Chapter 621: Number One in the Cosmos

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Night Demon was miserable after being cut by Chu Feng and trampled by the big green ox. It was unknown how many of his bones had been broken, and his eyes were rolled back as though he were about to lose consciousness.

“Speak!” Chu Feng looked down at him calmly.

As far as the expert was concerned, he couldn’t gather his memories very well. If the difference in consciousness powers were too different, this could result in both trouble and danger.

Night Demon felt grief and indignation. Ever since he had come to Earth, it had always been him showing contempt for his enemies. He looked down on all this planet’s natives. He had never experienced this before, and now it left him ashamed, resentful, and endlessly furious.

However, people have no choice but to bow their heads beneath the eaves. If he dared to continue being so unyielding now, that big green ox on top of him would most likely trample him into minced meat.

“When I came here, those nobodies...” He felt his chest cave in upon reaching this point in his statement. One of the ox’s hooves came down and nearly penetrated his chest, causing his mouth to fill up with foamy blood. His body had suffered a serious injury once more.

“When I arrived, the people were gone and the place was deserted,” he changed his statement quickly, feeling incomparably sullen.

At the same time, he further explained that he wasn’t the first to occupy Mount Longhu. He had taken it over from his sworn brother, Wan Jiansheng.

“Who is Wan Jiansheng? What’s his origin?” asked Chu Feng.

Night Demon was stunned, yet he cursed inwardly at the same time. This damned native didn’t even know who Wan Jiansheng was! He really didn’t pay attention to the heavens’ major events.

Chu Feng knew at a glance that he didn’t have anything good to say. Since he didn’t say anything further right away, he urged the big green ox underneath him to lower its huge hoof and directly stomp his mouth. Spurts of blood immediately gushed from his mouth.

Night Demon cried out incessantly in both sadness and anger. He had never seen someone with such an explosive temperament! He had always been the one to attack those he saw unfavorably at will, yet today he encountered someone even more ruthless. He was monumentally unlucky.

“Ow...”

Then he was in so much pain that he transformed into his true form, which was a large, black cat. His whole body was bright black and covered in glossy fur without a hair out of place. He was as big as a water buffalo.

At the same time, his body carried the aura of the underworld.

“Too bad the cat is male, otherwise, I’d give it to brother Tiger. He would definitely like it. I’ll ask him if he wants it later,” said Chu Feng to himself.

Night Demon’s hair burst out in anger. What kind of speech was this!? It hastily shouted, “I’m the underworld cat, an entirely different species from the tiger!”

“You look pretty similar.” Chu Feng didn’t care.

“Similar!” The underworld cat was getting angry at him. It sounded like Chu Feng was going to give him to a male tiger. This... his hair stood up upon experiencing first-hand the intense tastes among them. It was too terrifying.

Now, Chu Feng had already calmed down, and he didn’t feel so concerned anymore. He guessed that the Black Yak, Yellow Ox, and the others had lead his parents in a timely retreat, and they hadn’t been harmed.

The underworld cat informed him that Wan Jiansheng’s power surpassed all races’ experts. He was nineteenth in the newest ranking of the universe’s youth and was a profound mystery.

Those in the top twenty experts could show disdain for people of the same generation. They had immense potential, and even the most exceptional people in the cosmos would treat them favorably.

In reality, whenever there was a distinguished meeting or the like, this type of young person would be given deferential treatment even when they appeared alongside some elders. This was because they were destined to become the future overlords of the cosmos.

“Is the nineteenth place really strong? No matter. He’s courting death to since he dares rush into Mount Longhu!”

Next, Chu Feng used his consciousness and coded a language to inquire about whether or not Wan Jiansheng had encountered Yellow Ox and the others as well as whether or not he had slaughtered them.

The underworld cat Night Demon was indefinitely bewildered. He also used his consciousness and coded language to answer. However, great waves rose up in his heart. Who was this person? He paid special attention to Chu Feng and his friends. It wasn’t done making discreet inquiries since this person’s identity was simply too suspicious.

