"Chu Feng, don't think that just because you've mastered a large number of secret skills, you're truly powerful."
"For a martial cultivator, what matters is the strength of one's power — and the same applies to secret skills."
"I, Chu Luxuan, shall show you today what a truly powerful secret skill looks like."
The moment Chu Luxuan finished speaking, his hands interwove in a series of rapid seals. Then, from within his body, a red glow once again began to emanate.
That red light continuously merged into the six crimson figures around him, and those six crimson figures grew increasingly blurred — until, shockingly, they began to fuse together.
In the blink of an eye, the six crimson figures merged into a single colossal creature.
The creature stood several hundred meters tall and stretched over a thousand meters long. It had six heads and twenty-six claws.
There were so many claws, thrashing about like tentacles, that it looked utterly revolting.
Yet at this moment, not a single person present dared to look down on this monster.
The aura emanating from it was extraordinarily powerful — far surpassing even Chu Luxuan himself.
Naturally, this colossal creature was far more powerful than Chu Feng as well.
"What's happening? Did he fuse his secret skills together?"
"Incredible! The aura of this secret skill is so powerful — it's practically surpassed Forbidden Ancestral Martial Arts!"
Everyone was shaken by the secret skill Chu Luxuan had just fused. In other words, they were frightened, because the aura it radiated at this moment was something nearly every person present would find almost impossible to withstand.
They understood all too well that if this secret-skill monster went on a rampage, every single person here would surely die — with no chance of escape.
"This secret skill is called Six Paths Demon Transformation. It was created by the legendary Six Paths Demon Lord."
"A country bumpkin like you has probably never even heard of the Six Paths Demon Lord's name."
"All you need to know is that the Six Paths Demon Lord is an existence you could spend your entire life looking up to and still never reach."
"And this secret skill, Six Paths Demon Transformation, came from the hands of the Six Paths Demon Lord. Setting aside its power for the moment, its value alone is beyond estimation."
"This was the finest reward I received within the Chu Heavenly Clan. Of course, a reward is just a reward — being able to wield it relied entirely on my own ability."
"Before me, a total of six people had been granted this reward, but every one of them was forced to give it up because they couldn't control Six Paths Demon Transformation." Chu Luxuan spoke with undisguised pride.
His words were nothing short of shameless self-promotion, heaping praise upon himself.
And yet, among the crowd watching, not a single person felt any disdain for it. Quite the opposite — all they felt was awe.
After all, it was the simple truth. When they searched their own hearts, they knew that if they were in his place, none of them could have controlled such a powerful secret skill either.
"Pah! How utterly disgusting. This Chu Luxuan is even more shameless than his brother." But when the Queen heard these words, she spat viciously and then declared:
"Chu Feng, use the Ancient War Axe and show this so-called genius of the Chu Heavenly Clan what it truly means to be small — to learn that beyond the heavens there are greater heavens, and beyond people there are greater people, and above secret skills there exist even more powerful secret skills."
"Since the Queen has spoken, naturally I must obey her command." Chu Feng replied with a smile.
The exchange between Chu Feng and the Queen could only be heard by the Queen herself, but the smile that appeared on Chu Feng's face was visible to everyone.
The others might not have thought much of it, but when that smile was spotted by Chu Luxuan — who was busy strutting about in triumph — his expression turned dark.
"What are you laughing at?! Are you looking down on my secret skill, Six Paths Demon Transformation?!" Chu Luxuan demanded furiously.
"I'm not looking down on it. I just find your shameless boasting rather amusing. You seem awfully worried that people might not realize how amazing you are, don't you?" Chu Feng replied without the slightest courtesy, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Shameless boasting, is it? This young master will show you whether it's boasting or genuine ability!" The moment Chu Luxuan finished speaking, a deep red glow blazed fiercely in his eyes.
The next instant, the same crimson light erupted from the eyes of the secret-skill creature, Six Paths Demon Transformation — as though it were now under Chu Luxuan's direct control.
Most critically, the aura that Six Paths Demon Transformation radiated at this moment was several times more terrifying than before.
"This is bad — that secret skill is too powerful. Chu Feng might not be able to handle it."
At that moment, those who were rooting for Chu Feng all wore expressions of deep worry. They feared that Chu Feng would be unable to withstand the onslaught of this secret skill.
