Rumble—
However, the terrifying Nine-colored Divine Thunder did not linger for long before it descended, striking down toward the distant reaches of the Yin-Yang Withered Well World.
"It really is a lightning phenomenon."
"Is that
"He broke through again?"
"Damn it—has he already obtained the opportunity?"
He looked down at the ground beneath his feet—a land that likely held an opportunity, yet one he could not decipher. Ultimately, he gritted his teeth, and his figure shot forward as he flew rapidly toward the direction where the thunder had struck.
He was going to track it down—to find Chu Feng.
Because he believed that the only one capable of triggering such a terrifying lightning phenomenon was Chu Feng.
Not even his brother could have caused such a fearsome lightning display.
And Chu Feng's rate of breakthroughs was far too rapid. From what he knew, when Chu Feng had first entered the Wo Long Martial Sect, his cultivation had been quite weak.
Yet he had broken through again and again afterward. At this rate, forget about himself—even his brother would sooner or later be surpassed by Chu Feng.
Therefore… he had to eliminate Chu Feng as quickly as possible, or the consequences would be endless.
Though the spot where the Nine-colored Divine Thunder had fallen was quite far away, traces of its residual power still lingered.
Strangely, not only did that residual power persist for a long time, but even the desert that lay in the path—the very same desert that had blocked Chu Feng before—did not behave in that bizarre manner.
In front of Zuoqiu Yanliang, the desert appeared completely ordinary, and he crossed it without delay.
Thus, as Zuoqiu Yanliang tracked the trail, he quickly arrived before the stone forest.
Seeing the lingering traces of thunder still swirling in the sky above, Zuoqiu Yanliang knew that Chu Feng was still here and had not left.
However, Zuoqiu Yanliang also realized the stone forest was no simple formation. After observing it for some time, he found himself completely unable to decipher it, much less locate Chu Feng within.
So Zuoqiu Yanliang released
Xia Yan and Li Muzhi had no idea what the current situation was.
When Xia Yan materialized, her very first reaction was to hurl curses at Zuoqiu Yanliang.
But Zuoqiu Yanliang, wielding his Emperor Armament, said nothing and drove a single sword stroke clean through Xia Yan's shoulder.
"Zuoqiu Yanliang—what are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Li Muzhi, who had been silent until now, spoke up in fury.
Though he had long known that Zuoqiu Yanliang would not let them go, when Zuoqiu Yanliang actually struck, he still had to suppress the rage boiling within him.
After all—they were fellow sect disciples!!!
But who could have expected that Zuoqiu Yanliang would pull his Emperor Armament free and immediately thrust the next strike at Li Muzhi? That single blow pierced straight through Li Muzhi's throat.
At this sight, the others all went pale with terror.
They thought Zuoqiu Yanliang was going to silence them for good.
That is, until Zuoqiu Yanliang shouted toward the stone forest.
"Chu Feng—get the hell out here."
"If you don't come out, I'll take their wretched lives."
Only then did Xia Yan and the rest finally understand why Zuoqiu Yanliang had suddenly turned on them.
It was because Chu Feng was hiding within that stone forest, and Zuoqiu Yanliang was using them to force Chu Feng out of it.
…
Chu Feng was still inside that sacred world.
He had in fact already broken through successfully—his cultivation had stepped into the First Rank of Martial Emperor.
Not only had he entered the First Rank of Martial Emperor, but the World Spirit Gate that had remained sealed all this time could finally be opened. Chu Feng was now able to call upon
Yet at this moment, his eyes remained shut. This was because… the temporary power of enhanced comprehension bestowed upon him by that monstrous old man still lingered.
Chu Feng wanted to seize this opportunity to break through the seal of the Wo Long Soul Armor once more, attempting to push straight ahead to the Second Rank of Martial Emperor.
Because of what he had just experienced, Chu Feng understood better than anyone.
The power currently swirling within his body was far more than just a simple boost to his comprehension.
Because what he had just gone through was no ordinary tribulation of lightning—it was a Divine Thunder Tribulation of the most terrifying kind.
