Beyond the heavens, the black shadow, exuding an immense sense of oppression, was utterly indifferent. Its pitch-black eyes resembled two black holes, threatening to swallow souls.
It remained silent, yet its presence instilled even greater fear. Even the decaying Grand Universe-level beings from various races couldn't help but tremble.
This was not due to cowardice, but an instinctive urge to submit, much like how a deer naturally feels suppressed and anxious when encountering a king of beasts.
Silently, it stretched out a hand. Instantly, the entire world plunged into darkness, for the hand was so colossal it covered the entire sky, filled the void, and shrouded the land where the Heavenly Court resided.
A Dao Ancestor made a move, covering the heavens with a single hand, stretching for an unknown number of miles!
A single, pitch-black palm transformed day into night, boundless and all-encompassing, obscuring everything.
It sought to seize the vast land, capture all things, freeze time, and cause the rivers of years to tremble and halt for it.
All things withered, and the grand universe grew desolate. Under this colossal hand, it trembled and roared. The order of the heavens shattered, and rules dispersed. Only a single black hand reached into this world, becoming the sole entity.
Boom!
Chu Feng showed no fear, nor did he indulge it. No Dao Ancestor, no trailblazer among the ominous beings, could make him submit or tremble.
The moment he perceived an ill omen, he preemptively unleashed a punch, striking first. His fist print, illuminating the grand universe, ascended with a roar, dazzling brightly.
With a thunderous crash, his fist print shot beyond the heavens, repelling the Dao Ancestor to the outer reaches of the Yang Realm's grand universe, directly clashing with the immense black hand.
Beyond the world, the sky collapsed and the earth tore apart. Immortals wept and demons howled, various phenomena erupted, dazzling across the grand universe and truly shaking all worlds.
It was the first time people had witnessed such a young evolver daring to contend with a Dao Ancestor, and not losing ground. Everyone felt stunned, their minds blank.
No one had anticipated such an astonishing and truly unbelievable turn of events.
The majestic and intimidating black shadow, the Dao Ancestor from beyond, also frowned. It too was astonished, wondering how an seemingly insignificant young man could suddenly possess such world-domineering power.
The situation in the Central Heavenly Palace shifted abruptly. Everyone was petrified, utterly stunned. What had happened? Chu Mo's strength had skyrocketed, as if he had become a completely different person!
Chu Feng's black hair billowed, and his eyes shone with exceptional vigor. He stood with his back to the crowd, facing the Dao Ancestor from beyond alone, completely unafraid, exuding an incredibly powerful and reassuring presence that put everyone at ease.
Currently, he was dealing with that envoy.
Chu Feng's palm grew larger, gripping the grey-robed youth. He casually pulled and twisted him as if molding a clay dog or a mud chicken, causing the formerly arrogant and frivolous grey-robed man to growl, roar, and finally wail in agony.
The grey-robed man simply couldn't bear it. He was like a rag doll caught in the jaws of a beast, torn beyond recognition, his body ragged and tattered.
He was a True Immortal-level being, yet now he was being manipulated at will, tossed back and forth like a scarecrow.
His entire body was already broken, bones shattered and tendons torn, with no intact parts. Blood oozed everywhere, presenting a truly miserable sight.
Everyone stood frozen like statues, only their hearts trembling. That was an envoy from the ominous source, a genuine Immortal-level being, usually high and mighty. Yet now, he was being kneaded and pulled by Chu Mo, reduced to a mere plaything.
“Stop! Hold on! I am an envoy, sent from my race's sacred land to discuss important matters with you. You cannot treat me like this!”
The grey-robed man was terrified, filled with dread. His body was nearly torn apart by Chu Feng, with no intact parts remaining. If this continued, he would simply fall apart.
Chu Feng didn't bother responding. What was the point of talking about an envoy or discussing important matters now? What had he been doing earlier, imperiously ordering everyone around, disrespecting the races of the heavens, acting unruly? Did he regret it now?
