Chapter 712: Dark Ancestor

In the night sky, a fiery red furnace glowed, trapping the hunter from the Firmament Assassins. Ironically, he, who once hunted, had now become the prey.

Holding the bronze plate, he remained silent, his gaze fixed coldly on Chu Feng. Trapped and suppressed by the domain symbols, he showed no panic, only indifference and a challenging stare.

"Still indifferent, not saying a word. Are you trying to provoke me?" Chu Feng smiled, but his smile was cold.

The Black Ox, Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and others also scowled with anger. Their immediate impression was that this hunter was completely unafraid. He had come to assassinate, yet maintained this defiant stance even after being captured. The members of this organization were truly arrogant!

Chu Feng made his move!

As he held the Divine Magnetic Mountain Seal and gently vibrated it, the runes on the great ship became denser, all rising and flying into the sky, merging into the fiery red furnace.

The hunter from the Firmament Assassins still didn't speak. His eyes, like daggers, sharply looked down at Chu Feng despite being trapped high above. He raised the bronze plate high in front of him, as if issuing a warning or intimidating everyone around.

At that moment, the bronze plate turned a deep crimson, and then threads of blood began to seep from it!

"This is the Firmament Assassins' bronze blood warning," someone whispered. "If the captive is released, they'll let bygones be bygones, terminate this mission, and cease attempts on Chu Feng's life. From then on, they'll go their separate ways."

The Black Ox asked, "Oh, so this is their way of reluctantly backing down? I want to know, if he stops assassinating Chu Feng after being released, what about the other members of the Firmament Assassins organization?"

"That... I don't know," someone replied. "But this seed-level combatant definitely won't continue."

Hearing this, Chu Feng sneered, "How overbearing! So the Firmament Assassins fail an assassination, and a bronze plate gifted by a powerful being allows them to demand that the target let bygones be bygones, and even be grateful to their organization?"

Just then, after Chu Feng vibrated the Divine Magnetic Mountain Seal, the fiery red furnace in the sky became blinding, its domain symbols astonishing, and fierce flames raged within.

Furthermore, a large hand appeared within the furnace flames, visibly reaching towards the black wings on the young hunter's back.

People were astonished to see that Chu Feng, on the great ship, held the seal in one hand while his other hand moved, and the large hand formed by domain symbols in the divine furnace high above mirrored his actions.

"Bang!"

Inside the fiery red furnace, flames surged. The young hunter struggled, his body trembling from the burning, as his wings were seized.

"Stop!" he roared.

"Finally, you speak!" Chu Feng sneered, unmoved. The hand continued its motion, and the large hand within the fiery furnace directly grabbed the wings, intent on tearing them off!

"Chu Feng, my mission has failed this time. How about we end it here? I will never again attempt to assassinate you, not in this lifetime." The young man's voice was very cold.

Everyone looked surprised. The members of the Firmament Assassins were notoriously difficult to deal with, and no one knew the location of their base, which was one reason they could intimidate major evolutionist sects. Now, a seed-level expert was helpless against Chu Feng, had failed his assassination, and was conceding, which was astonishing.

Just as many thought Chu Feng might be swayed, he did move, but only his hand. With a tearing sound, he brutally ripped off the black wings of the young man imprisoned in the furnace, sending blood splattering.

At that moment, the young hunter from the Firmament Assassins, like a fallen angel, suddenly looked up, his black hair wildly disheveled, his eyes terrifying like black holes, roaring incessantly!

"Chu Feng!" he bellowed in rage!

Chu Feng responded coldly and with utmost composure, "What are you? After trying to assassinate me, you dare to put on such a display? Your Grandpa Chu has even slain a saint from the Celestial Race on the Sky Vine. Why would I fear a creature like you, who shies from the light and belongs only in the darkness?"

Many gasped in surprise. No one had expected Chu Feng to be so decisive and utterly dominant, directly tearing off the wings of this hunter, who was close to the Golden Body level!

Inside the furnace, it was bloody. The young man was growling and roaring, his eyes chillingly fixed on Chu Feng. The hand holding the bronze plate was clenched so tightly it had turned bluish.

At this point, many people cried out in alarm.

Then, the Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, Zhou Quan, and others also reacted, because someone was looking at a light-brain device, and they gathered around to discover the problem.

"There's an old geezer causing trouble!" the Black Ox motioned to Chu Feng, telling him to look at the Primal Beast Platform.

At this moment, the cosmos was also unsettled, completely shaken.

Whenever the Firmament Assassins struck, it brought bloodshed and terror, making all races wary. They had killed more than just one or two saints, truly embodying bloody terror!

Some said they were even more terrifying than the previous Top Ten organizations, because one never knew when they would appear to deliver a fatal blow!

At this moment, a formidable figure was speaking on the Primal Beast Live Stream Platform. It was an elder, completely cloaked in black robes, his face hidden. His sleeves were embroidered with the Firmament Assassins' emblem: a black spear piercing the sky.

In addition, his sleeve also bore a golden, crescent moon, dripping with blood, signifying his identity as a Sub-Saint of the Firmament Assassins!

"Chu Feng, I'm giving you one last chance. Release my Firmament Assassin. His mission failed, and from now on, he will never assassinate you again."

Sub-Saint level dark hunters made even saints uneasy and extremely wary, because they didn't play by the rules and never engaged in direct combat, making them impossible to guard against.

"He failed, but what about the others in your organization? Will they still come?" the Black Ox asked.

Chu Feng remained calm and did not speak.

