Chapter 527: The Storm Will Rise

“Don't worry,” someone nodded, smiling confidently. “I believe the Saints in the starry sky have made no mistake in their deductions. We will have the opportunity to enter this planet's main space.”

Recently, some Sages deep in the starry sky collectively made a deduction, concluding that after a long period, the energy fields on Earth could no longer operate with such precision.

This is related to the starry sky and the power of time, just like a mechanical watch that was once precise but will inevitably develop errors one day. This is unavoidable.

From ancient times to the present, too much time has passed, and the planet has endured many major wars. As a result, the "mechanical watch" of its energy fields has developed flaws and is no longer precise.

Some Sages speculate that every few decades, certain areas of Earth's energy fields will develop "fissures," allowing immediate entry into Earth's main space.

However, these fissures are very small and do not permit powerful beings to force their way through. The limit is an evolutionist at the Arhat Golden Body level.

Moreover, this window of opportunity is very brief and fleeting!

At the same time, even if one successfully "smuggles" in, it will be extremely dangerous within Earth's main space because Earth's will is gradually recovering and will correct any anomalies!

Therefore, if they truly manage to descend, they cannot stay long and must depart as quickly as possible.

Although time is limited, for evolutionists at the Arhat Golden Body level, this loophole and time difference are sufficient to accomplish many things!

For example: assassinate Chu Feng!

In the starry sky, some orthodoxies now detest him and will certainly not let him live if given the chance.

Of course, not all these people have come just to kill Chu Feng; one evolutionist at the Arhat Golden Body level would be sufficient to eliminate him.

Currently, at least dozens of orthodoxies have dispatched forces, along with some renowned interstellar hunters and even cosmic mercenaries. Their purpose is not merely to kill Chu Feng.

They aim to seize the fleeting opportunity to rush into Earth and claim its treasures!

At this level, the leaders are all Arhat Golden Body evolutionists, considered powerful figures in the eyes of ordinary evolutionists. It is too easy for them to accomplish things.

In the space outside Earth, it gradually became quiet. Each team occupied its own area, waiting for the "fissures" to appear.

It is said they will appear within a few days at the shortest, or a few months at the longest!

At this time, almost all the leaders held ancient maps, acquired at great cost.

Empires from Earth's glorious ancient era, evolution holy lands, and underwater caves were all marked on the maps. They were studying these, knowing that their time on Earth would be very brief. They needed to choose their targets carefully to swiftly break through restrictions with their Arhat Golden Body level strength and directly seize the fortunes of a chosen location!

They needed to act quickly and decisively; time was limited!

In the universe, teams continued to arrive: interstellar hunters, powerful figures from holy lands, and even space pirates wandering the starry sky. Their composition was complex.

However, the number of people in each team ranged from a minimum of twenty or thirty to no more than a hundred, as the cost of crossing vast cosmic distances was truly immense.

Travel through wormholes was charged per person, and this industry was almost monopolized by the Tongtian Wormhole Company.

Some powerful orthodoxies also possessed this technology, but they were ultimately not professional enough to guarantee absolute path safety, avoid areas where cosmic beasts attacked, or address issues of time and cost.

At this rate, the space outside Earth was destined to be teeming with beings, with teams arriving continuously.

Only a small fraction truly intended to kill Chu Feng; ninety percent of the forces were there to seize opportunities.

Earth, East Sea.

Chu Feng felt the pressure. He walked through the sea, his brows deeply furrowed as he read various messages on his optical computer.

If evolutionists at the Arhat Golden Body level entered, things would be absolutely dire.

Water rippled. Chu Feng found Yuan Mo and Zi Luan, then leaped onto the five-colored great ship.

Zi Luan immediately reported to Chu Feng that Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu had tried to escape and even bribed them, but she and Yuan Mo had refused and caught them.

"When will you remove the Xuanmagnetic Needles from our bodies?" Zi Luan asked, looking resentful. Clearly, it wasn't that she didn't want to escape, but rather that she feared the Xuanmagnetic Needles in her body exploding.

