After hearing Chu Feng's words, the Measureless Immortal's body began to tremble, his gaze flickering uncertainly — as if he could already see the image of his son dying a wretched death at Chu Feng's hands. And the more he imagined it, the angrier he became, until he was on the verge of madness. He let out a sudden roar:
"You brat — you truly deserve to die!!!"
The moment those words left his mouth, the massive black axe raised high overhead swung down toward Chu Feng, carrying with it a force capable of destroying heaven and earth.
BOOM—
In the blink of an eye, a black crescent-shaped slash landed squarely on Chu Feng's body, tearing him apart.
However, the shredded flesh did not dissolve into blood. Instead, it transformed into energy bodies that shot toward the Measureless Immortal.
Everything happened far too quickly. By the time the Measureless Immortal — who had believed victory was firmly in his grasp — realized what was going on, the five energy bodies had already merged together, reconstituting into a physical form standing right behind him. And that person was none other than Chu Feng.
"Heaven-Severing Void Slash."
At that moment, Chu Feng swung the Coiling Dragon Wrathcleaver in his hand.
The slash appeared to carry nothing special about it. But the instant it was unleashed, the entire world plunged into absolute darkness.
Then suddenly, within that pitch-black void, a dazzling silver streak of light — like an enormous shooting star — sliced across the darkened sky.
It was not a shooting star, but rather a slash of devastating ferocity.
Its power surpassed even Chu Feng's profound skill, the Azure Abyss Kill.
At last, the pitch-black void returned to its previous state. Chu Feng still stood in the sky above, completely unscathed. The wounds the Measureless Immortal had inflicted earlier had fully healed — not only had his body mended, but even his severed clothing had been restored.
Yet the expressionless Chu Feng was gazing down at a massive boulder below.
Upon that boulder sat a figure — or more precisely, a soul body — and that soul body was the Measureless Immortal.
The Measureless Immortal was not dead. At the critical moment, he had used a special technique to escape death.
But in his current state, he had lost not only his physical body but was also extraordinarily weakened. Forget about facing Chu Feng — even a mere first-level Martial Emperor could kill him.
"You're certainly loyal." Seeing the Measureless Immortal reduced to this state — having abandoned his physical body, his Universe Bag, and his Emperor Weapon black axe — yet still tightly clutching that scroll which recorded the location of the treasure, Chu Feng understood that the Measureless Immortal's devotion to the Dark Hall's Master was nothing short of absolute.
"How can this be? How could I possibly lose to you?" The Measureless Immortal stared at Chu Feng in disbelief. Even now, he could hardly accept what had just happened — that he had actually been defeated by Chu Feng.
Though he had long known of Chu Feng's power, he had not been careless. He had deployed his Emperor Weapon from the very start, unleashed his strongest offensive techniques from the very beginning, and even used his most lethal killing move against Chu Feng.
Everything should have guaranteed his victory — so how had he still lost? After all, the gap between his true cultivation and Chu Feng's was enormous.
"If I didn't have the confidence to defeat you, do you really think I would have come alone to lure you out?" Chu Feng said with a cold smile.
Indeed, the only reason Chu Feng had dared to come alone was because he possessed absolute confidence that he could overcome the Measureless Immortal.
Though the fusion of the Five Elements Secret Technique had not increased his cultivation, it had granted him an undying body.
Unless the opponent's strength could overwhelmingly suppress Chu Feng's — to the point where Chu Feng simply could not resist — no one could kill him. Chu Feng was truly immortal and indestructible.
And obviously… the Measureless Immortal fell squarely into the category of those who could not kill Chu Feng.