“I asked you a question. Did you hear me?” Chu Feng watched the cat intently.

“After the great battle that day between the Demon King Chu and Fairy Qin concluded, the people at Mount Eternal used ten corrupt ships and let loose a massacre. After that, they decisively retreated and left with all the people at Mount Longhu.”

Night Demon’s answer did not surpass Chu Feng’s expectations. He felt thoroughly reassured.

Wan Jiansheng wanted to kill the people at Mount Eternal, including Yellow Ox and the old Black Yak, after he descended to Earth, but he eventually failed. In the end, he occupied Mount Longhu and had gone out to sea several times searching for traces of those people.

“Does Wan Jiansheng hate Chu Feng? Why is he so devoted to finding and killing his family?” Chu Feng frowned. This rank nineteen youth expert had reached his bottom line.

Even if nothing had happened to his parents, his murderous feelings were still rolling.

“He wants Chu Feng’s breathing technique. He wants to capture his parents and use them to investigate,” answered the underworld cat. He was very honest now and would answer any questions.

“He’s courting death!” said Chu Feng in a cold voice.

Now, the underworld cat felt scared. The two of them had been using the coded language of their consciousness to reply and let him find clues. This person’s identity was truly suspicious!

“I hear you also have an even stronger sworn brother with the Innocuous Divine Physique? He’s known to be unrivaled throughout the world,” asked Chu Feng.

Night Demon nodded and said, “Yes, I have one. He’s from a lesser-known habitable planet in the Aimu galaxy. For such an Innocuous Divine Physique to emerge from such a desolate wasteland is quite shocking.”

Chu Feng was very vigilant regarding the Innocuous Divine Physique. It was reported that only a few of this type of physique had appeared since ancient times, and its power was excessive. There was one on Earth, so how was it that another also appeared in that so-called Aimu galaxy?

He was a bit skeptical. Was it the same person!?

This was because Chu Feng had a similar thought. He wanted to pass himself off as an extraterrestrial creature to infiltrate them like a burglar crying theft. He wanted to break away from his current troubles and use an extraterrestrial identity to attack.

He suspected that the Earth’s True One, Zhou Shang, might also have such a thought and was taking action.

“Where is the Innocuous Divine Physique? Where did you guys get to know it?”

“Now, he should be investigating the remnants at the famed mountains. We met on Earth and got on quite agreeably.”

Chu Feng became increasingly skeptical. Could this Innocuous Divine Physique truly be the Earth’s True One? To his surprise, he happened to hold the same view. They could both use this kind of method to obtain a safe identity.

Chu Feng’s murderous intent was now soaring because according to what the underworld cat said, the Innocuous Divine Physique owner informed Night Demon, Wan Jiansheng, and the others about Chu Feng’s exceptional breathing technique. He had said that it warranted investigation and might be the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique, which was immensely influential.

Chu Feng’s gaze went icy after he heard this. He became increasingly skeptical that the so-called Innocuous Divine Physique was the Earth’s True One, Zhou Shang. If it was him, then he should seriously kill him!

He didn’t object to his opponent impersonating an alien since this also matched with his style of being unwilling to make enemies with outer-realm beings. However, that this person would turn around and deal with his parents as well as kill Yellow Ox, Black Yak, and the others was inexcusable!

It didn’t matter that the Earth’s True One didn’t deal with the outer-realm beings, but targeting evolvers of the same planet like this was somewhat repulsive and deserving of punishment.

However, now he was still having doubts and couldn’t be sure. He needed proof.

“What is the Innocuous Divine Physique’s name?” asked Chu Feng.

“Li Qingfeng,” answered Night Demon.

Chu Feng knitted his brows and asked, “For the moment, I can’t find the Innocuous Divine Physique. So where’s Wan Jiansheng!?”

“He attacked Mount Zhongnan and is overseeing the area,” answered the underworld cat.

