Chapter 618: A Blockbuster Popular Throughout the Universe

Chu Feng lay there, his vitality dormant within him. He made his body cold, entering a state of suspended animation, observing everything with a detached gaze.

Then, he watched as the group fussed about, setting up camera equipment and calling over the lead actress to shoot some emotional scenes with him, the "dead man."

Although Chu Feng's eyes were closed, a wisp of his spiritual sense could perceive the people nearby. He was surprised to find that the lead actress was another acquaintance—Xia Qianyu.

He almost sat up. She was too familiar; his first blind date ever. The scene back then was still vivid in his memory: she had brought Jiang Luoshen along to accompany her, and ultimately, all three of them made the news headlines.

It was truly an unexpected turn of events that this pure, big-eyed beauty had become the lead actress in "Return of the Great Sage."

However, she was indeed an actress. When they first met for the blind date, Chu Feng had mentioned he was also the lead in a film, but she had been skeptical, joining Jiang Luoshen in dismissing him as a liar, criticizing and despising him.

Of course, after "Ox Demon Great Sage" was released, everyone, including all his acquaintances, was utterly surprised, and Xia Qianyu was naturally stunned.

It had been a long time since they last met. Xia Qianyu was as youthful as ever, with clear, pure big eyes, still exuding the typical campus student vibe from their blind date after graduation.

"Good, yes, just like that. Embrace his body deeply, believing he will wake up," Director Zhou Yitian instructed.

Xia Qianyu protested softly, saying they had agreed earlier that her scenes wouldn't involve embracing or similar actions.

Zhou Yitian exclaimed, "Oh, my dear lady, please just make this sacrifice for art once! This is the most emotional part of the entire play, absolutely indispensable. Besides, he's just a dead person; consider any physical contact as if you're touching a rock or a table."

"A dead person?!" Xia Qianyu's hair immediately stood on end.

"Don't worry," Zhou Yitian said with abandon, "he's already been examined and disinfected by the team doctor. He only just died, perfectly fine. What era is this? Aliens are everywhere, mutants are common. He's just a dead human. If he were an alien beast, I'd roast him and eat him later."

Then, the emotional scene began. Xia Qianyu held Chu Feng, her face streaked with tears, calling out to him with deep affection, even touching his face.

It was only because Chu Feng was covered in blood that she didn't recognize him; after all, they had been on a blind date, and the impression was too strong.

Initially, Chu Feng remained calm. After all, it was a beautiful woman embracing him, so he continued to play dead. However, he later found it a bit unbearable, as tears occasionally fell on his face.

Chu Feng looked at Xia Qianyu, who was holding him with her head against his ear, and subtly blew a gentle puff of air.

"Ah..."

Xia Qianyu felt an itch on her earlobe, screamed in fright, dropped Chu Feng onto the desert, and turned to run, her movements agile and swift.

After all, she was an evolver herself now.

"What's wrong?!" Zhou Yitian and the rest of the crew were startled and jumped in alarm.

"He's alive! He... bit my ear!" Xia Qianyu's chest heaved violently, and her beautiful face was pale. She was truly terrified that a dead person had reacted, with warm air touching her fair earlobe—it was too horrifying.

"Impossible! We've all checked him. This person is thoroughly dead, looking like a defeated escapee from the Kunlun War, with all vitality extinguished." The team doctor, being quite bold, didn't believe her. He ran over, confirming multiple times that the man was indeed dead.

Zhou Yitian waved his hand and said, "Alright, that shot is approved! We're heading to Dragon Tiger Mountain tonight!"

"Director, this is too rushed," someone complained. "Leaving tonight? We're all exhausted."

Zhou Yitian sighed, "No choice. Dragon Tiger Mountain isn't peaceful lately. I hear aliens have occupied it, though they're currently allowing different groups to approach. I'm worried that soon it will become a dangerous place, and we won't be able to film anywhere near it."

"These bastards are so arrogant! When Chu Feng was around, he beat them senseless, even selling off deities and saints. But now..."

"Shhh, keep your voice down. Extraterrestrial evolvers are rampant now. There might be one flying over from here. We should be grateful they haven't massacred Earth. Sigh, it's just a pity. I wonder how the great demons on Dragon Tiger Mountain and Chu Feng's parents are doing, if they've been cornered there."

