Chapter 721: Divine Body Chu Feng

The air was thick with chaotic energy amidst the jumbled rocks, where ancient halls and magnificent stone mountains stood, along with a colossal three-legged demonic cauldron!

“Ah!”

The three cried out. After each grabbing a leg of the cauldron, they felt their blood evaporating and escaping their bodies, turning into red light that flowed into the great cauldron.

The Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and the Black Ox trembled, their bodies weakening. The three of them were withering, their vital essence and mental energy being extracted.

“This demonic cauldron is trying to claim our lives! Ouyang, the Divine King, will fight you to the death!” the Toad roared. One of his hands was held fast by a cauldron leg, unable to break free. He suddenly stood on his hands and kicked at the shimmering great cauldron with his feet.

A deafening clang resounded, but in that same instant, Ouyang Feng’s face contorted, his golden markings almost pressed together, as he felt an excruciating pain. That foot felt like it was breaking; blood gushed out, and after kicking the demonic cauldron, his toes appeared to be fractured.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the Yellow Ox opened its mouth and spat out a stream of pure white light—a burst of primordial energy—that struck the great cauldron. However, it was repelled, unable to move the cauldron.

At the same time, the trio’s vital essence was draining even more severely, their physical bodies shriveling at a visible rate.

“The words on that stone tablet were misleading, this damn thing is trying to kill us!” roared the Black Ox. Then, the two horns on his head detached, transforming into two crescent-moon sabers that flew out to help the Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng, aiming to break open the cauldron legs and free them.

Clang, clang, clang!

Sparks flew. The old ox’s rough horn almost broke, striking the cauldron leg, which remained completely unmoving. The saber itself was nearly shattered.

At this moment, the Black Ox tore open several wounds on his body, causing blood to gush out and stain the great cauldron. He roared, “If it’s a blood sacrifice you want, your grandpa ox will give it to you! Let them go!” At the same time, he shook his hand and threw the preserved blood-medicine of his Calamity-Free Divine Body into the cauldron’s mouth, shouting, “Go, take it all!”

The great cauldron trembled, and for an instant, its legs shook. This caused the Toad and the Yellow Ox to jolt, and with a desperate struggle, they actually broke free.

Then, they watched as the Black Ox shriveled at an astonishing rate, instantly becoming skin and bones, indistinguishable from the living dead found in Mount Immortality.

“Old Black!”

The Yellow Ox roared, its voice still young, but now utterly heartbroken. The Black Ox had lost all his essence and was on the verge of dying immediately.

“Old Ox, hold on!” Ouyang Feng also shouted. At the same time, he unleashed his peerless painting. One divine beast after another emerged, treading on stars, paying homage to him. The painting unfurled, covering the sky, and surged towards the great cauldron.

The Yellow Ox also erupted, covered in golden symbols. As if bathed in sacred flames, it roared, unleashing its peerless painting while also raising its head and charging towards the great cauldron.

The Black Ox roared, saying, “No! Fall back! This strange medicine cauldron needs the vital essence of different beings. Three cauldron legs, and now three different types are enough. I’ll continue to supply it; don’t get yourselves involved!”

Boom, boom, boom!

The area exploded. Various symbols churned, and energy boiled. The Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng were both sent flying, sustaining heavy injuries. Their attacks were ineffective.

Most importantly, they saw that the Calamity-Free Divine Body blood that the Black Ox had thrown in was also shaken out of the cauldron’s mouth.

The Yellow Ox quickly retrieved it, anxiously saying, “Zhou Shang is not a demon; this blood is useless. Old Ox, drink it!” It poured the blood directly into the Black Ox’s mouth. Originally, Old Black was so shriveled as to be unrecognizable, his eyes dull, almost like a dead man.

But nourished by the red blood-medicine containing divine medicine, his life force revived. This was a purified supreme treasure medicine extending his life. The Black Ox came back to life once more, but that cauldron leg was still furiously drawing him in. Before long, he was again gaunt, skin and bones.

