The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 500: Fight or Not?

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

There were clear skies for tens of thousands of kilometers and green seas as far as the eyes could see.

It was originally quite calm over the where the sea and sky merged into a single line over the horizon, but now it was surging as massive waves crashed into the island.

For a moment, flower petals filled the sky and the red patterns upon those peach blossoms seemed to have been stained with blood.\!

Four entities were rushing over the surface of the sea and they were fairly easy to differentiate. One was wearing a silver armor, one a black golden armor and the other a bronze armor while the final one was clad in golden armor. They each held heavy weapons like dagger axes, halberds, spears, etc.

The four were fairly ostentatious and their eyes were like lightning. Their long hair flew wildly in the air; some possessed lustrous purple hair and some were black. All of them were emitting terrifying auras.

Xilin clan, a clan from earth back then. There were humans among them and also those from other races because, back then, they were an army and not an actual race.

Doubtlessly the quality of this army's soldiers was excessively strong. It was said that even the notorious heavenly knights were not their equal and were suppressed all the way.

Unfortunately, they betrayed earth in the end. Their cold dazzling spears were used to pierce their allies' backs. Their frosty dagger-axes were used to reap the heads of the veterans who were recuperating after the difficult battles.

"Chu Feng, get here!"

A loud shout exploded on the island like a clap of heavenly thunder as the four approached. They stood atop the sea, their metallic combat suits incomparably cold.

The man in black golden armor stood at the fore with his spear raised. He pointed the weapon at Chu Feng and cast him disdainful a sidelong glance.

Anyone with any degree of bravery would be angered after seeing such an attitude and wouldn't try to run away from battle.

Chu Feng's chest rose and fell in anger. He had long since found it hard to resist the urge to kill those from the Xilin clan. He didn't want to debate with such people and only wanted to sweep through them.

Boom!

Chu Feng took a single step out and arrived several kilometers away. The peach garden on the island disappeared as he stepped onto the sea amidst a surge of white waves.

The Xilin clan, in his eyes, were cruel and unscrupulous people. Even though he had been restraining himself as much as he could, now that their younger generation was so domineering, he simply couldn't help but feel his blood boil with anger.

"I told you this native won't run. He's become arrogant and conceited in the recent days and has probably gotten used to all the success. He'll definitely fight it out with you since you provoked him a little bit by telling him to get over here."

The silver armored man smiled indifferently and only shot Chu Feng a sidelong glance before continuing his conversation with the young man in black gold armor.

"What? Are you angry? In truth, all of you people on this planet are mixed breeds in the eyes of our Xilin clan; all of you are despicable bugs. This was our planet and only we have the right to live here. What are you lot? You've long since lost the orthodox bloodline!"

The young man in black gold armor spoke cold, harsh words. He was disdainful of everyone on earth and this gave him a sense of superiority.

"I'm called Li Chengfeng!" He introduced himself. His dense long hair fell to his waist and his body was muscular and strong. The armor on his body glowed with a black light and the spear in his hand gave off a dark chill.

At this time, not to mention Chu Feng, all of the other evolvers on earth were angered.

Many powerful sea beasts in the Eastern Sea had appeared roaring on the surface of the ocean, kicking up hundred meter tall waves.

"Noisy!"

Li Chengfeng shouted and stomped down fiercely, causing the surface of the sea to explode. A black ripple extended from below his feet and caused a mist of blood to surge on the distant ocean surface.

This person was very strong!

Just like that, he looked down on all the evolvers of earth. He was even more disdainful of Chu Feng and treated him completely like a prey to be hunted.

Chu Feng finally opened his mouth. He wasn't addressing the four people here, but directly challenging Wei Heng, the number nine under the starry skies.

"Wei Jun Tuo Egg, I, Chu Feng, will challenge you. Aren't you number nine under the starry skies? Let's meet on the Origin Beast Platform. I shall beat you into a Wei-Nine-Egg at the same level!" [1]

The starry skies turned silent after such a word came out.

The Origin Beast Platform went silent and no one could speak anymore. No one had expected that Chu Feng would actually challenge the supreme saint Wei Heng!

Just what kind of identity did the rank nine under the starry skies possess? He was a true heavenly talent of the generation!

He was someone even the top-ten planets might not be able to nurture!

