Chapter 847: World-Famous Attention

The Great Dream Pure Land is currently a maelstrom of activity, capturing attention everywhere. Many platforms are reporting the latest news, drawing widespread notice from all sides.

Whether it’s the Primeval Beast Platform, the Black Blood Platform, or others, dedicated personnel are stationed to broadcast the latest developments to all races across the cosmos.

This has been permitted by the Great Dream Pure Land itself, as the situation is so immense that even they are somewhat anxious. After all, a year has passed, and it's still ongoing!

The ancient beings within the Pure Land wish for complete transparency regarding the situation. This way, if anything unexpected occurs, the various races won't be able to blame or trouble them.

"Latest report: Wu Lunhui, possessing the Bloodline of the Human King, has made a powerful return. His soul light surged to the sky, causing even elder figures to feel a deep unease, as if being suppressed."

"Perhaps not everyone understands what the Bloodline of the Human King entails. In a very ancient era, several kings emerged within the human race. They united, almost completely suppressing all races across the heavens. It was said that with the appearance of a Human King, all lands would be pacified, and no divine beasts, demonic creatures, or individuals with unique physiques could contend against them!"

Wu Lunhui's return undoubtedly caused an enormous stir, drawing even more attention to the remaining individuals in the Great Dream Pure Land.

"Let us wait and see who will be the ultimate king!"

Across the cosmos, people's emotions were ignited, and the excitement surged. Everyone was closely following this event.

This is because the ancient guardians of the divine temples in the Great Dream Pure Land have prophesied that the final trial is nearing its end, and the last few participants are expected to return soon.

Not only are those in the cosmic star sea paying attention, but even cultivators on Earth are following the developments, showing the immense scale of interest.

The great demons of the Immemorial Mountain, needless to say, already understood the situation.

The Black Blood Platform made further predictions, stating that Shi Hong, from the Buddhist clan, would likely be the last one standing. His power is immensely formidable, his soul light unparalleled, and after a century of enlightenment, he should surpass everyone else.

Some prominent figures on the Primeval Beast Platform, however, believed that Daozi Jinlin had a greater chance of winning. He possesses rare treasures of heaven and earth, with a single technique capable of breaking all others, making him unstoppable.

Immediately, many platforms across the starry sky erupted in heated discussions, all predicting who would be the final king, with supporters from various factions arguing incessantly.

"Stop arguing, you're so childish! Haven't you seen the latest broadcast? Only the Divine Son of my Corpse Clan has yet to return. Everyone else, including your Shi Hong and Jinlin, only had remnant souls escape. Is there any question about who the true number one, the real king, will be?"

Someone from the Corpse Clan made this arrogant declaration, instantly leaving many others speechless.

Of course, many remained unconvinced, citing the example of the Buddhist clan's top young master from sixty thousand years ago, who also had a remnant soul escape first but still managed to suppress all other masters upon the return of his main soul.

"What a joke, what are you arguing about? Who said only the Corpse Clan's individual is intact and hasn't returned? Luo Shirong, our Heavenly God Clan's own, an envoy from the chaotic cosmos, also hasn't made a move yet!"

The Heavenly God Clan spoke confidently, even though their candidates from the Netherworld Cosmos had already been eliminated and returned. They regarded Luo Shirong as one of their own and remained extremely self-assured.

Some sneered, pointing out that in the Netherworld Cosmos, the Heavenly God Clan had been crippled and dropped past the 250th rank. What was there to be proud of?

"Ah, what a pity. Demon King Chu didn't participate in the trials. Otherwise, he could have contended, perhaps even been the last one standing, the ultimate king!"

Many people expressed regret, feeling sorry for Chu Feng when this was mentioned.

"After this event, Chu Feng has fallen behind. He likely won't be able to compete with figures like Ying Wudi, Jinlin, Yan Luo, and Luo Shirong anymore. Lacking a century of accumulation, he is no longer a match for them."

