Chapter 923: The Terrifying End of Evolution

On the edge of the netherworld universe, the few people on the ship had stopped drinking tea, their expressions solemn. After receiving feedback, they were convinced that there was a huge and terrifying problem within the Great Abyss.

"According to radiation calculations, its life cycle was in its final stages of decay, on the verge of complete death. It was yet another terrifying entity that had fallen on the path to becoming an ultimate evolution body."

Such a statement would be shocking anywhere, as it concerned a level completely beyond the reach of ordinary people, mentioning ancient and unimaginably terrifying existences.

In fact, although these individuals were true disciples with significant status within their respective orthodoxies, they were still far from reaching this level of understanding.

Similar to Yuan Chen, Qi Xia, and others, these individuals had been personally instructed by venerable figures in their sects before entering the netherworld, imbuing them with various terrifying secrets and experiences, all to enable them to uncover the oddities of the netherworld universe.

This was because, in the past, even Celestials who personally visited had mysteriously vanished!

"It's hard to imagine that such an ancient being could exist in this incomplete minor universe, daring to embark on the path of an ultimate evolution body. What a pity that it ultimately fell. We just don't know what it finally became."

In the positive world, there was a theory that when the paths of predecessors were insufficient as proof, and one advanced towards becoming an ultimate evolution body on their own, no one knew what would happen.

Of course, according to records publicized in the positive world in the year 5,302,978 of the Celestial Emperor's calendar, Grand-Universe-level evolution bodies should still have a path forward, but few could access those paths.

"Celestial-level energy must absolutely not dissipate in this netherworld void, otherwise, it will be forcibly absorbed by the entity in the Great Abyss! Even in its final stages of decay, whatever it has transformed into is still terrifying; the more powerful the being that faces it, the faster they die."

The few people on the ship discussed cautiously, all with solemn expressions, daring not to act rashly.

Throughout the universe, excitement had erupted.

People had learned through live broadcasts that four Celestial Decrees had flown away, uncontrolled, drawn by a mysterious force.

During the last time the Black Blood Platform and Primal Beast Platform captured images of Chu Feng's fierce battle with the saints of various races, they had set up some "Heavenly Eyes" near the Great Abyss, which had not yet been removed.

Therefore, the two platforms immediately discovered that the four decrees were burning as they fell into the Great Abyss, simply swallowed.

For a time, everyone was shocked that the netherworld still possessed such terrifying power, capable of directly withstanding Celestial-level energy?!

However, in terms of clamor and attention, outer space near Earth was even more prominent at this moment. Although the evolution level of the participants was not as high as that of Celestials, it captivated people's minds even more.

Those who hated felt intense hatred, while those who worried felt deep concern about what was happening there.

Countless evolutionaries from across the universe turned their gaze here, making it truly a global spectacle.

Yuan Chen, Qi Xia, and the others felt their hair stand on end. What was going on? They couldn't comprehend that Celestial Decrees would just fly away; it utterly bewildered them.

In their minds, Celestials were like the heavens, lofty and supreme, an insurmountable divine power. Yet, the decrees of four Celestials combined were all taken away. It was too sudden and too terrifying.

They were horrified that, at this moment, if even one of Earth's three Illumination-level powerhouses returned, it would be enough to kill all of them; not a single one would escape.

Their hair stood on end, a chill running from head to toe.

They were about to be utterly defeated in the netherworld universe. The "graveyard" in their eyes was actually so terrifying?

A cold dread ran down their spines, but they soon realized it wasn't just due to their inner unease, but because real danger was approaching.

It was the gray mist, transforming into one beast and vile bird after another: some ancient fierce tigers, some prehistoric nine-headed birds, some dark predators...

Boom!

They all summoned their weapons, including the group of followers they had subdued, who also took action, but it was useless; all were instantly entangled!

Some were more cunning, fleeing immediately, wanting to escape the area, having sensed that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, the beings formed from the gray mist were even faster, surpassing lightning itself, whizzing to catch up to everyone, roaring like beasts as they pounced.

“Quickly, get into Earth!” Chu Feng whispered, telling the old patriarch of Feiyu Star, Qian Jia, and others to leave quickly and not remain there.

The situation here was already out of control. Even if Chu Feng held the Primordial Gourd, he couldn't guarantee it would block the terrifying monstrous forms created by the dense gray mist.

“Alright, let’s go!”

These individuals were all seasoned and shrewd, knowing they couldn't help. They didn't hesitate with Chu Feng and together swooped down towards Earth.

“What is this?!”

Some Saint-level evolutionaries screamed in terror, their hearts filled with dread. After being entangled, their flesh immediately shriveled, and they began to emit a putrid smell instantaneously, weakening rapidly in the shortest amount of time.