When Chu Feng heard these words, his eyes instantly turned incredibly cold in their depths, and a killing intent permeated the air.

"Why is it so cold here?" From a distance, a crew member shivered. Chu Feng quickly reined in the killing intent from his heart.

Zhou Yitian said, "Let's go! Oh, and don't forget to bring the corpse. No need for makeup or touch-ups; we can still use him at Dragon Tiger Mountain!"

"Director, you can't be serious! Traveling with a corpse is too inauspicious," someone said, filled with apprehension.

To save filming costs, Zhou Yitian tried to brainwash them: "What era is this? You're still talking about auspiciousness? There are demons and monsters everywhere, angels and black dragons flying through the sky. Various mythical creatures have not only entered reality, but some have even ended up on dinner tables—though, of course, you'd need Chu Feng's strength to eat them. In this age, you've seen everything there is to see. What more is there to be afraid of?"

Meanwhile, Xia Qianyu, unaware that the "corpse" would also be traveling with them, was communicating with someone in the distance. "Luoshen," she said, "I'm telling you, this blockbuster you introduced me to... it's haunted! I was almost scared to death just now. Tomorrow, please quickly bring that incredibly powerful divine monk to Dragon Tiger Mountain to help me cleanse myself. I'm still terrified. Yes, please invite Master Qianjia. Beg him to come save me! Oh, and aren't you making a guest appearance in this show? Come to Dragon Tiger Mountain quickly tomorrow!"

Soon after, an aircraft resembling both a spaceship and a battleship took off directly from the desert. As extraterrestrial beings continuously descended and various ancient ruins on Earth were unearthed, some advanced black technologies fell into the hands of locals. Now, many different types of spacecraft were being mass-produced.

Of course, this was far from enough for space jumps or venturing into the universe. The ruins containing such advanced technology were too sophisticated, and the extraterrestrial arrivals would not allow Earth's inhabitants to control them.

They hurried towards Dragon Tiger Mountain overnight. Chu Feng sat cross-legged in a storage compartment, recuperating. His breathing technique and the Six Paths Reincarnation Pill played a crucial role.

Broken bones were no issue at all; they were all regrowing. After the lightning tribulation's baptism, his flesh and blood became even more crystalline, his spirit carried a rich yang energy, and his physique grew increasingly powerful.

By the time they reached Dragon Tiger Mountain, Chu Feng had fully recovered. He felt significantly stronger than before. Over a month of trials in the purgatory space, combined with the celestial tribulation's baptism, had considerably elevated his overall physical capabilities!

He feigned sleep and was moved out of the storage compartment. Only after the others went to rest and left the area did he rise, gazing at Dragon Tiger Mountain. He was back after more than a month!

It was approaching dawn; the sky was almost bright.

Yaoyao had once said that no outsiders were allowed to set foot on Dragon Tiger Mountain. Now, it seemed some had crossed that line and occupied the place.

It was clear that demonic energy billowed on the mountain, large banners flapped, and powerful figures were stationed there.

"Yaoyao is gone, having traveled far into the shattered universe within the chaos. And I was killed and buried in purgatory. That's why these aliens have no qualms about barging in like this."

Chu Feng took out some profound magnetic material from a spatial bracelet, poured it into a bronze groove, melted it, and set up a miniature field.

Then, he refined the bronze into a mask and put it on his face.

"A field has methods to change mountains and terrain; it can also affect the human body, altering bones and flesh to change appearance. However, I'm not skilled enough yet, so I'll use a mask for now."

However, Chu Feng adjusted his height and build. He truly couldn't expose himself at this stage.

Thus, he entered the mountain. There, he spotted a minor demon, grabbed it, and holding the bird-headed, human-bodied demonic creature, whispered, "If you want to live, answer whatever I ask!"

Evidently, a group of extraterrestrial powerhouses had made this their stronghold, acting like kings of the mountain. This minor demon was thoroughly drunk, indicating their unrestrained behavior on the mountain.

At this, it sobered up from fright, revealing its fear.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng didn't get the answers he wanted. This minor demon had arrived later and didn't understand the situation here.

It only knew that its master, Night Demon, was stationed there, possessing boundless magic power, and had been the master of Dragon Tiger Mountain ever since it changed hands.

"My master ranks ninety-eighth among the strongest young experts in the universe!" it said proudly, despite its fear.