Chu Feng’s gaze was cold and indistinct. This group of outer-realm evolvers were really quite strong. This Wan Jiansheng occupied Mount Longhu and then went on to attack Mount Zhongnan. What did he want to do?

“He’s ranked number nineteen among the universe’s youths. Even though he didn’t come to Earth, he must have countless orthodoxies willing to raise him and give him sufficient evolutionary resources seeing as he has such unique skills and accomplishments. What did he come to Earth looking for?”

The underworld cat hesitated before saying, “He’s indeed searching for something, but I don’t know what. However, there are many valuables on Earth. After all, it was once extremely splendid and lusted after by the Ten Greats. Naturally Wan Jiansheng would be stirred.”

“Oh right, the Innocuous Divine Physique and Wan Jiansheng both want the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique. Is it so out of the ordinary? No matter how strong it is, it can’t be better than the Ten Greats’ breathing technique, right?”

“I don’t know about previously, but lately, there’s been some secret news spreading. Apparently, the Yang energy of the broken universe in the primordial chaos is too vigorous. It’s unknown why, but the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique is more suitable for that place. Some taboo big-shots always wanted to explore the broken universe This type of technique...”

There was no need to speak further since Chu Feng already knew what was going on.

At the same time, his felt shaken. Could it be the Red Spider Lily was correct in saying that this universe was all ruins, that it was a vast netherworld, and that all the people were spirits of the dead?

Correspondingly, was there an unimaginable world of the living? Was there a true secular world!?

The broken universe in the primordial chaos should be between the netherworld and the human world. It was an interim realm. Even though it was such, the Yang energy was already incomparably strong and made the people of this universe feel unwell.

Chu Feng felt that after living for so many years, his worldview was crumbling. Was he a ghost and not a real person? This... damn it all!

Next, Chu Feng gathered himself in Mount Longhu and personally entered the secret realm to carefully search. This place was very important, but after a long while, he didn’t find anything too shocking. Mount Longhu’s underground palace and capital hadn’t come into being yet.

“To Mount Zhongnan!” Chu Feng’s murderous feelings were surging. For the moment, he couldn’t find the Innocuous Divine Physique owner, so he wanted to go attack Wan Jiansheng.

Then he sat on the underworld cat, using it as a mount.

Night Demon cursed inwardly but was forced to keep its anger to itself. It was an expert ranked in the top hundred and could look disdainfully on an entire galaxy. It was known as an exceptional talent, yet now it was unexpectedly reduced to a mount!?”

“Turn into an ox. I don’t like sitting on a cat!” This was Chu Feng’s request.

Night Demon cursed. “I @#$%^&...”

“Meow!” His entire body of black fur was bright as silk, yet now all of its hair was standing up in intense anger.

“What are you calling for? Quickly! Change into an ox!” chided Chu Feng.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” Night Demon meowed, wanting to fight Chu Feng as if its life depended on it. However, it was slapped and seeing stars. After blood flowed from its mouth and nose, it was well-behaved once more and said dejectedly, “I really can’t transform like that. At most, I can be like a black tiger.”

Chu Feng had a look of displeasure and made his transform into a black tiger. He then sat on his back and hurried toward Mount Zhongshan.

The underworld cat felt so angry looking at that expression that he wanted to take Chu Feng down with him. However, after thinking it over, even if he died ten or eight times, his opponent would still be in good health. In the end, he could only lower his head again.

“Meow!”

He let out a meow and stepped across the sky. He began to ran faster than several times the speed of sound like the mythological black tiger. Both strong winds and thunder followed it, creating a terrifying scene. The black light surrounding it was torrential, and the lightning beams weaved together astonishingly.

Jiang Luoshen had come and was just in time to witness this scene. She saw a person wearing a bronze mask riding on a big cat pass by and felt instantly bewildered.

