Chapter 1597: Who Can Remain Undefeated All the Way?

Someone else had arrived from the Heavens. Their powerful, confident, and indifferent tone, evident even before their appearance, immediately signaled they were a Dao Child level being.

"Which Dao Child has descended?"

"Could it be that some of the more ill-tempered Dao Children have been stirred? If so, once they act, it will surely shake the heavens and earth!"

The middle-aged and younger generation cultivators from the Heavens were incredibly excited. It had been too suppressive recently, with Chu Feng alone suppressing all of them, leaving them feeling stifled and uncomfortable.

All the races across the myriad heavens were silent, also waiting. Was an even stronger Dao Child about to appear?

People felt uneasy and uncertain, breaking out in a cold sweat for Chu Feng, as he was, after all, facing the Heavens.

His ability to defeat one Dao Child was already an astonishing and brilliant achievement, but the Heavens were unfathomable; who knew what kind of monster would descend.

After all, that legendary supreme pure land had given birth to unfathomably brilliant cultivation civilizations.

Immortal mist filled the air as a lean figure, not particularly tall, emerged unhurriedly from the gateway of the Heavens. Their eyes were exceptionally vibrant, like two piles of immortal fire burning deep within their sockets.

He appeared to be in a youthful state, but Chu Feng estimated this was merely an illusion; the individual had been on the cultivation path for at least over a hundred years.

"Dao Child Yun Heng!"

"It's actually Venerable Yun Heng himself!"

Many were surprised, recognizing the newcomer.

The title "Venerable" (Shangren) was not simple; it denoted inner virtue, outward manifestation of sacred laws, and a standing above ordinary people.

Generally, the middle-aged and younger generation would not receive such an honorific, as their status and experience would not yet be sufficient to support it.

However, this Dao Child had earned such a respectful title, clearly indicating a remarkable origin.

"Dao Child Yun Heng is an ascetic cultivator who travels throughout the Heavens, specializing in eliminating ill omens and eradicating calamities," someone whispered. "For the living beings of the world, he certainly has his merits."

Even in the Heavens, some terrifying ruins and ancient cursed lands contained large amounts of ominous matter. This Dao Child traveled everywhere, refining these strange energies, earning the admiration of many.

No one, anywhere, was willing to come into contact with ill omens, as it easily damaged one's cultivation.

Thus, Yun Heng was referred to as "Venerable" by many.

"In this world, who can remain undefeated? There is no one who is eternally invincible. You have won one battle against a Dao Child; that should be enough to retire gracefully. Yet you are increasingly arrogant, wishing to soar above the Heavens and look down upon all mountains? Alas, such a person cannot be born in the lower realms. You have gone too far!"

Yun Heng spoke with the same indifferent tone.

Chu Feng felt a resonance with the first part of his statement: "In this world, who can always sing triumphantly? No one can be glorious forever."

Even a powerhouse like the Heavenly Emperor of old, who should have been a supreme being at the end of their path, now had an unknown fate and whereabouts.

Every era has its own brilliance, and even the most glorious powerhouses have a day when their curtain falls, though Nine Dao One, the Dog Emperor, and others were unwilling to accept it.

Even though Chu Feng was very confident and extremely powerful, he never thought of fighting all the Dao Children of the Heavens in a single day.

That was unrealistic!

He needed to accumulate. At the very least, he needed to first walk the path he clearly saw, for example, by perfecting the Seven Treasures Divine Art. If it fully transformed, reaching the extreme number of nine or even surpassing it, his foundation would greatly increase!

In that case, he might actively ascend to the Heavens to overpower all Dao Children and test his own cultivation!

However, he was quite unenthusiastic about the latter part of this Dao Child's words. The preachy tone made him wonder who the Dao Child thought he was. "Let's have a fight first!"

This was Chu Feng's powerful and confident mindset. Especially after experiencing the laws of the body cultivation path and comprehending the Undying Scripture, he now really wanted to know how much he had improved.

Furthermore, he had absorbed 'Void' matter and now had a six-colored light wheel, whose power he hadn't truly tested yet!

"Who do you think you are, calling yourself 'Venerable' or whatever? I am here seeking defeat. Whether you yield or show contempt, won't you ultimately have to face me in a duel? Come!" Chu Feng pointed at him, indicating there was nothing more to say; it was time to act.

"If that's the case, then let battle decide!" Yun Heng said calmly. He was neither happy nor worried, his emotions completely undisturbed, like a deep sea during calm weather.

Chu Feng stared at him, already impatient, wondering if this Dao Child could give him a surprise. If there were natural treasures similar to 'Void' matter, it would be a perfect feast for him.

