"Chu Feng, I originally wanted to play with you a bit longer."
"But I didn't expect that my casual messing around would make you overthink things."
"Did you really think you could defeat me?"
"Since you've harbored such a delusion, then I shall personally put an end to it."
Hummmm—
After Linghu Hongfei finished speaking, his cultivation level surged once more, rising from the seventh-rank Emperor to the eighth-rank Emperor.
It was the Azure Nether Soul!!!
Linghu Hongfei had unleashed the power of the formidable treasure within his body — the Azure Nether Soul.
"Is this the moment that decides the winner?"
Once Linghu Hongfei released the power of the Azure Nether Soul, many people felt that this confrontation might be reaching its end.
Because as far as they knew, Chu Feng did not seem to possess a treasure capable of boosting his cultivation level.
And treasures that could elevate one's cultivation were extremely difficult to control.
Take Linghu Hongfei's Azure Nether Soul, for example — it had merged with his body when he was still a child.
So people believed that even if Chu Feng currently possessed such a treasure, it would be impossible for him to fuse with it in such a short time.
If Chu Feng didn't have a treasure that could raise his cultivation...
Then what could he possibly use to continue contending against the current Linghu Hongfei?
Awooo—
But who would have imagined that right after Linghu Hongfei released the power of the Azure Nether Soul, a piercing roar would erupt from within Chu Feng's body as well.
When that roar rang out, majestic flames also surged forth from within him.
The flames spiraled upward into the sky, and at first glance, they appeared incredibly beautiful.
But upon closer inspection, those were not flames at all — they were fire-red runes.
The runes intertwined with one another, radiating brilliant firelight that resembled blazing flames, but they were far more advanced runes in truth.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that once those fire-red runes were released, they actually took shape and formed the image of a massive Qilin upon Chu Feng's body.
That piercing cry had come from this enormous Fire Qilin.
And at this moment, Chu Feng's cultivation also rose accordingly, climbing from the seventh-rank Emperor to the eighth-rank Emperor.
"Chu Feng — he also possesses a cultivation-boosting treasure?"
"And judging by the looks of it, that seems to be the legendary treasure — the Fire Qilin Curse!!!"
"It's the Fire Qilin Curse. It really is the Fire Qilin Curse."
"Hasn't that treasure always been in Gu Mingyuan's possession? Back then, someone offered an astronomical price for it, but Gu Mingyuan refused to sell. And now she's actually given it to Chu Feng?"
"It seems their relationship really is extraordinary — to give away something this valuable just like that."
At this point, the crowd actually recognized that the power Chu Feng had unleashed originated from the Fire Qilin Curse.
This was to be expected. Throughout the entire Ancestral Martial Star Domain, any treasure capable of boosting one's cultivation was an incredibly famous artifact, and virtually everyone had heard of them.
And the Fire Qilin Curse, in particular, was exceptionally well-known.
Although no one had personally witnessed the power of the Fire Qilin Curse, they had all read about it and knew the general form of its power.
Coupled with the fact that Chu Feng and Gu Mingyuan's relationship was indeed far from ordinary, the crowd immediately concluded that the technique Chu Feng had employed was none other than the formidable treasure — the Fire Qilin Curse.
