Apart from the rising smoke and dust, the area around the altar was silent.
Even his opponents were wide-eyed and speechless, standing there. What was the meaning of this? Did he fall on purpose, waiting for them to rush in, only to ambush them?!
None of them dared to make a move, each one filled with suspicion and uncertainty, their bodies frozen in place.
On the Primeval Beast Platform, there was indeed absolute silence, not a sound to be heard. It was too quiet.
Just moments before, it had been a cacophony, but in an instant, all noise abruptly ceased. Everyone was dumbfounded, watching the scene, feeling that it was utterly bizarre.
Only moments earlier, many had been clamoring with jealousy and admiration, remarking on how Chu Feng had pioneered a unique and powerful energy form, displaying extraordinary poise and vigor.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, he plunged headfirst, creating a human-shaped crater amidst all the acclaim.
Finally, someone on the Primeval Beast Platform burst into gloating laughter. Such a formidable Chu Feng had actually stumbled headfirst at such a crucial moment.
"What's going on? Is this a trap, or is he genuinely weakened? Could his body be depleted, making him unable to sustain a long battle?" someone asked suspiciously.
Still others exclaimed, "This guy is too weird! Not only can he smash people with stone balls, but when he's powerful, he can even throw himself around! This isn't something an ordinary person can do. Haven't you seen? He even made a human-shaped crater in the sacrificial ground!"
Someone else nodded earnestly in agreement, saying, "He's truly formidable, a ruthless individual. At a crucial moment, he can absolutely hurl even himself!"
"You utter morons!" Such were Chu Feng's thoughts.
He coughed in the swirling dust as he clambered out of the human-shaped crater, cursing inwardly. This was incredibly ill-timed; he was supposed to be looking down on his enemies, displaying his majestic prowess, but instead... he’d fallen into a pit!
At that moment, Yuwen Feng, Chen Rong, Lie Shan, and the others suddenly realized he hadn't been faking it at all. His body was truly too weak, causing him to collapse into the dust.
Some individuals' eyes glinted menacingly. That had been a perfect opportunity; if they had charged forward, they could most likely have easily eliminated Chu Feng.
But they had missed their chance.
Now, as they watched him rise, despite his emaciated and frail appearance, they knew he could still put up a desperate fight.
Judging by their reactions, they harbored apprehension towards Chu Feng. He had been too savage moments earlier, flinging large stones everywhere, with countless stone balls rolling forth, crippling Yuan Kun and sending Zhu Wuque flying with broken bones and torn tendons. It was too brutal and wild.
He was simply like those monsters from isolated, desolate star domains.
There existed planets like that, which rejected technological products and disallowed interstellar network coverage. Yet, the individuals there were terrifyingly powerful; some descendants of Saints had even been massacred by the savage gods who emerged from those places, whose style was exceedingly crude.
At this moment, although the Divine Sons and Saintesses had cold glints in their eyes and longed to kill Chu Feng immediately, they dared not act rashly. Some even began to consider retreating.
At their level, their instincts were usually accurate, and they sensed something unsettling about Chu Feng. If they continued to fight to the death, even if they managed to kill him, it would come at a significant cost.
However, if they simply left now, their reputations would surely plummet once the news spread. To have cornered a native only to let him escape unscathed would be an utter failure.
Outside this domain, Saints like Jun Tuo and Yin Jiuque watched with grim expressions. A mere native, yet he repeatedly stirred up trouble.
Someone broke the rules, directly transmitting a command from beyond the domain, ordering the Divine Sons and Saintesses present to make their move.
Of course, it wasn't the Saints themselves who spoke, but their attendant Dao children.
Jun Tuo's Dao child, holding a snow-white conch – a secret treasure bestowed by a Saint – used it to transmit his voice, which clearly reverberated throughout the Fengchan Land.
"He is now formidable in appearance but inwardly weak, extremely feeble! This is an excellent opportunity to eliminate him!"
Upon hearing these words, Chu Feng's eyes flashed with cold light. This wasn't the first time he'd heard that voice; it had appeared when the Machine Race and Xilin Race were pursuing him, constantly directing their forces to his escape routes, leaving him with nowhere to run.
