“This feeling, could it be an Asura World Spirit?”
Upon seeing the black flames surging out from the barrier gate, Chu Feng recognised it at once. That was indeed the aura of an Asura World Spirit.
So it turned out that Gongsun Yuntian was also an Asura World Spiritist.
Asura World Spiritists had always been extremely rare existences.
But in truth, when looking at the vast Asura Starfield as a whole, the number of Asura World Spiritists was not actually that scarce, and they had long ceased to be mere legends.
However, because the Asura World Spiritists Chu Feng had encountered so far were still quite limited in number, he would often feel a surge of excitement whenever he came across one.
This time, though, was different. The fact that those flames could force Yu Sha to retreat meant this World Spirit possessed tremendous strength.
And that was far from good news for either Yu Sha or Chu Feng.
“Jie jie jie…”
“Gongsun Yuntian, you little brat really aren’t playing fair.”
“To think you actually made this old man fight a woman.”
A rough, coarse voice echoed from within the barrier gate.
Slap.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful large hand emerged from the barrier gate and gripped the edge of the gate with force.
Although the hand looked human in shape, it was far larger than any ordinary human hand, indicating that its owner must also possess an extraordinary physique.
Sure enough, after that large hand appeared first, the World Spirit’s true body soon stepped out from within the gate.
Black flames coiled around its entire form, making it impossible to see its face clearly, yet its rough outline and height were still discernible.
It was massive, truly a colossal being.
Though it had a humanoid shape, its height reached well over ten metres.
While such a height was nowhere near that of demon beasts, compared to normal human cultivators, it could still be considered a small giant.
Rumble rumble rumble.
The moment this World Spirit appeared, the enormous battle platform actually began to tremble slightly.
Because the platform was so vast, when it shook, the entire huge plaza trembled along with it. Even the VIP stands could not escape the vibration.
Moreover, as the tremors spread, the array patterns on the battle platform started to change, flickering with faint light.
With each flash of light, it was as though the array on the platform had been activated. A layer of faint black flames began to spread across the surface of the battle platform.
“What’s happening?”
Seeing this, many people felt puzzled.
“It’s triggered a phenomenon.”
“It seems Young Friend Yuntian’s World Spirit is no ordinary one. It must have quite a background.”
While the crowd remained confused, the Black Fiend Old Devil spoke up to explain.
As he spoke, he even glanced at Gongsun Yuntian. For once, a rare look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
With this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
So it was a phenomenon triggered by Gongsun Yuntian’s World Spirit.
Yet it should be remembered that Chu Feng’s powerful and beautiful World Spirit was also from the Asura Spirit World.
When she appeared, she had not triggered any phenomenon, but Gongsun Yuntian’s World Spirit had.
This alone was enough to prove that the strength of Gongsun Yuntian’s World Spirit was probably even greater than Yu Sha’s.
“Gongsun Yuntian, well done. Truly worthy of being the genius younger generation of our Nine Souls Heavenly River.”
“Young Friend Yuntian, you really did not disappoint this old man.”
Suddenly, waves of praise for Gongsun Yuntian thundered across the viewing stands in all directions like rolling thunder.
Their emotions had been suppressed for far too long, but at this moment they finally found release.
And for no other reason than that, up until now in this duel, the representative of the Nine Souls Heavenly River had been completely suppressed by Chu Feng.
Now, Gongsun Yuntian had finally turned the tables and suppressed Chu Feng.
At last, he had reclaimed some face for the Nine Souls Heavenly River.
Boom.
The World Spirit lifted its foot and then slammed it down hard.
A violent tremor rang out, and the flames surrounding the World Spirit instantly scattered in all directions.
At this moment, the World Spirit that had triggered the phenomenon on the battle platform finally revealed its true appearance.
It wore nothing on its upper body, and on its lower body it wore only a simple pair of trousers.
Its physique was extremely burly. Especially since it was shirtless, every muscle was clearly visible. Those massive blocks of muscle looked as hard as stone and radiated an overwhelming sense of power.
However, its body hair was also extremely thick. Not only was it covered all over, but even its face was full of hair, and its head of black hair exploded outwards like the mane of a male lion.
