The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 562: Capturing a Saint Alive

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng controlled the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique and was respiring energy at this moment. He was breathing from his body all the way to his spirit. A white mist diffused out from his body as if an immortal being was being born!

On the other side, golden radiance poured from the saint Luo Hong’s pores as he used the Deity Breathing Technique, exchanging his energy with that from the air. His body and spirit were almost immortal as he transformed into a deity. His entire being was exceptionally dazzling with a golden radiance.

Bang!

The collision was like the collapse of heaven and earth and an explosion occurred in the woodlands on the outskirts of Kunlun. Earth and rocks tumbled down like a tsunami, wrecking the surface of the earth. Waves rolled up one after another, reaching 900 meters high.

The ancient trees were uprooted, crumbling and mixing in with the earth and soil in the air. Some of the mountains in the distance broke open, revealing black horrifying fissures. In the end, these too collapsed.

Their first attack had already created such terrifying scenes. The woodlands outside of Mount Kunlun were destroyed. The waves of earth and rocks undulated even more ardently than the ocean, dissipating and tearing the distant wooded mountains into pieces when they beat down onto them.

This was the impact between two ultimate breathing techniques. It elevated them to their most powerful form and revealed their tremendous strength. The first match created a sight resembling doomsday.

During this, Chu Feng’s scroll came into view and enveloped his body.

Meanwhile, behind Luo Hong, a broken universe and hundreds of weapons also emerged. All of the weapons were pierced upon the broken planets and there was a heinous aura or death.

The scrolls stood against each other, this time without colliding.

It couldn’t be denied that the saint’s blood essence was extremely astounding. Not only was it nourishing Luo Yi’s body and regenerating his severed limbs, but it was also reconstructing his torn divine scroll.

This was also the peak matchup between the two individuals. They didn’t hold back their punches and were doing everything they could. One was desperate to kill his opponent while the other wanted to capture his enemy alive.

Crash!

Their scrolls unfolded out as the two parties confronted each other.

The supreme divine scroll used blood and qi as the paper and spirit as the paint. The saint Luo Hong had cast just enough blood essence and willpower to help Luo Yi recover and mend his ruined scroll.

“Roar!”

As Luo Hong brandished his fist a second time, a monstrously fiendish taotie appeared in front of his fist. It disclosed its true form, showing fangs looking like broad knives when it opened its mouth. Its gaze was cold; it wanted to gobble up the entire world.

The power of the Tao Tie Fist had increased substantially in Luo Hong’s hands compared to when Luo Yi was using it. His comprehension and understanding of the martial art were much greater than that of Luo Yi’s.

A part of the skies rumbled as if it were about to collapse, stifled by the huge armored taotie, which preceded the punch, and its twinkling metallic radiance. The sight was rather intimidating.

This was the martial art of divine beasts. It was incredibly complicated and mysterious, and the average person simply wouldn’t be able to practice it. It required the utmost innate talents.

Although this was indeed a unique wondrous technique, the Deity race had obtained this ancient precious book by plundering!

Rumble!

Where Chu Feng stood a purple mist filled the air. It was like the birth of a saint, and the mist drifted across dozens of miles. He was meeting his enemy head-on with the Eastern Purple Cloud Fist, one of Earth’s ancient fighting techniques, paired with the resonance technique.

Bang, bang, bang...

Luo Hong’s divine beast martial arts, the Tao Tie Fist, intertwined with Chu Feng’s punches. Thousands of beams of light burst forth from their brief interaction, and the two continued to throw out their punches.

Finally, they were both gasping hard. The webs between their fingers were cracked, trickling with translucent blood. Intense energy brilliance seeped out of their wounds.

“Luo Yi, the members of our race have spoilt you. You didn’t visualize our race’s supreme Deity Physique and instead learned a divine beast martial art. Even your visualized object is the same.”

Luo Hong was communicating through spirit waves. Clearly, he was as conceited as before. He was still calm and steady, finding time to talk to Luo Yi the young god.

Inside that body, Luo Yi was wrought with complicated emotions. The saint from his race had descended from the outer realms today, coming here in person to help him eliminate his enemy. This made him rather uneasy.

At the same time, he was incredibly ashamed, especially when his eyes met with Chu Feng’s. He grew more and more annoyed. It was truly the shame of his life to be fighting like this.

Bang!

The next moment, Luo Hong put his visualization-leveled methods into use, and a kunpeng emerged. From Kun to Peng, a fish jumped up into the air and transformed into a big golden roc with glowing feathers. A divine golden mist illuminated the sky as if it was tearing apart the universe. It possessed a ferocity beyond compare.