After just a few days, she had already felt something was wrong; some parts of her body were slightly painful, indicating that Chu Feng hadn't just been bluffing.

If she left him, the Xuanmagnetic Needles might activate!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Chu Feng removed some of the Xuanmagnetic Needles from Zi Luan and Yuan Mo as a reward.

Then, he gave them a few Golden Snake Fruits and a black jade bottle each.

"Skyfire Liquid!" Zi Luan exclaimed in surprise. This substance was extremely valuable and greatly beneficial for cultivating secret techniques, as it could shorten the time required and nourish the body after absorption.

Yuan Mo was surprised; he hadn't expected Chu Feng to give them Skyfire Liquid.

Nearby, Zhan He and Li Feng looked on longingly. They certainly wanted it but were too embarrassed to ask; that would be completely bowing down to this devil. Overall, they couldn't bring themselves to lose face.

"Someone tried to escape. If you two don't intercept them, you can forget about getting any Skyfire Liquid," Chu Feng said, treating them differently.

Zhan He and Li Feng were immediately very disappointed and somewhat regretful.

Then, the great demoness Zhao Qing spoke up, alluring and charming, seeking credit from Chu Feng. She claimed to have been the first to discover the two wanted to escape, then informed Zi Luan.

Not far away, Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu turned pale, but also furious, staring at Zhao Qing. They felt betrayed, their beautiful eyes blazing with anger.

Zhao Qing scoffed, "What are you staring at? Don't think I don't know you two secretly conspired to take me with you, then abandon me halfway to attract the pursuers."

Hearing this, Chu Feng smiled and also gave Zhao Qing a bottle of Skyfire Liquid as a reward.

The great demoness's smile immediately turned sweet, becoming even more captivating. Her slender figure swayed as she gracefully approached to massage Chu Feng's back.

"As for you two..." Chu Feng looked at Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu and said, "Have your families prepare another billion cosmic coins each."

"What?!"

Both girls turned pale with shock. They were already detained and had paid a protection fee; now he was charging more? This devil was truly abominable and lacked "morality."

In the starry sky, when Grandfather Luo and Grandfather Qi received the news, their hearts bled. Granddaughter Zhao, the Devil King's granddaughter, was making money, having obtained a bottle of astonishingly valuable Skyfire Liquid in just a few days, while their own granddaughters repeatedly caused them to pay protection fees.

The two old men were initially annoyed and wanted to be tough.

However, that devil shamelessly told them privately that if they didn't pay the protection fee, they could expect to see "artistic photos" of their granddaughters, guaranteed to be livestreamed on the Primal Beast platform.

The two old men immediately turned green. "Artistic photos," what nonsense! They knew the little devil definitely wanted to sell photo albums.

Because this devil had previously boasted about selling divine sons, saintesses, and even photo albums.

"Miaoxiang, don't try to escape unless there's a good opportunity. Your grandfather's coffin money is running low," Grandfather Luo wearily advised.

Grandfather Qi similarly warned his granddaughter: "Hold steady for now, don't rush to escape."

Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu wanted to vomit blood upon hearing such advice. Were these really their grandfathers? They wouldn't even let them escape just to save cosmic coins?

"Grandfathers, what do you mean? You're actually advising us not to escape? Are we even your real granddaughters? Are you preparing to sell me to this devil for some external wealth?"

Both girls were indignant.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Miaoxiang, I've already contacted the Great Dream Pure Land. Just hold steady for now until your distant cousin, Qin Luoyin, comes out of seclusion. If you try to escape again, your grandfather's coffin money will truly be gone." Grandfather Luo was dispirited; there was nothing he could do, as he had suffered another major financial loss.

Subsequently, Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu's treatment on the five-colored great ship rapidly declined. They no longer had to massage backs but were instead assigned to knead legs.

At the same time, they were responsible for preparing Chu Feng's bath water.

The two girls could barely stand it. As saintesses of their respective clans and favored daughters of heaven on their home planets, they had been captured on Earth and completely reduced to mere servant girls.

Qi Yu, dissatisfied, angrily said, "Chu Feng, you're going too far, oppressing us like this! You should know that Miaoxiang's cousin is Qin Luoyin. You should at least show some respect on her account!"

