Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

175: Chapter 177 Explanation and Confession!Tianli Mountain Range.

Yuan Feng’s majestic voice rang out like the divine drums of the heavenly realm, shaking the ten directions of the firmament, rumbling and echoing incessantly within the Tianli Mountain Range that separated the two cultivation nations.

The culprit who ignited the Great Calamity of Xuan Prefecture was True Monarch Lu Ge, and the accomplices were the Yao Race within the Tianli Mountain Range.

Without the help of these Yao Race members, it would have been impossible to stir up such a massive beast tide and plunge the entire Xuan Prefecture into turmoil.

Moreover, this beast tide specifically targeted the Chen family, deploying over twenty Purple Mansion Demon Kings, including three great demon kings at the Five Methods Purple Mansion level.

Add to that the two False Core Great Powers from the Xuan Yuan Sect hiding in the shadows, wielding pseudo-magic treasures, and a Great Shaman from Tianwu Mountain.

Such an array would be more than enough to wipe out a major power guarded by a False Core Great Power.

To say that the Yao Race in the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range had no connection with the Xuan Yuan Sect—not even a dog would believe that.

Therefore, Yuan Feng had come. After annihilating the Xuan Yuan Sect, he intended to demand an explanation from this branch of the Yao Race in the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range.

It was they who had broken the rules first, tearing up the agreement.

Even if he did not come, the Great Qi Imperial Family would have sent people to hold them accountable.

No matter how one put it, Yuan Feng stood on the side of reason and justice; the Great Qi Imperial Family would become his great backing in demanding this explanation.

”What, the Golden Crow clan, who once established an earthly demon kingdom, claimed sovereignty over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and looked down upon the four seas and eight wildernesses, does not even dare to respond?!”

Seeing no response, the three Golden Natures within Yuan Feng’s body shone brilliantly, like three golden dragons reviving, connecting with his Dou Zhan dao position. An Aura like an abyss or a sea swept toward the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range, overbearing and boundless!

”Demon Ape, do you think that just because you have achieved the Golden Core, you can disregard my clan?!”

”Even if my clan has declined, we have not fallen to the point where we need to fear a newly ascended Golden Core!”

An angry rebuke resounded throughout the Tianli Mountain Range, causing the celestial phenomena in this region to change abruptly. Thunder rumbled, shaking the Nine Heavens, and black clouds pressed down on the firmament in all directions.

”It was your clan that broke the rules first, dispatching a Golden Core to stir up a beast tide, causing a Great Calamity of Xuan Prefecture spanning thirty million li, and specifically targeting my Chen family. Why shouldn’t I, this True Monarch, demand an explanation!”

Two bolts of cold electricity shot from Yuan Feng’s pupils, tearing through the sky full of black clouds. His Battle-Wielding Heaven-Reaching Dharma Idol towered into the Nine Heavens, and his terrifying, monstrous Aura made the firmament tremble as if it were about to collapse.

He had first beheaded the Blood Essence Devouring Dao True Monarch, then killed True Monarch Lu Ge, and he still carried a Great Sovereign’s natal Immortal Artifact. Facing this remnant branch of the Golden Crow clan, what was there to fear?!

Boom!

A golden sun rose from the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range, and the scorching Great Sun True Fire burned intensely, causing the Void Realm to collapse. The temperature in this region rose rapidly, as if one were inside a furnace.

A slender figure draped in golden robes stood within the golden sun, pupils of red gold burning with rage. Two brilliant beams of light pierced through the Void Realm, transforming into two golden divine swords that struck directly at Yuan Feng.

The peerless sharpness was revealed, and the sound of swords rang throughout the world. Before they even arrived, two deep, long spatial rifts had already been carved into the vast firmament. The blazing divine radiance boiled like a sea, more terrifying than the eruption of a million volcanoes.

Whoosh!

Specks of golden light emerged in Yuan Feng’s pitch-black pupils. Two dragon-like beams of light tore through the long sky, meeting the two incoming golden divine swords.

The Illuminating Demon Eye, this innate ocular talent, had undergone an incredible transformation after he reached the Golden Core stage. It could also be used as an ocular technique, ever-changing and peerless in Dou Zhan.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking strike, as if two ancient Star Domains were colliding. An Aura that destroyed everything erupted, and the firmament shattered continuously, like a torn painting, becoming tattered and broken.

