The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 705: The World’s First Scripture

Panda Novel

Chu Feng looked like a dead tree in the lightning. He really was in somewhat of a miserable state. His body, including his face, was burnt black. When he opened his mouth, he spat out lightning. As for the surface of his body, electricity incessantly sparked in the areas that split open.

Normally, he ought to be a dead man. His vitality was seriously damaged, and from the looks of it, he wouldn’t be able to survive.

At this moment, the lightning in the sky was reaching its end and was gradually disappearing. His dim eyes immediately lit up like raging golden torches.

He knew he could withstand it. This heavenly tribulation was different from before. Its might was too great and it practically left one no way to survive. He guessed that under normal circumstances, those at the transformation realm would die and their bodies and souls would perish in their entirety.

“Mother!” He raised his head and looked at the firmament. The first sentence he said when he opened his mouth was to send a greeting to the heavenly tribulation. Such unfathomable lightning was pouring down in torrents. How could one live? Thankfully, everything was over.

Boom!

Yet when he finished his sentence, five kinds of different colored lightning bolts with borderless thickness came from the firmament. They appeared to smash down like five pillars propping up the sky as all of them struck down on his head.

Any single bolt of the five-colored lightning could kill a cloudeater evolver in an instant and could kill someone at the transformation realm even easier. In the end, they abruptly struck down all at the same time.

Bang~

Chu Feng fell from the sky and his body struck the Heavenly Fire Thunder domain. His body became stiff on the spot and black smoke emerged from his head like a black dead tree as he remained motionless.

“Brother!”

The Big black Yak, Manchurian Tiger, and the rest cried out loudly in fright from the main gates of Mount Eternal. Their hearts almost leaped out of their throats.

They ran out like a swarm of bees, feeling worried to the extreme.

Countless corpses were strewn about in the Heavenly Fire Thunder domain. There were even more dried up bones and large ashes in the shape of humans. Many life forms were so dead that they couldn’t be more dead. Naturally, some people survived. Chu Feng intentionally left a few captives as he underwent his tribulation.

“Chu Feng, serves you right. You’re actually going to die in a heavenly tribulation. You really got struck by five lightning bolts and had to endure this lightning tribulation!” Someone burst out laughing.

There was a saint child in particular near Chu Feng whose body was burnt to the point where he was filled with holes and his body was dry, not that much better than Chu Feng. At this moment, a malevolent smile appeared on his face. He used his hands and feet to crawl forward.

“Chu Feng, you never thought that you would be so miserable in the end, did you? Let me chop off your head!”

He could feel that Chu Feng didn’t have any vitality left in his body and had completely turned into a rock-like corpse. Hence, he felt very relieved and pounced over to chop off Chu Feng’s head.

“I’ll have to disappoint you!” Chu Feng sat up and slapped the person with the back of his hand, beating him to the point where he exploded and split into pieces.

However, blood didn’t spurt out of this saint child’s body because it burnt dry in the Heavenly Fire Thunder. He only let out a miserable shriek and died there.

Chu Feng stood up and rapidly absorbed the nearby energy. After that, he looked toward the sky that was filled with ashes and said, “Little Grandfather can handle himself quite well. If you have the guts to mount a sneak attack again, do try it! Come on!”

His skull almost got lifted open and it was still emitting black smoke. He slapped his skull and restored it to its original position.

The saint children who didn’t die were flabbergasted. They felt that he was… really abnormal. He was alright even with such severe injuries?

Krrt!

Lightning appeared between the sky and earth all of a sudden and struck toward Chu Feng again. It was scarlet like blood and was in the shape of a ball. A string of ball-shaped lightning that resembled a broken bracelet flew toward Chu Feng.

“You’re really going to come!?” Chu Feng jumped and ran. He charged up into the sky and as he raised his hands, he hurled various metal objects at the sky, attracting thunder and lightning.

Even so, it was useless.

This string of ball-shaped lightning melted some of the metal weapons and dodged some as it continued diving toward Chu Feng. In the end, all of the lightning balls attacked him and sent him flying.

