Chapter 517: Evolution and the Creation of the East China Sea

The Divine Liquid had a miraculous effect, allowing Chu Feng to eliminate all hidden risks. His body glowed golden, a radiance that did not fade for a long time. A mysterious force was purifying his physical form, and even his spirit became increasingly pure, making him feel ethereal. His hair turned golden and shimmered with light. From a distance, he looked like a deity!

After a considerable time, the golden light on Chu Feng's body gradually faded. He felt a profound transformation; his flesh, bones, muscles, and spirit were all in peak condition. When he self-examined, he found himself as clear as crystal. This was a baptism! Chu Feng smiled, stretching his limbs. He was increasingly satisfied as his physical constitution had ascended to its peak state.

Afterward, he prepared to evolve outside the Immovable Mountain. He took out a Flat Peach, so vibrant it seemed to drip with freshness. He took a bite, and immediately, juice flowed, emitting a radiant glow. If anyone had seen this, their eyes would have surely widened in disbelief—this was a divine medicine! The rich fragrance spread for an unknown number of miles!

A propitious light rose from Chu Feng's body, and crimson rays emanated from within him. Suddenly, he shone with a brilliant radiance, enveloped in a dense curtain of light. The activity of his cells across his entire body increased, beginning a metamorphosis and another evolution! With the hidden dangers resolved, he had no more reservations. He consumed the great Flat Peach medicine to enhance his physique and achieve a super evolution.

After the Flat Peach was consumed, Chu Feng still felt uneasy. He then ate several deep-red Vermillion Fruits. His mouth filled with fragrant, rich juice, giving him the illusion that he would ascend into the heavens.

Next, Chu Feng's transformation was astonishing. The divine light suddenly receded inwards. Then, his skin all over his body became dry and lost its luster, followed by faint crackling sounds. However, within his body, his cell activity grew even stronger, bursting forth. His life force surged like a volcanic eruption. Soon after, Chu Feng's dull skin cracked, followed by faint crisp sounds. With a rustling sound, a layer of old skin shed from his body, radiating a brilliant glow. This kind of metamorphosis was somewhat startling, like a snake shedding its skin to grow its body.

Chu Feng's height did not change, but his physical body became like jade—crystalline and tough. Every inch of him radiated divine light, making him increasingly powerful. This evolution no longer involved breaking shackles, but it still significantly enhanced his physique and nourished his spirit. All the old skin on his body had shed. Even his hair was replaced, which was astonishing. Now, his body was more translucent and flawless than that of many beauties. His long hair was black and shiny, reaching his waist.

Chu Feng's body glowed. His vitality was vigorous, and his pores emitted a brilliant radiance, as if he was cloaked in divine glory, encircled by a dazzling halo. This made him feel a powerful and unparalleled strength. Every movement he made, every lift of his hand or foot, contained terrifying destructive power. At his forehead, a light flame pulsed. It was his spirit, nearly materialized. This made his perception even sharper, allowing him to effortlessly move increasingly larger and heavier objects from a distance. Undoubtedly, as a result, when he used his mental combat techniques, his power would also greatly increase!

The evolution continued. After passing the initial stage, subtle changes followed, allowing him to truly feel his body's vitality continuously increasing. The Freedom Realm had no so-called shackles, nor was it divided into dozens of levels; it was quite simple. Chu Feng instantly leaped from the initial stage to the middle-to-late stage of the Freedom Realm.

Unfortunately, the Flat Peach and other medicines had been harvested too long ago and displayed for too many years. Many of their active components had severely deteriorated. Otherwise, a truly freshly picked divine medicine, once consumed, would have had far more than just this effect! Moreover, these were not fruits from the ancestral Flat Peach tree. Otherwise, even if he couldn't ascend to the heavens, it would still have thoroughly transformed him, allowing his life level to continuously make great leaps!

But Chu Feng was already content. If he had truly bypassed the Freedom Realm, problems would have arisen, as he would have lacked the necessary experiences. Now, he was taking one step at a time; even though his evolution was rapid and swift, it was still very solid because he was personally undergoing every process. He still had Vermillion Fruits and other items on him, but he did not consume them further. He needed to fully comprehend the changes. Even if it meant staying in the middle-to-late stage of the Freedom Realm for only ten days or half a month, he needed to halt his progress.

