Chapter 690: Overlord Chu, Yaoyao's Grandfather

A huge terrifying hand with black hair grown all over and hook-like nails suddenly patted Chu Feng's shoulder.

Naturally, he knew who it was: a demonic corpse from Mount Zhijin's underground. This wasn't the first time he had met it.

On Chu Feng's first time coming here, a huge black hand had appeared after he had aroused this region. A metal chain was tied upon it, and it had abruptly slammed out from the ground.

At that time, the heavens fell and the earth cracked. Even the problematic girl's grandfather, the Blue Mountain Daoist, who had an impressive background, was so scared that he had fled in defeat.

Besides, after that, Chu Feng had once come here to refine medicines. He had also personally witnessed the sizeable black hand and used it to inflict serious damage on Mu Qing the maid of the imperial prince, who had been harboring indecent thoughts on Lin Naoi when they were on the star passages at Mount Lao.

He already knew that there was a corpse in the ground close to becoming a demon.

He had cultivated medicine a couple of times and ultimately had gotten by safely without anything bad occurring. Who would have thought that he would meet one today with it blocking him inside the "Eight Trigrams Furnace".

"Brother, we are related by blood and were family in the ancient times!" Chu Feng's smile looked more unsightly than his crying. He was trying his best to act affectionate and said, "My close brother, your blow was too heavy. Your grabbing hurts, let me go first."

This enormous hairy hand was as big as a cattail-leaf fan. Without doubt, it was smaller than when it was coming out from the ground. It was probably using some sort of trick then.

The hand was bone-penetratingly ice-cold. Yin qi rustled through one side of Chu Feng's body as a cold breath poured into his organs.

"Ou!"

He was responded to with a deep and low howl. It shook Chu Feng's ears, which rang with a drone, and he was dazed. He thought his shoulder would break open from its grip.

Now, many evolvers had also arrived to the area on the outskirts of Mount Zhijin. There was a spell of suspicion as they too heard the roar from the underground, and suddenly, they were visibly uneasy.

Chu Feng was extremely distressed yet couldn't remain quiet. He was truly afraid that he would be ripped apart. This monster from the distant past was evidently extraordinarily ferocious.

"My dear brother, you need to control yourself. Don't be impulsive, think attentively. We are a family, but your memories might be fuzzy. Hurry up and recall the old affairs from when you were alive."

At the same time, he turned around carefully and slowly, watching him closely.

In fact, behind him was a stone wall not far away. This was also considered as the Eight Trigrams Furnace's wall. The black arm had emerged from the stone wall but hadn't damaged it.

Then he saw a face come into view from the stone wall noiselessly. There was no cracks but a black head covered with dead hair made its way out of it.

This was probably a wall-passing technique as it didn't damage the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The head was quite large with spots of bloodstains on it. The face was blanketed by dark hair so much that one couldn't even see its eyes as the long hairs covered the face.

His white and chilling teeth were exposed only when he opened his mouth and it made other dizzy and terrified looking at them. The average person would've already fainted from fear.

This was an expert with inconceivable strength that surpassed a golden ahrat's!

In particularly, the indescribable aura inside his body surged with his every movement and the metal chain on his body shone. It became a mark and held him back.

There were lots of metal chains on his body, densely packed together. The hundred or so chains locked up many parts of his body.

There was no way to exude the energy within his body. Were this not the case he would've been even more dreadful. If he managed to break the locks there would probably be a major disaster.

"Ou!"

The demonic corpse let out a low roar and lifted Chu Feng toward his big mouth. Two sanguineous beams appeared through the black hairs on his face as his scarlet eyes opened.

Chu Feng was terrified and shouted, "My dear brother, I'm not tasty and my flesh is poisonous. If you want to eat, I'll go fetch you some fresh meat. What's more, how much meat am I? I'll hunt an elephant or a dragon for you."

The demonic corpse sniffed at his body as if he really was going to consume him. This sent shivers through Chu Feng's body and he couldn't quite tolerate it. He wanted to take out the little bit of bright reincarnation flames that was remaining inside the stone box.

Meanwhile he also wanted to use the Reincarnation Blade in a life and death struggle with this monster.

After the roar of the demonic corpse, a vague noise sounded from his throat. Had Chu Feng not recently polished his common sense he wouldn't have heard it.

This was a universal common language. The pronunciation was merely a little ancient but it was classified as an archaic language.

