The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 569 Peerless Arts

The heavenly vine, with its entirely golden body and exuberant leaves, was absorbing the starlight.

The spiritual battlefield was like a floating island at the top of the heavenly vine. The leaves next to it were moving, and the vines wound around it in layers. It was very bizarre.

Right now, the situation on the battlefield had reversed. The Deity saint’s palm was almost ripped apart and bleeding as he shot away at lightning speed.

Luo Hong had a terrible look on his face because Chu Feng—who was being suppressed and couldn’t operate his energy smoothly—had actually counterattacked and caused him to take a huge loss.

This wasn’t Chu Feng’s first strike, but rather several strikes in a row. And it caused lacerations to appear on Luo Hong’s shoulders, arms, palms, and one of his legs—he had suffered a heavy blow.

What kind of situation was this? Whether it was Luo Hong or those saints who were watching the battle, all were in shock because it had reversed way too fast.

Especially Mu Qinghan—at the moment, she had the most unsightly expression. She was just saying that Yaoyao had bad foresight because the person she had chosen was going to die, but Chu Feng had started to counterattack in an instant.

“Deity Descent!” Luo Hong shouted. The golden radiance on his body became even more resplendent, and there was a frightful energy aura bursting out to suppress the entire spiritual space.

Rumble!

There were golden rays surging from his pores and flashes of lightning arcing between his mouth and nose. He was operating his Deity Ultimate Breathing Technique, and it was incredibly frightening as he respired the energy around him.

At this moment, his every movement contained destructive power. There were numerous meteorites larger than mountains floating outside the island. They were made of spiritual power and similar to actual meteorites. Now, they were exploding into fine powder as he brandished his fist.

Chu Feng let out a muffled groan. The radiance on his entire body became dimmer once again as his energy was suppressed. He fell back with injuries and his fist dripping with blood.

However, he didn’t mind at all. On the contrary, he was happy because he was close to success. He traced back to the source and was gradually understanding the profundities of the Demon Flood Dragon Fist.

Although it was good and bad at times because he hadn’t mastered it thoroughly, it was still developing in a good direction.

Boom!

As expected, after he was violently suppressed again, Chu Feng’s fist shone as the profundities took effect once again. It broke through the obstructions and tore a huge bloody hole in Luo Hong’s palm.

Luo Hong screamed. This was incredibly odd because, in his eyes, Chu Feng was sometimes powerful and sometimes weak. This gave him a sense of danger.

Bang, bang, bang!

Chu Feng swung his fist with rays shooting out occasionally which struck the meteorites outside the island. The scene was truly dreadful. A golden whirlpool swiveled rapidly and ground all tangible objects into cosmic dust.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Chu Feng became more and more delighted. He had operated the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique to continue extracting the mysteries and to reveal the most intrinsic qualities. He was intent on mastering them.

It was similar to a spiral force, but this was more complicated, and the destructive power it formed was shocking.

There was someone who had experimented on it.

They replaced the grinding wheel with a piece of paper and spun it rapidly. As it turned out, the paper could easily cut flesh and even logs.

And with the electric drill, needless to say, a tiny bit of force was sufficient to penetrate cement or even a metal plate.

Bullets engraved with a cross would spin when shot. The damage once it entered the human body was catastrophic because it could directly mince all the organs inside the body. It had terrible destructive power and was a dozen times more powerful than a common bullet. [1]

In the past, Chu Feng’s greatest comprehension in studying the Demon Flood Dragon Fist was its grinding effect, but now after using the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique to extract the source, he received a form of energy release which was countless times more complicated than the spiral force. Its destructive power was terrifying.

The power of a spinning piece of paper or bullet was already at the summit of the mortal world, let alone that of evolvers.

This kind of profundity was a hundred thousand times more complicated than the spiral force, and its energy circulation pattern possessed the utmost destructive power.

Chu Feng became calmer because his gains under the Deity Saint’s suppression was increasing exponentially.

Even though in this process, there was blood all over his body and at the corners of his mouth, his expression grew brighter and more spirited.

Of course, the so-called bloodstain was produced by spiritual power, and it represented the level of his injury.

