I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

A small world, atop the ruins of a battlefield.

As Jin Wuji fled, the surroundings became completely quiet.

Chu Feng's tense nerves relaxed, and an indescribable feeling of weakness swept over his entire body like a tide.

His vision went black, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Owner!"

"Chu Feng!"

Zhuge Yue and Fairy Yuechan quickly grabbed him from either side and held him firmly in place.

"I'm fine."

Chu Feng waved his hand, struggling to maintain his balance.

This time, he was seriously injured.

In the final clash with Jin Wuji, although he shattered the opponent's ancestral will by relying on his awakened mysterious bloodline, he also paid a heavy price.

His entire skeleton and meridians were almost completely severed, and his internal organs were displaced. His indestructible body was covered with deep cracks that revealed the bone.

If it weren't for the Undying Heavenly Art and that mysterious bloodline power keeping him alive, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's find a place to heal our wounds first."

Chu Feng looked around. Although the geniuses who had been drawn by the aftermath of the battle had retreated, no one could be sure that they might come back for a surprise attack.

I know a place.

Zhuge Yue spoke, taking out the spatial crystal and then activating her power to sense something.

After a moment, she pointed in one direction: "Over there, there's an area with rather chaotic spatial nodes. It's very secluded and suitable for hiding."

"Okay, let's go there."

Chu Feng nodded.

The three of them, along with the still bewildered Aman, quickly left this place of trouble.

Half an hour later, deep in a valley shrouded in rocks and miasma, they found a naturally formed cave.

Zhuge Yue then set up several layers of spatial restrictions at the cave entrance to isolate the aura, only then did he feel completely at ease.

Inside the cave, Chu Feng sat cross-legged, took out several healing elixirs from his storage ring, and swallowed them without hesitation.

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into streams of pure life energy that began to repair the damaged meridians within his body.

At the same time, the Undying Heavenly Art was operating wildly, and the golden Undying Blood was also flowing faster, nourishing his nearly collapsing body.

"Kid, you've really messed up this time."

In her mind's eye, the demoness's languid voice rang out, yet it carried a hint of lingering fear.

"To think you could possibly try to defy the Emperor's will. If it weren't for the sudden eruption of your mysterious bloodline, you would already be annihilated, soul and all."

The Thunder Lord's domineering voice followed: "However, I must say, your bloodline is quite powerful! It's even more domineering than my Heavenly Thunder Body from back then!"

"The bloodline of that Golden Ancient Clan was considered top-tier even in the Primordial Era. To be able to suppress it head-on, the source of your bloodline must be extraordinary." Master Li Er's gentle voice carried a hint of surprise.

While healing his injuries, Chu Feng communicated with several powerful figures in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Seniors, do you know the origin of my bloodline?"

This is his biggest concern.

This power had been dormant within him for a long time, and only today, stimulated by the Emperor's will, did it truly reveal the tip of the iceberg.

That primal, domineering aura, seemingly above all the heavens and myriad paths, even startled him.

However, when faced with his question, the several well-informed bigwigs all fell silent.

"Strange... This power doesn't belong to any top-tier bloodline I know of." Jiuyou's voice carried a hint of confusion.

"Indeed, it is neither god, nor demon, nor monster... but rather like a... pure condensation of the will to 'fight'," the Master mused.

"Who cares about its origins, as long as it works!" Lei Zhu was quite easygoing. "You just need to know that this thing is awesome, that's enough!"

Helpless, Chu Feng could only suppress this question in his heart for the time being.

He focused his mind on his body, guiding the medicinal power to heal his injuries while taking stock of his spoils.

Huangfu Tian, ​​Jin Lie, Li Wuxin... these geniuses he killed were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and their storage rings were filled with mountains of valuable items.

Spirit stones, elixirs, sacred weapons, cultivation techniques... a dazzling array.

However, for Chu Feng now, these things are merely icing on the cake.

What he truly valued was the jade slip containing the secrets of the "key" that he obtained from Shen Wuque.

He separated a wisp of his divine sense and probed into the jade slip.

Inside the jade slip was a tattered map. At the end of the map was a blurry pattern, resembling an ancient altar.

In addition, there are some scattered records.

"Heavenly Lock... Origin of Ten Thousand Paths... Blood of Gods and Demons... Fallen Emperor's Land..."

Chu Feng frowned as he looked at the vague words.

All of this information clearly points to a huge secret.

The core of this secret is the "key," which is Aman.

"Master, can you see anything?" Chu Feng shared the contents of the jade slip with Li Er in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Master remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity.

"Kid, you've really messed things up this time."

"If I'm not mistaken, the place indicated on this map should be the 'core center' of this small world."

"And Ah Man, this 'key,' may unlock not only this small world, but... an ancient ruin sealed away for countless years, a forbidden land where even a Great Emperor once perished!"

Even the Great Emperor once fell?

Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

"The Divine Court went to great lengths to obtain Aman, probably for that place," the Master continued. "There must be an extraordinary opportunity there, but it is also accompanied by immense danger."

Chu Feng's gaze fell on the little girl not far away, who was happily munching on a spirit stone.

He now understood why Shen Wuque had been so overjoyed and greedy when he saw Aman.

"To go, or not to go?"

Chu Xingfeng fell into deep thought.

Risks and opportunities coexist.

Given his current condition, venturing into any forbidden place would undoubtedly be a near-certain death.

However, if he can seize the opportunity, his strength will surely leap forward once again.

At that time, he will have more confidence whether it is to seek revenge or to go to the Jiang clan to bring back his wife and children.

"Let's do it!"

After only a moment's thought, Chu Feng made up his mind.

The path of martial arts is inherently about contending with heaven, fighting against earth, and seizing power from others.

A timid and hesitant person will never become a true strongman.

Just then, the Moon Fairy, who had been quietly healing, suddenly opened her eyes.

Her injuries were much lighter than Chu Feng's, and with the help of elixirs, she had recovered to about 70-80%.

She looked at Chu Feng, her usually cool face showing a complex expression.

From the initial warnings to fighting side by side, and then witnessing Chu Feng defy the Emperor's will...

This man kept redefining her understanding of things.

His strength, his indomitable spirit, his madness—all were like a brand, deeply etched into her heart.

She found that it was difficult to take her eyes off him.

"Your injury..." Fairy Yuechan spoke, her voice still cold, but with a hint of concern that she herself was unaware of.

"I won't die." Chu Feng grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Looking at Fairy Yuechan's stunningly beautiful face, he suddenly felt a mischievous urge and leaned closer to whisper, "Fairy, you seem to care about me so much, could it be that you've taken a liking to me? Or, once we leave this little world, would you submit to me and become my bed warmer?"
