The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 288: Harvest



Chu Feng’s punches were too ferocious. Even the Tiger Whale King, who believed his constitution and strength to be peerless, couldn’t resist the blows. One of his arms had been blown apart and had become a bloody mist.

The Tiger Whale King flew out for a couple of kilometers before crashing into a volcano, causing it to crack and eventually explode with a boom. Lava flowed out like a collapsed flood gate.

This scene was frightening. The two men were killing each other until surging lava flooded over the whole region.

"Chu Feng!"

The Tiger Whale King wore a pained expression and growled like a desperate beast. Losing an arm came as a huge blow for him.

He leaped up and away from the volcano in order to escape.

Although the Tiger Whale King was arrogant, he didn’t want to die meaninglessly. It had become clear that he couldn’t win against Chu Feng—continuing this fight would simply be looking to die.

"I came here just to kill you. You’re still trying to run away?!" Chu Feng spoke in a cold voice. His body had already moved while speaking. With a boom, he tore through the air and blocked the Tiger Whale King’s escape.

The Tiger Whale King didn’t say a word. He simply adjusted his direction, still hoping to leave this battlefield.

He wanted to stall for time. As long has his comrades arrived, they would encircle and kill Chu Feng. That should be enough to deal with him. For now, he just had to endure.

Unfortunately, he had encountered Chu Feng whose speed was much faster than him. The victor had already been decided after comparing combat power. Now with the bloody Tiger Whale King missing an arm, he was naturally much inferior.

Boom!

He suffered another attack as Chu Feng caught up to him.

Like a landslide or a tsunami, Chu Feng leapt up from behind and dived down at him—the distance between them was a few kilometers. He was almost like a deity descending to this world.

Chu Feng dived down from the air like a bolt of lightning. His fist was resplendent and surging with energy fluctuations. It could even be termed exceptionally terrifying—even the sun, moon, mountains and rivers lost their color!

At the same time, he activated this fist, causing the earth to crack apart under the pressure of this energy. The chasm was rapidly expanded, causing the flowing lava to boil and churn!

The Tiger Whale King failed to evade because as he moved east, he saw a scarlet flying knife came flying at him, aiming to pierce through him.

He could only evade the blade, subsequently hindering him and causing a delay.

Dong!

Chu Feng’s alarming fist connected. It was even more brilliant than the sun, illuminating the whole volcanic region. This was a blow at his full strength, filled with vast amounts of physical energy.

The Tiger Whale King resisted with all his might. He raised his left arm to defend, his fist erupting with a terrible blinding radiance.

Unfortunately, although this dreadful fist was enough to threaten even peerless experts and could forcefully suppress other king level entities, it was useless at this point.

Pfft!

His fist couldn’t block Chu Feng’s attack and was blasted apart.

The strength behind Chu Feng’s fist was simply too violent, almost gring apart half of his body.

Thump!

The Tiger Whale King was sent flying and crashed into an active volcano, causing it to collapse. Lava wildly gushed out and the pungent smell of sulfur pervaded the air.

He had been beaten so badly that he had lost his previous spirit and no longer possessed the confidence from a while ago. He had lost all hope after having his high spirits completely shattered under Chu Feng’s fists.

The Tiger Whale King regained his senses and cried in agony. He had lost both arms while Chu Feng was strangling him by the neck like a chicken.

"Boom!"

A strong energy fluctuation was transmitted from a distance like gigantic waves crashing against the shore. It seemed the Tiger Whale King’s reinforcements were about to arrive!

In truth, not much time had passed since the two started fighting each other. Everything happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off the flint.

That these people had already arrived in such a short amount of time meant that they were extremely powerful marine race experts with six severed shackles who had rushed over at supersonic speeds.

The Tiger Whale King saw some rays of hope. His eyes erupted with a will to live as he roared loudly, sending out silver ripples akin to tidal waves.

He was burning his life force in order to release vast amounts of blood energy, utilizing his innate sound wave arts to attack wildly even after losing both arms. All of this was for survival.

Dong! Dong! Dong...

Unfortunately, the golden bell surrounding Chu Feng’s body was indestructible. If any other king received the attack from such a close range, he would definitely receive grievous wounds and might even be torn apart.

However, this protective golden bell derived from the Xingyi Twelve True Forms allowed Chu Feng to be almost invincible at this stage.

Thump!

Chu Feng’s punch tore through the whale’s chest and caused his heart to explode.

In the end, a few figures appeared, one more ferocious than the next. Some came with their long hair dancing behind them, while others were riding on scarlet beams of light. One of them even shattered a live volcano!

The energy fluctuations they released could be felt even from far away!

The three great experts roared but their supersonic velocity was faster than their voices. Before one could hear them, they had already appeared over the horizon.

Chu Feng was very calm. He lifted the Tiger Whale King’s weak body and didn’t immediately decapitate him.

Experts at this level could only be put down completely after removing their heads.

He gazed at the distant landscape and, leaping up violently, tossed the Tiger Whale King into a volcano.

At this moment, the Tiger Whale King was too weak and reverted to his true form. He was a gigantic animal the size of a small hill. His blood-soaked body could no longer struggle and shot towards the volcano.

The volcano was extremely large and red lava was surging out from it.

"Go and take a bath, shrimp!" Chu Feng shouted.

With a boom, lava gushed out in all directions as a gigantic Tiger Whale shot head first into the volcano. This wasn’t anything like a bath—it was like being tossed into a hot pot.

The Tiger Whale King’s body was too large. Half of it entered the volcano while the remaining half was stuck outside with no strength to wave his tail. Such a scene was unprecedented.

