Chapter 458: Unrivalled Under the Starry Skies
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
From the eastern hemisphere to the west, from the Northern Sea to the South, entities everywhere were shaken. That was because the mandate reverberated through every corner of the world. The voice was somewhat young and tender, but it was cold and tyrannical.
“Has Chu Feng provoked yet another calamity?” Old Man Lu Tong who’d extricated himself from Hollow Jade Temple looked up at the sky. His face was full of worry because he knew the problem this time was quite big.
Within the folded spaces of the famed mountains and upon the star passages, the life forms from various star systems were all shaken. They had long since felt something like this might happen, but they didn’t expect it to really occur.
“This isn’t just a quasi-saint Nine Yin Sparrow, but a real ancient saint with terrifying strength. Although Jun Tuo has been dormant since that ancient battle, his name still rings across the starry skies!”
A saint child who understood the details sighed emotionally, his heart thoroughly shaken. Before this, he had received reports from other descenders that Jun Tuo would arrive!
“Brother Chu Feng is facing a great calamity. This time, its a real saint attacking. What can we do? How will he get through this crisis?!” Within the Tibetan region, the shiny bald-head Horse King said with a frown, his face full of worry.
The old llama, the Mastiff King, and the other Kunlun demons were all present and all of them were frowning.
They had found out from a certain descender that the last time it was only the quasi-sage Nine Yin Sparrow how had wanted to kill Chu Feng. But this time, it was a true ancient saint. The two couldn’t be compared at all.
Additionally, this Jun Tuo was too tyrannical. He had come outside of earth and decreed that Chu Feng must die. He didn’t just order others to do so!
At this level, their abilities were exceedingly high. Even if he couldn’t enter the earth, it wasn’t too difficult if he wanted to kill a person therein. This made the group uneasy; they were worried Chu Feng would die.
“Fortunately, our final choice of not approaching the native heaven’s chosen was right. This man is bound to die early!” A certain expert from the North Pole Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave spoke.
Some of the experts there had severed their own cultivation to enter this world. After cultivating for 22 years, now they were gradually recovering.
Princess Lin and the others sighed lightly after hearing this. This time a true saint had arrived. How would Chu Feng get through this tribulation?
“Heh heh… haha!” In the depths of Mount Lao, the Great Qi Prince had reappeared. He was impressive looking but there was a biting cold in the depths of his eyes, suffused with killing intent.
As a genius of an imperial dynasty, Qi Yu’s origins were high. Last time, all his troops had been wiped out and thus felt great enmity towards Chu Feng and Lin Naoi.
“How unfortunate! I really wanted to take action personally but I guess I won’t have that pleasure.” He was quite regretful that he still couldn’t walk out of the folded space!
“My ancestor has also come.” Within Mount Lu, the Hundred Transformations Saint Child, Yuwen Feng, frowned. He had suffered greatly in Chu Feng’s hands and had yet to personally slaughter the native. Hence, his prestige had plummeted lately.
He was somewhat worried about how his race’s saint would think of him? Their race’s population wasn’t small at all and many others were eyeing his saint child position. They weren’t on the verge of extinction like Jun Tuo’s family.
Every place around the world was restless. Even ordinary people had heard the mandate and were deeply shaken.
On Mount Putuo, Jiang Luoshen was calling Chu Feng’s communicator. But one call after another, unfortunately, she was unable to get through.
No one could find Chu Feng at this juncture because he hadn’t left the region of Mount Eternal. There were powerful magnetic interference and mysterious domains in the area that even a heaven’s eye wouldn’t be able to see through.
A blazing beam of light shot out from outer space as if a bolt of lightning had blossomed. That was one of the dao children utilizing a secret technique. He was holding onto a treasured mirror and reflecting it upon earth.
Chu Feng’s appearance had already been outlined upon the surface. It was investigating Chu Feng’s movements and searching for him.
“Eh?!”
The dao child frowned and his pair of aged eyes became profound. He couldn’t find Chu Feng all along and the mirror was unresponsive.
According to reason, the person in question would have nowhere to hide the moment this treasured mirror appeared. It would immediately sense where he was.
“Could it be that he has a great treasure on his body capable of resisting this treasured mirror’s probing?!” He revealed a suspicious expression.
Chu Feng entered the sea after leaving Mount Eternal. The mist here was very thick and difficult to search from the outside world.
He took out the multicolored boat and placed it on the sea surface, whereupon it expanded into a gigantic vessel. At this moment, he shook saintess Li Lin awake and said, “Drive!”
