Chapter 474: Such Invincibility

The audience on the Primeval Beast platform was astonished. Evolved beings from various planets were deeply shocked by his statements. It had been years since anyone had witnessed such audacity. He openly chided saints and threatened to eradicate their descendants, truly a fanatic.

Meanwhile, atop Mount Tai, a group of individuals stared intently, seething with anger. Holy Sons and Holy Daughters from various life-bearing planets, who had gathered to hunt him, were now being so openly disdained.

"Not one of you can last ten moves against me!" Chu Feng declared again. This audacious statement nearly made the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters explode with fury.

They were all renowned figures in their own right; who dared to belittle them?

Prior to this, they had all been considered paragons among their generation on their respective planets, capable of single-handedly annihilating scores of adversaries.

Now, as they converged to hunt a single individual, they were subjected to such insolence!

"Boom!"

A crimson glow shot skyward. It was Zhu Wuque, the Holy Son of the Yinque lineage, who, without concealment, unleashed energy beams, ready to slaughter Chu Feng.

"Awooo..." With a thunderous roar, Yuan Kun, short-haired and resembling an enraged Vajra, revealed his true form. He transformed into a pale golden Vajra Ape, emanating a formidable aura of world-shaking power. Around him, colossal boulders levitated, and towering trees were ripped from the ground, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.

White-haired Lieshan sported a cruel smile. Behind him, an enormous silver pangolin, an energy manifestation, roared, its teeth gleaming like sharp, menacing swords.

Holy Daughter Li Feng from Gentle Wind Planet, a tall and striking figure even taller than most men, wielded a great halberd. Intense energy radiated from her body, and her eyes, like golden lamps, were fiercely sharp, causing nearby rocks to crumble.

Hundred Transformations Holy Son Yuwen Feng was enveloped by swirling black energy vortices that ravenously absorbed all life force in the vicinity, causing vegetation to wither rapidly.

Around Ziluan, Zhan He, and Bailing, energy surged and boiled, resembling three miniature suns of different hues, each radiating intense killing intent.

"Come on, destroying all of you will be pathetically easy, nothing to fear!" Chu Feng taunted again, pointing at the group. "Skeptical? If you don't believe me, let one of you step forward and try. I'll tie one arm behind my back and still dispatch you with a single hand."

At this point, not only the onlookers but everyone watching on the Primeval Beast platform felt he was overestimating himself and was destined for a disastrous downfall.

On Mount Tai's summit, the vast throng of followers, a dense, dark mass behind the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, erupted in a clamor, eager to rush forward and slay him.

"I'll go!"

Zhu Wuque motioned for everyone to hold back. He decided the best course of action against such a fanatic was to blast half his body away with a single punch, then crush him underfoot, silencing his arrogance once and for all.

Indeed, the other Divine Sons and Holy Daughters harbored similar thoughts. While they yearned to execute Chu Feng instantly, they were unwilling to let his arrogance soar unchecked. Their collective desire was to utterly humiliate him first, shattering his confidence and drowning him in a sense of defeat.

Who were they? The preeminent heirs of powerful races, with ancestors who had achieved the ranks of Sub-Saints and Saints. How could they tolerate such blatant arrogance and impudence from a mere native?

In their estimation, even a collective assault to instantly kill him would be a disgrace. Only by having one individual step forward and slap the fanatic dead could their pride be assuaged.

"Come on, let's make this quick. I'll dispatch you with a single finger!" Chu Feng declared, chin held high, adopting a posture that suggested he considered himself the third most important entity in existence, after heaven and earth.

"Remember, my name is Zhu Wuque, a descendant of Star Knight Yin Jiuque. My ancestor once massacred yours, and today, I shall do the same to you!"

"You talk too much! You're just a little mountain sparrow; I'll simply swat you dead. I'll finish you in three moves. Now get over here and face your demise!" Chu Feng retorted with a look of utter disdain.

Everyone was speechless. Wasn't *he* the one who had been relentlessly spewing threats? His arrogant demeanor made it seem as though he wished to crush saints with a single blow.

"Boom!"

Zhu Wuque's entire body surged with crimson light. Flames erupted from his seven orifices and pores. With eyes as cold as ice and crimson hair flying, he transformed into a crimson streak of lightning, hurtling towards Chu Feng with astounding speed.

Chu Feng decided the moment was ripe. Having successfully drawn maximum hatred, it was time for his move.

As he confronted Zhu Wuque, a colossal bell boomed around him, wreathed in white mist, as if the Chaos Bell itself had awakened. It vibrated with terrifying energy as he formed a fist seal and unleashed it upon his foe.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The two exchanged blows rapidly, a true head-on collision, a fight to the death that captivated everyone's attention.

By all accounts, everyone had to concede that this individual was indeed remarkable, capable of enduring a Holy Son's wrath and engaging him in a life-or-death struggle.

With a final, deafening crash, the energy between them intensified by dozens of times, erupting in blinding light. Golden lotuses, garlands, and other phenomena materialized simultaneously, creating a truly terrifying spectacle.

