Chapter 258: The Celestial Blade for Chu Feng, the God in Captivity

Chapter 258: The Celestial Blade for Chu Feng, the God in Captivity

Although Shaohua didn’t say a word, a mere glance from her was enough to send chills down the spines of all the onlookers in the vicinity of the Solar System.

Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, a cold shiver running up their spines!

The Reflection of All Heavens-level beings fared a little better, but the Sages were in a sorry state, unable to withstand the pressure and trembling all over, looking weak, innocent, and pitiful.

“There’s no need to doubt it; that one must be a god-level existence surpassing the Reflection of All Heavens. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been scared off by just a glance!”

Someone spoke up, seemingly to save face, but most of the Reflection of All Heavens-level beings were already half-convinced. After ruling out all the impossible answers, the only remaining explanation, no matter how unlikely, had to be correct.

Moreover, this statement came from a powerful member of the Sub-Immortal Race, one of the top ten races, adding a degree of credibility.

That day, the universe was in an uproar, with a massive earthquake shaking the vast star seas!

Except for the most remote and primitive planets, almost everyone connected to the interstellar network was speculating and discussing the topic.

Throughout history, the strongest beings in the universe had never surpassed the Reflection of All Heavens level. The existence of god-level beings had always been confined to legends and fantasies, with many tales later proven false.

“Has a true god really been born? Where did He come from? Logically, the most likely place is Earth. After all, it seems that He is standing up for Earth.”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a true god appear in such a remote and desolate place? He must not be one of Earth’s Evolvers; there must be some hidden reason!”

“Hehe, this is going to be a good show. They say the top ten races in the universe have never changed. Now, will they still be able to sit back and watch?”

Who would have thought that the first god in the world would not come from the top ten races but from a remote and dilapidated place?

Some people also recalled another matter. Despite many powerful figures suffering defeats on Earth, the Celestial Divine Race was undoubtedly the hardest hit.

Three top-tier experts, all gone without a trace, and even their ultimate weapon was left behind. Now, did the Celestial Divine Race still have any Reflection of All Heavens-level experts?

Many large and small forces, as well as some interstellar pirates and independent strongmen, were tempted to take advantage of the situation and share in the spoils.

Meanwhile, the top nine races in the universe, excluding the Celestial Divine Race, acted unusually. Their powerful members either broke through their cultivation barriers or were urgently recalled.

The clan’s protective formations were fully activated, and Reflection of All Heavens-level elders wielded ultimate weapons to guard their ancestral planets. It was as if they were the ones who had been defeated.

Although they also coveted the Celestial Divine Race’s legacy, the most important thing now was to protect their own ancestral lands, remaining unchanged in the face of all changes.

The example of the Celestial Divine Race was right there. If they went out and provoked that unknown, god-level existence, who knew what would happen?

A finger crushed a Spirit Ancestor, a backhand eliminated three Reflection of All Heavens-level experts, and then, like catching fish, casually grabbed a Celestial Divine Race elder carrying an ultimate weapon.

Who wouldn’t break out in a cold sweat at that?

“Foolish, blinded by greed. Who do you think took out the Celestial Divine Race’s Reflection of All Heavens-level experts? You might have the courage to seize resources, but you won’t have the fortune to enjoy them!”

“We should close our doors and observe the situation. Don’t think about the Celestial Divine Race’s resources. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble, and closely monitor Earth’s developments!”

“Fortunately, our sect did not participate in that battle in ancient times and has no grudges with Earth. Before the situation is clear, there’s no rush to send envoys. Contact the forces that sent disciples to Earth for training and have their people investigate.”

At this point, many factions realized that the most important thing was not to take advantage of the Celestial Divine Race but to understand what had happened on Earth.

Sages from various races and sects spared no effort to contact their own divine sons and holy daughters who had already gone to Earth or were still in the folded space behind the famous mountains, using them to gather information about Earth’s recent conditions.

“You mean Earth has two Reflection of All Heavens-level experts returning?”

“Not only Reflection of All Heavens, but also a suspected god-level existence? You want us to investigate?!”

“...”

The divine sons and holy daughters were taken aback upon learning the situation.

How much respect was this?

They weren’t fools. The recent phenomena on Earth were astonishing, with towering demonic shadows and the Golden Radiant Path. The battles, however, took place outside the Solar System, and the gap in realms was too great for them to understand what had truly happened.

