Chapter 626: New Target

"Ah..." Yuchi Kong screamed in terror, his spiritual sonic waves vibrating intensely, incomparably shrill. He felt his soul being annihilated, rapidly corroded, and vanishing into thin air.

This was the fate of complete annihilation, body and spirit. Nothing would remain after death; not only the legendary reincarnation but even his traces in this world would be erased, leaving not even a speck of bone.

This was the Samsara Knife, severing reincarnation, slaying body and soul, utterly destroying everything!

Recalling that ancient record, Yuchi Kong's mind trembled and crumbled. Terrified to the extreme in his final moments, he struggled desperately, but it was useless; he was about to completely vanish from this world.

Chu Feng was cold and ruthless, holding the dark red long saber. He looked down, and from the head split in two, four or five weapons astonishingly fell out.

These were small swords, spears, ge-halberds, etc., all weapons that could only be wielded by the spirit. However, they had all been shattered by the Samsara Knife.

"I hate this!" Yuchi Kong shrieked. He truly didn't want to die. He had hoped to rise with the True Son of Earth, to witness the splendor of the entire universe. He hadn't yet received the primordial violet qi or profound yellow mother qi bestowed by Earth's will. He had yearned to one day overlook the entire star sea.

"Why?!" he wailed tragically.

Chu Feng stared him down, not bothering to respond. Even now, the man remained unrepentant, unworthy of sympathy.

In his final moments, Yuchi Kong was overwhelmed by extreme fear. He regretted it, truly wished he hadn't gotten involved, that he hadn't allied himself with Zhou Shang too early and delved too deeply.

In a moment of lucidity before death, he looked at Chu Feng. His spirit trembled. The young man before him exuded an oppressive aura like an ancient demonic mountain, with surging vitality and abundant yang energy, causing his will to collapse.

He knew that even if this person wasn't the Tribulation-Free Divine Body, he was fearless of the various legendary physiques that had recently appeared. He was destined to create immense waves and become a legend.

Even the Purgatory space couldn't trap him or bury him. What else could stop him? How could this be a false son, how could he be an abandoned son?!

In an instant, Yuchi Kong was filled with vexation, regret, and a tangle of other negative emotions.

He realized he had been too biased, blinded by greed, thinking Zhou Shang was invincible just because he possessed the Tribulation-Free Divine Body.

On a planet undergoing revival like this, there was no true chosen one. So-called true sons and false sons were merely titles; it was survival of the fittest, with the victor becoming king. Nothing was preordained!

He gave a bitter laugh. The so-called Tribulation-Free Divine Body, no matter how terrifying the legends, would be nothing but a mound of dirt if killed. His premature labeling of it as the true son was somewhat laughable.

At this moment, many thoughts crossed his mind, naturally leading him to Yaoyao, because Chu Feng was someone Yaoyao held in high regard.

"Was I trying to prove that I had better foresight than Princess Yaoyao? How ridiculous. What kind of physiques hasn't Princess Yaoyao seen? One could even say she's killed them all! The Eclosion Divine Body, the Primal Magnetic Saint Body, the Tribulation-Free Divine Body—she slew them all back then. I considered the Tribulation-Free Divine Body a treasure; perhaps she saw it as merely a blade of grass by the roadside. Is it a matter of perspective?"

Before his death, Yuchi Kong's mind raced, countless thoughts surfacing at once. He was filled with boundless regret and even some self-reflection, but it was all too late.

His split head had already turned into a bloody mist, and his bones had become ashes. His traces in this world were about to be completely erased.

"Samsara Knife!"

Yuchi Kong let out a final shout, filled with immense fear and extreme terror. Then, with an overwhelming sense of dread, he cried, "We are all ghosts, and I'm even worse—completely annihilated, erased from existence. What a vast underworld! I see it! How ridiculous, everyone in this world lives in the netherworld, they're all just ghosts! The scenes revealed by the Samsara Knife, I see them, ahh…"

He had gone mad, screaming frantically in his final moments, his spiritual fluctuations intense.

