Chapter 478: Is the Performance Over?
In a vast world, numerous formidable auras soared into the sky, turning into streaks of light that raced towards all directions.
In this world, where the Yuan Qi was dense and immortal birds soared, bursts of light would often erupt in various places, evidently heralding the birth of Spiritual Treasures; truly, it was a blessed land of immortals.
At this moment, in the deepest part of this world, within an ancient and unadorned courtyard, an old man whose presence could not be detected at all suddenly opened his eyes.
“Zhou Feng?”
The old man was taken aback for a moment, as a Supreme Spirit Being communicated to him telepathically that Zhou Feng, the Qirin Child of the Zhou Family, had returned.
Sending forth a divine thought, the old man did not wait long before a young man hurriedly appeared before him.
“Great Ancestor!”
Zhou Qian was somewhat puzzled; he had been in the midst of a breakthrough to the Supreme Realm and did not understand why he had been summoned by his great ancestor.
“Zhou Qian, do you know that Zhou Feng is not dead?”
These words caused Zhou Qian’s expression to change slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Oh? Is that so? It’s great that Brother Feng is alive,” he said.
“Where is he? I’ll go and bring him back now,” Zhou Qian replied, feigning happiness, but Zhou Yan knew his descendant better than anyone else.
“Dispense with your little schemes; the current Zhou Feng is no weaker than you. It was a Supreme Spirit Being that encountered him.”
When Zhou Qian heard that Zhou Feng’s strength was said to be no less than his own, his heart was violently shaken.
Initially, although he was pleased that the Zhou Family had two Qirin Children, once he knew that the two could not coexist peacefully and that it must come down to a life-or-death struggle, he tacitly permitted Zhou Qian and his people to take action.
After all, he clearly understood the difference in value between a genius who had already grown up and a monster that had yet to develop.
What’s more crucial was that the circumstances at that time were not favorable for the Zhou Family. Another Supreme Realm being held a deadly grudge against Zhou Yan, and furthermore, the Zhou Family was also facing the threat of being besieged by many sides.
Under such conditions, a quick decision was imperative.
He could not allow a Qirin Child to become an enemy of the Zhou Family, nor did he have the resources to nurture him, and certainly not at the cost of placing the Zhou Family in a situation where the whole world would become their enemy.
Indeed, the whole world would become their enemy.
Every major power had a Qirin Child, but theirs had two. What would they do if both grew up and joined forces?
So, led by the Supreme Realm being who bore a deadly grudge against Zhou Yan, three Supreme Realm beings, along with numerous Supreme and Supreme Powerhouses, joined forces to put pressure on the Zhou Family.
As a result, Zhou Yan had no choice but to let Zhou Qian’s men deal with Zhou Feng.
At first, the major forces even intended to send people to hunt down the four who had fled into the void, but ultimately, they did not proceed.
After all, they had only previously united to exert pressure. If they had actually attacked, it would have given the Zhou Family strong warriors an excuse to target their Qirin Children in the future.
If pushed too far, Zhou Yan could sever ties with the Zhou Family, and once he targeted any of their forces, they would not be able to withstand him.
Thus, the major powers decided not to send people to pursue them.
That led to later events when Zhou Qian’s people, after witnessing Zhou Feng escaping into the void and suffering heavy losses, chose not to continue the chase.
“What!!”
“His strength is no less than mine?”
The words of his family’s elder were hard for Zhou Qian to accept.
Now, he was at the peak of Level nine Reincarnation Realm, one step away from stepping into the Supreme Realm.
Moreover, if Zhou Yan had not called him out of seclusion, he might have entered the Supreme Realm in a few years’ time.
In the years he thought Zhou Feng had been dead for a long time, relying on his Reincarnation Realm Cultivation Level, he had slain many Supreme Realm powerhouses in reverse.
He was undoubtedly the monster of the younger generation of the Zhou Family, and he was even subtly showing signs of overpowering his peers in this Chaos Space.
Yet, even so, he received information from Zhou Yan that Zhou Feng was on par with him.
How could he sit still?
It had only been a few years, after all.
“`
How could that kid have grown so fast?
He somewhat disbelieved it!
But since the elder had said it, he would not contradict it.
Moreover, the Zhou Family of today was not the Zhou Family of the past.
Back then, the Zhou Family was besieged by a host of powers, but after Zhou Feng’s fall, these powers resumed their previous cautious stance towards each other due to mutual suspicion.
Consequently, Zhou Yan’s counterattack came. Over the decades, Zhou Yan killed the Supreme Being who was his dead enemy, and two other Supreme Beings — one died and the other was crippled.
The forces that had threatened his Zhou Family in the past were now on the decline if they were strong, and the weak ones had already vanished into the annals of history.
Zhou Yan’s counteroffensive also made everyone aware that they should either crush Zhou Yan and his Zhou Family completely or, otherwise, it was best not to provoke a conflict with Zhou Yan.
Because he was an out-and-out madman.
“I know you have many grievances in your heart, but I don’t want the two of you to have a conflict now.”
Zhou Yan looked deeply at Zhou Qian and said.
“I understand, ancestor!”
“I will get along with him!”
Zhou Qian took a deep breath and slowly said, then after learning of Zhou Feng’s current whereabouts, he turned and left.
The moment he turned around, Zhou Qian’s expression was awful.
His Zhou Family could only have one monster, and he would be the strongest person in the Zhou Family in the future.
…
The Supreme Spirit Being would never have imagined that Zhou Feng would actually make a move against him, knowing that his relationship with Zhou Yan was quite good.
It was precisely because of this that he didn’t strike immediately upon discovering Zhou Feng.
However, now that Zhou Feng had attacked him, he was not planning to hold back either. After all, as a top-level Supreme Being, if he did not retaliate after being offended by a junior, it would be a laughing stock if word got out.
In an instant, the Supreme Spirit Being roared in fury, and the terrifying sound waves turned into a tangible force rushing towards Zhou Feng.
However, Zhou Feng, daring to make his move, was not afraid of the opponent.
Moreover, in his view, the opponent was even weaker than the Beast God.
The remnant soul within his body took over Zhou Feng’s body, and instantly activated the Eternal Secret Technique, causing the Supreme Spirit Being’s body to stiffen.
Immediately after, a flame began to burn from within his body.
In an instant, a blood-red flame enveloped the Supreme Spirit Being, and what was peculiar was that this flame seemed to produce no heat at all.
“Aaah~”
The Supreme Spirit Being screamed in agony.
At the same time, a disturbance was created throughout the starry sky within billions of light-years.
With the emergence of this disturbance, one could see endless blood-red flames rising.
“Aaah~ what is this, it hurts so much!”
“No, why is my body burning by itself!”
“Aaah~ this is Karmic Fire!! This is Karmic Fire!!”
“Why would Karmic Fire ignite by itself!”
Some powerhouses recognized this blood-red flame, but it was already too late.
Zhou Feng looked at Ye Feng with a crazed expression, “Have you ever heard of Karma Fire Burning Body?”
“Are you done with your performance?”
Ye Feng did not respond to Zhou Feng’s words, but simply said indifferently, the calm demeanor instantly infuriating Zhou Feng.
“You’re courting death!”