After Li Lin woke up, she couldn’t resist erupting in fury despite her strong willpower and tenacity—she wanted to fight it out with him. She had been knocked out time and again. Not to mention a saintess, even a servant girl wouldn’t be so miserable.
“It was due to an urgent matter this time. It won’t happen again. I’ll delete half of your photo book during this period,” said Chu Feng, bringing up the non-existent photo book. It was quite useful.
Li Lin curbed her emotions. As the most powerful successor of a planet, her ability for self-control was extremely powerful.
Especially after looking below the jade table, her stifled mood became somewhat more relaxed.
The table was missing a leg and now there was a silver turtle pressed underneath it to fill in the gap and support the table.
Li Lin was dumbfounded. This was too improper for an outer realm genius. That was the silver divine son’s brother and yet he was actually being used as a support for the table.
“Silver turtle, you better behave. I want to read but the table isn’t stable. If you dare move about again, I’ll detonate all the magnetic needles in your body,” Chu Feng threatened.
At this time, the silver turtle was trembling and felt especially stifled. It was a stately brother of a divine son. Its eyes revealed deep killing intent and he was poised to fight it out.
Chu Feng shot a glance at it and said, “You brought all of this on yourself. If you didn’t want to cut off my head, how could all of this happen? If you want to kill me then you have to realize that you might be captured. You should be happy that you’re even alive. The others are all dead!”
“A native of a savage planet. Descendant of a failed race!” The silver turtle cried out in his heart. It was incomparably furious but didn’t dare flip out.
It still didn’t know that it was Jun Tuo’s descendant. If he did, his momentum wouldn’t be the same.
Chu Feng viewed the turtle in a different light and had decided to save it as food. This was purely because it was a spiritual turtle and would serve as a powerful nourishment.
In the end, they gradually left the sea region. Looking back, Mount Eternal had already disappeared.
the peerless secret land used to nurture demonic sages. It could change locations at will; only those with stones from the island could sense and eventually find it.
“I’ve found him. He’s in the sea!” At this time, the dao child stood holding the treasured mirror beside the chariot in outer space. He revealed a joyous expression as he reported to Saint Jun Tuo.
At this time, someone else came from the outer region. It was a black-faced and burly man with a sword on his back. He trampled through the starry skies and rushed over from the border of the solar system.
It was extremely terrifying whenever took a step forward and even the stars in the vicinity would tremble. This was doubtlessly a saint. He revealed his true countenance and wasn’t enshrouded in primal chaos.
“Greetings Sir Duanmu!” The Nine Yin Sparrow spoke. Although he was a quasi-sage, his identity was nothing impressive here. He would normally have to lower his head before the three true saints, to speak nothing of his current crippled state.
“Mn!” Duanmu nodded.
With three saints here, outer space was suffused with saintly qi. The entire area was different and runes had even begun to emerge on the earth. Certain domains were waking up.
At this time, there was a stable wormhole at the border of the solar system. There was not only a celestial vine but also a void lotus coming into being. It was swaying with a gentle glow and oscillating with biological signals.
This was the interstellar network’s strength increasing its coverage and strength.
At the same time, a star tree had flown over to earth from not very far away and taken root in the void. It wasn’t very tall, but it was glowing brilliantly and emitting biological and electromagnetic signals. It was strengthening the interstellar network.
In the starry skies, many people were paying attention to earth. So much so that there was no shortage of saints. As such the interstellar network had now encompassed the entire solar system.
One could make out something from the reactions of the three saints, Jun Tuo, Yuwen Chengkong and Duan Mu. They didn’t try to stop this at all—it was apparent that the interstellar network’s origins were unfathomable.
Otherwise, if ordinary people dared spy on them, they would’ve been destroyed with the flick of a finger.
In the depths of the starry skies, many vital stars received the news.
“Extra, extra! Saints have taken action, igniting the starry skies and shaking the ocean of stars. Exclusive report going live now!”
“There’s a live broadcast on the origin beast platform. Three saints have arrived at the wasteland in person to kill a native. Don’t miss this!”
Not to mention other things, just the fact that a saint was taking action would shake the entire starry skies. Such characters were like true dragons amidst the primal chaos—it was difficult for ordinary people to even see them, to speak nothing of watching them fight.
Within moments, various star systems were boiling over!
“The star system where the three saints have arrived isn’t an ordinary place. Many eons ago, that place was ranked 11th in the entire cosmos. It was so brilliant that it could be compared to the top-ten great planets!”