The kunpeng fused together with Luo Hong. Wings emerged on his back as he was about to transform into an exceptional divine bird. The next instant, the taotie appeared again and fused with him as well.

“You monster!”

Far behind the front line, Zhou Quan and the others cried out in alarm.

Throughout the starry skies, many grew apprehensive. This was a technique used by the Deity race. Through visualizing divine beasts and auspicious animals before fusing them together with one’s own body, one could dramatically increase their strength.

However, more than half of the direct descendants of the Deity race in every generation would visualize the Deity form.

Now, Luo Hong’s control over this body was becoming rather terrifying. The body grew sharply and now resembled a great lofty mountain.

At the moment, he possessed part of the tao tie’s body. When he opened his mouth wide he looked like he could swallow all living things. Simultaneously he had the wings of the kunpeng. Dazzling and golden, he could practically overturn the heavens. Furthermore, he had golden roc talons and could break down great mountains with a light scratch.

“Not bad. Pretty good for fighting, ” Luo Hong commented through spirit waves as before. Nevertheless, he didn’t hide it from Chu Feng as he was extremely confident.

Facing such a tremendous creature, Chu Feng’s pupils contracted slightly. He felt immensely pressured as he still hadn’t decided what to visualize.

Then, Luo Yi was greatly moved. He had once tried to visualize a taotie, as well as a kunpeng as his race carried diagrams of these two races’ true forms. Back then, they had seized them through savage means to get a good starting place. However, he failed to merge the two together. This monster at present was completely brought about through the saint Luo Hong’s methods, and it made him rather apprehensive!

“Oh, don’t tell me you’ve only just entered this realm and haven’t yet found your object of visualization?” Luo Hong looked down on Chu Feng before attacking a bang. He simply didn’t care about Chu Feng. His great kunpeng claws swatted at him and a golden brilliance erupted. At the same time, his taotie mouth opened up as if to swallow the entire world.

The energy here was seething and intense. The woodlands were entirely submerged and became terrifying dangerous areas.

“What should I visualize?”

Time seemed to stand still as various scenarios surfaced in Chu Feng’s heart. It was as if time had halted and under such a miraculous state, he was enlightened.

“Visualize every manifestation of the world of mortals, the great changes of an era, the chaos of the world, the rise of overlords, and the illumination of the heavens.”

“Visualize time slipping away, the changes over the years, the evanescence of worldly affairs and the eternity of time.”

“Visualize life within the universe, the alternation between prosperity and decline, and the death of the world.”

Finally, Chu Feng sighed lightly. He was observing and emulating everything, taking them all in for his own use and merging them into his own body. He didn’t feel there was a need to visualize a set person or object.

Bang!

Chu Feng rushed forth, tearing through time. He dashed out from some sort of a frozen state of mind and aligned with reality once again. In an instant, his eyes glittered as he stared fixedly at the monstrous being.

He used his Robbery Induction breathing technique to study the other party. In a split second, a monster emerged behind him, created from a combination of a kunpeng and a taotie. A rumble sounded and the atmosphere became even more terrifying. He then went to face his enemy.

Of course, he also put his own supreme scroll to use. This was because he was only visualizing and it was sure to be imperfect. He would lose out if he was indeed to fight relying solely on visualizing things.

Luo Hong’s eyes were petrified. In just a split second, his enemy had, to his surprise, imitated him and visualized his current form. How extremely daring!

Bang!

A violent explosion energy occurred when the two collided. In the region, woodlands blew up while many of the mountaintops overturned. The radiance was most glaring.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Chu Feng approached nearer with brilliant lights and vibrant colors. His visualization object changed once again, this time transforming into green lotuses, whose roots were rooted within the chaos pond. They swayed and glowed, faintly discernible as they exuded a great ambiance.

Bang!

With this, he crashed into the monster!

“The Robbery Induction breathing technique! It can rob the heavens of its secrets at will!” Luo Hong was astonished. He finally realized what Chu Feng had mastered. The earth’s inheritance from the olden days had fallen into the hands of this young native.

“But it still won’t do. You visualize too casually and, with such a short amount of time, how can you compete against me!” Luo Hong was incomparably cold. He shoved past the misty green lotuses and pounced on Chu Feng.

HIs eyes exposed a desire to commit murder. This was because he could sense that this youngster would most likely become terrifying if left alone to mature, and could even turn out to be on an equal level with Princess Yao Yao from those days.

Number one under the starry sky? He absolutely couldn’t allow that!