Moreover, his once shiny black fur had long since dulled and was falling out in large patches, leaving him completely bald and looking utterly aged.

“Damn it, we’ve been harmed by the ancients, deceived by the legends of Mount Immortality!” Ouyang Feng’s eyes were bloodshot.

The Black Ox was in such a wretched state, on the verge of collapse. This filled them with immense frustration. They had rushed in, risking their lives, only for this to be the outcome? The Yellow Ox decisively cut a wound on itself, rushed to the Black Ox, and poured its blood onto the cauldron leg, intending to replace the Black Ox.

The Black Ox was very weak and tried hard to push him away, saying, “No, Little Yellow... get away! I, Old Ox, have been so useless lately, always letting those from beyond the domain cause trouble without being able to do anything. This time, if I don’t succeed, I’ll die a hero. Don’t do anything foolish; you’re a good seed, you can fight for our ox clan, battle, and wipe out those sons of bitches!”

“Old Black, don’t be foolish! We haven’t reached the end of our rope yet; you can’t die, live for me!” the Yellow Ox shouted.

“Old Black, if you dare to die, I’ll marry your so-called Ox Fairy, I promise I won’t save her for you!” Ouyang Feng also roared.

“You toad bastard... dare to anger your grandpa ox, I... *cough*!” The Black Ox spat out his last mouthful of blood, his neck twisted, and he lay there weakly, his eyes completely dull and lifeless.

“Damn it, Old Ox, how can you die?! Get back to life! Your grandpa Ouyang will slap you to death!” Ouyang Feng grabbed the old ox and pulled him back forcefully, while also slapping the Black Ox several times across the face, trying to wake him up, to bring him back to life.

“What the... you bastard, you really hit me?” The Black Ox spoke, actually coming back to life.

The Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng were overjoyed and quickly tried to drag him back, but his body was stuck to the great cauldron and couldn’t be pulled away. The Black Ox spoke weakly, saying, “This blood sacrifice method works... but I can’t go on... it’s just a final flicker of life... Toad, when you see the Ox Fairy, don’t forget to tell my father at the family sacrifice.” Then, his neck twisted, and this time, he truly breathed his last.

Ouyang Feng grew frantic, shaking his body forcefully and roaring, “Old Black, you bastard! Even in death, you’re taking advantage of me! Get back to life! If you don’t, I’ll burn your body, dig up your future grave, and make sure you don’t rest in peace even after you die!”

“Old Black, wake up!” The Yellow Ox also roared, pushing his shriveled body, which was now nothing more than a skeleton. All his vital essence had completely drained away. Unfortunately, the Calamity-Free Divine Body blood-medicine was now exhausted; it had all been poured into the Black Ox’s mouth and was used up.

Jiangning, Zijin Mountain.

In the small world deep within the Earth’s core, Chu Feng’s body was on the verge of exploding, covered in cracks. After scattering the pollen onto the mother-gold chains outside the ancient coffin, he rapidly retreated. Even so, the terrifying fluctuations and the energy of the supreme expert’s revival still nearly caused him to explode, almost leading to his complete annihilation.

This was the result of Chu Ba Wang protecting him. One could imagine how monstrous and terrifying Yao Yao’s grandfather was. If he were to truly lose all emotion and only know slaughter from then on, it would indeed be an endless catastrophe!

“Alright, I will circulate my breathing technique to adjust and then immediately fall into slumber. I will revive in half a day, at which point a section of the divine mother-gold chain will break off, and I will directly enter the starry sky. But I will only have one breath’s time!” This was the voice from within the ancient coffin, immensely grand, shaking within this small world, every word like a great mountain crashing down upon one’s heart.

Would a single breath of combat time be enough to bury the Black Sword Dynasty? If it truly were annihilated, and then revealed to the Dark Hunters at the last moment, what would be their reaction? A single breath of combat, it was estimated, would leave even the Heavenspears speechless.

