Chapter 592: Kunlun Purgatory

"That damned little devil!" The Saint of the Great Dream Pure Land's face was ashen. The destruction of one of her spiritual seeds caused her immense heartache; these seeds were incredibly precious for her cultivation to advance further.

Outside the Kunlun Mountains on Earth.

Qin Luoyin's forehead was drenched in blood, startling everyone. Xu Chengxian, the Myriad Star Body, shrieked, as he had already considered the Great Dream Pure Land's successor as his destined partner, a decision that was virtually "internal."

"Was Fairy Qin killed?!"

"Oh my god, the sixth most beautiful woman under the stars met a tragic end! Are even the universe's top ten young masters no match for Demon Chu?!"

A chorus of screams erupted, and chaos ensued outside the Kunlun Mountains.

Everyone clearly saw that in the final moments, spiritual light flared from Qin Luoyin's forehead as she attempted to resist, but the light was utterly extinguished.

Furthermore, her forehead was bleeding profusely, and even though the blood shimmered with colorful light, the sight was still horrifying.

Even Chu Feng himself initially believed he had successfully killed Qin Luoyin. He had acted decisively moments ago, feeling danger imminent and his hairs standing on end, he had struck her with a palm.

At that moment, he didn't care that she was a peerless beauty; she was an enemy, and his priority was to eliminate her.

Yet, to his horror and surprise, Qin Luoyin was not dead. Her divine soul remained within her; he had only destroyed a spiritual seed.

"Fine, you people are truly shameless!" Chu Feng, filled with murderous intent, immediately realized it was a spiritual seed from an outer-domain Saint, who had personally intervened, just like Luo Hong, to influence the battle.

But Chu Feng was no longer the same. Having comprehended the wonders of the domain and even slain Saints before, dealing with a spiritual seed of a similar level would not be too difficult for him to suppress and destroy.

Throughout this, Chu Feng remained tense, his hairs constantly bristling. He moved his body like lightning, fully employing the "Horizon Within Reach" secret technique, intent on escaping.

"You won't escape!" An outer-domain Saint sneered. If a group of Saints couldn't suppress one minor cultivator, then they might as well not live.

In outer space, a small altar, vibrant red and translucent after being anointed with sacred blood, radiated a terrifying aura as it opened a realm gate outside the Kunlun Mountains.

Outside the Kunlun Mountains, a vast black rift stretched far and wide, incredibly terrifying, surpassing even Chu Feng's extreme speed. It was as if the entire world had been split in two, consuming everything in its path.

Mountains, boulders, and ancient trees in the area were swallowed whole, vanishing without a trace.

The group of pursuers, originally intent on attacking Chu Feng and rescuing Qin Luoyin, now halted, afraid to advance. They could feel their very souls trembling.

"Chu Feng!"

"Brother, come here!"

Yellow Ox, East Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, Old Donkey, and others shouted, steering their dilapidated ship in pursuit, hoping to intercept him. However, they couldn't match the speed of the massive rift.

It resembled a cosmic abyss, terrifying beyond words, obscuring the sky, a gaping black void that descended, about to engulf Chu Feng.

"Go quickly, don't come closer!" Chu Feng yelled, not wanting to drag them into this. At that moment, sweat poured down his face as he felt the chilling aura of death.

A cold sweat broke out all over him as he had a premonition of impending doom. This was a Saint intervening, he realized; it was an outer-domain entity interfering.

This time, however, it wasn't as crude and direct as Luo Hong's intervention. Instead, a more formidable trump card was being used. If that black crack of death swallowed him, God knew what would happen.

"All-Heaven Express, quickly open a wormhole for me!"

Chu Feng yelled into his light-brain, contacting the All-Heaven Wormhole Company. As a platinum VIP, he had the authority to make such a request, and they were supposed to process it immediately.