Of course, the premise was that he could win; a crushing defeat would be a personal tragedy, rendering everything meaningless!

Yun Heng frowned, feeling the intense, burning gaze of his opponent, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty. "What... what's wrong with this?!"

He had some unpleasant associations, wondering if this demon he encountered had some strange fetish. His previously undisturbed mind instantly felt a sense of revulsion.

"Kill!"

Yun Heng took the initiative to strike. A layer of vibrant and dazzling armor appeared on him; it was battle armor refined from divine bird feathers.

Although made of feathers, they had a metallic texture, dazzling and beautiful, covering his body and protecting all his vital points.

At the same time, a Heaven-Net Umbrella appeared in his hand. It spun with a buzzing sound, sweeping towards Chu Feng after being unleashed, trailing wisps of primordial chaos energy.

He immediately used a heavy weapon. This umbrella crushed the void with terrifying energy, blooming one energy mushroom cloud after another along its path.

This was the Heaven-Net Umbrella, capable of piercing through heaven and earth and suppressing all demons.

Chu Feng did not dodge. After assessing the energy level of this treasure umbrella, his entire body's blood roared like thunder as he activated the Undying Scripture to directly withstand the large umbrella.

His challenge against the Dao Children of the Heavens was essentially to temper himself and to test the essence and power of the two body cultivation scriptures he had just comprehended.

Chu Feng smashed his fist onto the umbrella's surface, sending sparks flying everywhere, dispersing wisps of primordial chaos energy, and emitting a tremendous sound that shattered eardrums.

Many groaned, and some screamed, covering their ears as blood trickled from them.

Fortunately, the cultivators present on the battlefield were not simple; even if their eardrums were ruptured, they could be repaired and regenerated.

People gasped in cold air. How dared this demon Chu Feng do such a thing? Had he perhaps possessed Dao Child Zhen Teng's body to be so fierce, using his physical body to withstand a heavy treasure?

In an instant, people realized that he had indeed gained immense benefits from comprehending the "Undying Scripture" not long ago, achieving an epiphany in a short time.

"He's a monster!" Many were astonished.

In such a short time, he had achieved such comprehension, and his physical body was clearly much stronger. Was he going to keep pace with Dao Child Zhen Teng, who specialized in body cultivation?

More than that, Chu Feng's next move left everyone dumbfounded.

Yun Heng's Heaven-Net Umbrella, with its massive canopy, rotated like a sharp blade, ripping through space, aiming to cut Chu Feng in half.

This time, Chu Feng didn't even use his fists. Instead, he used his shoulder and the right half of his body to directly collide with the sharp edge of the large umbrella.

That was an edge like an immortal sword, glinting with cold light. How dared he do such a thing?

Clang, clang, clang!

The Heaven-Net Umbrella trembled violently, its edge seemingly colliding with the hardest mixed mother-gold. The edge of the large umbrella was slightly dulled and already damaged.

"He's a freak! The Heaven-Net Umbrella can easily kill mighty figures. How can his physical body withstand it?!"

"I was too conservative in my earlier guess," someone exclaimed. "Chu Feng's physical body is probably truly almost identical to Dao Child Zhen Teng's. It's terrifying! His flesh and blood have actually become his most powerful weapon!"

"But this defies common sense," another wondered. "He just comprehended the Undying Scripture and already reached this level?"

"All we can say is that his own physical foundation is astonishingly strong," another commented. "He has accumulated for a long time, and now, with the correct scripture, he has directly unlocked the treasures of his body. This type of person is naturally suited for the path of body cultivation!"

The brief battle and Chu Feng's performance caused a huge stir, deeply impacting and shocking the middle-aged and younger generation cultivators from the Heavens.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Chu Feng felt something strange: an energy was being transmitted from the opponent's Heaven-Net Umbrella, actually trying to corrode him?!

Mist diffused, silently engulfing the area where the two were fiercely battling.

"Heh, he noticed it, but it's too late," someone remarked. "Over the years, the Dao Child has been refining ominous matter and other substances, benefiting the world, and in this process, he can now use strange powers."

"I held back for a long time just now, not mentioning the Dao Child's truly astonishing ability, waiting for this moment," another chimed in. "The demon Chu Feng is in danger, being corroded by the strange substances the Dao Child has refined and collected. What can he fight with now?!"

Among the middle-aged and younger generation from the Heavens, many showed anticipation, silently waiting for the show to begin.

Even in the Heavens, some secret lands and ancient ruins contained ominous substances. Dao Child Yun Heng, along his journey, had collected and refined a large amount of strange energy.

When he faced enemies, he could use this ominous power.