Now, informed by their own Sages and given this important mission, they all became more cautious, no longer daring to act recklessly on Earth.

Recalling their recent actions on Earth, some sighed in relief, while others felt uneasy and anxious.

The Sages of various races and sects were also at a loss. No one dared to go to Earth now, fearing that any perceived provocation might end in their demise. They could only watch from a distance in the outer Solar System, feeling as if they might explode at any moment.

Reflection of All Heavens-level experts were even more hesitant to act rashly.

“Clang!”

A snow-white celestial blade pierced through the solar storm, emerging from the blazing sun, surrounded by a thousand layers of blade light, and then fell to Earth.

A flash of light, and the celestial blade’s radiance dimmed, landing in Shaohua’s hand.

She seemed to recall something, her eyes flickering with a mysterious smile, and she ran her hand over the blade, causing it to emit a five-colored divine light.

That’s right, it now looked more like the blade used by the phoenix back then.

“Is this for me?” Chu Feng was both surprised and delighted, never expecting to receive such a benefit despite playing a minor role. He didn’t hesitate to accept it, thinking, “My sister is truly gentle, kind, and generous.”

“This blade has been reforged. It’s currently just a rough prototype. You need to nurture its spirit,” Shaohua told him.

She noticed his somewhat unsavory aura and decided to reforged the blade into the form of the former Undying Celestial Blade.

Chu Feng nodded eagerly. Even if he were given his original Heavenly God Blade, he wouldn’t dare use it. No matter how powerful a weapon, if it couldn’t be controlled, it was meaningless.

“There aren’t many weapons forged entirely of Primordial Metal in the entire universe. Even Reflection of All Heavens-level experts would go mad for them,” Yaoyao commented.

Chu Feng, elated with the new blade, took out the Primordial Metal chain he had found underground and wanted to return it to Yaoyao’s grandfather.

The elder took the “restraint” that had bound him for half his life and tossed it back. Chu Feng, feeling helpless, looked at Yaoyao.

Yaoyao couldn’t accept a weapon stained with her grandfather’s blood. She shook her head, telling him to keep it and play with it.

Shaohua, of course, didn’t care about such things. With a wave of her hand, she took everyone back to the Kunlun Mountains.

Meanwhile, the Holy Master also went to the depths of the universe to retrieve the few remaining Earthlings.

“After drifting since ancient times, we can finally return home!” Sage Changming’s old eyes welled with tears.

Home!

It was something that should have been cause for great joy, yet he was sobbing uncontrollably.

Even if he could return to Earth, what good would it do? His loved ones were already buried in the ancient past. Would that place still be his true homeland?

“We are all lingering souls from the ancient era. Now that Persistent Will is gone, we only wish to see our homeland one last time, to return to our roots. We would die content,” a one-armed elder said, his voice trembling as he gazed at Earth.

This was a Sub-Sage. Along with Sage Changming and Holy Master Yichen, they were the only three ancient Earth powerhouses still alive outside.

“Don’t be absurd. Once we return, there will be ways to heal our injuries. We must make Earth rise again. We still have a great vengeance to exact, and Yaoyao is still out there. We must help her return to her former glory. We can’t speak of death so lightly,” Holy Master said.

“Yaoyao!” The other two couldn’t help but think of that stunning successor who had captivated the ancient era. Undoubtedly the first under the heavens, their hearts couldn’t help but race.

If not for that calamity in the ancient era, she would have long since reached the Reflection of All Heavens realm, becoming the supreme power in the world, unbeatable by anyone!

Kunlun Mountains, Bull King Palace.

The mountains were majestic, and clear springs flowed gently. Some trees bore leaves that were crystal clear and green, with bright red fruits that smelled fragrant.

Shaohua and Chu Feng returned, naturally wanting to visit Yellow Bull and Big Black Bull.

“Ah, no wonder I heard the magpies chirping on the branches this morning. It turns out it’s you, Lady Immortal!” Big Black Bull shouted, rushing out.

A certain magpie king, who happened to be a guest at the Bull King Palace, twitched its beak.

“Sister Immortal!” Yellow Bull ran over, enthusiastic and excited, no longer shy. In human form, he was small and cute.

Of course, both bulls subconsciously ignored Chu Feng.

Sorry, but we’re not that close!

“I don’t have much to give you, but I caught a Golden Dragonfish in the sea just now. You can keep it for a while and eat it later; it’s very nourishing.”

