Chapter 261: Ashes to Ashes

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Clang!

Every leap took Chu Feng one kilometer into the distance. He was enclosed in the giant golden bell from which one could hear the time-worn tolls of an ancient bell. The scene was truly astonishing.

Qian Yue was sent flying with blood pouring out of his mouth but was caught up within mere moments.

Chu Feng shouted before bombarding the enemy with a series of fist strikes.

Boom!

Divine light flared like the tidal waves on a golden sea as the five lifeforms which comprised the golden bell flew out once again, accompanying Chu Feng’s strike.

The dragon, tiger, falcon, crane and bear forms all materialized; some were emitting golden radiance, some black, and some snow-white. Draconic chants, tiger roars, and bird cries filled the air, forming a terrifying scene.

Thump!

Qian Yue was once again sent spinning through the air, splashing blood in all directions.

This time, he was flung over a thousand meters away and crashed into a mountain peak which consequently collapsed into several pieces, causing dust and smoke to billow into the air.

"You bug! Now you’ve truly infuriated me. Do you really think I’m no match for you?!" Qian Yue roared as his hair danced wildly behind him and violet flames raged on his body.

"What do you think you are? You’re just a three-eyed freak. Don’t tell me your ancestors were revived and evolved from fossilized trilobites?" Chu Feng laughed loudly and mocked.

The more he looked at this three-eyed marine race expert, the more he disliked him. This person was actually calling him a bug as if his bloodline was truly noble.

Boom!

Qian Yue erupted with violet light which surged to the skies. His body was constantly emitting crackling sounds as a tail grew out from his back similar to that of a flood dragon.

Furthermore, his body began to expand and swiftly reached three meters tall. His handsome countenance had disappeared and was covered from head to toe in dense scales, glistening with purple radiance.

He was still in human form but was now covered in scales up to his face in addition to an extra tail.

"I’m a descendant of Atlantis and have every right to call you a bug. You people are nothing during the glory years of my race!" Qian Yue roared with an inherent sense of superiority. He was still just as vain despite having suffered quite a bit.

"The sunken Atlantis? So the legendary Atlanteans are all freaks like you? I don’t believe this b*llshit. You being a descendant must mean that your ancestor had married someone from another race. I’m guessing it must be a flood serpent. How terribly ugly, you look like an unsightly hybrid. You still have the audacity to call yourself a divine race. I feel that you yourself look quite like a bug. Maybe I’ll call you the bug race from now on!" Chu Feng provoked.

"You’re looking to die!"

The scaly Qian Yue loudly roared as the light from his vertical eye burned fiercely and shot out in the form of a violet beam.

"Clang!"

This beam almost shot through the golden bell around Chu Feng’s body.

"It’s still lacking!" Chu Feng commented. His every movement surged with blood energy, almost like a deity with his golden bell rumbling around him.

At this time, he was even more brilliant than the sun with splendorous radiance shooting out in all directions as he closed in for the kill.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Qian Yue’s aura had risen again somewhat as two scaly wings unfurled from his back.

"You keep growing uglier and uglier. I feel that I’m wronging the insects by calling you a bug. How are you still maintaining human shape after so much transformation? You’re making me lose my appetite, die!"

The furious Chu Feng turned into a beam of light and shot through the skies, pouncing onto the enemy with terrifying fist intent!

The giant bell rumbled and shook the whole mountain.

Qian Yue was absolutely furious; the opponent’s words were simply too malicious. He couldn’t eat anything human-shaped?! This infuriated him greatly.

"Chu Feng, I’ll flay you alive!" Qian Yue flickered into a beam of violet light and shot towards Chu Feng with a flap of his wings.

Boom!

This time, they were exerting their full force as they crashed into each other shooting out blinding light from their midst.

With a dong, cracks began to appear on the golden bell formed by the Xingyi fist intent while a beam of light from between the opponent’s brows grazed past his neck, lacerating it and sending fresh blood spurting out in all directions. The situation was extremely dangerous, but Chu Feng possessed an astonishing rate of regeneration which mitigated the damage.

Thump!

At the same time, Chu Feng’s fists landed on the opponent’s body. The strike this time caused Qian Yue’s ribs to cave in amidst obvious cracking sounds, sending him flying into the distance.