Boom!

At last, Chu Feng had mastered it. He successfully extracted and received the original profundities of the Demon Flood Dragon Fist.

For a moment, when he swung his fist, it resembled a golden spiral shooting out abruptly. This made the saint of the Deity race groan.

People were aghast—Luo Hong’s entire arm had been badly mangled with ghastly white bones showing through. It was almost torn apart, and the scene was fairly dreadful.

Obviously, the scales of victory were already tipping toward Chu Feng.

“What kind of technique is this that it can withstand the supreme battle technique of the Deity race?” In the starry sky, the people were startled and in doubt.

The Deity Descent was a supreme inheritance capable of suppressing all enemies, and it could also suppress other evolvers into an ordinary person. It had supremacy over everything!

But now, this fist technique was actually able to contend against it!

For a moment, everyone was astonished by Chu Feng because the technique he had used seemed to be realized in the battle—this moved everyone.

What was the most frightening type of person? Without a doubt, the kind of evolver who would hone himself in battle—who would get stronger and constantly evolve in life or death battles—such a person was especially formidable!

“I already have the Resonance Technique, so I’ll name you the Spiral Technique.” Chu Feng’s naming was incredibly simple. If the other evolvers knew about this, they would be speechless.

All those heavenly techniques of the other races had majestic and tyrannical names.

Actually, this secret technique was an energy operating method countless times more complicated than the spiral force. In the evolutionary field, it was incomparably obscure and mysterious because it was mainly used for destruction and possessed a world-shaking power.

“Luo Hong, it’s time to kill you now!” Chu Feng had endured for a long time. He had the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique, but he never went all out because he wanted to use this pressure to extract the invincible Demon Flood Dragon Fist.

“Chu Feng, you’re acting so insolent for a mere accomplishment. Who do you think you are? You think you can kill me just because you comprehended one kind of technique?” Luo Hong was callous. As a member of the Deity race, he was naturally haughty. Especially when he was facing an entity who had come from a planet they once exterminated, he felt a sort of superiority.

Tsch!

However, Chu Feng spoke with facts. His fists shone as the golden spiral rushed out like a bolt of lightning to tear apart the saint’s arm. One of Luo Hong’s arm was cut off with blood splattering everywhere.

This... Everyone was gobsmacked.

And the person in question, Luo Hong, turned even paler. The Deity Radiance outside his body could not stop the attack, and he suffered a huge loss.

“Kill!”

Chu Feng’s black hair was dancing in the breeze, and his pupils emitted cold lightning as he rushed forward to kill.

The people were amazed to see that sometimes, a golden spiral would emerge from his fist, and at other times, it was like an extremely thin light beam spinning in high speed. Its power to rip apart and penetrate things was simply too frightening.

One had to know that his opponent was a saint with vast experience. Throughout the endless years, he had already revised the shackled realm, the carefree realm, the visualization realm, and other realms to the most flawless state. But now, he was actually in a disadvantageous position!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rapidly spinning light beam emitted from Chu Feng’s fist was invincible. Some of those enormous stones outside the island could already be counted as a small asteroid, but they were either ground to dust by the golden vortex or crushed to specks of light within the spinning beam of light before disappearing completely.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft......

There was blood all over the Deity Race saint’s body. His shoulder had been pierced through, and his entire arm had almost fallen off—only a layer of skin remained attached to it. His left chest had also been pierced through, and his internal organs were mostly crushed. His foot was penetrated as he stepped toward Chu Feng, almost losing half of it in the process.

Everyone had chills running down their spine. This kind of energy circulation was not only scary but nearly poisonous!

Even Chu Feng himself thought that the “spiral technique” was incredibly insidious, and the destructive power was extremely dreadful. It would be a nightmare to any enemy.

“Junior, you are so malicious!” Luo Hong shouted as he fell backward as fast as lightning.

Many people were speechless to see a saint shout in such a manner. It was imaginable how resentful he was from the words he blurted out.

In such short instant, Luo Hong had become so miserable. He had lost an arm and half a foot, while the other arm was almost falling with only a layer of skin attached to it. Also, the hole in his chest was obvious and his organs had nearly turned to mush.