"Be on your way!"

Chu Feng had been watching his dissipating spirit, and though he wanted to hear more, he knew Yuchi Kong was completely finished, already insane, and on the verge of annihilation.

Chu Feng delivered a final punch, and Yuchi Kong's last remaining wisp of spirit exploded, utterly destroyed, all traces erased from the world.

"Brother, you're incredibly powerful! You just took care of that old geezer like that?!" The Black Ox and the others, having chased all the way, arrived panting, their eyes filled with astonishment. They were completely stunned.

One had to know, Yuchi Kong was incredibly strong; wielding the green bamboo boat, he was invincible. Even the Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng, piloting their decaying large ship, suffered heavy losses fighting him and were almost killed.

"Brother, well done! Finally killed that old bastard, what a relief!" The Northeast Tiger, Old Donkey, and others were excited, as were Zhou Quan and the Kunlun Grand Demons, who had also arrived.

They had been incredibly worried, fearing something would happen to Chu Feng. Each of them was prepared to fight to the death. They had followed all the way, ready to charge in and battle fiercely if Chu Feng was outmatched and couldn't escape.

"Brother, are you alright?" Zhou Quan helped him.

"I'm fine, just need a day of rest. But that old man truly was formidable!"

Chu Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood. Killing Yuchi Kong this time had been a huge risk; he himself had almost met disaster and was now severely injured.

The Black Ox nodded, saying, "More than formidable, he was unbelievably strong! That old geezer must be a monster from a secret realm, having cultivated for an incredibly long time, otherwise, he couldn't have achieved such power!"

The group felt a lingering fear. It had been too dangerous; if there had been the slightest misstep, Chu Feng might have been killed by the True Son of Earth's protector.

In that case, they would all have regretted it for the rest of their lives and wouldn't have been able to accept it.

Even after the battle ended, they were still breathing rapidly, their hearts pounding. They had been so nervous, fearing something terrible would happen to Chu Feng.

"Brother, you can't be this reckless anymore. You just returned from Purgatory, and you fought so desperately. You had our hearts in our throats just now," the Black Ox said with a serious expression.

At this moment, the old Grandmaster from Mount Wudang also stepped forward and stated very solemnly, "With your talent, if you cultivated diligently for some time, you would certainly be able to kill Yuchi Kong eventually. Acting prematurely like this is too risky. Not just for yourself, but also consider those around you. You're not fighting alone anymore; you've effectively formed a group, with a circle of friends who look to you. If something happens to you, they won't fare well either."

"You are right, Senior!" Chu Feng nodded. He had great respect for Wu Qifeng. The old Grandmaster had risked his life to protect him multiple times when he was still weak and had treated him with genuine sincerity. Chu Feng always respected his advice.

"Son, oh, son, that old monster is finally dead! This is a joyous occasion for everyone; let's go back and celebrate. Damn, he was the first one bold enough to ambush us outside Immemorial Mountain. Now he's finally gone, off to the King of Hell's palace—no, he's probably utterly annihilated, won't even meet the King of Hell."

As soon as Old Donkey opened its mouth, everyone wanted to punch it. It always started by calling people "son," trying to take advantage.

Chu Feng grimaced. During the battle, at least twenty of his bones were broken, and some parts of his body were even pierced through by Yuchi Kong's fist imprints, leaving his flesh bloody and translucent from front to back.

If it weren't for the Six Paths Samsara Pill's medicinal effects, he might not have been able to endure. Fortunately, now that the battle was over, many of his wounds were healing.

Chu Feng carefully gathered the colorful flames into the stone box and closed the lid. This item couldn't be allowed to spread; its destructive power was immense, and if it leaked out, it could cause huge problems.

He retrieved the Vajra Bracelet, putting it on his wrist, and finally stroked the dark red long saber. He owed this victory largely to the saber; without it, he certainly couldn't have killed Yuchi Kong.

