We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor? Chapter 33 : Chapter 33

Chapter 33. A Dark Horse Rises Out of Nowhere—How Could It Be Him?!

What kind of demonic beast had been slain for such a terrifying surge to erupt all at once?!

The blood pillar shot upward in a single leap, quickly reaching its absolute peak.

In the end, it stopped at around one hundred and fifty zhang.

“One hundred and fifty zhang!”

“Hiss… How is that possible? What did this person kill? Only a Condensing Dao Realm Demonic Beast could make it rise this fast!”

“Wait—look closely! Who is the owner of that token?!”

Many people at the banquet cried out in shock. Soon, soone with a sharp eye fixed their gaze on the na engraved upon the token that had surged so abruptly.

Everyone looked over.

They saw two dazzling, golden characters etched upon it.

Chu Feng!

The owner of that token was, unmistakably, Chu Feng!

At this mont, the blood pillar on Chu Feng’s token stood at one hundred and fifty zhang. It crushed every prodigy present—no one could contend with him.

Before Chu Feng, the highest had been Chu Xinghe’s fifty zhang. Yet Chu Xinghe had fallen in an instant.

The blood pillar on his token had also dispersed and vanished.

As for the other prodigies—such as Chu Tianchen and Chu ngyao—those two were still struggling around thirty to forty zhang, with no major changes.

“Chu Feng! How could it be Chu Feng?!”

“It makes no sense. Everyone knows what kind of person Chu Feng is. How could he possibly have such results?”

“One hundred and fifty zhang ans at least the top three, perhaps even the top two! The championship is not impossible!”

In the hall, countless people were stunned by Chu Feng’s sudden rise.

Chu Feng ranked as the Third Prince. His birth mother was Consort Yu, and behind her stood the Jade Family, a colossal power.

Chu Feng’s status was noble, and his maternal clan’s background soared to the heavens, yet he had always been a wastrel.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never displayed any notable talent in cultivation.

Unlike the other princes and princesses, who possessed powerful gifts and physiques—

They had shown their brilliance early on and attracted the attention of countless important figures within the imperial clan.

Chu Feng’s aptitude had been average, utterly ordinary.

Thus, from an early age, he had beco a libertine—wasting his days in revelry, intoxicated by pleasure and beauty, abandoning cultivation.

With the support of the imperial clan and his maternal clan, he held the rank of Third Prince, yet he possessed only early Life Palace Realm cultivation, which drew intense disdain.

After all, even the Ninth Princess, Chu ngyao, who was far younger than him, was vastly stronger.

As a wastrel, Chu Feng had not been favored by anyone in this Heavenly Hunt Ceremony.

Yet he had drawn considerable attention all the sa.

The reason was simple: people wanted to gloat and watch Consort Yu lose face.

And yet…Chu Feng’s blood pillar had now soared to one hundred and fifty zhang.

It was almost one hundred percent certain—at least the top three!

An unmatched existence, crushing the rest by an entire tier!

“One hundred and fifty zhang…”

At the banquet, shock surfaced in Consort Yu’s fox-like eyes!

She had never imagined that Chu Feng would reach such a level in a single leap.

“How could this be? The Dragon-Sealing Needle I bestowed upon him should not possess such might…”

Consort Yu understood the artifact she had given him. It was absolutely insufficient to help Chu Feng achieve such astonishing results.

Therefore, he must have other trump cards!

An unusual light flickered within Consort Yu’s fox-like eyes. No one knew what she was thinking at this mont.

Because of Chu Feng’s teoric rise, the entire banquet suddenly fell into commotion.

The imperial clan’s great figures discussed it heatedly, and even the four Imperial Princes were no exception.

anwhile, beside Prince Canghai, Consort Yun suddenly widened her eyes and murmured, “Impossible… How could that piece of trash have such results?”

She was still drowning in the agony of losing her son. The enormous shock had twisted her mind into a bitter, chaotic state.

And now, seeing the Third Prince Chu Feng—whom she had always scorned—crush everyone and ascend to first place…

Consort Yun’s pupils reddened slightly. She could not believe it.

Prince Canghai’s gaze was equally dark, his surprise evident.

“This is not his own strength.” Prince Canghai spoke coldly.

The crowd continued discussing Chu Feng’s sudden rise for a long ti.

Only when, among the several hundred tokens, prodigies began dying one after another—tokens turning dark and lightless—did many people at the banquet finally beco unable to remain seated.

Most of the major figures of the imperial clan who had co here had juniors participating within the ceremony.

Now, as the number of fallen prodigies increased, it had already affected many of them.

They looked carefully.

Among the several hundred tokens, more than half had already beco dim and lightless!

This situation was extrely abnormal!

“This… What on earth is inside the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony? This death rate is already beyond normal!”

“Looking back through the past, the death rate of the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony was only around ten percent at most—no more than twenty percent!”

“Now more than half the prodigies are dead. There must be sothing suspicious!”

Many major figures of the imperial clan could no longer sit still. They rose to their feet and looked toward the weak and powerless Chu Emperor upon the dragon throne.

“Holy Emperor, half of the prodigies sent inside have already died. It must be terminated imdiately!”

“Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony could never lose so many!”

In an instant, more than a hundred major figures stood up and offered remonstrance to the Chu Emperor.

The four Imperial Princes also felt that sothing was off. However, none of their descendants had entered this ti.

The only one with any personal connection here was Prince Canghai.

On the dragon throne, the Chu Emperor opened his eyes again. His gaze remained clouded and vacant as he listened to everyone’s words.

In the end, after a long ti passed, he finally spoke slowly, “The Heavenly Hunt Ceremony is a tradition passed down through the ages. It must not be terminated lightly.”

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Soone could not help but say, “But if we allow this to continue, more and more prodigies will die. Our Great Chu imperial clan may suffer a break in succession!”

Every generation of the Great Chu imperial clan produced prodigies in abundance.

For a colossal power of the Eastern Wasteland to maintain prosperity for tens of thousands—even hundreds of thousands—of years, the cultivation of prodigies was the foremost priority.

Each generation had several hundred prodigies. From among them, those who rose through competition would ultimately beco powerhouses, the pillars of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Yet in this session, half had already been lost. It was profoundly abnormal!

At this mont, the Chu Emperor looked as though he were approaching his limit, making people seriously doubt whether he still possessed normal clarity of thought.

After a long while, he finally spoke, “If that is the case…”

“Elder Zhao, go inside and take a look. See what exactly has happened.” The Chu Emperor said weakly.

Elder Zhao was the stooped old man beside the Chu Emperor.

After hearing this, he nodded slightly and, expressionless, walked toward the void vortex leading into the Royal Hunting Grounds.

BOOM!

With a single step, Elder Zhao entered directly!

At the banquet, deep within Consort Yun’s eyes burned a thick hatred. Chu Xinghe had died, yet no one had been sent inside to investigate.

Only now, after so many prodigies had died, did they make such a decision.

Could it be that, in the Chu Emperor’s eyes, her gifted biological son was not as important as others?!