"Greetings, esteemed Platinum VIP user. Our wormholes can only be activated outside Earth or within the folded spaces behind Earth's renowned mountains. You are currently near the Land of Myriad Gods, a place with astonishingly dense cosmic energy, one of the remaining ancient immortal lands. We are unable to open a wormhole there. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

A very pleasant and exceedingly polite voice emanated from the light-brain.

"Damn it, this express company is truly unreliable!" Chu Feng cursed, unable to restrain his anger. At such a critical moment, it turned out the All-Heaven Wormhole Company was useless.

"Esteemed Platinum VIP, we are a wormhole company," the pleasant voice corrected.

Chu Feng was speechless.

He shot across the sky, narrowly avoiding the gaping, maw-like rift behind him. A tremendous explosion of air followed, a terrifying sight as mountains, birds, and everything else vanished into the darkness.

He was almost swallowed, an extremely close call.

"Qin Luoyin, the Saint behind you clearly wants to kill me! She's obviously an old hag, no good at all. Do you want to die? If not, tell her to settle down!" Chu Feng roared.

At that moment, Qin Luoyin's flawless, beautiful face was etched with shock. The destruction of the Saint's spiritual seed moments ago had deeply affected her.

"No response? I'll kill you first!" Chu Feng snapped.

With a whoosh, his right hand glowed as he pressed it towards her glabella. If he pierced through, even one of the universe's top ten young masters would perish.

At this instant, Qin Luoyin's internal energy surged. Although the Great Dream Pure Land Saint's spiritual seed had been destroyed, it had still served its purpose, unsealing the energy Chu Feng had previously sealed within her, which was now bursting forth like a broken dam.

"Hmm, tore through the seal? Kill!"

Upon realizing this, Chu Feng struck her forehead directly, without mercy.

Crack!

Still under his control, Qin Luoyin was passive. Despite her unwillingness, her forehead was struck again, and blood splattered once more.

"What? Fairy Qin was killed by him again? She wasn't dead before?"

"What a ruthless fiend! A peerless beauty just got beaten to death by him?"

Not only the Kunlun area but the entire starry sky was already in an uproar.

However, Chu Feng, the protagonist, showed a strange expression. He realized Qin Luoyin was still alive. Although his palm had landed on her forehead, a secret treasure had emerged from within her head, protecting her spirit and ultimately defending against the fatal blow.

It was a tiny, green, glowing shield, barely an inch long and excessively miniature, resembling a miniature plantain fan if not examined closely.

"Boom!"

As Chu Feng fled desperately, evading the black abyss, he slammed his palm down again, shattering the spiritual weapon.

Simultaneously, he pressed down with his palm, intending to finish Qin Luoyin off this time. However, her head glowed as a fist-sized mass of spirit, covered in golden armor, emerged.

Spiritual armor!

And it was an extremely high-tier item, which infuriated Chu Feng. Killing someone shouldn't be this difficult.

With a *thwack*, his hand-blade sliced through Qin Luoyin's throat, blood splattering everywhere. However, he didn't sever her head completely. Instead, he glared towards the outer domain and yelled, "You bunch of cowardly fools from beyond! You call yourselves Saints, yet you're so shameless! If you have the guts, come down yourselves! I'll beat you till you drop!"

"Everyone, don't hesitate! Let's not drag this out; send him on his way!" In the outer domain, the female Saint from the Great Dream Pure Land spoke, her face incredibly cold. Chu Feng's words and actions had truly earned her utmost loathing.

"Aren't you concerned Qin Luoyin might die with him?" asked Mu Qinghan, the female Saint from the Spirit Race, frowning. Their Spirit Race still hoped to form a marriage alliance with the Great Dream Pure Land.

"No matter," the Saint from the Great Dream Pure Land replied, unconcerned. "Luoyin has a 'Death-Substitute Talisman' within her. Even if she's killed, there's still a chance for her to revive, deceiving the heavens and escaping death to preserve her life."

