The brilliant golden light instantly devoured everything.
In the wake of the golden light, everything except for the Immemorial Massacre Sea was destroyed, be it the Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs temporary city or their formation.
Yet, Shen Bai looked around with eyes widened in disbelief. He rose to space, took out a unique golden compass, and anxiously scanned his surroundings. Moments later, he cursed with a sour face, âDamn it! Those ants escaped!â
His earlier attack had destroyed everything in the Immemorial Massacre Seaâs entrance, but Chu Feng, Zhao Daobin, and everyone else who was in the vicinity had gotten away.
He felt indignant, but there was nothing he could do.
So, he quickly returned to the chariot Little Fishy was riding on.
â¦
Meanwhile, Chu Feng, Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, Long Mucheng, the Ouyang Heavenly Clansmen, and everyone else who was at the Immemorial Massacre Sea earlier appeared in the middle of space, a fair distance away from the Immemorial Massacre Sea.
Everyone looked at Chu Feng in confusion, shock, but mostly gratitude.
They had felt Shen Baiâs killing intent for themselves, and they were convinced they were doomed. Someone of Shen Baiâs strength could kill them before they could even scream, let alone retaliate.
But in that critical moment, a surge of energy enveloped them and transported them to safety at a speed beyond their wildest imagination.
And that energy was from Chu Feng.
It was the Divine Deer!
âElder, have you recovered your energy?â Chu Feng asked.
âYes, but I have just used it,â the Divine Deer replied.
âWhen did you recover it?â
âIt has already been some time.â
âElder, why didnât you tell me earlier? Iâ¦â
âYou would have used it on something unnecessary if I told you about it in advance. If so, I wouldnât have been able to save you and your friends just now,â the Divine Deer interjected.
Chu Feng couldnât refute that. As much as he wanted to use this power to rescue Little Fishy, they would have been dead if the Divine Deer hadnât intervened earlier.
âYoung hero Chu Feng, thank you for saving our lives.â
Many people kneeled to Chu Feng and thanked him, but Chu Feng, Long Mucheng, Ouyang Mingzhang, and the others warily eyed Zhao Daobin.
Shen Bai might have humiliated Zhao Daobin earlier by sitting on him, but in truth, his injuries werenât that severe. If he, a rank three Heavenly God, was still hostile to them, they would be in huge trouble.
Sensing the gazes on him, Zhao Daobin stood up, straightened his robe, and bowed to Chu Feng, saying, âI am Zhao Daobin from the Zhao Immortal Clan. Young friend Chu Feng, I am grateful to you for saving my life.â
Those words suggested that Zhao Daobin might not be an enemy.
Zhao Daobin had come to the Immemorial Massacre Sea to capture Chu Feng, but he changed his mind after what transpired earlier.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, it would be wise for you to go into hiding now. That so-called God Clan is not to be trifled with,â Zhao Daobin said.
âYou know them?â Chu Feng asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOur clan has records about God Clans. There were indeed God Clans in the Ancient Era. Similar to Heavenly Clans, they had many offshoots, with some stronger than others.
âUnlike most living beings, they donât have origin energies. No one knows where they are from. However, they boast fighting prowess far superior to ordinary cultivators and world spiritists. On top of that, they wield a unique ability to suppress those stronger than them down to their level. That, coupled with their overwhelming fighting prowess, makes them nigh impossible to defeat.
âYou should have seen how he easily crushed my God Armament. Itâs not because my God Armament is brittle but because he suppressed my God Armamentâs power until it was weaker than him.â
Zhao Daobinâs words further drove in just how terrifying the God Clans were.
They had only encountered one so far, but the other party mentioned he had at least a big brother who was stronger than him in the clan.
To make things worse, they saw everyone else other than them as mere ants. It was not unthinkable for them to engage in genocide when they finally emerged from their seclusion.
âI harbored doubts about the existence of the God Clan, but to think I would encounter them in person⦠I didnât expect such ancient monsters to still be alive in the present era,â Zhao Daobin remarked with a sigh.
âBut there must be a limit to how far they can suppress a personâs cultivation. Elder, were you able to sense his limit when you crossed blows with him earlier?â Chu Feng asked.
Instead of replying aloud, Zhao Daobin sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, âYoung friend Chu Feng, Iâll be honest with you. My God Armament isnât of the highest quality as Iâm not fond of wielding weapons. I could have shattered my God Armament too if I exerted my full force.
âI suspect the limit of his suppression to be rank three Heavenly God level. While he looks to be from the God Clan, judging by his traits, he is likely to be from an unknown branch. Our clan will eradicate them once we emerge from our seclusion, so you just have to lie low till then.â
Then, Zhao Daobin bowed once more to Chu Feng and said aloud, âYoung friend Chu Feng, Iâll make sure to return this favor in the future. May we meet again.â
After Zhao Daobin left, the others also rushed to the nearest realm with their respective means. Their encounter with Shen Bai had left them uneasy, instilling an urge to go into hiding.
The Ouyang Heavenly Clan parted ways with Chu Feng here.
Chu Feng, Long Mucheng, and the others made their way to one of the nearer realms.
All the nearby realms were located in the Divine Body Galaxy. Had Chu Feng told them the God Clan was based in the Divine Body Galaxy, they probably wouldnât have dared to approach any realm in the Divine Body Galaxy.
âChu Feng, is that fellow speaking the truth? Is Miss Yuâer going to marry into the God Clan?â Long Chengyu asked Chu Feng.
âHe lied to provoke me. Didnât you see how intimidated he was by Yuâer?â Chu Feng replied.
âYes, I saw that too. He must have said that to anger you. You can't take it to heart. That fellow is a scum. He took Little Fishy away, only to suddenly turn back to kill us. He canât be trusted!â Long Chengyu spat angrily.
âChu Feng, do you honestly think Shen Bai was lying?â Eggy asked.
