Chapter 1440: Begetting Children Should Be Like Chu Mo

"Good heavens, what did I just witness? A mere youth, yet he was unstoppable! With only four or five punches—not even six—he utterly defeated a powerful Heavenly Venerate who had the potential to become a mighty figure. His prowess was undeniable, his dominance absolute, his fists capable of shaking the very cosmos. What a son he would be!" A middle-aged powerhouse was so agitated that his mind trembled, and he exclaimed in continuous awe.

Someone scoffed, "What a son he would be? You'd better pray he doesn't hear you, or you'll surely be beaten to death! You're just a Divine King yourself; how dare you try to provoke him or comment on this great demon in such a way?!"

"I was just speaking figuratively," the middle-aged man said sheepishly.

"I heard that! Hand over some benefits, or I guarantee he'll beat you to death!" shouted Long Dayu, a strange dragon passing by, flapping its wings. It had recently recovered significant power, its confidence soaring, and had started causing trouble again.

It was no surprise that the strange dragon encountered these two, as many people across the world were currently discussing Chu Feng.

Whoosh! Whoosh! In an instant, the two individuals vanished without a trace.

"Don't run!" the strange dragon called out from behind.

They were not the only ones who witnessed the battle firsthand through Xu Qian's live broadcast; countless people everywhere watched this short yet astonishing battle, feeling their blood stir with excitement.

"Emperor Chu is incredibly powerful! How old is he to possess such peak combat strength, slaughtering Heavenly Venerates as if they were chickens? He truly is a generation's... killing fiend!" Some younger evolvers were a mix of admiration and disapproval, their emotions complex.

"In a single day, he single-handedly annihilated Black Capital, then stormed the Martial Emperor's grand-disciple's dojo, slaughtering everyone cleanly. With such power, he truly is a great demon king of this era, capable of overshadowing the heavens!"

Many among his peers felt deeply shocked and were at a loss for how to evaluate him. They were both envious and awestruck, sensing that they would struggle to ever catch up in their lifetime.

"'Emperor Chu'? How dare he compare himself to the Martial Emperor and utter such a title? He's bound to be beaten to death sooner or later!"

Naturally, there were also those who were indignant and unconvinced, all affiliated with opposing factions. They had suffered severe losses this time, and many in the underworld wanted to kill Chu Feng.

"He's excessively arrogant and domineering. This Chu Feng is doomed; if he continues like this, he won't live for three days! I refuse to believe that the Martial Emperor or Nan Tuo will tolerate his existence. Even Li, who once sought to dominate the world and affected the interests of all parties, was eventually killed. He's just a youth from the Lesser Nether, with no background or sect. How dare he be so arrogant? He's going to die soon!"

All factions in the dark world were enraged, and many predicted that Chu Feng's downfall was imminent, stating that if he continued to be so ostentatious, he was destined for a violent death.

At the same time, members of the Human King Clan, the Mo family, were also sneering and whispering among themselves.

"'Human Emperor'? He actually dares to proclaim himself that! Who gave him the audacity, the courage, the spirit to do so? Our families wouldn't even dare to covet that title; it has remained untouched. He's just a being from the netherworld, yet he's so arrogant, practically courting death. That title couldn't even be controlled by our ancestors; what right does he have? If the Human Emperor Clan were to revive and return from beyond the heavens one day, no one would be able to protect him!"

While making these cold remarks, the Mo family members also felt a certain perplexity, feeling that Chu Feng seemed familiar, as if there was once another youth who had equally earned their hatred.

They couldn't help but think of Ji Dade, that despicable killer who deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces. At the Celestial Waterfall, he had once been an enemy of their clan, killing two direct descendants.

Later, Ji Dade even joined forces with a strange dragon, becoming incredibly audacious. He stirred up trouble, daring to hire dark hunters to attack the Human King Clan. This was indeed a very unpleasant memory.

In the Semi-Immortal Race, Ying Xiaoxiao, whose silver hair was as smooth as silk, had a face full of radiant joy. She smiled happily and said, "Brother Chu Feng is truly getting stronger and stronger! He's swept everything before him, crushing the entire Martial Maniac lineage. If he continues like this, he really will be crowned Emperor!"