Furthermore, this grey-robed man had repeatedly humiliated the evolvers present, brimming with malice. He dared to come to the Heavenly Court headquarters to recruit followers, and even demanded Chu Ultimate's Dao companion as a gift in return. This was utterly intolerable.
Moreover, the so-called envoy sent by the ominous race had no sincerity whatsoever. He wasn't here for a secret discussion but approached with a condescending attitude, primarily to gauge the Heavenly Court's current state and strength.
Chu Feng had nothing to say to this man. He would first give him the 'generous reward' he deserved, then simply beat him to death!
Without a doubt, this individual wasn't well-liked even in the ominous desolate land; even the inauspicious Dao Ancestor had explicitly stated as much not long ago.
However, for such a person to become an envoy, he must have some background, a notable origin, otherwise it wouldn't have been his turn to come here.
“Dao Ancestor, please descend with your Dharma body, cleave this world, and save your junior!”
At this moment, the grey-robed man finally cowered, losing his former arrogance and directly crying out for help.
In the sky, a hazy black light burst forth, then exploded like countless black suns, crashing down accompanied by endless chaotic energy.
The black shadow exerted its power, attacking once more.
However, Chu Feng was already prepared. This time, the ripples beneath his feet glowed, transforming into brilliant golden waves that surged upwards, engulfing the firmament.
The Dao Ancestor of the ominous race was once again blocked outside the grand realm, unable to enter.
At the same time, Chu Feng raised his hand and slapped the grey-robed man, causing his entire head to tilt awkwardly and his neck to twist unnaturally.
“Still feeling cheeky? Today I'll beat you into submission,” Chu Feng said, striking him again. The grey-robed man had been utterly detestable before, so naturally, Chu Feng wouldn't hold back now.
“You... you can't treat me like this!” the grey-robed man cried out. He was truly afraid. This young monster was casually torturing him and would surely kill him in the end.
He knew very well that the other party would utterly annihilate his body and spirit, leaving him no chance of recovery.
Regardless of cultivation realm, how many could be fearless and unafraid of death? At the very least, the grey-robed man didn't want to die, and his voice trembled.
“Why can't I treat you like this? There's nothing special about it!” Chu Feng answered with actions, delivering a furious, relentless beating.
The grey-robed man's bones were all broken, his teeth had fallen out, and his body was covered in blood. He was clearly on the verge of collapse.
“Beating me is like targeting a Dao Ancestor! If you continue like this, the Dao Ancestor won't let you off,” he threatened Chu Feng, panicking and speaking without thinking, his voice trembling with feigned ferocity.
Chu Feng immediately smiled, responding this time, “I even fight Dao Ancestors, let alone you?!”
As he spoke, he grabbed the grey-robed man like a tattered sack, soaring into the sky, directly charging out beyond the world to challenge the black shadow to a decisive battle.
Countless evolvers in the Yang Realm stared wide-eyed. Today was truly groundbreaking. Who could have imagined that Chu Mo would suddenly erupt and directly challenge a Dao Ancestor?!
Chu Feng carried the grey-robed man out beyond the world, leaving the grand world behind him.
Many top powerhouses in the Yang Realm, such as ancient clan patriarchs and fossil-like Immortal Kings, immediately activated secret treasures and immortal mirrors to observe the battle.
“Die, or release him!” The black shadow, towering as if standing within a cosmic black hole, devouring surrounding light, spoke with cold indifference, its voice locking onto Chu Feng.
Everyone in the Yang Realm who witnessed this scene felt a chill. The black shadow was clearly not joking; was it warning Chu Feng that it was about to strike a fatal blow?
“Don't give me orders. We are of the same rank, you have no right. Besides, I, Lord Chu, have already said I will slaughter a Dao Ancestor today!”
With a resounding boom, the next moment, no one had anticipated that Chu Feng's outburst would cause such horrifying repercussions, truly terrifying.
Even Chu Feng himself hadn't expected the immense power of this strike!
A hazy brilliance swept across the space beyond the world, as if piercing through countless grand universes, forcefully cleaving open the path ahead and severing the long river of time.
