Chapter 1582: A Melody Erases All Enemies

"Then, you can die!" the man in the gray mist said, his voice cold and emotionless, as if pronouncing Chu Feng's doom.

Chu Feng's brilliant fist-print exploded like a great sun, collapsing the void as it neared. The man, with a rumble, voluntarily dissipated, transforming into a swirling mass of gray mist that surged rapidly towards Chu Feng, threatening to engulf him.

How could Chu Feng fear gray mist? The so-called strange matter, once it attached itself to him, was merely a supplement, something his internal small grinding disc could refine.

However, before he could begin absorbing and refining it, the Hou beast moved. Its ferocious aura truly intimidated the world; the moment it opened its mouth, the entire void shattered, and mountains and rivers became unstable.

Crack! Dozens of large void cracks, half a foot wide and extremely dangerous, spread towards Chu Feng. The Hou beast, enveloped in monstrous black blood energy, charged forward.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Chu Feng drew his saber, a flash of dazzling cold light appearing as he slashed at the ferocious Hou. Sparks flew everywhere. The Hou's massive, incredibly sharp claws shattered the void, clashing head-on with the long saber.

Of course, it was very agile and sensed danger, never touching the blade's edge but always striking the side of the saber.

"Have you decided? This world will perish, and there will be no hope. Don't throw pearls before swine. Join us, and you will be granted a high position, even as the commander of the vassal army!"

The gray mist churned, and the man's voice echoed, making the entire world tremble.

"After the great destruction, such treatment is rare. This is equivalent to granting you an extraordinary karmic position!" the man in the gray mist further emphasized.

Chu Feng's face immediately darkened. "A vassal army commander isn't a servant then? And you talk to me about karmic positions? I'll smash your dog head!"

He felt that the opponent was too arrogant, daring to repeatedly mention servitude to him and even embellishing it as a karmic position. How much contempt did they have for the beings of this world?

A fierce battle erupted!

Chu Feng's primary target was the ferocious Hou. He had heard of the so-called Black Blood Era's turmoil and was indeed wary of it.

He, however, didn't much care about the gray mist, as he could directly refine it!

Energy boiled, mountains and rivers trembled, the void cracked, and it seemed as though the entire sky would be knocked down by their attacks.

Chu Feng was astonished; these two bizarre creatures were surprisingly powerful, startling him.

In fact, his opponents were even more shaken than he was, their minds surging with turmoil, unable to calm down.

As so-called enforcers, they were beings whose combat power was off the charts within their peer group. While not invincible in their realm, they were incredibly formidable elites.

But now, what kind of monster had they encountered? They couldn't defeat him, and even fighting him together, they couldn't subdue him.

Outside, people were all trembling with fear.

Even the collaborators were unnerved; many turned pale. Such individuals, who paid particular attention to Chu Feng's combat strength, found it truly terrifying.

Chu Feng circulated the Daoist Breathing Technique, unleashing his Ultimate Fist directly. Meanwhile, the dazzling long saber in his hand moved like an exploding thunderclap, its cold light cutting across the heavens and earth, omnipresent, tearing apart the world!

He did not play the stone zither, but he deployed his strongest methods, truly going all out.

"Thud!" Finally, he severed the ferocious Hou's massive head with a single strike. Black blood splattered, and that blood made Chu Feng's hair stand on end; it was truly inauspicious.

He sensed it and believed he could refine the black blood mist, but such a substance was absolutely perilous.

Legend had it that during the true Black Blood turmoil, a single drop of blood could contaminate all heavens. This ferocious Hou's blood evidently contained only a wisp of that essence; it could not possibly be a product of pure black blood.

"Roar!" The Hou's true soul roared, its fury undiminished, churning there, still attempting to attack.

"A mere mutt, daring to bare its fangs at me? Die!" Chu Feng said coldly. With a single slash, the Hou's true soul shattered, its form and spirit vanishing completely.

Only the man in the gray mist remained. He was naturally more on the defensive, but he changed form continuously. The gray mist would coalesce into a human shape for a moment, then surge like a tide, sweeping across the vast wilderness.

However, he was astonished to discover that his own energy was weakening with every passing moment. Chu Feng was unafraid of his corrosion, directly "whale-swallowing" and "ox-drinking," absorbing the gray matter.

"She misled me, made me come assess the worth of this vassal commander, and ruined me!"

The man was horrified. He thought of the newly promoted woman in his own clan, who had once used Chu Feng as a host. She hadn't come herself; had she foreseen this outcome?

"Come on, aren't you inauspicious? Aren't you a strange monster? I just see you as a dish of meat. Come, corrupt me!" Chu Feng taunted.

At this moment, Chu Feng seemed like the greatest inauspicious monster in history!

The man fought Chu Feng across the heavens and earth, but the gray mist around him grew thinner and thinner. In the end, even his own form was about to be completely dispersed by Chu Feng's ultimate fist-print.

"No!" he cried out, but it was useless.

Because the brilliant beams of light Chu Feng unleashed had bound him, making escape impossible. Finally, he was shattered into a mass of energy, which Chu Feng poured into a cauldron.

"After such a fierce battle, I'll cook up a pot of 'dog meat' soup to replenish myself!" Chu Feng declared.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone outside, Chu Feng forced the gray creature back into its original form, placing it in the cauldron to "stew" and extract its essence.

"Oh my god, too brutal! What am I seeing? Is this real? Demon King Chu wasn't corrupted; instead, he's going to consume the strange gray matter?"

