At that very moment, Chu Feng took another step forward and ascended to the seventh level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Platform.
By the time Chu Feng reached the seventh level, exclamations had already been ringing out ceaselessly from the crowd. These were not just the cries of the younger generation—even the veteran powerhouses present could not help but cry out in astonishment.
After all, this was the Chu Heavenly Clan. These people were all members of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
They were the most experienced, most knowledgeable, and most noble people in the entire vast upper world.
Yet when they saw Chu Feng ascend to the seventh level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Platform, they simply could not maintain their composure.
Because the seventh level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Platform was the highest point that the current Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan had ever reached.
In other words, Chu Feng's talent was at least on par with that of the current Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Chu Feng, I truly underestimated you."
Even Chu Lingxi's beautiful eyes wavered at this sight. The seventh level was a place even she had never managed to reach.
And whoever reached this seventh level was a dragon among men—a dragon among men within the Chu Heavenly Clan.
However, that was not Chu Feng's goal. He raised his foot, preparing to ascend to the eighth level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Platform.
The moment Chu Feng made this move, everyone stared without blinking—even holding their breath.
That was a place only the ancestors of the Chu Heavenly Clan had ever reached. Could Chu Feng… actually do it?
Thud— He succeeded. Chu Feng's foot landed firmly on the eighth step, surpassing the current Clan Master of the Chu Heavenly Clan, surpassing the vast majority of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
This eighth step, after all, had only ever been trodden by three people in the entire history of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
They were Chu Feng's grandfather, Chu Hanxian.
Chu Feng's father, Chu Xuanyuan.
And the ancestor of the Chu Heavenly Clan, Chu Yetianhong.
He did it. Chu Feng truly did it.
In this moment, not only were the eyes of everyone present blazing with fervor, but deep within the main city of the Chu Heavenly Clan, the gaze of an elderly man also turned complex.
This elderly man was none other than the second-strongest member of the Chu Heavenly Clan in the current era—Chu Hanpeng.
"It seems you truly are Chu Xuanyuan's son."
Having said this, Chu Hanpeng turned around decisively, preparing to leave.
"Hm?" But the moment he turned, he sensed something. His gaze immediately shot back toward Chu Feng, and the next instant… within those deep, fathomless eyes, a look of disbelief and shock also surfaced.
And at the same time, outside the main city, the members of the Chu Heavenly Clan had already erupted into utter chaos.