"You dare!"

A bloodstained marine race expert with disheveled hair shouted. Chu Feng’s actions came as a great provocation to them.

Unfortunately, the opponent couldn’t hear his words as the air exploded. He charged over at a speed faster sound with a callous and sinister expression, aiming to kill Chu Feng.

"You’re courting death. Let’s kill him together!"

Another person spoke. Scarlet light surged from his pincers—this was a crab king with six severed shackles. His countenance appeared cruel and merciless.

His body was stained with blood but it wasn’t his own. The stains were left from hunting down the experts of the continent.

The third marine race expert wasn’t too far and had almost arrived.

Chu Feng was calm and collected. He only raised his hand when they were close to the area of the ghostly labyrinth. His fist then began to glow with light.

Boom!

Chu Feng’s attack was like a bolt of lightning—his explosive might was simply too terrifying. It shot right through a volcano and appeared from the other side.

At this time, the Tiger Whale King was long in a life-threatening situation. He had fallen into dire straits after having his heart shattered.

He wouldn’t have been planted headlong into the lava in the first place if he had any strength left. Thus he could do nothing against this incoming blow.

Boom!

Half of the Tiger Whale King’s body exploded along with the volcano and was killed immediately.

The lower half of his body was flushed out along with the surging lava and was immediately burnt after losing his life and protective energy. He was utterly destroyed.

Chu Feng rushed past the place and stood on the volcanic ground. His legs were like planted javelins as he stood there without moving an inch. Staring at three people who were rushing over, he flexed his index finger at them in a challenging gesture.

The three marine race experts’ eyes turned cold—this was an unpardonable provocation—Chu Feng had killed the Tiger Whale King right in front of their eyes. It was simply too excessive!

Swoosh swoosh!

The three who were planning to flank him charged directly at him instead. They wanted to destroy him immediately and were unwilling to delay even for a second.

"Eh?!"

The two people in front were astonished because the volcanoes around them spun around, forcing them to the ground and almost making them lose their sense of direction.

They had entered the ghostly labyrinth area.

The third person was shocked. As an expert with six severed shackles, his divine instincts were extremely sharp. He was able to react swiftly and come to an immediate halt the moment he saw something wrong with the two in front.

But, at this moment, Chu Feng had already rushed out. He circled around the ghostly labyrinth area and charged over!

Thump! Thump! Thump...

After exchanging several fist strikes Chu Feng was able to force him into the ghostly labyrinth. Thus, the third person also fell into the miniature domain.

Chu Feng had intentionally left the Tiger Whale King until the last moment, attracting three great experts to come to his aid. They charged at the former with reckless abandon, and as a result, all of them were trapped within the ghostly labyrinth!

Chu Feng wanted to test the might of the ghostly labyrinth and understand more about it. The best way was to do this was to trap three experts with six severed shackles inside to observe their struggle.

Now that the three experts were confused. They ran with all their might but was ultimately unable to escape.

Because this wasn’t the ghostly labyrinth normal people encounter. This was a small domain specifically targeted at evolved experts. It affected the person’s perception, divine instinct and spirit.

Within the domain, they felt that their decisions were always correct even though they were gravely mistaken and would continue to go in circles.

Chu Feng revealed an odd expression. Ancient evolved beings like the Taoist spiritual masters and golden arhats from Buddhism were indeed extremely powerful.

This was an item researched by them after all. It possessed the power to deceive the human heart.

Just how powerful would it be if it was a domain built by a Bodhisattva level evolved being?

Chu Feng wasn’t sure if the domain heavenly book he had obtained contained insights from Bodhisattva level beings.

In the distance, the Snow Leopard King was dumbfounded. He was greatly shaken to see Chu Feng who wasn’t even at his level before was now able to kill the Tiger Whale King and entrap three great experts. His growth in strength was too fast!

The Snow Leopard King approached from several kilometers away.

"How unexpected. I thought you would be drawn into a bitter and fierce battle but everything ended just like that." The Snow Leopard King sighed.

"How’s the Mastiff King?" Chu Feng asked. He thought that, as one of the great demons of Mount Kunlun, the Snow Leopard King had come along with the Mastiff King.

"I don’t know." The Snow Leopard King’s voice was solemn as he recounted everything that had happened.

The deviant race kings from both land and sea were suppressed as they ascended the mountain. However, the suppression from the lower half of the mountain disappeared after breaking a certain stone tablet.

"The marine race possessed rapacious designs and wanted to eradicate us. The Mastiff King and the others were also making plans to ensnare and kill the marine race experts. In the end, a careless mistake from our side resulted in great losses."

The Snow Leopard King’s cultivation wasn’t sufficient and thus he hadn’t gone along with the peerless experts. He didn’t know what had happened afterwards.

After all, he had no right to participate in a fight between peerless experts.

Chu Feng understood the gist of the situation. The marine race experts possessed a great killer weapon while it was possible that there were traitors from the continent.

His gaze was intimidating. It would be extremely frightening if there was a defecting peerless expert. Everything would collapse if the traitor switched sides just as the battle began.

"Chu Feng, you worthless scum. Come fight me fairly if you dare. I’ll kill you with one hand!" A string of curses was transmitted from within the ghostly labyrinth.

Chu Feng was calm in the face of such provocation. He picked up the Tiger Whale King’s black spear and threw it.

Pfft!

Blood splashed out in all directions. The spear emitting a dark radiance pierced through that marine race expert’s heart and pinned him tightly to the ground!

"You’re just one of the many marine race experts I’m about to harvest."