Now, this Dao child was speaking again, brazenly interfering in the battle.
Although Yaoyao and her uncles had no formal agreement with these individuals, they had tacitly agreed on certain unstated terms, and thus had refrained from further intervention.
In fact, it was incredibly difficult for those from beyond the domain to intervene directly.
Yet now, Jun Tuo's Dao child had reappeared, determined to interfere. This was clearly overstepping. The Saint's actions were utterly disgraceful; to resort to such means just to kill a junior was truly shameless.
Naturally, they had employed some tricks. Jun Tuo had secretly acted, instantly blocking the Primeval Beast Platform's divine surveillance and other systems, ensuring his Dao child's interference went undetected.
However, they deliberately let Chu Feng hear it, making it clear to him that this was an act of blatant contempt. They wanted to show him that they could trample upon the so-called balance, and there was nothing he could do about it.
The effect was obvious. Some Divine Sons and Saintesses, who had originally wavered and considered withdrawing from the secret realm to better prepare before dealing with Chu Feng, now remained, determined to besiege and kill the weakened Chu Feng.
"Jun Tuo, you old bastard!" Chu Feng cursed directly, not caring in the least whether the target was an ancient Saint or a Quasi-Saint.
Then, he yelled at Yuwen Feng, Lie Shan, Qi Yu, Zihuan, and others: "Stop!"
Without another word, he then pulled the Silver Turtle out of his spatial bottle, decisively and swiftly refining some ancestral blood imbued with divine properties!
He poured it into his mouth and swallowed it, hoping to replenish his weakened body.
Furthermore, he directly conjured energy flames and began roasting this mixed-blood descendant of a Star Core Turtle, preparing to eat it.
The Silver Turtle shrieked. Though crippled and near death, being treated as food still made it agitated.
"Jun Tuo, your grandpa is roasting a turtle right now. What are you going to do about it? And this is just a preview; later, I will certainly roast you!"
Chu Feng had completely thrown caution to the wind. Since his opponent was so shameless, repeatedly targeting him in the guise of a Saint, there was no need for politeness. He would brazenly slap Jun Tuo's face.
On the Primeval Beast Platform, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances. This was truly… if a disagreement arose, he'd just start eating! Ancient Saint Jun Tuo was simply too unlucky to have provoked him!
Beyond the domain, chaos churned near Jun Tuo's war chariot. A surge of fury truly swelled within him. Could he not even kill a mere native?
Jun Tuo's voice resonated from deep within a renowned mountain as he chastised the Silver Turtle's elder brother, "Silver Divine Son, your own brother has been eaten, and you remain so composed!"
"Ancestor, I will now step onto the star path and enter the main space of this planet to kill him!" the Silver Divine Son declared, kowtowing within the folded space, his body ablaze with silver light.
"Wait a moment," Jun Tuo transmitted coldly. "I will bestow upon you a special set of armor. Go and kill him once you can fully wield it!"
At the Fengchan Land, before the altar.
Killing intent surged to the heavens as Lie Shan, Yuwen Feng, Zhan He, and others closed in, determined to kill Chu Feng.
Even Chen Rong, covering her mouth, was furiously giving orders, arranging for several ancient domain artifacts to be repositioned and deployed for a decisive strike.
She couldn't even grit her teeth, her front teeth having been knocked out and her nose broken. At this moment, her expression was sinister. For a woman who prided herself on her beauty, this was an unforgivable offense.
Zhu Wuque approached again, saying, "Kill him! What is this stone energy form? It's merely brute force, and we were simply caught off guard for a moment. The time for the hunt has arrived; slaughter this native!"
He incited the others, desperate for Chu Feng not to survive. The energy form displayed by this "rebel," as he saw him, was too wicked today, which made him profoundly uneasy.
He had a premonition that if they couldn't seize this opportunity to kill Chu Feng today, it would become even more difficult later.
Furthermore, he was suspicious about what kind of evolutionary blueprint Chu Feng had truly manifested. Could it possibly be a peerless masterpiece from the starry skies? Despite his disbelief, he couldn't shake a certain apprehension.