The ball-shaped lightning passed right through his body, creating shining holes in front and at the back of his body. He fell to the ground and lay motionless.

The sky and earth were silent for a very long time. Everyone had stiff expressions on their faces.

In the end, Chu Feng moved. He swayed as he crawled up and looked at the sky. The expression he wore on his face was one of confusion and hidden resentment. He really wanted to curse out.

“Brother, restrain yourself. Don’t talk anymore!” shouted the big black yak. He really was worried for him and was practically on the edge.

At this moment, the surviving hard currencies, namely the remaining saint children, had strange expressions on their faces. They were itching to advise him to continue cursing at the heavens and the heavenly tribulation!

Chu Feng waited for a moment. When he saw that the sky and earth were completely serene, devoid of any lightning, he decisively opened his mouth and swore.

He really did start swearing again because the evil heavenly tribulation made him angry. He felt really shameful and hateful so he couldn’t help but want to be offensive.

Boom!

After which, he fell down vertically. A ray of black light that bore an indescribable aura seemed to be dripping blood. The order shards within it exploded on his body.

“Ah! Brother, you—” The Manchurian Tiger and the rest were alarmed. While they were worried, they felt resentful toward him for failing to meet their expectations. What was going on?

Chu Feng was dizzy. This bolt of lightning was too ruthless because it pierced through many of his bones. But in that split second, he also experienced a lot of miraculous benefits. This was because the remnants of the order shards had entered his body, enabling him to touch it in this kind of terrifying desperate straits. He immediately broke through to the mid-cloudeater realm!

After that, his injuries healed, and as he inhaled with his mouth, the remnants of the lightning flew into his mouth and nourished his body.

“Feasting on cloud and qi. He’s eating lightning and feasting on electricity! How abnormal!” someone muttered, feeling utterly horrified.

Chu Feng’s body recovered a little. He jumped up with a thud and looked at the firmament. After deliberating for a long time, he really couldn’t accept it and still wanted to curse out.

“Brother Chu Feng, don’t curse anymore. Old Brother is begging you. Hurry up and give up!” The Manchurian Tiger screamed from afar, fearing that he would be struck to death.

“Brother, keep your thoughts to yourself. Don’t talk anymore. Silence is golden!” shouted big black yak too.

Old Donkey and Yellow Ox were calling out to him, too, for him to endure the pain.

Chu Feng waited for half a day and realized that much of the ashes had dispersed. It was truly completely tranquil. He was really a little nervous, but he held the psychological state of seeking novelty. In the end, he could hold on no longer.

He started cursing and a string of curse words spewed from his lips.

That was because he was so unbearably angry. Why was he subjected to being struck so tragically? He grumbled a few times before he had to suffer lightning strikes again. If anyone else was in his shoes, their bodies and souls definitely would have been wiped out.

“Hmm? It didn’t come?” Chu Feng waited for a moment and saw that all was calm. His curled his lips and looked up at the firmament as he sneered, “Is that all? If you have the guts, strike me again!”

Everyone was speechless. The heavenly tribulation was over, so why was he stirring such forces?

Krrt!

A bolt of green lightning appeared and swayed down gently with runes on it. It attacked Chu Feng, exceeding everyone’s expectations.

“You’re really coming!?” This was what Chu Feng asked out of exasperation. Hadn’t it come to an end? Why did he provoke another bolt of lightning to strike him again?

The bones in his body fell apart and he almost died from the severe injuries he sustained.

But this time, he came in contact with slightly more order shards than before within the lightning. It entered his body and he quickly looked within himself and carefully studied it.

Following which, Chu Feng started inhaling madly again, circulating his breathing technique to repair his injured body. In the end, he amended his skeleton and swayed as he stood up, starting to use his Lightning Fist.

Even though he didn’t utilize his energy, his fist comprehension was even deeper. The speed at which he could call on it had improved just like he had been practicing boxing for tens of years. It didn’t look as though he had come in contact with it not that long ago at all.