Beside her, her elder sister Ying Zhexian was enveloped in white mist, her expression unreadable. At this moment, she appeared serene and ethereal, like a moon reflected on water, detached from the mortal world.

Ying Wudi, meanwhile, had his mouth agape, his dark face filled with shock. He simply couldn't believe that the human trafficker who once contended with him at the same cultivation level was now so powerful, capable of destroying an entire city at will, and with a mere lift of his hand... suppressing Heavenly Venerates. It was utterly terrifying.

"No matter how powerful you are, no matter how you proclaim yourself Emperor, you are still... that human trafficker!" Many unpleasant memories surfaced in Ying Wudi's mind. At the same time, he was wiping away sweat, remembering how he had almost been trafficked by that person back then. This led him to repeatedly resist and interfere with that demon's interactions with his elder and younger sisters. If they were to meet again one day, would he be beaten to the point of tears?

"Haha, fantastic! I've long disliked those killers from the underworld. Brother, I will grow stronger and strive to catch up to you. I look forward to the day we meet again!"

The "Big Black Ox" in his youth, Lu Bohu the scholar (the reincarnated Old Donkey), and Dong Dahu who was exploring the Strange Desolate Tiger clan ruins, among others, were either preparing for action or vowing to rise up, all congratulating Chu Feng on this battle.

This battle was thoroughly reported by Taiyi Newspaper. A specialist, an old scholar in the field of evolution, used various materials sent back from the scene by Xu Qian to explain just how strong Chu Feng was, how far he had come, and the underlying reasons.

"Based on our analysis," the report stated, "he may have embarked on the invincible path once trodden by ultimate beings. Among his peers, he has no rivals. Such figures are not unprecedented in ancient times; for example, Li and Nan Tuo were undefeated throughout their lives, invincible in every stage of evolution, sweeping across the world!"

Taiyi Journal spared no praise, using the energy of Chu Feng's exploding fist light and a large amount of data to discuss his atypical evolutionary path. It concluded by speculating that this might be the glorious path for 'netherworld seeds,' destined for a grand rise.

So-called 'netherworld seeds' are evolutionary cultivators brought back from the Lesser Nether. They are expected to become even stronger because they encompass the grand dao rules of both realms, with yin and yang dao marks interweaving and complementing each other.

In fact, back then, some people from the Yang Realm also voluntarily entered the Lesser Nether, not only to search for supreme treasures but also to temper themselves into such 'yang realm seeds,' ultimately achieving complementary dao principles.

Subsequently, an old expert from the Black Blood Research Institute authored an article in this authoritative journal on evolution, where he analyzed the situation. He firmly believed that Chu Feng must have absorbed Emperor Flower Pollen; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess such extraordinary strength at his age or to achieve the Constant King fruit status as a youth.

He then further discussed that if Chu Feng had not accidentally consumed an Emperor Fruit, then he must have absorbed one of the legendary invincible pollens passed down through the ages.

The Undefeated Flower, the Heavenly Emperor Fruit, the Desolate Blood Grass…

These few legendary plants, whispered about through the rise and fall of epochs, were heard by many for the first time, becoming known to the public. This shook everyone's minds, filling them with yearning.

Who wouldn't want to obtain them? If one were to possess them, it could mean embarking on a lifetime of invincibility, with few beings in the world able to contend.

It is said that Li came from the First Mountain and was suspected to have consumed half a Desolate Blood Grass there. This was a crucial foundation for him to embark on his path of sweeping across the world.

The First Mountain, where Number Nine and others resided, was far from ordinary. Too many traces of invincibility were left there, and the fact that a Desolate Blood Grass could grow and survive there did not surprise some fossil-level old scholars.

The world buzzed with discussion; many places in the Yang Realm were filled with chatter. Chu Feng's single-day conquest of Black Capital and subsequent destruction of the Martial Emperor lineage's Heavenly Venerate caused a massive stir.

On this day, Chu Feng's name spread throughout the Yang Realm, with ripples felt even in the most remote and desolate places.