The commentator from the origin beast platform sighed emotionally, but he soon stopped speaking. That was because he was warned not to continue talking about this matter unless he wanted to die.
Many people knew about this matter but none would dare speak of it in public.
Those who understood the details of this matter hissed after hearing the broadcaster’s words.
This was only a small interlude and didn’t count for much. People were now anticipating even more—just what kind of waves would they bring about after descending this time?
Additionally, many young people from various star systems had stepped onto the star passages and were hurrying over to that place. It would surely be quite brilliant at this time and many things must’ve happened.
At this time, regardless of whether they were top experts from the older generation or young men in their prime, all of them had received this news and were moved. They immediately connected to the interstellar network to watch the live broadcast.
Very soon, people realized that Jun Tuo was going to kill a native. This immediately caused huge waves. Someone with such an identity was actually acting like this for his descendant?!
“Jun Tuo is being protective of his kin because he’s afraid his bloodline will end. This is a display to warn everyone not to harm his descendants.”
“This old man is tyrannical and powerful. Back then, he kicked up a tempest of blood on that planet. This time, it’s likely that he has other intentions. He might be trying to draw out some of the surviving members.”
“Oh, I also heard about this. Last time, the Nine Yin Sparrow went and caused quite a ruckus because someone was supporting him from the back. Could that be Jun Tuo? Maybe he was probing back then and now he’s really going to attack?”
In the depths of the starry skies, even demonic sages and golden bodhisattvas were paying attention!
Very soon, the name of this native Chu Feng had spread to the starry skies. He hadn’t even walked out of the solar system, was already known by others.
In a different sense, this was also a “one’s name shaking the starry skies”.
“I heard a lot of divine sons and saintesses have set out to this planet. I really want to see how they’re faring. I wonder if they have made a meteoric rise there.”
Some young people were paying even more attention. Their eyes were burning and they wanted to understand the recent situation of the saint level characters.
“Could they have suffered some kind of setback and suppressed by a native? Otherwise, why would another two saints apart from Jun Tuo arrive personally?!”
Some youths discussed the matter with sparkling eyes. They would feel even more delighted after hearing of fairies and divine sons taking a loss. This could be considered a type of inferiority complex.
As such, many people were eagerly awaiting the battle.
“Wah, so those are the three saints! I see them covered in primal chaos. So terrifying!”
“We can see the sword saint Duan Mu’s true appearance!”
…
Within an instant, the entire sea of stars was boiling over. That was because many people were pouring into the origin beast platform to view the live broadcast.
In outer space, that dao child was holding onto the treasured mirror in one hand and a saint talisman in another. It was overflowing with brilliance and one could know it was a peerless treasure at a glance.
The announcer from the origin beast platform was a person of broad knowledge. Otherwise, how could he explain such a major incident as the saints’ attacks? He directly drew in a breath of cold air after seeing that saint talisman.
“This is a treasure irrigated with saint blood. Naturally, it isn’t Saint Jun Tuo’s own blood, but that of the enemies he had killed in the past. After inserting this talisman into earth, he, himself, won’t be stained by karma or suffer any retaliation from the planet!”
As expected, that dao child made his move. He shot out the talisman in his hand and caused it to fly straight into the earth’s atmosphere. It then hacked towards a certain sea region on the planet!
Boom!
The heaven and earth split apart. The earth sensed it and directly moved to stop the attack with countless runes.
At this moment, even the starry skies were trembling. That saint talisman was too powerful and so were the domains on earth. An intense clash ensued.
Boom!
In the end, dazzling flames erupted like lightning from the nine heavens as countless beams of light fell towards the Eastern Sea. It was exceptionally blinding.
At the same time, the star tree outside of earth began to glow as the interstellar network covered the Eastern Sea, capturing everything there with great clarity. All the outer realm beings finally saw what Chu Feng looked like!
Chu Feng had just left Mount Eternal and was sitting relaxedly on a rocking chair. He had Li Lin drive the ship and was prepared to return to the continent. He wanted to visit the sacrificial altar on Mount Tai.
It was at this time that the sky was filled with burning radiance and a dancing streak of lightning fell towards them. This immediately made his hair stand on end!
“I’m being struck by lightning?!” He suddenly stood up and got ready to defend.
He had made triumphant progress since the day he unlocked the Fiery Eyes, capturing a saintess and causing the saint children from the star passages to take great losses. He had always worried if he would be struck by lightning one day.
Boom boom boom boom…
Sparks danced and lightning flashed, but they were all dispersed above the ship and didn’t actually descend.