The both of them were wounded and drenched in blood!

"Eh? You want to run away?" At this time, Chu Feng noticed the distant turtledove spreading its wings to rush towards the sky.

He had been keeping an eye on the other king level experts in the vicinity and would immediately kill them should they take action.

In truth, the other beast race experts couldn’t wait to see Chu Feng dead.

They wanted to rush out to kill him but found that the difference between them was simply too great. They would simply be throwing their lives away.

There were also beast race members like the Turtledove King who wanted to run away, but they were all frightened and didn’t dare to move lest Chu Feng shoot out his lightning spear and kill them immediately.

There was previously a bird king who had suffered this miserable fate!

But, after the intense battle between Chu Feng and the marine race expert shifted a few kilometers away, the Turtledove King gained the courage to make his move. He wanted to escape to a safe area first and foremost.

He, however, had grossly underestimated Chu Feng’s divine instinct which had locked onto them since the beginning. Any reckless action would result in a flare of killing intent.

Boom!

The air exploded as Chu Feng directly raised his speed to five and a half times that of sound and crossed the distance as if it was nothing. The scene was truly terrifying.

Especially with the abundance of mountaintops in the area, Chu Feng was able to proceed with his mad pursuit with relative ease. He rushed up to a mountain peak and leapt towards the skies.

"Kill!"

With a single shout, the Turtledove King’s mind was thrown into disarray and became so dizzy that he almost fell from the sky.

"You dare!" Qian Yue shouted from behind as he followed in hot pursuit, flapping his wings wildly in order to stop Chu Feng.

But he was no match for Chu Feng in terms of speed despite the wings and even after exerting his full force.

The Turtledove King was frightened out of his wits after seeing Chu Feng directly chase after him instead of using the lightning spear. The latter ran up without the slightest care of the mountain’s height and immediately leapt off its peak, catching up to the escaping bird king in the blink of an eye. This was absolutely shocking.

Thump!

Chu Feng’s fist surged with intense golden radiance which flooded over an area of a hundred meters.

Pfft!

The Turtledove King was blown to pieces and died miserably with feathers and blood raining down the area.

The remaining three beast kings were all shocked and their hearts completely sank. If even a flying beast king like the Turtledove King was killed under Chu Feng’s fists, they had next to no chance of escaping.

They could only put their hopes on Qian Yue’s triumph over Chu Feng. There was no other way to escape from the violent Demon King Chu!

Qian Yue was positively furious—Chu Feng had killed people repeatedly on his watch and didn’t seem like he had any plans to stop.

Chu Feng landed with a boom and shattered the mountain peak underneath!

He was enshrouded in radiance as he looked down on the three-eyed expert who had arrived in pursuit. "I’ll kill who I want. Can you even stop me?"

"You’re provoking my bottom line repeatedly. I’ll show you no mercy!" Qian Yue roared.

"You’re not worth a fart. What bottom line? You really think you’re some big shot? I’ll kill all the others too; let’s see what you can do," Chu Feng shouted.

With a boom, he swooped down from the mountaintop and glanced down towards the three king level experts.

"I’ll slaughter you!" Qian Yue felt greatly humiliated. He had thrown caution to the wind and spread his wings as he pounced towards Chu Feng.

The three beast race kings within the forest were all trembling in fear. They realized things had gone south for them.

"Let’s attack together and help Qian Yue kill him!" The Sheep King was in his human form but a long curved horn was still visible on his head.

"Kill!" The other two kings roared.

Thump!

Chu Feng exchanged a blow with Qian Yue midair and blew him away. He himself landed on the ground and rushed towards the three kings.

The Sheep King roared as he charged towards Chu Feng, but he was stunned to find that his other two comrades were fleeing the other way.

Chu Feng strode out with a speed which seemingly caused the earth to spin in reverse. He was so fast that the distance of a few kilometers was only a few steps for him.

At this time, he was emanating terrifying divine might and glowing with blinding resplendence like a heavenly god.

Chu Feng’s energy surged like the ocean waves breaking through the food banks as he threw an explosive slap towards the Sheep King.

"Marine race king, please save me!" The Sheep King pleaded in terror and tried to resist as best he could.