The Sub-Saint level dark hunter responded indifferently, "If someone else offers a bounty, and the price is high enough, other members of our organization can accept the mission. I will not give you any promises here!"

"Heh heh..." Chu Feng laughed, his tone full of coldness. He said nothing more, but instead began to act directly, because this organization was too arrogant and overbearing, daring to speak to him in such a manner!

In the red furnace, the large hand formed by domain symbols moved, tearing off the young assassin's arm, sending blood splattering. Simultaneously, the severed black wings were consumed by the furnace flames, turning to ash!

"Ah..." The youth howled in the red furnace. His right arm had been torn off, and his face was utterly pale, showing panic for the first time. However, his resolve was truly strong; he still did not beg for mercy.

"Chu Feng, you are defying the good intentions of a Dark Saint. You will surely die!" the elder on the Primal Beast Platform said coldly.

"You're nothing!" This was Chu Feng's reply.

In an instant, the entire Primal Beast Platform erupted. Countless people were watching, deeply moved to see Chu Feng dare to confront a Dark Saint of the Firmament Assassins so forcefully. They wondered, how many would dare to be so unyielding? Most would certainly be extremely wary in such a situation.

"Chu Feng, I give you one last chance. Release him, and I can grant you a dignified death," the elder, entirely shrouded in black robes, said icily on the Primal Beast Platform. Evidently, he valued this seed-level hunter greatly and was still attempting a final rescue. Of course, he also knew that Chu Feng would not change his mind, which was why his terms remained harsh. At this very moment, the Dark Saint's psychological state was surprisingly conflicted.

"Stop babbling, and you're sick!" This was Chu Feng's reply, completely disregarding the Dark Saint and showing no respect.

The elder, completely hidden in black robes, spoke chillingly, "From this day forward, even if no one commissions us, we will kill you. We will hunt you until your body and spirit are utterly destroyed. This is a promise!"

All the guests were awestruck, focusing on the Primal Beast Platform and then on Chu Feng. A demon king was now confronting a terrifying lineage; this was going to be something to behold.

"Firmament Assassins, what are you? Your Grandpa Chu dares to fight against countless evolutionists, annihilated an alliance of hundreds of evolutionist sects in one battle, and killed over nine thousand strong experts. Why would I fear a shadowy organization like yours? What if you add another one to your ranks?!" Chu Feng spoke with disdain, coldness, and arrogance, openly challenging them.

On the Primal Beast Platform, the Dark Saint's gaze was chillingly cold. Everyone was terrified, as if they could feel the boundless killing intent through the intergalactic network.

"Your Grandpa Chu has annihilated even the Celestial Race and killed members of the Xilin and Underworld races without hesitation. What makes you Firmament Assassins so arrogant? You're nothing but cave-dwelling rats who hide from the light. If you dare provoke me, I'll wipe you all out!"

This powerful declaration deeply shook everyone.

"As expected of Demon King Chu, not even afraid of the Firmament Assassins! Amazing!"

"This... is very Chu Feng!" Many people sighed with emotion.

"Now, let's add an auction item: a seed-level assassin from the Firmament Assassins. Who wants him?" Chu Feng called out.

"What's the starting bid?" the Black Ox asked.

"One thousand Six Paths Reincarnation Pills, and one thousand drops of Hell Ant Nectar!" Chu Feng stated calmly.

Everyone understood that he was humiliating the Firmament Assassins. He was showing that he dared to auction off even a seed-level combatant from the Firmament Assassins, fearing nothing. He was determined to fight to the very end!

"Chu Feng, you are foolish. Not even a god can save you now!" the Dark Saint said coldly.

Chu Feng activated the red furnace, causing screams to erupt from within. The wingless young man, like a fallen angel, struggled desperately, but it was useless. He was incinerated, breaking apart piece by piece in the fierce flames, turning into charcoal.

Like a doomsday judgment, the man quickly met a gruesome end high in the sky. Finally, the furnace disintegrated, and everything concluded.

"Chu Feng, you have provoked those you shouldn't have. We are kings and saints who walk in darkness; you are finished!" the elder, completely shrouded in darkness, roared.

"I also want to tell you: you have provoked those you shouldn't have. Dark kings and saints are nothing. Your Grandpa Chu is the Ancestor of Darkness! Do you really think your assassinations are so strong, so powerful? Your Grandpa Chu can still annihilate forces from all sides by himself, and act with far more precision and finality than you. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this auction event. Look at yourselves—you merely hide in caves, shying away from the light. What great deeds can you accomplish?!"

This was blatant humiliation and mockery.

Then, Chu Feng further announced, "Tonight, anyone who successfully bids, in addition to the cosmic currency, must provide me with an extra piece of information about the Firmament Assassins. I want to destroy them!"

He added, "Celestial Race, you must set an example. Given your ancient heritage, you should know more. If you provide information, I'll give you a discount: one less Six Paths Reincarnation Pill. Yes, others will also get this offer. Otherwise, taking the Celestial Race as an example, don't even think about keeping that Celestial relic—I'll throw it into a latrine. If other organizations don't cooperate, I'll chop off their saint sons, one by one!"

For a brief moment, the entire cosmos fell silent.

This guy... he truly was a terrifying demon king. At this moment, many genuinely believed he was even more fearsome than the Firmament Assassins.

"He's trying to mobilize the power of all races! He wants to drag the Firmament Assassins out and deal with them once and for all!" someone whispered.

"He truly is a terrifying demon king, surpassing even the Firmament Assassins!"
