"Is this an illusion?"
Everyone stood there with jaws dropped, eyes wide, their expressions and gazes showing a level of shock they had never experienced before.
Chu Feng's cultivation had actually surpassed that peak Martial Emperor?
If that was the case, then Chu Feng was also in the Martial Emperor realm?
But… how was that possible? How could he have cultivated to such a realm in so short a time?
Hadn't he only been at the Supreme realm during the Strongest Younger Generation Competition?
Awooo—
Just as everyone found it impossible to believe, the red aura once again surged forth from the Darknight Divine River, carrying overwhelming might as it swept toward Chu Feng.
And this time, the power was even stronger.
Seeing this, Chu Feng remained calm. The surrounding space twisted, and then the four divine beasts — the Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, the Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Martial — manifested before him.
With the Four Symbols Divine Body bolstering him, Chu Feng's combat power surged once more. Though he could not step into the Half-God realm, his battle strength had risen three full levels beyond the foundation of an eighth rank Martial Emperor.
Boom—
Chu Feng threw another punch.
Yet this simple fist strike instantly reduced the red aura — which harbored world-destroying might — to dust.
Awooo—
But before long, the red aura surged forth yet again, its power intensified further, reaching a level that even Chu Feng could no longer withstand.
"Lord Kui Ting, lend me your strength."
The moment Chu Feng spoke, a voice that only he could hear echoed in his ears.
"Your subordinate obeys."
It was the voice of Asura King Kui Ting.
And as that voice rang out, Kui Ting's power flowed from the Spirit Space into Chu Feng's body.
The cultivation of a fourth rank Half-God had been bestowed upon Chu Feng!!!
With the Half-God's power now his own, Chu Feng merely gave a casual wave of his sleeve, and the red aura was utterly annihilated.
But that casual wave also exposed the power Chu Feng currently wielded.
"What kind of aura was that? Did I sense that correctly?"
Not only the cultivators of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain and the Upper Realm of the Great Thousand — even the members of the Saint Light Clan were shaken by the aura they sensed from Chu Feng.
It was an aura they had never felt before. The mere instant of sensing it made them feel as though they were suffocating.
"Listen, you lot — consider yourselves fortunate. Sharpen your focus now and sense it carefully. It might be of tremendous help to your path of martial cultivation."
"Because what Young Hero Chu Feng is currently releasing is divine-level martial power. This may very well be the only chance in your entire lives to feel divine-level martial power. Don't let it go to waste."
Just as everyone was puzzling over what was happening, Saint Light Whitebrow unexpectedly spoke up.
And the moment he did, the heavens and earth erupted in an uproar!!!
"Divine-level martial power?"
"Does that mean Chu Feng has already stepped into the Half-God realm?"
"Isn't that a legendary realm?"
Everyone felt as though their very souls had been struck.
The Half-God realm? It was so impossibly distant that many of them had even doubted whether such a realm truly existed.
But that lord would not lie to them. If it was divine-level martial power, then at minimum it had to be something only a Half-God powerhouse could wield. No matter how strong a Martial Emperor might be, it was impossible for them to control divine-level martial power.
"Chu Feng… has already entered the Half-God realm?"
Looking at Chu Feng once more, people finally seemed to understand why the Saint Light Clan had sent its members to personally construct a palace for the Chu Heavenly Clan.
It turned out Chu Feng had already grown this powerful.
