people beside Saint Son Li Qing showed surprised expressions. If this was true, it would be a rare opportunity. They believed Chu Feng couldn't possibly have any other trump cards.

However, Li Qing remained calm, showing no intention of intervening.

"Subduing you before the domain cools down will be enough," Chu Feng stated.

"If it were a super-large domain like 'Universal Salvation,' I would concede. If it were a devastating offensive domain like 'Six-Foot Golden Body,' I would also surrender. But you, relying on a flawed 'Equality of All Beings' domain, want to apprehend me? That's a bit too arrogant."

Lilin remained calm, a hint of coldness appearing on her beautiful face and snow-white, crystalline skin. The native opposite her had publicly declared he would capture her to be his maid. For a Saintess, this was an insult and a blatant provocation.

"There's nothing more to say. Let's see if I capture you before the domain cools down, or if you get the last laugh!" Chu Feng attacked, relying on the golden beam connection between them to entangle and assault her.

Bang, bang, bang... Lilin found this battle extremely uncomfortable. Her strength was suppressed, and she nearly faced a crisis, forcing her to repeatedly take to the air to dodge.

At this moment, Chen Sheng, pinned to the ground by a dark red long spear, awoke. Covered in blood and extremely weak, he saw Chu Feng pursuing Saintess Lilin and immediately widened his eyes.

"Puff!" Chu Feng opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Gengjin sword energy, cultivated in his lungs, which decapitated Chen Sheng. He then used his mental power to retrieve the war spear.

After that, he temporarily abandoned Lilin and began continuously attacking the dark light in the arena, unleashing a barrage of magnets.

Within that dark light lay a Domain-Suppressing Seal, which filled Chu Feng with excitement. He felt it was the greatest gain of his trip to Mount Putuo. If he acquired it, he would have a chance to ascend the altar of the Fengchan land, potentially encountering immense fortune!

He didn't dare to directly enter the dark light because he was currently using the "Equality of All Beings" domain and feared being suppressed if he went inside. He could only wait for it to "cool down" from the outside.

Lilin seized this opportunity to escape, but found herself bound by the golden beams, unable to pull away from Chu Feng.

Finally, the dark light faded, and the Domain-Suppressing Seal "cooled down," transforming into a silent, black stone seal.

With a whoosh, Chu Feng directly put it into his spatial bottle. This item was too important; he was incredibly excited, more so than if he had harvested a basket full of exotic fruits.

One must know, upon ascending the Mount Tai altar, there were items like Peaches of Immortality and Grass Rejuvenation Pills, whose value was unimaginable!

With his current domain mastery, coupled with the Domain-Suppressing Seal, success was highly probable!

Afterward, he collected the other two Dragon-Locking Stakes.

"Brother Chu, let's stop here," Saint Son Li Qing suddenly spoke.

"Saint Son Li Qing, I appreciate the goodwill you've shown today." Chu Feng wasn't just talking idly; Li Qing had indeed refrained from interfering, earning his favor. Then, Chu Feng urged, "How about we cooperate further and take down this Saintess together?"

Li Qing was speechless. This person was far too informal!

"If it troubles you, then never mind; I'll handle it myself," Chu Feng said, then went all out to pursue Lilin.

Saintess Lilin was very passive, a golden light binding her waist, preventing her from creating distance from Chu Feng. Once he approached, she could only passively fight under the "Equality of All Beings" domain.

Finally, she ascended into the sky like a celestial maiden, attempting to escape.

As a result, Chu Feng was carried along, effectively continuing the chase.

Lilin hesitated, wanting to go to the famous inland mountains and enlist the help of those from the Star Road to suppress Chu Feng together. However, she didn't dare, fearing that once Chu Feng entered those famous mountains, he might unleash terrifying destructive power.

This was because those places contained numerous domains, and if he activated them, it would become his home ground!

At the foot of Mount Putuo, there was a clamor of voices. People were utterly astonished. Chu Feng had consecutively slain powerful enemies and was now pursuing a Saintess. This was a major event, certain to cause a massive sensation.

Ultimately, Saintess Lilin plunged into the ocean, treading the waves and speeding away. She persisted, hoping to exhaust Chu Feng. Once the "Equality of All Beings" domain expired, he would surely be doomed.

However, the period was precarious. A golden beam connected her to Chu Feng, making escape impossible, and even a slight effort from Chu Feng brought him close, forcing her to confront him.

"Being my maid won't wrong you. Usually, it'll just be helping me with leg massages, shoulder rubs, serving tea and water, and assisting with grooming..." Chu Feng shouted from behind.

Hearing this, a vein pulsed on Saintess Lilin's pearly white forehead. Was this not a grievance? Even ordinary maids weren't treated so miserably.

"Oh, and by the way, how are your tea skills? What about your proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? They say a good maid should be presentable in the hall and skilled in the kitchen. Also, have you learned needlework? And, on a related note, can you make a bed?"

Upon hearing such words, Saintess Lilin nearly flew into a rage, truly wanting to turn around and have a decisive battle with that native, utterly destroying him!

"I highly doubt it. Although your face is pretty and your figure is good, your strength is too weak. Are you truly a Saintess? You're only in the Free Realm, not much stronger than those I've already killed." Chu Feng questioned from behind, implying his dissatisfaction with the Saintess-turned-maid's strength.

Lilin's beautiful eyes shot forth divine light, and she glared fiercely back at him, but ultimately continued skimming across the ocean surface, unwilling to stop.

She was somewhat furious. As a grand master of the Contemplation Realm, she had courageously crippled part of her cultivation to cross over early, dropping to the Free Realm, only to now be provoked by a mere Suppressed-Realm rogue.

"I'm warning you, if you don't stop, once I catch you, you'll be warming my bed!" Chu Feng shouted from behind.

Lilin's speed increased. She eventually plunged into the water, already reaching the South Sea, and directly charged towards the South Sea Dragon Palace.

Corals glowed in clusters, like myriad lights in the enormous underwater city below. It was vibrant and strikingly beautiful.

Ultimately, they battled fiercely here, with Lilin fighting and retreating.

"You want the South Sea Dragon Clan to fight me?" Chu Feng frowned.

They stormed into the South Sea Dragon Palace, fighting their way through and causing great chaos.

When the Old Dragon King of the South Sea learned of the situation and rushed back from a deep sea trench, he was furious, roaring, "Chu Feng is going too far, daring to trespass into my Dragon Palace! Sooner or later, I will split you in half!"

He was still unaware of Chu Feng's exploits at Mount Putuo.

After fighting their way out of the South Sea Dragon Palace, Saintess Lilin finally encountered a crisis. As Chu Feng approached, he unexpectedly struck her treasure pestle away with his Vajra Girdle. She should have been fortunate that the Sun Fire Essence within the Vajra Girdle had already been used up.

Chu Feng seized the treasure pestle!

"Where are you going, my maid!" Chu Feng yelled, quickly giving chase.

Lilin's expression turned cold. She felt that the time required for the "Equality of All Beings" domain to cool down was far too long.

She abruptly turned around and faced him with full might. She was a Saintess from a certain planet, exceptionally talented. Constantly avoiding battle earlier, hoping to wear him down, had proven to be a less effective strategy. In a true clash at the same level, could she really be inferior to this person?

In fact, she was quickly disheartened. After clashing with Chu Feng, even as a Saintess, she found herself at a slight disadvantage.

"Haha, one of my life's wishes is about to be fulfilled!" Chu Feng laughed heartily.
