Chapter 706: Everywhere Is Treasure

Off-world, a mighty expert stroked his beard and smiled faintly, saying, "We just need to wait for good news. With over nine thousand evolutionaries from more than a hundred evolutionary sects acting together, they could flatten this planet, let alone deal with a few minor devils. I'm very much looking forward to this, and I hope that devil Chu Feng is also on Immortal Mountain. That way, we can achieve complete success in one battle and wipe out all remaining threats."

A Saint nodded, "Indeed. It seems that those with peerless physiques, such as the Myriad Stars Physique and the Primal Magnetic Saint Body, will rise on this reviving planet, shining with invincible splendor and illuminating the entire starry sky. Destiny belongs to them!"

***

East Sea, Immortal Island.

The heavenly tribulation had ended, and the battle concluded.

Chu Feng grimaced in pain. It really hurt. He had run his mouth earlier, repeatedly provoking the heavenly tribulation, and now that things had settled, he felt like he was falling apart.

In fact, he had almost not made it. His body was riddled with several large holes, all pierced by lightning. As for his bones, most were broken, and some were even charred black.

His skin and flesh were dry and cracked, and some mottled, hardened chunks had even fallen off. He was almost unrecognizable as a human.

It was precisely because of this that, although he had been struck back into his true form, no one noticed. His youthful face was blackened, his nose was still smoking, and electric arcs shot out with every breath.

Only his eyes remained somewhat bright; every other part of him, even his earlobes, was charred black. His entire body had been thoroughly ravaged by the lightning.

Chu Feng swayed as he stood up, looking at himself, speechless. Not only did he look worse than a dead person, but even a mummy buried for hundreds of years would have looked better. He was completely blackened from head to toe.

He nervously looked down repeatedly and muttered, "Damn, my roc form almost got roasted by the lightning!"

Not far away, some surviving Holy Sons and two Holy Daughters saw his furtive, nervous behavior. They were first astonished, then realized, and finally blushed, all wanting to call him shameless.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a heartthrob before?" Chu Feng sternly reprimanded them, though his own face was slightly flushed. He quickly found his battle suit, put it on, and struck a righteous pose.

The two Holy Daughters were speechless.

The other Holy Sons were also speechless, all feeling that Chu Feng was a rather despicable and roguish devil.

Chu Feng ignored them, looked up at the sky, and said, "Lightning, go well, don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Of course, he only spoke with such contempt after confirming that the heavenly tribulation had completely receded and would not reappear.

Because if he took two more lightning strikes, he figured he wouldn't be able to hold on; he was already nearing his limit.

Everyone present was speechless after seeing this.

At this moment, Yellow Ox, the Big Black Ox, Wu Qifeng, Old Lama, and others had already rushed over, appearing outside the Heavenly Fire and Thunderous Sound Domain, looking very concerned.

Initially, they were very worried and anxiously asked if he was alright, but their tone quickly changed when they realized he was actually fine.

"Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but why were you arguing with Old Lightning? What happened? You're almost a medium-rare steak now, aren't you?" the Big Black Ox teased him.

Old Donkey also perked up his long ears, baring his big front teeth, and said, "Brother, remember the words of the ancients! As the ancient donkeys wisely said, 'Acting arrogant gets you struck by lightning, from head to toe!' Quickly check yourself to avoid lifelong trouble!"

After hearing that, Chu Feng felt like hitting someone. A fist light streaked across the sky, and Old Donkey was immediately sent flying diagonally. This was Chu Feng's Lightning Fist, just developed after his breakthrough during the heavenly tribulation, and it instantly made Old Donkey's limbs twitch, charring him black all over, as he brayed in continuous pain.

Chu Feng dragged his injured body out of the domain and began to heal.

Yellow Ox and Zhou Quan brought over the three most important captives: the Myriad Stars Physique, the Calamity-Free Divine Body, and the Primal Magnetic Saint Body. All three peerless physique holders had been suppressed!