Prince Qi Yu of Great Qi, his eyes dark, intended to kill Chu Feng. At the same time, he curried favor with the Saint of the Star Core Turtle Race, declaring, "Kill him! How dare he be so arrogant and humiliate the descendant of a Saint? Immediately slaughter this insane native!"
A group of people closed in, unwilling to watch him roast and eat the Silver Turtle. How could they allow him to recover his vitality? Secret treasures were already whistling through the air, launched directly at him!
Chu Feng said nothing. He slapped the Silver Turtle dead for Jun Tuo to see, then tossed it aside.
With a whoosh, he dodged away, avoiding a direct confrontation. In everyone's eyes, this was naturally a sign of his physical weakness, which was indeed true.
Chu Feng pulled out a purplish-red vermilion fruit and, without hesitation, put it into his mouth. Its rich fragrance filled the air. He was using this sacred medicine to heal his wounds; though it pained him to consume it, he had no other choice.
This fruit had originally been saved for his evolution, but now he had to consume it prematurely.
A red light surged from his body, and his withered frame instantly gained a surge of vitality. Simultaneously, the black and white millstone within him spun frantically, absorbing the energy from this secret realm to replenish his needs.
Chu Feng's expression changed. The primary component in the vermilion fruit was still evolutionary material, which served as an excellent catalyst.
Yet, he didn't want to enhance his physique right now. Any slight evolution would inevitably drain his blood and energy again, leaving him speechless with frustration.
Each evolution was extremely intense, first consuming his internal energy before allowing his body to break its limitations. This was precisely why he felt unbearable hunger every time.
The vermilion fruit could both heal and promote evolution. If his body were strong and his life force abundant, it would be a sacred medicine. But now, it was somewhat dangerous.
"A weak body cannot handle strong tonics"—that perfectly described his current state!
The ideal scenario would be for him to consume the remaining five quasi-divine beast eggs, making his vital energy as vast as the ocean and truly restoring his life force. Then, he could swallow the vermilion fruit without fear, growing stronger with each dose!
Therefore, after swallowing one vermilion fruit, Chu Feng became incredibly cautious. It would be far more suitable for him to consume a Saint Son of a different race right now!
Boom!
He activated over twenty stone balls to block incoming secret treasures and defend himself, then sought out targets without immediately engaging in a full-scale battle.
"Heh, it seems he's truly on his last legs," Saintess Zihuan remarked with a faint smile and a dismissive curl of her lips. "Given his style, if he still had strength, he would be incredibly aggressive." She added, "Using stones as an energy form is simply crude, truly befitting a native from a barbaric planet—utterly unsophisticated."
Hearing this, Chu Feng said nothing. Instead, he directed over twenty stone balls to pile towards her.
"Everyone, hold nothing back! Eliminate him!" roared the Great Qi Prince, already unleashing his ultimate technique, his fist seals blasting forth with resonant dragon roars.
Zhu Wuque, Chen Rong, Yuan Kun, and the others all wore sinister expressions, attacking with their full might.
The twenty-odd stone balls were repelled, unable to advance.
"Let's see how you survive!" Zhu Wuque sneered, now relieved. This opponent was not as terrifying as they had imagined. While he alone might not be a match, a combined attack would surely succeed in hunting him down. He was merely a cornered beast, on the verge of death!
"Heh heh…" From beyond the domain, the cold laughter of a Saint echoed.
This was because, until now, no one knew the exact nature of Chu Feng's energy form, let alone what kind of blueprint he had truly manifested.
Everyone assumed that manifesting twenty-odd crude stone balls was Chu Feng's absolute limit.
Chu Feng's body felt as if it were burning from within as the vermilion fruit's medicinal properties took effect, further depleting his vitality and causing his body to wither even more.
Yet, his combat power was simultaneously increasing, as he was indeed undergoing a slow transformation.
The concept of "a weak body cannot handle strong tonics" was a stark contradiction here.
At the same time, the little black and white millstone within him spun frantically, drawing in massive amounts of energy.
However, what he currently lacked wasn't mere energy, but true life essence – something to replenish his vitality.
This paradoxically led to his strength increasing, even as his body grew increasingly emaciated, like a dried bamboo pole.
