Chapter 497: Alluring Beauty

The island was covered in lush green grass. Tender blossoms adorned the branches of old peach trees, emitting a radiant glow. A warm breeze blew, scattering petals that shimmered with crystalline light, filling the air with a delicate fragrance.

On such a peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful island, one would expect elegant affairs to unfold. Instead, it had become a place of torment where cosmic geniuses were beaten.

Yuan Mo lay under an old peach tree, covered in blood.

Zihuan's face was pale, fearing that she would be the next to be beaten. The thought was unbearable.

Chu Feng's face was beaming with a brilliant smile. He occasionally glanced at Lan Shi, looking quite satisfied, though his smile carried a hint of wickedness.

"Fairy Lan, run! That Demon Chu is preparing to livestream beating you!" Someone in the starry sky sent a warning message to Lan Shi.

This sensational news spread, causing an uproar on the Primal Beast Platform.

People were stunned, unable to believe what they were hearing.

Immediately, some stern voices loudly condemned Chu Feng, calling him a madman.

Yet, vast numbers of evolutionaries let out wolf-like howls, cheering excitedly and urgently hoping that Demon King Chu would dare to make such an outrageous move and seize the cosmic celebrity.

"That's a disciple of the Celestial Music Pure Land, a rising star in the singing world who is destined to become famous throughout the cosmos. Can he really be that bold?!"

"Demon King Chu's character... it's too outrageous, but I like it! Hurry up and act! Grab that rising star who's about to conquer the universe and broadcast it live with passion!"

"Last time I crossed a galaxy just to see Fairy Lan Shi's concert, but the tickets were already sold out, and I saw nothing. Today, I'm in for a treat!"

"Demon Chu, how dare you defile my goddess! I'll kill you!"

Chu Feng hadn't even made a move, yet the Primal Beast Platform was already filled with a mix of cheers and curses, chaotic and noisy.

On the island, peach blossoms danced in the air, each petal sparkling.

Initially, Lan Shi had remained aloof, her expression soft and serene, greeting everyone with a sweet, gentle smile.

However, her face changed when her optical computer flashed with warnings from many acquaintances. In an instant, she understood what was happening.

At her level, she was destined to become a cosmic celebrity. Once she performed, wherever she went, people would flock to see her. For social engagements, she would frequent the mansions of saints and associate with the chosen ones and royal heirs of the most powerful orthodoxies.

Therefore, she was extremely careful about her image. Even if she were to retire in the future, with her fame across the starry sky, she would undoubtedly marry into a prestigious family and become the Dao partner of a saint's descendant.

Now, suddenly hearing that the demon before her intended to target her, a divine light flashed deep within Lan Shi's beautiful eyes!

In truth, Chu Feng was conflicted. Although he had such a thought, he was truly embarrassed to act, especially since Lan Shi hadn't provoked him.

If she were as wild as Yuan Mo, telling Chu Feng to get lost the moment they met, then there would be nothing to say—he'd just beat her until she burst.

Yuan Mo was still lying on the ground, barely alive, so badly beaten he was unrecognizable.

Chu Feng's fluctuating gaze, sometimes glowing with divine light, sometimes vacant, and his occasional glances towards Lan Shi, instantly made everyone believe he was about to make his move.

Lan Shi herself thought so. The fierce glint in the demon's eyes, targeting her, was unforgivable in her view.

She possessed a beauty that could make fish sink and wild geese fall, and flowers feel ashamed. Coupled with her perfect, ethereal voice, she was destined to quickly become famous across the starry sky. Her ultimate destination should be one of the top ten stellar worlds, perhaps marrying a Dao Son or a Heavenly God Son. She absolutely did not want to be tainted by Chu Feng and tarnish her reputation.

Then, Lan Shi decisively made her move!

Her figure was graceful, her smile sweet, truly a beauty unparalleled in the starry sky. Yet, her sudden attack was terrifyingly powerful.

A tattered scroll unfurled, resembling a landscape painting with towering mountains, mighty rivers, vast forests, and fog-shrouded swamps.