Surging divine energy rushed in all directions like a tidal wave. A False Core Great Power would feel cold just facing it, and a Purple Mansion True Person would be reduced to ash in an instant.

But under the might of the Golden Core level, the aftermath was confined within this area, not leaking out even a single bit.

Both the newcomer and Yuan Feng were very restrained.

If the two of them were to fight with all their might, without reservation, the entire Xuan Prefecture would be sunk.

For the current world, this was unbearable and unacceptable; Heavenly Punishment would descend.

Clang!

Yuan Feng’s gaze collided with the newcomer’s gaze, and blinding sparks flew. The surrounding Void Realm suddenly collapsed, revealing the pitch-black Great Void, and endless spatial turbulence.

The Battle-Wielding Heaven-Reaching Dharma Idol continuously shrank, becoming a six-zhang tall figure, like an immortal and indestructible gilded divine statue standing between heaven and earth, as steady as Mount Tai in the center of heaven, suppressing the four poles of the universe.

A golden fist imprint was slowly thrust out. Phantoms of immortal mountains and divine peaks manifested and then shattered, the terrifying Aura impacting the firmament like crashing waves and thunder in the Nine Heavens. Even if a world were in front of it, it would be obliterated.

”No wonder you could kill that guy Lu Ge. You Demon Ape actually has some tricks.”

The newcomer’s golden pupils narrowed. Behind him appeared the divine form of a Golden Crow that looked down upon the vast earth. The scorching Great Sun True Fire soared into the sky, causing heaven and earth to crack, shaking out a magnificent Aura, as if an ancient god had descended.

”Dominator of the Boundless!”

With a soft shout, boundless Spiritual Qi poured in. The Golden Crow divine form carried the great sun on its back, as high as the sky, pressing down on the vast expanse, dominating the heavens and the earth.

Endless Great Sun True Fire surged, as if thousands of suns had been imprisoned and brought here, all exploding at once. The boundlessly terrifying Divine Might was contained within the Golden Crow divine form, and then transformed into a bright, brilliant sun falling down.

Boom!

Yuan Feng’s golden fist met the falling bright sun, like two Immortal Dao Grotto-Heavens colliding, shaking the boundless firmament and cracking the earth in all directions.

A black hole appeared, swallowing all light and energy, and then silently vanished in the clash between Yuan Feng and the newcomer.

Drops of golden demon blood fell, like gold and jade, heavy as mountains and rivers, smashing giant pits into the ground and forming lakes.

With a thought from Yuan Feng, the dripping blood all flew back. His Golden Core Dao Power surged, extinguishing the Great Sun True Fire on his hand, and his blood-stained fist immediately recovered as before.

The newcomer retreated several steps, the manifested Golden Crow divine form dimming, and the sun behind it cracked into a hundred fissures before exploding with a bang.

”I, this seat, am Chihui. I acknowledge your strength, but my clan is still not something you can provoke!”

Demon Monarch Chihui steadied his figure, his magma-like Golden Crow Dao Power surging, his robes fluttering. Ten brilliant suns appeared behind him, real and vivid, enough to evaporate the seas and burn the mountains and rivers.

”I am not discussing this with you; I am notifying you!”

The fur all over Yuan Feng’s body danced, and in his eyes, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars were rotating. One by one, real, unmistakable great stars were condensed by him using the Myriad Transformation Sacred Art, crowding the firmament, as if he had intercepted an extraterritorial Star Domain.

”Is that so?!”

A fiery red great furnace appeared in Demon Monarch Chihui’s hand. The Golden Crow divine form carved upon it came alive, as if an ancient Golden Crow God Emperor had revived, and an Aura far surpassing the Golden Core level rushed out.

An Immortal Artifact. This fiery red furnace was an Immortal Artifact, and an extraordinary one at that.

”Do you think only you have an Immortal Artifact?”

Yuan Feng gave a light reprimand and took out the Xuan Yuan Gui Li Disk. Dazzling ocean brilliance emerged, covering the sky and the earth, and the sound of surging waves rang through the Nine Heavens.

