Chapter 927: You’re Here

With these words, the pretense was dropped. What "invitation"? It was clearly a threat, a warning, a solemn demand for Chu Feng to come quickly.

A deathly silence fell across the starry sky. Evolvers of all races were terrified. The people from the Yang Realm were so formidable; they could even pinpoint Chu Feng's star domain. Who wouldn't be afraid?

Anyone daring to speak carelessly would surely be singled out and meet a grim fate.

"How uncooperative. I invited you, and you still haven't come?" the man in green said indifferently. He set down his teacup and added, "If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit. Miss this chance, and in the end, you might have to crawl over here yourself!"

The young man in green watched from the side, a hint of coldness in his eyes and an arrogant posture. "You truly refuse a good offer!" he remarked.

Across the cosmos, the peace was shattered, and many began discussing the situation animatedly.

At the same time, people noticed that many evolvers remained silent, fearing to attract trouble.

"Green-robed lackey!" This was Chu Feng's retort.

Meanwhile, he frowned. The opponent had actually pinpointed his star domain. Were their methods truly so heaven-defying, so uncanny?

Refusing to believe it, he pondered secretly. He no longer contacted the Sky-Piercing Wormhole Company; instead, he flew directly to a planet, using its teleportation field to leave this star sea.

At this moment, at the edge of the Underworld Cosmos, a group of people were smiling. With Divine Master Huang present, they weren't afraid of any enemy escaping; they could be found anywhere, whether in the sky or on the ground.

The group drank tea, all appearing calm and composed.

At this point, they felt it was necessary to subdue the various orthodoxies of this cosmos and mobilize them to help the Yang Realm search for the two legendary artifacts.

"Caw!" The old crow standing on the ship's rail spoke, addressing the entire Underworld Cosmos. "Hmm, I, too, am extending an invitation here. Evolvers of the Illuminator level and above from this cosmos can come here for tea. One by one, is there anyone who dares to come? Hehe..."

The black, ominous fiend-bird's voice was aged, yet simultaneously harsh and unpleasant. It echoed across the black blood platform, striking fear into people's hearts.

Some people's expressions changed. This old crow was issuing a challenge, facing the strongest individuals in the Underworld Cosmos by itself. It was truly arrogant!

The old crow, with a faint smile, added, "Come on, have a cup of tea. Hmm, does no one dare to come? Of course, you can also interpret this as me summoning all Illuminator-level cultivators to crawl here!"

By the end, the old crow's words were too blatant. This was a challenge to the entire star sea, a blatant disregard for the Underworld Cosmos, not even considering the Illuminator-level evolvers of this realm.

Many people of various races were enraged, but in the end, they could only sigh. The Heaven-Illuminator level evolvers had all vanished and hadn't returned safely.

The old celestial dog spoke, saying, "Hmm, evolvers from the Underworld Cosmos need to be one major realm higher to be qualified to fight cultivators from the Yang Realm."

Its tone was flat, but it was also a direct contempt for all evolvers in the Underworld Cosmos.

This was practically setting up a challenge arena. The few of them stood unmoving, waiting at the edge of the Underworld Cosmos, which was tantamount to proclaiming a challenge to all who dared to defy them.

"We sit here drinking tea, welcoming all courageous evolvers to come and verify, to sit and discuss the Dao, hehe..." The old celestial dog's laugh carried both arrogance and haughtiness.

Clang, clang, clang!

As it spoke, the old celestial dog raised a paw, sending out one shattered weapon after another. Some were broken spears, some were half-shattered swords, some were fragments of ancient cauldrons, and some were pieces of large bells. All were blood-stained, falling around the great ship, bobbing up and down, exuding an oppressive aura.

The cosmos was greatly shaken!

Because some recognized these as weapons belonging to Heaven-Illuminator level powerhouses from this cosmos. All were broken, and the fate of their owners could well be imagined.

After the old celestial dog threw out these weapons, it said nothing more, but it was tantamount to slapping the faces of all evolvers from various races and intimidating the entire starry sky!

This was blatant contempt!

"I have some here too," the old crow said, opening its mouth to spit out some broken weapons, all stained with blood and belonging to the Illuminator level.

It added, "I am waiting here for that young man named Chu Feng to show up. I am also waiting for the strongest among you. Does anyone dare to come?"

At this moment, many people's emotions surged intensely. The people from the Yang Realm were too overbearing. This was a provocation; after suppressing the entire Underworld, they were still displaying such contempt.

The hearts of many great clans' evolvers were bleeding. They recognized their clan's foundational weapons, meaning their ancient ancestors must have died, and their relics were being displayed like this.

"Damn it, a dog and a crow have suppressed our entire Underworld Cosmos. This is too humiliating!" someone roared. "If I were Illuminator level, I'd go kill them!"

Someone roared, echoing the sentiment of many.

However, no experts of that caliber had emerged in this world.

For a time, evolvers across the starry sky felt a sense of defeat and deep frustration. Was the Yang Realm truly that powerful, unbeatable? Could a few individuals just come over and flaunt their might?

"Hehe..." The old celestial dog's laughter rang out, truly grating to the ears.

Many were filled with indignation, their hearts burning with rage. The vast Underworld was being treated with such contempt, with no one capable of fighting back?!

"Alas!"

A sigh echoed from an ordinary life-bearing planet in a very remote part of the starry sky.

This was an ordinary village. An old man was sharpening a wood-chopping knife at the village entrance. He looked at a lame old horse grinding grain and asked, "Old fellow, can you still run?"