It was a zither, petrified, which Chu Feng used as a large club, directly swinging it forward to smash.
Even the kings stared, dumbfounded. It was a zither, an elegant artifact, yet Chu Feng was so crudely wielding it, smashing it towards the Dao Ancestor's body?!
This... everyone's eyes were wide and fixed, utterly speechless.
Waste of natural resources, burning the zither to boil a crane, casting pearls before swine... In that moment, a string of similar idioms involuntarily surfaced in the minds of the kings.
People were dumbfounded. Chu Feng's ferocity truly stunned a group of old monsters. Using an elegant artifact as a hammer or a club to smash someone — truly unprecedented.
However, that power, that force, was truly shocking and awed the world.
The stone zither cleaved through the space beyond, penetrating some shattered, lifeless, desolate universes, cutting through them like a plow, unstoppable.
Even a complete grand universe, with its full set of Dao principles, if it stood in the way, would now surely be pierced through, capable of dissecting a top-tier grand world.
The power of this strike was unimaginable!
The black shadow was strong, but it hadn't anticipated Chu Feng using a zither as a hammer, as a large club, smashing it against its body. It didn't evade.
It was struck, stumbled, lost its footing, and then was sent flying, its mouth full of bloody foam. It had actually been injured.
Witnessing this scene, the kings were almost petrified, unable to believe that such a 'wasteful' and 'crude' strike could actually injure an extremely powerful Dao Ancestor?!
At this moment, Chu Feng himself was in a daze. What was the origin of this stone zither, to possess such power?
He secretly recalled how even the stone jar had reacted to it back then. It was truly terrifying!
Then, he ignored the black shadow, which had risen with cold, murderous eyes fixed on him.
Instead, he held up the grey-robed man and said, “You said beating you is like targeting a Dao Ancestor? That actually makes sense. I beat you, and then I thrashed your Dao Ancestor too. Indeed, you both look the same, both beaten by me simultaneously!”
The grey-robed man, held by Chu Feng like a chick, was truly terrified now, trembling uncontrollably. What kind of monster was this? He wanted to scream it out!
That was an unmatched Dao Ancestor, yet it was immediately tripped by this Chu monster, solidly smashed, and now bleeding profusely from its mouth – truly horrifying. How could the grey-robed man not panic?
“Useless thing, why are you trembling?” Chu Feng said, disdainfully shaking the grey-robed man in his hand, no longer wanting to torture him.
Then, with a series of tugs and a miserable shriek, he tore the grey-robed man apart, killing him on the spot and utterly annihilating his body and spirit.
“Although he was nothing special among the Grey Mist race and quite annoying, one thing cannot be denied: he was a direct descendant of the direct lineage, which is why he qualified to be this envoy. You have caused a great disaster, and in the future, you are bound to die at the hands of beings at the end of the road,” the black shadow said coldly, as if revealing Chu Feng's tragic future.
“Who dares to touch me?” Chu Feng replied, fearless. “Starting with you, today I'll slaughter a Dao Ancestor for all of you to see, so those so-called ominous supreme races can prepare more coffins.”
Then, he... grabbed the stone zither and charged forward again, once more beginning to smash his opponent.
Evidently, the commotion here had alerted the other two pairs of Dao Ancestors engaged in fierce combat. Both Nine Dao One and Gu Qing noticed, looking as if they had seen a ghost, gazing towards this spot through the endless void.
This young man... he can stand shoulder to shoulder with them and face terrifying Dao Ancestors together?!
“Seniors, how are you?” Chu Feng also found them, inquiring from hundreds of millions of miles across space-time.
Now, he possessed sufficient strength, and even witnessing the grand showdown of Dao Ancestors caused him no discomfort; he was remarkably calm.
“I'm preparing to find an opportunity to kill him!” The Old Man Skin's words were as ferocious as ever.
“I'm... alright too,” Gu Qing replied, his voice weak, clearly injured. He was indeed struggling, no match for that sharp and intimidating golden-haired Dao Ancestor.
