Bang!
The multicolored ship crashed into an uninhabited island amidst a cloud of dust. It had been struck by a beam attack and some parts of it had been pierced through. Many of the secret cold planks on the ship had been blasted apart.
Chu Feng's mouth was full of bloody foam. He had suffered grave injuries after a machine race entity had successfully boarded his ship, engaging him with dancing blades and surging blade intent. He came quite close to a mortal calamity.
Fortunately, the ship's weapons were still functional and fired a beam of energy at the critical moment, shattering that machine race expert. Otherwise, Chu Feng would be in grave danger.
That was, after all, consummate carefree realm expert of the machine race who had almost stepped into the visualization realm. If he had allowed the enemy to approach, there was no other outcome but death. The difference between them was too great.
He gasped for breath. The big multicolored ship was an antique flying vehicle and its weapon systems were already problematic. Except for a few usable parts, most of them were already in disrepair.
Buzz!
An ineffable fluctuation was transmitted through the air was a dense array of battleships appeared once again like a cold jungle of steel. They were enshrouded in the red glow of the holy blood's protection.
"Drive!" Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of turbid blood. His eyes were like lightning as he instructed Li Lin with a cold voice and had her drive the multicolored ship to escape.
The saintess' eyes constricted—she felt a wisp of killing intent and immediately realized that the magnetic needles in her body would explode if she refused to obey. It would blast her into pieces.
She drew in a cold breath and complied. She drove the ship away from the place and they vanished from the place.
Behind them, the dense armada was following closely without pause. They were heading towards their next destination and weren't the least worried about Chu Feng escaping.
There was no need for the Saints to point out where Chu Feng was. The treasured mirror in the dao child's hands was enough to clearly illuminate his position.
Chu Feng had encountered a most dangerous situation. He couldn't run away at all because no matter where he appeared, the enemy would catch up soon afterwards.
He had arrived in yet another sea region. Chu Feng leaned on the deck—the wound on his abdomen was a ghastly sight to see. It was drenched in blood and even his intestines were about to fall out. There was an ineffable energy preventing the wound from healing.
This was a setback he had never encountered before. He had been chased down all the way and nearly lost his life.
There was a bloody hole in his chest that was see through from front to back. It was the Xilin army descendant's Eastern Purple Mist Finger that had pierced through him. It was extremely terrifying and capable of destroying his vitality.
Additionally, there was a deep cut on his neck which nearly decapitated him!
The flesh at his back was badly mangled by a patch of sword intent which had almost disintegrated him. The injury had reached his spine.
The silver armor he had obtained from Yang Xuan's sister had already been torn. If not for it, he would've been killed already.
Phew!
A mouthful of turbid air escaped from Chu Feng's mouth and nose, causing the air to explode. It was even more terrifying than his normal sword qi.
Following which, Chu Feng took a deep breath and utilized the Thunderous Breathing Technique. His pores relaxed and began to exchange energy particles with the outside world in order to repair his wounded body.
Within moments his body began to emit explosive sounds like thunder falling from the nine heavens. It echoed continuously as his body turned entirely golden and forcefully emitted special energy from his chest and abdomen.
"This… what kind of breathing technique is this? Why does it look like the Buddhist race's Golden Body Breathing Technique?!" The silver turtle was astonished. It had realized that Chu Feng had indeed grasped an extraordinary breathing technique.
Chu Feng shot it a glance and then walked over. He then directly cracked open the turtle's shell and began to refine its essence blood from the back. Moments later, amidst a surge of bloody mist and steam, a few drops of lustrous blood appeared within the jade bottle in his hand.
"Ah…" The silver turtle cried out in misery.
Chu Feng paid it no attention and quickly stuffed the drops of galactic turtle blood into his mouth. This race was originally a quasi-divine beast race and this the refined true blood naturally contained vigorous vitality.
If there was a choice, Chu Feng wouldn't choose to do so since this was like devouring raw meat. But now, it was able to bring great benefits to his body.
Afterwards, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate the breathing technique Yellow Ox had given him. He was suddenly enshrouded in a mass of hazy white mist and the blood energy within his body began to boil.
