Chapter 447: Frantic Evolution

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

On Mount Wuyi, a creature that had transcended the shackled realm had appeared. It had forcefully burst its way into the Earth's space, and as a result, its arms had been burned off by the flames created by the domain's symbols and it was howling incessantly in grief.

The signs of activity here were not small. They had been discovered by the mountain's steel-threaded serpent king. It passed the information on to the outside world, which immediately created an intense disturbance among the people.

The steel-threaded serpent king was sure that this humanoid creature had reached the carefree realm. The scene of it breathing was astonishing. The energy between its mouth and nose undulated, and it was like two white mythical flood dragons prancing.

This was a major event and an extremely dangerous signal. Creatures that had surpassed the levels of the shackled realm were about to come through one after the other and enter Earth. This was extremely worrying to the native evolvers!

"Finally, a high-level creature has appeared." Chu Feng sighed. In the end, this day had finally come.

It had only been five days' time since the quasi-sage attacked. This kind of powerful meddling from the starry skies directly led to violent changes on Earth. The strength of energy between famed mountains experienced substantial increases, green vines erupted with jade-colored brilliance in the depths of mountains, flowers gushed out radiance, and even the cliffs became sparkling and translucent.

Everything was different. The medicinal effects of the mutant fruits were rapidly strengthened!

The person who had broken through from Mount Wuyi had his arms broken off, and was no longer considered a threat, but this did not mean that other extraterrestrial creatures who came crashing through would meet the same fate.

The famed mountains and great rivers stirred restlessly—the monkeys howled and tigers roared. Tranquility was impossible!

Chu Feng's pressure had multiplied. What could he do? He could only search for mutant fruits to quickly evolve and grow stronger!

If he were really to wait for the divine sons and saintesses from each star passage to come out for the kill without having increased his strength, he would fall in desperate straits and face the threat of death. The saint had ordered his death, and his influence was too great!

At this time, Chu Feng had a bountiful harvest. He had found many different kinds of mutant fruits with strengthening properties, like the scarlet flame pear and the silver fruit. If they could be refined into medicine, they could support him in breaking the tenth shackle.

If this were the past, he would be overjoyed, but now he had a type of urgent feeling. He felt this still wasn't enough!

"I'm not sure how the golden fire date of Mount Huang is doing. I hope when the time comes it will give me a nice surprise!" Chu Feng said to himself. He did not go to pick it immediately; he wanted to cultivate it for another two or three days.

Before he had left for the Moon, he was growing that date tree, and he had hoped that it could be harvested in ten days or half a month. Now that the heaven and earth were changing quickly and violently, he had even higher hopes for the sharp growth in its medicinal properties.

This was because that date tree was rooted in the essence flames of extreme yang and was originally a holy tree. It was merely because it had just recovered that it hadn't yet revealed its heaven-defying properties.

Chu Feng believed that when it bloomed and bore fruit next year, most of that old jujube tree would be outstanding.

At this time, some of the corporate powers contacted Chu Feng, such as Bodhi Biogenetics, the Extraterrestrial Civilization Institute, and the Archaic Institute. The extraterrestrial descenders were becoming stronger and stronger. This led the corporations to become uneasy, and they wanted to discuss countermeasures.

Chu Feng respectfully declined and did not make an appearance.

He didn't have any time to discuss these matters. He only wanted to become stronger.

As fast as lightning, Chu Feng rushed to the Mount Zhijin in Jiangning and began to set up domains. Because he wanted to refine the medicine without being discovered, he concealed the entirety of this special zone.

Since he had suitable mutant fruits, he naturally would not delay. He could attend to other matters after he had upgraded himself. This was because he was afraid of being unexpectedly discovered. If by any chance he ran out of time to refine the medicine, he would be left with regrets.

The flames of this mountainous region were scathing, but nobody outside was aware of it. Here, Chu Feng laid out multiple layers of domains. He concealed the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace, isolating it from the outside world.

