"Audacious!"
Following an angry shout from the deep sea, a colossal hand stretched out from the depths, effortlessly blocking those two terrifying sword qi.
How was this possible?
Everyone present, including the various Saints, showed expressions of shock upon witnessing this scene.
Those two sword lights just now could only be unleashed by peak Great Saints in the Saint Realm. Yet this Divine Corpse blocked them with such ease. Could they really hold out until the Divine Kings arrived?
The Kunpeng Great Saint hurriedly asked, "Old Kong, where is your Wendao Academy's Divine King? You couldn't have deceived us with just a Saint, right?"
Dean Kong smiled. "Don't worry. That kid is probably just toying with the Divine Corpse."
???
The Kunpeng Great Saint looked at Dean Kong with a puzzled expression. He really wanted to say, isn't your Wendao Academy's Divine King being too arrogant? Facing an opponent of the same rank, yet playing such petty tricks.
The Saints from the other holy lands felt an indescribable familiarity with those two sword lights. Soon, the Slashing Saint Great Saint spoke up. "Old Kong, don't tell me your Wendao Academy's Divine King is the Qiankun Great Saint?"
"You guessed correctly. But now he should be called Little Feng, Divine King Qiankun."
Dean Kong said with a beaming smile, the corners of his mouth impossible to suppress even with an AK.
All the Saints present froze upon hearing this name. In their impression, Chu Feng had become a Saint less than a hundred years ago. How had he become a Divine King?
If it was Chu Feng appearing here, it didn't really matter much to them. After all, Chu Feng was originally a cultivator from the Tianxuan Continent. His family was also at the Wendao Academy. They couldn't forbid a Divine King from returning to visit his family.
But this boy Chu Feng's cultivation speed was simply too fast, right?
While the various Saints were puzzling over this, another roar came from the deep Ice Abyss sea. "This Divine King has found you."
This roar pulled Chu Yuzhi and Chu Yingjin back from their shock. The sword jade their father gave them just now hadn't worked. What exactly was going on?
In their minds, their father was the most powerful existence in this world.
Of course, the most terrified beings present were the two Demon Kings. Watching that giant hand grabbing toward the sky, their hearts nearly jumped out of their throats.
Chu Feng saw that giant hand reaching for them. He casually drew his divine sword and slashed toward it.
Clang!
This sword strike carried no earth-shattering momentum. No dharma form manifested. It was just an ordinary-looking sword strike landing on the giant hand.
"Ahh!!!"
A blood-curdling scream immediately came from the deep Ice Abyss sea.
"Shameless! Clearly a Divine King, yet pretending to be a Great Saint!!!"
Chu Feng smiled. "Fellow Daoist, as a Divine King, you attacked my two daughters who haven't even reached the Nirvana Realm. Is that considered open and aboveboard?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it spread throughout the entire Ice Abyss. The various creatures who had been trembling with fear suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of peace upon hearing these words.
The group of Saints also turned their gazes toward the sky where Chu Feng's group was. Seeing Chu Feng holding his sword with a smile as he looked at the deep sea, they finally confirmed that Chu Feng was indeed a Divine King.
No matter how far Chu Feng had walked on the Divine King path, as long as he was a Divine King, the Divine Corpse in the deep Ice Abyss today couldn't stir up any waves.
Of course, the most shocked of all were the two Demon Kings. They never imagined that the father of those two fairies was such a majestic existence. What kind of fortune had they stumbled upon to encounter such good luck?
In the deep Ice Abyss sea, the Divine Corpse naturally wasn't willing to let things end like this. But the aura emanating from Chu Feng made him wary.
However, as a Divine King, if he backed down today, wouldn't he be laughed at by the hundred races of the Ice Abyss in the future? How would he continue to make the hundred races offer tribute to him every hundred years? He spoke in a deep voice. "Junior, are you here to provoke this seat today?"
"Don't misunderstand. I came today merely to vent anger for my two daughters. If you apologize to my daughters, I can treat today's matter as if it never happened."
Since Chu Feng had come all this way, leaving without witnessing the might of a Divine King wouldn't fit his style. He said this with a playful smile.
"You are provoking this seat."
As the Divine Corpse spoke, the originally calm sea surface suddenly surged with towering waves.