“I must not miss a single level, and thoroughly experience each one. Only by refining myself this way can my foundation be solid, allowing me to go further.”

For the next day, he spent adapting to his body's changes, and his physical constitution was still slowly improving. His evolution had not completely finished.

Chu Feng's body trembled slightly as he displayed his Ink-splatter Scroll. It slowly unfurled, revealing an invincible chapter. The improvements at this level were multifaceted, and naturally, they could not bypass the scroll crafted with life-blood as paper and spirit as ink. All one hundred powerful stellar bodies contained living beings within them, accompanied by various strange phenomena. Some stellar bodies had Chaotic Lotus Ponds, others were golden pages known as the Wordless Heavenly Book, and still others... The beings, accompanied by their respective scrolls, slowly unfurled, imprinted within the stellar bodies, and revolved around his true form. When Chu Feng attacked and moved his body, the scroll accompanied him, sweeping away everything and pulverizing all in its path!

However, this was the Immovable Mountain, where he could not cause excessive destruction, otherwise, major problems would arise. Chu Feng stared at the scroll, further refining it, making it increasingly clear and incredibly real, and its destructive power even greater. The last time he fought against Yu Jiubian, he had not even used his own invincible scroll. He didn't want to expose it too early. He planned to use it on the Primordial Beast Platform to fight opponents of the same realm and hunt saints!

“It will be very difficult, I imagine,” Chu Feng murmured. “After all, they are peak saints. Over countless years, they have already refined every level of their evolution to a state of perfect flawlessness.” He knew that if he were to truly face the Ninth under the starry sky, it would be too dangerous; he might die! Therefore, he could only grow stronger, and stronger still. At this level, he had to reach the most perfect state. If not the greatest of all time, he still had to be among the foremost, reaching the very end of the path!

“It's difficult,” he thought, “but it's also possible to achieve.” Chu Feng firmly believed that as long as he cultivated to the extreme, with no further room for improvement, even peak saints who had refined their respective realms to a flawless state over countless years would be unable to stop him.

Chu Feng depicted his own scroll, striving for perfection. Afterward, he spent another day practicing his physical combat techniques with his fists and feet, as well as his mental combat techniques. His body moved like a streak of light before the Immovable Mountain, disappearing and reappearing instantly. He was incredibly fast. His fists glowed, illuminating the area and piercing through the dense mist. This was the Flowing Light Fist!

Next, he demonstrated the Crane-Shaped Sword. Beams of light erupted from his fingers; this was an attack technique that mobilized all the energy in his body, all erupting from his crane-beak formation! This wondrous technique was most effective for breaking through defenses and overcoming fortifications. When the Chaotic Star Finger appeared, it was like beams of laser light, interweaving horizontally and vertically, illuminating the desolate mountain area with dazzling brilliance.

Next, he also demonstrated mental combat techniques he had secretly learned from the Xilin Clan. His glabella glowed, and beams of light shot out, one after another, interweaving to form a mental cage. All of these techniques he activated using the Stolen-Guidance Breathing Technique. They differed from the original versions, but their effectiveness was not diminished. His ultimate goal was not to copy them, but to integrate them. He believed these secret techniques could be merged, ultimately evolving into his own invincible art.

Currently, Chu Feng felt that only the Resonance Technique was truly his own. After returning to its fundamental essence, it had been analyzed to its utmost. He believed that this was a more formidable method than the stolen secret techniques. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a heaven-defying wondrous art; it was his true trump card! In fact, it was precisely by using the Resonance Technique and his own energy body that he had defeated powerful enemies at the Visualization stage.

Chu Feng spent over two days on this island, which was filled with the scent of decay. He used this time for evolution, while also practicing his wondrous techniques and assimilating his recent gains. When he stopped, his evolution had concluded. Just as before, he felt unbearable hunger. His stomach rumbled like thunder, and his gut ached. Fortunately, he was well-prepared. He had meat from the Heavenly Deity Clan with him, which he grilled and boiled outside the Immovable Mountain to replenish his body's needs.