Yuan Chen, a junior disciple of the Celestial Taiwu, his handsome face no longer indifferent, was now filled with terror. He felt himself turning into a rotting corpse, the stench unbearable.

“Ah, no!” Qi Xia, the junior female disciple of Celestial Luan Yu, screamed in panic. Her smooth, jade-like face began to wither, her skin shriveling, and the stench of decay filled the air, making her scream incessantly.

“It’s… strange matter, the ominous gray mist from the plane where the Six Paths Evil Lord resides! How can it be here?!” The people from the positive world cried out in fear.

Chu Feng's heart stirred. The ancestral founder of the Foreign Land once mastered the Six Paths Time Technique, which allowed him to avoid being entangled by strange matter in his later years. This person must be the Six Paths Evil Lord mentioned by the people of the positive world.

However, the Six Paths Evil Lord had been killed by a great power from the positive world long ago.

“Ah…”

A group of Saint-level evolutionaries also screamed in unbearable pain. Regardless of whether they were ancient saints or those who had become saints in recent times, they all looked the same: their faces withered, with a strong stench of decay.

Some flew towards Chu Feng, their faces contorted with malice, wanting to drag him along with them to their deaths.

Among them, several saints from the Xilin race, the ancient saint of the Corpse race, and the powerhouses of the Celestial God race were the most unwilling, their faces full of resentment towards Chu Feng, and they quickly charged.

They thought they were fast, but compared to their usual speed, they were far too slow. More than ninety percent of their essence, energy, and spirit had already been absorbed by the beastly forms entangled with them.

Chu Feng remained unmoved, standing still, holding the green gourd in one hand and the purple-gold bamboo in the other. He didn't use the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, fearing it would be contaminated.

In his opinion, having the green gourd and purple-gold bamboo in hand was enough!

The large staff formed from the purple-gold bamboo was swung by Chu Feng, shattering the first charging saint of the Xilin race into four pieces with a puff, black, foul blood splattering everywhere.

“Ah… Fellow Daoists, he's the one who harmed us! Let's attack together, slaughter him! Even if we die, we'll drag him with us, otherwise, will you and I be content to die alone?”

Another saint from the Xilin race shouted, calling on the other saints to act together, to come and kill Chu Feng.

“You certainly won't be content,” Chu Feng said chillingly, “because I will annihilate your entire Xilin race, slaughtering every last one, leaving none behind!”

The purple-gold bamboo struck down. Although this saint was resisting, his current strength was less than a tenth of what it was, so weakened that his cultivation realm had fallen. He was no match. His skull was instantly smashed, and he died a tragic death.

“You…”

The remaining saints of the Xilin race were shocked and enraged. To be exterminated? Their hearts were filled with terror!

They had originally believed that having returned after surviving the calamity of the chaotic universe, even if they lost their freedom and became someone else's slaves, they had at least survived and could protect their race. How could they have foreseen that everything would turn to naught in an instant!

Even the people from the positive world were defeated and couldn't do anything to this demon?

“You all say I'm a demon,” Chu Feng's words were ice-cold, “then I'll truly become a demon for you to see. I will personally visit your races. The Celestial God race, Xilin, Corpse race, and others will no longer need to exist!”

Upon hearing this, the saints of the Celestial God race and Corpse race also turned pale. Their already withered and utterly decayed forms now looked even worse.

“Kill! Destroy Earth first!”

The group turned, trying to avoid Chu Feng, and swooped towards Earth.

Strike!

Chu Feng gave a soft cry and gently tapped the green gourd. Its cracks glowed all over, condensing terrifying lightning power, which then gathered at the gourd's mouth and, with a puff, shot out a barrage of fearsome light beams.

Puff, puff, puff…

The saints of the Celestial God race, Corpse race, and Xilin race exploded one after another, leaving no blood, all blasted into powder by the light beams, leaving behind only large patches of gray matter.

Back then, in the Foreign Land, the old yellow-furred fox had helped him refine it, nurturing incomplete primordial thunder laws within this immature gourd.

As expected, some of the beastly forms created from the strange matter sneered hideously and began to pounce on Chu Feng.

“Absorb!”

Chu Feng commanded. The Primordial Gourd, having grown in the Sea of Chaos and nourished by chaotic lightning, was incredibly powerful, forcibly absorbing the strange matter.

The surrounding saints were dumbfounded, as if falling into an ice cellar. Then some wailed in agony, unable to endure the erosion of the strange matter.

Ahead, the people of Yingzhou trembled, filled with utmost fear. They had betrayed again, only to find that Chu Feng, the great demon, was practically omnipotent, even overturning people from the positive world, almost scaring them to death.

In fact, even before Chu Feng made a move, these people couldn't hold on and, in the most agonizing torment, were turned into rotting corpses by the gray matter, their soul-light completely dissolved, never to be reincarnated.