Just then, the golden-haired Dao Ancestor's eyes, like swords, shot out dazzling and intimidating beams of light, severing the long river of time and simultaneously cleaving Gu Qing apart!
This was terrifying! The Dao Ancestors of the ominous race were extremely dangerous. Were they trying to destroy the fortune of the Dao and kill the new emperor of the heavens?!
The heavens and earth collapsed, and chaos exploded beyond the world. Some remnant, lifeless universes were completely torn open, destined to face their end prematurely.
Gu Qing was actually cleaved apart, a truly miserable sight. He was covered in blood, with a wound extending from his forehead down to his chest and abdomen, almost tearing him completely open.
“Senior, are you alright?” Chu Feng roared, continuing to attack the black shadow.
“I'm fine. We're all Dao Ancestors. If he wants to grind me down, it'll likely take at least a thousand or eight hundred years, probably without much hope of success,” Gu Qing said, clearly forcing himself. While battles between Dao Ancestors of the same level often lasted for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, it was a different story if there was a significant gap in their Dao cultivation.
“But you're... split open,” Chu Feng said with concern, constantly monitoring Gu Qing while continuing his own battle.
“No matter. You get used to being split, you adapt,” Gu Qing responded, then proceeded to mend his Dao injuries and repair his physical wounds himself.
Chu Feng was speechless.
Some peak Immortal Kings, who observed the battle beyond the world through special means, exchanged glances, utterly speechless for a moment.
“Unacceptable! He dared to harm you, to split your imperial body. I will first kill one of their Dao Ancestors! Senior Gu, hold on, wait for me to kill a Dao Ancestor!” Chu Feng shouted.
Both Nine Dao One, Gu Qing, and all the kings were dumbfounded, unsure what to say. Killing a Dao Ancestor was not so simple; it usually required slowly grinding them down over vast expanses of time.
Boom!
Then, people watched as Chu Feng, like a madman, wielded the stone zither and relentlessly hammered the black shadow across the outer reaches of the domain, sending it toppling again and again, leaving the black shadow covered in blood!
Dao Ancestor blood splattered beyond the world, a sight that truly stunned everyone. Even Nine Dao One and Gu Qing were astonished, finding it unreal.
“Why aren't you dead yet? I want to slaughter you, quickly perish! Are you a stone from an outhouse, stinky and hard? How can you be so tough? Just die already!”
Chu Feng, while swinging the stone zither and wildly smashing forward, muttered indignantly.
In fact, the black shadow was even more enraged, finding it utterly unbearable. It wasn't a decaying Grand Universe being, nor was it a mortal. It was a powerful Dao Ancestor. How could it be easily annihilated by a being of the same level?
Even among peak Dao Ancestors, how many could directly kill it?
Yet this young monster before it was so indignant, simply because it couldn't immediately dispatch it.
How preposterous! This junior dared to underestimate and despise it so much. The black shadow felt incredibly frustrated, unable to tolerate it any longer.
Suddenly, Chu Feng plucked the stone zither's only string. In an instant, the crystalline thread, like the trajectory of boundless Great Dao, slashed out.
With a thud, it sliced through the black shadow's flesh, almost bisecting the inauspicious Dao Ancestor at the waist, leaving the black shadow utterly shocked and deeply terrified.
It flew directly backward, vast quantities of genuine Dao Ancestor blood pouring out, astonishing everyone.
“Why are you still alive? Your companion dared to split Senior Gu Qing's imperial body, so I'm going to make your Dao collapse immediately!” Chu Feng relentlessly pursued, looking utterly frenzied. That feeling truly seemed... incredibly righteous.
Everyone felt as if they were dreaming. This madman Chu couldn't possibly truly believe he could slaughter a Dao Ancestor on the spot, could he?
Judging by his current demeanor, he certainly had that mindset. If he didn't slaughter the supreme Dao Ancestor now, he seemed likely to... go even crazier?!
“This lunatic!”
“Damn it, this is outrageous!”
At this moment, let alone others, even the other two terrifying Dao Ancestors from the ominous desolate land couldn't help but curse and swear.