Shaohua tossed a golden, fish-like creature that looked like a dragon. It was the celestial giant who had hurriedly offered itself to her.

“I am a Celestial Deity, a Reflection of All Heavens, not some Golden Dragonfish!”

Seeing the fish still squirming, Chu Feng immediately pulled out his large cleaver and swung it at the Golden Dragonfish’s head.

The celestial giant’s fish eyes widened, its power completely restrained, leaving it unable to resist. Its head felt dazed.

Most importantly, despite the change in appearance and color, it recognized the long knife in Chu Feng’s hand and immediately fainted in anger.

“A fish in shallow waters is mocked by shrimps, and a tiger in the plains is bullied by dogs,” Yaoyao sighed, adding a sharp comment, inadvertently insulting Chu Feng as well.

Chu Feng didn’t mind because it was indeed the truth, so he gave the fish a few more whacks with his knife.

One was a Reflection of All Heavens-level powerhouse, while the other was just a small Evolver who had broken free from Shackles. The gap between them was vast, almost incomparable.

“Brother Chu, what’s going on here? Tell us,” Big Black Bull urgently asked, pulling Chu Feng aside. Yellow Bull perked up his ears.

Chu Feng didn’t hide anything and briefly explained the situation.

Yellow Bull and Big Black Bull were stunned, drawing in sharp breaths.

“Reflection of All Heavens.” Yellow Bull felt dizzy, almost falling over.

He had only ever dreamed of becoming a Sage, but now he was told that a Reflection of All Heavens-level powerhouse was lying before him like a dead fish.

This, this, this... is this right?!

“I’ll dig a pond to keep the fish!” Big Black Bull, having no concept of what a Reflection of All Heavens was, fearlessly prepared to dig a pond on the spot.

Soon, a pond was dug, filled with clear water, and the helpless celestial giant was placed inside.

“You have all recovered your realms, but breaking free from twelve Shackles is not enough. If you can’t remove all Shackles, how can you achieve Unrestrained?”

This was different from before. With most of her memories awakened, Shaohua could see through the various issues of the pollen evolution path and the beings of the future.

To put it simply, in this fragmented world, almost everyone was a kind of "prisoner", their potential constrained by various Shackles.

Only a few beings were born different, like Divine Toad Ouyang Feng. As a divine beast, he had no Shackles and only needed to accumulate strength.

“To be invincible under the heavens, you must break all Shackles!” Yaoyao said.

The Beast Kings, including Yellow Bull, looked worried. They had only managed to break twelve Shackles and were planning to delve deeper into the Kunlun Mountains to search for Unbound Realm pollen to break through.

“I don’t expect to be invincible under the heavens, but breaking more Shackles should be beneficial for the future, right?”

“Beasts must have ambition. Even if we can’t be invincible, we must become Sages and founders. I, the Golden Crow, will sever all Shackles!”

The Kunlun Beast Kings didn’t doubt the words of the stunningly beautiful woman standing beside Shaohua. They trusted her implicitly.

“To break all Shackles, it’s indeed very difficult under normal circumstances. You need to understand where each Shackle is and endure the trials of time.

However, you are fortunate. The mother planet is reviving, and time does not hinder progress here. One year of cultivation here is equivalent to ten years elsewhere, or even more.

Additionally, the simplest method is to use sacred herbs for baptism, which can break all Shackles at once, very thoroughly. However, you must endure the process without dying!” Yaoyao said with a smile.

“I can endure!” Yellow Bull was determined.

They had obtained the remaining Peaches of Immortality, Ginseng Fruits, and Cinnabar Fruits from the Fengshan Site, which were perfect for this use.

“However, sacred herbs are limited and may not be enough for all of us,” Big Black Bull sighed.

“Don’t worry. This is the Kunlun Mountains, and the Queen Mother of Heaven is here. Even the Peaches of Immortality from the original root can be obtained. It’s not a problem!” Chu Feng pointed at Shaohua, full of confidence.

Yaoyao’s expression was a bit strange, her beautiful eyes flashing. She wondered, could her cheap teacher-grandmother really be the legendary Queen Mother of Heaven?

“I am indeed the Queen Mother of Heaven,” Shaohua rolled her eyes at her small grandson, reaffirming it one last time. Then, she looked at the Kunlun Beast Kings and said with a faint smile:

“However, the sacred herbs and Divine King Herbs in the Ten Thousand Gods Homeland must be obtained by you. I will guide you, but don’t let me down, little ones.”