Aside from the medicine that Chu Feng was refining, there were several treasures within the Eight Trigrams Furnace, such as the spirit binding cord, the bronze sword, the silver armor, and the monastic robe.

Of course, there was also the diamond chakram and the spatial bottle.

The raging flames surged and the flames radiated, making Chu Feng's body reflect a yellow light. The flames were golden-bright, dazzling, and they glowed with a treasured splendor that was both tenacious and powerful.

At his side were multiple mutant fruits simmering together. They condensed into a sparkling, translucent liquid, then were transformed into pills. It was truly miraculous.

At the same time, the weapons and armor were shining. They had been nurtured and refined, filling the air with a very spiritual kind of radiance.

"Huh?"

Chu Feng was surprised. During this process, he realized that the diamond chakram had changed. Every time it was brought here to be smelted, more or less some complex textures would always appear. They were complicated and marvelous.

Of course, these patterns would not remain on the surface. In the end, they would vanish into the interior. As for the exterior of the bracelet, in the end, it became increasingly snow white and transparent.

However, the item with the most significant change was the monastic robe. It was scarlet red, like the sunset, and shone with a twinkling radiance. In the end, the entire area was suffused with a rosy glow.

After being refined here, the Buddhist monastic robe shone with an even brighter red. The gold threads on the surface were moving about, like little snakes that had been resurrected, forming a complicated pattern.

Chu Feng was amazed. This monastic robe was even more valuable than he'd thought. The inside had a type of domain that was being perfected!

"This couldn't be the… legendary Equality of All Life, could it!?" He let out a startled look. On the Moon, he had thumbed through a great number of ancient books, and a certain personal note mentioned domains specific to the Buddhists.

Among them, the Equality of All Life had been commented on, and it could be counted as a grandmaster's masterpiece!

It did not say how strong this type of domain was, but rather how original and ingenious it was. The design was clever—in the field of domains, no matter whether you were a golden arhat or a lesser demon—all were equal.

Chu Feng's heart thumped in his chest. One must know, domains specific to the Buddhists, such as the Equality of All Life, were only mentioned in the ancient books on the Moon and not recorded.

"I hope it can be restored to its original state!" Chu Feng's eyes were bright with incomparable longing.

He knew that the monastic robe had issues and had to be slowly refined. It was hard to say how powerful it would be when all was said and done.

After one day and one night, the flames in every direction were extinguished, and the area of Mount Zhijin became quiet. There were more than a dozen sparkling and translucent pills in the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace and each of the purple pills glittered brilliantly.

Chu Feng said nothing and directly swallowed one pill. In an instant, his whole body flourished with holy red clouds that burst out from his pores, and the cellular activity in his body rapidly increased.

Thump!

It felt like something had been ripped from his body. The position of his spleen shone with a splendid light. A layer of radiant light penetrated through his body, covering its surface.

His constitution was swiftly and violently upgraded. His cellular activity rose rapidly as he evolved intensely. Some substances were discharged from his pores along with his sweat, and with a light jolt, fell on the ground.

After a long while, everything was over.

The inside of Chu Feng's body, including his five viscera, was lustrous and translucent. Once the sharp increase in his energy intensity had ceased and after severing the shackle of his spleen, he gained a completely new type of ability.

With just a little bit of physical exertion, the surface of his body was pervaded with a layer of magnificent light. It was like protective armor and rather difficult to break through. This was a huge increase in his defensive capabilities.

The spleen is the largest part of the body's immune system. Now when it released energy, sure enough, it was related to defense.

This ability was very practical as it could protect his body in battle and reduce injury.

However, Chu Feng still frowned. He had gained many abilities from the shackled realm, but it lacked any systematic sorting. He would have to make serious plans once he reached the carefree realm.

He picked up the monastic robe and gazed at it closely, exposing a satisfied smile. This object was indeed mysterious!

Whoosh!

Chu Feng tidied his things and left immediately. After that, he would charge into all of the famed mountains once more. He was determined to rise up quickly and continuously evolve in a short period of time.

