"Father, this has nothing to do with
"That's right, Father, please think of something quickly."
As Chu Feng stood on the brink of death,
As for the Clan Master of the Ancient War Clan, his face was filled with a complex expression — yet he opened his mouth several times without managing to utter a single word.
Hummm—
However, in the very next moment, the Ancient War Sword suddenly moved. It transformed into a dazzling streak of golden light and shot straight toward Chu Feng.
At that instant, everyone assumed Chu Feng was dead. After all, that aura was simply far too terrifying.
Yet, when the golden light truly enveloped Chu Feng, they were stunned to discover that he was not dead. They could still sense his aura.
"What's going on?" The members of the Ancient War Clan each wore looks of confusion on their faces.
"It hasn't killed you yet — did it succeed?" The Queen was overjoyed.
"I don't think it has succeeded yet. That killing intent is still surrounding me." Compared to the Queen, Chu Feng remained relatively calm, as though he had already seen past life and death.
In truth, it wasn't that he had transcended life and death — he simply understood very clearly that whether he lived or died at this moment was not his decision to make.
Furthermore, he had a certain degree of confidence in his own speculation. Even though the outcome was still uncertain, he felt that he should be able to survive.
Hummm—
Just then, the golden light began to contract, ultimately wrapping around Chu Feng's entire body.
Like a layer of golden armor, it covered him completely.
Chu Feng, as he appeared now, radiated a brilliance even more dazzling than the sun itself.
"That is…?" The curious gazes of the Ancient War Clan grew ever more bewildered.
"Chu Feng, I am fond of a person like you — one who is loyal and righteous."
"Today, I shall give you a chance. I will arrange a formation, and within it there will be nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine swords."
"Among them, there is one Life Sword and one Death Sword."
"The Death Sword will relentlessly hunt you down, its speed increasing continuously. Should it catch you, you will die without a doubt."
"Therefore, you must seize the Life Sword before the Death Sword catches you," the Ancient War Sword declared.
"You've got to be kidding me — find one Life Sword out of nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine swords?"
"The odds of survival are way too slim!" The Queen was seething with fury.
The members of the Ancient War Clan also shook their heads one after another. While the Ancient War Sword had indeed given Chu Feng a chance to survive, they all felt that this sliver of hope was simply far too minuscule.
However, when the Ancient War Sword's next words rang out, every single person was struck with shock.
"If you manage to seize the Life Sword, I will serve you," the Ancient War Sword said.
"What did it just say?" Upon hearing those words, the expressions of the Ancient War Clan members shifted dramatically.
The Ancient War Sword — this was the most powerful secret skill of their Ancient War Clan.
For so many years, no one had been able to awaken it. And now Chu Feng had actually been given such an opportunity.
In that moment, many of the Ancient War Clan members looked at Chu Feng with eyes that no longer held sympathy — some were filled with nothing but envy and jealousy.
Though this trial was truly terrifying, when they thought about it, success would mean not only surviving but also obtaining the Ancient War Sword, such a formidable secret skill. They felt that a trial like this was something anyone would yearn for.
If it were them, perhaps they would have taken the risk as well.
"Chu Feng, are you ready?" the Ancient War Sword asked once more.
"
Hummm—
In the next instant, Chu Feng felt everything before his eyes shifting rapidly. His body continued to sink, as if plunging into a bottomless abyss.
