"How is this possible? What kind of monster are you?"

Gazing at the figure standing unscathed amidst the lightning, the skeletal Bizarre, which had revealed its true form, widened its eyes in disbelief.

"Don't stop... keep increasing the intensity!"

Watching the dwindling bolts of lightning, Chu Feng frowned in dissatisfaction.

He had been hoping that this vast expanse of lightning could help him cultivate his Vajra Glazed Body to Completion!

"Devil... you're the devil!"

As the skeletal Bizarre's incredulous voice sounded, the lightning in the sky began to recede, only occasionally flashing within the clouds.

Just as the dark clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating, a bird's cry suddenly echoed from high in the distance.

A dazzling flame flared, and another skeletal Bizarre, shrouded in black mist, suddenly appeared in the air.

Tiny sparks danced on the Bizarre's body, causing the black mist around it to churn violently as it tried to extinguish the flickering sparks.

"Heh~ Thinking of running now that you can't win?"

Watching the Bizarre's body dissipate on one side and the newly appeared figure on the other, Chu Feng let out a sneer.

How could I let you go? My Golden Spirit Jade Liquid is in dire need of your contribution!

As he formed a series of Hand Seals, a melodious cry instantly echoed through the space.

"KREEE!"

The next second, everything within Chu Feng's sight was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.

The extreme heat instantaneously burned everything on the ground to ashes, with ordinary soil rapidly turning into lava.

A great sun rose from within the boundless sea of fire, hanging high in the sky, wantonly radiating its light and heat.

Within the great sun, the silhouette of a divine bird could be faintly seen.

At times, it landed within the great sun, breathing in and out True Fire; at other times, it soared through the Sky Vault, showering down endless divine radiance.

"Let me go... Let me go! Otherwise, I'll make those ants die with me!"

The skeletal Bizarre, amidst the scorching flames, held up a delicate model of a city, its voice laced with bone-deep hatred.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged in the face of its threats; he didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Go!"

Following Chu Feng's cold command from within the Formation, the divine bird, which had appeared serene, instantly dove down and, with a single gulp, swallowed the skeletal Bizarre still struggling painfully in the sea of fire.

"DING! Congratulations to the Host for killing a Devil (Low Rank). You will receive the following rewards:

1. System Points: One thousand points.

2. Divine Origin Substance: Fifteen points."

The moment the system prompt sounded, Chu Feng immediately sat down cross-legged.

With a quick Finger Technique, the endless True Fire around him instantly converged into the great sun. In the blink of an eye, only a slightly rough Array Plate remained suspended in the air.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Array Plate instantly transformed into a streak of light and fell into Chu Feng's hand.

Stroking the still-warm Array Plate, a smile touched Chu Feng's lips.

He was extremely satisfied with the power demonstrated by the True Sun Blazing Fire Formation in its first appearance.

Of course, the downside was also obvious: it consumed True Yuan a bit too quickly.

Looking at his empty dantian, the corner of Chu Feng's eye twitched slightly.

I need to break through to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible!

With a mental command, nearly two thousand System Points were instantly consumed, replaced by True Yuan that now filled his body to the brim.

The amount of Divine Origin Substance had now reached forty points, just ten points shy of his goal.

The number of Devil-level Bizarres is too small! It'll likely be difficult to encounter another one anytime soon. It seems I'll have to go looking for trouble with those Evil Spirits!

Chu Feng furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before deciding to take the initiative.

Although with his current strength, the chance of the system rewarding Divine Origin Substance for killing Evil Spirit level Bizarres had decreased significantly.

But the number of Evil Spirit level Bizarres was increasing. With some luck, he might be able to accumulate the full fifty points of Divine Origin Substance.

"NNGH..."

With a groan, Monte, who was within the Spirit Trapping Formation, finally awoke from his unconscious state.

The moment the sky-spanning lightning had descended, this ordinary man, who had experienced countless perilous moments in a single day, couldn't withstand the terrifying scene. Darkness flooded his vision, and he collapsed.

"Awake?" Chu Feng, stepping over the slowly cooling lava, walked up to Monte.

With a casual wave of his hand, a delicate Array Plate instantly returned to his grasp.

"Mr. Chu Feng, what... has happened?"

Monte involuntarily swallowed, looking at the surroundings resembling the aftermath of a volcanic eruption.

Could lightning cause such devastation? And how did this man survive that nearly apocalyptic scenario?

All sorts of questions flooded Monte's mind, but he did not receive an answer from Chu Feng.

"Since you're awake, we should head back. I still have things to do!"

No sooner had he spoken than, without waiting for Monte to react, Chu Feng's hand once again landed on his shoulder.

The next second, a rainbow light instantly streaked across the sky.

...

"Li Mi... where are you planning to go?"

Monte, who had just landed, hesitated for a moment before speaking to the girl loading numerous bags into a car.

After placing the last backpack into the car, Li Mi patted her hands and then turned to face the two who had just landed.

"To New York, of course!"

Although Li Mi was answering Monte, her eyes were unwaveringly fixed on Chu Feng, whom she had just seen again.

"Why? Isn't this place good enough?"

Hearing that his crush was leaving the city, Monte immediately became anxious.

He used to be able to use the excuse of "just passing by" to visit his crush often. Once she left this city, who knew when they would meet again!

"Monte, I'm sorry!" Li Mi took a deep breath, her face showing an unprecedented seriousness.

"Perhaps something I did gave you the wrong impression! But... it's impossible between us! I really don't have feelings for you!"

Li Mi's voice was sincere. She truly hoped this former classmate of hers could let go of this affection that had never even begun.

"I..."

Hearing her words, Monte felt a sudden roaring in his mind.

His fists clenched tightly, trembling slightly. After a long moment, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

And with that, he turned and walked away!

Chu Feng, who had intended to leave immediately, never expected to witness a real-life romantic drama unfold.

Too bad this real-life drama didn't have a third party; otherwise, it might have been even more interesting!

"Mr. Chu Feng, may I treat you to a meal after I move to New York?" Seeing Monte walk away, Li Mi's voice immediately softened considerably.

"ER..."

Chu Feng, who had just been an onlooker, was momentarily stunned by her words.

"Maybe some other time... We'll see!"

After giving a noncommittal answer, Chu Feng's eyes shifted, and he directly asked about something else.

"Where's James? Wasn't he supposed to leave with you all?"

Seeing Chu Feng change the subject, Li Mi wasn't flustered. Instead, she chuckled lightly, as if she had already anticipated this outcome.

"Mr. James left not long ago; it seems he had some urgent business!"
