Chapter 502: Invincible Scroll Unfolds

Two powerful experts from the Xilin Clan launched their attack!

One of them wore dull bronze armor, and even the bronze sky-halberd he wielded appeared ancient. Yet, despite the antique equipment, the man himself was far from reserved; his purple hair fluttered, and his eyes gleamed like lightning. This young man, with his sky-halberd, charged directly at Chu Feng, certain that Chu Feng possessed the breathing technique he sought.

The other wore brilliant golden battle armor, radiating light as intense as a blazing sun. His resplendent armor was so bright it made it difficult to open one's eyes. His eyes at this moment were terrifying, blazing with light as if he had spotted a rare treasure. Staring intently at Chu Feng, he raised his fist, ready to strike!

The formidable aura emanating from these two masters was terrifying, instilling an oppressive feeling as if one were about to be torn asunder. The faces of everyone on the island paled.

Chu Feng wielded Li Chengfeng's black spear in his left hand and Li Chengyun's silver halberd in his right, swinging them with fierce power. He attacked, using the enemies' own weapons against them.

“Tell me, do you possess the 'Dao Yin'?” the young man in bronze armor demanded, his eyes like cold lightning, his breathing quick and shallow, betraying his intense nervousness. Naturally, he didn't speak aloud but used mental transmission, wary of the information leaking.

Simultaneously, the bronze sky-halberd in his hand swept out, unleashing terrifying force that caused Chu Feng's web of hand to bleed and his black battle spear to nearly fly from his grasp. He stumbled backward. Chu Feng's arms went numb. In a direct clash, he was actually forced to retreat, a testament to the outrageously powerful combat ability of the man in bronze armor! The black spear in his hand trembled, stained with blood that dripped from his hand and flowed down the shaft to the tip, a vivid and striking crimson.

“Speak, or I will cleave you to death instantly!” the young man in bronze armor bellowed mentally. The next moment, he swung the bronze sky-halberd. It carried the phantom image of a ferocious beast, a roaring Tao Tie, seemingly intent on devouring Chu Feng's spirit and body.

Chu Feng was thrown backward by the impact, his fingers slick with blood. Both the black spear in his left hand and the gleaming halberd in his right almost flew from his grip. At this moment, he finally understood why this individual was so incredibly powerful: he transcended the Free-and-Easy realm, being an evolutionist at the Contemplation stage.

On the island, the faces of the Divine Sons and Saintesses changed drastically. How could such a person cross dimensions? How did he even get here?

Just then, the young man in golden armor also attacked, his right fist glowing with a terrifying brilliance, like a blossoming sun that was impossible to look at directly. In a dizzying moment, it truly seemed as if a celestial sun had descended, burning fiercely and unleashing surging golden flames. The seawater was violently agitated, a large area instantly evaporating to reveal the seabed. This was the authentic Great Sun Fist, its power unbelievably demonic.

The gleaming halberd in Chu Feng's hand wailed. Under the force of that punch, the weapon was bent into an arc, almost resembling a bow, its power truly astonishing. As for Chu Feng's hands, they were even more blood-stained. He retreated, his eyes narrowed with a cold glint.

This was truly unexpected; there were actually two evolutionists at the Contemplation stage!

“Tell me, is the 'Dao Yin' on you? Dare to refuse, and I will beat you to death instantly!” the young man in golden armor coldly demanded with mental force. He stood on the surface of the sea, appearing as if he were inside a golden sun—brilliant and intense, his entire form obscured, visible only as a blinding orb of light.

“They truly are evolutionists at the Contemplation stage!” many on the island exclaimed. At this moment, the Primeval Beast platform was abuzz with activity. Everyone realized Chu Feng was in grave danger. This was a gap of an entire major realm, incredibly difficult to bridge.

