The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 482: Outstanding and Heroic

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng leapt down from atop the majestic mountain-like altar and swooped in for the kill.

Winds rushed past his ears as he traveled at great speed. Below him was a sea of garish auspicious lights and beams of prismatic colors—all of them were dazzling energy forms.

Doubtlessly, it was a danger zone below, but it was also extremely beautiful. The brilliant lights and vibrant colors appeared dazzling and peaceful.

Chu Feng spoke not a single word and began to utilize his own energy form in the air, revealing it to the world for the very first time.

Within moments, coarse millstone-sized rocks appeared and tumbled down one after another.

This scene was harmless without any comparison. Below him were numerous golden lotuses, Nanli Divine Flames, and rains of light, all of them alluring and resplendent. A Silver Bodhi Tree had blossomed in the silent cosmos, filling the sky with silvery light and overflowing with a divine aura.

Chu Feng was surrounded by giant rocks dancing through the air. All of them were dark and without luster, but they were perfectly round and comparable to crudely polished balls. Just like that, they rumbled down with great ferocity.

Everyone was petrified!

This was his energy body? How crude! A clear stoneslide whistled down just like that!

They had never seen such a distasteful energy form!

The group on the Origin Beast Platform was petrified.

Even the group at the scene was dumbfounded and could only stare blankly at the sky filled with churning boulders. Was this an earthquake? Was the stone material atop the altar falling off?

"How coarse! But that's also fitting of his savage style." Saintess Zhi Luan curled her lips and said with revulsed expression.

Zhu Wuque took the brunt of this impact because he was at the foremost position. He had even taken to the air to meet Chu Feng in an aerial battle.

He saw things quite clearly. Weren't they just boulders? A sinister smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and he couldn't help but want to slap Chu Feng to death. How can these millstone-sized boulders be called energy forms? They were simply too crude!

True energy forms were usually related to things containing dao runes. For instance, his energy forms were golden lotuses, swayed gently while emitting myriad golden beams. They overflowed with auspicious radiance and were accompanied by leaping Nanli Flames.

Such a scene contained the hymn of the dao and one could see at a glance that they contained astonishing levels of energy, enough to kill many experts!

It was indeed common understanding this kind of plant life was very uncommon. All races favored using it to display their energy forms, for instance, the Buddhist race's Supreme Lotus Seat and the Daoist race's Lotus of Inaction, etc.

Currently, Zhu Wuque let laughed in a sinister fashion and utilized these golden lotuses with their tens of thousands of phenomena. The torrent of prismatic brilliance filled the sky with auspicious lights as he drove the Li Flame to kill Chu Feng.

He was confident that he could shatter all the boulders and make them roll away.

Boom!

The two sides clashed.

Everyone on the Origin Beast Platform closed their eyes and simply couldn't bear to watch. They had never heard of stones containing dao runes and thus couldn't be a good energy form.

They felt sorry and regretful for Chu Feng. They weren't willing to see him meet such a miserable fate.

But the situation wasn't quite right!

Everyone blinked their eyes hoping to see clearly.

Zhu Wuque was falling back. What was this situation?!

One could see that the cruel smile on his face hadn't even disappeared. His expression was still retained in the same state, but his body was already flying back.

To be more precise he was sent flying. He was retreated calmly but was smashed away.

Millstone-sized boulders bombarded onto him, crashing into his head and face—it was simply too violent. They didn't even pause slightly and had, within mere moments, beaten Zhu Wuque black and blue. His battle armor was torn and tattered.

As for his energy forms, these resplendent golden lotuses failed to achieve immortality amidst the li flames and were pounded into paste one after another.

The number of boulders wasn't very big. Chu Feng had only used a dozen or so of them, but all of them were pushed towards Zhu Wuque. They smashed him until he was a complete mess and in unbearable pain.

Your mother! He really wanted to curse out loud!

How crude! These big unassuming rocks were outrageously sturdy and hard. His own flames and glowing lotuses were actually unable to shatter them; they were completely unmoved.

