"If you've already made up your mind, then let's do it."
"Oh right, how are you feeling now? Have you received any new power from that Divine Thunder?"
"Take a look at me — do you see any changes?"
"No changes at all. Besides going from the Ninth Stage Martial King to the First Stage Half Emperor, there's nothing different," Eggy said after sizing him up carefully.
"Then take a punch from me and see," Chu Feng said.
"Bring it on — you think this Queen is afraid of you?" Eggy said confidently.
Whoosh—
In an instant, Chu Feng struck. His punch was faster than crashing thunder, heavier than a mountain, its power immense.
Yet despite being such a devastating punch, it couldn't get anywhere near Eggy — a layer of dark energy shield blocked it effortlessly.
"My Queen, it's a good thing you're not my enemy. That power of yours is just too terrifying."
Chu Feng laughed and withdrew his fist. This was the first time he had ever exchanged blows with Eggy, and also the first time he truly felt just how fearsome the Asura's power was. Even now, having become a Half Emperor and gained new strength, he still felt like he fell far, far short when facing Eggy.
"Not bad yourself, though. Fighting four tiers above your level — in the Martial Holy Land, aside from that little princess of the so-called Elven Kingdom, you might be the only one who can do that," Eggy said with a grin.
She already knew what kind of new power Chu Feng had gained. While what Chu Feng obtained wasn't something like the Thunder Armor or Thunder Wings — martial arts that could instantly boost one's cultivation by an entire stage — what he gained was the ability to fight against the heavens.
Previously, Chu Feng could fight three tiers above his level. As a First Stage Half Emperor, he could contend with an ordinary Fourth Stage Half Emperor.
But now Chu Feng possessed fighting power that transcended four tiers. That meant with his First Stage Half Emperor cultivation, he could hold his own against an ordinary Fifth Stage Half Emperor.
To put it another way, within the Martial Holy Land, every top-tier genius possessed the ability to fight above their level, ranging from one tier to three tiers above.
But generally, the very best among them only had three-tier transcendence — people like Dantai Xue, Nangong Ya, and Nangong Baihe, with whom Chu Feng had a decent relationship.
Even
But Chu Feng now had four-tier transcendence. That meant even against the most elite geniuses of the Martial Holy Land, so long as they were at the same cultivation level, Chu Feng could absolutely crush them.
And as far as anyone knew, in the current Martial Holy Land, no one besides the Elven Kingdom's princess possessed four-tier transcendence.
But that wasn't the key point. The truly important thing was that transcendent fighting power was usually visible at a glance — one could generally tell what level of combat ability someone possessed.
However, on the surface, Chu Feng still appeared to have only three-tier transcendence. Only when he actually engaged in combat — when he chose to unleash his four-tier power — would people realize he possessed four-tier transcendence.
That was why, before Chu Feng made his move, Eggy couldn't see anything at all. But after taking a single punch, everything became clear.
"Apart from this transcendent fighting power, did you gain anything else?" Eggy continued.
"I've gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Thunder inside me. If I use Thunderbolt Strike again, it probably won't be as exhausting or as taxing as before," Chu Feng said.
"That's quite good too. By that logic, once you become a Martial Emperor, wouldn't you wield five-tier transcendence? At that point, Martial Emperors at the same level would be no match for you at all, haha…" Eggy laughed happily, and there was good reason for her joy.
