966 Chapter 965 — return to the netherworld

Chu Feng escaped from the forbidden area along the way. He was afraid of the hunchbacked old man from the bottom of his heart. That was a spiritual gray substance that had actually transformed into human form.

He didn’t know why, but looking at the seemingly peaceful smile made him feel a chill all over his body. From head to toe, he felt a sense of dread and terror.

If he had a choice, he really didn’t want to see this hunchbacked old man.

!!

Thus, he kept quiet the entire way out of the underground world and far away from the Abyss. He didn’t stop until he was close to the Beast Plateau.

“Senior, have you seen that gray-robed old man?”

At this time, Chu Feng asked the crippled heavenly venerate. Stone Fox didn’t make a sound along the way as if he was also afraid. He didn’t say a word.

As for the Little Vermillion Bird, its bright red feathers were all puffed up. It was somewhat afraid and there was panic in its large eyes. It hadn’t yet calmed down its nervous emotions.

“I saw it. Are You Afraid?”The Stone Fox asked him.

“How can a true male God be afraid? No matter what, he can’t be scared!”Chu Feng held the Golden Spear in one hand and the sharp divine sword in the other. Divine level energy suffused the area and shook the entire wasteland!

“A dead duck is stubborn. If you were calm enough, you wouldn’t care so much. You’d be very calm,”the stone fox glanced at him and said unhurriedly.

“Don’t talk about me. What about you? You’re still running away with me. What’s the background of that hunchbacked old man?”Chu Feng increasingly wanted to know the secret of the first forbidden ground.

Crippled heavenly venerate said indifferently, “Ha, if he sees my true body, he’ll cry. He’s just an old servant!”

Stone Fox’s attitude made Chu Feng unhappy.

He also put on a casual expression and said, “Did you see his expression when he saw me? He’s smiling at me. This is the charm of personality. Look at you cry, look at me smile.”

Stone Fox was putting on an appearance of an otherworldly expert. He appeared calm and indifferent and wanted to use this contrast between crying and smiling to highlight his aloof nature.

In the end… he actually heard such shameless words. The crippled heavenly venerate’s expression immediately collapsed.

Even the Little Vermillion Bird was speechless. She tilted her head and looked at the two of them with her ruby-like eyes.

Although Chu Feng said it was easy, his heart was actually heavy. That hunchbacked old man actually revealed a smile after seeing him, making him feel extremely uneasy. Even now, his back was still emitting cold air.

He was becoming more and more apprehensive of strange substances. If there was a chance, he would definitely remove everything from his body. He became even more determined to walk the path of destruction.

One day, he would transform into a divine embryo and cut off all shortcomings to tread the path of the strongest.

However, doing so would be too cruel to the old me. It could even be said that he was too cruel to his current self. Every time he thought about it, his heart would palpitate for some unknown reason. He felt that there were some places he hadn’t thought through and his mind was restless.

“Forget it. Let’s not think too much now. Nothing in this world is absolute. I might even step onto another path,”Chu Feng muttered.

Now, he was finally leaving. He had no lingering attachment to the foreign lands. This world was filled with strange substances. Even though the Little Vermillion Bird hadn’t practiced any special techniques, she was still contaminated by this world.

In the words of the crippled heavenly venerate, this was the sorrow of all the living beings in this world. This was a world that made people despair.

“Senior, don’t you want to say more?”Chu Feng asked.

“There’s nothing to say. It Won’t be too late to understand when you can truly charge into the depths of the forbidden grounds one day.”Stone Fox shook his head. He didn’t want to say anything more as he was extremely apprehensive about the so-called first forbidden ground.

In truth, Chu Feng also knew that even a heavenly venerate would die if they were attacked by force in the face of such a forbidden ground!

This time, he was only searching at the edge of the ninth heaven and didn’t dare to go deep.

“You’re considered lucky. No one has entered the ninth heaven for countless years to fight for their lives and find a chance for a new life,”sighed stone fox.

This time, Chu Feng had obtained four talisman papers. In his opinion, this was the greatest harvest. It made the Yang Realm’s heavenly venerates and the ancestors of a sect envious.

Unless it was a special period, the ancient existences and peak experts of the Yang realm wouldn’t attack those forbidden areas under normal circumstances.

