The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 370: Too Big to Stew in One Pot

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

At a distance behind him was a group of cameramen, but all of them dropped their equipment and ran after hearing the toad’s cry. Its words shocked them out of their wits.

Even the evolved beings from around the world at the base of the mountain were apprehensive. Not only that Chu Feng, but his mount was also mad!

"Retreat, pull back a sufficient distance!" someone roared. That was because they felt that the pair on the mountain was too troublesome—with such unbridled and tyrannical behavior, they would surely provoke the bird king’s wrath.

This was simply too bold. He had gone up to their doors shouting "little bird come and die". Not to mention a roc, even a spiritual sparrow would want to fight it out with him.

The group of people ran away in a panic but didn’t leave completely. They chose to stay on a distant mountain peak and watch from a safe distance.

They were all extraordinary kings from their respective organizations. They only came here to see just how powerful this supposedly peerless extraterrestrial was.

However, the mountain was completely quiet and no movement was detected. Many people felt astonished—the challenged had been issued, so why hadn’t the Roc King appeared?

The group originally wanted to follow along and film the process but they were frightened out of their wits and ran away. They glanced at each other and felt that it was unbelievable. Someone was bold enough to run back. He hung a video recorder on the tree and began to escape frantically.

In any case, they had tried their best. It was up to the machine to record the footage on its own now.

"How odd. Why has that giant bird no appeared?" The toad was puzzled. It suspected that the roc might not be on the mountain and was perhaps out hunting.

"Hey, dumb bird! Your grandpa is here. Come out quickly and greet us on your knees!" The toad shouted arrogantly as if it was a peerless expert.

The people in the distance was dumbfounded. What arrogance!

At this time, the north pole group from the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave had also arrived. Someone sneered, "He’s really courting death. I guarantee he’ll be swatted to death with a single slap!"

However, as if in response to his words, the toad continued to hop about and issue challenges with spittle flying all over the place. But even then, no one came out.

The face of the man from the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave who had just spoken turned dark. This was too odd and completely abnormal. How could a bird with such a horrible temper not come out immediately?!

"No need to overthink things. They’re bound to die," at this moment, a middle-aged lady from the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave spoke indifferently. This beautiful lady was apparently an expert.

At this time, Qi Lin was in the company of a cloaked man. This man’s face was concealed and he spoke not a single word.

Everyone was paying attention and, in fact, everyone around the world was viewing the live stream. All eyes were on Mount Song!

"What situation is this? Has that big headed bird been scared away? Don’t tell me he’s a scam?!" The toad was suspicious.

Chu Feng walked up and said, "Enough, have you satisfied your mouth? Then stay aside. There’s a domain here, so he can’t hear anything no matter how vicious your curses are."

The toad: "#$!#$"

The toad was parched from talking too much. He had been told that he was playing the lute in front of a cow after he had been throwing curses for so long. Those inside couldn’t hear him at all! This made him feel rather under accomplished.

It glanced askance at Chu Feng with a look that almost said, "Aren’t you too lacking in integrity?!"

Chu Feng stepped forth without breaking his own domains and began to take action. He searched for other targets within the mist and then plucked out a number of crystalline flags in succession.

This type of item wasn’t big. They were only palm-sized, completely black and were releasing black radiance.

Following which, Chu Feng turned to look down the mountain and said, "Everyone, I’ll treat you all to roc meat in a while!"

With that, he pulled out the final flag and walked in with large strides.

The main peak of Mount Song was filled with temples. A certain thousand-year-old temple was releasing Buddhist radiance, but it was also surging with intense black light.

A man clad in black gold battle armor suddenly opened his eyes. This was precisely the Dark Roc King. He was sitting cross-legged and recuperating during the recent days.

That was because it was attacked by the mysterious energy present in the earth’s atmosphere and nearly died. It was badly wounded and thus needed to recover.

Although it successfully passed this trial and arrived on earth, the price it had to pay was quite extreme. The weapons it had brought along had all been shattered.

"Humph, you really don’t fear death!" He immediately sensed everything during that single moment it took to open his eyes because he was sufficiently powerful.

