“Brother Chu Feng, show your hand as well.”
After raising his cultivation, Yu Lie did not attack immediately. Instead, he made an inviting gesture towards Chu Feng.
He knew Chu Feng must also possess a method to increase his cultivation and wanted to wait until Chu Feng had done so before the real fight began.
“Very well.”
Chu Feng gave a slight nod.
Zzzap.
The next instant, lightning surged. A lightning marking also appeared on Chu Feng’s forehead.
“He has cultivated the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Art too?”
Although some present already knew Chu Feng had trained in it, the majority did not.
Leaving aside how precious the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Art was, cultivating it was inherently difficult. Forcing it without sufficient talent was tantamount to digging one’s own grave.
It could be said that the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Art served as a test of talent for those with heavenly bloodlines.
Anyone capable of mastering it was undoubtedly a top-tier genius possessing the highest level of gift.
“Ugh.”
Suddenly, Yu Lie let out a faint grunt. His expression showed a trace of pain.
This sight startled everyone. He and Chu Feng had not yet exchanged blows. Why did he already look pained?
Though the pained expression lasted only a fleeting moment, people still noticed it.
What on earth was going on?
“Quick, look at the lightning marking on Yu Lie’s forehead!”
Someone pointed at Yu Lie’s forehead and cried out in shock.
Hearing this, everyone looked over and discovered that the originally dazzling divine-character lightning marking had dimmed considerably.
In contrast, Chu Feng’s marking remained brilliantly bright.
The difference between the two was stark.
“Bloodline suppression!!!”
“It’s bloodline suppression!!!”
Across the heavens and earth, young and old alike cried out in astonishment.
“How can this be? His mastery of the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Art actually surpasses Brother Yu Lie’s?”
Yu Hong and Yu Yin refused to believe their eyes.
They already knew Chu Feng’s spirit techniques were formidable and that he was no ordinary person.
Yet they never imagined that in martial cultivation too he would be so extraordinary. Not only had he trained in the Heavenly Punishment Mysterious Art, his command of it was actually stronger than Yu Lie’s.
“No, wait. He is clearly only Sixth Rank Supreme right now.”
“That means his true cultivation is only Fifth Rank Supreme.”
“How can someone like that fight Yu Lie?”
Soon, more voices of confusion rang out.
Indeed, even though Chu Feng had revealed divine-rank lightning markings and stunned everyone,
his talent was now beyond doubt.
Yet his cultivation had only risen from Fifth Rank Supreme to Sixth Rank Supreme.
How could he possibly contend with Yu Lie?
Zzzap.
At that moment, lightning surged around Chu Feng once more.
The lightning transformed, forming armour.
Soon, armour condensed from lightning emerged and settled upon Chu Feng’s body.
The instant the Lightning Armour appeared, Chu Feng’s cultivation rose again, from Sixth Rank Supreme to Seventh Rank Supreme.
“Heavens! He… has actually developed his heavenly bloodline to this extent?”
“To simultaneously unleash both lightning markings and Lightning Armour while still in the Supreme realm?”
Upon witnessing this, every seated member of the Yu Heavenly Clan shot to their feet.
As members of a heavenly clan, no one understood better than they did how difficult it was to activate two bloodline powers at once in the Supreme realm.
It was not impossible, but it was something no one in their entire clan could achieve.
“This Chu Feng really is extraordinary.”
“Yet even so, he still cannot match Yu Lie. Does he have yet another method?”
Even the Lord of the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace could not help pondering.
He felt that since Chu Feng had accepted the challenge, he must have further tricks up his sleeve.
“Could he possess a treasure capable of raising his cultivation by another rank?”
After some thought, that was the conclusion the Lord reached.
“But treasures like that are far too rare. Would Chu Feng really have one?”
He was right. Even the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace possessed no treasure that could raise cultivation by a full rank in the Supreme realm. Could Chu Feng truly own such a thing?
Roar.
Just then, a series of furious roars exploded forth.
They sounded like the bellows of ferocious beasts, yet countless times more savage.
Most shocking of all, the roars came from within Chu Feng’s body.
Rumble.
While everyone was still bewildered, four enormous beasts materialised in the void above.
Each beast was colossal beyond measure.
They were none other than the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the Four Divine Beasts.
The moment the Four Divine Beasts appeared, not only did a sacred aura accompany them, but the power of Heaven-bestowed Divine Might also flooded the area.
“That sensation… it’s Heaven-bestowed Divine Might!”
“Could Chu Feng really…”
Everyone sensed that the divine might shared the exact same aura as Chu Feng. It had almost certainly been summoned by him.
Yet Chu Feng possessed a heavenly bloodline. How could he also command Heaven-bestowed Divine Might?
Roar.
The roars continued without cease. The four divine beasts circling in the void transformed into four streaks of flowing light and simultaneously entered Chu Feng’s body.
At that instant, ethereal images of the four divine beasts appeared around him, and his cultivation soared once more, from Seventh Rank Supreme straight to Eighth Rank Supreme.
“He really does command Heaven-bestowed Divine Might?”
“What kind of monster is this fellow?”
Not only the juniors, even the elders wore faces full of amazement.
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines; the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
Such emotion was a rarity in their lives.
Never before had they seen someone with a heavenly bloodline also possess Heaven-bestowed Divine Might.
Moreover, Chu Feng was the kind of person who had pushed his heavenly bloodline to the absolute limit, capable of unleashing both lightning markings and Lightning Armour simultaneously in the Supreme realm.
And now he had even unleashed Heaven-bestowed Divine Might.
Raising his cultivation by three full ranks consecutively while still in the Supreme realm. This was something no one in the entire Holy Light Galaxy had ever achieved.
Chu Feng was the first!!!
“Xiaoxiao, you little girl really do have good taste.”
At that moment, the Dragon Clan chief looked at Long Xiaoxiao with a broad smile and praised her.
At first, he had felt troubled that Long Xiaoxiao fancied Chu Feng.
He knew Chu Feng was an outstanding junior and that his spirit techniques were exceptionally refined.
But his daughter had fused with the Dragon Vein Source Energy. In future, she might lead the Dragon Clan to rule the entire Holy Light Galaxy.
How could Chu Feng possibly be worthy of her?
Only now did he realise just how remarkable Chu Feng truly was.
A Chu Feng like this was more than qualified to be his son-in-law.
In fact, in his eyes, throughout the entire Holy Light Galaxy, no one aside from Chu Feng was worthy of becoming his son-in-law.
