The Stone Fox refused flatly at first because Chu Feng actually wanted to use it as a shield!
"Did I owe you anything in my previous life? Do I have to be bitten by countless snakes of order for you to suppress the Myriad Snake Nest? I'm not going! "
"Senior, a person must be honest. You promised me that you would accompany me once I become a god."
The Stone Fox corrected him. "I'm not a person, I'm a heavenly venerable, understand? I never promised anything. I only said that you have to become a god if you want to go in! "
But in the end, it still agreed because the little Vermillion Bird had come over to wipe its tears. It wanted to ask the Stone Fox to bring its mother out of the Fallen Phoenix Hill.
Shi Hu sighed and said, "Forget it. Since we are going to enter a special terrain, it doesn't matter if we enter once or twice. I will help you. However, I really can't move. If I am abandoned in those mountains and rivers, I will suffer for the rest of my life."
It gathered together with Chu Feng and studied the various terrifying mountains and rivers. Chu Feng understood domains and was now a peak sagemaster who was about to break through to the divine level.
The Stone Fox sighed in admiration at such a young quasi-divine expert. It said that his evolutionary talents were far inferior to his talents in domains. The latter could be considered shocking even in the Yang-Realm.
It advised Chu Feng that taking the ordinary path of evolution was a mistake. He should start from domains and use this to become a heavenly venerable.
Normally, the amount of time and energy needed to advance in the field of domains was more than ten times that of the evolutionary path. But Chu Feng had broken common sense.
"I want to take both paths!" Chu Feng replied.
The lame heavenly venerable scolded him for being greedy and that he wouldn't be able to take either path.
After a period of exploration, Chu Feng and the Stone Fox were covered in dirt. They were almost trapped in the Fallen Phoenix Hill and brought out the old Vermillion Bird's corpse with great difficulty. It had long since withered up and its essence energy had completely dissipated.
"That was close!" Chu Feng was still apprehensive.
When the Stone Fox heard this, he immediately glared and said, "What's so dangerous about that? You carried me in, blocked in front of you, and endured all the attacks. You were completely fine, okay? My old arms and legs almost fell apart!"
The little Vermillion Bird cried loudly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She fainted several times.
The stone fox sighed. Back then, it had watched the old Vermillion Bird grow up. In the end, it died here. Right now, it felt terrible, but it was powerless to do anything.
Its almighty master had crippled it, and even now, there was still a terrifying restriction within its body, making it unable to break free from its fate.
In the depths of the forbidden land, in front of the First Layer of Heaven, Chu Feng and Shi Hu had been studying it for a long time, but they still hadn't dared to put it into action.
The little Vermilion Bird's eyes were red. It buried its mother in a place with verdant hills and limpid waters. Now, it also came over to study with them.
"Senior, this time, you only need to stay there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and we will be successful!"
"Shut up! How much essence, energy, and spirit will I lose in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn? Little brat, is your domain attainments enough? Are you going to rely on me as a meat shield?!"
Chu Feng smiled apologetically and said, "You have the body of a Heavenly Venerable. I can't even cut your face with a divine knife. Even in a special terrain, that kind of order definitely can't hurt you!"
"I want to slap you to death!"
…
In the end, the stone fox agreed to Chu Feng's request with a dark expression. In the end, it immediately regretted it.
Goddammit, it wanted to curse, but Chu Feng flung it away like a brick and threw it into the first layer of the forbidden land.
Chi, chi, chi!
Light erupted within the forbidden land. This first layer of heaven was the famous Nest of Ten Thousand Snakes. For a moment, beams of light interweaved like divine snakes — some were flickering with silver light, some were glaring with golden light, and some were steaming with purple energy … Ten thousand snakes came out of the cave and pounced toward the stone fox.
They were all orders that could strangle gods!
Even the lame Heavenly Venerable let out a muffled groan. In the end, he roared, "Little brat, you've tricked me again. Are you done yet?!"
This was truly a case of ten thousand snakes drilling into his heart. All of them covered his body. They had agreed that he would only receive ten to twenty percent of the Nest of Ten Thousand Snakes' attack, so why was it all blasted over? It was obvious that it had been deceived by Chu Feng.
If it wasn't for the fact that this was only the first layer of heaven and its body was a Heavenly Venerable, things would've been troublesome. Even so, it growled repeatedly and wanted to crush Chu Feng to death with a single claw.
Chu Feng rushed in and prepared the stone box in secret, ready to put himself in at any moment.
At this moment, the terrain was trembling. The stone fox was suppressing that special node and had attracted all the divine snakes of order away. Meanwhile, Chu Feng was temporarily safe because he was stepping on a strange area.
These areas were the safest paths he had deduced as a domain researcher. If he could reach the divine level or even higher, the paths he had deduced would be even safer.
He kept changing his position. Hence, it was somewhat awkward when he landed. It was as though he was swinging left and right, left and right. These landing spots were too special.
The stone fox's mouth twitched after seeing this. "You're still in the mood to dance? Can you do it or not?"
"How can a true god say he can't? I'm the strongest. Just hold on for another incense stick's worth of time and I guarantee I'll plunder all the fortunes here! "Chu Feng shouted.
"Little bastard, I'll kill you!" the stone fox said furiously. How come there was an extra incense stick's worth of time? "It'll be done soon.
