An ancient path stretched out before him, leading into the distance, but it was clear that at its distant end, the path was broken!
This was quite eerie; during Chu Feng's evolution process, a path had actually appeared, spanning across heaven and earth, very blurry and profound.
It seemed to have existed for billions of years, once submerged in dust and forgotten by history, but now a small section of its hazy, broken outline was visible.
How could Chu Feng be satisfied with his current cultivation? He wanted to become even stronger!
Although his two dao fruits had now ascended together, his body glowed as brilliantly as the sun, and the resonant dao fruits illuminated his flesh and blood.
But this was not the end. Next, he still needed to break through to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm.
"You?!"
Old Gu was moved, his pupils contracting. "You... you're not a Great Heavenly Venerate yet?!" he exclaimed.
This terrified him. How could this be?
Because he had clearly felt a powerful aura just now, which had forced him to recoil. Chu Feng surely couldn't be weaker than a Great Heavenly Venerate.
The void trembled, and heaven and earth instantly plunged into darkness. Nothing could be seen in the distance.
At this moment, inside the mountain belly, it was as if they were in the depths of the universe, vast and distant, with absolute darkness forming the backdrop.
That path became even more real!
Old Gu gasped; today, he truly felt as if he had never seen the world, repeatedly shaken and unable to believe his own eyes.
The area around the path was very dim, like night, making it easy to get lost. Further away was boundless darkness, where no scenery could be seen.
Only near the path did light particles flutter down, guiding one forward. Unfortunately, the path was broken; ahead lay a black chasm, as if sliced open by a sharp blade.
This was both sinister and terrifying!
An evolution path, which was merely a path in people's minds, how could it appear like this and even show a severed appearance?!
The black break marked the end of the path, separated by a boundless, pitch-black abyss.
It was unknown what lay on the other side. Thick fog permeated the air, howling, as if something terrifying was wailing on the opposite bank.
Old Gu stood far off, watching silently, a chill running down his spine. Was this the end of the pollen evolution path they were meant to take?
If they ever truly reached its end, who knew what would happen!
This was the first time he had witnessed such an anomaly. In his many past evolutions, no such special "true path" had ever appeared beside him.
Chu Feng was also deeply moved. This was another instance of resonance between heaven and man, following the glimpse of truth he had seen within the stone jar. Or, more accurately, was it a mutual sensing between man and the true path?
His entire body erupted with dazzling light, as he manifested his own techniques and walked his own path. He aimed for another breakthrough, to become a Great Heavenly Venerate.
However, this time, the amount of pollen was significantly reduced, and even the tree itself appeared somewhat dim.
"This is bad!" Chu Feng's heart trembled. His greatest fear had come true. Was the powerful-grade strange earth not sufficient?
Old Gu's eyes also widened in dismay. He could naturally see that the leaves on the tree were no longer as brilliant, and all kinds of essence and energy were concentrating towards the flowers.
The six-zhang-tall tree had more cracks in its old bark, and the chaotic mist around it had thinned considerably.
"What the hell!" Old Gu stared blankly. Whether it was a Heavenly Venerate or a Great Heavenly Venerate, both were within the same major realm, yet it had consumed several portions of powerful-grade earth.
And this still wasn't enough?!
In the ethereal realm, a black long blade slowly approached, so clear, cold, and intimidating that it seemed to cleave the Great Dao!
It pointed directly at Chu Feng's glabella, silently slashing down towards him!
"Huh?!"
Chu Feng was surprised. "What is this?"
Outside his body, a curtain of light spontaneously rose, like a thick divine wall, blocking the blade.
However, the blade was icy cold, dark, and terrifying, like a reincarnation blade from hell, severing everything. His protective light curtain could not withstand it and was easily sliced open.
"This path is truly unpredictable and bizarre; nothing surprising happens on it, yet there's an attack from a tangible blade like this!"
Chu Feng slowly raised his fist, employing the Ultimate Fist, and inscribed it with the golden runes that the stone jar had once manifested. He dared not be careless in the slightest; even a minor oversight during evolution could lead to a miserable death, so he had to go all out.
"Clang!"
His fist, emitting dazzling beams of light, struck the black blade, producing a real metallic clang that echoed piercingly.
In an instant, the black blade recoiled, then disintegrated automatically into dozens of pieces, which transformed into dark light beams and surged into Chu Feng's body from all directions at an incredible speed.
"I knew it," the gray creature muttered excitedly. "How could the aura left by an ancestor-level being be so easily dealt with? The true killing move is here, cursing him!"
Chu Feng groaned. Dozens of light beams surged chaotically within his body. He was met with an inexplicable resistance, and even the flickering, broken path before him seemed on the verge of disappearing.
"Blocking my path, severing my evolutionary future?!"
