Chapter 217: Abandoning the Mission

Seeing Ye Feng’s demise, the once dazed uncle was filled with rage. His knees bent slightly before he exerted tremendous force. The ground where he stood cracked inch by inch, as if crushed by some heavy object. Meanwhile, he seemed to transcend spatial limitations and appeared right in front of Fat, swinging his hand like a blade and slashing at him fiercely.

In the void, wherever the blade passed, gaps tore open—these were no longer mere small spatial fissures but rather wounds created by the intense attack. At the same time, a dull roar echoed in the sky, giving the impression that some celestial punishment was about to descend.

Fat could also perform attacks that tore through space, but he didn’t think he could do so effortlessly without any weapons.

In fact, warriors with a cultivation level above Qi Jie San Xian were even stronger than early-stage Ling Xian in the celestial realm. Such powerful beings could affect the spatial stability of the cultivation world.

Fat remained calm, easily blocking the seemingly fierce attacks and quickly counterattacking.

To his surprise, the opponent didn’t dodge or evade but simply used his arm to block his attacks. What surprised him even more was that when his top-grade immortal dagger pierced the opponent’s arm, it only left a shallow scratch. The sensation transmitted back through the dagger felt as though it had pierced another top-grade immortal weapon.

“Is it just my illusion?” Fat couldn’t believe it. After several exchanges, he finally realized that his top-grade immortal dagger could no longer inflict any harm on the opponent.

“Physical cultivator?” Fat frowned slightly but quickly shook his head, discarding the idea. “At the Ling Xian stage, most physical cultivators have strength comparable to that of lower-grade immortal weapons, with a few reaching the strength of mid-grade immortal weapons. But it’s absolutely impossible for them to reach the strength of top-grade immortal weapons. Those physical cultivators who achieve such strength are all renowned throughout the celestial realm. How did he do this?”

At this moment, Kastedio walked over to Ye Feng’s corpse with a blank expression. Clearly, Ye Feng’s death was a shock to him. He still couldn’t believe what was happening, tears welling in his eyes. Lilith stood beside him, looking at Ye Feng’s body, which was almost split in two, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

“Kas, stop crying!” A familiar voice came from behind Kastdio. “I said I won’t die!”
Kastdio immediately turned around in surprise, wanting to confirm he wasn’t hallucinating. Ye Feng was standing not far away, smiling broadly. He turned back to look at the corpse on the ground earlier—it had disappeared, but bloodstains remained.
Lilith also had a surprised expression on her face. She couldn’t understand how Ye Feng had done it. “That corpse was real just now, not an illusion. How did you do that?”
“I said I won’t die!” Ye Feng winked at Lilith.
Not far away, Makas was also shocked to see Ye Feng reappear unharmed.
Roars continued to be heard in the sky, and the earth kept shaking. The people on the ground looked anxiously at the huge cracks in the sky caused by the fight between the two, growing increasingly uneasy.
Su Mo, hidden among the crowd, frowned slightly. She glanced at the resurrected Ye Feng, then turned to watch the two fighting in the sky. Her eyes could keep up with the rhythm of their battle, but she kept staring at the older man.
Ye Feng also looked up at the sky and shook his head lightly. “It’s simply a farce!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared and reappeared right between the two fighters. “Stop! Your fight is meaningless!”
The onlookers saw only a black figure appear between them, instantly turned to dust by their attacks.
But after the two separated, the figure reformed, and everyone realized it was Ye Feng, who had supposedly died earlier.
“Enough! I said this kind of fight is meaningless! If you keep going like this, you’ll destroy this planet!” Ye Feng said, looking at the two.
“How… did you do that?” Fat stared in shock at Ye Feng standing before him. He was certain he had killed Ye Feng. The collision earlier had surely killed him again, yet Ye Feng stood before him unharmed.
“I said I have an immortal body. No one can kill me! Even if you chop me into meat and wrap it in buns for people to eat, I’ll still come back to life.” Ye Feng spread his hands helplessly. “If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

“From the start, you shouldn’t have taken Su Rui’s order. Besides, you completely underestimated me, thinking I was just a lowly figure—that’s your biggest mistake.” As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, blood gushed from his mouth. He turned back in shock to find that the uncle with crimson eyes had pierced through his chest. “You…”

At that moment, a beam of white light shot down from the sky, enveloping the uncle. A woman in white appeared beside Ye Feng. “He has lost his sanity; all that remains is his instinct to fight. Don’t blame him!”

“I know!” Ye Feng, whose chest had been pierced, slowly disappeared, while another voice came from behind the woman in white.

The woman in white turned around in surprise. “You… really have an immortal body?”

“You’ve seen it yourself.” Ye Feng shrugged and pointed at the uncle. “Beauty, could you explain what’s going on here?”