He vanished from his original position with a swoosh and arrived before the mountain peak within an instant. His whole body was suffused with black light as he stood before a gigantic rock and looked down at Chu Feng.

His expression shifted slightly after seeing the small crystalline flags in Chu Feng’s hands. "You’re that domain researcher. What’s your name again?"

He spoke in ancient Chinese language. He wasn’t quite fluent but it was sufficient to understand. He was currently looking down calmly at Chu Feng.

At this moment, Chu Feng was also looking at him and sizing him up.

The Dark Roc King appeared quite extraordinary after taking on a human form.

His posture was straight. He possessed a waist-long black hair, fair skin and a pair of abstruse eyes. He appeared quite handsome, but his skin was so pale that it seemed somewhat sickly.

The metallic armor on his body was an exact-fit. It was made of feathers, flowing with a cold luster and seemed quite metallic.

As a whole, although his face was somewhat pale, his whole person seemed somewhat savage and arrogant.

At least, at the current moment, he was looking at Chu Feng with absolute disdain. There was a tinge of arrogance in its confidence as if he were looking at a lowly species.

He was a roc and thus had always been a proud creature.

Chu Feng didn’t reply and was, instead, sensing where his parents were. His divine instincts were astonishing and could sense everything in the vicinity just by spreading his spirit a little bit.

First, he discovered the elder ape because his energy intensity was greater than other people. He had been sealed and was in a rather bad shape. He had suffered fractures and his whole body was caked with blood.

Additionally, he also sensed a group of apes and his parents. All of them were held in captivity and, although they appeared drowsy, none were in mortal danger.

"Did you suppress them?!" asked Chu Feng.

"It’s only a slightly powerful ape. I accepted him as my servant out of goodwill, but he doesn’t know how to appreciate my kindness," said the Dark Roc King.

He was too lazy to even care about the others and directly locked them up because the only one who could impress him was the elder ape. Others could only be used for menial tasks like holding the tea tray, pouring water and trimming grass.

His requirements were quite high. None could enter his eyes unless they were powerful king level entities.

Chu Feng was now completely relieved. His parents were being held captive on the back mountain. The most miserable was the Elder Ape, he’d been tortured quite badly.

"You being able to enter means that your attainments aren’t bad. Have you come to be my servant?" The Dark Roc King glared at Chu Feng without the slightest ripple on his fair face.

In short, he was very arrogant and only viewed Chu Feng as an acceptable follower. However, it was impossible for them to be on equal footing.

"Grumble!"

Chu Feng’s stomach began to roar at this moment. A smile gradually appeared on his face as he swallowed hard and glared at this roc.

"What are you smiling for? Your habit of easily changing various expressions is quite despicable. What I need is a servant with a heart of steel!"

The Dark Roc King said thus in a contemptuous manner. He felt humans had too many emotions and tended to express too much happiness, anger, sadness, and delight. He felt this was completely unnecessary.

The smile on Chu Feng’s face grew even wider because he had found out this Roc King’s strength!

"You still dare smile in front me?! What insolence!" The Roc King rebuked.

"Little bird, you’re dead meat!" Chu Feng shouted.

"You lowly native, what did you just say?! Say it one more time!" The Dark Roc stood there without flipping out. He was acting quite flamboyant with one had at his ear, posing as if he was listening attentively. There was a cold smile on his face but his attitude was still full of disdain.

The toad, who was hiding behind Chu Feng all this time, was furious after seeing this. The other party was simply too arrogant and acting as if he were certain about killing them. He actually asked Chu Feng to repeat his words.

"I said, little bird, you’re dead meat!" Chu Feng said.

The Dark Roc King picked his ear with one finger and said, "Fool, I wanted to give you an opportunity at first and pretend I didn’t hear it, but you really dare repeat the words. Are you looking to die?!"

His posture and attitude were quite careless. His hand was still at his ears as if he didn’t even put Chu Feng in his eyes.

At this time, Chu Feng began to move. He warped to the front with unbelievable speed. He had actually broken through to over seven times the speed of sound.

