Chapter 922: The Strongest in the Underworld

A cold wind blew, and the steep slopes were covered with withered yellow leaves. Chu Feng stood on the hill, roaring loudly, wishing he could immediately rush to Earth.

This was a very remote corner of the universe. He had hidden Yaoyao's grandfather there and buried that coffin. Now that people from the Yang realm had arrived, he worried that discovering Yaoyao's grandfather would provoke the terrifying entity that had implanted the 'mother metal' in him years ago.

He was now incredibly enraged. His furious blood surged to his scalp, like a crimson true dragon projecting from the top of his head. It circled in the void, roaring. He had never imagined there would be so many injustices on the path of evolution. His former way of thinking and his old perspectives on matters no longer applied.

This was more than just the law of the jungle. On the path of evolution, there were too many indignities, injustices, and cruelties. Compared to society before the spiritual energy resurgence, it was far too direct; disagreements often led to bloodshed. It was as if someone was stepping on his face, burning his soul, trampling everything he believed in. They were arrogant, overbearing, and full of malice.

Chu Feng clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. Because of Earth, some unrelated tribes had been dragged in, their fates miserable, which fueled his intense rage. Feather Star, Hundred Rivers Star, Qi Yun Star, and South Departure Star had excellent relations with Earth in ancient times. But in this era, their interactions were merely recent and not yet close. For them to be targeted like this was too tragic and made him furious.

He felt he was too naive, too "pure and good-hearted," and still approached the complexities of the evolutionary world with a modern person's mindset. What kind of demon was he? The so-called Demon Chu was actually soft-hearted, never wiping out his enemies completely, too lenient with them. If he had to choose again, he was certain that no matter if the world flooded after his death, or if he would face the so-called Ten Courts of Hell judgment, he would completely eradicate the Xilin, Heavenly God, and Corpse tribes. Why spare them?!

Near him, a corner of the stone box shimmered faintly. This trip to purgatory had unexpectedly allowed him to discover some special uses for this artifact. When he operated the Daoist Breathing Technique, he could actually use it to store and retrieve objects. However, this was quite strenuous for him. The stone box could only store a limited amount of material, at most a cubic meter. Furthermore, it could only be activated by the Daoist Breathing Technique; other breathing techniques were useless, and the stone box showed no response.

"Could it be some special power within the City of Light and Death that caused the stone box to revive?"

Chu Feng left, rushing towards Earth's outer space via a super wormhole. He didn't delay at all. His blood roared within him, making him feel as if he would explode. The people from the Yang realm were truly too arrogant and bullying. Their contempt and high-handedness showed they completely disregarded the inhabitants of this universe. They casually massacred, carrying out city-wide slaughters at will, without any concern for the loss of life.

"Chu Feng, have you arrived? The show has just begun, you know." The junior female disciple of Tianzun Luanyu said with a sweet smile, standing comfortably in space in a goose-yellow long dress. She lazily stretched her slender waist, and half-covered her vibrant, sensuous lips with a fair hand as she let out a small yawn.

With a light wave of her hand, two old monks were brought forward and held in place. Someone raised a gleaming long blade high.

"Stop!"

Chu Feng arrived, emerging from the wormhole. Standing in Earth's outer space, he immediately recognized the two old monks: Qianjia and Qianye, evolutionary beings from Earth's Bodhi Gene.

"Oh, it's too late, you've arrived too slowly." The junior female disciple of Tianzun Luanyu smiled charmingly, and with a delicate wave of her hand, the people in the distance, upon receiving this command, raised their blades and struck, and with two thuds, decapitated the two old monks.

Chu Feng's blood boiled with rage. This was truly too much bullying. If he hadn't been concerned about other potential Earth evolutionary beings on the other side, he would have already thrown out his green gourd.

"Seeing the shock and anger in your eyes, are you perhaps unconvinced?" Qi Xia, the junior disciple of Tianzun Luanyu, said with a faint smile, tidying her hair, her bright red lips glistening, appearing unconcerned: "I really don't like your attitude. There should be many other old acquaintances of yours on Earth. I think it's necessary to bring them over one by one and publicly decapitate them all."

She spoke casually, causing a tremor in the hearts of the subdued saints nearby. Many were awed and remained silent, not uttering a word. People from the Xilin, Heavenly God, and Corpse tribes, however, smiled, watching Chu Feng with considerable interest.

"Don't think I'm just talking casually; I'm very serious, you know. These two old monks from Mount Putuo were brought to me early by the people of Yingzhou, Earth, because they were closest to the sea. I think they'll be very diligent and responsible; they should go inland to abduct others." Qi Xia, the junior female disciple of Tianzun Luanyu, smiled brightly, appearing even more delighted.

As for the junior disciples of the three Tianzuns — Taiwu, Hunyi, and Yuanshi — they all wore faint smiles. Although they made no special gestures, they clearly approved of her actions.

Chu Feng was furious internally. Yingzhou, that servile island, was indeed a white-eyed wolf after all, comparable to the Xilin tribe, having retaliated once again. This time, the people from Penglai and Fangzhang islands behaved themselves and made no moves, which surprised the Yingzhou people, who then sneered and ignored them.