At the same time, his heart began to glow like a bright red sun and shine with dense vitality to nourish his body.
When he severed the shackle in his heart, he had obtained astonishing restorative powers. Presently, his astonishing recovery began to show itself after pushing out the two streams of special energy.
His injuries healed and his blood energy surged out from his skull. As the breathing technique progressed, Chu Feng soon recovered to his peak state!
Many people on the origin beast platform were astonished. They were all dumbfounded after seeing Chu Feng use two breathing techniques and simply couldn't reflect on it!
"His breathing technique is a bit strange!" The commentator said with a surprised expression.
A renowned guest commented, "If even the origin beast platform can't capture the image, that breathing technique must be ranked within the top 10,000 in the cosmos."
This ranking seemed backward but there were countless races in the cosmos and there were vast numbers of vital stars in every galaxy. The powerful races therein numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
Being ranked within the top 10,000 was already a powerful breathing technique for most races!
A commotion instantly broke out on the origin beast platform.
Unfortunately, neither the origin beast platform nor the three saints could sense it from close by or experience its inherent qualities.
Otherwise, something big was bound to happen if they had realized what rank it was!
Even so, many people gasped in astonishment. They had never expected that a young man from a savage and withering planet possessed such a top-grade breathing technique.
Many people wanted nothing more than to immediately embark on a journey and search for the breathing technique.
Even though Chu Feng was extremely popular now and had gained many people's good impression, there was still a small group of people who were jealous of him.
Naturally, 90% of the people merely sighed and shook their heads. The path was long and going didn't mean they would get it. It was more likely that they would lose their lives there.
If people knew that Chu Feng's was an ultimate breathing technique, the entire starry sky would surely quake!
Chu Feng had already escaped to the Southern Sea. The multicolored ship was becoming more and more worn-out. And that was after the enemy stopped the indiscriminate bombardment to prevent harming Jun Tuo's descendant and Li Lin. Otherwise, the outcome would've been much worse.
The East Sea was inaccessible since the skies were covered with a dense fleet of warships and the entire sea region had been locked down. They were afraid of Chu Feng entering Mount Eternal.
The machine race had already noticed that there was a bizarre area in the Eastern Sea that could devour their saint's blood. As such, they had obstructed Chu Feng's movements and forced him into a progressively dire situation.
At this time, the earth shook violently as a large group of battleships approached once again to kill Chu Feng. The orthodox lineage of Penglai had also come into being to kill Chu Feng. This shook the entire world.
"Chu Feng is in danger!"
"Hold on, Demon King Chu!"
"Boss Chu, you must survive!"
Different people were sighing with different emotions. Within a single day, the entire world had changed rapidly and Demon King Chu had been forced to the brink of death. He'd been targeted by outer realm saints who had sent down a great army after him.
Within the folded spaces, may evolvers were restless. Some troops belonging to divine sons and saintesses also went out to chase him down!
The entire world was after Chu!
This had almost turned into a common consensus. The most powerful batch of people were all taking action to behead Chu Feng. It was akin to a landslide or tsunami which directly impacted the entire world until everyone was about to be suffocated.
The native entities were dissatisfied, but what could they do? They had no way to resist. They wanted to help Chu Feng but there was no way to do so since their difference was too great.
"The East Sea True Dragon Lair is inaccessible!"
Chu Feng frowned. The battleships had locked down the sky and were preventing him from setting foot in that area of the sea. He wanted to make use of the domains there, but he couldn't.
In the end, he escaped towards the land. He was prepared to head into a famed mountain and see if he could lay down a killing domain. He might perhaps be able to kill a portion of his pursuers.
Boom!
The was struck once again and had almost disintegrated. The ship was tattered and Chu Feng's mouth was once again filled with the smell of blood. He was injured and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, both the silver turtle and Li Lin also collapsed on the ship after receiving heavy injuries from the shockwaves.
"Grandson turtle, you sure are ruthless!" Chu Feng glanced up towards the sky and cursed loudly. This ancient saint had issued an order. The attackers could ignore his descendant.