Long spears were impaled in their bodies, piercing several vital points, rendering them all incapacitated. This was because such individuals, if given a chance, would immediately erupt with immense power, making them extremely dangerous.

Among those present, only Chu Feng, Yellow Ox, and Ouyang the Toad could truly fight; the others were certainly no match.

Toad searched the Calamity-Free Divine Son, immediately grinning so wide he couldn't close his mouth. "Hiss, this guy really has a lot of good stuff on him! He actually has Heavenly God Fluid! Where did this come from? Didn't he claim to be the true son of Earth?"

With a rush, a group of people surrounded the Calamity-Free Divine Body, rummaging through him and picking up treasures.

In a crystal-clear jar, there were four drops of liquid. They didn't merge but shone brilliantly like four small suns, looking utterly sacred.

This was a special product of the Heavenly God Race, extremely useful. When making successive breakthroughs, consuming this liquid could dispel calamities. It was priceless.

This divine liquid was so scarce that even within the Heavenly God Race, there wasn't enough. It was never sold externally, only occasionally appearing for auction in the cosmic black market at outrageously high prices that were hard to accept.

Zhou Quan exclaimed, "Oh! There are also three Six Paths Reincarnation Pills! Where did this guy get these? Does Earth even have such things? One pill is worth eighty billion cosmic coins!"

Then, he quickly poured out a pill from the bottle and handed it to Chu Feng, who was still grimacing.

"Keep searching!" Chu Feng instructed, swallowing the pill while telling them to look carefully.

At this point, the Divine Son, Zhou, regained consciousness, his eyes spitting fire. He prided himself on being the Calamity-Free Divine Body, but now he was reduced to a prisoner, being searched. For him, this was an unprecedented humiliation.

In his life plan, the word 'failure' did not exist. He had intended to advance triumphantly, sweep through all the evolutionaries on Earth, and become the sole being to obtain ultimate good fortune.

But now, he was thoroughly defeated.

With a clang, Old Donkey directly delivered a kick with his black hoof. Zhou's forehead immediately swelled up with a lump the size of a large bowl, and he saw stars from the pain, almost fainting because he currently had no energy to protect his body.

"Braya-bray! What are you glaring at? Still not convinced? Your Donkey Grandpa will teach you how to be a proper donkey in minutes!" Old Donkey lectured him.

"Donkey!" Zhou, being struck on the head by a long-eared donkey spirit like this, was so enraged that he flew into a fit of humiliated fury.

Old Donkey said nothing, merely raising his black hoof. With a clang, it landed directly on Zhou's face, instantly making his mouth and nose bleed and causing him to scream in agony.

In an instant, his face swelled up like a steamed bun.

"This divine sword is good! It's a rare treasure. It can clash with Chu Feng's Reincarnation Blade without being damaged. What good stuff!"

Without a doubt, Zhou was in for a bad time at the hands of these great devils. He was searched from head to toe, losing everything from his space bracelet to his protective armor. In the end, he was left with only his underwear, and even his metal combat boots were snatched and put on by Toad.

In the distance, the surviving Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were all speechless. This group of people was simply the most brutal bandits!

"Myriad Stars Physique, wake up! What good stuff do you have on you? If not, I'll chop you up and feed you to the old tortoise of the East Sea!" the Big Black Ox said, grinning widely and slapping his face.

Xu Chengxian (the Myriad Stars Physique holder) woke up to find a middle-aged man with large sunglasses, a cigar, and a slicked-back hairstyle looking down at him and slapping his face. He was immediately enraged.

"Natives, all of you get lost!" he roared. Young and arrogant, he had been enveloped by a divine halo since childhood and, at only seventeen or eighteen years old, was extremely proud and hot-tempered.

With a clang, he first took a kick from the Big Black Ox that deformed his face, then a hoof from Old Donkey, and finally, he was picked up by Toad for 'education'.

"What are you saying? Have you forgotten how Ouyang the Divine King educated you?" At that moment, Ouyang Feng, covered in golden patterns, grinned so wide his mouth reached his ears, and a torrent of drool sprayed all over Xu Chengxian, drenching his head and face as if he'd been washed.