Chu Feng remained calm and said, "If you weren't Qin Luoyin's cousins, I wouldn't even bother to order you around. Go, bring me some foot-washing water."

"Ah!" both girls shrieked. This was truly unbearable; they had to bring foot-washing water too?

In fact, Chu Feng was cultivating with Skyfire Liquid, sometimes applying it all over his body, and sometimes simply soaking his feet to absorb its essence. This substance was indeed extraordinary.

After applying Skyfire Liquid to his skin, there was a burning sensation, but it made his neural responses faster and his mind sharper, yielding extraordinary results when cultivating secret techniques.

Furthermore, Skyfire Liquid contained body-nourishing substances. While not comparable to Hell Ant Liquid, it was still very good; in just one day, his physique had increased by about fifteen percent.

Chu Feng gasped. No wonder Zi Luan was excited and Yuan Mo surprised; this stuff was truly incredible!

He carefully checked his optical computer. Skyfire Liquid was priceless; even evolutionists at the Arhat Golden Body level could use it to aid in cultivating secret methods and nourishing their physical bodies.

It could increase one's physique by up to about thirty percent.

This was a permanent enhancement, applicable to all evolutionists as long as they had not surpassed the Arhat Golden Body level.

Chu Feng realized that because he had obtained the Hell Ant Liquid, whose effects were astonishing, he had almost overlooked Skyfire Liquid, which was also definitely a rare mineral elixir!

Allowing one's physique to increase by thirty percent was an exceptionally remarkable achievement for an evolutionist!

Chu Feng checked the price and, sure enough, it was sky-high!

One portion of Skyfire Liquid was worth five billion cosmic coins!

The key was that he had acquired a large amount this time—a small pond full, totaling at least fifty, if not a hundred, portions.

"This... is much more profitable than selling divine sons or saintesses!" Chu Feng was stunned, realizing he had truly overlooked its value.

When Luo Miaoxiang and Qi Yu, biting the bullet and seething with indignation, reluctantly obeyed Zi Luan's instruction to bring Chu Feng's foot-washing water, their eyes suddenly widened.

The black jade basin was surprisingly filled with bright red liquid—Skyfire Liquid!

"Watch your step; you almost ran into me," Chu Feng reminded them, expressing his dissatisfaction. He gestured for them to put down the foot basin, then sat there, preparing to soak his feet.

The two girls watched longingly, wanting to exclaim, "What a waste of precious resources!" Others would meticulously apply one portion of Skyfire Liquid in eight to ten applications, carefully spreading it across their bodies to fully absorb its effects, being incredibly frugal.

But before their eyes, what did they see? This fellow used three portions at once! Damn it, they couldn't help but want to curse. He was actually using it to soak his feet!

"Esteemed Saintesses, do my feet look good?" Chu Feng dangled his feet, revealing them in the bright red liquid. He wasn't entirely narcissistic; his feet indeed resembled pure white jade, very translucent, because his body had been continuously transforming recently.

"Ah!" Both girls' faces immediately flushed, and they quickly regained their composure.

"Skyfire Liquid should be applied all over the body for optimal effect and easier absorption," Qi Yu whispered. She genuinely felt this was an outrageous extravagance. Even as the strongest saintess on a planet, she couldn't help but shake her head. Such waste was too shameful.

Chu Feng smiled without saying anything. He knew his own methods. By circulating the Grand Dao Breathing Technique, his feet seemed to take root, allowing him to fully absorb all the essence of the Skyfire Liquid without any waste.

He was using large quantities of Skyfire Liquid simply to achieve a thirty percent physique increase in one go. He didn't have time for gradual refinement because powerful enemies could appear at any moment.

"Chu Feng, come for a discussion." Just then, a very ethereal voice, slightly aged, echoed in Chu Feng's ear.

"Who are you?!" He looked up, staring at a certain area of the sea.

The voice was very calm and said, "Don't be nervous. I bear no ill will. I am introducing you to a friend with whom you will share life and death. You will weather this storm together."