"Scram!" Qian Yue roared at Chu Feng as he dived down from the sky, but it was too late to stop him.

Chu Feng was like a deity; divine light surged out from him to envelope an area of a hundred meters as the Sheep King was blasted apart with a single slap.

Who apart from those apex existences with six severed shackles could contend with the current Chu Feng? There was no way to resist his terrifying attacks. He was like a deity who descended to the mortal world.

Chu Feng shook off Qian Yue and laughed. "I’m going to kill my third beast king. Try stopping me if you can!"

He broke through the sound barrier with a boom and crossed one kilometer in the blink of an eye to kill once again.

Qian Yue’s expression was completely ashen. The vertical eye between his brows glowed brightly and proceeded to attack from behind, but to his frustration, the opponent evaded all the attacks.

Boom!

The intense light lit up the whole of the mountainous woods and flooded a hundred meter perimeter with blinding radiance. All grass, trees and giant rocks were blasted apart and reduced to fine powder.

The process was accompanied by a miserable scream—the third victim had fallen.

"There’s one more left. I’m going to kill him now. Can you stop me?!" Chu Feng turned back with mockery in his eyes.

Qian Yue roared. He had flown into a rage out of humiliation because he was helpless to save even one beast king and was being mocked by the other party.

"You can’t stop me!" Chu Feng sneered.

Qian Yue roared madly and rushed over frantically.

This time, however, Chu Feng actually didn’t go for the last beast king and instead turned around to launch a fierce attack.

Chu Feng launch an all-out attack in which even the flying knife was used.

Pfft!

After a few exchanges, he had slashed off one of Qian Yue’s wings.

"With this, I won’t need to worry about you flying away. Time to kill that fourth person!" Chu Feng’s speech was irreverent and derisive.

Qian Yue’s lungs almost exploded from anger; was he really not a match? The loss of one of his wings greatly infuriated him.

This time, Chu Feng ran after the fourth person madly because he had gone pretty far. But this distance wasn’t a problem for Chu Feng who soon caught up.

The result was an anticlimactic explosion of the whole forest area accompanied by beast blood flying in all directions. He had killed his fourth beast king.

"I’m quite surprised you didn’t try to run away." Chu Feng returned to continue mocking the marine race expert.

Qian Yue had indeed wanted to retreat but after losing one of his wings, he knew he had lost his best chance at escaping.

"Run away? There are no cowards among our divine race. You think you’ve already won? Hand over your life, you bug!" Qian Yue roared. His long hair began to emit a light golden hue as the scales on his body began to disappear, rendering him an almost transparent color.

A few drops of golden blood on his chest released divine radiance as they spilled out from his heart, which then rushed towards his entire body and began to burn.

In the blink of an eye, his whole body became a light golden color.

"Divine blood, revive!" He loudly roared before rushing towards Chu Feng.

Boom!

The great battle shook the earth and skies. Forests were burnt to ashes while mountains burst into pieces. The destructive powers between the two were astonishing.

Qian Yue was so enraged that he had burnt his blood. He didn’t hesitate to burn the few drops of golden blood that was his inheritance from the Atlantis in order to fight it out with Chu Feng.

"I thank you for helping me raise my fists to the next level. You’ve served your purpose and it’s now time to die!" Chu Feng spoke.

At this time, his aura rose explosively and his fist intent surged to the skies as another true form appeared. A divine and noble heavenly stallion came galloping through the starry skies and materialized before him.

Within a short while, the dragon, tiger, falcon, crane, bear and stallion forms began to revolve around Chu Feng and, once again, formed the great bell.

The images of these six animals were carved upon the sides of the bell which began to toll with an ancient sound.

Qian Yue was enraged and frightened in equal measures after finding that he could no longer pierce through its defenses. It became almost invincible after the addition of a true form and couldn’t be shaken at all.

"Time to send you on your way!" Chu Feng shouted.

With a boom, he threw out a single fist along which the six true forms spiraled forth.

Resplendent light spilled forth with great magnificence like an exploding sun. Only a single pfft was heard before Qian Yue began to scream in great misery. His whole body had been torn to pieces and was gradually disintegrated to form a bloody mist!

At this time the great battle at Mount Yunluo had reached every nation via satellite images. Undoubtedly, a great commotion ensued!