Even earth, in its most glorious era, had produced only three such young characters and its resplendent state with numerous talented people could not be reproduced again.

"Say again? You actually dare challenge a saint? You know not life from death!" Li Chengfeng spoke with a cold expression. As he saw it, Chu Feng's words were a complete disgrace.

"Wei Jun Tuo Egg, do you dare or not?!" Chu Feng shouted again.

The next moment, the Origin Beast Platform simply exploded with boiling commotion. A carefree realm cultivated was challenging a saint. It was earth-shattering!

Even though they would be fighting each other at the same level, it was simply unimaginable because just what kind of level was a saint? Even though the arena would suppress their cultivation, their methods and experience weren't something a young genius could compare to. They were inherently unbeatable!

"I can't do anything to you in reality, but on the Origin Beast Platform, I will definitely kill you. Wei Jun Tuo Egg, do you dare take up the challenge?!"

Chu Feng shouted loudly once again and shook the Origin Beast Platform.

This was great news material. Within an instant, Chu Feng's name spread rapidly like wildfire and those with other intentions promoted this incident even more.

"Nine under the heavens, appointment or not?!" Someone arranged the title in an ambiguous way like this.

But one had to say that Chu Feng's first announcement, this challenge, caused huge tidal waves and shook the entire starry skies.

"As expectedly of someone being nurtured by Yaoyao Becomes Immortal, no matter what his strength is like, his boldness is still commendable. If he can truly be as brilliant as Yaoyao was back in the day, it would be heaven-defying!" Someone sighed.

On the Eastern Sea, Li Chengfeng, the man in black golden armor was looking on with sinister eyes. He had actually been ignored by Chu Feng—the other party had been challenging the supreme saint all this time.

"Mixed blood descendant, why don't you look at your identity first? Fight with a saint? What are you imagining? Dream on! Meanwhile, I'm here to kill you!" Li Chengfeng shouted.

At this moment, he stepped forward with his blacks pear in hand. He erupted with a frightening black light as he stepped on the surface of the sea.

"I've heard of this name Li Chengfeng. He's an extremely famous genius of the Xilin clan." Someone whispered.

Everyone on the island was moved. The Xilin clan wasn't like any normal clan because they possessed wonderful talents and is known to be one of the clans with the best genes!

Given enough time, they would definitely rise to power.

In truth, many people were guessing that earth's brilliance back in the year was because the races were overly talented.

The Xilin clan was only a single branch and they were already so powerful. This went to show how flourishing earth was back then.

Li Chengfeng was a top-grade talent among them and, doubtlessly, he was incomparably powerful.

Chu Feng was fairly cold as he said, "I shall start with you and kill off all of the Xilin clan's geniuses and slap Wei Heng's face. Didn't he say he'll destroy me? If he doesn't take action himself then I'll kill whoever comes to me. Let me declare right here and now that I shall beat that number nine in the starry skies into a Jun Tuo Egg!"

At this moment, Jun Tuo was fairly distressed. That was because he had completely ignored that little native in the recent days, but he was being slapped time and again on the face.

"A descendant of a failed bloodline should be destroyed in order to purify the mother star. Only then it'll be suitable for us to return!" Li Chengfeng shouted as he transformed into a beam of black lightning and charged over at Chu Feng.

Clang!

On the island, the bronze broadsword on Yuan Mo's back emitted a crisp sound as it was directly drawn out by Chu Feng and appeared in his hand.

Yuan Mo coughed up a mouthful of blood. He had just recovered when he saw his weapon being snatched away for battle. He felt that his existence was simply too insignificant.

No matter what, he was still a rare genius who had hunted down an entire planet on his own. But today, he was simply too miserable.

Clang!

On the surface of the sea, Chu Feng slashed the bronze broadsword at the black halberd amidst an eruption of blinding lights. Waves rose into the sky within an instant as brilliant energy exploded within their midst.

Li Chengfeng wore a cold smile on his lips as his body surged with black light. The black spear in his hand emitted an intimidating sinister gleam and almost seemed to have come from hell. It rose explosively like a poisonous snake and thrust towards Chu Feng's heart.

Clang!

Chu Feng waved the sword to engage in battle.

It had to be said that Li Chengfeng was truly powerful. He had far surpassed those like Zi Luan and Zhan he. The spear in his hand was like a bolt of black lightning, poised to tear the sky apart. It surrounded Chu Feng with majestic and peerless amounts of energy.