“The Xilin Clan is truly ruthless. They actually sent Contemplation-level beings over ahead of time. The cost must have been immense. Was it all just to kill Chu Feng?” People were deeply moved. Though originally bloodlines from the same planet, they had diverged long ago and now found themselves locked in fierce conflict once more.

“It's over for him. Chu Feng is indeed extraordinary, but against an evolutionist at the Contemplation stage, there's no way he can survive; there's no path to life!” “As expected of the Xilin Clan, always cold and ruthless. If they say they will kill Chu Feng, they will certainly do so, giving him no quarter. With two Contemplation-level beings, there's no suspense; this is utter domination!” Everyone witnessing this scene was astonished. The Xilin Clan's methods remained as cold and terrifying as ever, never stopping until their objective was achieved.

On the surface of the sea, the young man in bronze armor spoke, conversing with his companion. “Li Chengfeng insisted on a decisive battle with the prey and ultimately perished. That has nothing to do with us.”

The young man in golden battle armor nodded. “Indeed, they were too arrogant. Their deaths in battle here are no fault of ours. Now, we will finish what they started.” Immediately, people recognized the underlying issue: discord among the Xilin Clan members. No wonder they had attacked individually. Presently, the words of these two Contemplation-stage beings were laced with coldness. They displayed no sorrow or indignation over the deaths of the other two, remaining remarkably calm.

On the surface of the sea, Chu Feng’s hands bled, his gaze cold and distant. “How did you two get here?!” he asked. He was genuinely surprised; even figures like Fu Huang and Yuan Mo had to cripple themselves to cross dimensions, yet these two Xilin Clan experts had arrived completely intact.

The young man in golden battle armor said with a faint smile, “You barbarian, do you think our Xilin Clan is completely disregarded just because we left this planet? No. After all, we still possess the bloodline of this place, making it easier for us to cross dimensions than other races. Coupled with the assistance of a Saint, there’s naturally a certain chance of success! Get over here! With your Free-and-Easy realm strength, do you truly intend to fight us?!”

The young man in bronze armor spoke up. “Let me handle this. Your Great Sun Fist is too violent. What if you accidentally shatter him into a mist of blood? That wouldn't be ideal. Saint Wei has decreed that we capture him alive if possible.”

“No, I’ll do it. You’re wielding a sky-halberd; don’t accidentally sever his head!”

These two actually began squabbling over who would make the move, completely disregarding Chu Feng. However, given their current cultivation levels, they certainly had the right to be so confident. It was perfectly normal for Contemplation to suppress Free-and-Easy; this wasn't a mere difference of one or two shackles, but an entire major realm, a full evolutionary stage!

“That’s enough, both of you!” Chu Feng declared. With a flick of his hand, he draped the kasaya over himself, and immediately, brilliant red light radiated, interwoven with golden patterns. He intended to use the 'Equality of All Beings' domain, hidden within the kasaya, to pull both opponents down to his level, then eliminate them!

However, the two remained remarkably calm, completely unconcerned. They produced a banner, upon which the Daoist Yin-Yang symbol shimmered indistinctly. “Hmm?!” Cold sweat trickled down Chu Feng's face. The kasaya had become ineffective; the 'Equality of All Beings' domain was suppressed and rendered useless.

“Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘The Dao is a foot higher’?” the man in bronze armor sneered mockingly. Chu Feng sighed. Both ‘The Dao is a foot higher’ and ‘The Devil is a yard taller’ were unique domains, each possessing its own profound mysteries. There was no doubt that the former now suppressed his 'Equality of All Beings' domain.

And then, Chu Feng decisively… fled!

People were stunned. Given Demon King Chu’s personality, he actually fled so decisively? He truly wasted no time; everyone had expected him to put up a desperate fight.

“You still think you can escape!” The two sneered, immediately giving chase. The two were surprised. It was proving remarkably difficult for Contemplation-stage beings to pursue a Free-and-Easy realm opponent; they almost lost him. Chu Feng, having only recently learned the 'Ends of the Earth, Inches Away' technique, nearly managed to shake off his pursuers, but ultimately, he still lacked some mastery.