Even the Sword Saint Duan Mu looked on silently with a dark expression. Even though he had come for Li Lin, the saints were never threatened. He had also agreed to this tacitly.
Chu Feng finally escaped onto the land and decisively alighted from the boat at Mount Huang. He knocked Li Li and the silver turtle out and locked them into the spatial bottle.
Even the dilapidated multicolored ship was shrunk down to about 30 centimeters and stowed away.
The greatest threat at the moment came from the machine race and the descendants of the Xilin race. The people from Penglai and the subordinates of the divine sons and saintesses hadn't shown up yet.
Dong dong dong dong!
Chu Feng chose a suitable place and planted the four Dragon Locking Pillars into the mountain. It wasn't suitable for the sea; the famed mountains were still the best place to set up domains.
Within moments, the aura here became completely different. The mountain peak where the fiery dates tree was growing began to flow with golden light. The earth beneath was filled with the essence flames of extreme yang.
Chu Feng hurled out magnetic stones continuously and set everything up in the area at great speed.
With the Dragon Locking Pillars as the foundation and the other domains as support, he formed a field of complicated domains.
Finally, some battleships arrived and charged directly at him. However, within moments, the battleships began to rattle and one of them crashed into the distant mountain peak.
That was because it had lost all navigational ability due to the terrifying magnetic field interference from the Dragon Locking Pillars. It soon exploded on the distant mountain.
Chu Feng hid himself and observed everything!
At this time, the dao child from outer space frowned. There was an ancient major domain on Mount Huang that had been partially activated by Chu Feng. It was interfering with the treasured mirror's probing abilities.
Presently, the mirror could no longer lock onto Chu Feng.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
Rumbles spread through the air as large patches of battleships shot through the sky. Beams of energy interweaved and shot towards the area with the domain. They wanted to carpet bomb the entire place and annihilate Chu Feng.
"Machine race, are you courting death?!" The Nine Yin Sparrow shouted from outer space, "You depend too much on scientific weapons and actually dare to ignore the earth's famed mountains?!"
As expected, a horrible outcome ensued. The machine race's fierce attacks were sufficient to destroy an entire region. According to their understanding, the entirety of Mount Huang should've been decimated.
But now, numerous domain runes had surged up, especially in the area around the domains Chu Feng had set up. Essence flames of extreme yang gushed out like a vast ocean and swept towards the sky.
"Ah…"
"miserable cries rang out as a quarter of the battleships were drowned out by the essence flames of extreme yang. The metallic vessels turned into liquid and then evaporated into gas. An entire group of them were annihilated.
Chu Feng was astonished. Even he hadn't thought the machine race would be so unrestrained and attack like this. The domains he had laid down hadn't even exerted their power when Mount Huang itself had erupted to attack them.
"Domain deduction!"
A machine race leader from one of the master ships issued such an order. They used their cutting-edge equipment to scan the area and analyze the domains.
At this moment, Chu Feng felt his hair stand on end. He quickly put away his Dragon Locking Pillars and instinctively moved away.
The machine race had prepared for many years in order to enter earth. They had also collected many domain patterns. Now they were using the help of a photon computer to accelerate this efficiency.
They couldn't break the major domains of Mount Huang, but they could still find a safe route through the currently activated zones.
Chu Feng had encountered danger once again. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" The next moment a large batch of golden metallic bodies charged towards Chu Feng in the thousands.
The battleships didn't dare enter because the domains there were too terrifying and the magnetic fields were outrageously powerful. Even if they knew the safe path, it was only relatively safe for creatures.
There were various measuring apparatus and control mechanisms on the battleship. They knew that if they were to enter that area, it would truly be lethal.
"Where can you run to?!" A machine race member shouted.
They were specialized life forms created when a miraculous ancient tree's pollen showered onto the metal. This caused them to gain sentience and evolve.
"Ha, the decline gets worse with every generation. The home planet is truly in bad shape at this point. I really don't see any hope." Close to a hundred descendants of Xilin Army appeared in the area. Most of them were protected by holy blood and only four or five of them had no bloody light on their body. This indicated that they had successfully crossed over.