It transformed into a realistic scene, covering Chu Feng and suppressing him.

"Subdue the demon!" Lan Shi lightly commanded.

In an instant, her blue dress fluttered, accentuating her shapely figure, making her appear even more beautiful as she stood in mid-air.

The scroll she unleashed, though half-rotted, glowed brightly, still suppressing Chu Feng and drawing him into it. The scene was horrifying.

The speed of events took everyone by surprise. Demon King Chu had not yet acted, but Lan Shi suddenly attacked and even succeeded.

Undoubtedly, Lan Shi's decisive strike, subduing Chu Feng in such a manner, would surely become a celebrated tale across the cosmos. Even Yuan Mo, the demonic son capable of hunting down a planet, was brutally beaten, while Lan Shi had subdued a demon. Her actions were undeniably glorious!

"As expected of the goddess in my heart! Although she appears exquisitely alluring, once she makes a decision, she is so firm and courageous. She actually captured Demon King Chu!"

"This is completely unexpected! Everyone feared him and dared not act, but Fairy Lan Shi stepped forward alone to subdue the demon. Truly, her demeanor is unparalleled!"

The Primal Beast Platform erupted in chaos and jubilation.

Some people expressed regret, lamenting that they hadn't seen Chu Feng capture this peerless beauty; instead, she had subdued him. Some had even wanted to bid for this rising star of the singing world.

Lan Shi's fans were first shocked, then overjoyed, celebrating excitedly and praising her action as a stroke of genius.

Clearly, the scroll was unusual, a powerful artifact. It couldn't have been brought from the star road; it must have been unearthed from some ruins on Earth.

It was a pity that most of it was rotten. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how powerful it must have been in its prime.

On the island, within the peach forest, everyone was also stunned. Even Yuan Mo had suffered so terribly, yet the stunningly beautiful Lan Shi had succeeded, causing a group of people to gasp in disbelief.

Inside the scroll, Chu Feng was pinned down by a massive mountain. His bones groaned and creaked under the weight.

He grunted, his whole body glowing as he circulated his breathing technique, powerfully resisting the mountain, attempting to hurl it away!

However, old seals on the mountain glowed, instantly increasing the pressure on him. His flesh seemed about to burst, and blood seeped from his pores.

"Rise!"

Chu Feng roared, white mist spewing from his mouth and nose as his breathing technique activated. Energy surged through his body, making his skin and even his hair glow with a crystalline radiance.

Finally, he shattered the mountain. Like a demon god, he burst forth from the earth, stone, and dust, his eyes blazing with fire as he searched for an exit.

Chu Feng sensed danger. This was a miniature world, and it was shrinking. Once it transformed back into a scroll, he would become a figure trapped within the painting, unable to escape!

Indeed, it possessed terrifying spatial power. However, the scroll was too severely damaged, half of it rotted away, meaning its interior had essentially collapsed and been destroyed.

Otherwise, if this scroll were fully intact, both Chu Feng and even stronger beings in the visualization realm would be drawn in and instantly crushed to ashes.

Even so, Chu Feng was subjected to terrifying forces, constrained and on the verge of being immobilized.

With his fiery golden eyes, he sought a path to escape. Soon, two dazzling beams of light shot from his eyes, revealing a broken exit in the distance.

That was the decayed part of the scroll, the only path to escape.

If it weren't for him possessing fiery golden eyes to perceive it, anyone else trapped within the scroll would surely be suppressed there, unable to find a way out.

Even after discovering the escape route, Chu Feng faced many dangers. In that very instant, several towering mountains rose from the ground, enveloped in black mist, and bore down on him.

The pressure was terrifying!

Each mountain seemed capable of cracking the sky. Faintly, they transformed into ancient seals!

Chu Feng was alarmed. These mountains indeed had a profound origin. Field symbols were engraved within them; they were not just mountains but also weapons, like "Earth Suppressing Seals"!