"Haha... why do I feel like laughing? Demon Chu Feng, you've finally been outdone. You can no longer cause trouble for the geniuses of various cosmic races."

"Indeed, this time, Great Demon Chu has been completely outpaced by the top cosmic geniuses. He won't amount to anything significant."

While some expressed pity, many others gloated, believing Chu Feng was finished. After this event, he hadn't gained the greatest opportunity and couldn't compare to the strongest group of geniuses in the cosmos.

"Stop boasting! Be careful, your so-called 'heavenly prides' might still get crippled, beaten into pig heads, and sent scurrying away in fear if they encounter Demon Chu!"

Some people disagreed and defended Chu Feng, while also genuinely feeling sad and regretful for him, believing he would indeed fall behind.

Someone from the Great Dream Pure Land responded coldly, dismissively: "Chu Feng? He shouldn't even think about it. After offending my Great Dream Pure Land, does he still dream of rising? At the very least, he shouldn't expect to reach the peak of his generation in this lifetime!"

The group of great demons on Earth, however, were not anxious at all. Ever since they learned of Wu Lunhui's return, they were completely at ease.

"Oh, yes, yes, we're waiting! We're looking forward to Brother Chu Feng emerging from the Great Dream Pure Land and, before he leaves, marrying Qin Luoyin. Then, let's see where the Great Dream Pure Land will put its face!"

The group harbored resentment because the Great Dream Pure Land had been too arrogant, initially refusing to give Chu Feng a golden invitation.

Lately, discussions have been heated across the cosmos. The entire world is watching, with all eyes on the Great Dream Pure Land, everyone eager to see who will have the last laugh.

At the event's location, within the Great Dream Pure Land, beautiful peaks rise one after another. Spiritual energy wafts from the caves, divine trees and spiritual herbs emit auspicious glows, and exotic fragrances drift through the air.

Currently, the scenery here is tranquil, yet various forces are tense, all focused on the final outcome.

Many elder figures from various races have arrived, all awaiting the powerful return of their own exceptional prodigies!

"A bunch of monsters! Can they really last longer than me and Wu Lunhui, returning even later?" Ouyang Feng strolled through the Great Dream Pure Land, carrying his black tortoise shell, walking with a swagger, eyeing people disdainfully, almost spitting on the ground in indignation.

He ultimately failed to retain his memories, otherwise, he wouldn't be so grumpy.

"Look quickly, Jun Tuo's son has emerged from seclusion! How powerful! His soul light is perfectly contained, and his vital energy is formidable. Truly worthy of being a Tyrant God Physique, a dual physique wielder!"

"Sage Jun Tuo gained a son in his later years—he truly has an heir now. It's a pity he's still in the shattered cosmos within chaos and hasn't returned yet. If he knew his son was like this, he would surely be overjoyed."

"MMP…" Ouyang Feng's face darkened. He strode past those people with his swagger, not saying a word. If he weren't waiting for Chu Feng, he truly would have wanted to teach those cultivators a lesson on how to behave, then fight his way out of the Great Dream Pure Land.

At this moment, Chu Feng was in a state of intense activity. He was conditioning his body, circulating a breathing technique. Yin energy steamed from his entire being, making sizzling sounds, while his blood vitality became crystalline, then radiant, illuminating the entire cave dwelling.

After a brief self-examination, Chu Feng opened his eyes and stopped his breathing technique. Then, he meticulously began setting up intricate force fields to isolate the area from the outside, fearing someone might spy on him.

This was because some of his possessions were not meant to be seen.

Now, he was a grand master of force fields. When he truly set them up, few could see through them, ensuring his safety.

Soon after, the force field runes here lit up, various symbols resembling a sky full of stars. Chu Feng let out a long breath, completely at ease.

He set down the spiritual herbs he had borrowed from elders of various races, a considerable pile, but these were nothing compared to what he carried on him.