"Actually, the greatest fortune is on the sacrificial altar on Mount Tai. There are the peaches of immortality and ginseng fruits. It's a shame that I don't have the confidence to make my way up there. The domain there is quite vast."

Chu Feng frowned. Currently, his academic achievements in the field of domains were quite extraordinary, but unraveling the sacrificial altar was still a bit too difficult for him.

He decided to walk among every famed mountain. There, he would start working on each of those places and deepen his practice and understanding of domains.

A green vine blossomed in the depths of Mount Luofu, producing six purple gold fruits. Their shape was oblate, and their fragrant scent filled the air.

Chu Feng was happy as he was sure this type of fruit would be useful to him. It could be refined into medicine and help him evolve.

"It is worthy of the name Mount Luofu. Many ancient legends of immortals told of a mutant fruit here that can help me sever the eleventh shackle."

Suddenly, he felt an extreme pain in the back of his head. It was like a sharp sword pressing against his head, trying to run through his forehead. Chu Feng quickly lowered his head.

There was a thumping sound. A short spear as thick as an arm was tossed. It flew by close to his body, and then it struck a low ridge in the distance, where it burst into pieces.

It was only one spear, yet it was able to destroy a mountain peak.

Swish!

Chu Feng lifted his hand to pick all the purple gold fruits and then with a sudden leap, he appeared four or five kilometers away.

Tssssch!

During this process, several spears flew over quickly, pursuing him.

Were it not for Chu Feng's luminous wings, which enabled him to rapidly soar through the sky in the other direction, he would certainly be skewered.

After Chu Feng had left the area where the flying spears could do the most harm, he landed and looked back at the area eight kilometers away. There was a tall creature closing in. He had a murderous intention, and he had already locked on to Chu Feng!

It was a being from the carefree realm!

This person had four arms and bronze skin. He was sturdy, powerful, and aside from his arms, he was no different from other humans.

It was clear that he knew of Chu Feng and had read some materials and seen his pictures. To him, the saint bronze badge's allure was irresistible, and he longed to cut off Chu Feng's head.

"You dare come to famed mountains alone to kill me!" Chu Feng's expression was cold.

The four-armed humanoid creature said nothing. Just now, his sneak attack had failed and made him realize that he was most likely in a terrible situation.

Bang!

The next moment, he moved with abnormal speed, chasing Chu Feng through Mount Luofu for the kill. His hands continuously glowed, and he kept throwing spears one after the other.

They were not material objects, but rather energy. He wanted to suppress Chu Feng, make him too busy to attend to other matters, and make him passively accept his torrential slaughter.

Boom!

Unfortunately, this was not a field, nor a city, but a famed mountain! The preexisting domains underground were activated as soon as Chu Feng willed it.

This zone immediately let out a resounding tone, and an aura of murderous intent flared up.

Chu Feng used domains to fight back.

Finally, a sheet of spider web-like light beams interweaved to form an inescapable net that covered his attacker.

Pop!

Chu Feng took this opportunity and immediately rushed over. He swung his bronze sword, and with one strike, he hacked off his head. A fountain of blood burst out of the headless body.

He left soon afterward. He had a huge advantage fighting in the famed mountains and possessed a rather unbeaten momentum on the home-field.

Chu Feng left, leaving behind a sturdy corpse.

He returned to the Mount Zhijin in Jiangning and started refining medicine once more.

A day later, he severed the eleventh shackle. His liver glowed amidst a surge of purple radiance, increasing his strength yet again.

This time, his treasures' upgrades were limited.

At this moment, the outside world was not tranquil. The creatures of the carefree realm had really come out, and it wasn't as simple as just one or two.

"Where is Chu Feng?" Some people were urgently searching for Chu Feng, for if they killed him, they could obtain the bronze seal.

It wasn't just one or two people, but rather a large group of creatures that had come out from the famed mountains!

"It's been another few days, so the essence flames of extreme yang jujubes on Mount Huang should be almost ripened."

Chu Feng sped along the whole way. Finally, he was going to pick that mutant fruit.