"Ah…" the Myriad Stars Physique holder screamed miserably, a truly heart-rending and pathetic sound, before he began to gag and vomit violently.

Toad scorned, "You're truly disgusting! You're a grown person, yet you're vomiting everywhere. What kind of person are you? Aliens are really uncivilized!"

In the distance, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters all wanted to curse. "You sprayed people with so much drool, and you still have the nerve to call others uncivilized? Who wouldn't gag after getting drenched like that?"

"What kind of looks are those? Why are you staring at me like that?" Toad demanded, noticing the strange looks from the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. He immediately puffed out his belly and glared sideways at them.

All the Holy Daughters were scared stiff, fearing his spittle, and immediately closed their mouths, not daring to utter a single word.

"Oh, what is this liquid? It shimmers with light and is exceptionally sacred." Zhou Quan said, having searched through Xu Chengxian, the Myriad Stars Physique holder, and found some items. One jar seemed to contain many stars, suffused with moonlight and shining with starlight, utterly splendid and beautiful.

Yellow Ox spoke, a look of surprise on his face. "This is Star Essence Liquid, a strange substance that forms within special stellar cores. As expected of the Myriad Stars Physique holder, to actually find something like this! Its value is no less than Heavenly God Fluid or Hell Ant Liquid. One drop alone is worth tens of billions, and there are over a dozen drops here!"

"Haha, we're rich! We're rich!" Toad laughed loudly, gave the Myriad Stars Physique holder a 'Toad Palm,' and then sprayed his face with more drool, directly infuriating him to the point of passing out.

"Be careful not to kill them," Chu Feng reminded. "It would be best if we can interrogate them for various secret techniques!"

After he consumed a Six Paths Reincarnation Pill, his body continuously crackled. His flesh regenerated, and old skin was cracking and about to peel off. He was constantly transforming.

Gradually, the charred blackness disappeared from his body, revealing new skin as smooth as sheep-fat jade. The effect was remarkably obvious.

Chu Feng's vital energy was proliferating, and his power was increasing. He was like a divine furnace of life, his life-fire growing ever more vigorous. The aura he emitted terrified all the Holy Sons, making them feel as if they were facing a prehistoric god or demon!

A moment later, Chu Feng had fully recovered. With his back to the Holy Sons, his bones crackled like popping beans. When he turned around again, his face was no longer youthful; it was barely distinguishable from his adult appearance.

"Hmm, you two old fellows are quite tenacious; still alive," Chu Feng remarked. He didn't care about the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, only harboring slight apprehension towards the two Golden Body level evolutionaries.

He walked forward, then activated the Heavenly Fire and Thunderous Sound Domain with all his might, unleashing its destructive power.

"Young man, let's talk this over," the old woman said, looking at Chu Feng. "In this world, no enmity is truly irreconcilable. Everything can be discussed calmly; it's all about profit."

That old woman spoke, looking at Chu Feng. She felt apprehensive, knowing she was extremely weak and would truly perish if burned by the heavenly fire in the domain again.

"Unfortunately, you don't even qualify for me to talk to you," Chu Feng replied. "You are neither Holy Sons of major clans nor special physique holders. To your clans, your deaths would mean little, and selling you probably wouldn't yield much ransom. Moreover, leaving you alive poses some danger. So, it's time for you to go on your way."

Chu Feng further activated the large domain, concentrating all its energy to refine them. Various symbols densely rose, engulfing the two individuals.

"Ah…"

The two great experts screamed miserably. Their end was tragic; they were burned alive by the heavenly fire, their flesh drying up until they became mere skeletons.

Pffft! Pffft!

Chu Feng stood at a distance and released flying swords, severing the two experts' heads, which rolled away, ending their lives.

He even used his Reincarnation Blade to finish them off. It was lamentable that these two Golden Body level evolutionaries were killed without ever truly getting to make a move from beginning to end, dying such an unjust death.

