Lin Feng single-handedly defeated two Godly Kings and a human traitor. This display of power inspired the oppressed humans, who hailed him as their protector. When three Ancient Godly Kings arrived with their forces, Lin Feng revealed his true strength as a Heavenly Godly Ancestor, quickly defeating one of them. He then rallied the humans to reclaim their territory, setting the stage for Chi You's intervention.

The Man Huang Field was already a scene of carnage when Chi You made his grand entrance. Upon beholding him, the assembled beasts erupted in fervent excitement, immediately prostrating themselves. ‘Greetings, our Leader!’ they cried in unison.

‘He is exceedingly insolent and aggressive! We implore you to vanquish this individual!’

‘Our Beast Clan cannot afford to lose face! Please mete out justice!’

Even the Ancient Godly Kings found themselves helpless. The two remaining Ancient Godly Kings were paralyzed with terror at the sight of Lin Feng. When Chi You arrived and witnessed the beasts' desperate pleas, his expression faltered.

Chi You, in this era, presented a stark contrast to his appearance on Earth. He appeared as a man of average stature, distinguished only by a pair of horns upon his head. Yet, all knew Chi You to be the revered emperor of all beasts, a Heavenly Godly Ancestor, and the terrifying, ultimate sovereign of their realm!

Chi You gazed icily at Lin Feng. He did not recognize the man before him, yet Lin Feng's Qi felt inexplicably familiar, though he couldn't place from where.

Lin Feng observed Chi You, a wave of relief washing over him as he confirmed it was Chi You's true form and not merely a clone. His objective was now clear: eliminate Chi You, and subsequently, the imposter Tian Dao!

Lin Feng's gaze fell upon Chi You's hands. He recalled severing one of Chi You's hands when both he and the fake Tian Dao had unleashed energies to return to the Ancestral World. Now, Chi You sported a new limb, though his Qi was noticeably weaker than in their previous encounters on Earth.

So many years had elapsed, and yet, his recovery remained incomplete. The immense power he had expended against Lin Feng previously had taken a significant toll. Had he retained his original might, he would never have delegated the task of dealing with Lin Feng to the Ancient Godly Kings; he would have confronted Lin Feng directly!

‘Do you comprehend the fate that befalls those who dare to provoke the Beast Clan?’ Chi You inquired, noting Lin Feng's continued silence. Naturally, he perceived Lin Feng's cultivation as that of a Heavenly Godly Ancestor, and thus, maintained a cautious demeanor.

He surmised that no mere human could ascend to the rank of Heavenly Godly Ancestor without the assistance of a beast, betraying a conspiracy orchestrated by some treacherous beast!

Unbeknownst to Chi You, the masked figure was an old acquaintance: Lin Feng!

Upon hearing Chi You's words, Lin Feng's expression remained impassive. The humans on the ground regrouped beneath him, enveloped within his protective aura. Likewise, the beasts retreated under Chi You's command.

Humanity on one side, beasts on the other. Two distinct Qi currents clashed.

‘Are you afflicted with mutism? Let us ascertain your true strength, then!’ Chi You declared, vanishing without a trace. A profound fear gripped all the humans present.

The beasts erupted in triumphant roars, cheering fervently for Chi You.

Lin Feng remained resolute. Though Chi You was nowhere to be seen, Lin Feng was unperturbed. He closed his eyes, extending the power of space and time to pinpoint his elusive adversary. Chi You was less than five meters away. Without uttering a word, Lin Feng unleashed an Aggressive Punch.

Boom! Chi You was sent hurtling backward. The beasts on the ground, moments before jubilant, were now struck with stunned disbelief.

Chi You's countenance turned a ghastly pale. He was utterly incapable of evading Lin Feng's onslaught?

‘I despise those who resort to surprise attacks. I favor just and honorable combat!’ Lin Feng proclaimed, gesturing towards Chi You. A potent Qi surged forth. All the humans looked upon Lin Feng with profound admiration; their Protector was truly magnificent!

‘Hmph! As you wish!’ Chi You retorted icily. He ceased his attempts at stealthy assaults, especially since Lin Feng had already frustrated his previous maneuver. Clenching his fists, Chi You unleashed a powerful punch. A dark cloud materialized above him.

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. He channeled the might of his Ancestral Body, combined with his Dragon-Phoenix bloodline. Fusing these potent energies, a sun and a moon materialized before him, expanding rapidly. They enveloped the entire area.

His adversary's punch could shatter the heavens and the earth? Lin Feng's counter-strike, however, possessed the power to obliterate the entire world!

Tens of millions of spectators bore witness to the titanic clash between these two combatants.