He realized that it was still that strange energy, which had entangled him like chains not long ago. Now it was even more formidable.
Within his body, the small gray millstone spun, frantically absorbing those light beams and refining them. At the same time, he also circulated the Daoist Induction Breathing Technique.
"Aow!"
Suddenly, not far away, the humanoid monster sealed in the reincarnation earth broke free, rushed over, and lunged onto Chu Feng's body.
It was too fast; there was no time to dodge at all.
This was the bloody monster Chu Feng had once expelled, which had formed due to accidental contamination with a small amount of Great Universe-grade pollen. It was originally his blood mixed with strange, mutated substances.
Now, at this critical moment of his evolution, the bloody humanoid monster also attacked, merging with him once more.
Old Gu grew anxious. This was simply unsolvable. Those things had directly entered Chu Feng's body and merged with him; he couldn't even step forward to help.
Internal troubles and external threats, all bad things converged and happened at once. For anyone else, it would be certain death, their cultivation vanishing on the spot.
Even Chu Feng's body shook violently, and blood seeped from all his pores. A single misstep could lead to eternal damnation, possibly dying miserably right here.
"Good," Chu Feng thought, "let all these hidden dangers erupt. I will resolve them all at once. Such tempering is the best test; if I endure it, I will be the strongest!"
However, another unfortunate development occurred simultaneously!
Before him, the six-zhang-tall ancient tree grew increasingly dim, its purple leaves showing signs of wilting, and the entire tree trembled rustlingly.
Especially, the flowers were on the verge of withering, and no pollen was falling from them.
Chu Feng took steps, continuously setting up formations, activating the field of this famous mountain, drawing energy from the underground ancestral veins to nourish the cracking bark of the great tree.
Even so, he couldn't make the flower buds bloom again. The only comfort was that he had stopped it from continuing to wilt.
The next moment, the entire tree shrunk, continuously contracting, condensing into a three-foot-tall form with semi-closed flower buds, and settled inside the stone jar.
It was like it had entered hibernation, dormant and completely still.
This was very bad. Chu Feng was still evolving and wanted to continue breaking through. Moreover, he was facing life-or-death threats, with various hidden dangers within his body, indicating a major problem.
But there was no more pollen; it couldn't provide him with any assistance!
Old Gu couldn't bear to watch, his face turning pale. What was happening? Was heaven jealous of talent?
He truly felt sorry for Chu Feng. At the most crucial moment of his evolution, the medicinal tree had a problem. This was the most fatal setback; there was no greater harm than this.
Without a catalyst or an evolutionary trigger, it would be difficult to communicate with the mysterious factors between heaven and earth, which are necessary to greatly increase the activity of internal cells and facilitate evolution.
Moreover, creatures undergoing such a drastic change might even experience degeneration of their original bodies, leading to the most terrifying decline!
Chu Feng closed his eyes. He calmed himself and circulated his breathing technique. Not only were the pores of his physical body breathing, but his soul was also inhaling and exhaling, and with each breath, both resonated.
In the end, he forgot everything, repeatedly manifesting his own techniques and treading his own path.
A small bell hummed within his body, expanding from a central point, stretching outwards, scattering many dark lights.
Next, countless tiny swords, numbering in the tens of thousands, all formed from golden runes and almost imperceptibly small, flowed through his blood, cleansing his entire body.
Amidst hissing sounds and spine-chilling wails, it was as if terrifying malevolent spirits were being annihilated one after another, their heads being severed.
Within Chu Feng's body, many corrupting substances were expelled, then ground down and forced out of his body.
The next moment, five brilliant divine lights erupted from within his flesh and blood. This was the Seven Treasures Grand Art; he had currently only found five rare materials, which was why five-colored auspicious rays appeared, blossoming magnificently.
This light swept through everything, starting from within his body, grinding away much of the blood mist and corrupting substances, driving them out, and thoroughly purifying him.
Soon, Chu Feng employed various techniques, such as the Nirvana technique of the Phoenix race, recorded in the ancient texts he had acquired from the Martial Lunatic's armory.
In addition, he simultaneously unleashed the Lightning Fist, Great Sun Tathagata Fist, and other various methods, all merging and imbued with supreme golden runes, to purify himself.
Later, all the corrupting substances were purged. He had actually completely resolved the hidden dangers on his own!
However, Chu Feng's body was riddled with holes and suffered greatly. He closed his eyes, unmoved, and diligently observed the hazy, broken path before him.
He silently chanted scriptures and circulated his breathing technique, activating the light particles that naturally existed between heaven and earth. These were the spiritual substances he had once seen.
Countless special pollen particles, once concealed by time and buried by dust, began to appear.
Boom!
At this moment, heaven and earth cycled, and reincarnation reversed. Everything seemed different. The path before Chu Feng became increasingly clear; the broken path was tangible.