He felt quite miserable. One of his arms had been bent out of shape and was clearly fractured while defending against the incoming boulders. He had really gone all out.

Bang!

His jaw was smashed. He let out a wretched cry because his jaw had caved in and was surely fractured.

Pfft!

He spat out fresh blood along with two teeth. It was truly too miserable.

Bang bang bang!

Following which, he was struck and buried under those giant rocks. The scene was too tragic to behold. He felt that his chest was about to burst apart and it was quite obvious that many of his bones had been broken.

Crack!

His shoulder blade cracked apart, followed by an intense pain from his frontal bone. This made him panic because, if he hadn't evaded in time, that impact just now might've broken his skull.

He was congratulating himself because those energy forms didn't explode. Otherwise, he would be even more miserable—it was quite likely that his body would've been badly damaged or he might've been killed.

Even so, he couldn't take the damage and was about to be smashed to death.

It could be said that the attack was too coarse for him to handle. Such a case was unprecedented.

Behind him, the group of people was flabbergasted. What situation was this? Was Zhu Wuque acting? He couldn't ward off the boulders and had been blasted by the rolling stones until he was gushing blood from his mouth and nose. Enshrouded in scarlet radiance, his posture was heroic and outstanding when he took to the air. But now, he had been smashed down like a tattered rag.

The contrast was too great!

Most importantly, Zhu Wuque was about to die. He came that close to being smashed to death.

Swoosh!

Zhu Wuyue sued a life-saving technique at a critical juncture. His entire body emitted light as he actually flashed away from his original place and appeared several kilometers in the distance.

He was gasping loudly for air. In truth, his chest had already caved in and there were numerous leakages, all of them caused by smashing. His glowing red hair was now in a mess and clumped together after being drenched in blood all the way to his scalp.

Was this still a handsome saint child? This kind of bloody appearance was simply too wretched.

Just now, he would've been pounded into paste if he hadn't used the quasi-sage Nine Yin Sparrow's Flying Vermillion Bird technique.

Zhu Wuque's face was flushed red with anger and his body was trembling. His fate today was too miserable and had almost died under a pile of rocks.

The group of people on the origin beast platform were dumbfounded at first, but then countless people began to let out odd cries!

Things didn't end here. Everything just now had taken place in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint and the battle was still continuing near the altar.

That was because right behind Zhu Wuque was the saint child Yue Kun of the diamond ape tribe who was poised to deal a lethal blow to Chu Feng.

He had originally rushed out together with Zhu Wuque. However, the latter was fairly tyrannical and had leapt into the air in order to kill Chu Feng immediately. That was why he had arrived one step earlier.

After smashing Zhu Wuque, the hail of large boulders Chu Feng had produced continued piling towards Yuan Kun amidst a pitter-patter.

The silver bodhi was indeed extraordinary. It was a dazzling giant tree shrouded in silver radiance—all of its leaves danced in the wind and rushed towards Chu Feng in the form of a silver tempest.

But it was useless!

The huge rucks continued blasting down and broke apart the leaves which filled the sky. All of them drifted away and then exploded.

Yue Kun's excuse was sound. Every leaf of the bodhi tree was a scripture, but he hadn't reached such a level and couldn't form the outline of such a legendary painting scroll.

As for the so-called "thousand scriptures, silver flowers like snow, scriptures on the dancing leaves and one flower, one world", there was no need to even think of it. Not even the descendants of the Buddhist race, one of the top-ten races, would necessarily be able to portray it.

Thus, Yuan Kun also met a tragic fate. He was smashed until he was seeing stars and blood was gushing out of his seven orifices. He was so angry that he was about to explode.

Just within a few short moments, his entire face was flattened and had even caved in. The fractures almost caused his eyes to pop out; the other parts were even worse.

With a loud boom, not to mention to bodhi leaves, even the silvery white tree was blasted into fragments and completely split apart.

Yuan Kun let out a muffled groan—his femur had been broken and this came as a great humiliation to him. His butt was broken and mangled, almost as though a bloody flower had bloomed there.

