Chapter 1438: Advancing Chu Wudi

"Alright, time to send Heidu back to its original location. We believe in courtesy: if you return what you borrow, it's easy to borrow again."

Chu Feng blocked and then powerfully dispersed the unparalleled strike of the Great Heavenly Venerate Dark Lion, the eruption of the Seven-Death Body Scroll, and the tenth marvelous art that shook both ancient and modern times.

Everything ended, and the world fell silent.

Without witnessing the outcome here, who could have imagined that a single young man would annihilate everyone within an entire powerful city of the dark world?

Heidu was truly devastated, becoming a veritable wasteland.

The Phoenix King's cousin, the white-robed Divine King, was also dead; Chu Feng had not spared him.

Upon careful consideration, using this person as leverage to exchange for Zilan would be akin to dealing with a tiger; it would only prompt the other side to prepare, laying a net to trap him.

Chu Feng believed it would be better to feign ignorance, as that would make it easier to rescue people without alerting his enemies.

He was confident that if he caused a major disturbance, the Great Beings lurking in the Phoenix King's cave, who were there because of him, would be unable to remain still and would emerge to kill him.

"I'm just waiting for you to show yourselves!" Chu Feng murmured.

Now, his goal was to expose the events that transpired here, turning them into a major news story that would shock the entire Yang World.

Chu Feng began to collect his spoils. Having taken down such a significant city in the underground world, there should certainly be some valuable evolutionary resources.

"How poor!"

After a thorough search, Chu Feng was quite dissatisfied; there were too few items that caught his eye. He speculated that the bounties earned by the assassins were likely with the two Great Beings.

Unfortunately, those two Great Beings were in deep secluded cultivation underground, and it was not yet suitable to provoke them.

"To evolve rapidly and reach a higher level, I should take further initiative, take down a powerful sect, and collect enough Great Being-level exotic soil!"

Chu Feng prepared to strike again, both to rescue others and for his own further transformation and evolution.

He hovered in mid-air, his white clothes fluttering, ethereal and transcendent. He gazed down at the ruins below and began to manipulate the domain, performing a surprising act.

"Return what you borrow, and borrowing again won't be hard. Here you go!"

Standing in mid-air, Chu Feng unleashed a powerful throw. In that moment, he seemed like a Buddha flinging a dragon-elephant, an immortal demon severing the sky, his divine power unmatched as he hurled the entire city of Heidu into the void.

He had maximized the use of the divine magnetic stones previously buried underground, which now emitted their final residual heat. He rearranged the domain runes and teleported Heidu back to its original location.

The void boomed as the entire ruins vanished into the collapsed space; even time itself seemed to fall into disarray. Heidu had disappeared from this location!

At Heidu's original site, the two Great Beings stood, their moods utterly foul. Nothing could be more absurd and infuriating than what they had experienced that day.

Right under their noses, Heidu had vanished into thin air, brazenly... stolen!

"This is utterly outrageous!"

For them, it was profoundly humiliating and infuriating, the greatest disgrace of their lives!

"Who, who exactly are you, daring to do such a thing? Come out!" one roared, his hair flying wildly as he shot upwards into the sky.

"Come out!" the other Great Being also roared.

As if truly responding to them, Heidu reappeared with their roars, directly hovering above them and then crashing down forcefully, leaving them utterly stunned.

Smoke and dust billowed, runes gleamed, and Heidu buried the two Great Beings beneath it.

They were beyond furious!

Around them, the void exploded. As Great Beings, the rubble and broken walls naturally could not harm their bodies.

However, this action appeared so targeted; that person had actually... responded to them.

Their rage flared, their lungs trembled, and their faces were terrifyingly grim. This was utterly despicable and hateful, the gravest provocation imaginable!

Heidu had been returned, and this was a blatant slap in their faces!

Their energy was astonishing; they instantly tore open the domain sealing Heidu, and their aura spread out in a flash. The Heavenly Venerates' blood mist exploded and scattered, and in an instant, malevolent energy swept across tens of thousands of miles!

All were dead; not a single one of the six Heavenly Venerates survived, and the elite Divine King-level assassins of the younger generation were also annihilated, leaving no trace of their remains.

"Ah..."

The two Great Beings roared, shattering the entire land, and countless large cracks appeared in the sky.

They felt utterly humiliated; the day's events made their very soul-lights tremble. They were so enraged they were close to madness, wishing they could immediately execute the provocateur.

Adding to their fury, in the void within Heidu's ruins, a line of runes had coalesced to form words: "Return what you borrow, and borrowing again won't be hard!"

"Ah, kill!"

Even from the distant end of the land, Chu Feng felt the killing intent behind him; those two powerful beings were probably going insane.

He turned and departed, continuing his journey to the next location.

He felt the situation wasn't chaotic enough yet; he needed to add more fuel to the fire, perhaps even several fires.

Undoubtedly, the Heidu incident could not be concealed. With Heavenly Venerates dead, the commotion was simply too immense. As blood energy and malevolent energy spread, anomalous phenomena caused tremors, and booming sounds rose and fell like a tsunami.

That day, everyone in Dark Province sensed it, and many powerful beings emerged to investigate.

Especially when the two Great Being-level entities roared, patterns appeared on the mountains and land, alarming many reclusive ancient figures and creating immense, boundless turmoil.

"Holy cow, do you know? A colossal event has occurred! Heidu, one of the underground world's external outposts, has been completely annihilated!"

"Hiss!" That day, gasps of astonishment reverberated endlessly, all from powerful individuals.

