âEveryone, itâs fine. If he dares to challenge me, I dare to accept it.â Chu Feng pulled his hand away from Little Fishyâs grasp. âIâd like to see what heâs up to.â
Chu Feng leaped onto the weird stone platform and immediately felt a surge of energy entering his body. A smile crept onto his lips as he remarked, âI see.â
He already knew what the formation was for. It was a valuable treasure, but it could only be used once. That explained why Huangfu Jiangyao and the others showed conflicted looks when Huangfu Shengyu used itâthey thought that it was a pity to use it here.
âChu Feng, I thought youâd have an amazing Heavenly Lightning Bloodline after you induced such a formidable phenomenon.â Huangfu Shengyu noticed how relaxed Chu Feng was after stepping onto the stone platform and burst into laughter, though his smile looked extremely ugly as his face was warped in pain.
âIs there something wrong with you? Youâre acting so smug even though Chu Feng is having it so much easier than you,â Feng Ling retorted.
âYou donât know a thing at all. This is a dueling ring for possessors of the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline to pit their bloodlines against each other. The stronger the bloodline, the greater the energy they have to bear. Naturally, they would be in greater pain too. Chu Feng is only having it easy because his bloodline is too weak,â Huangfu Jiangyao explained.
âA bunch of ignorant fools. Thereâs no need to explain it to them.â Huangfu Shengyu kept his eyes on Chu Feng, paying no heed to the crowdâs thoughts.
âDueling ring? Damn it!â Little Fishy cursed as she prepared to step into the dueling ring.
Of what Huangfu Jiangyao said, the only two words that registered with her were âdueling ringâ. Clearly, this was a trap the despicable Huangfu Shengyu had laid for Chu Feng.
Just as Little Fishy was about to make a move, Xianhai Shaoyu stopped her and said, âCalm down, my little sister. Just watch the situation first. As long as Iâm around, I wonât allow anyone to take advantage of your big brother.â
âChu Feng, you defeated me yesterday through your world spirit, but how could you, as a possessor of the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, choose to focus on your spirit power instead of your martial cultivation? You are an embarrassment to the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline!
âToday, I shall show you how powerful the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline is. Everything else is worthless before it, and this includes the Rulerâs Bloodline. The Heavenly Lightning Bloodline is the strongest bloodline in the world of cultivation, towering above all other bloodlines!â Huangfu Shengyu exclaimed.
His surroundings started to tremble. Dark clouds swiftly rolled in and shrouded the clear sky, as lightning crackled ominously within.
Huangfu Shengyu had induced a phenomenon, and it wasnât just limited to the sky!
Grar!
A piercing howl echoed, as Huangfu Shengyu unleashed a nine-colored lightning that morphed into the shape of nine colossal beasts. These lightning beasts were over ten thousand meters in height, which wasnât particularly big, but the auras they emanated were even more terrifying than the clouds above. The crowd trembled in fear.
âIs this your bloodline? Saint-tier?â Chu Feng asked.
âStill putting on an act? The disparity in bloodline power marks oneâs standing. You should kneel down and submit to me!â Huangfu Shengyu said.
Pain had vanished from his face, leaving behind a domineering attitude. He had never lost on this dueling ring before with his Saint-tier Heavenly Lightning Bloodline. No matter how strong Chu Fengâs world spirit was, it didnât stand a chance against him in this dueling ring.
Cultivation didnât matter on this dueling ringâall that mattered was the prowess of oneâs Heavenly Lightning Bloodline. Even if a True God level cultivator stepped onto the dueling ring instead of Chu Feng, they would still have no choice but to submit to Huangfu Shengyu if their bloodline was weaker than his.
âIs this the true prowess of the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline? I didnât think it would be this powerful!â
The surrounding crowd frowned upon seeing the bloodline power Huangfu Shengyu emanated. As much as they didnât like Huangfu Shengyu, they had to admit that he was strong.
âHehâ¦â
In contrast, Chu Feng shook his head and chuckled. His eyes suddenly turned grim, and a surge of nine-colored lightning burst forth from his body.
Boom!
The world shook so much that everyone had trouble keeping their balance. The burst of lightning was so powerful that it dissipated the dark clouds above and enveloped the sky as if proclaiming the area to be their domain.
It was another nine lightning beasts, but they were so massive that they covered the entire area. It was impossible to gauge their sizes. This formed a stark contrast to the nine lightning beasts Huangfu Shengyu had manifested.
Huangfu Shengyuâs lightning beasts might be ten thousand meters high, but they were no more than ants before Chu Fengâs lightning beasts,
âThis feeling! Whatâs going on?â
Long Chengyu, Long Muxi, Xianhai Shaoyu, Xianhai Yuâer, Xian Miaomiao, and the other possessors of bloodline powers felt incredible pressure coming from their souls. Even those who had Divine Bodies or practiced Mysterious Techniques felt the pressure too, though it was not as great as possessors of bloodline powers.
The ones who suffered the most were those with the Heavenly Bloodline, such as the Huangfus. Huangfu Jiangyao and the others kneeled on the floor the moment the nine lightning beasts appeared, not because they wanted to kneel down but because their knees had caved in.
âW-w-whatâs going on?â
Huangfu Jiangyao and the others stared at the nine lightning beasts with trembling lips. They knew what was going on, as possessors of the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline themselves, but they couldnât accept it.
For what they were witnessing was the prowess of Chu Fengâs bloodline.
