“If he disperses his Nascent Soul, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled halfway,” Ye Tongyao murmured, a trace of regret in her tone.
If that happened, Chu Feng’s influence and authority would plummet. He likely would not have the energy to target the Ye Family or Su Fan anymore.
But if he died outright, that would be even better.
At this moment, many people within the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect wore cold smiles.
Chu Feng was finished.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng looked up. The tribulation was about to fully take shape. He slowly rose to his feet. There was not a trace of fear in his eyes. What he saw was not an invincible heavenly tribulation, but merely a stubborn rock blocking his path forward.
“Look, what is Chu Feng doing?” someone suddenly exclaimed.
“Extreme Star Sword, break!” Chu Feng pointed one hand toward the heavens.
“Buzz!”
In an instant, the miniature violet Chu Feng above his head opened its eyes. Starlight flooded the sky. The Star Sword it held shot forth. Though the sword’s body was no larger than a thumb, it erupted with heaven-shattering power. Countless stars surrounded it, their immense energy swirling around the blade.
“Rumble…”
Violet light surged skyward. The Star Sword, carrying countless stars, plunged directly into the tribulation clouds, churning them violently. Thick serpentine bolts of lightning were annihilated into nothingness.
“My heavens!”
“Facing the will of heaven itself, Chu Feng actually charged straight into the tribulation. Isn’t he afraid of provoking heavenly wrath?”
“What terrifying power! He just broke through to the Nascent Soul Transformation realm and has already surpassed its limits. What kind of monster is this?!”
…
At this moment, every ancient monster within the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect who was watching stood stunned.
Even the supreme middle-aged figure deep within the sect rose abruptly in shock. He had not expected Chu Feng to make this choice.
To strike first. To defy heaven.
From afar, the Star Sword blazed brilliantly. Vast energy surged as countless stars circled it. Large swathes of tribulation clouds were ground away and erased.
In a short time, more than half of the immense tribulation clouds in the sky had vanished. The lightning serpents filled with destructive force appeared utterly fragile before the Star Sword.
The Heavenly Jealousy Tribulation posed no threat to Chu Feng at all.
“How is this possible…”
Ye Tongyao nearly groaned aloud, her face completely drained of blood as shock overwhelmed her.
Looking at that figure in white robes ascending against the heavens, her heartbeat quickened abruptly.
If Su Fan only possessed the will to defy heaven…
What kind of unyielding will was this?
“Holy Son Chu Feng is too heaven-defying.”
“We Heavenly Summit Peak disciples are proud of you.”
“Invincible among his generation, suppressing the present era!” Some Heavenly Summit Peak disciples shouted uncontrollably in excitement.
This was their chief disciple. In the future, what face would disciples of other peaks have to boast about their own prodigies?
What so-called geniuses and monsters could compare?
Before Chu Feng, who was striking the tribulation head-on, all others dimmed into insignificance.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
At that moment, Chu Feng seemed dissatisfied with the speed at which the Star Sword was destroying the tribulation. He flew directly into the tribulation clouds, condensing qi into a sword. Star-infused sword energy stretched 30 meters across the sky.
It was as though a man had lifted and swung an entire mountain.
One sword strike fell, and heaven and earth were extinguished.
“What kind of monster is this…”
At this moment, countless prodigies within the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect felt despair flood their hearts, cursing inwardly why they had been born in the same era as such a being.
He was a legend beyond reach.
A monster that should have existed only in ancient texts.
Why had someone like this become reality?
“Hahahahaha!” Liu Wudao’s wild laughter echoed from the summit of Heavenly Summit Peak.
“It was I, his master, who had too narrow a vision. I apologize.”
Yet his laughter was filled with unmistakable pride.
There was not the slightest trace of actual apology in it. Instead, it sounded like he was boasting to the entire Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.
This was the disciple he, Liu Wudao, had personally nurtured.
But at this moment, the ancient monsters were too stunned to pay attention to his display.
“I suddenly have a premonition. If Chu Feng encounters no accidents midway, our Azure Cloud Immortal Sect may reach an unprecedented peak.”
“I fully support immediately bestowing upon Chu Feng the title of Holy Son. All of the sect’s precious resources should be prioritized for him.”
“Chu Feng is a monster seen only once in billions of years. I will personally seek an audience with the Sect Master to express my stance.” An ancient monster who had been in seclusion for countless years flew directly toward the deepest part of the sect.
At this moment, countless ancient monsters within the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect were stirred to excitement.
Of course, some harbored jealousy, sneered coldly, and even concealed killing intent.
Chu Feng slashed out once more, breaking all techniques with sheer force. The vast tribulation clouds filling the sky were cleaved apart in an instant.
In midair, only that flawless figure remained, holding the Star Sword and radiating boundless brilliance.
“Because of me, I have disturbed the cultivation of my junior brothers and sisters. My apologies,” Chu Feng said with a smile toward those on Heavenly Summit Peak gazing up at him.
This was a lesson from his previous life. Maintaining a good public image brought only benefits, never harm.
He then flew toward Heavenly Summit Peak.
“Unmatched talent, terrifying strength, supreme status, and yet so approachable…” Tens of thousands of girls on Heavenly Summit Peak felt their hearts melt.
“Chu Feng, you’ve been lying to me all along. Why?” Ye Tongyao murmured, her face pale as she staggered away from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.
“Why did you lie to me?”
“This is the real you!”
“Why…”
…
At the highest point of Heavenly Summit Peak, within the blessed land.
“Chu Feng greets Master. I have caused Master worry,” Chu Feng said respectfully, bowing to Liu Wudao.
“You broke through your emotional barrier so quickly and reached the Nascent Soul Transformation realm at such an age. Unprecedented in history. I am proud of you,” Liu Wudao said calmly, nodding.
“Feng’er, though you possess a body full of Immortal Bones and extraordinary talent, breaking through too quickly can lead to an unstable foundation. You must pay attention to this and solidify your base, so that you may go further in the future.”
“I have seen too many prodigies who forced rapid breakthroughs to showcase their brilliance, only to fade into mediocrity later because their foundations were weak.”
“Remember my words. Cultivation is like constructing a towering building. Only by laying a solid foundation and strengthening each level can you continue advancing without end.”
“Disciple will engrave Master’s words in his heart and never forget them,” Chu Feng replied respectfully.
From the moment Chu Feng was born, Liu Wudao had taken him as his direct disciple and brought him to Heavenly Summit Peak. Their relationship was both master and father.
Thus, Liu Wudao had always played the role of a strict father.
To prevent Chu Feng from becoming arrogant, he rarely praised him directly, no matter how quickly he cultivated.
“Good.” Liu Wudao nodded and continued, “I rarely interfere in your personal matters, but since you have broken through your emotional barrier, resolve the matters concerning Ye Tongyao and Su Fan quickly. Do not let such insignificant figures hinder you.
You are my only direct disciple. Now that you have entered the Nascent Soul Transformation realm, you have truly stepped onto the threshold of the cultivation path. The sect has many affairs. You should begin helping me manage some matters of Heavenly Summit Peak.
Certain peak affairs, the Heavenly Summit Guard, and some of Heavenly Summit Peak’s subordinate industries will be placed under your management. In this regard, Liu Mei will assist you.”
Liu Wudao turned to glance at the woman in green beside him. “Mei’er, you must assist your Senior Brother well and manage those industries properly.”
“Mei’er obeys Master’s command,” Liu Mei replied respectfully.
Beneath her lowered gaze, her beautiful eyes shone with joy. She understood that this was Master deliberately creating an opportunity for her to remain close to Chu Feng.