Blood poured out as his chest and back were split open continuously with broken bones and tendons in many places. He was beyond miserable and almost completely destroyed.

Yuan Kun let out a long howl and his golden fur trembled. Within moments, the energy forms he had learnt had dissipated in an instant and their silver radiance contained.

At the juncture of life and death, he let out a loud roar as a diamond ape with surging evil intent appeared behind him. The energy form charged at Chu Feng and smashed open large boulders one after another.

This was their race's "true form" and also an energy form, a materialization his ancestors' true appearance. After being pushed to such a state, he naturally had to go all out.

Bang bang bang…

Yuan Kun's true strength was astonishing and, in terms of brute strength, he had surpassed Zhu Wuque. The true energy form of his race shook apart the boulders and cleared the space.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. The diamond ape race's saint child was truly… His race's energy form was so powerful, and yet he just had to feign elegance and use the Buddhist race's silver bodhi. Did he think it was more aesthetically pleasing?

But he wasn't the slightest bit worried. If ten planets weren't enough, he could use ten more.

Within the blink of an eye, twenty large boulders rolled down upon Yuan Kun.

This time, he could only let out a loud miserable scream. Not to mention being beaten black and blue, barely any facial skin was left at the moment and many of his bones had been broken.

With a pfft, his right arm was smashed off, followed closely by a leg. Yuan Kun roared and erupted with a mass of golden light. He utilized his ultimate life-saving move and ran back hurriedly carrying his severed limbs.

That was his race's true energy form which had been upgraded into a painting scroll. It enveloped him and escaped the battlefield. He appeared several kilometers away, not so far from Zhu Wuque.

The two of them gasped loudly and then glanced at each other as though they had just seen a ghost. How could they have suffered such a fate? It was so unusual that it was scary!

It was completely different from how they had expected it. Did they just encounter something evil?

Wolf howls rang out on the Origin Beast Platform.

"God Chu, what is that energy form? It's simply too bold and wild! Even the saint child of the diamond ape race who take pride in their constitution couldn't stand it and has been smashed witness. This is… so rough, but I like it!"

"Goddammit, a new energy form has come into being. How truly terrifying! It almost buried Zhu Wuque and the diamond ape alive!"

The Origin Beast Platform had boiled over as the group fought to place their orders.

A panicked scream came from below that altar. That was Chen Rong.

She was the next to take action right after Zhu Wuque and Yuan Kun.

At first, there was a cruel sneer hanging on the corners of her mouth. She thought she would succeed in hunting Chu Feng this time, but… what did she just see?

Fortunately, she was standing behind the two. At the critical moment, she withdrew her attack and turned to flee.

But Chu Feng hated people from Penglai greatly. Seeing that she was escaping, Chu Feng tossed out more boulders in a bid to bury her alive and turn her into meat paste.

Chen Rong took out a series of secret treasures, but all of them were broken apart by the impact, scattering bits and pieces of copper and iron all over the ground. Those whom she had brought along were fairly loyal and swarmed forth to save her.

Pfft pfft pfft…

Bloody mist bloomed in the area as Chu Feng smashed the twenty-odd people from Penglai to death, including many powerful elders.

As for Chen Rong, she was struck by a large boulder and the bridge of her nose immediately caved in. Additionally, her front teeth were all knocked out; she was in a rather miserable state.

With a bang, her right shoulder was also struck and her right arm exploded with blood spraying out everywhere. She let out a miserable cry and collapsed in the distance.

She had finally escaped to where the divine sons and saint children were.

The entire group was overcome by apprehension and could only stare blankly.

At this moment, Chu Feng who had wanted to strike a heroic pose encountered a problem. He was originally driving the large boulders around, but now his body was simply too weak and actually fell off the sky.

Damn your grandpa.

Chu Feng cursed. He had wanted to stand magnificently in the air with a cool, heroic pose, but in the end… he had fallen down!

Bang!

A large pit was formed on the ground.