This frightening scene made everyone’s blood run cold. They realized that Chu Feng’s secret technique was indeed excessively malicious. Anyone who ran into it would be terrified.

Even though Luo Hong was in his spiritual form and the injuries he had suffered weren’t to his actual arms and organs, the damage sustained was still on the same level because the injury to his spirit might even be worse!

Wheeze! Croak!

At this moment, there were weird sounds coming out from Luo Hong’s body because he was frantically operating the deity breathing technique. For a moment, he sounded as though he were snoring while later he was croaking like a frog—his entire body was shining and his belly was swollen with odd sounds coming out.

Practically at the same time, endless golden blood and qi rushed out and enshrouded him, whereupon his body started to crackle and spasm.

Chu Feng went forward for the kill, but this time, the saint of the Deity race Luo Hong avoided the fight. He evaded with the Deity movement techniques and weaved about like a spirit. He was suddenly to the left and then suddenly to the right.

He was healing—after his body was pervaded with qi and blood, his broken arm, and organs were all growing back rapidly. In the end, he actually recovered completely.

However, the radiance on his body had become slightly dimmer. Clearly, a huge price had to be paid.

In the starry sky, the most powerful people in every race were moved. This was one of the most wondrous aspects of the Deity Race’s ultimate breathing technique. After surpassing the visualization realm, broken limbs could be regenerated repeatedly simply by circulating it.

Yet only a minority of the geniuses could do it in the visualization realm.

In the meantime, Luo Hong was reading aloud an ancient spell. His entire seemed to be cast from gold but apart from this, he was hollow and unstable as a heavenly brilliance descended out of thin air.

“This is... he’s summoning the deity!” someone cried out in surprise.

Some famous characters constricted their pupils. They had heard rumors that the Deity Race’s Secret Cannon was unimaginable because it had all sorts of unconventional inheritances.

The Deity Descent and Deity Summon, they were both inheritances from the same lineage!

The race could summon energy from the void by means of blood sacrifices and spells. It was a type of mighty power.

Right now, Luo Hong was summoning the deity.

Bang!

A golden radiance landed. It was a golden hand bone which instant fitted onto Luo Hong’s palm and made his hand resplendent and terrifying.

After that, a piece of metallic skin descended amidst bright golden light and shielded Luo Hong’s chest.

Another golden leg bone fell down and merged into Luo Hong’s leg with glaring radiance.

“Chu Feng, quick, attack! Otherwise, you’ll miss the chance!”

“Quick! He’s summoning the deity. Those look like the bestowals of the god. They are peerless and undefeatable. Break them quickly!”

There were a lot of people shouting and reminding Chu Feng on the Origin Beast Platform. Even though there were a lot of people who wanted to kill him, there was still a considerable portion who had good impressions of him. They hoped that he could defeat the saint of the Deity race and rise to godhood.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng was in the battle, so he could not hear anything.

However, his own instinct was also telling him that he had to attack immediately without any hesitation.

At this moment, after Luo Hong’s body merged with all those golden bones and metal skins, a bright light spread out with them as the center and shrouded his entire body.

At this moment, he was really like a living deity who had been summoned from the outer realm!

Bang!

Chu Feng once again used the spiral technique and it struck the arm of the golden saint. However, the golden spiral did not disintegrate his flesh. It was blocked.

“Huh?!” Chu Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He felt like Luo Hong was wearing a layer of divine cloth. Right now, he was like a deity who had descended from heaven and could stand shoulder to shoulder with a god.

“Chu Feng, in this kind of situation, I can easily cross over large domains and kill. You can’t even touch me, but I can easily rip you apart!”

Luo Hong threw a slap while shouting—it was the Deity Palm. Chu Feng faced it head on, but in the end, the spiral technique wasn’t as effective as it should be. It only managed to tear one layer of the opponent’s palm and made him bleed a little. As for Chu Feng, his blood was already churning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“It really is difficult to kill a saint!” Chu Feng sighed. His gaze became more ardent and incredibly resplendent.