He had once risked his life to return the little Vermilion Bird to the Fallen Land, where he healed, consuming a drop of divine medicine liquid. Before setting off again, the elder Vermilion Bird had given him several more drops, all of which he brought back!

Additionally, he had Vermilion Bird blood. He had originally intended to bring the little Vermilion Bird's feathers and blood for experimentation, to see if they could be preserved after this return.

Unexpectedly, the elder Vermilion Bird also gave him some of its blood at the last moment, so he could test just how terrifying the black vortex truly was.

When he burst out of the vortex, he enveloped these items with his soul light, instantly submerging them into his physical body, successfully evading the attention of several golden-bodied monsters in the Great Dream Pure Land without being detected.

Now, Chu Feng took everything out.

"The little Vermilion Bird's feathers and blood were eroded and affected. Had I truly brought it back, its life and death would have been uncertain. But the elder Vermilion Bird's divine blood is perfectly intact!"

In Chu Feng's hand, the Vermilion Bird divine blood, sealed within crystal, emitted a soft glow, vividly crimson and seemingly ready to drip.

With a soft crack, he slightly unsealed it, and the entire cave dwelling immediately became dazzling. Crimson light surged and shimmered, incredibly bright and radiant.

"Thank you, Senior Vermilion Bird. This was originally just for experimentation, but now it will perfect my physical body. I can use it to purify the yin energy from my body within a few days and significantly boost my physical strength!"

The entire cave dwelling was filled with crimson light. A single drop of blood dispersed into a cluster of crimson flames, enveloping Chu Feng's body, refining and burning it.

This was Vermilion Bird divine blood. Such creatures are inherently of ultimate yang, carrying divine flame energy capable of burning the heavens. Thus, this divine blood was truly terrifying.

For the next few days, several drops of Vermilion Bird divine blood fell daily, transforming into a blood mist that enveloped Chu Feng's body, causing him to constantly groan and endure immense pain.

Amidst sizzling sounds, the yin energy in his flesh, bone marrow, and internal organs was continuously burned away, a terrifying yet astonishing sight.

"Am I really a ghost? How can there be so much yin energy?"

As the refinement progressed, even Chu Feng himself began to doubt. Ever since he achieved a Yang Soul, he had felt incompatible with his physical body, which was so cold and eerie.

Now, by nourishing his body with Vermilion Bird divine blood, he was essentially burning his flesh, refining his bone marrow and internal organs, and purging the yin energy.

This wasn't all; he also had drops of divine medicine liquid, which was the most crucial component for enhancing his physical strength. Without it, he wouldn't have been confident of success within a few days.

This divine medicine carried Yang-world energy, infinitely more potent than anything found in the Netherworld Cosmos, with incredibly astonishing medicinal effects.

The divine medicine liquid was the most potent essence of a divine herb.

Moreover, this was Vermilion Bird divine medicine. After being absorbed into Chu Feng's body, it further expelled yin energy and nourished his physique, increasing his physical strength. His entire body became crystalline and radiant, emitting crimson glows and precious light!

Here, Chu Feng circulated the Daoist Breathing Technique and then the Great Thunderous Sound Breathing Technique, achieving twice the results with half the effort when absorbing the divine medicine's essence.

With the grand master-level force fields he personally set up here, he wasn't worried about anyone spying on him.

Four days later, Chu Feng emerged from seclusion!

Runes flickered in his eyes, and his physical body seemed connected to this universe, as if numerous divine chains of order were intertwined with him.

With a whoosh, all the extraordinary phenomena receded. He opened his cave dwelling and walked out.

On this very day, the vortex within the divine temple in the Great Dream Pure Land was also about to close. Many ancient powerhouses from various races had arrived, and personnel from major platforms were also present, scrambling to report the final results.

This day was filled with tumultuous events, attracting worldwide attention. Across the cosmic star sea, all races were focused on which family or faction the ultimate king would belong to.