At this moment, as Chu Feng retreated, he was astonished to discover that after being shaken and injured, his body was overflowing with wisps of faintly blue glowing blood.

“Huh?!” He was greatly startled. What was this? What had happened? He was utterly perplexed. The last time he underwent tribulation, his body had been severely damaged, and at that time, the blood flowing was still red. How, in just a few days, had it turned blue?

He thought carefully. After the tribulation, his body had undergone a fierce transformation, and perhaps the change in blood color began then.

“Deep blue divine blood, the same color as this planet...” Chu Ba Wang said instinctively.

“What divine blood? I don’t want it; I only want normal, bright red blood!” Chu Feng said. His inexplicable transformation into a divine body didn’t bring him joy, but rather some concern.

“There’s a way to fix it,” Chu Ba Wang said, but then he tilted his head, thought for a long moment, and said, “I forgot.”

This slightly put Chu Feng at ease. He didn’t yet understand what deep blue divine blood entailed, but since there was a way to fix it, he could advance or retreat as needed. “Divine blood, I actually have divine blood. How did this happen?” he murmured to himself. Some cultivators could obtain it by consuming great medicines.

Could it be that the divine medicine he harvested in the Land of Myriad Gods not only reverted his age but also influenced the transformation of his bloodline?

Any divine blood, dao body, etc., exhibited extraordinary characteristics. Chu Feng was somewhat anticipating whether he could develop some terrifying ability. However, he preferred that after gaining the ability, the azure divine blood would revert to bright red.

Because he had once heard Yao Yao briefly mention that while so-called supreme physiques were indeed extraordinary, bright red blood was not inferior, perhaps even more transcendent.

Outside Earth, in space.

Within that super holy artifact, inside the grand War Imperial City, the Dark Saints spoke indifferently, “Have the fish arrived? Hurry and take the bait.” Several clients sat steadily, emanating holy might, quietly awaiting the results. The great net had been cast, and they hoped to capture all the big fish. There was no reason for a supposedly declining planet to flourish again; they intended to strangle all hope, kill it in its infancy, and destroy the coming revival opportunity for the natives of this planet.

“Heh, these natives have degenerated to the lowest racial groups, no different from beasts. Don’t even think about rising again. The saying ‘a hand covering the sky’ is real; I will make you understand that we destroyed you in ancient times, and today, we can even more easily sever the path of evolution for all of you!” “Hmm, a group of low-level barbarians, like animals. Today, we’ll first hunt a few big fish, and then, we’ll also conveniently solve the problem of this planet. From now on, this place will be a medicine garden and livestock enclosure for our various families!”

In the War Imperial City, everyone wore expressions of indifference, their conversations devoid of emotional fluctuation, as if discussing a trivial matter.

East Sea, deep within Mount Immortality.

In a flash, nearly half a day had passed. The Black Ox’s body was cold, almost rigid. The Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng growled, also performing the blood sacrifice. Both were holding onto the great cauldron, their bodies skin and bones, their vital essence severely drained. But they knew it was almost done; they were on the verge of mastering this demonic cauldron and becoming the masters of Mount Immortality.

“Old Ox, you damn well made your grandpa Ouyang sad! You were still a virgin ox, you hadn’t even had a partner yet, and you just died like that? Aren’t you ashamed?!” Ouyang Feng wailed.

“Don’t hit someone in the face... don’t expose their weaknesses when you scold them, Ouyang Toad... Damn you!” From inside the cauldron, the Black Ox’s extremely weak voice came, cursing.

“Huh?” Both the Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng were stunned, then their minds reeled with immense surprise and joy.

“Old Ox, your body is outside, how did your ghost get into the great cauldron?” the Yellow Ox asked.

“I’m being cooked! You guys, put in more effort, we’re almost successful! Let’s wipe out those damn jun-tuo bastards from beyond the domain!” the Black Ox roared, and then added, “Ouyang, your grandpa ox wants to kill you!”
