Chapter 144. The Ancient Immortal World Trembles—Chu Feng’s Confidence!

The treasure vault of the Nine Netherworld Great Emperor had emerged.

The mortal world was in an uproar, the Ancient Immortal World trembled, and countless beings engaged in heated discussions!

At this moment, whether it was the human race or the Ancient Royal Clans, all were shaken by the imperial might of the Nine Netherworld Great Emperor!

A Great Emperor from a million years ago—by all logic, he should have long since perished, and even his Dao lineage should have vanished without a trace.

Yet unexpectedly, he had left behind a treasure in the mortal world.

Perhaps it was due to the upheaval of heaven and earth, or the revival of the Ancient Royal Clans causing abnormalities in the world’s laws—whatever the reason, the treasure vault had appeared!

In an instant, every force within the Eastern Wasteland was stirred!

A treasure of the Great Emperor level—no one could resist its allure!

If one could obtain an opportunity within it, inherit the complete legacy of the Nine Netherworld Great Emperor, they would become invincible under heaven and earth, suppress all ages, and ascend as a new Great Emperor!

“Quick! Investigate immediately!”

“The treasure vault of the Nine Netherworld Great Emperor is our opportunity!”

“A supreme opportunity! If I can obtain it, even with this aging body, I could contend for the position of Great Emperor in this era!”

“Such an imperial treasure vault must have powerful restrictions. Go and investigate!”

For a time, across the Eastern Wasteland—whether overlord-level forces, Ancient Royal Clans, or hidden great families and sacred lands—all secretly dispatched people to investigate.

Soon, within just a few hours, the results came out!

“That Netherworld Gate… not just anyone can enter it!”

“Only cultivators below the Saint Realm may enter. Those above the Saint Realm are forbidden!”

An ancient existence murmured these words, sending chills through the listeners.

For only a Saint Realm expert could determine such a restriction.

Yet many cultivators grew even more fervent!

If Saints could not enter, it meant one less tier of terrifying competitors for the treasure!

Below the Saint Realm lay the Self-Severing Realm!

All Self-Severing Realm cultivators trembled with excitement, their eyes blazing as they stared toward the Netherworld Gate…

Everyone knew that this gate represented a heaven-defying opportunity—one that must be explored!

“Sigh, though the treasures left by a Great Emperor are powerful, such an existence… how could their legacy be easily obtained by ordinary people?”

“We dare not be greedy. The treasure vault must be extremely dangerous. With so many competitors—hidden forces, overlord-level factions, and even the Ancient Royal Clans—this will be a battlefield soaked in blood!”

“When the time comes, countless Self-Severing Realm cultivators will fall!”

“This treasure vault will be like a meat grinder. Though we possess Self-Severing Realm cultivation, our lives are more important…”

While many were shocked and greedy, some rational cultivators understood clearly—this was not something they could covet.

With the revival of the Ancient Royal Clans, countless Self-Severing Realm experts would rush in recklessly.

Even if one obtained an opportunity, it could be stolen—or worse, lead to death and plunder!

Faced with such a storm of bloodshed, many powerful cultivators hesitated and ultimately chose not to enter.

Of course, such cautious individuals were few.

Most were those who wished to defy the heavens and contend for the imperial throne.

Without a doubt, the emergence of this treasure vault had thrown the entire Eastern Wasteland into turmoil.

Countless geniuses—both known and hidden—as well as members of the Ancient Royal Clans, would all head toward it.

An undercurrent surged wildly beneath the surface…

At this moment, within the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Feng had already left the Holy Emperor Treasury and stood within the imperial council hall.

Below him, Consort Yu was trembling inwardly. Yet despite her shock, she continued her actions diligently without stopping.

Only when Chu Feng lightly patted her delicate face did she stop.

Her cheeks flushed faintly as she raised her head and said softly, somewhat self-reproachful:

“Master… Did I accidentally touch your teeth?”

Chu Feng smiled faintly. “No. You did very well.”

“But it is time to stop. I will soon head to the treasure vault of the Nine Netherworld Great Emperor.”

“Master…” Hearing this, Consort Yu’s heart trembled. She could not help but say worriedly, “That treasure vault is extremely dangerous.”

“Those who go will certainly be Self-Severing Realm cultivators. Your cultivation level…”

Chu Feng was currently at the peak of the Mighty Expert Realm.

Thus, Consort Yu could not help but worry.

She knew Chu Feng could fight across realms.

But within that treasure vault, there would undoubtedly be high-level—even peak—Self-Severing Realm experts!

How could Chu Feng deal with them?

No matter how strong he was, there had to be limits.

She was deeply concerned. A gap of an entire major realm—no matter how extraordinary Chu Feng’s talent, even if he might be the reincarnation of an Immortal King, it would still be extremely dangerous!

“No—this is precisely my advantage.”

A gleam flickered in Chu Feng’s eyes!

This treasure vault seemed tailor-made for him.

First, it was a check-in location, which meant system rewards.

Chu Feng had never doubted the power of the system’s rewards.

Since transmigrating, every check-in reward he had received had been heaven-defying, granting him immensely powerful gains.

This time, he was equally confident that the reward would greatly enhance his strength!

Moreover, Chu Feng already possessed terrifying trump cards.

Within the treasure vault, he could unleash them without restraint.

Unless a Saint Realm expert personally intervened, Chu Feng would feel no pressure at all.

To others, this journey was fraught with danger.

But to Chu Feng, it was nothing of the sort.

He felt no sense of danger whatsoever!

Consort Yu lowered her head slightly.

She thought to herself—Chu Feng was always so calm.

Before, she had been curious about what kind of trump cards allowed him to maintain such composure.

And now—even in such a perilous situation—he remained just as indifferent!

She could only wonder if he possessed even more terrifying hidden strength yet to be revealed.

“Then… this concubine wishes Master success on this journey,” she said softly.

Chu Feng nodded slightly, then patted her face with satisfaction and said, “Consort Yu, you have done well.”

“At least during this time, you have served me quite comfortably.”

Consort Yu’s cheeks flushed red.

Though she had been serving him, she had also gained tremendous benefits.

After all, Chu Feng, who possessed the Supreme Immortal Bone, was a treasure in every part of his body.

Even a single taste brought noticeable improvement.

And what Consort Yu had done was far more than just that—her gains had been immense.