"You disgusting, vicious wretch!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, unable to contain himself. He truly wanted to flay her alive immediately. At the same time, he spotted some people from Yingzhou in the crowd. Those people instinctively recoiled in fear; some even stumbled, trembling, intimidated by his aura.

Chu Feng stared at the people from the Xilin, Corpse, and Yingzhou tribes. He felt that he had indeed been too soft-hearted in the past. If he survived this battle, he wouldn't mind transforming into a true great demon and initiating a thorough purge!

"Saying that makes me very unhappy. For a charming and beautiful woman like me to be so maliciously insulted by you... You're quite a handsome little 'yin spirit,' but you're not behaving, and for that, your nine generations should be executed." Qi Xia smiled, licked her red lips, and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Chu Feng.

"You vicious, yet pretentious and superior-acting scumbags from the Yang realm, your hypocrisy is nauseating!" Chu Feng glared at them, checking if there were any other living Earth evolutionary beings. He continued: "I admit you are strong, but do you really feel a sense of accomplishment by casually slaughtering cities and wantonly killing? It doesn't display your power; it just makes you seem disgusting and arrogant!"

"I think you've misunderstood something." Yuan Chen, the 6953rd generation disciple of Tianzun Taiwu, spoke coldly, saying: "We feel no sense of accomplishment in killing you. Because in our eyes, you are no different from chickens, ducks, pigs, or dogs." He said coldly, without any emotional fluctuation. His gaze showed that he didn't consider the evolutionary beings of the Yin realm universe to be on the same level as themselves.

"It's no fun to point out the obvious like that." Qi Xia, the junior disciple of Tianzun Luanyu, said with a laugh, looking at Yuan Chen, still quite casual. Then she looked at Chu Feng again and said: "It's an exception today that I've spoken so much to you. It's mainly because it's too boring in this graveyard, and seeing you just brightened my mood a bit, like playing with a stray cat or dog."

Chu Feng truly wanted to cleave her to death! In the eyes of the Yang realm people, the Yin realm universe was not on the same level as them. All life forms there were like wild beasts, and they could kill them at will without any psychological burden. Furthermore, in the eyes of Tianzun Taiwu's disciples, slaying Yin spirits was a meritorious act. The founding ancestor of their sect abhorred Yin spirits the most.

The junior disciple of Tianzun Hunyi spoke, quite indifferently, saying: "Actually, you Yin spirits are good research material, very useful to the Yang realm. Through you, we can understand the laws, order, and other aspects of how a fragmented and distorted universe comes into being."

Chu Feng saw a divine chain made of soul light behind them. It was binding several figures, including Qianye and Qianjia, as well as the old patriarch of the Feather tribe and others who had cursed Tianzun Taiwu. Their soul light was still present, and their bodies were further away. Although their bodies had been decapitated, they were still somewhat alive and could be saved!

Chu Feng ignored the cold remarks of the four great sects' disciples from the Yang realm. He knew that in their eyes, they weren't considered equals. There was nothing to say to such arrogant and self-important tribes. One day, he would make these great sects kneel and sing 'conquest'!

Now he focused on the old patriarch of Feather Star, Qianjia, and the others, intending to rescue them. He felt he needed to act quickly. Otherwise, those 'wolf cubs' and 'slaves' from Yingzhou, Earth, would likely send more familiar evolutionary beings from Earth.

"Look what this is?" Chu Feng took out the green gourd.

In an instant, the proud and indifferent Tianzun disciples and the successors of the four great sects couldn't remain calm. Their eyes widened in shock. They knew about primordial spiritual artifacts from the Chaos Sea. Even in the Yang realm, they were incredibly rare and precious. Instantly, greed flickered deep within their eyes. They coveted it, each wanting to seize it.

"A primordial gourd? How interesting, to appear in the hands of a mere 'yin spirit.' How shall we divide it?" Qi Xia broke the silence, being the first to laugh.

"Release them!" Chu Feng pointed at the soul lights of the old patriarch of the Feather tribe and the others. At the same time, a wormhole appeared beside him. Holding the green gourd, he said, "Otherwise, I'll throw it directly into the wormhole connected to the Great Abyss, and no one will get it!"

These people surprisingly readily released the weakened soul lights of the old patriarch of the Feather tribe and the others. After these individuals returned to their dismembered bodies, they were all pale and quickly retreated behind Chu Feng. Yuan Chen, Qi Xia, and the others didn't stop them, their faces still bearing smiles. In their eyes, Chu Feng was merely meat on a chopping board, incapable of stirring up any trouble. They also fundamentally didn't regard him as an equal being.

"Sirs, please be cautious! Earth is very strange; there are three 'Reflection of the Heavens' level evolutionary beings!" A saint from the Xilin tribe warned.

"What 'Reflection of the Heavens'? It's merely the Reflection realm. In my Yang realm, even a Tianzun wouldn't dare claim their divine temple could manifest across all heavens. This is a fragmented and distorted universe, smaller than a mere corner of the Yang realm, just a mass grave. And the Yin spirits here dare to boast about 'reflecting the heavens'? Ridiculous!"