Undoubtedly, the energy unleashed by the descent of these great seals was enough to effortlessly kill cultivators in the Free Realm.

"Kill!"

With his fiery golden eyes, Chu Feng saw that this place was a self-contained miniature world, densely covered with field patterns that concealed all auras and isolated it from the outside. Therefore, he held nothing back, unleashing his ultimate move.

This was the first time he had displayed his astonishing scroll, painted with his lifeblood as paper and his spirit as ink. The strongest hundred stars appeared, the cosmos vague and vast, merging with his blood energy to become one with him.

As Chu Feng stirred, the peerless scroll unfurled, shaking violently as if it could shatter everything. With a thunderous roar, it pulverized the suppressing mountains into dust.

Chu Feng surged forward. Along the way, rivers of energy rushed towards him, but with a display of his invincible scroll, the rivers were instantly evaporated!

When swamps tried to trap him, the shaking of the hundred stars caused the great marshes to shatter!

Chu Feng sped through like lightning. Having just learned "Horizon's Edge," he moved with incredible speed, crossing vast mountain forests and bursting out, breaking free from the rotten part of the scroll!

The next moment, the entire landscape shrunk, re-condensing into a scroll. It was truly a narrow escape; Chu Feng was just one step away from becoming a mere scene within the painting.

Had that happened, he would have been like meat on a chopping block, his life in someone else's hands.

Chu Feng grabbed the old scroll as it fell from mid-air. His black hair fluttered, and his eyes flashed with cold lightning.

The entire island fell silent.

The Primal Beast Platform, which had been buzzing with activity, also instantly quieted. Chu Feng had escaped unharmed, which truly surpassed everyone's expectations!

Lan Shi stood in the distance, highly vigilant. When she unleashed the scroll, she had made all sorts of preparations. If successful, she could retrieve the scroll later; if she failed, she could calmly retreat.

Upon seeing Chu Feng truly break free, a scroll in her hand glowed, transforming into brilliant, dazzling light that enveloped her. Like an immortal ascending, she was about to teleport away.

This was an ancient scroll, a "遁器" (escape artifact), capable of transporting people, ignoring space, directly thousands of miles away, or even into the starry sky.

"Suppress!"

Chu Feng roared, unfurling the tattered scroll in his hand and forcefully activating it. It covered the sky, intending to draw Lan Shi in.

"How dare you!" A cold shout came from the depths of the starry sky, but alas, the distance was too great for any threat to be effective.

"The woman favored by the Young God, you dare to suppress her?! You're seeking death!"

On the Primal Beast Platform, members with golden accounts threatened Chu Feng, yelling at him.

However, this was still useless. Even if Chu Feng had noticed, he would have ignored it and acted as he pleased.

The tattered scroll, covering the sky, engulfed the area.

Nevertheless, the ancient scroll was also astonishing. Its radiant light surged, intense and daunting, forming dense field symbols that enveloped Lan Shi's body. She struggled to break free and escape into the distance.

Others could no longer see them; both ancient artifacts contained extraordinary field runes that disrupted the heavens, causing even the extraterrestrial "Heaven's Eye" monitoring systems to fail.

Only Chu Feng, at close range, with his fiery golden eyes, could see clearly.

Swish, swish, swish…

The half-missing, tattered scroll possessed an astonishing suction force, attempting to draw Lan Shi in. The other scroll glowed in resistance, but ultimately, Lan Shi's long dress, jade hairpin, and other items were pulled off and sucked into the scroll.

Then, various fragmented items on her, including her undergarments, also came off her body.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. Before him was virtually a "great white sheep," enveloped by the dazzling light from the scroll, without a single thread of clothing, pure white. All her garments had been stripped away by the tattered scroll.

Her body was like ivory sculpture, pure white and crystalline, with undulating curves, exceptionally perfect. Even with her back to Chu Feng, her graceful contours were evident.

Chu Feng, rather impolitely, commented at that moment, saying, "Now this is truly a beauty that can bring down cities and kingdoms. Much better than when she was wearing clothes!"