With a splash, a Divine Corpse dozens of zhang tall with a human body and fish head stood upon the Ice Abyss. The moment he appeared, all living beings submitted. Even the Saints from the various holy lands couldn't help but feel an impulse to kneel and worship upon seeing this Divine Corpse.
Fortunately, their Dao hearts were firm enough that they didn't kneel.
All the cultivators facing the Divine Corpse, except Chu Feng, were petrified in place.
The oppressive pressure emanating from this Divine Corpse was something they had never seen before. Though he clearly had no vitality left, he seemed like a living being.
His hollow, pale eyes radiated supreme dignity. Just standing there, without deliberately releasing his pressure or targeting anyone, he was already the only god in this world.
Though he didn't raise his hand or make any unnecessary movements, he gave the impression that he could pluck the sun, moon, and stars from the sky with a mere stretch of his hand.
"Interesting."
Chu Feng looked at this Divine Corpse before him and took a step forward. Just such a simple step. In the eyes of the world, Chu Feng seemed to cross countless years and space, arriving before the Divine Corpse.
With just that step, the aura around him completely changed. In the previous second, he was just one of the masses in the eyes of the world. But now he was a peerless Divine King standing proudly between heaven and earth.
For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Chu Feng. The creatures of the Tianxuan Continent naturally didn't want to see Chu Feng fail. If he fell, the Tianxuan Continent might very well face a catastrophe.
"Hmph!"
The Divine Corpse let out a cold snort. The next second, his divine domain expanded, enveloping Chu Feng within it.
Chu Feng sensed the power emanating from the divine domain. With a smile, he took another step. After that step, his own divine domain spread out, completely dispersing the divine domain that had enveloped him.
He didn't stop his footsteps and continued to take another step. This time, the divine domain he emanated directly covered the Divine Corpse's divine domain.
"No... this is impossible. How could you possess two divine cores?"
Sensing the changes in the divine domain beneath Chu Feng's feet, the Divine Corpse subconsciously cried out in alarm.
"Nothing is impossible."
Chu Feng said this and continued to take the third step. Just such a seemingly casual step caused countless cracks to appear on the Divine Corpse's body. Dense black qi flew out from his corpse.
"Three... three divine cores. Which holy land's Divine King are you!"
This terrified roar from the Divine Corpse entered the ears of every cultivator present.
All the Saints went numb. They had thought this would be an evenly matched great battle. The two Divine Kings might very well destroy the Ice Abyss. They never imagined it would be a crushing battle.
"A dead man isn't worthy of knowing this seat's name."
Chu Feng took another step forward. The Divine King's body began to crumble. The divine power on his body also began to rapidly deplete.
He could have killed the opponent with a single sword strike, but he didn't do so. Instead, he wanted to use this Divine King to practice, to see how to fight with domains. Now it seemed the feeling wasn't bad.
When the fifth step landed, the Divine Corpse's body completely collapsed. Only a huge head remained floating in the sky.
At the sixth step, the Divine Corpse's head perished. A divine core emitting golden light appeared in the sky. The Divine Corpse's last trace of residual consciousness was still attached to the divine core.
When the seventh step landed, a tremendous cracking sound came from the sky. The divine core shattered. The last trace of residual consciousness attached to it also turned to dust.
Chu Feng waved his hand and collected the nine divine core fragments into his storage ring. Then he withdrew the domain around his body.
The moment his domain was withdrawn, darkness returned above the Ice Abyss. This endless, frigid darkness felt incomparably warm to the creatures of the Ice Abyss at this moment. They didn't need daylight. They only wanted this endless night.
After settling everything, Chu Feng turned and returned to his family. Chu Yuzhi asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, why didn't the sword jade you gave us work earlier, yet you suppressed that ominous being with just a few casual steps?"
"Because Father has become stronger."
Chu Feng didn't offer much explanation.
"Yay!"
Chu Yuzhi shouted with excitement and hugged her sister. In their view, as long as Father won, that was all that mattered. Father was still the most powerful existence in the world.
Chu Feng smiled. "Alright, this incident should serve as a lesson to you two little girls. In the future, don't go adventuring everywhere. If Father weren't here, you two little ones would have perished here."
"We understand."
The two little girls responded weakly. Thinking about what had just happened, they still felt lingering fear.
At this moment, several figures flew toward Chu Feng's group from the horizon...
