Chapter 784: You Respected Elder Chu

“Before me, no ancients. Behind me, no future generations. Thinking of the eternity of heaven and earth, alone, I feel sorrowful and tears fall.” Chu Feng, in a dramatic and passionate manner, said, “The rolling waters of the east flow away; across the vast expanse of ancient and modern times, only I remain awake, feeling profound sorrow, and my only hope lies in the next life. My other identity is—the Melancholy King of Rebirth!”

The geniuses covered by the crimson lightning were speechless.

The onlookers in the distance were also silent.

Those who hated him wanted to curse, and even those not directly involved were utterly speechless.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for him to reveal his true identity and origins. Instead, this scoundrel, utterly devoid of morals or integrity, wantonly distorted ancient sayings of past sages to declare himself the inexplicable Melancholy King of Rebirth?

“Rebirth” (Wang Sheng) indeed corresponded to “Reincarnation” (Lunhui), so in that sense, it was him; there was nothing wrong with that.

However, many people wanted to give him a severe beating. This Wu Lunhui truly deserved to be suppressed; he was absolutely full of hot air! At that moment, they wished for a being at the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Body realm to blast him to smithereens, to beat him until he had no fight left!

Many gritted their teeth, filled with intense hatred.

“Your sister!” At that moment, even Shi Wu, the Vajra Protector of the Buddhist clan, couldn’t help but curse under his breath, which showed how utterly enraged he was.

Everyone wanted to know if Wu Lunhui had another background. Furthermore, some vaguely suspected he might be connected to Chu Feng and were waiting for him to confirm it himself.

However, the outcome was disappointing; everyone was displeased. This scoundrel had merely been toying with them all along, revealing nothing.

The “Melancholy King of Rebirth”—nobody believed a word of it!

Ouyang Feng stared at Shi Wu and said, “Yellow hair, your sister! If you’ve got the guts, say that again? Come here, I promise not to kill you, but I’ll teach you how to recite the Reincarnation Rebirth Sutra.”

“Crack!”

In the distance, crimson lightning flashed, and several more individuals were blasted apart, transforming into showers of light that surged skyward.

Chu Feng calmly activated his large bell, drawing in the showers of light, and once again began to use his unique art to absorb divine particles.

Some managed to break free from the death vortex with the help of surrogate death talismans, but they couldn’t escape entirely.

Several crimson mountain peaks formed a crescent shape, encircling them from behind and blocking their retreat. Crimson lightning continuously flew from that direction, and the escape route was blocked by Wu Lunhui.

Chu Feng was growing stronger, while they were being continuously weakened. If this continued, their fate was sealed.

“I really want to kill him!” the Great Evolution Battle Body muttered. He had paid a huge price to escape the dense crimson lightning zone, hiding on the relatively safe periphery, filled with intense hostility. He glared at Chu Feng, his eyes practically spitting fire.

“Amitabha, even I, the Buddhist lord, want to kill him!” Shi Wu, enveloped in Buddhist light, was also extremely furious. He wanted to kill Chu Feng, and even more, he wanted to eliminate Ouyang Feng.

In fact, Wu Lunhui was more formidable than they imagined. After activating his unique art and absorbing a large quantity of divine particles, he launched an offensive, pressing forward.

His Soul Bell vibrated, unleashing an indiscriminate attack. In an instant, ripples from the bell swept over everyone.

For them, a life-or-death crisis had arrived. Wu Lunhui’s personal assault was surely meant to kill, and each of them had already been severely wounded by the lightning, their bodies maimed.

Clang, clang, clang...

Indeed, it was a fierce assault. Even with powerful masters like Shi Hong, the Feathered Divine Body, Jin Lin, and Ying Zhexian gathered there, they found it incredibly difficult.

Most crucially, Chu Feng coldly smiled, conjuring soul light after soul light to activate the pre-engraved domains beneath the ground, re-igniting the area to aid his attack.

Everyone’s expressions changed; this was simply adding insult to injury, pushing them closer to death.

“Wu Lunhui, you are too arrogant! Do you really think one person can kill all of us? Everyone, we must unite! Don’t think about letting others do the hard work while you hide and wait for a chance to break through. If we all attack together, even in our heavily wounded state, we can likely kill him!” the Great Evolution Saint Body called out in a low voice.

“Exactly, that makes sense! If we genuinely unite our efforts, we can certainly kill this fiend!” the Purple Cloud Golden Body also spoke, his eyes gleaming.

In an instant, everyone reacted because it was true: if they all expected others to fight to the death while they hid, then ultimately, everyone would perish.

First, a peculiar soul light from Jin Lin flew out—a typical single technique that shatters all others, possessing immense power.

“Om!”

“Ma!”

Shi Hong and Shi Wu each chanted the true words of the Buddhist clan, unleashing astonishing mysterious energy from their mouths. It transformed into intricate symbols that flew forward, causing the ground to crack and then collapse. The sight was terrifying, and the destructive power astounding.