The faces of the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters all turned green. With two great Golden Body experts dead, they completely lost hope; there was no possibility of escape.

Chu Feng said, "Treasures are everywhere. Take a look and choose which secret treasure you like."

Old Donkey said, "So many weapons laid out before us, which ones should we choose? What a headache. Ah, these aliens are truly enthusiastic! They travel billions of miles to Earth just to deliver gifts, shedding their blood along the way. How praiseworthy and moving!"

All the Holy Sons wanted to kill him, but they could only respond with silence.

Toad, with an arrogant expression, said, "These guys' gifts aren't anything special. I don't want any of them; they're meaningless. I only want the Calamity-Free Divine Body as a sparring partner. I'll kill him eighteen times to hone my Divine King Body!"

"Be careful, there might be a big fish hidden here!" Yellow Ox warned.

Chu Feng nodded and led the group into the domain, where they began collecting treasures and delivering finishing blows.

All the Holy Sons' faces were pale and bloodless. Because after Chu Feng entered the field, he was truly ruthless. He picked up spears and halberds from the ground, directly piercing their vital points and pinning them to the ground, letting their blood flow freely.

The Big Black Ox and others delivered finishing blows, paralyzing their bodies. Even Golden Body level evolutionaries, treated this way, would be crippled and lose all their combat strength.

At this moment, even the benevolent Old Lama was solemnly chanting Buddhist mantras while delivering crippling blows to these Holy Sons.

At first, the Holy Daughters still held hope, but they soon discovered they were not given preferential treatment. They were also impaled by spears within the domain, their bodies being crippled.

"There really is a big fish!" Chu Feng, with his fiery golden eyes, saw clearly. Even if someone wanted to hide, they couldn't escape his notice. He found another Golden Body level evolutionary.

He said nothing more. His Reincarnation Blade flashed, severing the individual's head, which rolled away, ending the expert's life.

A total of seventy-four Holy Sons and Holy Daughters survived, but all of them were either crippled by the heavenly fire within the domain or incapacitated by Chu Feng and his companions, having lost all combat power.

All of them were tightly bound with spirit-binding ropes or metal divine chains, becoming prisoners!

If Chu Feng hadn't intentionally controlled the domain during his tribulation, most of these people would have been burned to death, with only a few survivors.

Chu Feng said, "This time, we will completely cripple them, render them useless, and then contact their clans to demand ransom!"

All the resources obtained from selling Holy Sons last time had been exhausted, including Six Paths Reincarnation Pills. Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and a group of Kunlun great devils had been hunted down and nearly died several times, only surviving thanks to those pills.

This time, they could sell this group of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters for scriptures, powerful medicines, and other valuable items.

Over nine thousand evolutionaries had died here, leaving behind an immense amount of items. Although many had turned to ash from the tribulation, numerous objects remained intact. Any undamaged artifacts were naturally treasures.

Among them, some materials could be re-melted and forged into rare secret treasures!

"We're rich! So many rare weapons; we can extract their essence and forge some divine treasures."

They collected the treasures, eventually piling them up to form a mountain of magical artifacts. All sorts of dazzling, colorful, and brilliant items were present.

***

Outside Earth, a group of mighty experts and Saints awaited news. This composed group all wore peaceful smiles, certain that an allied army of such caliber could not be defeated.

"Report!" Someone rushed into outer space to report to them.

Meanwhile, in the starry sea, evolutionaries from various major sects were also waiting, monitoring the situation through primeval beast platforms and other channels, eager to learn the battle results as soon as possible.

Outside Earth, a mighty expert said with a faint smile, "Speak slowly, don't rush."

"Annihilated... they were all annihilated!" The evolutionary who had rushed into outer space gasped for breath, covered in sweat. He seemed extremely agitated, his body trembling, even his lips quivering.

"Hehe, a very normal result," said Mu Qinghan, the female Saint of the Spirit Race, a gentle smile on her face. She nodded and added, "Everything is within our expectations."