The lame old horse spoke human words, not answering but instead asking, in a very aged voice, "You retired from your armor in ancient times. If you go out now, can you still wield a knife?"

"I suppose I can still chop off a few beast heads, though I probably won't have a good end myself," the old man replied, continuing to sharpen his rusty wood-chopping knife.

At this moment, at the edge of the Underworld Cosmos, Divine Master Huang was very calm. He took out several beast-skin scrolls and was studying them. He muttered to himself, "These are old bounties and wanted lists from the Yang Realm. Since I've come to the Underworld Cosmos, let me examine them closely; perhaps I'll find something."

Beside him, several young people, upon seeing the records on the beast-skin scrolls, were all awestruck. Some were wanted lists issued by immortal imperial dynasties, while others were related to Heavenly Venerates.

"Back then, King Bi'an escaped into the Underworld. Although he was killed, it's suspected that descendants were left behind. Hmm, it's worth investigating. I'll perform a divination shortly. If there truly are descendants, they won't escape my divination techniques," the old weasel muttered to himself, a smile appearing on his face. This sky-high bounty was worth pursuing.

The old weasel then continued to flip through the ancient beast-skin scrolls, showing surprise. "Eh, there's a record here that's not a bounty, just a rumor: The one in the Yang Realm who meditates at Falling Emperor Slope once implanted 'mother gold' into several geniuses, and some test subjects entered the Underworld..."

He gasped, sucking in a cold breath. This involved the work of a very significant figure.

He decisively skipped this section and did not delve deeper into it.

Then, Divine Master Huang began to divine everything about King Bi'an from back then. He knew what to touch and what not to touch.

"Hmm, interesting. King Bi'an did die, but his bloodline remains and is still in this cosmos. Let me see where it is."

The old weasel performed a series of divinations, a joyful expression appearing on his face. "I know which star sea it's in!" he exclaimed.

He turned to look at the old celestial dog and the black crow, requesting their assistance in claiming this bounty.

"Don't worry, although not many people came from the Yang Realm, it's not just these few," the old celestial dog reassured him. "There are still quite a few Illuminator-level experts!"

The old celestial dog was very friendly towards him, adopting a humble posture and always obliging. With a wave of its large paw, four massive ships slowly emerged from the chaos. On each ship, only three figures were seated in meditation, no more.

However, they were all Illuminator-level!

Among these people, some had bronze-colored skin on their bare upper bodies, seated with bright long blades resting across their laps. Some were breathing, with chaotic energy flowing in and out of their mouths and noses. Others were resting with their eyes closed.

Four ships, with three seated on each, all Illuminator-level evolvers from the Yang Realm!

"Excellent, proceed immediately to..." Divine Master Huang spoke, giving them the coordinates.

However, at this very moment, with a *whoosh*, a shimmering blue vine flew forth, piercing through space and stabbing towards the old weasel's glabella.

It was too sudden; even the old celestial dog and the black crow, these two great masters, had no prior warning.

Divine Master Huang was even more shocked. He could predict good or bad fortune, yet someone had managed to approach him and launch a ruthless killing strike.

He dodged with all his might, and talisman papers on his body burned, helping him escape the death tribulation. With a *splutter*, the shimmering blue vine pierced through the substitute talisman paper, but still pierced the old weasel's shoulder, causing its right forelimb to rapidly crack, then explode, scattering blood.

This nearly tore his entire body apart!

"Ah..."

The old weasel simply couldn't believe it. He had been severely injured and nearly met his end, yet he hadn't predicted it beforehand. What went wrong?

The old celestial dog and the black crow reacted, both roaring furiously. Their blood energy surged to the sky as they lunged forward to attack. They made their move.

They were both enraged and terrified. They were responsible for protecting Divine Master Huang, yet they had almost watched him get assassinated. If this Divine Master died, they would all be buried with him.

In this area, blue petals filled the sky. One after another, Nirvana Flowers appeared, scattering a rain of flowers, dazzling and dreamlike.

"It's you!" The old weasel immediately knew who had arrived. He had just been divining about this very entity, and now it had arrived so quickly!

"That's right, I'm here!"

The Nirvana Flower evaded the old celestial dog and the black crow. Its blue avatars were everywhere, disrupting everyone present, and blue light illuminated the heavens.

Its true body *boomed* as it coiled around one of the large ships. On this ship were three Heaven-Illuminator level powerhouses who had just emerged from the chaos.

However, the blue Nirvana Flower remained fearless. Its roots and leaves glowed, and chains of order spread, trapping the entire ship.

"Roar!"

The three Illuminator-level masters trapped on the ship roared with fury. However, with *poofing* sounds, their protective light was pierced, and divine chains ran through their bodies.

"You killed my father, and I haven't avenged that yet," the Nirvana Flower roared. "Now you come to kill me again? Do you really think I can be bullied?!"

The head of an Illuminator-level expert rolled off, severed by its roots, and their divine soul was also annihilated. All of this was completed in a flash of lightning; the Nirvana Flower had attacked abruptly and was completely enraged.

Another Illuminator-level evolver was enveloped; their body rapidly shriveled, pierced by numerous roots and chains of order, and was crushed in the blink of an eye!

Meanwhile, on a life-bearing planet in a remote part of the cosmos, the old man who had sharpened his wood-chopping knife donned tattered armor, mounted the lame old horse, and began his journey.

"Though I am old, I can still wield a wood-chopping knife," he muttered. "Someone has to step forward, don't they? Kill!"
