Challenging that terrifying power…
The further it went, the more dangerous it became.
Especially at the final stage, even Xianhai Shaoyu nearly couldn’t hold on.
At that moment, it was truly a matter of life and death. He genuinely thought he might die.
Because that was the critical moment, requiring a final push. Even if he felt he couldn’t bear it, there was no stopping.
But just as he thought he couldn’t endure and was about to perish under the onslaught of that terrifying power, Xianhai Shaoyu underwent a transformation.
Not only could he continue to withstand the terrifying power without danger to his life, but the pain also lessened.
In the end, he overcame it all.
Chu Feng, still alive, had clearly endured it too.
But Chu Feng had now fallen into a coma.
This led Xianhai Shaoyu to believe that, despite Chu Feng’s exceptional talent and recognition by this place’s power, he was still superior in terms of talent.
This was why Xianhai Shaoyu felt a trace of secret joy.
It wasn’t his fault. He didn’t envy Chu Feng or bear him any hostility. On the contrary, he admired him.
But who wouldn’t want to be the strongest?
Especially someone like Xianhai Shaoyu.
Though he lacked the arrogance of other geniuses, that didn’t mean he wasn’t proud.
If he weren’t, he wouldn’t have risked his life to open that black box.
It was all to prove his talent was unmatched.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a glow enveloped Xianhai Shaoyu, making him shine like a star in the dark starry sky.
Within that glow was a strange power.
This was the benefit Xianhai Shaoyu had gained from the terrifying power.
It was a force that could enhance his bloodline strength.
This power was merging with him, but because he had absorbed so much, it would take time to fully integrate.
Due to some special reasons, this power had become visible from its originally intangible form.
“Father, you strongly opposed my coming here,” Xianhai Shaoyu thought, elated. “If you knew the treasure here could enhance my bloodline, would you regret trying to stop me?”
He wasn’t sure how much this power would strengthen his bloodline.
But building on his already exceptional talent, any enhancement was a pleasant surprise.
He believed his father would be thrilled for him when he heard the news.
“What’s that?” Xianhai Shaoyu’s expression suddenly changed.
He was shocked to see a glow enveloping Chu Feng as well.
But the glow around Chu Feng was even more dazzling than his own.
If that were all, it wouldn’t have stunned him so much.
What shocked him was the power within Chu Feng’s glow, which he could sense.
That power was stronger than his own.
This change made Xianhai Shaoyu realise what had happened.
But it was completely unexpected, delivering a tremendous shock!
“Confused?” a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw a figure in a dark grey robe standing not far away.
“The Demon Transformation Clan?” Xianhai Shaoyu’s eyes shifted slightly. “Why are you here?”
He knew the identity of this figure in the grey robe.
The Demon Transformation Clan, a notorious evil force in the vast martial world.
Their strength was formidable, so much so that even the leaders of various galaxies dared not underestimate them.
The Demon Transformation Clan had once been a dominant force in a galaxy.
But after being overthrown by a coalition of other forces in that galaxy, their leader fell into depravity.
He even renamed the clan the Demon Transformation Clan.
Initially, its members were all of the same bloodline.
But later, many fallen experts from other forces joined them.
The clan grew stronger, surpassing even its former glory as a galactic ruler.
But they shouldn’t be in a place like this.
That was why Xianhai Shaoyu was so surprised.
“You don’t need to know why I’m here, Young Master Shaoyu,” the man from the Demon Transformation Clan said. “But I can tell you, I saw everything earlier.”
“You couldn’t withstand the final stage of that power.”
“That kid saw you couldn’t hold on, so he increased his own absorption.”
“He saved you.”
“So it’s only natural he gained more power.”
“I don’t need you to tell me that. I already guessed as much,” Xianhai Shaoyu said.
He wasn’t lying. Though shocked, when he saw Chu Feng’s power surpassed his own, he understood what had happened.
He realised that at the critical moment, he hadn’t transformed. It was Chu Feng who had taken on more of the power to help him.
“This kid, his name is Chu Feng?” the man from the Demon Transformation Clan asked. “Is he a local from here?”
“Whether he is or isn’t, what does it matter to you?” Xianhai Shaoyu replied, growing impatient.
“The genius renowned throughout the martial world, Young Master Xianhai Shaoyu, defeated in talent by an unknown nobody in this insignificant place,” the man said. “That must sting, right?”
“But you don’t need to feel upset, Young Master Shaoyu.”
“I can help you deal with this kid.”
“Hand him over to me.”
As the man spoke, he raised his arm.
Whoosh—
A powerful suction force erupted from his sleeve.
But it wasn’t aimed at Xianhai Shaoyu—it was directed at Chu Feng beside him.
“Looking for death,” Xianhai Shaoyu sneered.
Immediately, a tremendous power burst from his body.
The pressure formed a tangible aura, erupting like a volcano in the starry sky.
When that pressure was released, it not only blocked the suction force aimed at Chu Feng but unleashed its own suction force.
This force was far stronger than the one from the Demon Transformation Clan member.
Unable to resist, the man was pulled right in front of Xianhai Shaoyu.
Xianhai Shaoyu hadn’t moved, but the martial power from his body formed a hand that seized the man by the throat.
“Tell me, why are you here?” Xianhai Shaoyu demanded coldly.