Whether in the Heavens or among the myriad heavens, no cultivators from any race were willing to come into contact with such substances, as it could easily damage the foundation of their Grand Dao.

Therefore, those watching from the Heavens believed Chu Feng had encountered the greatest danger.

They felt they had already seen the outcome of this battle: Dao Child Yun Heng, ranked thirty-second in the Heavens, should achieve a great victory, leaving little suspense.

"The demon Chu Feng's defeat is certain," someone commented. "Look, his physical body is completely enveloped by the ominous mist, unable to break free."

Soon after, the grey mist gradually dissipated, and the wisps of black qi also thinned. People were astonished to discover that it had all entered Chu Feng's body.

"He's finished," someone from the middle-aged and younger generation in the Heavens sighed. "He actually didn't avoid it and was corroded to the most severe extent. His Dao foundation is probably heavily damaged!"

"Although he is arrogant and excessively domineering," another said, "to be suppressed like this by Dao Child Yun Heng, with his Dao foundation collapsing, it's still somewhat tragic."

Even among the cultivators of the Heavens, there were some compassionate individuals.

Of course, many others sneered. They had been displeased earlier by this native suppressing them alone, and now they finally saw him suffer a setback, with the possibility of his own Grand Dao path being severed.

"Is that all?"

Chu Feng suddenly spoke, two short words, full of vigor. He seemed completely unaffected, which immediately startled everyone.

Then, people were astonished to find that Chu Feng's gaze was very odd; when he looked at Dao Child Yun Heng, it was incredibly strange. What kind of look was that?

People were somewhat uncertain, somewhat suspicious; it seemed very much like disdain or contempt.

"What the heck, what's going on?" they wondered. "He's actually showing disdain for the Dao Child ranked thirty-second in the Heavens?!"

Finally, many people perceived it; it must be that very feeling!

Even the old monsters of the Heavens, observing the anomaly here, were somewhat speechless. Since when did a native from the lower realm have such high standards, showing a look of contempt and not even acknowledging their Dao Child?

Yun Heng's expression slightly darkened. Being in the midst of it, he naturally felt it more acutely. He was being belittled by his opponent; this was simply illogical... discrimination!

Chu Feng's gaze was a true reflection of his inner feelings; he genuinely disliked and was unwelcoming towards this person.

He was too disappointed because his opponent had nothing similar to 'Void' matter; what they did have was merely strange and ominous things.

Was he someone who lacked "strangeness"? In the lower realms, he had come into contact with it in large quantities; if he wanted it, where couldn't he find it?

If not, he could just find that Little Grey who transformed into a grey-haired princess; blowing her up would be enough to refine a pile of grey matter.

Chu Feng was originally full of anticipation, but it turned out that this Dao Child's trump card was merely this concentrated ominous substance. Chu Feng... really didn't lack it!

Therefore, he disdained Dao Child Yun Heng, really wanting to say, "You're too poor! A dignified Dao Child, and this is all the meager greeting gift you prepare for me?"

Chu Feng's inner thoughts, conveyed truly and unmistakably through his gaze and subtle spiritual fluctuations, quickly made everyone understand the situation.

A group of people's jaws almost dropped to the ground, realizing that the demon Chu Feng was truly showing disdain for Yun Heng.

Yun Heng, who was originally very indifferent, now felt deeply hurt. He was actually being so belittled by a native from the lower realm; he was simply not seen as significant at all!

Boom!

Yun Heng unleashed the Grand Unity Bottle. From its mouth, a vast amount of grey mist, which he had extracted and refined from ruins, surged forth, sweeping towards Chu Feng.

However, was this effective against Chu Feng?

It still had a certain effect, but not a negative one; it was positive. The small millstone inside him spun frantically, absorbing the essence of the grey matter, refining and absorbing it, and thereby strengthening itself.

Next, Chu Feng opened his mouth, practically guzzling it down like a whale drinking, while the pores on his skin also opened, devouring the grey matter.

People from the lower realms were fine; they had all seen Chu Feng subdue strange creatures.

Now, the cultivators from the Heavens were all dumbfounded, unable to believe that someone actually used strange substances as "food."

This was truly a monster among monsters!

In an instant, Dao Child Yun Heng almost collapsed. The strange substances he had painstakingly collected and refined were just... eaten by someone?!

"Kill!"

Dao Child Yun Heng roared furiously. A bow appeared in his hand, drawn into a full moon shape. He clearly shot out a single arrow, but then the sky was filled with countless dense arrows, like innumerable comets striking the earth, carrying monstrous energy, blasting towards Chu Feng.

Thousands of arrows, each dozens to hundreds of miles long with long tail lights, tore through heaven and earth, shattering the void and bursting the sky, all heading towards Chu Feng.