Luo Hong threw himself forward. His aura was ominous as he also held an exceptional divine scroll apart from the monster he had visualized. That broken universe came into view, a weapon pierced upon each of the planets. Now they illuminated and followed him as he charged towards Chu Feng.

At this moment, Chu Feng could no longer hide it anymore and revealed his own scroll completely. Luo Hong was immediately stunned as this was extremely unexpected and alarming.

The top 100 stars appeared, corresponding to the group of the strongest heavenly-illuminating creatures.

Bang!

This time, a huge explosion occurred between Chu Feng and Luo Hong as they fought intensely.

Concerning this moment, Luo Hong could clearly induce that his enemy’s scroll was indestructible. It was crushing the body he had visualized and was about to gash through his own scroll.

“What a pity. You still have to die, but perhaps your body can be left behind,” He muttered to himself. These words couldn’t be heard by Chu Feng. He was communicating with Luo Yi and returned him control of his own body. Meanwhile, he himself took hold of Chu Feng’s arm with a thump. There was then a flash of brilliance as his mind and willpower dashed into Chu Feng’s body, seizing control of it to extinguish his psyche.

“Get out!!” Chu Feng’s heart sank. He had to face Luo Yi’s attacks externally and handle the spiritual seed of the saint who’d just unexpectedly barged into his body.

“Ah, not bad indeed. This body is worth collecting. I’ll kindly accept it.” Luo Hong sneered. Being a saint and joining hands together with Luo Yi in attacking Chu Feng, he was naturally fearless and held the upper hand.

“Mn? In fact, you can’t fight for long; there are fractures on the foundation within your body.” Luo Hong had a weird look on his face as he discovered a problem.

Boom!

Then, his spirit energy extended towards various parts of Chu Feng’s body. He wanted to contest for complete dominance.

However, a grim smile suddenly appeared on the corners of Chu Feng’s mouth. He abruptly prompted something within his body, and with a rumble, a twinkling black and white radiance erupted from his body. It was like the sky and the earth was turning upside down. It was horrifying beyond compare.

“Ah...” Luo Hong screamed. Even though he was the spirit seed of a saint, he still couldn’t bear this kind of crushing power. A small black and white grinding stone appeared alongside mist. It forcefully detained him, suppressing him and was about to break him down.

“How could this be? This is something very few saints could pass on and must be personally bestowed upon others for it to work. You... how did you get this in this declining land?!” Luo Hong was fearful and shocked. He truly couldn’t bear such a crushing force. The small black and white grinding stone within Chu Feng’s body was absolutely triumphant and completely suppressed him.

“I forged this myself,” Chu Feng replied indifferently, looking down at him through his spirit.

“Bang!”

In the end, Luo Hong was very decisive and severed part of his spirit, narrowly damaging himself. He rushed out of Chu Feng’s body and fled into Luo Yi’s.

He had suffered a great loss. And at this moment Luo Yi had lost his assistance and was no longer a match for Chu Feng.

Thump!

Chu Feng’s scroll unfolded. When it began to tremble, it jolted the other side’s dilapidated universe as well as the various weapons within it so much that they split open. Once again he destroyed the scroll.

Meanwhile, the monster which resembled a taotie, as well as a kunpeng, had been beaten until it was drowned in the raging resplendence. After that, it reverted back to its original form and the Deity race’s young god staggered backward. He spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In a split second, Chu Feng produced all kinds of profound magnetic tools to suppress the area. With the sound of a pop, a black magnetic crystal lance condensed a part of the divine energy and easily pierced through Luo Yi. It plucked him right up!

This was because the Luo Yi at the present moment, with his scroll ruined and his object of visualization beaten up, was severely injured. He simply couldn’t contend against him.

Luo Hong was too grief-stricken. His spirit seed was dispirited, and it was hard for him to continue fighting.

One could say that taking over bodies was Luo Hong’s greatest trump card. Under normal circumstances, if he attacked at the same time as Luo Yi and took the opportunity to seize control of Chu Feng’s body, he would certainly be able to defeat him. Hence why he was so confident and certain.

Yet who would’ve known that bursting into Chu Feng’s body was like entering a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, he was almost crushed dead by the small black and white grinding stone!

At this moment, Chu Feng felt light and invigorated. The small black and white grinding stone could even disintegrate spirit forms, producing pure spiritual energy with which to replenish his body and increase his spiritual power. It was as if he had consumed a supplement.

“Today I’ll nail you, the Deity race’s saint, with my profound magnetic lance and show everyone your true identity unmasked. Let’s see what face the Deity Race has remaining!” Chu Feng said coldly.