These were Zhu Wuque's techniques, channeling high-level energy constructs with the intent to annihilate Chu Feng.

Between them, light beams blazed, resembling a series of volcanic eruptions. Terrifying magma shot hundreds of meters into the air, and rivers of lava raged indiscriminately, an incredibly fearsome sight.

In an instant, they passed each other, each hurtling in an opposite direction.

This initial collision ended without either managing to effectively dispatch the other.

"Again! This time, I'll certainly wipe out you, you red-feathered little chick!" Chu Feng bellowed as he charged away. Only he would dare to call the Yinque, who possessed a partial Vermillion Bird bloodline, a "little chick."

Enraged, Zhu Wuque charged a significant distance before abruptly stopping and spinning around. He prepared to unleash all his trump cards, intending to slaughter Chu Feng outright in their second clash and deny him any further opportunity to speak.

But then... there was no "then"!

Because, after Chu Feng charged out, he simply did not return. With a pair of blue energy wings unfurled on his back, causing the air to explode around him, he plunged headlong towards the Mount Tai secret realm.

At this moment, he had reached at least twelve times the speed of sound. The terrifying sonic boom shattered the surrounding air, and white mist vibrated, creating an artificial wonderland of swirling clouds.

Everyone was still waiting, eager to witness his impending decisive battle with Zhu Wuque. The Divine Sons and Holy Daughters all hoped that Yin Jiuque's descendant would exert his full power, directly cripple Chu Feng, and then crush him underfoot, just to see how arrogant he could remain!

Even as he fled, Chu Feng continued to bellow, shouting about killing Zhu Wuque and effortlessly eliminating the "red-feathered little chick," thus lulling everyone into a false sense of security.

However, his actual actions disgusted everyone. He fled with incredible speed, bolting wildly, almost vanishing from sight as he exited the battlefield!

"How utterly shameless! To flee without fighting, after spewing so many threats—was all that just to make everyone drop their guard?!"

"Oh my, how incredibly thick-skinned this fellow is! Is this what he meant by single-handedly defeating all his enemies? Truly... an unbeatable character, with unparalleled audacity!"

On the Primeval Beast platform, people erupted in outrage, their eyes opened to the truth. They had believed him to be a formidable individual who would sooner break than bend, ready to sacrifice himself in a desperate battle.

As it turned out, everyone had been mistaken. This individual had uttered every conceivable threat and acted with utter arrogance and belligerence, all to create this precise moment—to lull everyone into complacency and facilitate his escape.

"You won't get away!"

On Mount Tai's summit, someone roared. It was Yuan Kun of the Vajra Ape tribe, who had reverted to his true form—a towering figure with a wide mouth and tusks, his fur shimmering gold—to intercept Chu Feng.

Since Holy Sons and Holy Daughters surrounded the area from every direction, even if Yuan Kun had been momentarily careless, he could still intercept him in time.

However, what awaited him was a colossal energy bell. Its walls glowed golden, indistinguishable from a genuine bell, and it emanated a terrifying mist as it hurtled directly towards him.

Chu Feng acted ruthlessly, unleashing the Golden Bell Barrier from his body. This pure energy construct slammed into Yuan Kun, then exploded.

This was a deadly move; anyone attempting to withstand it head-on would surely meet a terrible fate.

"Argh..." Yuan Kun shrieked. As they approached, he felt his energy plummet, being dragged down to Chu Feng's level. Then, as the bell exploded, his golden fur stood on end.

It was as if the sky itself had ruptured. Nearby boulders crumbled and melted, vegetation turned to ash, and energy, like a tidal wave from a lava ocean, surged and crashed.

Yuan Kun retreated, unwilling to risk being shattered by the bell's explosion even if he failed to stop Chu Feng. At the critical moment, he managed to evade it.

Ahead, some of his followers shrieked. At least eight of them exploded into a crimson mist, while Chu Feng seized the opportunity to surge past.

Chu Feng was satisfied, cutting a path directly towards the Tai Mountain secret realm.

Among the pursuers, Zhu Wuque was likely the fastest due to his Vermillion Bird bloodline. However, having just crossed paths with Chu Feng, with each moving in opposite directions, he could only turn around and watch helplessly as Chu Feng vanished into the distance.

"Coward, get back here!" Zhu Wuque roared in pursuit.

At this moment, Yuwen Feng, Ziluan, Lieshan, Yuan Kun, Chen Rong from Penglai Island, and others, their eyes chilling, relentlessly pursued him, determined to eliminate Chu Feng.

They considered him utterly shameless. He had initially presented himself with a world-conquering, self-important demeanor, only to flee after a single exchange. What a scoundrel!

"Coward, weren't you demanding a decisive battle? Get back here and die; I'll cleave you to death with a single raised hand!" Zhu Wuque roared through spiritual transmission.

He knew that conventional sound waves would be ineffective and too slow for Chu Feng to hear instantly.