Gui Li’s figure appeared, staring wide-eyed at the fiery red furnace. A three-legged Golden Crow, golden all over as if cast from gold, stood upon it, staring eye-to-eye with her.

The artifact spirits of the two Immortal Artifacts were confronting each other in this way, the might of the Immortal Artifacts they each controlled gradually reviving, causing the heavens to change color and the sun and moon to lose their light.

If these two Immortal Artifacts were to fire at full power and deliver a full-force strike, let alone Xuan Prefecture, the entire Great Qi would be affected.

Rumble!

A vast, boundless black cloud pressed down. A very peculiar Aura permeated the air. Amidst the lightning and thunder, a huge, emotionless thunder eye opened, watching the Xuan Yuan Gui Li Disk and the fiery red furnace.

”Enough!”

Just at this critical moment, an old voice interrupted both sides.

An old man with a hunched back walked out from the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range. His withered hand fell, and the ten suns behind Chihui extinguished.

Seeing this, the artifact spirit of the fiery red furnace wilted, transforming into light spots and dissipating, the Aura of the Immortal Artifact it had been emitting going silent.

”Golden Core of the Dou Zhan clan, you want an explanation, so this old man will give you an explanation.”

The old man looked at Yuan Feng, his turbid eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

”As expected of the Golden Crow clan; even if they have declined, they still have such terrifying old monsters suppressing their Luck.”

Yuan Feng dispersed the stars in the sky behind him, the brilliance of the Xuan Yuan Gui Li Disk shrouding him, allowing him to withdraw at any time by borrowing the power of this Great Sovereign’s Immortal Artifact.

”I wonder what explanation Senior intends to give?”

The old man chuckled upon hearing this.

”Our clan lives in seclusion and does not contend with the world. Chihui acted on his own, entered the world to stir up a great calamity, and has already violated the ancestors’ dying instructions. All Karma is borne by him; it has nothing to do with our clan.”

”How is that, little one of the Dou Zhan clan?”

Yuan Feng’s gaze narrowed slightly, then he shook his head: ”Not enough!”

”Little one, do not push your Luck. No matter how much my clan has declined, it is not something that can be threatened by one Great Sovereign’s Immortal Artifact.”

The old man’s hunched body straightened, like an ancient flood-dragon beast awakening. A terrifying, unparalleled Aura spread, pressing down so hard that the sky seemed about to collapse—it was boundless and terrifying.

”Senior, I said it, not enough!”

Yuan Feng looked directly at the old man and said, word by word.

”Good!”

The Aura on the old man’s body suddenly retracted, and he casually threw out an item.

”This is the compensation from our clan. From here on, the grievances between you and our clan are written off.”

After saying this, the old man took Demon Monarch Chihui and disappeared.

Yuan Feng caught the item the old man threw over. Even with his Physical Body, he found it difficult to bear the weight of this item and almost fell to the ground.

”This is... a Nascent Soul level Great Sun Essence Core?!”

”This is a good thing! It can completely be used as the main material for a solar Immortal Artifact. That old guy is quite generous.”

”I can be very sure now that you are indeed the person mentioned in the divination of the Heavenly Mystery Immortal Lord.”

Gui Li’s surprised voice rang out.

Yuan Feng did not reply, but instead put away the Great Sun Essence Core.

Afterward, golden light surged, carrying him across mountains and rivers, returning to Luoyun Mountain.

”Uncle Yuan!”

The moment Yuan Feng appeared, Chen Zhuyun, who was arranging matters, discovered him, and his eyes immediately turned red.

”Where is Old Chen?”

Yuan Feng asked, then paused.

”Father, he...”

Chen Zhuyun opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

”I know everything. Zhuyun, you go ahead and get busy. I still have some things to deal with.”

After Yuan Feng said this, his figure disappeared.

He first checked the injuries of Chen Zhuhong and the others, then used his Golden Core Dao Power to help them recover.

Next, with the might of the Golden Core level, he restored the devastated Luoyun Mountain territory to its original state.

After doing all this, he came to a certain place in Luoyun Mountain, which was also the place where Chen Fufeng had fallen.