The domains set up by Chu Feng sent large clusters of symbols soaring, colliding with the various spiritual energies unleashed by the crowd. In addition, the ripples from his Soul Bell were also reverberating.

The area exploded. This fierce battle once again drew the crimson lightning to spread further, reaching this zone.

Chu Feng decisively retreated!

The others frantically dodged, looking utterly dishevelled, nearly falling back into the deadly electric light.

Chu Feng spoke, “I truly want to sell all of you and demand all sorts of divine treasures from the old monsters in your clans. However, that might be inappropriate. To be safe, it’s best to turn you into divine particles.”

“What did you say?!” Someone’s soul trembled. They increasingly felt a familiar aura. A human trafficker?

“Your Granddaddy Wu Lunhui says he wants to sell you, and he also wants to tell you that your Granddaddy Wu is actually your beloved Granddaddy Chu!” The seemingly young and immature Wu Lunhui declared loudly, officially announcing it.

The place erupted in chaos!

Although many had long suspected it, there was no concrete evidence because Wu Lunhui’s face was too youthful, appearing only fourteen or fifteen, which didn’t match Chu Feng.

Most crucially, Wu Lunhui had Human King Blood flowing within him, whereas the blood Chu Feng had shed years ago, collected by some powerful clans, was not of this lineage at all.

Furthermore, Wu Lunhui had once fought Chu Feng to the death in front of many people, which was incredibly deceptive.

“Damn it!” the Great Evolution Battle Body was the first to rage. He felt utterly played. It was actually Chu Feng, that demonic human trafficker, who had been entangled in conflict with them!

In the distance, many onlookers were also stunned. This handsome young man was Chu Feng? This was truly groundbreaking.

“Luo Yin, let’s go kill him!” the Eldest Disciple Sister of the Great Dream Pure Land spoke, strongly suggesting that everyone eliminate Chu Feng together. This was incredibly ironic.

This was Chu Feng, whom they had barred from attending the Great Dream Pure Land’s grand event. Who could have imagined he would transform into Wu Lunhui, joyfully receive a golden invitation, and calmly and leisurely attend? It was a massive slap in the face.

Some disciples of the Great Dream Pure Land grew restless.

Qin Luoyin said, “Don’t be reckless. Didn’t you see? Before he revealed his true identity, he secretly carved many symbols in this area. He’s waiting for the onlookers to rush in!”

She knew Chu Feng too well. That despicable fellow had definitely carved another domain. Was he preparing a defense, or was he trying to ensnare their Great Dream Pure Land?

“Ahem, I was just afraid these people, who are being struck by lightning, would escape, so I made some minor arrangements,” Chu Feng secretly transmitted.

“Who are you trying to fool? You want to lure our people inside!” Qin Luoyin retorted.

“Chu Feng, Wu Lunhui, you despicable human trafficker, you are utterly shameless!” the Great Evolution Battle Body roared, highly indignant.

In fact, everyone who had been subjected to the crimson lightning attack wished they could instantly skin Chu Feng alive and swallow him whole. To only now realize who the true culprit was felt like a profound insult.

“Hey everyone, long time no see, I’ve missed you all greatly!” Chu Feng chuckled, greeting everyone. Immediately, a group of people gritted their teeth in anger, their noses practically steaming with fury.

Upon closer reflection, ever since Wu Lunhui stopped being “righteous and chivalrous,” his various actions were exactly like Chu Feng, just like that human trafficker.

After fighting tooth and nail to this point, this fellow still had the audacity to say “long time no see” and “I’ve missed you greatly.” This was a mass taunt, a provocation, making everyone want to stomp him dead with a shoe!

“Fellow Daoists, I truly can’t stand this! Can’t we just take him down? Kill him!” Someone incited the crowd, eager to eliminate Chu Feng immediately.

“My old brothers and sisters, I feel like it’s been a long time since we parted. Don’t rush into battle; let’s catch up,” Chu Feng said, baring his white teeth, looking as if he was asking for a beating.

“Indeed, it’s been a long time since I sold a Saint Son or Divine Maiden. Granddaddy Ouyang isn’t quite used to it!” Ouyang Feng also nodded, then *Pffft* sprayed out a deluge of water. Being able to spit freely, he felt much more comfortable!

“Overlord Divine Body, Ou Ye, what’s going on with you? Aren’t you the son of Ancient Sage Juntuo?” someone shouted.

Ouyang Feng, who had just been feeling triumphant, immediately had numerous dark lines appear on his face upon hearing this. He furiously retorted, “God-damned son of Juntuo! I am your Granddaddy Ouyang, Ouyang Feng, the Divine King, understand?!”

This self-introduction stunned everyone. So, this Overlord Divine Body was also fake? Was it the toad demon from Earth?

