Chapter 622: Brothers Reunite

The azure waves of the East Sea undulated, and from time to time, giant beasts surfaced, stirring up waves thousands of meters high. All of them were monsters; some resembled creatures from the dinosaur era, while others were utterly unknown or unseen.

Since the transformation of heaven and earth, marine life had undergone the most significant changes, with many mythical species' bloodlines reappearing as a result.

Amidst the surging waves, a large group of mermaids leaped from the deep blue sea, then plunged back into the ocean. Their graceful movements were truly a feast for the eyes.

"They look delicious! I love eating fish!" The Underworld Cat licked its lips, revealing sharp, snow-white teeth.

Chu Feng slapped it on the head, saying, "You can barely protect yourself, yet you're thinking of eating. You'll be crying soon enough."

The Night Demon lowered its head and said, "Fellow Daoist, please spare me. I've submitted and humbled myself to be your mount. We have no deep-seated grudges, so how about we let bygones be bygones?"

"Getting there is important, don't overthink it." Chu Feng ignored it and took out a stone to locate the Undying Mountain.

This was a stone from the Undying Mountain; if one didn't carry such a stone, they would never find their way back once they left.

"That way!" Chu Feng pointed the way, like an old horse finding its path.

"Roar..." In the sea, a tiger's roar shook the heavens. It was several golden Sea God Tigers, all ancient variant species, a rare sight in this era.

During his battle with the sea race at Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Chu Feng had once fought an exceptionally powerful Sea God Tiger, tearing off half its tail, which caused the tiger to become furious and despise him.

"The one I fought before is among them!" Chu Feng showed a strange expression.

The Sea God Tigers had wings, their bodies shimmering with golden light. They sliced through the water, also hurrying in one direction.

"Damn it, a bunch of sick cats dare to block my way? Get out of my sight!" The Underworld Cat howled, using its spiritual devour ability to oppress their minds, and was about to charge forward.

Chu Feng sighed. In this era, it had become normal for cats to bully tigers, and he couldn't stand to watch it. Even though the Sea God Tiger had fought him to the death previously, times had changed; he no longer considered them enemies and couldn't bear to see a king of Earth's creatures be humiliated by an Underworld Cat from another domain.

With a smack, he slapped it, telling it not to cause trouble, and continued on their way.

"How frustrating! I can't eat fish, and I can't bully sick cats. What's the fun in life anymore?" The Underworld Cat muttered. It was deliberately seeking attention because it was unsettled, fearing Chu Feng would kill it once they reached their destination, and was now trying various provocations.

"Something's off." Chu Feng felt puzzled. All sorts of strange beasts in the sea were moving in one direction, not uttering a word, with expressions of devotion, as if on a pilgrimage. Could something be happening?

Then, he saw sea turtles as vast as islands, dolphins with dragon horns, and even tiger whales as colossal as mountains, all moving in groups towards a single direction.

Chu Feng decisively stopped a clam girl walking on the waves. Her two snow-white clam shells were as clear as wings, and her figure was graceful and beautiful. At this moment, her face turned pale as she felt the pressure from the Night Demon.

"Don't be afraid, I just have a few questions for you," Chu Feng reassured her.

He soon learned that the sea race was holding a grand event near the mysterious cube in the depths of the ocean, to discuss whether to re-enter the land and seek opportunities in Kunlun.

"Hmm, what's happening in Kunlun?!"

"The Land of Ten Thousand Gods is about to open. It's said that the Magneto-Magnetic Sacred Body, the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Body, Ying Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, the Buddhist Son, and others are fighting to the death there, all vying for a path into the Land of Ten Thousand Gods, where there are astonishing fortunes."

"Such a thing is happening..." Chu Feng showed a surprised expression.

He already knew that the Divine Glazed Golden Body, Great Evolution War Body, and Calamity-Free Divine Body had emerged, contending for dominance on Earth, shaking the cosmos and becoming the hottest focus. He had even been looking for a chance to gauge those individuals.

Chu Feng hadn't expected that their decisive battle in Kunlun would actually lead to the opening of the Land of Ten Thousand Gods. This was a major event!