The mist and clouds in the areas he passed through were blown away with a huge boom. It was as if thunder was descending from the nine heavens and smashing down on Mount Song.

He was simply too fast akin to a bolt of lightning and immediately arrived before the Dark Roc King. His right palm made a complete spin before slamming down at the target.

Pow!

The Roc King was still picking his ears in an unorganized manner and glancing askance at Chu Feng in a disdainful manner. In the end, Chu Feng had arrived just like that and gave him a slap to the ear.

With a huge boom, this Roc King in black gold armor was struck square in the face. The immense force behind this palm was delivered in its entirety, sending him flying away.

He crashed into a giant roc in the distance with a loud thud, smashing the ten-meter-tall rock apart.

Chu Feng didn’t chase after him but, instead, began to calmly adjust his collar and roll up his sleeves while looking down at the enemy.

The Dark Roc King had received the full brunt of this surprise attack. He was acting quite casual just now and his attitude was as if he were examining an inferior being. But, in the blink of an eye, he suffered a roundhouse slap and was sent rolling on the ground!

This scene was simply... too beautifully tragic!

After smashing the rock apart, he continued into the ground and produced a big hole there. The left ear he’d been picking just now was bleeding and some blood was also seeping out of his nose.

The toad saw everything clearly from behind and was completely flabbergasted. The Dark Roc just now was quite the model character—he was arrogant, cold, proud, and untamed like a demonic god looking down at Chu Feng. In the end, he was slapped to the ground while he was picking his ear ostentatiously. His demonic-god-like temperament was also gone!

"What a good slap! How satisfying! Keep on acting so smug!" The toad clapped in delight.

"Roar..."

A roar came from the Dark Roc King who immediately rose up and hovered in the air. Many ten-thousand-kilogram rocks left the ground and began to float around him.

Additionally, the ten-thousand-year-old ancient trees around him were uprooted and the vast temples behind him were directly blasted apart.

The earth cracked and large rocks floated upwards as the Roc King’s energy flooded out in an overwhelming manner. Dark radiance suffused and almost distorted the air.

Mount Song was trembling!

In the distance, everyone was shocked. Was Chu Feng really going to kill the Roc King? Was he really going to slaughter a roc?

The Dark Roc King charged forth with a boom, accompanied by a bitter light and engulfing the world in its energy fluctuations as he charged towards Chu Feng!

The mighty Chu Feng didn’t move at all and, instead, activated the black and white grinding stone. This was his first time using it in battle to madly absorb the energy smashing towards him.

A visible energy vortex appeared before his body as the grinding stone circulated in his body. It began to absorb, crush and disintegrate the energy particles, leaving only the best essence.

The Dark Roc King’s furious strike was thus dissolved. Just as the bird king arrived in front of him, the energy behind his blow was absorbed by Chu Feng’s grinding stone and dispersed. He had opened up new paths for himself.

Chu Feng was indeed pulling a fast one on the enemy but it was fairly effective. At this moment, he was full of extreme tyrannical power—he delivered yet another full slap to the opponent’s ears.

Pow!

The overbearing Dark Roc King’s killing intent rushed towards the sky. It had dived down towards Chu Feng but, in the end, received such a heavy retaliatory blow. He fell head-first to the ground with a loud thump and rolled away.

This time, the injury he received was even worse and was bleeding from his ears and nose. The earth had been smashed apart, sending rocks and soil into the air.

"This scene is too beautiful..." The toad cried out loudly.

Just now, the Dark Roc King was extremely tyrannical and his method of attack was quite graceful. But the final result was simply too miserable.

The Dark Roc King was enraged. Black energy emerged around him and surged towards the sky. The dark radiance began to distort the air around him as he shot up accompanied by a surge of explosive energy!"

Chu Feng shouted, "There’s a roc on Mount Song. The Roc is too big to stew in a single pot. We need two roasting racks..."

He recited this poem with relative ease as he looked down at the Dark Roc King. Their attitudes had now completely reversed.

"Roar..." The Dark Roc King’s roar shook the heaven and earth!