Just within this moment, their weapons had clashed hundreds of times.

Chu Feng had never learned systematic swordsmanship—he merged his fist intent into the broadsword, bolstering himself with his terrifying speed and physical strength which was almost peerless among those of the same level. Now that they were clashing intensively, he wasn't at a disadvantage at all.

Li Chengfeng's eyes were cold. He knew at a glance that Chu Feng came from an unorthodox background. However, he indeed possessed extraordinary fighting talent to able to fight on par with him at this level.

"Dragon Lance Shakes the Nine Heavens!"

Li Cheng's momentum shifted greatly. He was suffused with arcs of electricity and the black spear in his hand exploded with blinding black light. In the end, it left his hand and shot towards Chu Feng like a flood dragon.

Chu Feng moved sideways, but the spear seemed to have awakened with sentience. It emitted a draconic cry and chased after Chu Feng in the form of a black flood dragon.

Additionally, the black spear condensed lightning in the air and thrust towards Chu Feng amidst a thunderous boom. It was as though lightning had descended from the heavens.

This was the Xilin clan's spear technique from the past. What Li Chenfeng had displayed was no longer just pure spear technique, but he had also derived the divine ability from within it!

Clang clang clang…

The bronze sword in Chu Feng's hands glowed brightly and erupted with energy. His attacks all hacked at the flood dragon to block that lethal strike.

At the critical juncture, he used an absolutely terrifying power to forcefully beat the black spear back into its original form. It was no longer a flood dragon.

Apparently, Li Chengfeng had also borne a huge load in order to activate the divine ability from the spear technique. He staggered backwards.

Bang!

Chu Feng caught the black spear in his hand and thrust back in reverse. He pierced through Li Chengfeng while he was overloaded and weak, resulting in a flow of fresh blood.

With a swoosh, Li Chengfeng transformed into a bolt of black lightning and escaped at the critical juncture. His body was drenched in flowing blood, but he had extricated himself from the dangerous situation.

"Kill!"

He was furious. He had actually been wounded under public eyes.

Chu Feng's eyes were cold. This person was indeed powerful and he had only been able to pierce the enemy only after hundreds of moves. He was much more difficult to deal with compared to ordinary divine sones and saintesses.

The Xilin clan was indeed terrifying.

"Mixed blood descendant, come and try again. This is my solar fist! There was once a famous fist technique manual on earth, a must-learn for direct descendants. Do you know it? As an entity of this planet, you don't even have any inheritances. Who are you to discuss orthodox lineages? Kill!" Li Chenfeng shouted.

He was the most powerful genius of a generation. How could he lose to a native? Li Chengfeng's hair danced in the wind and his eyes were frosty as he erupted with all his might.

Within the blink of an eye, his fists surged with black light as though a black sun was moving along to blasted Chu Feng.

"I don't know this fist art, but so what? For instance, you lot set yourselves up as a purebloods, but that's not worth a far when your brains are all empty. You no longer belong to this star and are no different from the bloody executioners who invaded this place. Right now, I can still beat you black and blue all the same without knowing this Solar Fist. I am still a descendant recognized by the will of this planet! Come, so-called orthodox lineage!"

Chu Feng threw away the sword and spear to fight bare-handed. His energy circulated decisively and with extreme ferocity.

Boom boom boom…

Li Chengfeng was very powerful, but he was beaten until blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth under Chu Feng's tyrannical fist seals and terrifying energy forms.

He was also brandishing his energy form, a black lotus. It was fairly powerful and incomparably sturdy, capable of blocking Chu Feng's coarse stone balls for a time.

But he couldn't hold on in the end.

Boom boom boom!

Chu Feng blasted nine fists upon him in succession and tore him to pieces. Thus did a great genius of the generation die and turn into a bloody rain.

"Jun Tuo Egg, do you dare fight me?" Chu Feng challenged once again.

...

[1] This humor is almost impossible to translate. Remember that the insult "cuckold" or "bastard" is written as Wang-Eight-Egg. (Wang Egg also means turtle.) Jun Tuo was a turtle so he used Jun Tuo Egg as a substitute for Wang-Eight-Egg. Then he said he would beat Wei Heng into a Wang-Nine-Egg, which doesn't actually have a specific meaning.