This was Yun Heng's Dao-protecting treasure!

However, it was still useless. This time, Chu Feng was very serious and did not use his physical body to withstand it. Instead, he activated a divine art; a six-colored light wheel rushed out, enveloping him and spinning.

Amidst crackling sounds, all the huge arrows, carrying immense energy like comets striking the earth, were completely shredded and unable to approach him.

Chu Feng transformed into a bolt of lightning, leaving traces of the Grand Dao in the void as he rushed towards Yun Heng. With a bang, he unleashed several full-force punches.

In the fierce collision, Yun Heng was ultimately badly injured, sent flying backward, and coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

Dao Child Yun Heng's most powerful method was to control ominous substances and unleash strange powers, but he was almost completely countered by Chu Feng; all his methods were practically useless.

Therefore, he couldn't resist at all now, immediately falling into peril and risking being killed at any moment.

At the last moment, Yun Heng took a green gourd from behind him—a gourd he had inadvertently plucked from an ancestral mountain in the Heavens, bearing faint traces of the Grand Dao.

However, the gourd had now been successfully refined and contained concentrated ominous blood.

"Hiss!"

He unleashed the precious gourd, from which black blood gushed forth, staining the high heavens and engulfing Chu Feng's location.

Chu Feng quickly avoided it. The blood was too putrid, and there was absolutely no need for him to extract its essence.

One could see that the void was corroded and collapsing by this terrifying black blood, with countless large cracks appearing, and even the order of heaven and earth was severed as a result.

This was one of the true bloods from a strange origin. Of course, the true blood in the green gourd was very diluted now, not a pure source of black blood, but it still created terrifying phenomena.

Chu Feng stood within the light wheel. First he dodged, then, impervious to all spells, the black blood could not touch him.

A fist light illuminated the sky as he blasted forward.

Although Yun Heng resisted with his precious gourd, he was still struck by the fist light, his body exploding in the void, leaving bloodstains and scattered Dao bones.

However, he was ultimately a Dao Child level figure, possessing extraordinary means. He did not completely die from this strike, quickly reforming his flesh and true bones in the distance and taking shape once more.

He gasped for breath, kneeling on one knee, holding the green gourd in his hand, his face filled with despair. He knew he had lost, and it was a crushing defeat.

"Even the black blood of the contaminated Azure Hound from the legends of the Heavens couldn't do anything to you," Yun Heng said, incredibly disheartened. "This blood contains unspeakable rules. I... have lost!"

In fact, it was mainly because he was naturally countered by Chu Feng; otherwise, he would never have been completely suppressed and beaten like that!

Chu Feng did not make another move; he didn't want to kill him in front of everyone. After all, a Dao Child level being like this had a very significant origin and deep background, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the myriad heavens.

In the end, he wasn't strong enough. If he were unrivaled throughout the world, he naturally wouldn't consider so much.

Chu Feng didn't touch Yun Heng, but someone else couldn't resist.

A black dog's head, as large as a mountain, suddenly appeared before Yun Heng, like a colossal dragon staring at an ant. The contrast between the two was immense.

"What's all this about the black blood of the Azure Hound? Don't you just mean black dog blood?" the Dog Emperor said, his large, mountain-like face darkening and almost pressing against Yun Heng.

"I... I didn't mean that!" Dao Child Yun Heng was on the verge of collapse; this was an unexpected disaster.

However, he looked closely again and again and found that this black dog did seem somewhat similar to the legendary Azure Hound of the Heavens' past.

In the Heavens, any being daring to be called "Azure Hound" clearly had an immensely powerful background.

"What kind of rotten Dao Child are you, daring to tease your Dog Emperor Grandfather with black dog blood? Bah!" The Dog Emperor was displeased. It stretched out a large paw and poked forward.

With a bang, that green gourd, even though it contained faint traces of the Grand Dao, still couldn't withstand it and exploded directly.

Yun Heng was practically going crazy. "Did I provoke you?!"

The Immortal Kings of the Heavens were stunned. They could see that the Dog Emperor had no intention of actually harming Dao Child Yun Heng, so they didn't pay attention or intervene, but now they were all speechless.

Yun Heng almost lost his composure and wanted to shout out loud, but he held back.

Still, he felt terrible.

He had already suffered a crushing defeat, and then to be scared, threatened, and intimidated by an Immortal King level black dog in the end was truly somewhat crushing to his spirit.

For a moment, he was disheartened and extremely desolate. He stumbled away, his back even appearing somewhat hunched.

Clearly, this Dao Child suffered a great setback today. Even his Dao heart was unstable; he was indeed severely hit by his experience in the lower realm.
