After hearing Chu Feng's words, the Limitless Immortal's body began to tremble, his gaze flickering wildly, as though he were witnessing the horrific scene of his son being killed by Chu Feng with his own eyes. The more he imagined it, the more enraged he became, until he was on the verge of madness. With a sudden roar, he bellowed: "You wretched brat, you truly deserve to die!!!"
The moment those words left his mouth, the massive black axe raised high above him came crashing down toward Chu Feng, carrying with it a world-destroying force.
Boom— In the blink of an eye, a black crescent-shaped slash landed on Chu Feng's body, cutting him to pieces.
However, the severed flesh did not dissolve into blood. Instead, it transformed into energy bodies that streaked toward the Limitless Immortal.
Everything happened far too quickly. By the time the Limitless Immortal—who had believed himself certain of victory—realized what was happening, the energy bodies had already converged together, reforming into a physical body that stood behind him. And that person was none other than Chu Feng.
"Heaven's Forbidden Void-Slashing Strike."
At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly swung the Coiling Dragon Fury Slash in his hand.
This slash appeared to carry nothing special about it, yet the instant it was unleashed, the entire world plunged into absolute darkness.
But then, suddenly, within that pitch-black void overhead, a dazzling silver luminescence tore across the darkness like an enormous meteor.
And that… was no meteor. It was a slash of devastating ferocity.
Its power surpassed even Chu Feng's Profound Art: Azure Void Kill.
Finally, the pitch-black void returned to its previous state. Chu Feng still stood in the sky above, completely unharmed. The wounds the Limitless Immortal had inflicted moments ago had already healed—not only had his physical body been restored, but even his severed clothing had returned to its original form.
But at this moment, Chu Feng gazed down at a massive boulder below with an expressionless face.
Upon that boulder lay a figure—or more precisely, a soul entity. And that soul entity was none other than the Limitless Immortal.
The Limitless Immortal had not died. At the critical moment, he had used a special technique to escape death.
But now, he had not only lost his physical body—he was also incredibly weak. Forget about Chu Feng; even any ordinary first-grade Martial Emperor could cut him down.
"You truly are loyal." Seeing the Limitless Immortal reduced to this state—having already abandoned his physical body, abandoned his Universe Bag, abandoned his Emperor Armament, the Black Axe—yet still clutching tightly to that scroll which recorded the location of the treasure, Chu Feng came to understand something.
The Limitless Immortal was, without question, fiercely devoted to the Dark Hall's Master.
"How could this happen? How could I possibly have lost to you?" The Limitless Immortal stared at Chu Feng in utter disbelief. Even now, he could barely accept that everything which had just transpired was real—that he had actually been defeated by Chu Feng.
He had long known of Chu Feng's prowess, and he had not been careless. From the very start, he had wielded his Emperor Armament. From the very beginning, he had deployed his most powerful offensive techniques. He had even resorted to his ultimate killing move against Chu Feng.
All of this should have guaranteed certain victory. How could he have still lost to Chu Feng, when the gap between their true cultivation levels was so vast?
"If I didn't have absolute confidence in defeating you, do you think I would have come alone to lure you out?" Chu Feng said with a cold smile.
Indeed, Chu Feng had dared to come alone precisely because he possessed absolute certainty that he could triumph over the Limitless Immortal.
Though the fusion of his secret techniques had not elevated his cultivation, it had granted him an immortal body.
Unless the opponent's strength could utterly suppress Chu Feng—to a degree where he had no capacity whatsoever to fight back—no one could kill him. Chu Feng was, in every sense, indestructible and immortal.
And it was abundantly clear… the Limitless Immortal fell squarely in the category of those who could not kill Chu Feng.
"But… I earlier…"