Even Xu Qian, the famous reporter for Taiyi Newspaper, became renowned today, as he managed to obtain firsthand material and live-stream the battle of Demon Chu blowing apart a Heavenly Venerate, causing a huge sensation.

This made his competitors incredibly jealous and envious, leading Heavenly Morning Post, Tonggu News, and others to dispatch a large number of experienced war correspondents, hoping they too could be fortunate enough to capture the next firsthand news.

They speculated that Chu Feng might still have major moves to make.

Moreover, the white-haired great expert had been pursuing him all along and might even manage to corner Chu Feng!

At this very moment, the entire world watched with rapt attention, as the white-haired female great expert continued her pursuit in one direction, never stopping. The energy bursts along her path were simply earth-shattering.

Sometimes, she flew through the firmament, and even when high above the ground, she caused many colossal mountains to explode halfway, emitting dazzling beams of light.

Fortunately, most of the time she traversed through the void, crossing spatial channels with her physical body.

Countless people in the Yang Realm were watching and waiting, wondering if she had truly discovered Chu Feng's tracks and was about to catch him.

However, no one saw Chu Feng along the way; people only saw the white-haired great expert pursuing along an inexplicable trajectory.

The eyes of the entire world gradually converged. People were astonished, wondering if she was truly about to pinpoint Chu Feng. For a time, this pursuit became the focus of global attention.

In the extreme northern reaches of the Yang Realm, where the Martial Emperor was in seclusion.

The disciples and followers of the Martial Maniac lineage could no longer sit still. A clamor arose, with everyone eager to attack and kill that demon to avenge their fellow disciples.

"Let us ask our Grand Ancestor to emerge from seclusion and slay this fiend!"

"As long as our Grand Ancestor appears, even from a hundred million miles away, a flick of his finger would be enough to crush him!"

Many disciples of the Martial Emperor were filled with indignation, their inner anger burning like a raging fire on this day.

"Senior Brother, please go ask for Master's instructions!"

Even one of the Martial Maniac's personal disciples couldn't hold back and suggested this to the Martial Emperor lineage's senior direct disciple.

Finally, the white-haired old man said nothing, and walked into the dark depths of the extreme northern region. Soon after, he retrieved a blood-red bamboo staff.

"'Master... has he emerged from seclusion?'" a personal disciple of the Martial Emperor asked.

The senior direct disciple, his white hair like snow, his eyes as deep as the cosmic starry sky, with no joy or sorrow on his face, said, "What a distinguished status our Master holds! For him to emerge from seclusion and unleash a peerless strike just for a mere insect would truly be beneath him. This is the bamboo staff Master used in his youth. Go give it to our junior sister; activating its runes will be enough to pin that madman to his death."

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of miles away, beyond dozens of states.

Chu Feng emerged from a spatial rift, a look of doubt on his face. It seemed someone had been pursuing him all along, possessing genuine skill to be able to detect even a faint trace he left behind.

He caressed the stone jar, wondering if he should use it to erase all his aura and completely flee.

He felt a bit unwilling. Why did his enemies dare to pursue him like this? Did they really think he was a pushover now?

"A being at the Martial Maniac's level probably won't emerge from seclusion anytime soon," Chu Feng thought. "He likely considers killing me not worth his personal effort, unless I eliminate his disciples."

This was Chu Feng's conjecture. To this end, he had researched the legends and methods of everyone in this lineage, so he didn't feel much pressure yet.

"Chu Feng, a prodigy of his generation, will hunt a formidable foe today! Even if it's a great expert, if they provoke me, I'll nail them to death!"

Chu Feng stopped, no longer fleeing, and decided to make a big move.

He took out some Reincarnation Earth, and then a small, black, somewhat rotten wooden spear, only as long as a chopstick. He aimed it towards the sky, striking a pose as if drawing a bow to shoot down a Sirius.

"I'm a bit unwilling," he muttered to himself. "I wanted to find an opportunity for a 'barbecue' and skewer a few super-big guys. I wonder who I'll be waiting for this time."
