The moment Chu Feng opened his eyes, he could feel the tearing pain ravaging his body begin to creep back in.
Although his physical body had fully recovered during his slumber, the pain still swept through every inch of him.
But Chu Feng was ecstatic inside.
Because at least he could confirm that he was still alive.
"This sensation?"
Before Chu Feng even had time to observe his surroundings, his expression shifted, and the joy on his face deepened.
Despite the pain consuming his entire body, Chu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Because apart from the pain, he had also sensed other changes within himself — good changes.
His Bloodline of the King, for reasons he couldn't yet fathom, had partially awakened.
The power of the Bloodline of the King — the portion now available to him — was greater than before.
After his initial burst of elation, Chu Feng didn't waste a single moment. Instead, he immediately seized the benefits brought about by the Bloodline of the King's awakening to cultivate the Primordial Meditation Technique.
This was a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity.
Sure enough, with the benefits from the Bloodline of the King's awakening combined with the foundation he had previously laid, Chu Feng's boundary cultivation soon broke through.
From the Golden Dragon God Robe, he stepped into the Emperor Dragon God Robe.
Although his advancement in cultivation stopped there, the benefits of the Bloodline of the King's partial awakening were far from limited to this.
The Emperor Dragon God Robe was comparable to a Sixth Rank Half-God.
Based on his previous strength, after stepping into the Emperor Dragon God Robe, Chu Feng's boundary combat power alone would have been comparable to the Immortal Dragon God Robe — a Seventh Rank Half-God.
With the art of boundaries, fighting above one's rank by a full level was already nothing short of miraculous.
But if one set aside combat power and focused solely on array-breaking, Chu Feng's array-breaking ability was even stronger, comparable to the Sovereign Dragon God Robe.
And now…
Chu Feng could not only break arrays with power comparable to the Sovereign Dragon God Robe while at the Emperor Dragon God Robe realm — his boundary combat power had also reached the Sovereign Dragon God Robe level.
What did this mean?
It meant a Sixth Rank Half-God possessing combat power on par with an Eighth Rank Half-God.
Among the most outstanding geniuses of the vast martial cultivation world today — people like Long Chengyu and Long Muxi — many could elevate their cultivation realms through their bloodlines.
But among those who practiced the art of boundaries, there were precious few who could boost their combat power in the same way.
Being able to raise one's boundary combat power by a single rank was already considered miraculous and nearly inconceivable.
Raising it by two ranks was unheard of.
But Chu Feng had achieved exactly that.
This… was the benefit brought by the awakening of the Bloodline of the King.
And it was a permanent benefit. Even if the Nine Dragon Force could no longer sustain Chu Feng in the future, he could maintain his boundary combat power through the Bloodline of the King alone.
Most importantly, this was only a partial awakening.
His Bloodline of the King was still an incredibly long way from being fully awakened.
Yet even this fraction alone had yielded such results.
The Bloodline of the King truly lived up to its reputation as the supreme bloodline of a Spirit World Master.
"If the Seven Worlds Holy Land found out that I, Chu Feng, not only survived but turned disaster into fortune, I wonder how many of those old fools would drop dead from rage."
Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh at the thought.
Although he didn't know the exact reason for the Bloodline of the King's awakening, he felt certain it had to be connected to that battle with the Seven Worlds Holy Land.
Perhaps it was the Primordial Bloodline Stone, or perhaps forcibly activating an array he should never have touched had awakened the Bloodline of the King at the moment his life hung in the balance.
Chu Feng couldn't be sure, but at least the outcome was tremendously favorable.
It was exactly what the current Chu Feng desperately needed.
Moments ago, his body had been so weak that he'd even broken through while lying down.
But after the breakthrough, his body had recovered significantly, and even the pain had eased by more than half.
