Chapter 106: A Colossal Trouble

Moreover, this Purple-Gold Gourd truly was used to hold elixirs.

However, the experts you took in were not turned into bloody water—they were refined by the Purple-Gold Gourd into a single elixir, one that gathered the very essence of that expert's entire being.

Once consumed, one would obtain that expert's bloodline, aptitude, magical power, soul, and more.

How odd... It feels a little like the Evil Dragon Art.

And as for the Demon God's Essence Blood...

Wouldn't that be perfect for Yun Niang?

To rebuild her Ghost-God body, Yun Niang needs three treasures: Demon God's Blood, Ghost-God Flower, and Divine Beast Bone. This Demon God's Essence Blood is of an even higher grade than ordinary Demon God's Blood.

It couldn't be more fitting.

Mastering the Five Thunders, there was a supreme divine ability, ranked on the same level as Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

Yet it caused a subtle transformation in Chu Feng's physique.

The Boundless Saint Body had become the Boundless Thunder Saint Body. In particular, when engaging in dual cultivation, one certain part of him carried the power of thunder—every single collision left one tingling and numb, and wasn't that exceptionally pleasurable?

Before, he could fight five at once. Now, taking on ten would be effortless.

Seeing that Chu Feng had truly slain the Primordial Saint Son...

The entire scene erupted in uproar.

The whole Genius Battle came to an abrupt halt.

"Times are about to change."

"The Primordial Saint Son was actually killed!"

"This man has some nerve."

The Primordial Saint Son represented the future and honor of the Primordial Holy Land—and now he lay dead here.

From the void, a furious voice rang out.

"Whoever killed my Primordial Saint Son—death shall be his punishment!"

A mighty attack descended from the heavens. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, rain poured in torrents, and lightning and thunder raged through the entire void. A massive gray figure slowly materialized, and a heaven-shaking giant hand descended.

It slammed straight down toward Chu Feng.

"It's Elder Han of the Primordial Holy Land! Elder Han is a late-Mahayana Celestial—this man is doomed!"

Chu Feng gave a cold snort.

Since he had already harbored killing intent...

Having slain the Primordial Saint Son, he had long since prepared for battle.

This time, he was not only going to make a move against the Primordial Holy Land—he was going to make a move against the Jiang family as well.

To proclaim to the world—the existence of Chu Feng.

At this moment, with no Great Emperors in the world, who dared contend with him?

And yet, the entire Tianyuan World had not produced a single Great Emperor in a hundred thousand years.

Even those ancient supreme beings who had once stepped into the realm of Ascended Great Emperors, who had slashed themselves once with a Dao-slashing cut, sealing their own power in pursuit of immortality—they were merely at the cultivation of Half-Emperor, still no match for Chu Feng.

Facing the attack, Chu Feng raised his hand and slashed a sword across the void.

"You want to kill me? You're courting death!"

One sword split the gates of heaven.

The ferocious sword intent pierced through the void in an instant, tearing toward the figure in the sky.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out as a figure plummeted from the void.

Only then did the crowd see his appearance—a middle-aged man, drenched in blood, eyes tightly shut, already dead.

"Elder Han is dead... and he couldn't even withstand a single strike from his opponent."

"Just who is this Chu Feng?" Everyone was utterly shaken.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, sweeping out with an icy aura, and said with a cold laugh: "Is there anyone else who wants to kill me? Then come at me all at once. I'm in a hurry—after all, I am one of the judges for this Genius Battle, so I must be responsible to these young prodigies."

"What? He's a judge of the Genius Battle?"

Every Genius Battle judges, though invited by the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace, shared a common trait—without exception, they were all supreme powers of the past thousand years, mighty figures who shook the Eastern Wasteland, overlords of an era. In other words, he was a great power acknowledged by the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace.

Although Elder Han had been a Mahayana Celestial, he had never been qualified to receive such recognition.

...

Deep within the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace.

Two elders sat cross-legged.

They were fully aware of Chu Feng's killing intent in the Great Wilderness City.

These two were the current authority figures of the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace.

One bore the surname Mu, the other Long. No one knew their real names; everyone simply called them Elder Mu and Elder Long. Though neither was listed on the Three Great Rankings of Heaven, Earth, and Man, both had the qualifications to enter the top ten.

Jiang Yan?

A Tribulation Celestial Lord—yet still not qualified to enter the Heaven Ranking.

Elder Mu said with a bitter smile: "This Chu Feng... I should never have sent him an invitation. A perfectly good Genius Battle is about to be ruined."

Elder Long nodded: "This Chu Feng is truly lawless. He killed the Primordial Saint Son without a second thought. So-called Genius Battles are, after all, contests between the younger generation. No old monsters were present, which is why Chu Feng could kill and walk away scot-free. Once word reaches the Primordial Holy Land, they will inevitably send people. A great battle is unavoidable."

"Perhaps even we will find it hard to step in and stop it."

Elder Mu said: "The primary question before us now is whether to strip Chu Feng of his judging status."

Elder Long shook his head. "No need."

"Is this little trouble really any trouble for our Purple Mansion Immortal Palace? Besides, don't you find this Chu Feng quite interesting? Perhaps in the future he might become a strong contender for the Human Race's Great Emperor. Don't forget—a hundred thousand years have passed, and our human race has yet to produce another Great Emperor. If foreign races invade and we have no Great Emperor to sit in command, our human race will become prey for slaughter."

Elder Mu said with a face full of worry: "According to my calculations, before long, our human race will inevitably go to war with the myriad races. When that day comes, it truly may become a catastrophe for humanity."

"And so, this Genius Battle exists to cultivate more future combat power for our race."

"This Chu Feng, coming from a second-rate sect like the Great Mystery Dao Sect, has still managed to reach such heights. Beyond an extraordinary inheritance, his own natural aptitude must be nothing short of exceptional. If he can enter the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace and comprehend the legacy of the Purple Mansion Great Emperor, he will undoubtedly receive tremendous advancement."

"Yes."

Elder Long nodded: "I was thinking the very same thing."

...

Chu Feng, naturally, knew nothing of this.

At this moment, he had killed the Primordial Saint Son and killed a Mahayana Celestial of the Primordial Holy Land. He set both corpses ablaze—with the Sun Radiance Divine Fire.

Some people actually recognized it.

"Isn't that one of the Thirty-Three Great Divine Fires of the Myriad Heavens, controlled by the Jiang family?"

"How does he have it?"

"Now I remember! I know who Lord Chu Feng is!"

"Do you all recall that about half a year ago, the Jiang family dispatched over a hundred great powers to Sword Province, claiming they were going to wipe out a second-rate Dao Sect there—only for the entire force to be annihilated?"

"I've heard something of it. But I was told it was the work of the Demon Heaven Holy Land, and didn't the Demon Heaven Holy Land already admit to it?"

"Then you've been completely misled."

"In truth, the Jiang family's great powers were not destroyed by the Demon Heaven Holy Land at all—they were destroyed by Lord Chu Feng."

"If you had said this before, I truly wouldn't have believed you. But now, I do. Only Lord Chu Feng could have accomplished such a thing."

In that instant, the gaze of everyone present toward Chu Feng changed completely.

Some were filled with admiration; others with fear.

And more still looked at him as if he were a madman.