"A bunch of ants! I'll kill you all!" Chu Feng roared. His own vital energy was severely depleted, yet energy was surging violently within him.
Under these circumstances, he naturally desired a swift conclusion to the battle.
Chu Feng activated over fifty stone balls in one breath, sending them forward without any fancy maneuvers, simply brutally crushing several of the individuals.
"Aooogh…"
At that moment, the sounds some people made were no longer human. Yuan Kun was in a horrific state, his lower body reduced to a bloody mist.
"How is that possible?!" the Great Qi Prince shrieked.
Then, a few more stone balls appeared, totaling sixty-four. After pulverizing Yuan Kun, they surged towards the Great Qi Prince, overwhelming him.
Stone balls tumbled across the sky; the scene was anything but peaceful, yet it was incredibly effective, a complete and utter crushing. Those energy forms derived from flora couldn't possibly compare to energy forms forged from a hundred stars.
Prince Qi Yu's body exploded, only his head flying off. Clearly, he wouldn't live much longer; his lingering life force merely served to witness the horrors that would unfold.
"Kill them!"
The others were terrified, unable to stop now for fear of being defeated by Chu Feng one by one.
As a result, the number of stone balls before Chu Feng increased further, reaching seventy-two, causing a sense of despair among the onlookers! This was simply too wild; how many crude energy stone balls could he possibly control?
At the same time, people wondered what kind of blueprint he had truly manifested!
A shocking scene unfolded: although Chu Feng's body was overly weak and he staggered, the seventy-two stone balls actually sent an entire group of people flying backward.
Chen Rong shrieked. Among the Divine Sons and Saintesses, she was the weakest, merely there to make up numbers. Her lower body was struck by a stone ball, completely vanishing, and she rolled away, wailing in a pool of blood.
Saint Son Lie Shan, the Pangolin, had one of his hands, transformed into a beast claw, smashed into a bloody, ruined mess.
Zihuan, the proud Bird Race Saintess who had always sneered and mocked Chu Feng as a barbarian, now had her body fractured from the impact, nearly exploding.
"Brother, don't disfigure her! A complete Saintess is more valuable! I'll buy her, I'm placing an order!" someone on the Primeval Beast Platform howled anxiously.
Chu Feng paid no attention to any of that. He would kill if he could right now. Masses of stone balls rolled forward, piling up, demonstrating that sheer force could overcome all, causing Saintess Zihuan to shriek.
She was fleeing, her various secret treasures disintegrating and shattering.
"Damn it! We, experts of the Visualization Realm, self-sacrificed our cultivation just to cross worlds, only to end up in such dire straits!" she lamented, furious and indignant.
Her chin nearly shattered as a stone ball grazed it, sending her flying sideways, her mouth frothing with blood.
"A god-like performance! This guy is too wild! The stone balls, rolling with the force of heavenly winds, are sending a group of Divine Sons and Saintesses flying! Oh my god, this is..."
"This energy form is destined to become renowned throughout the starry sky! I think it's very likely one of the best in recent years. Does it have a chance to climb onto the energy form dark horse list?"
"Highly probable! I wouldn't even doubt it if, one day, it breaks into that terrifying list established by the ten great planets. It's so wild; its potential is clearly immense."
The Primeval Beast Platform erupted into an uproar.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng felt a surge of energy in his body, yet his physical form grew increasingly weak, his life essence depleting. He rushed forward, seized a fierce bird's leg, and immediately began to roast it on the spot, replenishing his vitality.
"Whose was that?" On the Primeval Beast Platform, the crowd stared blankly, utterly astonished.
The recent battle had been chaotic, with blood mists erupting everywhere, Divine Sons retreating, and Saintesses getting injured. No one had seen who lost that leg.
"Ah…"
When Zhu Wuque roared in rage, everyone understood.
"This is too brutal! Chu Feng's name is destined to shake the starry sky—eating a Saint Son-level being in the midst of battle!"
The Primeval Beast Platform was abuzz with excitement.
"I'm actually looking forward to this. His energy form is so terrifying. Could the blueprint he manifested truly be a peerless masterpiece, capable of ranking on that formidable list?"
"An order! I want to place an order!"
