However, Chu Feng had long been prepared for Wuma Shengjie's incoming charge. A faint smile crossed his face as he gripped the bow in his left hand and pulled back hard with his right.
Swish, swish, swish— In the next instant, countless golden arrows erupted from the Arrow Dao Immortal Bow in his grasp like a torrential downpour.
With such a staggering number of arrows hurtling forward like a wall, Wuma Shengjie had no way to dodge.
Yet facing this onslaught, Wuma Shengjie showed not the slightest trace of fear. The Immortal Armament dagger in his hand began to spin.
Golden light radiated outward, forming a shield of martial power that materialized before him.
Clang, clang, clang— The arrows hammered into the martial power shield one after another.
The shield forged by the Immortal Armament dagger was indeed impregnable.
But the golden arrows loosed from the Arrow Dao Immortal Bow carried a force that was equally unstoppable.
Under this barrage, Wuma Shengjie was blasted backward. Not only did he fail to land where he had been standing before, he was driven back tens of thousands of meters.
It was only when Chu Feng ceased his attack that Wuma Shengjie managed to stabilize himself.
"Trying to snatch it from me — I'm afraid that won't be happening."
Chu Feng said with a grin.
"Hmph, do you really think you can be my match?"
A look of undisguised fury surfaced on Wuma Shengjie's face.
"And why couldn't I be your match?" Chu Feng asked with a grin.
Zzzzzzz— In the next moment, lightning surged across Wuma Shengjie's forehead. Before long, a Heavenly Thunder Mark had condensed there.
And with that, Wuma Shengjie's cultivation rose from fourth rank Martial Immortal to the Martial Immortal realm.
"Chu Feng, do you think that as a Heavenly Bloodline bearer, only the Divine Punishment Mystic Art you cultivate can unlock the power of the Thunder Mark?"
When Wuma Shengjie spoke those words, his rage was still plainly evident.
He was furious — because he felt he had been looked down upon.
It was well known that Heavenly Bloodline bearers were extraordinarily powerful, far beyond even those blessed with a God-given Divine Body.
The reason for this was that Heavenly Bloodline bearers could, as their cultivation advanced, progressively unlock the Thunder Armor, the Thunder Wings, and the Thunder Mark — bloodline powers that granted them each an additional rank of cultivation.
The Thunder Armor, the Thunder Wings, and the Thunder Mark — any one of them could elevate a Heavenly Bloodline bearer by a single rank.
All three combined could elevate them by three ranks.
For any martial cultivator, advancing even a single rank was an arduous task.
To be able to boost one's cultivation by three ranks in an instant through the power of one's bloodline — just how terrifying that was could well be imagined.
However, once Heavenly Bloodline bearers stepped into the True Immortal realm, their Heavenly Bloodline would be sealed.
At that point, Heavenly Bloodline bearers stood on the same starting line as all other martial cultivators.
It was said that only those with extraordinary innate talent could unseal this bloodline power.