“Ah… Chu Feng, you can't do this! I am from the Sub-Immortal race, please save me!”

“Nephew Chu Feng, I am from the Pegasus Star Domain. I have no grievances with you from afar or recent enmity.”

Some Saint-level evolutionaries screamed; however, Chu Feng's heart was as cold as iron, unmoved, and he paid them no attention at all.

Since this group had followed the people from the positive world to Earth to deal with him, they should have been prepared for the consequences.

“Kill!”

In a final act of madness, some saints, on the verge of death, charged towards Earth, hoping to create trouble for Chu Feng and force their way into the planet below.

It was futile. They were all withered beyond recognition, their strength drastically reduced. Chu Feng instantly caught up, and with a sweep of the purple-gold bamboo, struck them down one by one.

At the same time, the green gourd in his hand unleashed its power again, shooting out light beams accompanied by strange matter, sweeping away some saints and turning them into dust.

Countless people across the universe witnessed this scene and were dumbfounded in shock!

In this seemingly doomed situation, Chu Feng had once again unexpectedly survived and was still killing his opponents!

On Earth, the people of Penglai and Fangzhang Island secretly wiped cold sweat from their brows, all feeling fortunate that their resolve had been strong enough not to jump out. This move was absolutely correct.

The entire population of Yingzhou Island now looked ashen.

In the depths of the universe, the three ancient saints of the Sub-Immortal race also felt their hair stand on end!

In outer space near Earth, Yuan Chen had torn his own skin; the pain was truly unbearable and agonizing. Black blood flowed from his body, emitting a foul stench.

“Chu Feng, you will be struck down by heaven! Heaven and earth will not tolerate you! How dare you use such matter? All Celestials will unite to kill you!”

He roared, his fear boundless. Now, unless he immediately returned to the positive world and asked a Celestial to quickly intervene and rescue him, there was no way out.

“Ah…”

He wailed, rolling in the void.

Chu Feng walked over. Some nearby saints were rapidly dying, turning into rotting corpses, but he remained unmoved, only heading towards these people from the positive world.

Chu Feng personally took action, swinging the purple-gold bamboo, destroying the lower half of Yuan Chen's body, as black blood and black mist dissipated.

Yuan Chen howled in agony, reaching out, wanting to kill Chu Feng, but he was weak and powerless. At this point, with his form and spirit about to perish, what strength could he possibly have left?

“People from the positive world are nothing special after all,” Chu Feng said lightly, and gave him another strike, making everything below his chest disappear. Then he ignored him, leaving him to slowly perish in torment.

“Give me a quick death!” Yuan Chen roared from behind, but Chu Feng no longer paid him any attention.

Chu Feng approached Qi Xia, and with a light touch of the purple-gold bamboo, her right knee disappeared, turning into a cloud of black blood mist and gray matter.

“You're too hideous,” Chu Feng said, looking down, and then turned to leave.

“Ah, who said I'm hideous? I am Immortal Maiden Qi Xia! No, my feet, my legs, my face…” Qi Xia shrieked and cried in agony. Her body looked as if it had aged several millennia.

The people from the positive world struggled in this place, their cries incredibly mournful. They had never imagined such a moment would come. They had previously looked down upon this "graveyard," disregarding it, believing its beings were incomparable to those of the positive world. Yet, they were being killed here!

The scene was one of utter horror, a group of people dying in a horrific state, one after another, utterly unable to resist. Their deaths were grotesque, their soul-light dissolved, and their bodies rotting.

Chu Feng looked up, not wanting to see them. Holding the green gourd, he began to collect the deceased and the gray mist. At the same time, his eyes looked towards Earth's Yingzhou Island, and then towards the depths of the universe.

On the edge of the netherworld universe, a large vermilion ship floated.

On the tea table, fragrance permeated the air, with five-colored misty vapor rising. This was a divine tea, produced on several jade mountains near the Primordial Celestial's cultivation retreat, considered the rarest specialty, a true divine tea.

However, the few people on the ship had no desire to drink tea, their minds restless.

“Let's test divine-level energy and see if it's also affected,” one person suggested, and took out a decree. It was personally written by a divine-level powerhouse from the positive world, and at this moment, it reflected dazzling, intricate patterns, making the void tremble.

Finally, this decree was unleashed, and with a *boom*, it was also sucked away, disappearing into the Great Abyss!

The few people frowned. No wonder the incomplete netherworld universe had no divine-level evolutionaries; the reason was here: even energy of this level would be devoured!

They were certain that entity had entered its very last stage of decay. Yet, even in its half-dead state, it was still so terrifying. What exactly had it transformed into? The end of the evolutionary path was too terrifying!