“He’s from my Cult of Weapon Forging. He once used a secret technique to transform himself into a weapon. But something went wrong during the process, causing him to lose his personality and turning him into a killing machine. So we sealed him. Because the seal was too powerful, it affected his brain, leaving him with the intelligence of a three-year-old child. Just now, because of you, his anger broke through the seal, and he reverted to a killing machine. Once he becomes like this, he will completely forget everyone he knows and kill any obstacle in his path.” The woman in white sighed softly. “I must take him back and re-seal him.”

“Don’t you have any other way to cure him?” Ye Feng asked, feeling pity as he watched the uncle roaring angrily inside the white light.

“To some extent, he’s now half-human and half-weapon. We can’t treat him with human healing methods, nor can we throw him into a forging furnace to remanufacture him…” The woman in white shook her head gently. “The only solution is to seal him again.”

“Thank you for taking care of him all this time. He must really like you, otherwise he wouldn’t have broken through the seal… I must take him back…” The woman in white nodded slightly at Ye Feng with a smile.

“Wait, I think I might have a way to cure him!” Ye Feng seemed hesitant. He had always been reluctant to use the Ultimate Repair Power on that simple-minded uncle because he couldn’t bear to control someone as innocent as a three-year-old child. He believed that simplicity was a form of happiness for the uncle—everything was straightforward, with only two choices: yes or no, no need for complicated considerations.

“Can you really do it?” The woman in white was somewhat skeptical, but since Ye Feng already possessed immortality, nothing seemed strange to happen to him.

“I can give it a try!” Ye Feng nodded and stepped toward the uncle.

His scarlet eyes were filled with a desire for slaughter. Ye Feng took a deep breath and extended his right hand toward the uncle’s forehead.

“Ultimate Repair Power successfully used. 1 remaining use!”

A white beam of light emerged from Ye Feng’s palm and slowly sank into the uncle’s forehead. The scarlet eyes gradually regained clarity, but the fierce aura remained unchanged. The way they looked at Ye Feng now carried a hint of reverence—clearly, the absolute control exerted by the Ultimate Repair Power had taken effect.

“Go home with her!” Without waiting for the uncle to speak, Ye Feng shook his head at him.

The uncle immediately understood and nodded. “Thank you!”

“Did you really do it?” The woman in white was filled with disbelief.

“You don’t need to seal him anymore.” Ye Feng nodded. “I just tried it; I didn’t expect it to work.”

“Thank you! It seems I’ve exceeded my goals on my first mission!” The woman smiled playfully at Ye Feng.

“Beauty, you still haven’t told me your name!” Ye Feng smiled at her.

“I’m Su Mo! I’m already at the later stage of the Great Vehicle cultivation. Want to chase me? First, ascend to the heavens!” The woman teased back.

“Uh… okay, I’ll take it as a sign that I’ll have another chance in the future.” Ye Feng was surprised by her directness. After a brief pause, he smiled.

“Uncle Meng, let’s go!” With a slight wave, the white light covering the uncle disappeared.

The two of them vanished from everyone’s sight.

“Uncle Meng? His surname is Meng?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. “The sect leader of the Weapon Refining Sect is Meng Lei. Could he really be…”

“We’re not done yet!” Another voice sounded behind Ye Feng.

“How many times do I have to say it before you understand?” Ye Feng turned to face Fat behind him. “You’re wasting your time.”

“Fate, give up. The longer you stay in this form, the worse your injuries will get,” Kastio stepped in front of Ye Feng.
“What exactly did you do to Kast?” Fate still refused to let go easily.
“I renewed the contract with him. Now he has human emotions and no longer worships God. I’m not God; I won’t treat my own people like he treated angels. I won’t manipulate others’ thoughts. He can do whatever he wants, as long as it’s not immoral… I won’t interfere.” Ye Feng knew Fate didn’t believe him.
“That’s impossible. That contract can’t be replaced!” Fate shook his head.
“It’s true!” Lilith appeared beside Kastio and said to him, “Show him your wings!”
Kastio spread his wings. Those invisible wings surprised Fate slightly. He could sense their presence, but they were no longer pure white.
“My energy attributes are also changing slowly. I’m no longer a light elemental being; I’ve become a true human, with human emotions. Fate, this is what I’ve always dreamed of—no illusion, just real feelings. I know you want to kill the BOSS not just because of that necklace, but mainly because of me…”
Fate knew that the old Kastio would never have said such things, because he had no idea how much effort and time he had spent maintaining this big family he had built.
“Houmulis is a big family. You’re our eldest brother, and that will never change. Fate, I can finally understand what you’re feeling now. You should be happy for me! I won’t give cold ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers like before. I have emotions now; I can react like a normal person.” Kastio’s words made Fate slowly close his eyes.
“Alright, I’ll give up on this mission…”
