The light intensified, as it further expanded to envelop all of the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen. However, the light didnât last for too long before dissipating.
Jie Tianran stood alone in the sky, with all of the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen floating lifelessly around him, including the Heavenly God level Huangfu Bufan.
âSo fast?â
While the crowd did think that Jie Tianran might be strong enough to subdue Huangfu Bufan, they didnât think that he would win so easily. After all, his enemy was a legendary Heavenly God level cultivator!
âThat old thing dares to kill our Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen?â Huangfu Zhantianâs eyes blazed with murderous intent, but he quickly turned to Song Changsheng with a fearful look.
He didnât know what kind of ties Song Changshen had with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
Song Changsheng hesitated. He didnât want to be a busybody, but he knew that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansionâs Mansion Master was an obstacle in Chu Fengâs way. Thus, he said, âIâm not close with him.â
Huangfu Zhantian immediately caught Song Changshengâs drift. He brandished his spear, ready to charge into the Pulse Ignition Realm.
Boom!
Just then, a pillar of light gushed into the sky, shattering all of the lightning chains in its path. That was a formation Jie Tianran had released from his body.
âThat old thing!â Huangfu Zhantian stopped in his tracks.
Even Song Changsheng frowned as well. This was a situation he hadnât expected.
Jie Tianran was stronger than he had expected.
â¦
Jie Tianran looked even more incredible when viewing his prowess from within the Pulse Ignition Realm. The lightning chains in the sky shattered, but they didnât fall to the ground. Instead, they were being held up by formidable spirit power.
This spirit power could easily obliterate not just True Gods but even realms.
If pinnacle True God level cultivators had to exert their full strength to destroy realms, Jie Tianran needed no more than a mere thought to pull it off. Harnessed inside his small and insignificant physique was a devastating power capable of obliterating everything.
The breathing of the powerhouses present hastened. Their eyes were filled with not just deference but terror.
Jie Tianran raised his head and looked at the sky. His eyes peered through the realmâs atmosphere and reached Huangfu Zhantian.
âHear me, Huangfu Heavenly Clansman. Itâs the Huangfu Heavenly Clan who have crossed us, present-day cultivators, for no good reason today, and those who participated deserve death. You may come after our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion if you seek vengeance, but youâll have to bear the consequences,â Jie Tianran said.
He opened his palm, and a bundle of spirit power rose.
The thousands of Huangfu Heavenly Clansmenâs corpses and the shattered lightning chains were swiftly sucked into the formation.
âHe⦠sees me?â Huangfu Zhantian was appalled. He turned to Song Changsheng and asked, âDid he witness my defeat to you too?â
He seemed more concerned by his defeat than Jie Tianranâs threat.
âHe canât see me,â Song Changsheng replied.
âThatâs good,â Huangfu Zhantian replied with a relieved sigh.
He took out an item reminiscent of a mirror and formed a series of peculiar hand seals. Soon, the mirror morphed into a spirit formation gate, and a person stepped out from within.
It was Huangfu Shangwu.
âPaying respects to Lord Zhantian!â Huangfu Shangwu hurriedly bowed to Huangfu Zhantian. His body was shaking so much as if he just had the scare of his life, though he visibly calmed down a little upon seeing Huangfu Zhantian.
This showed that his fear didnât originate from Huangfu Zhantian.
âYou canât see him?â Huangfu Zhantian asked as he gestured toward Song Changsheng, who stood right next to him.
âWho?â Huangfu Shangwu was confused.
Huangfu Zhantian immediately understood that Song Changsheng had used some kind of discreet means to conceal his presence. In fact, the reason he could see Song Changsheng at all was because the latter allowed him to do so.
In other words, Song Changsheng was probably not lying when he said that Jie Tianran was unable to see him.
âBrother, will you stop me if I leave?â Huangfu Zhantian asked.
âFeel free,â Song Changsheng replied.
âFarewell, brother.â Huangfu Zhantian bowed to Song Changsheng before leaving with Huangfu Shangwu.
â¦
Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavensâ Zenith, Chu Feng couldnât see the interactions between Huangfu Zhantian and Song Changsheng, but he did witness Jie Tianranâs incredible feat.
âHe has already made a breakthrough to Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist.â
If Jie Tianran was able to easily obliterate even the Heavenly God level Huangfu Bufan, it was unlikely that Chu Feng and his berserk bloodline would stand much of a chance against him. Thus, he turned to Master Nine Zenith and said, âYou have my deepest gratitude.â
It was starting to sink in just how dangerous of a position he had been in earlier when his bloodline went berserk.