"This... unbelievable! He's not afraid of the gray mist corroding his body?!"

In various places, many people were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes. That Chu Feng, the Great Demon King Chu, was stewing the gray creature, intending to eat it. It was truly an eye-opener.

"I am a Qi refiner!" Chu Feng stated righteously.

He was indeed refining Qi, but it was gray Qi, drawn from the terrible substances in the cauldron.

This was an extremely unique and strange energy substance, crushed and refined by the small grinding disc within him, which was quite astonishing.

"Before the two-world battlefield, there was an agreement that strange creatures like you should not appear. Yet, you've delivered yourselves to me as a dish. In that case, I won't be impolite; I'll be a Qi refiner for once."

Outside, people always felt something was off when they heard such words.

Even some old monsters were petrified. In the end, countless people sighed, "Demon Chu is truly too brutal!"

Silently, an unknown number of figures appeared in the vast wilderness. All were masters, all were Reincarnation Hunters, their shadowy forms surrounding the area.

Finally, this group arrived. Chu Feng raised his head and saw a large number of withered beings of various races, all strong, not a single one below par.

He took a quick look; there were hundreds of Reincarnation Hunters from all directions!

Such a display of force, such a contingent, was enough to annihilate even some super great sects and make ancient traditions vanish like smoke. Their power was truly astonishing.

Normally, let alone Chu Feng alone, even if several more ultimate seeds like him appeared, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

In the distance, more hunters were still arriving!

Most crucially, terrifying fluctuations of the Great Dao pulsed through the heavens and earth. Among them were dozens of "Foragers," monsters on the Path of Reincarnation said to feed on Heavenly Venerables.

Foragers were the strongest of all eras, each having illuminated a period of time and left their names in the historical records of their respective great worlds!

Now, so many heaven-defying beings appeared together, solely to apprehend one person—Chu Feng.

"Heavens, are they insane? This is truly an eye-opener. I counted, and there are over thirty Foragers! This is the first time I've ever seen or heard of Foragers appearing in groups!"

In the Yang World, everyone who witnessed or learned of this scene was utterly shocked.

Some saw Luo Qiudao, others Qi Yuntian from the Scarlet Rainbow Realm. Both had once shaken ancient history, leaving their prominent marks in the annals of their great worlds.

Now, both of them had arrived. In their respective eras, they were considered legendary, invincible figures.

These two stood at the rear, observing Chu Feng from the furthest mountain peak!

It was conceivable that the other thirty Foragers also possessed astonishing backgrounds and would be not much inferior to them.

The Reincarnation Hunters were still gathering, ultimately numbering no fewer than eight hundred. It was evident that the Tomb Keepers on the Path of Reincarnation were truly enraged, dispatching such a formidable lineup to apprehend Chu Feng and deny him any chance of escape.

To everyone, this seemed absurd. When had it ever required eight hundred Reincarnation Hunters and over thirty Foragers to capture one person? It was simply unimaginable!

"I think Chu Feng's life should be over; there's no way he can leave alive!"

"If he can break through this, and not be turned to dust, it would be an unprecedented miracle!"

Countless people discussed, no one favoring his chances. How could he possibly survive this? It was absolutely impossible, as the disparity in strength was too vast!

"Heh heh, ha ha! Let's see how this demon Chu defies the heavens. Even if he's the reincarnation of a Heavenly Emperor, the ultimate seed of this era, he won't survive. I'll wait to see him perish, beaten to death!"

Some among the Yuan clan and the collaborators laughed loudly, utterly brazen and unrestrained.

"Have you all arrived?" In the vast wilderness, Chu Feng, now a "Qi refiner," discarded the broken cauldron and took out an ancient Wutong zither. He sat cross-legged on a large bluestone and began to tune the strings.

Around him, among the powerful beings, there were clearly those with supreme Golden Roc bloodlines, Taotie, Nine-Headed Birds, and innate gods and devils with three heads and six arms!

Over eight hundred Reincarnation Hunters and more than thirty top-tier prodigies, all from the most supreme races, watched him indifferently, drawing closer.

Such power, such a gathering of monstrous geniuses, could practically sweep away all opposition and crush every enemy!

"A praying mantis trying to stop a chariot! Those who dare to oppose the great tide—die!"

"You, a mere junior from a later generation, dared to make us mobilize such forces. You are destined to be mercilessly crushed by the chariot of reincarnation, reduced to dust!"

Among them, hunters spoke, and Foragers scoffed. Now, they launched their attack!

At the same time, Chu Feng moved. Ostensibly, he was tuning the Wutong zither, but in reality, he had already activated the stone zither.

A zither note resonated between heaven and earth, like a dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry, swirling with a thousand Great Daos and ten thousand rules, cleansing all above and below!

Then, people witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives, one that would never be erased from their minds.

In the vast wilderness, those Reincarnators, those invincible Foragers from various eras, at this very instant... disintegrated, scattering in all directions!

Golden Roc wings, the feathered wings of the direct descendants of the Three-legged Golden Crow, the arms of Chaos Divine Clan members, the heads of innate Demonic Apes, the forearms of human prodigies... all, dripping with blood, flew in all directions!

Amidst this world-shaking scene, accompanied by Chu Feng's zither melody, his cold voice also echoed into the distance.

"The heroes of the world rise from our generation..."

With a flick of his finger, the zither's sound ripped through past and present, shaking all realms. All his adversaries disintegrated, dyeing the vast wilderness with blood, and one majestic mountain peak after another also crumbled and exploded!