It was said that the ancestral root of the Peaches of Immortality was rooted there, and furthermore, there were some ancient engravings, all treasure-level inheritances. He had to get there quickly.

However, did the sea race now have the qualifications to contend? At this stage, the extraterrestrial beings who had descended were all extremely powerful, and there were few Earth evolutionary beings capable of challenging them.

"The Sea God within the cube is going to choose a body to carry a portion of her consciousness and enter the Land of Ten Thousand Gods in Kunlun personally," the clam girl replied.

Chu Feng was startled upon hearing this. He had long known that a mysterious cube had once fallen into the ocean, causing the power of various sea races to surge and imparting many cultivation methods to them.

Now, the mysterious woman slumbering in the cube had awakened and intended to borrow a body to come to life and make a trip to Kunlun. This was definitely a terrifying prospect.

Because that woman was unfathomable; even back then she could control islands to traverse the universe, and later hid within the cube to enter Earth. It was simply too astounding.

However, Chu Feng had no intention of investigating further; it was better to avoid trouble for now. He didn't want to provoke the mysterious woman in the cube and continued on his way.

"You knew about Kunlun, why didn't you tell me?" Chu Feng asked the Underworld Cat.

The Underworld Cat gave a dry laugh and said, "You didn't ask me, did you?"

In truth, it felt uneasy, fearing that the other party would kill it after using it. It vaguely sensed that this person wearing a bronze mask was very familiar with Chu Feng and a close friend of those from the Undying Mountain. While meeting the Yellow Ox and others might not matter, if they went to Kunlun or other places and met extraterrestrial beings, the other party would likely kill it to silence it and prevent information leaks.

Finally, they were approaching the Undying Mountain. The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, obscuring the sea.

"Hmm?!" Chu Feng's heart stirred. He felt someone powerful was observing them but couldn't immediately pinpoint their hiding spot.

A wisp of golden light flickered deep within Chu Feng's eyes. He narrowed his eyes, secretly using his Fiery Golden Eyes to investigate. Then his heart froze; he saw a small, emerald green and shimmering boat in the distant sky, rapidly diving towards them.

"Go!" Chu Feng urged the Underworld Cat forward, then set up a field. They vanished from that spot, directly disappearing into the mist.

That person was Yu Chi Kong, the protector of the Earth True Son!

Chu Feng's pupils turned cold. He had no good feelings towards this person. Before his decisive battle with the Young God of the Deva Race and Qin Luoyin, this person had repeatedly sought him out, self-righteously demanding that he hand over the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique, and eventually even pressured him, attempting to forcibly obtain it.

Yet, when the true decisive battle against the extraterrestrials occurred, Yu Chi Kong and the Earth True Son were nowhere to be seen. But at critical moments, they coveted Chu Feng's inheritances, even demanding the Hell Ant Nectar, Deva Nectar, and other fortunes Chu Feng had personally obtained, which made him utterly disgusted.

Yu Chi Kong and the Earth True Son, Zhou Shang, considered themselves of the true lineage of Chosen Ones, but their actions did not convince Chu Feng.

"What's this old guy doing guarding here?" Chu Feng's expression was not good. He vaguely had a guess: could he be planning to ambush Yellow Ox, Big Black, and the others, and kidnap his parents to continue coercing the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique from them?!

Thinking of this, his expression grew even uglier.

Chu Feng didn't stop. He wanted to see Yellow Ox and the others, to quickly reveal himself and tell them he was alive and back.

The Underworld Cat was very fast, and amidst its uncertainty, it rushed onto the island deep within the mist. The island lacked vitality; it was full of rocks, and even the ancient trees were rotting.

Seven towering mountains on the island had a majestic and terrifying aura, standing majestically in the center of the island, as if severing heaven and earth, blocking the way.

As Chu Feng arrived, still far from the mountain gate, he heard whistling winds, thunderous sonic booms, and other sounds, with energy surging abundantly.

"These days are so dull! No, we have to go out and do something big—kill a bunch of Holy Sons and plunder the inheritances of those extraterrestrial factions, to avenge Brother Chu Feng once more!"