You must hold on. It's rare to have a few chances in life. How many things can be restarted? Senior, you're now standing on the precipice of fate. Be firm in your conviction, grit your teeth, and charge through.
The stone fox wanted to spit out blood after hearing Chu Feng pour out poisonous chicken soup mixed with dog blood.
Swoosh swoosh!
Chu Feng dodged left and right and moved in odd arcs. Finally, he arrived before the jade table on the first layer of heaven and snatched away the two talisman papers on it.
One was flickering with violet radiance and surging auspicious energy. The other was bright red and surging with scarlet radiance, illuminating the void.
These two talisman papers were covered in intricate patterns that were difficult to understand. They could be considered priceless treasured talismans. Even if Chu Feng were to be killed now, it wouldn't be a problem for him to immediately reincarnate.
"Are you done yet?!"
The stone fox forcefully endured the pain. He was once a heavenly deity, so he didn't want to grimace in pain.
However, it was truly painful. He used his stone body to forcefully endure all of the attacks, but it was still a bit unbearable. He simply wanted to curse out loud.
"Just a bit more. Hold on for another incense stick's worth of time!" Chu Feng shouted.
"I really want to beat you to death!" The stone fox gnashed his teeth in anger. This brat wanted to give him a few more incense sticks' worth of time?
Chu Feng seemed to be running randomly in this terrain, but there was actually a specific pattern. He continuously circled around or moved in an arc. Every time, he had to walk a long distance before he would suddenly take a few large steps forward and appear in front of his destination. As such, it was truly a waste of time.
He was currently picking up divine cores. He had already picked up five. Soon after, he discovered a few more in a rocky region and decisively moved in an arc.
These were all divine positions!
Of course, they were all damaged. If they weren't damaged, a single divine core could create a true deity. They were truly priceless treasures.
Just like that, Chu Feng attacked continuously in the first layer of the forbidden land in search of divine cores. His movements were fast, but he had to take a long detour. Every time, he had to make many circles before he could approach his target.
In the end, he found a total of 11 damaged divine cores. This could be considered a great harvest and made his heart burn with passion. These were his current treasures.
"Senior, let's go!"
Chu Feng ran away. After escaping, he shook the terrain violently. He had previously left behind many magnetic stones and laid down a domain. Now, it was completely activated.
Boom!
A brilliant light erupted from the lame stone fox and sent him flying. Then, he directly smashed out and blasted a large pit into the ground.
"Brat, I'm not done with you!" The old fox wanted to fight him to the death.
He was at the bottom of the pit with his head and face covered in dirt. Even now, the orderly divine snakes on his body hadn't dissipated completely. Even a stone embryo was twitching.
Chu Feng hurriedly flattered him. He gazed into the pit and said, "Senior, please calm your anger. Only you can suppress such a terrifying terrain in this world. It's truly amazing. Your physique is simply peerless!"
"Don't give me that! I won't fall for it!" The stone fox actually jumped out of the pit with a faint glow. It could actually jump clumsily at the critical moment!
Chu Feng said with a guilty conscience, "Senior, the reason I extended my time to come out is all for the little Vermillion Bird. Don't you feel that its mother died in such a miserable place? Now that it's left alone, it's so pitiful …"
The little Vermillion Bird was sentimental. Even though it wasn't young anymore, it had never come into contact with the complicated world. It was still very simple and immediately began to cry because it missed its mother.
The stone fox also felt bad. Back then, it had watched the little Vermillion Bird's mother grow up. In the end, it had watched her die here. Now that its daughter had grown up, there were indeed many regrets in its heart.
"Tell me, what does this have to do with the little Vermillion Bird?" it said while grinding its teeth.
"I discovered a few special divine cores that belonged to divine beasts. Moreover, it was suspected that they didn't use any mutant techniques when they were alive. They weren't contaminated by strange substances and relied on normal evolution to become gods."
Chu Feng decisively handed over a few divine cores to the little Vermillion Bird. Immediately, the stone fox's bellyful of anger subsided quite a bit. It looked at him with a dark expression.
Seeing that it didn't say anything with a dark expression, Chu Feng decisively ran away and chose a safe place to absorb the divine cores. He didn't dare to absorb these things as a whole.
That was because he understood the inside story. A single mistake and the original owner of the divine cores might obtain a different kind of rebirth.
As such, he used the divine sword to split up these broken divine cores and used the Six Rays of Time Technique to crush them all. Only then did he begin to absorb the divine substances.
Before long, in that area, divine light overflowed into the heavens. The energy within Chu Feng's body was increasing unceasingly, and his strength was rapidly increasing.
When a divine core completely turned into ashes, Chu Feng felt refreshed. Vigorous divine energy was gushing out from even his pores. His strength had increased by a large margin!
He decisively shattered the second divine core and began to absorb it. Both his corporeal body and soul light were trembling. During evolution, this kind of growth in strength was too fast. It gave him a kind of satisfaction and a sense of harvest.
If this continued, he would swiftly and violently become stronger. He definitely wasn't a god in the ordinary sense. He had just become a god and he was already beginning to evolve!
There was a pile of divine cores in front of him. If he absorbed all of them, even Chu Feng himself couldn't be sure to what extent he could grow to!
He knew that he was about to leave soon. He would slay a god and fly to the heavens to settle accounts with the people of the Yang Realm!