In the starry sky, all the dao children, demonic sons, and fairies from the top-ten planets had weird expressions on their faces. This native from the declined land was indeed interesting because, until this moment, he still wanted to kill the saint.

At this moment, there were five or six experts from the younger generation of the top-ten planets. There were men and women, and they were all staring at the battlefield.

Meanwhile, some saints had weird expressions on their faces too. They wanted to see if Chu Feng could defy the heavens and deal with the summoned deity god of the deity race. This was already trouble for the top-ten masters, let alone an evolver of another race.

“Yaoyao, the person you chose is in a bad situation. Oh, yes, and what is your situation now? I’m afraid that you’re not even a ghost. Oh, you’re already in this situation and yet you’re still reluctant to leave the world. Do you not want to die?”

The saintess of the spirit race, Mu Qinghan, spoke with a smile on her face, but her words were evil. She sought to expose a scar from Yaoyao’s past.

“Enough, Mu Qinghan, don’t you think it’s too much? Back then, you were destroyed with a flip of her hands, and now you’re only seeking to get back at her. Don’t you think it’s a bit too low?”

At this moment, a man appeared from the starry sky. He had a tall figure with a young face and was clad in green clothes from head to toe. He was very handsome, but there was a thread of vicissitude in his eyes that couldn’t be concealed.

“The owner of the Origin Beast Platform, Lin Qi!” an ancient saint cried out in surprise.

Lin Qi was now a peerless saint with hardly any opponents under the heaven-illumination level. Moreover, he controlled tremendous power and resources.

“You...” Mu Qinghan opened her mouth, but she didn’t dare to say anything.

“Yaoyao!” Lin Qi gently called.

“Little Lin!” Yao Yao was also looking at him.

Lin Qi had a sad expression on his face. He thought that it was too unreal to see the ethereal lady standing on the heavenly vine. He remembered the last scene back in the day, where her white robe was covered in blood as she soared to the heavens to meet the enemy head-on. It was as though she wanted to bring destruction upon herself. That was the last mournful time he saw her...

He couldn’t even stop her because, at that time, he wasn’t even a saint. Therefore, he had no right.

In the past, he didn’t belong to earth because he came from another galaxy, but he was one of Yaoyao’s best friends. And when he hurried to the earth, all he saw was her battle to the death.

Thinking of this made Lin Qi want to cry.

“Little Lin.” Yao Yao smiled sweetly with unconstrained brilliance.

After Lin Qi saw her situation, he felt even more pain in the heart. After all, this was only her lingering will and not the real Yaoyao. The exceptional white-robed lady would never come back.

At this moment, he actually felt the urge to cry.

After all these years, he had become one of the most powerful saints in the universe and even had powerful heaven-illuminators at his back. He had also developed the very small battling platform at that time into the Origin Beast Platform with a flourishing reputation.

Endless years had passed by, but he had still retained the golden account named “Yaoyao Becomes Immortal” for Yaoyao because he hoped that one day, she could reappear in the world.

However, he felt pained in his heart after seeing her in a robe white than snow, just elegant and exceptionally splendid as before. Even as a saint, his eyes stung, and he wanted to cry. After all, that ethereal lady was once the number one under the starry sky. But now, all that was left of her was a lingering will. Some people who were way inferior to her had already become saints. But where was the real her?

“My saint slaughtering shall start from the Deity Race!”

In the battlefield, the one-sided massacre which people expected did not happen. Even though the Deity Summon had succeeded, Luo Hong still couldn’t kill Chu Feng.

On the contrary, Chu Feng was now in high spirits. He had the resonance technique in his left hand and the spiral technique in his right. He operated the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique and rushed for the kill.

He used two different techniques at the same time, and the effect that came out was very frightening. It was universally shocking. The overlay of the mighty energy was greater than the total of the two, one plus one was way greater than two!

Boom!

The golden divine shirt on Luo Hong’s body was torn, and some golden divine bones were shaken out, accompanied by mists of blood!

“This... Could it be that a major event like saint slaughtering is going to happen today?!”

In the starry sky, everyone was stunned.

...

[1] Don’t all bullets spin when shot? Oh well...