From a great distance, he heard the voices of old friends.

"That's right, the Land of Ten Thousand Gods is about to open. We'll go too when the time comes. We'll drive the Undying Grand Ship and blast them to pieces. Blood for blood! We'll make them pay the bloody price they deserve."

"Yes, it's time to act again! Especially hearing that girl from the Great Dream Pure Land is alive, my mood has worsened. And the Great Dream Pure Land is still spreading rumors that Qin Luoyin killed Brother Chu Feng—that makes me even more annoyed. Let's kill them all! This time, don't let a single person from the Great Dream Pure Land escape, damn it!"

"Oh, my boy, my boy... Brother Chu Feng, you died so miserably. Rest assured, I'll burn paper money for you every year and talk about you daily. May your spirit rest in peace. Of course, if you miss us, you can always come back and visit occasionally." The old donkey rubbed its eyes for a long time, just wailing without managing to shed a single tear.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Chu Feng directly. His scalp prickled with fright, and he stumbled backward, scrambling away, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps. He shouted, "Oh my goodness, it's a ghost! Brother Chu Feng, I was just saying things casually, you didn't really have to come home to visit! Please leave quickly! I'll burn ten boatloads of paper money for you next year, so come back then. This year is fine, this will scare people to death!"

It was utter chaos. The old donkey bucked its legs and ran without looking back.

At this moment, the Big Black Ox shot to his feet, his large horns swaying, his copper-bell eyes wide and round. He couldn't believe it, immensely excited, staring at Chu Feng.

The Northeast Tiger, however, rolled his tiger eyes strangely, standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Brother, did you hear the old donkey's laments and come running home?"

"Yeah, I missed everyone, so I just strolled out of the Underworld. And look, I even brought you a gift. Brother Tiger, what do you think of this tigress? She's a dark beauty." Chu Feng gave the Underworld Cat a kick, sending it flying towards them. He had already put away his bronze mask before getting close.

At this moment, the Night Demon was utterly terrified. Who did it see? Chu Feng! The mysterious powerhouse it had been carrying was actually Chu Feng, the strongest evolutionary being on Earth, whom all races had long considered dead!

In an instant, it understood everything; all its questions were answered. Its head swelled with panic, and its fur stood on end. The other party would most likely silence it to prevent any leaks.

Immediately, it trembled with fear.

The Northeast Tiger hadn't yet fully recovered his senses and instinctively replied, "Brother, this dark beauty is a male, and seems to be a cat. Is the Underworld too dark? You brought the wrong gift."

It was the Big Black Ox who remained calm. After a brief moment of daze, he let out a strange cry, then rushed forward, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "Brother, I knew you weren't dead! This is great, you're finally back! We brothers can fight side by side again."

Seeing him like this, Chu Feng was also deeply moved and gave him a warm embrace.

Who knew, the Big Black Ox grunted and directly bit his finger, nearly drawing blood, exclaiming, "It's a physical body, real, not a ghost!"

"Damn, Big Boss Black, you're almost biting my finger off!" Chu Feng grimaced.

The Big Black Ox quickly wiped away the hot tears from his eyes, laughing heartily, and slapped his shoulder, saying, "It's great that you're alive! You really had us worried, and recently we had even lost hope. Who would've thought, brother, that you'd come back at such a crucial moment? You're truly blessed with good fortune! When the time comes, we brothers will charge into Kunlun together, blind those bastards, and shock them to death!"

The Northeast Tiger roared and pounced over as well, giving a powerful bear hug, overjoyed.

"Oh, my boy, my boy... I knew it. A scourge lives for a thousand years. A cosmic-level troublemaker like our brother should live for hundreds of thousands of years. I, the old donkey, guessed it long ago—Brother Chu Feng couldn't possibly be dead."

The old donkey, completely shameless, with its long ears perked up and big front teeth bared, completely forgot its earlier fright and scrambling, and approached without a trace of embarrassment.

Nearby, the Underworld Cat's head felt twice its size with shock. It lamented, "This master has returned alive from purgatory! This matter is certainly not over; a massive storm is brewing!"