"Do you think I'm a fool? You've all evolved to the Contemplation realm, mastering various energy constructs, forging your own paths, and comprehending far more profound evolutionary concepts than I have. You expect me to engage you in a decisive battle now? Get lost! Wait until I achieve my breakthrough, then I'll annihilate every single one of you!" Chu Feng retorted.

Despite his immense confidence and astonishing courage, he had no desire to be cornered and hunted.

As he stated, his evolutionary level was not high. Even if he could pull these individuals down to his own level, with comparable energy levels, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters still possessed an inherent advantage due to their deeper comprehension of advanced concepts.

Chu Feng distinctly recalled the immense effort required to subdue Li Lin, a skirmish where he nearly met his end. While he might contend with one or two such Holy Sons or Holy Daughters, a full-scale siege would almost certainly result in his miserable demise, given his cultivation in the Chains Realm.

He needed to advance to the Free and Unrestrained Realm, achieving complete mastery of that level. It would be ample time then to eliminate these Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, truly eradicating them all.

Behind him, the group seethed with such intense hatred that their teeth ached.

On the Primeval Beast platform, the audience was equally speechless.

Having successfully broken through, Chu Feng now faced two choices: either to safely withdraw from Mount Tai or to risk ascending the altar for a forceful breakthrough.

He chose the latter, for if he missed this opportunity, the area would surely be swarming with even more ambushes. It was clear that the people of Penglai had anticipated his intentions, otherwise, they wouldn't have colluded with so many Divine Sons and Holy Daughters to lie in wait and hunt him.

Perhaps this was his final opportunity; failing to reach the altar today would make it even more difficult later. At that point, the grand curtain of a worldwide hunt for Chu Feng would fully rise, placing him in even greater peril.

Ahead of the secret realm, a hazy mist obscured the view.

At the crucial point, a small, pebble-strewn path hovered in the void, leading into a dimensional space.

It was within this space that Ouyang Feng, the toad, had originally emerged, and where the magnificent altar also lay.

Chu Feng surged through, entering directly. He had prepared numerous lodestones, inscribed with domain symbols, intending to seal the area and block any pursuit.

However, he didn't have time to deploy them. The moment he stepped into this space, bathed in speckles of golden light, he was ambushed. A punch, infused with dragon qi, struck with grandeur and righteousness. Even as a sneak attack, it felt like the majestic sun illuminating the cosmos.

Grand Prince Qi Yu of Great Qi appeared. He had emerged from the star path deep within Mount Lao, arrived at Mount Tai, and set up this ambush to intercept Chu Feng.

Bang, bang, bang!

Chu Feng's kasaya trembled, emitting dazzling light. After exchanging several powerful blows with his assailant, he truly felt the formidable strength of this individual.

"You adulterer, where are you? I'll kill every last one of you!" Qi Yu uttered chillingly. He harbored profound hatred for Chu Feng and Lin Nuoyi, who had once collaborated to annihilate all his subordinates, leaving him utterly alone.

"You wretched toad, dreaming of swan meat? Get lost! What kind of pathetic prince are you? Wait until I've completed my evolution, then I'll slaughter you!"

Chu Feng exchanged swift and fierce blows with him several times. With a pair of crystalline, blue-diamond-like energy wings on his back, he broke the sound barrier and sped away once more, never looking back.

This interception prevented him from deploying field barriers to hinder his pursuers. Furthermore, he sensed along the way that Penglai and forces from beyond the domain had colluded. To dismantle his advantage in field manipulation, they had even buried enormous quantities of lodestones here, disrupting his ability to set up traps en route.

Chu Feng was like a human-shaped wild dragon, charging headlong with unstoppable momentum, until he reached the magnificent, colossal altar, reminiscent of an ancient mountain.

He immediately began to ascend. Here, he intended to achieve his Dao. In the Chains Realm, he had accumulated energy and unlocked abilities akin to divine powers. The Free and Unrestrained Realm, however, required him to shed all exotic techniques, becoming like primordial chaos, or rather, a blank canvas upon which he would himself inscribe the foundational blueprint of his future.

This was the very place where ancient Holy Emperors and their ancestors offered sacrifices to heaven—a site of immense grandeur and unparalleled power.

Above, a hundred planets shone brightly, illuminating all the heavens!

In that very instant, Chu Feng was profoundly moved; his body and soul trembled as he recognized his true path. The foundational blueprint of his grand Dao was fully conceptualized, awaiting only the final stroke to be completed in a single flourish.

"Where do you think you're going?!" a group of people roared from behind.

"He's entered the secret realm; he can't escape. Guard the exit; it's like catching a turtle in a jar!"

Behind him, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters cast cold, stern gazes, their killing intent surging as they regarded him as good as dead.

"Dream on if you think you'll break through here!" sneered Chen Rong of Penglai Island, determined to prevent Chu Feng from achieving his Dao.

"Holy Daughters? Divine Sons? When my true power blossoms, all your 'flowers' shall wither!" Chu Feng finally turned back, his gaze upon them like streaks of golden lightning.