It had been too long since someone had ventured into the first forbidden area of the foreign land. In the end, the hunchbacked old man was forced to hand over the talisman papers almost completely.

According to what Stone Fox had said, these talisman papers were originally located at the core of the forbidden area!

Chu Feng immediately understood why there were so many forbidden areas in the yang-realm, but the talisman papers were still so precious.

Next, Chu Feng sat cross-legged on the wilderness and began to cut the divine cores in his hands with his sharp sword. He planned to absorb all of them before returning to the netherworld.

These things contained some strange substances and weren’t suitable to be brought back. It was best to dispose of them in this world.

Among them, there were a few divine beasts that hadn’t practiced any special techniques. Chu Feng picked them out and gave them to the Little Vermillion Bird.

“Senior, do you want to treat yourself as the Heaven Overturning Seal and Smash these divine cores into Little Vermillion Birds?”

“Go to the side!”The stone fox couldn’t contain his anger. This brat still dared to bring up this matter. What Heaven Overturning Seal? He was clearly treating it as a stone hammer!

In the end, Chu Feng continued to cut. He was absorbing all kinds of divine cores here. There were more than twenty in his hands, and among them, there were even incomplete king God cores!

This was a terrifying improvement. After he fully activated the minor six paths of time technique, the heavenly tribulation arrived not long after!

All of this was because he had absorbed too many divine particles and attracted punishment.

Fortunately, he didn’t absorb them all in one go. Every time he absorbed some, he would wait for a period of time and take a look at the sky.

On the plateau, there had been a steady stream of lightning and thunder descending, but no one dared to disturb them. Everyone already knew who was transcending the tribulation.

Now, Chu Feng had absolute strength and confidence. He didn’t even need to find a secluded place. He wasn’t afraid of threats from the outside world, and he wasn’t afraid of the divine level creatures of this world.

He could look down on the foreign lands!

One day, after he absorbed the three missing divine king nuclei, he was only one step away from stepping into the Divine King Realm!

Recently, he had evolved rapidly. Every day, there was all kinds of mucus and blood on his body. That was the result of his intense transformation. His metabolism was extremely terrifying.

Now, all of his cells had astonishing activity and contained terrifying energy.

With a slight circulation of the breathing technique, his internal organs glowed. His bones were trembling slightly, and his body was flawless. He had evolved to an extremely astonishing level.

Unfortunately, the three divine king cores were too badly damaged. If they were slightly more complete, he would be able to advance even further!

These days, the Little Vermillion Bird had also made rapid progress. It had been nourished by a few damaged divine cores and had evolved rapidly. It had finally entered the divine realm!

Chu Feng glanced sideways at the stone fox. When he asked the stone fox how to break through at the critical moment, the crippled heavenly venerate avoided answering. In the end, when the Little Vermillion Bird was faced with such a problem, it was gradually enlightened and actively guided him.

However, Chu Feng was also somewhat worried. The Little Vermillion Bird wasn’t young at all — she was already over 230 years old.

However, up until now, she was still incomparably pure. No matter how powerful she was in this state, she would suffer a great loss in the future!

“Her path is different from yours. You’re still unwilling to reincarnate, but she’s destined to reincarnate.”

The Stone Fox told him the details and didn’t hide anything.

It wanted the Little Vermillion Bird to maintain its pure heart for the time being and comprehend the divine realm. That was why it did not hesitate to personally enlighten it, help her preach the Dao, and help her comprehend it thoroughly.

That was because, under the Stone Fox’s arrangements, the Little Vermillion Bird ultimately had to start over. Its actions in this life were just accumulation!

“After you arrive in the Netherworld, you let it experience the mortal world. There will be mutual deception. In any case, the realm there is suppressed and it is unable to become a god. It can not cultivate even if it wants to. Leave it enough time to experience it.”

Back in the foreign lands, the Stone Fox felt that all the time here was precious.

Chu Feng came to a sudden understanding and didn’t say anything more. The Little Vermillion Bird now had the talisman paper and wanted to reincarnate from the Netherworld and enter the Yang-realm.

The Stone Fox had made it clear that even if she didn’t cultivate any special techniques, the strange substances in her body had already accumulated to a certain extent. It was impossible for it to help her dissolve them now.

“We’ll meet again in the yang-realm in the end. Reincarnation is a rare opportunity for many disciples of great powers. They yearn for it so much that they can start over and reinvent themselves. That’s the greatest opportunity and good fortune!”

