After a night of pleasure, Chu Feng's vigor hadn't dropped; instead, his control over his aura had improved.
That was the result of 'working' with Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong—clearly, such activities should be repeated more often in the future.
Outside, the morning sun was slowly rising.
Chu Feng first draped his clothes over the two women on the pillow, then stretched and stepped outside.
He bumped straight into Xiao Wu; her graceful figure knocked right into his chest.
Chu Feng teased, "Up so early?"
"Hmph, I never thought you'd be that kind of person."
Xiao Wu blushed; having spied from next door last night, she simply couldn't hide anything.
Chu Feng spread his hands innocently. "What kind? I've always believed in honesty and mutual benefit—no deception."
At the hint, Xiao Wu's face reddened further. Like her Spirit rabbit, she tried to hop away, but before she could lift her head Chu Feng turned slightly and she ended up hugging him tightly.
"Little bunny, still trying to run?"
Chu Feng brushed her nose, blew softly on her hair, and said, "Smells nice."
"Pervert!"
Xiao Wu ducked and escaped, glaring at him fiercely.
"By the way, how are you adapting to the Spirit Ascension I gave you yesterday?"
Chu Feng knew forced fruit isn't sweet; besides, the air was chilly—it was time for proper business.
Xiao Wu hugged herself, eyes slanting. "I can feel power trembling inside, but I'm not sure what to do. Is this something that can evolve a Spirit?"
Chu Feng nodded. "Good guess. You were born a Spirit Beast; after Spirit Ascension you'll gain purer strength, which should also purge your demonic state."
Only half understanding, Xiao Wu asked, "But you seem dead set on boosting my strength. Are you plotting something?"
Chu Feng stepped closer, staring straight at her until she froze, then smiled confidently: "I'm preparing to make you a god."
"Hmm?"
Xiao Wu was stunned. She'd heard legends of deities and had even begun to believe Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were gods, but finding herself chosen felt unbelievable.
A god? After more thought she still deemed it unreachable—equivalent to a million-year breakthrough for a Spirit Beast, nearly impossible.
"You can really make me a god?"
Xiao Wu murmured. Since following Chu Feng she'd seen countless miracles turn real, yet comprehension still eluded her.
Chu Feng offered no further answer; when the time was ripe, success would follow naturally.
He had a more pressing task: break the invisible formation. To ascend Mount Buzhou, the array had to be destroyed first.
While enjoying himself last night, Chu Feng had released strands of Primordial Chaos Aura, gathering plenty of information.
The formation was indeed extraordinary; its caster possessed at least top-tier Divinity strength.
It covered the twelve foremost peaks surrounding Mount Buzhou, each segment linked—dissolve one and another triggers a destructive mechanism. Only by removing all twelve simultaneously could safety be ensured.
"Interesting."
Chu Feng mused, then headed toward a summit of the twelve peaks; locating the interconnections would be simple for him.
The System stirred restlessly, apparently affected by the current karmic forces of heaven and earth.
Xiao Wu had wanted to warn him against rash action, but when she turned he was already gone.
All she saw were Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong slowly emerging from the house, their alluring figures proof of last night's fierce battle.
"Where is he? He went to break the formation without us?"
Qian Renxue's face paled with worry for Chu Feng.
Bibi Dong shot her a disdainful glance. "With your combat stamina, why would he take you?"
"And yours is higher? Don't know who started snoring first last night," Qian Renxue retorted.
Xiao Wu covered her mouth, amazed that mother and daughter could be so comical.
Seeing her laugh, Bibi Dong demanded, "What are you giggling at? Why didn't you keep an eye on him?"
Xiao Wu was bewildered—how had the gun swiveled toward her?
Then Devil Bear Douluo and Flame Eagle Douluo hurried over; they'd been patrolling the area at dawn.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from the summit.
Aoo~
The roar shook heaven and earth, sending the thunderclouds around Mount Buzhou into chaos.
All Seventy-Two Peaks of Star Dou were swept by fierce hurricanes, and the demons that had fled Spirit City reappeared overhead.
Even more terrifying, the sky lost all light, save for a faint, eerie cyan glow.
Bibi Dong grew uneasy, whispering, "Could something have happened to Chu Feng?"
"Don't talk nonsense; he never acts without certainty. We must trust him," Qian Renxue said, though she bit her lip hard—she too was distraught.
Seeing the two superiors so anxious, Devil Bear Douluo nervously asked, "There are dragons on Mount Buzhou? But dragons vanished in ancient times."
"What's a dragon?"
Xiao Wu and Flame Eagle Douluo were equally stunned.
At that moment, the sky above them turned utterly black, as if death itself had descended.
Qian Renxue looked up first and exclaimed, "That's a dragon?"
Indeed it was—only its size was staggering, spanning the entire radius of the Seventy-Two Peaks.
"Its whole body is black, and those scars on its hide look like bleeding wounds—definitely not something good," Devil Bear Douluo muttered.
Then the dragon began to descend.
"Don't jinx us, uncle!" Xiao Wu shouted, but it was too late.
The dragon, enraged, roared repeatedly—the five of them had become its targets.
Instantly, Flame Eagle Douluo panicked. "What do we do? Without spirit power or divine force, we can't stop it!"
"Watch out!" Bibi Dong cried as the black dragon's claw slammed down.
Everyone scattered; after a thunderous boom they survived by luck.
Yet the claw had shattered half the peak and drained all their strength.
Qian Renxue gasped; she'd never suffered such indignity and cursed, "Damn it!"
"Indeed, damn it. The caster planned well—once the formation breaks, the Black Dragon God is released," Chu Feng declared, descending on the wind.