On Peach Blossom Island, many people followed in pursuit. On the Primeval Beast platform, many were also watching, realizing this could be Chu Feng’s final day. No one had anticipated that his ambushers would ultimately be two Contemplation-stage evolutionists.

“Tell me, do you have the 'Dao Yin' on you?!” From behind, the young man in bronze armor’s mental roar was fierce, assailing Chu Feng’s mind. However, after Chu Feng activated his breathing technique, his vital energy merged with his spirit, protecting his mind and leaving him unharmed.

“Just as I thought, it must be the 'Dao Yin'. Otherwise, my mental martial arts would surely have wounded him!”

“Let me finish him. No need for weapons; it's best to capture him bare-handed!” The young man in golden battle armor chuckled, his teeth gleaming as he stood enveloped in a dazzling golden light.

Chu Feng stopped, summoned his tattered painting scroll, and ambushed the two. The man holding the bronze sky-halberd turned back with an indifferent gaze. Raising his hand, he summoned a damaged bronze miniature seal, which rapidly expanded to the size of a mountain, confronting the scroll. They were exceptionally well-prepared, firmly restraining Chu Feng and denying him any opportunity.

“Then you go ahead,” the man in bronze armor said, activating the damaged bronze seal. “I will guard against that scroll.”

“Haha, excellent! The credit will be ours alone. If the 'Dao Yin' truly exists, we’ll be the first to witness it!” the man in golden armor secretly responded.

Then, he looked at Chu Feng, the golden light around him intensifying further. He introduced himself, saying, “My name is Huang Sheng!” He was composed and unhurried, steadily advancing towards Chu Feng.

“You barbarian, you savage! Are you not going to come here? Are you truly waiting for me to personally suppress you?!” Huang Sheng roared.

Chu Feng no longer fled. The 'Ends of the Earth, Inches Away' technique he had just learned was not yet fully mastered, making it less effective against Contemplation-stage beings and difficult to escape them.

“You cold-blooded bastards of the Xilin Clan, today, I will make you understand that even if you are an entire stage above me, I will still kill you all!”

“Haha, how ridiculous! Who do you think you are, the foremost under the starry sky? You dare to defy the heavens when you’re an entire major realm below me?!” As Huang Sheng spoke, his entire body burst with light and he completely vanished, leaving only a brilliant orb of light, like a scorching sun! He charged forward, his fist erupting with dazzling golden light that distorted space, engulfing the area, and blasting directly at Chu Feng.

The fist print of a Contemplation-stage evolutionist was nothing short of a fatal blow for a Free-and-Easy realm counterpart. If struck, one would likely explode on the spot! This was the Great Sun Fist! This boxing technique was incredibly fierce and domineering, unparalleled in its might; it could literally incinerate the sky and boil the seas!

At this moment, Chu Feng retreated, yet at a crucial juncture, he also threw a punch, lightly touching the energy ripples of the Great Sun Fist before rapidly retreating once more. During this exchange, his hand bled, and he sustained injuries.

“You dare to fight an enemy a whole major realm above you? Ridiculous!” Huang Sheng declared coldly, throwing another punch. Ten thousand golden lights enveloped the area, and the entire world roared in response.

The Divine Sons and Saintesses on the island all followed, watching the battle, and were now quite surprised. This was because Chu Feng, using 'Ends of the Earth, Inches Away', constantly moved his body, continually brushing against the Great Sun Fist’s attacks. Although blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, he held on and was not obliterated.

At this moment, Chu Feng’s heart gradually calmed. His willingness to stop for a decisive battle stemmed from a certain confidence, and now he was even comprehending a marvelous technique. It was the Ox Demon Fist, now returning to its fundamental essence. Chu Feng was experiencing this marvelous technique, which contained the power of resonance within the evolutionary domain. Its destructive potential was immense; if utilized properly, it could absolutely allow the weak to overcome the strong.

