Chapter 1204 - 1229: Legend of the Dark Red Demon Star

Chu Linfeng glanced at the dark monster and swiftly retreated, feeling suppressed after staying too long in this undercurrent. The pressure consistently gave him an uncomfortable feeling.

However, the beams of light shot out from the dark monster’s eyes never ceased. If not for the Sky Mirror halting them, perhaps they would have already struck Chu Linfeng by now.

He immediately executed the Light Transformation to render his body invisible, then swiftly moved a few meters to the side, as the beams shot directly into the undercurrent.

Chu Linfeng could clearly sense the lake water boiling, emitting a pungent smell. He hadn’t expected this creature’s attack power to be so strong, comparable to his Eye of Ice and Fire.

To inflict real damage on this creature, he must wait for the glare from its eyes to completely vanish before launching a thunderous attack aimed at its eyes, which required using the Eye of Ice and Fire—something he was somewhat wary of using.

After a fierce battle with the Elder Golden-Winged Roc, much of the chaotic immortal power within him was consumed. Although he broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could only execute two to three attacks in front, and using the Eye of Ice and Fire consumed nearly as much of the chaotic immortal power as using the Divine Slash.

He retrieved an Immortal Jade Lotus Seed from the storage ring and placed it in his mouth as a precaution. His entire body slowly moved closer to the monster, with every step being cautious, until he halted a dozen meters away from the creature.

The Eye of Ice and Fire’s attack range was vast, enough to cover this distance. He waited for the glow in Black Chapter’s eyes to completely disappear before launching a surprise attack. However, Black Chapter seemed to have sensed Chu Linfeng’s intentions, as its eyes continuously surveyed, nearly spotting Chu Linfeng.

"How did this human vanish into thin air? That’s really strange. I hope I don’t run into you again, or else I will kill you. I didn’t expect this guy to possess such terrifying strength; people from the Immortal Realm are indeed formidable," Black Chapter muttered to itself.

Actually, Chu Linfeng was struggling at this moment, trying to stabilize his body against the forceful undercurrent while keeping an eye on the beams shot from the opponent’s eyes. This moment could only be filled with anxious waiting.

After a moment, the glow in the monster’s eyes disappeared, and everything returned to calm. Chu Linfeng prepared to launch a surprise attack, but at this time, the monster suddenly moved its body, revealing what was behind it.

Seeing that sight made Chu Linfeng jump in fright—behind the creature was a one-meter-high dark tree, entirely black, bearing two fruits, also black, from which Chu Linfeng could distinctly sense the powerful dark element pulsating.

Below the small tree was a red grass, and seeing this grass, Chu Linfeng’s heart instantly filled with joy before the Jade Immortal Emperor’s voice appeared, "That’s the top-level soul medicine Drunken God Grass, which is extremely rare in the Immortal Realm. Master, you must help me acquire it."

"Drunken God Grass? From the name, it sounds like good stuff. I didn’t expect the Drunken God Grass to appear in this place; it’s really peculiar," Chu Linfeng said.

"The appearance of Drunken God Grass is very demanding; it must appear in places filled with Immortal Spirit Qi and Nether Energy, and simultaneously requires a powerful dark element to grow. This location happens to meet such conditions, which is why it appeared.

I haven’t seen it before, but I have read about it in ancient texts. This Drunken Soul Grass can gather dissipated souls. Once I consume it, the remaining spirits from the Divine Realm can also return to the Immortal Realm; it’s very mystical.

This Drunken God Grass is a true top-level soul medicine, its value immeasurable. Since the Drunken God Grass is so large, I only need to consume a single leaf; the rest can be used by the master in the future," the Jade Immortal Emperor said excitedly.

"Don’t worry, Jade, I will definitely obtain this Drunken God Grass for you. The fruit on the small dark tree doesn’t seem to be ordinary either; eating it might elevate my Dark Transformation to the Second Layer," Chu Linfeng laughed. This time, it felt like striking gold; such an opportunity was rare.

"That’s the Dark Fruit; its grade is slightly lower than Drunken God Grass, but still top-tier. Your luck this time is truly great. However, to obtain the Drunken God Grass and Dark Fruit, you must kill Black Chapter first.

Whenever treasures of heaven and earth or heaven-defying spirit medicines appear, they are guarded by powerful monsters. It seems Black Chapter is the guardian of these two items, possibly appearing simultaneously with them; you must devise a way to deal with him," the Jade Immortal Emperor advised.

"I’m aware; later I’ll let the Golden Body retrieve the soul medicine and Dark Fruit while I fight him personally. I refuse to believe I can’t kill this guy, no matter how powerful he is. The Divine Slash attack should be unstoppable. I’m only worried about accidentally opening the Netherworld gateway, otherwise, I would have used it already. Now isn’t the right time to open the Netherworld gateway.

If the Netherworld Immortal Beast and Demon Realm join forces against the Immortal Realm, no matter how strong the Immortal Realm is, it would fail against a three-way alliance, resulting either in defeat or being divided amongst the three sides," Chu Linfeng explained.

At that moment, Black Chapter touched the Dark Fruit with its tentacles and muttered, "After another full moon night, this Dark Fruit will be completely ripe, and I will truly be free. Once I consume the Dark Fruit, my power will reach Mid-stage Divine Human.

At that point, no one in the Netherworld or Immortal Realm will be my match, and for the Black Chapter race to ascend to the Netherworld, the Dark Red Demon Star must appear. It will be ten thousand years before the Dark Red Demon Star appears again, enough time for me to unify the Immortal and Nether realms."

Listening to this made Chu Linfeng more startled; he hadn’t expected Black Chapter to have such ambition, and consuming this Dark Fruit would grant it such advanced power. A Mid-stage Divine Human realm is akin to ants beneath the gaze of Immortals or Immortal Emperors.

Chu Linfeng wasn’t sure what the Dark Red Demon Star was, but the name likely signaled something ominous. He asked the Jade Immortal Emperor, "Jade, do you know what the Dark Red Demon Star is? With its fearsome abilities, we must kill it."

"The Dark Red Demon Star is an ancient terrifying legend, appearing once every ten million years. Its appearance heralds worldwide chaos, bestowed with mighty Star Power, capable of absorbing from afar.

Whoever harnesses stronger Star Power can control the Star Power of the Dark Red Demon Star—imagine the force of controlling a star’s power. The War of Gods in ancient times was linked to its appearance.

In ten thousand years, the Dark Red Demon Star is predicted to appear again. Surely, chaos will re-emerge, only you can halt it. You possess both the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and are a reincarnation of the strongest Divine Venerable in the past Divine Realm. You are, without a doubt, the savior," the Jade Immortal Emperor declared.

Lin Feng’s face darkened, suddenly realizing the increased weight of responsibility on his shoulders...