If people from the Yang realm saw this, they definitely would be taken aback. This wasn’t an introduction, but rather this was attaining something at a higher level where one started to truly come in contact with the essence of this kind of divine technique!

This was once the highest technique belonging to some supreme imperial court. One could set their hands to it at the initial stages, but it was incomparably difficult if they wanted to research it intensively in the future.

Now, Chu Feng was directly comprehending it as he endured the tribulation. His inspiration burst forth in the order shards within the lightning just like a hot knife cutting through butter. In a single breath, he improved the use of this kind of fist technique by a large chunk.

He actually didn’t die, but was practicing his fist techniques? All the saint children were unsatisfied and they incessantly cursed him in their hearts. They didn’t think this was the natural order of the world. How can this scourge still not die!?

After Chu Feng digested these comprehensions, he looked at the sky and said, “Come, come, come. Old thunder, if you have the guts to do so, why don’t you strike me and see? Come on! One more time!”

At this moment, not even the saint children, but even big black yak, Old Donkey, and the rest felt that he was very lowly. Everything had come to an end, but he was still picking a fight and wanted to endure these lightning strikes.

Even Wudang Grandmaster Wu Qifeng was speechless and stood there tongue-tied.

“Come on, old thunder! Is your kidney empty? If you have the guts, strike me again and see what happens!” Chu Feng taunted as he stood there, challenging from the island.

All the saint children, including the two golden arhats who hadn’t died from their severe injuries wanted to say, Heaven, why don’t you open your eyes and kill this lowly demon right away and that’s that?

It was as though heaven had heard their prayers because another bolt of lightning finally struck down on him again. This was a bolt of lightning that intertwined with monochromatic colours like yin and yang qi.

Bang!

This time, Chu Feng flew about eight thousand meters away. Much of the flesh on his body shook until they fell, and his bones were making crackling noises, the number of bones that broke was unknown.

This time, he didn’t pretend to be dead, but rather he wailed and struggled to crawl up. He sat cross-legged where he was and started to swallow a second monochromic qi as he recovered his injured body and rapidly seized the order shards into his body.

What kind of person is he? He can’t even die like this! What a monster!

The group of saint children who were brutally burned cursed and screamed in their hearts. Heaven was so unfair. This kind of person who provoked the heavenly tribulations on end actually couldn’t be struck dead. Was there even a natural order of things left?

The two golden body realm powerhouses stared at Chu Feng with their eyes wide and couldn’t say anything for a long time.

Boom!

After Chu Feng fixed his bones and swayed to stand up, he started to provoke the heavens again and swore not only because he was curious, but also because he had obtained true benefit from it!

There were many order shards hidden in the lightning. Not only was it immensely beneficial to the improvement of his Lightning Fist, it could also advance his whole cultivation and evolution. There were truly many miraculous benefits!

He felt that if lightning struck him a few more times, there was a possibility that he was going to breakthrough from mid-cloudeater realm to the later stages of the cloudeater realm!

He wasn’t satisfied breaking through from the pre-cloudeater realm to mid-cloudeater realm.

However, it didn’t matter how his tongue was as glorious as a lotus or how much foam spat out from his mouth because the heavenly tribulation didn’t appear again. The island was peaceful and tranquil.

“Three Character Classic, first scripture in the world, is not useful anymore. Old thunder, you’re really terrifying!” Chu Feng had a look of disdain on his face as he commenced his last provocation. Even so, lightning no longer fell and no one bothered with him.

In the end, he had an unresigned look on his face as he stared longingly at the sky. He knew that everything had come to an end.

All the saint children wanted to curse at this kind of attitude and appearance he had. They felt that this was really too imbalanced and what they felt in their hearts wasn’t a feeling, but rather they truly couldn’t stand him anymore.

“How lowly!” Even Ouyang Feng pursed his lips. He could stand him no longer and looked down at him from afar.

A group of saints and golden arhats all wore smiles on their faces at this moment because they thought that the war on Earth ought to be coming to an end and news would be arriving soon.

“Hmm, it’s either they’ve been completely annihilated or all held captive. Hehe…”