He knew that the creatures on ancient Earth had probably used this universal common language too, as well as Earth's own unique language.

"Food." Soon afterward, the demonic corpse opened his mouth once again. His diction was blurred and indistinct as he spoke using the Earth's archaic language.

Chu Feng was exulted in his heart. It wasn't that this monster couldn't understand him and it seemed that it could understand his words. Chu Feng was dreading that it had completely lost its mind.

"Well, I'll hunt for you when you let me go."

Slowly, the demonic corpse released his grip. Chu Feng moved his shoulder blades about; he was truly in pain. This ancient monster possessed terrifying strength and who knew what realm he had reached when alive.

"Now, I'll go and help you find some food." Chu Feng fell back and the other was rather unresponsive. Chu Feng leapt out of the cave, then he charged out of this region as fast as lightning.

Nearby there were many creatures spying on him secretly. They could only see a figure whiz by. It was too quick so they couldn't clearly see the face at all.

"Who was that?"

"Demon Chu used to refine medicine here. It's not him is it? We ought to report that to the saint children in the Eastern Sea!"

"Didn't Demon Chu advance into the starry skies? It probably isn't him. We should observe for a bit first so as to avoid getting blamed by the higher ups for misleading information."

Far away, Chu Feng had already stopped. He sneered after hearing their words. These enemies knew him fairly well to be somewhat on guard of him refining medicine here.

Since this was the case it didn't matter if he was courteous or not and he prepared to attack these people.

Originally he had wanted to leave directly and no longer take the risks. Yet he was perturbed because he didn't have the time to put away the pills he had refined.

"Since the demonic corpse released me, this means that we could interact and further communicate. Perhaps I could make him one of us too as a real... brother."

Chu Feng wore an odd expression. This true brother was extraordinarily valiant. If he really could keep him by his side and help him escape from his trap, he was bound to be useful.

He opened his Fiery Eyes and looked at the true forms of the creatures close to Mount Zhijin. Indeed there were mammoths and black wolves, as well as fire lizards. Of course there were also human evolvers.

Nothing more could be said. Chu Feng began his fatal attack.

Since they didn't have any positive feelings towards him then there was no need for him to be lenient. Chu Feng killed the saint children's subordinates and tossed their bodies away. The skinned the others and brought them into the cave.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was too small. These mammoths and fire lizards were too big and didn't fit inside it.

However, it was at this moment that the sound of an iron chain shaking came through. The Chu Feng noticed the mammoth had shrunk. In the end, it had become as big as a roast chicken and it fell into the cave.

The hundred-meters long fire lizard and the tens-of-meters tall black wolves also decreased in size. They all became as big as a fist and fell into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Chu Feng's eyes grew wide. He was accustomed to the big hand created from energy, but this was the first time he had witnessed a shrinking technique at close quarters. This was absolutely an ancient mighty power!

Chu Feng jumped into the cave and saw the mammoths, fire lizards and so on lying on the ground. Their forms were stabilized. Some were as big as roasted chickens, while others were smaller than a clenched fist as they were strewn across the ground.

"My dear brother, I'll roast them for you. There's no need to hurry in eating them!" Chu Feng said. He was awfully eager and enthusiastic as he wanted to learn the wonderful technique used just a moment ago.

This trick was incredibly similar to the legendary transformation technique, but something was not quite right about it. He didn't see the demonic corpse spread his fingers or wave his sleeve and so he was dubious. He must've met an almighty domain researcher as it was a scene to behold someone to working the rivers and mountains in such a way while controlling a small area, including the state of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

This was because he had seen the inheritance from the moon. Domain researchers obtained such techniques once they reached a certain level.

Except there were no detailed records of this sort of near-divine technique. They only mentioned that when one's domain accomplishments are high enough, their abilities would surge and great techniques become evident.

Then, Chu Feng activated his domain, causing the sparks in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to jump about. It would be great for barbecuing those powerful beasts and soon the smell of meat assailed their nostrils.

"Dear brother, come and have a try of my cooking." In the past Chu Feng was a foodie so now he still carried pans, bowls, ladles and pots with him, as well as various condiments. These included spices, salt, honey and so on. He coated them onto the roasted meats, which were glossy and golden with juices dripping from them. They looked rather tasty.

"Not bad."