He rushed to Mount Huang and visited its peak. As expected, the golden fruits on the tree were like a string of small lanterns, and their sweet scent assailed the nostrils, giving him a pleasant surprise.

This time, the whole world was changing rapidly and violently. Mount Huang's old date tree had grown vigorously. It simultaneously smelled of both medicine and fruit, and the dates, which were as big as fists, gleamed with a golden light.

This place already had a domain, which had also been assembled by Chu Feng. The average person was unable to reach it, so nobody could ever pick the fruits.

The old date tree was rooted in flame essence. Auspicious mist filled the air, and the jade-colored leaves carried the luster of diamonds. Now that all of the fruits had been thoroughly ripened, their medicinal properties were incredibly strong, and they could help Chu Feng evolve.

He let out a smile as he waved his hand and picked all of them, then without stopping to rest, he rushed once more to Mount Zhijin to refine the medicine.

On this day, he was isolated from the world. He had paid no attention to external affairs. His heart and soul were focused on upgrading himself, so he completely ignored all of the external changes happening outside.

In reality, the storm clouds outside were raging. Many ferocious characters had appeared. The creatures from the carefree realm had begun to walk the Earth, creating no shortage of crises!

After one day and one night, Chu Feng had successfully refined the medicine. In the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace, he swallowed a golden pill, and the energy within his body surged frantically.

A bunch of glaring rays of light burst from his stomach and caused his whole body to shake severely. He was amazed. After breaking the stomach's shackle, there were some differences. It was comparable to when he had broken the heart's shackle.

The stomach region was spacious and empty. The special ability he had obtained was the ability to devour external energy, store it, and then transfer it to all his limbs and bones.

So far, Chu Feng had already severed the twelfth shackle. He had reached the peak of this realm!

Typically, severing the twelfth shackle was enough. Even if one were to sever more, their strength would not increase. They could already enter the carefree realm.

Chu Feng suddenly opened his eyes. His stomach had transformed into a golden whirlpool capable of devouring the heaven and earth. It was like an ocean capable of swallowing hundreds of rivers. His energy surged up violently, and his strength in battle increased sharply.

In particular, the small black and white millstone was also in this place. It could purify energy and upgrade its quality by several levels.

Chu Feng's stomach glistened and glowed, and the brilliance extended to the rest of his body.

Relatively speaking, Chu Feng's powers in the shackled realm far surpassed that of average people. He had still accomplished this even though he had to rely on himself to fumble about this planet belonging to a declined evolver's civilization.

If he was in the outside world, he could be considered a divine son or a saint child.

"I wonder how things are outside?" Chu Feng left Mount Zhijin.

He left the special terrain, the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace, and pulled out the communicator from the spatial bottle. He carefully looked at the messages, and his countenance changed on the spot.

Someone had gone to the town at the foot of Mount Taiheng, Qingyang, to ask about his whereabouts. What was more, in the end, a fire burned his house there to ashes.

Was this a declaration of war?

Soon, he also came to understand that someone had been searching for the great demons of Mount Kunlun. They wanted to start with them and find out where he was.

However, the Mastiff King and the old llama had already left Kunlun and they no longer occupied that area.

Following that, Chu Feng's face changed color once again. He had received a report that there were also descenders searching for his parents. This was forcing him to show himself.

Contrary to expectations, he was not worried. Earlier on, he had already told his parents to go into hiding. They were to live in seclusion with the old ape.

"This group of people will truly use any means to get the saint bronze seal. They only want to force me out and chop off my head." Chu Feng's gaze was icy cold.

"You think you're all that just because you're in the carefree realm? Today, I will meet you. I don't care if it's a saint child or goddess. To those who target me, don't hesitate to give it your all in this fight. Don't force me to slaughter you!"

Chu Feng was without fear. Even if he suffered defeat, if worse came to worst, he could burst into the famed mountains!

However, he was now standing at the peak of the shackled realm. He felt he could step into the Carefree level at any time!