Resonance: its power was terrifying. If true resonance was achieved, a very small force, as long as it could continuously resonate, would be sufficient to destroy incredibly formidable objects. For instance, in the human world, if an army crosses a bridge with perfectly synchronized footsteps, the resulting resonance can be enough to destroy a sturdy bridge, causing it to collapse. Theoretically, an ordinary person standing before a building, if they could achieve a specific rhythm and tap it consistently, could also cause another building to collapse.

The marvelous technique Chu Feng was now comprehending was not aimed at inanimate objects, but at powerful living beings, enabling destructive, resonance-like attacks within the evolutionary domain. He immediately understood why the Ox Demon Fist was described as devastating, its explosive power seemingly terrifying: it was because resonance within the evolutionary domain was immensely destructive.

The next moment, Huang Sheng frowned, as his terrifying Great Sun Fist felt oddly sluggish and was being resisted by Chu Feng. Chu Feng’s eyes gleamed brightly. This marvelous technique was indeed extraordinary, its effect astounding. Once the resonance of the evolutionary domain was unleashed, it could completely enable the weak to overcome the strong! In that brief moment, Chu Feng’s fist print vibrated according to a specific pattern, constantly clashing with the Great Sun Fist, yet he did not fall into disadvantage.

“How is this possible?!” Huang Sheng exclaimed in shock. He was a Contemplation-stage evolutionist; killing a Free-and-Easy realm cultivator should be incredibly simple, a guaranteed kill! Yet now, he was entirely on the defensive. Blood seeped from his fist, and several times, his fist was severely damaged by the resonance within the evolutionary domain, nearly shattering.

Chu Feng was pleasantly surprised. He had extracted the fundamental core essence of the Ox Demon Fist. The 'Dao Yin' had played an utterly crucial role, stealing the essence of the boxing technique, stealing heavenly secrets! Undoubtedly, if the marvelous technique he had acquired were to be fully perfected, its power would be boundless and terrifying. No wonder it was said that the seven boxing techniques born from that mysterious tree, when united, would form an invincible art. Even this single technique alone was incomparably terrifying, enough to shock the world.

Huang Sheng couldn't comprehend how Chu Feng was able to withstand his Great Sun Fist; it defied all logic. Not wanting any unexpected outcomes, he immediately deployed his trump card.

“Suppress!”

With a thunderous roar, his Contemplation Dao Fruit and his ink-splashed painting scroll materialized simultaneously, pressing down on Chu Feng, intent on crippling him. Using vital energy as paper and spirit as ink, Chu Feng’s own peerless ink-splashed painting scroll also unfurled, shaking violently. The top hundred celestial bodies reflecting all heavens appeared, the vast universe blurred, and merged as one with Chu Feng.

With a powerful jolt, his invincible painting scroll emerged, tearing and destroying everything in its path. Even someone as strong as Huang Sheng couldn't resist. With a resounding crash, Huang Sheng's painting, depicting a floating golden sun, directly exploded and was utterly destroyed. As a result, Huang Sheng's body was riddled with dense cracks, like shattered porcelain that had suffered a tremendous impact.

“How is this possible?!” he shrieked, his face contorted with terror. What kind of monstrous prodigy had he encountered, capable of striking down a Contemplation-stage being while still in the Free-and-Easy realm? His scalp tingled. This indigenous individual before him was unbelievably heaven-defying! Back then, figures like Wei Heng, the ninth strongest under the starry sky, could achieve such feats. But this was merely an indigenous individual, from an unconventional background. How could he possibly be capable of this?!

Chu Feng charged straight through, tearing Huang Sheng apart. In his final moments, Huang Sheng’s face was etched with despair. He was a Contemplation-stage evolutionist, yet he had been utterly swept away and slain by someone from the Free-and-Easy realm.