The fate of ordinary humans and ordinary beasts hung precariously in the balance. This battle was not to be missed!

‘Hmph! My patience has reached its limit!’ Chi You declared with intense fury. Raw dragon Qi erupted forth. An eerie silence descended, as if the very fabric of the world was unraveling.

Lin Feng remained impassive. His Asura's Mask pulsed with energy. The sun and moon figures before him converged with Chi You's formidable punch.

A silent collision occurred, beyond the perception of sound. It felt as though all existence was succumbing to oblivion.

Subsequently, flashes of light erupted. Lin Feng let out a groan, forced to retreat several paces. Conversely, Chi You was propelled hundreds of zhang away, spewing copious amounts of blood.

All the beasts watched in utter astonishment. Their revered leader was being utterly defeated by this enigmatic human?

Chi You found himself in a dire condition, barely able to draw breath. This was not solely attributable to Lin Feng's might; Chi You's inability to properly regulate his energies stemmed from his prior injury.

Yet, he rapidly propelled himself back towards Lin Feng. A crimson glow illuminated the Ancestral World.

Chi You's horns had vanished. In their place, two incredibly sharp black blades materialized in his grasp, exuding an aura that seemed capable of cleaving through space and time!

“Hmph! I will employ my supreme weapons to eliminate you then! You ought to consider it an honor to meet your end in such a fashion!” Chi You proclaimed desperately, maneuvering and brandishing his blades. A wave of sheer terror washed over the assembled beasts.

Lin Feng nonchalantly scratched his neck. Blood? Those twin blades were truly astonishing! They had managed to wound him… Lin Feng possessed an Ancestral Body, a physique that typically rendered him impervious to ordinary weapons… yet these blades had the power to inflict injury!

“You wield supreme weapons; I possess them as well,” Lin Feng retorted, a frigid smile gracing his lips. An unnerving silence descended upon the arena. Every spectator, the beasts included, gazed at Lin Feng with bewildered expressions. The very air around Lin Feng seemed to shimmer and distort before a colossal axe materialized directly above his head.

Lin Feng made no move to grasp it; the formidable axe simply hovered, suspended in the air. It emanated pulsating cyan light, imbued with two distinct forms of Qi. An oppressive aura enveloped everyone present.

Pangu’s Axe! A supreme weapon indeed!

Upon witnessing Pangu’s Axe, Chi You’s heart constricted with dread. He finally grasped the identity of this enigmatic combatant!

“Lin Feng! It is you, as I suspected!…” Chi You gritted his teeth, his voice laced with animosity. Lin Feng had severed one of his arms and inflicted grievous wounds upon him… Chi You still required at least thirty more years to fully recuperate…

Yet, here was Lin Feng, present and seemingly more powerful than ever… Chi You found himself adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Perhaps it was time to bring this confrontation to a definitive close…

His twin black blades returned to his grasp. He could no longer wield them effectively, as Pangu’s Axe exerted an overwhelming pressure upon them.

Pangu’s Axe was the apex of all supreme weapons… It stood as the most potent artifact ever conceived!

“Chi You, summon your master,” Lin Feng commanded with an air of profound indifference.

Chi You fixed Lin Feng with a malevolent gaze, a twisted smile spreading across his face. “Hahaha! Lin Feng, even if I were to self-destruct, you would never lay a hand upon my master! Hahaha!

“Just you wait! When my master achieves a breakthrough to the Tian Dao layer, he shall obliterate you, you pathetic, worthless cur!”

Suddenly, Chi You’s body began to swell alarmingly. His complexion flushed a deep, ominous red. A collective gasp of horror rippled through the onlookers. Those few ancient cultivators present paled considerably.

“Quickly, retreat!” the two Ancient Godly Kings bellowed urgently. However, their pleas came too late.

Boom boom boom!

Chi You detonated. He recognized his inability to contend with Lin Feng and resolved to self-destonate, choosing suicide over defeat. This was a suicidal explosive, intended to harm Lin Feng and provide his teacher a window for escape.

——

The Man Huang Field was now devoid of any life. Everyone had been annihilated by the blast!

Crimson blood stained Lin Feng’s attire. It was the first time he had contemplated the sheer simplicity of death, the profound fragility of life. He bore injuries; a gaping hole marred his chest. A wry smile touched his lips as he plummeted from the sky, utterly devoid of Qi.

As Lin Feng descended, a figure clad in black materialized beside him. His robes billowed dramatically in the wind. His handsome features were etched with a profound sadness.

“I was compelled to safeguard my original body, necessitating your sacrifice…!”