This ranking, while seemingly lower than Qin Luoyin and others, was truly remarkable. The universe was vast, with countless life-bearing planets. To be in the top hundred meant undoubtedly being preeminent among all life planets in one's galaxy, possessing extraordinarily terrifying talent and strength!

In fact, some believed that any young master ranked in the top hundred in the universe possessed infinite potential. Even if they were currently in the nineties, it was insignificant.

This was because they could potentially rise later, illuminating all heavens, becoming unstoppable, with boundless potential, and emerging as future overlords of the universe!

There were many such examples. Even the top ten prodigious talents among the universe's younger generation could be overthrown later, with their rankings completely changed.

"My master's sworn brothers are even more powerful," the minor demon said, "each one stronger than the last. There are astonishing figures ranked in the teens, and even the Unblemished Divine Body, hailed as invincible!"

The minor demon spoke, its words full of pride and admiration, as if such heaven-defying strength belonged to its own brothers.

Chu Feng's heart stirred. The Unblemished Divine Body? He remembered that Zhou Shang, the Earth's True Son, possessed such a physique—the legendary, supposedly unbeatable, Unblemished Divine Body!

Unable to glean much more information, Chu Feng slapped it unconscious and mercilessly severed part of its mental memories to prevent any mishaps.

Then, he questioned another minor demon. This tiger-headed, human-bodied evolver reeked of alcohol and slurred, "Chu Feng's parents? No idea. What are they? Don't know anything about them. Chu Feng himself is dead, completely eliminated. Who among his people would dare stir up trouble? Just kill them directly!"

Chu Feng kicked it unconscious, severed its memories, and tossed it into a nearby makeshift latrine.

"These demon evolvers have terrible habits, just setting up a latrine by the roadside. So uncouth."

Chu Feng entered the mountain, interrogating several individuals consecutively, but he still didn't get the information he sought.

"What's Chu Feng? He's dead himself. What's the point of mentioning his family? Just a bunch of losers." This was the most common response he got from the drunken minor demons during his interrogations, revealing their arrogance and audacity.

Chu Feng sighed softly. He had only "fallen" a little over a month ago, yet he already felt a sense of how things had changed. A group of minor extraterrestrial demons no longer cared about him, having forgotten the past incident of him selling off deities and saints.

Then, he let out a low roar, purple energy surging and extending over ten miles. Chu Feng revealed his divine might and directly entered the mountain, ready to confront the main perpetrators!

Anyone daring to occupy his territory would certainly face the wrath of the so-called Night Demon.

"Director, look! Something's happening on Dragon Tiger Mountain! Is this natural footage?" Outside the mountain, a startled crew member shouted to Zhou Yitian.

"My... goodness!" Zhou Yitian woke up and immediately exclaimed, "Purple energy from the East, Laozi exiting Hangu Pass! Oh my, I'm not dreaming, am I? Someone riding an ox has really arrived at Dragon Tiger Mountain, and they're even wearing... a Diamond Girdle!?"

What he was seeing at that moment was naturally a manifestation created by Chu Feng's visualization.

Chu Feng had visualized a green ox, riding upon it, with purple energy surging over ten miles above his head. He had also visualized a special Diamond Girdle, worn on his wrist. He strode through the sky, intending to suppress the group of extraterrestrial evolvers in Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Zhou Yitian exclaimed in delight, "Something big is definitely going to happen this time! Film everything! I have a feeling 'Return of the Great Sage' is going to be a hit across the entire universe!"

"Director, aren't you a bit too confident?" someone beside him scoffed, thinking he was dreaming.

Zhou Yitian confidently declared, "What do you know? The extraterrestrial 'Heaven's Eyes' are currently monitoring Kunlun and haven't detected the situation here at all. Only we are filming. If a world-shaking battle breaks out, everyone will surely come to buy the rights from us, and our blockbuster will naturally become famous across the stars!"

Those around him were almost in tears. The director was simply courting death; if others wanted the footage, they wouldn't ask but simply seize the filmed material.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. People from the Extraterrestrial Prime Beast Platform are in contact with me. If we accidentally film any incredible footage, we can sell it to them, and they'll protect us," Zhou Yitian declared, patting his chest.

"Demons and monsters, all of you, get out!" Chu Feng, riding a luminous, mighty young ox, flew across the sky and entered Dragon Tiger Mountain.