Everyone wanted to curse. Missing one Chu Feng was bad enough, but then there was also a cross-eyed toad spitting everywhere, who had grandly deceived everyone! It felt incredibly humiliating!

“I warn you, whoever dares to say Granddaddy Ouyang is related to Juntuo again, I’ll annihilate thirteen of your clans!”

“Everyone, can you tolerate this? This is Chu Feng, the great devil, that notorious human trafficker!” Someone loudly transmitted a message to the hundreds of onlookers in the distance, trying to incite them to join the battle. “Moreover, he is utterly despicable and shameless, appearing as the ‘righteous and glorious’ Wu Lunhui to deceive all of us. Damn that ‘chivalry’! This is an insult to us. Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that all heroes rise up together to execute this devil!”

Chu Feng’s mental power was terrifying. An ordinary person would be unable to determine who was secretly inciting and transmitting such messages. However, he had now absorbed so many divine particles that he instantly identified the source: it was the Great Evolution Battle Body inciting them in secret.

“You said that?!” Chu Feng reacted immediately, launching a fierce preemptive strike and charging forward.

The great battle erupted. His objective was clear: abandoning the others, he focused his attack entirely on the Great Evolution Battle Body. He ultimately shattered the man’s body, then conjured his Soul Bell to capture him alive.

“Brother Chu, if we had known it was you, we would certainly have helped you. We are on the same side,” Yuan Shicheng’s siblings secretly transmitted to Chu Feng at the same time.

“Chu Feng, it really is you. Why would you do this? You know that Xiaoxiao is very fond of you, and we have no grievances with Earth; we even fought a battle for you against Wu Lunhui...” Ying Zhexian spoke, unhurriedly.

Chu Feng didn’t rush to respond. Instead, he concentrated on activating his unique art, refining the two severed parts of the Great Evolution Battle Body into divine particles.

“No!” the Great Evolution Battle Body cried in terror. This was complete annihilation of both body and spirit.

However, Chu Feng showed no mercy. He pulled Ouyang Feng to activate their unique art together, fearing even a few wisps of light from the Great Evolution Battle Body might escape.

Both their mental powers were increasing!

Ouyang Feng said, “This is a bit wasteful. This is the renowned Great Evolution Battle Body constitution. The Calamity-free Divine Body created Old Ox. If this guy were alive, extracting the blood-medicine from his physical body might even create another Great Evolution Battle Body among our brothers.”

“Good point!” Chu Feng nodded.

Then, he decisively made a decision, also considering it an experiment: he severed half of the Great Evolution Battle Body’s foot, letting it escape into the vortex in the sky to return to its original universe.

The rest was refined into divine particles.

Many people stared in disbelief, feeling that this human trafficker was incredibly vicious!

“Tell me, if I let one foot escape, can he still come back to life?” Chu Feng whispered.

“After all, it’s all mental energy. Even half a foot probably contains a few wisps of life imprints. But I think his memory will likely be severely fragmented, and his consciousness will be flawed. Will he turn into a living idiot?” Ouyang Feng muttered.

“Who cares? As long as he’s alive, we’ll have a chance to refine him into blood-medicine later,” Chu Feng said.

Hearing this, people realized that these two scoundrels were worse and more devious than each other. Refining mental power here wasn’t enough for them; they were even thinking of going back to refine human physical bodies.

This... everyone silently mourned for the Great Evolution Battle Body.

“Next!” Chu Feng then fixed his gaze on the Purple Cloud Golden Body, intending to hunt them one by one.

A moment later, the Purple Cloud Golden Body also shrieked in agony. He was refined into divine particles by Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng, with only one foot allowed to escape back into the vortex in the sky.

In the original universe of these people, within the Great Dream Pure Land, there was considerable unease. Over a thousand spiritual bodies simultaneously returned to the divine hall, their physical bodies stirred, and they resurrected.

This shook the old monsters of the Great Dream Pure Land. It was truly tragic; so many people dying at once, their souls returning, the loss was too great.

Decades, even centuries, had passed in that world, while only a little over a day had passed in their original universe.

Therefore, very soon, they also saw the Great Evolution Battle Body return. Something was off; was his soul just one foot? In an instant, the Purple Cloud Golden Body also returned, still just one foot.

Then, one, two, three... just feet!

The old monsters of the Great Dream Pure Land simply couldn’t believe it. They rubbed their eyes vigorously, wondering if they were going mad!

Nothing this bizarre had ever happened before!

“Why do I feel like something major is about to happen? Why... are they all just feet?!”

“Wait a moment, they’re about to wake up. Let’s see if these returning spiritual bodies, one foot after another, can...”

This group of old monsters trembled, almost unable to speak. They were worried, they were afraid.

Because they felt something catastrophic was about to occur. Could these people truly revive? Even if they did, what state would they be in upon awakening?

An old monster shivered, “My dear little ancestors, please wake up quickly! Don’t scare us! Let us see what state you’re in!”
