Zzzzaaap—
Upon seeing this, bolts of lightning surged within Chu Feng's eyes, and under the power of this force, the Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings enveloped his physical body.
With the support of these two layers of Divine Thunder, Chu Feng's cultivation rose by two full tiers, climbing from first-tier Half Martial Ancestor to third-tier Half Martial Ancestor.
With his cultivation boosted, Chu Feng's speed surged dramatically as well — a pace that surpassed even rushing lightning by several times over.
And yet, despite all of this, the distance between Chu Feng and that bizarre Fierce Beast proved surprisingly difficult to close.
The beast's speed was simply astonishing, far exceeding what its cultivation level should have allowed.
Awoooo—
Suddenly, a furious roar erupted from the depths of the forest, so terrifying that even the savage beasts lurking within scattered in every direction.
At that moment, an imposing, massive azure dragon — radiating an aura of absolute dominance — appeared beneath Chu Feng's feet.
It was the Supreme Secret Technique: Azure Dragon Swift Movement.
After Chu Feng unleashed the Azure Dragon Swift Movement, his speed climbed yet again.
Now standing atop the dragon's head, he became a streak of azure light, weaving through the mountain forest at a pace that was nothing short of outrageous.
Under these conditions, the gap between Chu Feng and the Fierce Beast finally began to narrow. Moments later, the distance between them had shrunk to less than a thousand meters.
Awoooo—
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
……
However, what Chu Feng hadn't anticipated was that the very instant he caught up to the Fierce Beast, the creature suddenly whirled around, opened its massive maw, and unleashed several blasts of dark light — like black meteors — straight at him.
Each of those dark projectiles carried immense Ancestor-level power. Upon reaching Chu Feng, they detonated violently, sweeping across all directions with truly terrifying force.
"Fourth-tier Half Martial Ancestor cultivation, with two tiers of heaven-defying combat power?"
Frowning slightly, Chu Feng finally understood why the beast had been so fast — why he'd needed to push himself to the limit just to catch up.
This Fierce Beast possessed combat power that exceeded the ordinary Half Martial Ancestor by two full tiers.
It was worth noting that compared to ordinary Martial Emperors and Half Martial Ancestors, Chu Feng's own heaven-defying combat power exceeded theirs by only three tiers.
And this Fierce Beast had two — just one tier less than Chu Feng himself. It was a special and formidable creature, which explained why it was so extraordinary.
In that moment, Chu Feng felt a measure of relief. He was glad the beast's cultivation was only at the fourth-tier Half Martial Ancestor level. If it had been a full Martial Ancestor, encountering it would have been extremely dangerous.
After all, with the beast's fourth-tier Half Martial Ancestor cultivation plus two tiers of heaven-defying combat power, its true strength was equivalent to an ordinary sixth-tier Half Martial Ancestor.
That put it on equal footing with Chu Feng at his fullest. Had its cultivation been even one tier higher, Chu Feng likely wouldn't have been its match.
"It doesn't matter where you came from — but your life, I'm taking today."
As he spoke, the Coiling Dragon Furious Cleaver materialized in his palm. With the Azure Dragon Swift Movement beneath his feet and the Coiling Dragon Furious Cleaver in hand, he charged straight at the Fierce Beast.
Awoooo—
Unwilling to back down, the Fierce Beast — unable to outrun Chu Feng — swung its two razor-sharp claws and lunged head-on, determined to meet him in a clash of raw power.
Booom, boom, boom, boom—
In an instant, thunderous explosions erupted in every direction. Shockwaves rippled outward, and the raging forces transformed into enormous waves of energy that swept across the surroundings.
The battle between the two raged for a full half-hour. The area of forest destroyed was beyond estimation — all that could be seen were towering plumes of churning black flames and shattered remnants of colossal trees strewn everywhere.
In the end, the Fierce Beast was defeated at Chu Feng's hands. It was worth noting that in order to overcome a creature whose strength was nearly equal to his own, Chu Feng did not resort to even a half-complete Ancestor Armament — he relied solely on the Coiling Dragon Furious Cleaver, a Martial Emperor Armament.