âI cherish talent. I wouldnât wish for your death even if I wasnât acquainted with your mother. Benefactor Chu Feng, please allow me to offer you some words of advice. I know that youâre a remarkable prodigy, but you mustnât underestimate Jie Tianran.
âThose in the present era know that your mother, Jie Ranqing, has dominated her era, but they are oblivious to the fact that Jie Tianran has done the same back in his era as well. He was an astounding prodigy who reached pinnacle True Dragon and took over the position of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansionâs Mansion Master thirty thousand years ago. He was honored as the strongest ever Mansion Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion before your mother came around.â
Master Nine Zenith spoke those words with a grim expression that left no doubt that he feared Jie Tianran.
âThank you for your advice. Iâll take care,â Chu Feng replied.
He wouldnât make light of Jie Tianran, though he wouldnât fear the latter either. His stance remained the same. If his mother was truly safe, he could let go of some old grudges out of consideration of his motherâs stance.
But if something happened to his mother, he would bury the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
âElder, may I meet Wang Qiang first?â Chu Feng asked Master Nine Zenith.
âOf course,â Master Nine Zenith replied. He quickly summoned a surge of teleportation energy that transported Chu Feng to Wang Qiangâs residence.
â¦
Meanwhile, Huangfu Zhantian was galloping across space on a black-colored war steed enveloped in lightning.
This war steed was two times larger than ordinary horses, and it functioned in a way that resembled war chariots and warships despite being alive. It could raise its speed according to the riderâs cultivation level.
Even though Huangfu Zhantian was still in the Bloodline Galaxy, he was already a far distance away from the Pulse Ignition Ordinary Realm.
âMilord, who were you talking to earlier?â Huangfu Shangwu, who sat behind Huangfu Zhantian, asked.
âDonât stick your head into things that are none of your business.â Huangfu Zhantian cut him off.
âMy apologies,â Huangfu Shangwu said.
âWere you the only one who returned alive?â Huangfu Zhantian asked.
âIâm not sure. We were separated in the Nine Heavensâ Zenithâs trial. I was unable to reach the deepest area in the trial, so Iâm not sure what transpired there. However, I didnât see our young master and the others when I came out,â Huangfu Shangwu replied.
âIs Huangfu Shengyu dead too?â Huangfu Zhantian asked.
âDead? Is our young master dead?!â
Huangfu Shangwu was horrified, knowing that Huangfu Shengyuâs death was a huge matter. Huangfu Shengyu was not just the son of the Huangfu Heavenly Clanâs Clan Chief, but he was the clanâs hope too.
âHuangfu Bufan has your life tokens. He claimed that something happened to you, which was why he sealed off the Pulse Ignition Ordinary Realm. If you were the only one who came out, it should be safe to assume that the others are dead,â Huangfu Zhantian said.
âChu Feng! It must be Chu Fengâs doing!â Huangfu Shangwu exclaimed.
âChu Feng? Is it that brat who conquered the Genesis Bloodline?â Huangfu Zhantian asked.
âGenesis Bloodline?â Huangfu Shangwu was confused, as he hadnât witnessed the scene of Chu Feng taming the Genesis Bloodline. Naturally, he didnât know what happened either.
âWhy donât you know anything at all?â Huangfu Zhantian lost his patience.
âIâ¦â Huangfu Shangwuâs face turned pale. He hadnât heard of the Genesis Bloodline, so he didnât know how to answer that question. It was evident he feared Huangfu Zhantian.
âWhat makes you say Chu Feng is the culprit behind Huangfu Shengyuâs death?â Huangfu Zhantian asked.
âThat Chu Feng made things difficult for our young master at every turn.â
Huangfu Shangwu proceeded to share how Chu Feng had defeated Huangfu Shengyu twice, once with his world spirit and the other with his bloodline.
âChu Fengâs bloodline is even stronger than Huangfu Shengyuâs? Itâs no wonder his berserk bloodline was terrifying. Could he be at Ordinary Saint-tier?â Huangfu Zhantian wondered.
âOrdinary Saint-tier? Milord, does that mean that Chu Fengâs bloodline is even stronger than our young masterâs?â Huangfu Shangwu hurriedly asked.
He had been brought up to think that Huangfu Shengyuâs bloodline was invincible. Even when Chu Feng utterly crushed Huangfu Shengyu on the bloodline dueling ring, there was still a part of him that refused to believe Chu Fengâs bloodline was stronger than Huangfu Shengyuâs.
âThereâs always a taller mountain out thereâthose words never go out of style. Huangfu Shengyu is formidable, but he isnât invincible. You should know that the strongest Heavenly Lightning Bloodline in the Ancient Era even reached Saint King-tier,â Huangfu Zhantian said.