“That looks a bit like Chu Feng...” She felt shaken. The two of them had shared the same bed in Mount Putuo, and although nothing had happened, their relationship was still quite close. Naturally, she had a deep impression and was very familiar with Chu Feng.

Night Demon roared the whole journey. His black body was like lightning as he sprinted a long distance and crossed the void. All along the way, the sounds of the atmosphere exploding lingered on people’s ears as they crossed the heavens.

Cats were originally psychic and could easily contact the spirits of the dead, and the more powerful among them could swallow souls. However, Night Demon was an underworld cat born near a graveyard, so he possessed a great killing technique that allowed him to swallow people’s consciousness.

Had he encountered someone other than Chu Feng, who possessed a reincarnation symbol that could specifically control his consciousness-swallowing technique, then they would likely die miserably.

Mount Zhongshan boomed with a thunderclap as Chu Feng treated the civet as a seal that overturned the heavens. He exhausted his strength to lift it by its tail and throw it into mountain.

Boom!

Rubble crashed and filled the sky in a terrifying scene, and the endless vegetation was destroyed in the explosion.

The underworld cat, who was nearly angered to death, let out a meowing sound filled with resentment and wrath. He had carried this mysterious person all the way to Mount Longhu without any credit for his toil, yet in the end, he was treated like a brick and smashed into Mount Zhongshan. It was absurd!

“Get out here, Wan Jiansheng!”

Yet this exceptional talent who was ranked number nineteen in the universe was not here, and thus Chu Feng had nothing to show for his troubles. According to some accounts, he had gone to visit a friend and explore some ruins together.

Chu Feng’s face was dark and indefinite. In the end, he had no choice but to leave. He decided to go to Mount Eternal and join Yellow Ox, Black Yak, and the others so that they could tell his parents that he hadn’t died.

“Come over, Night Demon!”

The underworld cat was all kinds of unwilling. His body was covered in injuries, and his bones had broken been in half. One could say his injuries had injuries.

However, he still slowly hobbled over. Next, Chu Feng would request him to be his mount again. The cat felt incomparable indignation.

Finally, he carried Chu Feng toward the East China Sea.

The underworld cat wanted to curse him to hell and back. He was truly despicable! He felt so unlucky to have met the previous devil incarnate. He had no way out.

“Hey, I should visit the Dragoness when I get to the East China Sea, but I can’t expose my identity. There are a lot of other people I need to see. Oh right, what has the Dameng Pure Land been doing after Qin Luoyin returned? Do they want revenge? Do they want to capture my parents and the others too?”

Chu Feng’s imagination ran wild all along the journey. He simply hadn’t imagined that Qin Luoyin would get pregnant because this wasn’t “scientific”. It didn’t adhere to the rules of evolution! Goddess-level people simply couldn’t tolerate this kind of event happening. Even if it was possible, it would refine in germination.

He had already entered the East China Sea. The underworld cat ran along wildly on the sea’s surface. It had been trained well.

While Chu Feng’s imagination was running wild and thinking he couldn’t have descendents at the present stage, the true situation would leave people speechless. He would surely be dumbstruck if he found out.

Some place in the heavens.

A young Daoist priest felt incomparable indignation as he cried out, “She’s here again. This woman thinks about killing me from day until night. Deceitful god! How can I be so unlucky as to encounter this kind of woman?”

Next, he cried out in bewilderment, “Goddamnit! This is forcing me into a life or death confrontation! This damned battle started when I was in the womb. Is this tragedy, or the heavens bestowing upon me a great task? Immeasurably respected grandfather, it’s all like this. If my skills in battle cannot become the first in the heavens, then there is no natural order to things! I was already fighting with my mother in the womb. I fought until it was pitch-black. Who can reach such an accomplishment? That I am alive is a miracle. I am destined to be number one in the universe, so who can compare with me? Damn, but... I still want to cry! Neither my grandfather nor my uncle loved me! Where the hell is my father of this generation? You take no responsibility. Come and save me now!”
