The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 262: Continuing Restlessness

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The mountain woods were utterly destroyed as if one of the demigod giants had plowed through the region. Great dark cracks, several meters in width, were painted throughout the desolate landscape.

Blood dyed the fallen leaves red and many gigantic rocks were split open.

Chu Feng stood alone within the woods. He had killed over ten kings in a single battle, exterminating the whole lot except the Peacock King.

Such a huge incident would surely cause a huge quake if it were spread to the outside world.

He had swept through all his enemies this time like pulling out rotten weeds. Unlike last time, however, he didn’t need to flee nor was he even wounded—he simply suppressed all the beast kings with great momentum!

Most importantly, he had slaughtered a peerless marine race expert with six severed shackles.

This kind of glorious martial accomplishment was enough to shock anyone because anyone at Qian Yue’s level could be considered a top-grade expert on the continent.

Even the supposedly unrivaled Peacock King had run away without fighting.

This shook many great nations. The common folk was not yet aware, but the higher-ups had been alerted to this matter, sending great waves through their ranks.

The various nations were shocked after seeing the relevant satellite images—Mount Yunluo had been targeted by missiles and laser weapons of great magnitude as if a war had broken out therein.

"Who can tell me what happened there? Is the East waging war against the beast race? Have they developed firearms that can kill king level entities?!"

Certain European politicians were shocked quite a bit despite lacking specific data on the situation.

"Aren’t the king level entities capable of detecting danger beforehand? What are the Easterners thinking? How did they get the confidence to confront the beast race?"

The higher-ups were as puzzled as they were astonished.

They would have nothing to fear if firearms could lock onto the king level entities and exterminate them. They could directly eradicate all the terrifying divergent lifeforms and free themselves of this looming threat.

"Gentlemen, please look at the later images. There are even more terrifying scenes that, I believe, will shock you all!" said a general from the West.

He was one of the first to look through all the satellite images—what he saw completely stunned him and sent him into a daze.

"A man wholly enshrouded in bright light is killing all the king level entities there! Did this person single-handedly killed all the kings there?"

"Oh god, what am I seeing? He’s confronting over ten king level entities alone! Just how powerful is he?!"

"You’re wrong, he isn’t simply confronting them but massacring them. He killed almost all of those king level entities himself!"

"Is this a supreme warrior secretly raised by the East? No, this is a god of war sweeping through every direction. This is too terrifying!"

The Western politicians were all shocked and awed. They could hardly believe such an outrageous thing had happened.

The lifeforms that were able to survive the barrage of missiles and laser weapons were undoubtedly terrifying king level entities. But in the end, they were still slaughtered by a single person.

It was especially clear to them since they could measure the energy levels during the battle via the satellite image data.

There was a peerless expert with six severed shackles among those killed. This was a frightening that discovery caused the Western politicians to feel dizzy.

Had the east actually raised such a supreme warrior?

"How heaven-defying! They only sent a single person to deal with all the king level entities after bombarding the area with long-range weapons. What an earth shattering and one-sided battle! This is too astonishing!"

The captured satellite images showed a single person emanating radiant splendor as if he was enveloped by a golden sun. The incomparably resplendent light surrounding him made it impossible to look at him directly.

This kind of spectacle and attitude was as if a deity had descended.

Obviously, many major corporate powers with efficient news channels had already received information on such a major incident. They immediately dispatched agents, hoping to obtain first hand details.

Some major corporations even owned intelligence satellites after the post-civilization era which allowed them to swiftly understand the ongoing situation.　

But anyone who witnessed the scene felt their scalps go numb; why was this person so powerful? He was able to cross a few kilometers with every leap and rise almost a thousand meters with every jump.

This went against all convention, almost like a myth!

Mount Yunluo had completely ceased to exist after the battle.

Chu Feng stood within the mountain woods and contacted Lu Tong, reporting that the battle had ended and that everyone else was dead except the Peacock King who had fled immediately.

Lu Tong couldn’t speak for a good while after hearing the news. This was simply too fierce! This brat had turned into a reaper in such a short while.

"How many beast kings were there in total?" Lu Tong inquired.

There should be over 20 in total—some died in the initial barrage and I dealt with the rest during their escape," Chu Feng informed.

Lu Tong felt somewhat dizzy after hearing this. Over twenty king level entities had been killed in a single battle. This was a terrifying and worldshaking incident!

"You’ve broken through the firmament!" Lu Tong sighed. These beast kings were almost killed single-handedly. Even the firearms didn’t kill as many as Chu Feng did!

It wasn’t hard to imagine the great tempests that would soon arise. Who could hide such an incident? Every party was investigating this matter; even those from foreign countries could hardly sit still.

"Weren’t you always complaining about how I never leave any king level entities for you? Go and collect the spoils; I’m not gonna roast any of them this time." Chu Feng laughed.

Lu Tong suddenly became spirited after thinking of the great returns. Currently, there were certain front-ranking labs that have achieved breakthroughs in the development of medicines from king level blood.

All they lacked was fresh blood. Now, with so many king level entities dead and corpses piling into a small hill, they would make up the ideal ingredients.

Lu Tong was incomparably delighted. "Haha.. you’ve done a great service. The moment we are able to develop a medicine granting everyone swift evolution is the moment we make history."