The Saint of the Celestial Gods, completely golden, descended like a deity from beyond the heavens, suppressing the starry sky and causing the entire solar system to tremble slightly. "In that case," he declared, "we won't hold back. Suppress and kill him!"

"Heh heh, then let's kill!" The Saint of the Underworld Race unleashed towering black mist that threatened to shroud the moon and envelop outer space, seemingly even attempting to swallow the radiant sun!

Simultaneously, the Saints of the Xilin Race, the Mechanical Race, and others also made their move.

Outside Kunlun, the black abyss became even more terrifying, devouring everything. No matter how Chu Feng flew or tried to escape, he couldn't break free from its grasp.

His body was being dragged backward, pulled toward the dark abyss reflected in the sky, on the verge of being swallowed.

"Luoyin, I'm giving you another chance! Strike him down brilliantly and cast him into purgatory!"

At that moment, Qin Luoyin received another telepathic message, hearing the Great Dream Pure Land Saint's words. Simultaneously, she sensed the arrival of two spiritual seeds this time.

It had to be said, this lineage valued Qin Luoyin immensely, hoping she would defeat and kill Chu Feng in front of everyone at the last moment, thereby redeeming their earlier defeat and achieving a glorious victory.

Sensing the danger, Chu Feng punched through her, leaving her covered in blood. Colorful, sweet-smelling blood splattered everywhere.

"You little wretch!" Another spiritual seed of the Great Dream Pure Land Saint was destroyed, because Chu Feng's divine senses were incredibly keen, detecting the spiritual energy permeating that area.

The other spiritual seed remained dormant, not daring to act, for the Saint of the Great Dream Pure Land now understood that neither she nor Qin Luoyin could kill Chu Feng in their current state. It was better to stay and protect Qin Luoyin, potentially buying her a chance at life in case of an unforeseen event.

In the outer domain, the Saint of the Great Dream Pure Land sighed softly. She knew that her wish for Qin Luoyin to defeat Chu Feng in front of everyone and cast him into purgatory would not be fulfilled.

"Die!" numerous Saints roared in unison, making their move.

With a resounding rumble, at the very last moment, the terrifying abyss descended and swallowed Chu Feng whole.

Simultaneously, a burst of dazzling colorful light erupted, enveloping Qin Luoyin. This was the collective effort of the various Saints, who, at a critical juncture, paid a price and extended a favor to the Great Dream Pure Land to rescue her.

On a tall mountain outside Kunlun.

A small, verdant boat, crafted from green bamboo, rested there. Yu Chi Kong sat upon it, a look of shock on his face. "The deepest part of Kunlun holds the Land of Myriad Gods," he stated, "but outside Kunlun, there's purgatory. Legend says countless ancient ancestors were imprisoned there and refined to death. I never imagined it was true, but now it has reappeared. Chu Feng… he's destined to die."

At the other end of the boat, Zhou Shang, the Tribulation-Free Divine Body, sat cross-legged, still veiled in mist and utterly unmoving.

Outside Kunlun, the cultivators of various races were stunned. At such a critical moment, the black abyss was simply beyond human resistance, too terrifying as it swallowed even entire mountains.

"If you don't stop, then this sixth most beautiful woman under the stars will enter with me!" Chu Feng roared towards the outer domain, gripping Qin Luoyin tightly.

However, at that moment, large swaths of colorful light converged, attempting to restrain Qin Luoyin and carry her away.

Just then, Chu Feng felt a strange fluctuation. As he approached the entrance to purgatory, an item on his person began to tremble and faintly glow, which he immediately sensed.

It was... the stone box he had found at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, containing three seeds.

Now, this seemingly ancient and very ordinary stone box, upon sensing the aura of purgatory, actually began to glow faintly. Simultaneously, all the vibrant colorful light in front of them dispersed, causing the outer-domain Saints to frown in astonishment and profound confusion, unsure why their methods had failed.

Ultimately, the dark abyss swallowed Chu Feng, and he dragged Qin Luoyin in with him.