Chu Feng had already questioned Li Lin and the silver turtle. He knew the situation regarding the machine race and the Xilin army.
He had no special feelings towards the former but was greatly hateful towards the latter.
The Xilin army used to be one of the most powerful armies of this planet. But they had turned traitor at the critical moment and turned to suppress their own people. Their hands had been stained with blood and, from a certain perspective, they were even more repulsive than the heavenly knights.
Pfft!
A sword intent swept over and nearly hacked his back apart. His flesh was badly mangled and even the bones were visible.
And the sword qi had barely brushed past. If he was struct directly, he would've been hacked into two.
Tens of machine race pursuers arrived before him. Some of them had black golden bodies and some of them were entirely snow white while others were a verdant green. There were different types of metal men.
Most of them used swords as weapons!
"Why don't you keep on running?" The descendants of the Xilin army approached continuously and the leader revealed a cold sneer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chu Feng activated the domains and the battleships could no longer enter. This was good news for him because he could now use his own domain techniques to destroy these people.
But he was soon overcome with distress. There were too many people here. There were at least 800 machine race members if not 1000 and they had almost arrived.
At this moment, a couple hundred of Xilin Army descendants were also gathering here.
Within moments, sword light and sword qi covered the entire place.
Boom!
Some domain regions were immediately destroyed by the attack.
Chu Feng turned and fled. There were too many people spread too far apart. It was impossible for him to draw all of them into a domain. If he dared pause for even a moment, he would die without a doubt.
Wretched cries came from behind as some machine race experts were disintegrated. Some of the Xilin Army descendants had also been crushed by the domain runes and turned into corpses.
A certain Xilin Army descendant said coldly, "You bastard. Your pureblood ancestors have all been wiped out. Do you think you can turn everything around on your own? In terms of lineage, our branch is purer than you mixed breed descendants! We have come back to the home planet this time to take away everything we left behind!"
"The Xilin Clan has returned!" A leader roared.
Xilin was originally the name of an army. But after they reached other planets, it became a clan name.
Chu Feng turned back and spat out a mouthful of bloody froth. "You lot are the mixed-breeds. You betrayed this place and now you want to return? Home planet your a*s! Back then, you acted as a puppet army and attacked our own brethren. You're even more cold-blooded than those executioners. And you have the audacity to speak of your bloodline purity. I'll annihilate your entire clan sooner or later!"
Chu Feng fled hurriedly and shot through Mount Huang.
Behind him, machine race and Xilin descendants fell continuously, obstructed by the domains. Some died while others were gravely wounded. However, there were even more of them who kept chasing after him. There were really too many people.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Over ten bloody holes appeared on Chu Feng's body. It was caused by a powerful Xilin clan expert.
"How's that? It's still the same Eastern Purple Mist Finger." A certain Xilin clan leader sneered. He was precisely the one who had crossed over successfully and pierced Chu Feng's chest with a single finger in the Eastern Sea. He was quite young and wore a cold smile at the corner of his lips. "As a good citizen and descendant of the home planet, you actually don't know this common finger art. How are you worthy of discussing the status of home planet descendant with me? Comical!"
Chu Feng staggered. He activated another series of domains and escaped once again.
He was furious. Time didn't wait for him and his time on the path of evolution was too short. He longed for a higher level of power and vowed that he would evolve madly if he survived this battle. He would search for all of the fortunes which existed on earth.
"Damned monastic robe. How unreliable!" Chu Feng still wanted to use the secret treasure to kill these enemies. If he could, it wouldn't be too great a loss even if he died. However, the cooldown was too long.
"Eh?!" Just as he was cursing, the monastic robe in his hands finally began to glow. It had once again become responsive under his activation.
He didn't dare put it on his body before because he was afraid it would be destroyed without its domains.
Chu Feng draped himself with the monastic robe and erupted with scarlet light. He was still laughing even though his back had almost been cut apart and there were several penetrating wounds on his body. He suddenly turned around.
"Xilin clan bastards, time to pay back some interest!" He roared furiously and charged over directly.
