The lightning was purple, not only dazzling but also exuding a might that enveloped the void.
Most crucially, as the purple lightning appeared, Kong Tianhui’s cultivation surged from First-rank Venerable to Second-rank Venerable.
“Purple Thunder Divine Body!”
“Kong Tianhui has cultivated to such a level.”
At this moment, Tantai Yinjian, the Chu Heavenly Clan’s chief, and others showed a shift in their expressions.
They knew the purple lightning was Kong Tianhui’s Heavenly Divine Power.
The strength of a Heavenly Divine Body depended on the wielder’s ability.
Those with sufficient power could use their Heavenly Divine Power to boost their cultivation by one rank.
The people of Divine Body Royal City were renowned for their mastery and unique cultivation methods in wielding Heavenly Divine Power.
For a genius like Kong Tianhui to use his Heavenly Divine Power to increase his cultivation by one rank was within everyone’s expectations.
But what they hadn’t anticipated was that, after boosting his cultivation, his combat power had also been enhanced.
*Boom—*
A punch roared out, shattering the void.
In a flash, Kong Tianhui closed in on Chu Feng and threw a direct punch.
However, after the punch, Kong Tianhui cast an irritated glance behind him. “You punk.”
Because not only had Chu Feng dodged his attack, he was now standing behind Kong Tianhui.
On Chu Feng’s forehead, a “Divine” character thunder mark glowed.
With the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique active, Chu Feng’s cultivation had also risen from First-rank Venerable to Second-rank Venerable.
This boost allowed Chu Feng to effortlessly evade Kong Tianhui’s attack.
But Kong Tianhui had long heard that Chu Feng mastered the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique and could increase his cultivation by one rank.
So this alone wouldn’t have irritated him so much.
What truly angered Kong Tianhui was that Chu Feng was standing at the edge of the compass.
If he stepped off, he’d be free from the compass’s restrictions, able to summon his spirit. Then, Kong Tianhui would have no chance against him.
Yet Chu Feng, who could have left the compass, deliberately chose not to.
This was a blatant provocation to Kong Tianhui.
“You could leave the compass but don’t. Chu Feng, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on me?” Kong Tianhui demanded angrily.
“It’s not about looking down on you. I want you to lose convincingly.”
“The world only knows I have some skill in spirit techniques.”
“But in truth, my main focus is martial cultivation.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve fought freely with martial power.”
“Today, I want to give it a go.”
As Chu Feng spoke, he took a few deliberate steps forward, returning to the center of the compass.
“Damn it, you dare underestimate me like this?”
“Today, I, Kong Tianhui, will show you my true strength!”
*Swish—*
As Kong Tianhui spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a cyan longsword appeared in his hand.
The moment the sword appeared, the surrounding void rippled, and even the energy of heaven and earth shifted under its influence.
Seeing the sword, everyone’s eyes lit up.
It was a Half-Complete Venerable Weapon.
A Half-Complete Venerable Weapon was an incredibly precious treasure, yet a junior like Kong Tianhui wielded one.
People were both envious and jealous, but they also had to admire Divine Body Royal City’s wealth. Only a faction of such power could equip a junior with such a rare weapon.
With the Half-Complete Venerable Weapon in hand, Kong Tianhui’s combat power surged dramatically.
He wasted no words, pointing his sword at Chu Feng and thrusting forward.
*Swish swish swish—*
In an instant, sword light flashed like a storm, covering the heavens. Even beyond the compass, the sky was filled with sword shadows.
Kong Tianhui’s attacks were fierce, his swordsmanship exceptional. It was clear he had mastered the Half-Complete Venerable Weapon.
But the stronger Kong Tianhui’s performance, the more astonished the crowd became. Even someone like Tantai Yinjian grew increasingly surprised.
With the Half-Complete Venerable Weapon, Kong Tianhui’s attacks flowed like water, his combat power greatly enhanced.
Yet, despite this, he couldn’t land a single blow on Chu Feng.
This made people marvel at Chu Feng’s battle experience and combat power, which far surpassed ordinary cultivators.
“Empty-handed, he can hold his own against Kong Tianhui wielding a Half-Complete Venerable Weapon. Such combat power is astounding. Could this be the power of the Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique?”
At this moment, even the older generation looked at Chu Feng with not just admiration but deep respect.
The Divine Punishment Mysterious Technique was incredibly rare and difficult to master, a fact known to all.
That Chu Feng could wield it and achieve such formidable combat power was a testament to his own ability.
It was a display of his talent.
After a flurry of failed attacks, Kong Tianhui flew back, landing at the center of the compass.
“Not bad, you’ve got some skill. In that case, I, Kong Tianhui, won’t hold back. This time, I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy!”
*Boom—*
Suddenly, purple radiance erupted from Kong Tianhui’s body.
The purple light quickly condensed, forming a glowing armor that enveloped him.
Combined with the purple lightning, it looked like a suit of purple thunder armor, dazzlingly brilliant.
But most crucially, Kong Tianhui’s combat power surged again.
His cultivation rose from Second-rank Venerable to Third-rank Venerable.
No need to guess—everyone knew this new boost wasn’t from his Heavenly Divine Power. Even the strongest Heavenly Divine Power couldn’t increase cultivation by two ranks consecutively.
Thus, the glowing armor on Kong Tianhui was a treasure.
He had used the power of a treasure to boost his cultivation again.
“Now, how will Chu Feng respond?”
“Could he also have a treasure that boosts cultivation?”
People looked at Chu Feng, noticing his calm confidence, and began to speculate.
