However, facing Ma Shengjie, who was charging toward him to seize the Arrow Dao Immortal Bow, Chu Feng was fully prepared. He stood calmly, a composed smile on his lips.
With his feet firmly planted, he gripped the bow with his left hand and pulled back fiercely with his right.
**Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—**
In the next moment, countless golden arrows shot out from the Arrow Dao Immortal Bow like a torrential downpour.
The arrows flew straight toward Ma Shengjie.
The sheer number of arrows formed a wall-like barrage, making it nearly impossible for Ma Shengjie to evade.
Yet, faced with this onslaught, Ma Shengjie showed no fear. With a flick of his wrist, the immortal dagger in his hand began to glow.
Golden light radiated from the dagger, and a powerful surge of energy formed a shimmering golden shield in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the arrows reached him, relentlessly striking the energy shield.
**Clang, clang, clang—**
Sparks flew in all directions, and ripples of energy spread out like waves.
The first clash between the two immortal weapons had ignited an intense battle.
But when two tigers fight, one must emerge victorious—how much more so in a battle between immortal weapons?
The energy shield formed by the immortal dagger was indeed indestructible.
However, the golden arrows shot from the Arrow Dao Immortal Bow were equally unstoppable.
Under such circumstances, Ma Shengjie was forced backward, not only failing to hold his ground but also being pushed back tens of thousands of meters.
It wasn’t until Chu Feng stopped firing that Ma Shengjie finally stabilized himself.
“Trying to take it by force? That won’t work,” Chu Feng said with a smile, his tone laced with mockery.
“Hmph, Chu Feng, do you really think you can match me?” Ma Shengjie’s face was filled with obvious anger.
“Why wouldn’t I be able to match you?” Chu Feng asked, still smiling, as if genuinely puzzled.
**Crackle—**
Suddenly, thunder surged on Ma Shengjie’s forehead, and soon, a heavenly thunder pattern formed there.
At the same time, Ma Shengjie’s cultivation level rose from fourth-grade Martial Immortal to fifth-grade Martial Immortal.
“Chu Feng, did you think that as a Heavenly Bloodline possessor, only your Divine Punishment Mystic Art could unlock the power of the Thunder Pattern?” Ma Shengjie asked, his voice still thick with anger.
He was furious because he felt underestimated.
It was well known that Heavenly Bloodline possessors were incredibly powerful, far surpassing even those with Divine Gifts.
This was because Heavenly Bloodline possessors could unlock the power of the Thunder Armor, Thunder Wings, and Thunder Pattern as their cultivation improved.
Each of these abilities could increase their cultivation level by one grade. Together, they could boost their cultivation by a full three grades.
In the world of cultivators, advancing even a single grade was incredibly difficult.
To instantly increase one’s cultivation by three grades through bloodline power was nothing short of terrifying.
However, once a Heavenly Bloodline possessor reached the True Immortal realm, their bloodline power would be sealed.
At that point, without the Thunder Armor, Thunder Wings, or Thunder Pattern, Heavenly Bloodline possessors would be on equal footing with other cultivators.
It was said that only those with exceptional talent could unlock these three bloodline powers again.
When Chu Feng entered the True Immortal realm, his bloodline power was also sealed.
But shortly after, he managed to unlock the power of the Thunder Pattern.
In reality, Chu Feng wasn’t the only one who could do this. Many geniuses across the Ancestral Martial Star Domain had achieved the same.
Naturally, Ma Shengjie was one of them.
This was common knowledge in the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, yet Chu Feng seemed unaware.
Ma Shengjie hadn’t used his Thunder Pattern power, yet Chu Feng dared to act so arrogantly.
This made Ma Shengjie think that Chu Feng believed only he had unlocked the Thunder Pattern, while Ma Shengjie had not, which was why Chu Feng looked down on him.
Such disdain—how could Ma Shengjie not be angry?
“Ma Shengjie, why are you saying such things? Do you have some misunderstanding about me?” Chu Feng asked, his expression one of genuine confusion.
“What are you trying to say?” Ma Shengjie’s anger didn’t subside, but a hint of confusion also appeared in his eyes.
He had activated his Thunder Pattern to make it clear to Chu Feng that he, too, had unlocked its power.
But after activating it and boosting his cultivation, Chu Feng showed no surprise, as if he had already known about Ma Shengjie’s Thunder Pattern.
This left Ma Shengjie puzzled.
If Chu Feng had known all along that Ma Shengjie had the Thunder Pattern, why had he been so confident?
“Ma Shengjie, since I’ve heard of your reputation, how could I not know that you’ve already unlocked the power of the Thunder Pattern?” Chu Feng asked.
Hearing this, Ma Shengjie was certain that Chu Feng had indeed known about his Thunder Pattern all along.
“If you knew I had unlocked the Thunder Pattern, why did you dare to challenge me, a fourth-grade Martial Immortal, with your second-grade cultivation?” Ma Shengjie demanded.
“Why?” Chu Feng smiled faintly and said, “Probably because of this.”
**Crackle—**
As soon as he spoke, bolts of lightning surged from Chu Feng’s body.
The lightning was of nine colors, like nine ferocious beasts bursting forth from within him.
The strange lightning didn’t damage his clothes but instead clung to them.
The nine-colored lightning intertwined, forming a set of Thunder Armor that covered Chu Feng’s body.
The armor was lifelike and exuded an overwhelming aura, as if a king had descended, unstoppable.
“What is that?”
Seeing the nine-colored Thunder Armor on Chu Feng, not only Ma Shengjie but all the Wuma Celestial Clan members present were stunned. Their widened eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because the armor on Chu Feng’s body was none other than the sealed power of a Heavenly Bloodline possessor—the Thunder Armor!!!