Chu Feng comforted the Little Vermillion Bird with tears in her eyes. She was reluctant to part with him.

In the end, they set off on their journey. There was no time to waste. Chu Feng had succeeded in the foreign realm and there was no need to stay any longer.

“Remember, the Netherworld is very dangerous. You must seal yourself and never reveal any divine level energy fluctuations. Otherwise, you’ll be swallowed by the Great Abyss. You’ll die a miserable death!”

Chu Feng emphasized repeatedly, afraid that something big would happen.

He was very solemn. Even he would die a miserable death if he was careless. He didn’t want to be swallowed by the Great Abyss.

“Don’t be too worried and afraid either. Back then, you were unharmed even when the heavenly venerate decree wasn’t activated. You could appear in the Netherworld Universe.”

Heavenly venerate Taiwu’s dao body had been killed because he was too tyrannical. He dared to go near the Great Abyss and cause trouble. Even if he suppressed his realm, it wouldn’t do. He had been killed and even some of his followers had died!

Chu Feng took out the soul bell and let the Little Vermillion Bird enter. He was also prepared to stuff the stone fox inside.

“Are you sure I can go over too?”The Stone Fox didn’t believe it.

“Senior, you have to believe me. This is the first step to breaking your almighty Master’s confinement. If I can bring you into the Netherworld Universe, your chance of turning things around might come.”

In the end, the Stone Fox agreed and was also stuffed into the soul bell by Chu Feng.

Chu Feng put on an act and stuffed his physical body in as well, leaving only the soul light outside.

Afterwards, a priceless magnetic marrow appeared in his hand. He was prepared to use it to block the mouth of the soul bell and completely isolate it from the outside world.

Magnetic marrow could be considered a treasure. It was something that domain researchers yearned for the most.

Chu Feng discovered it by accident when he examined the spoils of war he had brought out from the God’s Cave.

This thing could isolate everything. Even spiritual power couldn’t penetrate it. He reckoned that even the crippled heavenly venerate’s soul light couldn’t penetrate the magnetic marrow in his current state.

Moreover, he was scaring Shi Hu, “Senior, you must be careful. After all, you were once a heavenly venerate and your master had left all sorts of restrictions in your body. You’re more dangerous than anyone else when crossing the two realms. You must be steady and use the stone embryo to protect the soul light. Even if the stone body disintegrates, it’s better to leave your spirit behind. It’s better than dying directly.”

“Little Bastard, are you sure? This old man isn’t going with you!”

In truth, heavenly venerate lame leg was very afraid of death. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so tenacious in the foreign lands. Thus, when he heard Chu Feng’s intimidation, he was immediately somewhat scared.

“It’s fine. At most, you’ll lose an arm or a leg. Half of the stone body will be damaged and most of your soul light will be preserved.”

“Get off. This old man won’t take this train and won’t go to the Yang realm with you!”

“It’s too late. We’ve already set off. Senior, it’s time for us to set off!”Chu Feng stuffed the magnetic marrow in with a clang and sealed it thoroughly. Then he shook the soul bell with all his might, causing it to shake violently.

Inside the soul bell, the Stone Fox felt its hair stand on end, but it could only stare blankly. It was very afraid of death and decisively contracted all of its spirit. It concentrated it in the core of the stone body and didn’t dare to probe any further.

Chu Feng used his soul light to shake the soul bell with all his might. He rushed to the rendezvous point with the demon ancestor’s cauldron and called out to it. He received a response.

During this process, he had long since taken out the stone box and put both himself and the soul bell inside. He began to prepare to return through this special world node.

With a buzz, the stone box crossed over and erupted with terrifying radiance along the way. It passed through the boundary membrane and smoothly returned to mount eternal.

Chu Feng returned to the Netherworld!

In an instant, the stone box dimmed and returned to its original state.

This supreme treasure was usually very ordinary. Even someone as strong as the crippled heavenly venerate hadn’t noticed it because he hadn’t sensed anything abnormal and had neglected it.

“I’m back. I’ve finally returned. I wonder how the Netherworld is now and how Earth is now!”Chu Feng clenched his fists.

After a hundred years of vicissitudes, his cultivation journey had ended and he had finally returned!