Earth’s domains had taken effect and obliterated them.
Chu Feng was entranced.
It was at this moment after leaving the Mount Eternal area that his communicator started receiving information. It began to ring continuously.
Chu Feng checked it and immediately felt cold from head to toe. He understood the outside situation—a saint had arrived personally to kill him!
He quickly looked up. So, the attack just now was caused by a saint?!
Chu Feng felt his blood run cold and his hair stand on end. A saint had made a move against him personally. This was quite the flattery!
But his eyes brightened up quickly. What was there to fear? At most he would die. There was no use lowering his head at this moment. Since the saints have come, they wouldn’t change their minds no matter what.
At the thought of this, Chu Feng looked up and pointed at the sky. “Which old turtle is sneak attacking me?!”
The starry skies became silent for the moment.
The three saints, the Nine Yin Sparrow and the two dao children were all silent.
Even those who were watching the live broadcast on the origin beast platform were momentarily speechless.
The announcer was dumbfounded and didn’t dare comment on the situation. He didn’t know what to say!
That was because Jun Tuo’s true form was a galactic turtle. This was truly…
But the spectators on the origin beast platform soon broke out in a commotion. Although they revered the saints, what did they have to fear when they were separated by an entire interstellar network?
Some men couldn’t stop laughing and the ladies giggled charmingly.
Doubtlessly, people already remembered Chu Feng’s name even though he hadn’t stepped out of the earth.
Outside of earth.
“Let me try!”
At this time, the Hundred Transformations Saint Yuwen Chengkong spoke. He didn’t let the dao child take action and was planning to launch an attack personally.
During this process, the ancient saint Jun Tuo was sitting quietly on the on the chariot and hadn’t moved at all. He had no intention to attack personally.
Yuwen Chengkong’s finger split open and out rolled a drop of tri-colored blood. IT was incomparably divine and overflowing with auspicious qi. It transformed into a sword which flew into the earth’s atmosphere and downwards!
Only at this point did the commentator from the origin beast platform dare speak.
“Even if the planet is extraordinary and as domains protecting it, it’s still possible for a saint to kill a person as long as he doesn’t cause widespread destruction. It’s impossible for that native to contend with a saint and live.”
The experts who had been invited by the origin beast platform were also expressing their opinion. These people were quite famous and easily qualified to evaluate a battle between saints!
“Everyone, please look carefully. That young man will die no matter what. Once saint blood emerges, the victim will definitely fall.”
“Hence, we should live in reverence. No matter the place, a sage’s prestige musn’t be violated. Once we commit blasphemy, we might be killed even if we’re separated by nine heavens and ten worlds!”
The experts commented in succession.
At the same time, some elders from certain evolver sects and noble families were lecturing their descendants.
“Remember, you musn’t provoke a saint no matter what. This kind of existence is unfathomable. Before you arrive at that realm, you must be reverent and prostate with great sincerity if you meet them!”
For a moment, many youths in the depths of the starry skies were listening to their elders’ lectures. Their reverence towards the saints was even deeper now.
“How unfortunate. This heaven’s chosen will die without a doubt. Originally, he could be considered quite good. The tragedy lay in that he had no idea how frightening saints were. He refuses to look up to them.”
Some guest experts were discussing this matter on the origin beast platform while waiting for Chu Feng to die.
However, things turned out differently from what people expected. The drop of blood tore through the skies over the Eastern Sea but was blocked by the domains. It was absorbed by the emerging Mount Eternal which sucked up the energy like a desert as the sweet rain falls upon it.
One had to know that the firmament was close to being ripped apart and the air was trembling. This was a terrifying saint sword formed of blood poised to annihilate the earth and sky. It was about to shatter the entire region.
However, it was sized and gobbled up by Mount Eternal!
Chu Feng felt uneasy just now and his scalp went numb. He knew he had encountered a mortal calamity. He had already prepared himself for the worst, but the pressure suddenly dissipated.
In the depths of the starry sky, the origin beast platform was once again silent.
The commentator as well as the other invited experts were all flabbergasted and couldn’t speak a single word.
While they had stopped expressing their views, back on earth, Chu Feng had risen into the sky and was gazing at the outer space from above the multicolored ship.
He could even resolve attacks from saints and was thus full of confidence. What would change even if he were reverent? He would still be targeted. It was better to be more gangster than not.
Hence, he looked disdainfully at the sky in a profound manner and said, “Who can harm me? I am peerless under the starry skies!”