Who dared to be so domineering and audacious? They had actually annihilated an entire city belonging to the underground world, a complete bloodbath in Heidu!

"This is monumental news! Great Beings have used heaven-defying methods to recreate the battle scene, revealing that only one person attacked, yet he... killed six Great Heavenly Venerates! It's as if he single-handedly covered the sky, looking down on all the major organizations of the underground world, even more ruthless than them, slaughtering hundreds of dark hunters!"

"Who did it? Who was responsible?" People were utterly stunned; all eyes turned to the incident, and everyone found it hard to believe.

"It was Chu Feng! He annihilated Heidu all by himself!"

When this news broke, regions everywhere were profoundly shaken, then erupted into an uproar.

"Is he insane? How dare he act like this, making an enemy of the entire underground world?"

"I heard that the underground organizations had already targeted him and were preparing to hunt him down. This is Chu Feng striking first, taking the initiative! Indeed, heroes emerge from the young, full of vigor and courage, unyielding; he actually swept Heidu clean like that!"

Many people sighed; Heidu had existed for untold tens of thousands of years, yet it was annihilated by a single young man in one day.

"This is a major event unseen in years! Just a young man, yet so utterly audacious and confident! He is indeed worthy of being called a 'Constant King,' a figure rarely seen across multiple eras!"

The world was abuzz with discussion, and commotion erupted everywhere.

"My brother-in-law—no, my Brother Chu Feng is too formidable! He stood alone with a saber, annihilating all the underground world's assassins, truly an invincible presence!" Within the Aether race, Ying Xiaoxiao, with her waist-length silver hair and bright, watery eyes, was simultaneously incredibly shocked and filled with excitement and joy.

However, she then grew worried, fearing Chu Feng might encounter an accident, as the situation was simply too audacious.

"Wow, this guy is too uncanny! But why do I feel like I've seen him before? No matter how I look at it, he resembles that scoundrel Ji Dade?" At this moment, Long Dayu, who was already questioning his own existence as a dragon, was also dumbfounded, staring at the report and feeling a sense of unreality.

"Fortunately, he's not Ji Dade, or I'd probably be taking the blame again!" said the strange dragon, Long Dayu, feeling that he would go insane if that happened.

Yet, for some reason, he still felt a slight unease, an inexplicable ominous premonition.

The underground world was utterly enraged; that day, killing intent pierced the very sky!

The major dark organizations were enraged to the extreme; some individuals involved were practically going mad, so furious they felt like exploding.

"Can you all imagine? Chu Feng, who just flattened Taiwu's dojo, an evolutionist from the Lesser Netherworld, has once again launched an unexpected attack! He descended upon Heidu, wiping out everyone in an entire city. This is truly astonishing; he is indeed a fearless youth, absolutely unrivaled!"

Many newspapers followed up, with reporters tracking the story and searching for Chu Feng's whereabouts. The reporter seemed very excited.

Especially when broadcasting live to areas covered by the Yang World network, his excitement was clearly written all over his face, making viewers feel his enthusiasm.

The underground world was highly displeased. "What kind of attitude is this? Are you praising Chu Feng's actions?"

However, no one went to hunt him down, because this was Xu Qian, a senior war correspondent for Taiyi Newspaper, who was often active on the front lines and very famous.

Of course, his protective charm was the formidable backing of Taiyi Newspaper. Its founder, Taiyi, had lived for an astonishingly long time and possessed immense influence. It was said that even the progenitor of the Taiheng organization, an assassin group, was rumored to be Taiyi's second son.

"I believe Chu Feng, this formidable young man, won't stop here. I have a profound and mysterious premonition that he might reappear. I'm going to stake out a location now; I think I might make a significant discovery!"

Xu Qian, the senior reporter for Taiyi Newspaper, was not weak in strength; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pursue this profession. Now, he was very excited because the place he intended to go was very close to his current location.

He then acted decisively, rushing over with his equipment.

Not long after, Xu Qian saw and felt it: tremendous energy fluctuations emanated, mountains were collapsing, the ground was sinking, and cracks spread throughout the void!

"Everyone, I really guessed correctly! Do you know where this is?!" Xu Qian was thrilled. He had arrived just in time, right at the scene, and found Chu Feng.

In fact, he inwardly exclaimed his luck; he just happened to be not far from here, coming on a whim, hoping for a chance discovery, and his speculation had actually come true!

"This is Martial Sister Taiwu's dojo, a dark hall of the Martial Maniac lineage—er, no, the Martial Emperor lineage! Chu Feng is here!"

Xu Qian reported, broadcasting live from the scene.

He was a little scared; when he mentioned "Martial Maniac," he quickly corrected himself to "Martial Emperor." Inwardly, he was also exclaiming how insane Chu Feng was—who was the real martial maniac here? Not long after killing Taiwu, he was now provoking this lineage again!

Chu Feng had indeed arrived; passivity was not his style. Since he intended to cause a major disturbance, he should take the initiative. He chose an external dark stronghold of the Martial Maniac lineage—a Heavenly Venerate's dojo!

The Martial Maniac was one of the sources of darkness, and not just in name; among his disciples and followers, a group specialized in dark hunting!

Since this lineage was looking for him and intended to hunt him down, Chu Feng saw no reason to be polite. After annihilating Heidu, he arrived at this publicly accessible stronghold.

With a single punch, he shattered the mountain gate, and the entire undulating range of black mountains exploded.

He knew time was short; he could only unleash six punches here before he had to leave to avoid further complications, but he figured that would be enough!

Of course, while he was acting, he also needed to precisely extract the treasure-grade exotic soil from this place to pave his own path of evolution!