Old Gu was startled and involuntarily touched the path that extended close to him. It actually... truly existed!
In an instant, Chu Feng stepped onto it. In the distance was boundless darkness, but on the path, light particles fluttered like fireflies in the night, gathering towards him.
"I must become stronger," he murmured. "If one day I lose the seed and the stone jar, I can still evolve!"
He whispered, very calm and indifferent. At this moment, he was fully immersed in a special Dao realm, manifesting the ancient path, meditating on the light particles, and drawing in the glowing mysterious substances.
These substances had always existed between heaven and earth, not created by anyone, not left for anyone. Any gain depended entirely on oneself.
The void resonated. Countless light particles fluttered in the darkness, simultaneously surging onto the broken path, engulfing Chu Feng, who became like a human-shaped beam of light.
His battered body was repairing itself. At the same time, he was integrating his own techniques, gaining deeper insights, and his entire being was ascending.
At this moment, it felt as if he had experienced centuries. It was like an eternal moment, where one's spirit briefly left the body to cycle through reincarnation.
Finally, Chu Feng took a firm, confident stride forward on the broken path!
The moment his foot landed, the entire path hummed and trembled. Countless dust particles rustled down, making this ancient path increasingly clear.
He was like someone polishing a treasure, allowing this path to see the light of day again.
Chu Feng's body recovered, and his strength surged again, improving significantly. He had broken through without relying on pollen; both of his dao fruits had evolved once more.
It was just a pity that he was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Constant Heavenly Venerate!
As for Great Heavenly Venerate, he had naturally surpassed that long ago. Now he was considered a Quasi-Constant Heavenly Venerate, his strength reaching the extreme!
Everything ended, and silence fell upon the place.
Old Gu stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. This evolution today had been full of twists and turns, leaving him terrified and deeply uneasy; it had been truly perilous.
Fortunately, Chu Feng's evolution was successful and perfect! This made Old Gu let out a long breath.
The gray creature was in a terrible state. It had been stomped into the dirt by Chu Feng, almost drained dry itself. Now it was only half the size of a fist, a truly pathetic sight.
Chu Feng's entire body was crystalline, even his hair strands were brilliant. Especially, the Human King's blood within him was slowly transforming, emitting a faint purple glow, on the verge of advancing.
He was already close to the Twin Constant Venerate fruit position. With this additional boost, immense power radiated from his every move. Now, even if he encountered a Great Power, what of it? What was there to fear!
"It's done?" Old Gu's eyes burned with fervor. He felt that the strange earth he had given was well worth it. He had truly had his eyes opened today, even seeing that ancient path.
This would definitely have a profound impact. Someone had actually visualized that lost true path; it was too unexpected. Old Gu felt that this gave him a reference for his future evolutions, especially since he had just seen some unusual things with Chu Feng!
"It's done," Chu Feng said. "However, I must quickly make the seed grow again. I myself should also fully become a Constant King!"
Currently, Chu Feng was most concerned about the seed. After growing into a medicinal tree, it had shrunk again, surprisingly stagnating without advancing or retreating, leading to too many unexpected problems.
They exited the mountain belly and arrived at a flat plain. In an instant, Chu Feng's communicator began ringing incessantly, and he received various video and audio messages.
"Ji Dade, where the hell have you been?" came a voice. "You stood me up; this dragon isn't done with you!"
"Cao De, you scoundrel, you tricked me again!" another voice fumed. "I remember this, just you wait, I won't let you off!"
"All you 'De' generation people, not a single good one among you!" roared another. "Cowardly as rats, you promised to attend the meeting, where's your integrity, where's your conscience?"
All these messages were from the Strange Dragon, who cursed Chu Feng fiercely, furious that he hadn't shown up. Long Dayu had waited for a long time at the agreed location, wasting time, but hadn't even seen a single strand of hair.
He was beside himself with rage, feeling that he had been teased and played by Chu Feng once again. He wished he could skin Chu Feng alive and swallow him whole.
Especially since he had prepared a "great gift" just to deal with Chu Feng, but that bastard didn't show up!
Chu Feng immediately contacted him, saying, "Dayu, where are you? It's Dade Bro, I was delayed on the way by something. Tell me a place, I'll go through fire and water, without hesitation, and rush over immediately!"
"You dog, don't think about deceiving me again!" Long Dayu retorted furiously. "This dragon won't fall for it!"
"I'm really not lying to you, I'm actually coming this time!" Chu Feng said earnestly. Because he truly wasn't lying; he intended to go and rob the Strange Dragon!
Even if the Strange Dragon set up an ambush and called upon a Great Power to intercept him in advance, he wasn't afraid. They would see who would trick whom.
"Really?" A green light flashed deep in Long Dayu's eyes.
"Really!" Chu Feng replied with absolute certainty!