Although the thick hair obscured its features, from the general outline people could still tell that this World Spirit had an extremely ugly appearance.
Compared to Yu Sha, it was the perfect contrast between beauty and beast.
Moreover, this World Spirit not only looked hideous, but it also possessed a pair of blood-red eyes.
Those eyes looked utterly terrifying.
More frightening than those of any ferocious beast.
This made its overall presence even more intimidating.
“Blood Clan?”
Yu Sha stared at the World Spirit’s blood-red eyes. As if realising something, she spoke the words aloud.
“Blood Clan? Could it be the Asura Blood Clan? So this is an Asura Blood Clan World Spirit?”
“Gongsun Yuntian actually managed to subdue an Asura Blood Clan World Spirit?”
Upon hearing the words “Asura Blood Clan”, many people’s gazes towards the World Spirit immediately changed.
“It really is an Asura Blood Clan. Young Friend Yuntian, you are truly impressive.”
After further observation, some of the older generation World Spiritists confirmed the identity of the World Spirit and once again showered Gongsun Yuntian with praise.
Even their entire demeanour had changed.
It was the kind of reaction that only appeared when someone was overwhelmed with excitement and exhilaration.
“Xia Yan, do you know the origin of the Asura Blood Clan?”
Chu Feng was not very familiar with the Asura Blood Clan, so he did not want to disturb Yu Sha and instead quietly asked Xia Yan.
“You don’t even know about the Asura Blood Clan? And you still call yourself an Asura World Spiritist?”
Xia Yan first responded with a disdainful look at Chu Feng, but she still went on to explain the so-called origin of the Asura Blood Clan.
The Asura Blood Clan were also World Spirits from the Asura Spirit World.
However, they were a race with a special bloodline, and those blood-red eyes were their defining mark.
If one were to compare, Heavenly Divine Bodies and Heavenly-rank bloodlines were like nobility above ordinary martial cultivators,
then the Asura Blood Clan were nobility above ordinary Asura World Spirits.
That was the definition of the Asura Blood Clan: possessed of unimaginable power, yet also extremely arrogant.
Because of this, Asura Blood Clan members very rarely agreed to submit to any World Spiritist.
In the Nine Souls Heavenly River, there were quite a few legends about the Asura Blood Clan, but in the present day, very few World Spiritists in the entire Nine Souls Heavenly River had ever managed to subdue one.
This was exactly why, upon learning that the World Spirit Gongsun Yuntian had released was an Asura Blood Clan member, even those great figures were so thrilled.
“Jie jie jie…”
“Little girl, this old man has beaten plenty of women back in the Asura Spirit World.”
“But a girl as beautiful as you, this old man really hasn’t beaten before.”
“Your looks are exactly the type this old man likes. To be honest, this old man is quite reluctant to hit you.”
The World Spirit spoke to Yu Sha. Not only did it carry an air of absolute confidence, but it also leered at Yu Sha with a lustful gaze.
Its posture looked as though it intended to claim the beauty for itself.
“Yu Sha, are you confident in fighting it?”
“If you have no confidence, come back immediately. Do not force yourself.”
Chu Feng also sent a discreet voice transmission to advise Yu Sha.
But Yu Sha did not reply to Chu Feng at all. Instead, she responded directly to the World Spirit.
“Enough with the nonsense. Since you’ve come out, we must fight.”
Whoosh.
With those words, Yu Sha transformed into a streak of black shadow and charged straight at the Asura Blood Clan World Spirit.
Yet the Asura World Spirit did not even try to dodge. It simply stood in place, waiting for Yu Sha to attack.
Yu Sha was not polite either. One of her black-flame long swords thrust straight forward, aiming directly at the Asura Blood Clan World Spirit’s chest.
The other sword swept horizontally, aiming to chop down on the Asura Blood Clan World Spirit’s head.
Whoosh whoosh.
But at the critical moment, the Blood Clan World Spirit actually reached out with its hand, attempting to grab Yu Sha’s black-flame long swords.
And then, a shocking scene unfolded.
The Blood Clan World Spirit truly managed to catch Yu Sha’s black-flame long swords with its bare palms.
And it did so without suffering the slightest injury.