Chu Feng dug up a silver box on the island. This was a treasure he had obtained from the Qinling Mountains, and Yaoyao had told him that the Stolen-Guidance Breathing Technique should be hidden inside! However, he tried to open it, but it still wouldn't open. “It seems it's not quite ready yet,” Chu Feng realized. Currently, the breathing technique could still support his evolution and spellcasting. At the same time, he also picked up the stone box containing three seeds. Earlier, he had a premonition of misfortune, and fearing an accident, he had buried some of his most important items outside the Immovable Mountain. Now, he retrieved them.

Chu Feng emerged from his seclusion. He left the Immovable Mountain, exited the misty sea area, and returned to the East Sea.

“Kill!”

When he arrived at the previously visited sea area, he heard shouts of battle shaking the heavens. Various propitious lights burst forth, many weapons clashed, and some individuals were engaged in fierce combat. On the sea surface, there were numerous corpses of sea beasts, their blood staining the waters crimson.

Chu Feng inwardly thought, ‘This is bad.’ In the two days he had spent evolving, the underwater cave dwelling had emerged! He had worried about the sudden arrival of powerful enemies from beyond the domain, which was why he had decisively left to improve his cultivation. He hadn't expected that within these two days, a blessed land in the East Sea would emerge, revealing a great fortune. Those fighting on the sea surface were only a small portion; most had already rushed into the ocean depths, breaking into the ancient mansion.

At this moment, Chu Feng made no attempt to conceal himself. His entire body glowed intensely as he charged directly forward, heading for the battle. Brilliant divine radiance burst from his pores, illuminating the area. It was as if a heavenly deity had descended! His black hair turned a pale golden hue in the divine light—it was purely from the radiance. As for his physical body, it seemed forged from immortal divine metal.

“Chu Feng, the Great Demon King, is here!” Someone shrieked, quickly scattering. A group of people dispersed, fearing him.

“Where are Zihuan, Yuan Mo, Zhan He, and Li Feng?!” Chu Feng called out, wanting to understand the situation.

Beneath the sea, undercurrents surged, dazzling light emanated, and the battle was even more intense. Vaguely, a glowing cave dwelling could be seen, its interior shining brilliantly, like a divine realm. Chu Feng called out repeatedly. After several shouts, a response came from afar. Zihuan appeared, covered in bloodstains. Her face was pale, as if she had been frightened. When she saw Chu Feng, she showed a complex expression—a mix of fear, hope, and grievance.

“How long has the cave dwelling been open? What happened to you?!” Chu Feng asked her. Zihuan had wounds on her body, and they were not light wounds. They were still bleeding.

“The cave dwelling has been open for over a day,” Zihuan said. “Yuan Mo and I participated in the struggle, but... we were targeted. Many people besieged us, not allowing us to enter.” Zihuan spoke with indignation and lingering fear.

“Targeted?” Chu Feng frowned.

“Some people heard that the young god of the Heavenly Deity Clan was coming, and they were very excited, wanting to welcome him,” Zihuan explained. “Since a few of us had been with you, we were isolated and attacked...”

Before Zihuan could finish, Chu Feng already knew what was happening. Yuan Mo and the others had tried to seize a fortune, but had been besieged by some people. Chu Feng's gaze turned cold. Some events were effectively unfolding ahead of schedule! He was bound to face the young god, the divine son of the Xilin Clan, and the Netherworld Clan (currently ranked eleventh) sooner or later. He would be besieged. And now, some people had already begun to target Zihuan and the others.

“They're asking for death!”

After Chu Feng inquired about the situation, he learned that those contending for the fortune in the cave dwelling had been inside for a long time, and most had not yet emerged. He immediately ceased to worry. He thought for a moment and decided to block the exit outside. If those people wanted to come out, they would have to 'pass through him' one by one. He wouldn't even bother going in to seek epochal opportunities and adventures himself.

“If you want to come out, pay protection money first!” Chu Feng's murderous intent surged!