Chu Feng told him to dispatch agents without delay.

At the same time, he told him, "I’ve crippled two human kings. Find a professional to thoroughly interrogate them. I must find out the corporate power behind them! They think I’m easy to bully; I’ll have them pay the price in blood."

Chu Feng’s words were suffused with raging murderous intent. He was truly infuriated by these people. They had repeatedly schemed against him and were even more frightening than the beast race. For example, it was these two people who tried to persuade the Peacock King to stay and kill Chu Feng together when the latter was planning to retreat.

He gave it some thought and was quite certain he didn’t have any deep hatred with these large corporations. But in the end, he was actually being targeted.

After careful reflection, everything started when a corporation urged everyone to attack him that night. Someone had apparently thought he was on the verge of dying from his wounds and worked together with the beast race to surround him and obtain the breathing technique in his possession.

These people perhaps believed themselves to have sowed irreparable enmity with Chu Feng and thus wanted to eliminate him completely.

"We never saw a single shadow of yours while fighting against the beast race and neither did you lot put in any effort during the invasion of the Eastern Punitive Expedition. But each was more ruthless than the next when it came to scheming against someone of the same race!"

Chu Feng muttered with flames burning in his eyes!

He calmed down before long and began to clean up the battlefield. The scene rendered even himself speechless—many beast kings had literally fallen apart.

He cut off the best part of the Turtledove King’s wing, one of the Sheep King’s bulky thighs and a part of the Panther King’s tendons…

The meat from these beast kings was still glowing with translucent radiance. The energy from them hadn’t yet dissipated.

Chu Feng cleaned these meats at a nearby fountain and stored them within the space bottle. This three-inch bottle gave him quite a bit of satisfaction.

Chu Feng then dug up the four bronze pillars and also cleaned them before storing them in the Pristine Jade Bottle.

Chu Feng searched carefully among what was left of Mount Yunluo. There were a number of fragmented remains belonging to beasts, birds and the like, all of which were barely recognizable.

"The young white-robed Xingyi Grandmaster wasn’t here." Chu Feng frowned. When he saw the three-eyed marine race expert here, Chu Feng had thought that the white-robed youth would appear.

"What a pity, I missed a great opportunity to kill him directly!" Chu Feng lamented.

But he wasn’t actually afraid to kill the young Xingyi Grandmaster in a fair battle!

A special corps stationed in the Jiangxi region soon arrived and sealed off the whole area. No one from the outside world was allowed to approach.

Furthermore, there were various laboratory personnel mobilized from around the Jiangxi region. They were all incredibly excited after hearing of the presence of large amounts of king level blood.

"Oh god!"

"天啊!"

Everyone, regardless of military or scientific origins, gasped involuntarily after seeing the carnage. They were all dumbfounded.

There was fresh blood and broken limbs everywhere. Gigantic beast corpses and the fragmented remains of bird kings were strewn across the place, piling up into small hills. Furthermore, the main peak had completely collapsed.

Everyone couldn’t help but revere the demonic-god-like man sitting cross-legged on the distant rocks. It was as if they had come into the presence of a terrifying deity.

"One has died?!" Chu Feng’s glare was frosty.

To Chu Feng’s great dissatisfaction, one of the two humans had actually taken his own life—he could be considered quite the resolute person—the other one was still alive, however. Luckily, this person feared death.

Chu Feng pointed a finger at him and destroyed the vital energy within him in order to prevent a similar accident. This thoroughly crippled the man.

He still hadn’t forgotten how ferocious the Ash Wolf was even with barely half his body remaining.

He removed the helmets from the two humans and revealed their true faces. He recognized none of the two middle-aged men.

"Interrogate him thoroughly!" Chu Feng told the professionals.

"Please rest assured!"

Before Long, Lu Tong contacted Chu Feng once again and complained, "Brat, even though you didn’t roast them this time, almost all of the corpses are ‘resting in pieces’! The whole area is filled with pieces of flesh and can hardly be identified!"

Chu Feng forced a laugh. "I’m still trying to control my fist technique. My control is apparently still lacking."

"What do you plan to do now? The case this time is quite big!" Lu Tong asked in a hushed voice.

"What else can I do? I feel that this commotion isn’t large enough. I’m going to move onto the various major corporations and uproot them one by one. Those that can’t give me a good explanation or those that can’t prove their innocence will all be flipped over and completely suppressed. Recently, they seem to be thinking I’m a fat piece of meat. I’ll have them pay the price!"

"Keep calm, don’t be too rash!" Lu Tong was frightened out of his wits but then he remembered one thing. "And by the way, what method did you use to make those king level entities lose their divine instinct?"

"I suppressed their divine instinct with my own."

"Nonsense, tell me the truth."

"I’ll tell you more about this when I return to Shuntina." Chu Feng immediately cut off the call. He didn’t want to hand the four pillars over to Lu Tong for study. What if it was damaged or destroyed in the process?

The news finally began to leak to the outside world that an earth-shattering battle had taken place at Mount Yunluo. This shook the whole world.

But as of now, the whole area had been locked down by the army and none were allowed to come close.

This incident caused great tidal waves and invited the attention of the whole world. All eyes were on Mount Yunluo and countless people were trying to investigate the underlying truth.