The Black Ox and the others stared intently, their gazes burning. Even the old Lama from Kunlun, clad in his golden kasaya with hands pressed together, sighed, "This saber is truly extraordinary, an essential weapon for home and travel!"

Everyone looked at him oddly. This old monk, usually so solemn and a truly enlightened master, had actually said something like that... it was certainly rare.

He rode atop a golden lion, the former old Lion King, whose body shimmered with brilliant golden light. They looked like a Buddhist potentate and his mount.

"Hmm, the origin of this saber is a bit frightening, but it's not unique; it's a standard issue, part of a batch. Sigh, I somewhat regret it now. I should have taken a few more at the time, but I was afraid of causing trouble on the Samsara Road, so I didn't dare to take more."

Chu Feng sighed, a little regretful. He wished he had taken a few more. If he had, he could have brought them out and given one to each of the Black Ox, Yellow Ox, Old Donkey, Wu Qifeng, and others. What a sight that would have been, everyone with a saber!

"We'll see if there's another chance. When I go to the Dead City to practice my martial arts and further my enlightenment, I'll definitely visit the Samsara Road again and get one for each of you!"

Everyone was startled and told him not to be reckless. They had already heard Chu Feng describe the situation in Purgatory; it was simply too dangerous.

Saints had been crushed into bloody pulp by the grinding wheels there. It was not a place for the living; it was essentially the true underworld.

Causing a ruckus on the Samsara Road was too crazy. They'd rather not have these Samsara Sabers. They genuinely feared Chu Feng might act on impulse and try to retrieve more sabers, and if something went wrong, there would truly be no turning back.

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not confident about. I won't be going back anytime soon," Chu Feng nodded. He also understood that the place was too sinister and not a good place.

Without the stone box, let alone him, even a Saint would die upon entering. That dead city, that Samsara Road, simply wasn't prepared for the living.

Furthermore, the sole void rift connecting the Purgatory space to the outside world was excessively terrifying, harboring immense strangeness. The ancient mining pits there were so dreadful that even mighty beings from countless eons ago had died gruesome deaths, some scared to death, which was utterly horrifying.

Even with the stone box in hand, Chu Feng had almost met with an accident when he walked that path, which made him extremely wary!

Two days later, Chu Feng had fully recovered at Immemorial Mountain. His broken bones and the translucent, bloody holes in his body had all healed perfectly.

"I'm going to Kunlun to hack the True Son of Earth to death!"

Chu Feng declared, preparing to set off.

Everyone was speechless. After all, he was a grand master at the Visualization stage, capable of looking down upon the various Divine Sons and Saintesses across the starry sky. Yet, he so casually declared he would "hack to death" someone. It was too unbridled.

"Ahem, truly my brother!" The Black Ox cleared its throat, as many people were looking at him, thinking Chu Feng had been influenced by him. In the past, the Black Ox was quite the hooligan, like a gang leader.

Old Grandmaster Wu Qifeng frowned and said, "News is spreading that at Kunlun, prodigies are vying for supremacy. Various invincible physiques are appearing one after another, fighting fiercely with figures like Ying Wudi, the Daoist Son, Yuan Shicheng, and the Buddhist Son to enter the Land of Ten Thousand Gods. It's extremely perilous."

"I intend to meet those people and see how powerful they are!" Chu Feng stated directly, also telling them that they should only go after Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng emerged from their seclusion, and not to take risks now.

Chu Feng wanted to act first and enter the Land of Ten Thousand Gods. He was very eager about the place; if it could make the strongest inheritors of the ten great star worlds vie and battle there, there must be immense benefits.

Ultimately, Chu Feng set off directly for Kunlun, intending to compete with the various prodigies and invincible physiques. He aimed to emerge victorious and be the first to enter the Land of Ten Thousand Gods, contending for the great fortune belonging to this planet.

Meanwhile, in the starry sky, a Saint from the Great Dream Pure Land was also informing Qin Luoyin that she could now set off for Kunlun to contend for a supreme opportunity!

After many days, Qin Luoyin reappeared in the world, entering Earth and heading for Kunlun.