To his surprise the demonic corpse uttered these two words while eating the mammoth. The beast, which was originally hundreds of metres long, was now really a roasted chicken as he tore it apart to eat.

As for the dark wolf and the fire lizard, he swallowed them with one bite. The demonic corpse ate the pile but it was still not enough and he finished it all.

While he was doing so Chu Feng placed the differently-colored pills on the ground into his jade jar. These were medicines for evolution and would allow the black yak, Ouyang Feng and the others to advance.

"Brother, do you still remember your own name?" asked Chu Feng. He was worming his way and befriending him as he really wanted to learn the method used just then.

The demonic corpse shook his head and the scarlet brilliance in his eyes dimmed slightly.

"My name is Chu Feng. People call me the Demon Chu. How could one not have a name; let's call you Overlord Chu." Chu Feng's eyes were glittering.

The demonic corpse didn't say anything when he heard this. His body was very cold after he had forced his way through the stone wall and he didn't have the spirit.

Just how thick-skinned was Chu Feng? He was directly ranking him as his comrade, calling him a sworn brother and naming him as Overlord Chu.

"From now on, we'll make a comeback as Demon Chu and Overlord Chu. We'll kill the golden arhats and saints from the outer realms. They'll be stricken with terror and scared out of their wits. What a joy! Brother, come with me!" As he said this Chu Feng was already preparing to traffick humans.

He thought that this must be an ancient exceptionally talented evolver with incomparable divine abilities. Even with the golden chain on his body tying him into a dumpling he was still so ferocious. How formidable must he have been in the past?

"Can't... leave." The demonic corpse began to speak using the Earth's ancient language, but it was rather fuzzy.

Chu Feng's heart moved and he said, "I'll help you. Let me have a look what's underground. Perhaps I can get you out using my domain techniques."

Unexpectedly, the demonic corpse didn't decline him. This showed that he wasn't too deranged. He grabbed Chu Feng and then, with a flash, buried into the stone wall and entered the underground.

During this, they passed through a terrifying area which was rustic and scathing with flames. They came to the earth's core where there was an area similar to the void of the universe. There were many stars lined up and the sight was strange to behold. The moving river of stars massively shocked Chu Feng!

In the void was a coffin seemingly formed out of numerous stars. Lustrous and splendid, it was rather mysterious as it gave off primal chaos qi!

"My... real corpse is inside there," said the demonic corpse.

"Oh, your real corpse? Then you are?"

"I regenerated from a blood source to become reincarnated," the demonic corpse told him.

Chu Feng's head was swimming. He had truly encountered an almighty. It was unbelievable that there was someone like him on Earth!

Magical golden chains were densely entwined around the star-speckled coffin. Chu Feng's eyes were fixed. He suspected that the thickest chain was forged out of cosmic gold!

This was because his bracelet was also made of this material. It was a cosmic gold bracelet that he had seized from the Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengxian!

This material was heaven-defying and was only used to lock the coffin.

"The chains are like living organisms; they can grow. I am locked too," the demonic corpse said.

"This place is quite heaven-defying!" Chu Feng spend a while studying it to find his own methods were inferior. He simply couldn't do anything about this area, nor had any idea how to approach the coffin.

The mysterious aura spilling out from it was almost tearing his body apart.

"Brother, you should teach me some skills, such as the transformation technique you used just then? When I grow stronger I'll come and rescue you."

"You can't learn my techniques. You have to be a Luo Han Guo evolver." The demonic corpse's words weren't too clear but Chu Feng could still understand him.

Chu Feng pondered this. The demonic corpse's background was indeed formidable. The requirements for his methods and techniques were too high.

But Chu Feng's trip today was not unworthwhile as he had met an ancient almighty. If there were any misfortunes in the future perhaps he could draw him onto his own side to turn him into a ferocious helping hand.

"Brother, I'll come visit you often in the future. I still have something to do today. Farewell."

In the end they departed from the Earth's core.

Then Chu Feng ran. He jumped out of the cave and tried to rush towards Mount Eternal.

When he had flown far away, he heard the demonic corpse's voice muttering to himself. "Apparently I... have a granddaughter called Yaoyao. Who am I?"

Chu Feng staggered midair and he almost fell head first into the ground.

His countenance grew bitter. Was this the same Yaoyao?

He felt weak in his heart. If Yaoyao found out he called the demonic corpse his brother, she would probably beat him to death!