"Don't worry. I actually hope some Reflection-level Yin spirits jump out so we can eliminate them all. They're just common dogs!" Yuan Chen said scornfully, looking down at Earth: "Too bad we've already surveyed it, and this planet currently has no Reflection-level Yin spirits; they must have all fled."

Through their words, the nearby saints felt a chill in their hearts. They further realized the terrifying nature of the Yang realm.

"Ultimately, it's all because this mass grave is too weak, its rules incomplete, and its order can collapse at any moment. In our Yang realm, only those at the Golden Body level can fly and tunnel. Here, soaring into the sky is far too easy." The golden Great Heavenly Dog spoke. It raised a large paw, pointing to Mars, then to Earth below, saying: "I can shatter the planets here with a single slap; it's too simple!" According to them, the Great Heavenly Dog was only at the Saint realm. However, in the Yang realm, it was precisely called the Saint Domain, and evolutionary beings at this level did not hold a very high status. As for the planets in the Yang realm, Saint Domain-level evolutionary beings could not shatter them. If they dared to try, they would be obliterated by the planet's will!

By this time, Chu Feng had already protected the old patriarch of Feather Star and the others. He weighed the green gourd in his hand and said, "Who among you should I give it to?"

"Give it to me! This item is destined for my sect!" Yuan Chen was the first to exclaim.

"Hehe, give it to me. I'll take you as my personal attendant later, and I'll be kinder to you!" Qi Xia smiled sweetly.

"Hand it over. This item is destined for the Yuanshi lineage!" Another person said indifferently, extending their hand.

At this moment, a saint from the Xilin tribe cautiously suggested: "Sirs, beware of a trick!"

"In the face of absolute power, any worm trying to stir up trouble is futile. Do you believe an elephant can be tripped by an ant? Look closely, what is this?" Yuan Chen smiled contemptuously, pointing to the yellow decree on the flying vessel. Everyone felt a chill; the flying vehicles of the four sects were adorned with Tianzun decrees, enough to awe the entire Yin realm universe!

"Forget a mere worm, even Reflection-level Yin spirits would suffer a miserable death if they came. We'll kill them one by one, five pairs if ten come. The entire Yin realm can only tremble beneath our feet!"

At this moment, even Chu Feng was awed. The Tianzun decrees had been brought over, which was beyond his expectation! A cold shiver ran through his body; he felt a sense of powerlessness. With four Tianzun decrees present, how could he fight? He hadn't understood before, but now he did. Tianzuns were immensely powerful, and their decrees naturally possessed earth-shattering energy.

However, the killing intent deep in Chu Feng's eyes did not diminish. He recalled the words of the yellow-haired fox from the foreign land: even Tianzuns were wary of the gray substance. Tianzuns might be able to resolve it, but their decrees alone wouldn't be enough!

Now, Chu Feng had waited for the optimal moment. He couldn't waste it; he could now kill them! Without any hesitation, he pulled out the gourd's stopper. He exerted all his strength, slapping the bottom of the gourd, and unleashed all the bizarre substances.

"Roar..."

Like ancient beasts unleashed from a gate, one after another, they roared. They emanated overwhelming killing intent and bone-chilling coldness. All of them grinned hideously as they lunged at everyone in front.

"Mere rabble! How dare you act presumptuously before a Tianzun's decree?!" Yuan Chen was utterly indifferent, not taking it to heart in the slightest. In his view, Tianzuns were supreme; a single strand of their hair falling could cleave through the so-called powerful beings here, let alone their decrees!

The others also laughed, completely unconcerned.

As expected, the four Tianzuns' decrees glowed, emitting terrifying divine light, densely covered with symbols, and extremely frightening! However, some of the gray, bizarre substance still broke through, shocking those present!

Simultaneously, in the Great Abyss, the first forbidden zone deep within the universe, endless divine chains of order appeared. They instantly became brilliant and densely interwoven.

Boom!

In Earth's outer space, the four decrees simultaneously glowed. They rose with sizzling sounds, pulled by the rules and order of this universe, tearing through the star sea, and shooting straight towards the Great Abyss. They ignited and plunged into the depths of the Great Abyss, which gradually grew dark again.

Near the Great Abyss, several Void Leopards from the Yang realm, all at the peak of the Saint level, with surging Yang energy, were monitoring everything. Upon seeing this scene, their fur bristled, and they quickly reported it outwards.

At the edge of the Yin realm universe, on a large ship, several people were seated. Their expressions turned solemn after receiving the report. "Indeed, the Yin realm universe holds something that even Tianzuns fear, and it's in that Great Abyss!"

"These were just decrees casually stamped with a Tianzun's seal, not personally written by a Tianzun, yet they caused that Great Abyss to react. This is somewhat terrifying; it seems specifically targeted at Tianzuns!"

"It's suspected to be a Grand Universe-level evolutionary entity!"

Yuan Chen, Qi Xia, and the others were clearly expendable pawns. Sending them with the decrees was effectively a test. At the same time, the entire Yin realm universe was shaken. The four Tianzuns' decrees flew away, swallowed by the Great Abyss. Was there indeed the Yin realm universe's most powerful evolutionary entity there?!
