Huangfu Shengyu, despite possessing the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Grade, had only been able to trigger a phenomenon. As for the bloodline power released from within, each of the nine thunder beasts he manifested stood at a mere ten thousand meters tall.
And yet, that was already considered extraordinarily powerful.
Even if Huangfu Jiangyao had stood upon this Combat Platform, the phantom thunder beasts he could have released would have been only a few thousand meters in height.
As for Huangfu Fanni, had he gone up there, he could have produced beasts barely a hundred meters tall.
A phenomenon? He shouldn't even dream of it.
This had nothing to do with their cultivation. It was the inherent strength and rank of their bloodline — and that represented the bloodline's upper limit.
It was like a cat, no matter how formidable, ruling supreme among all cats — how could it possibly rival a great tiger?
But the bloodline power Chu Feng had released now had already surpassed all understanding.
Huangfu Shengyu was already at the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Grade.
Could it be that Chu Feng's bloodline was even stronger than Huangfu Shengyu's?
"Damn it all!!!!"
At that moment, an agonized roar of utter unwillingness thundered across the Combat Platform.
It was Huangfu Shengyu.
Not only had Huangfu Shengyu dropped to his knees — he was sprawled flat on the ground.
Though he braced his hands against the earth and struggled with all his might to rise, he could do nothing but tremble violently, utterly powerless.
And the nine thunder beasts he had unleashed from within his body had not only shrunk from towering ten-thousand-meter titans to a mere few thousand meters, but they were also swaying and shuddering uncontrollably.
Fear. The nine thunder beasts that had been domineering and supremely confident moments ago now radiated pure, abject terror.
But looking at Chu Feng's nine thunder beasts — they bore no hostility toward Huangfu Shengyu, nor toward anyone else.
They had simply been released by Chu Feng and revealed in their true forms. Because of their colossal size, they could only circle through the sky. That was all.
So why was Huangfu Shengyu so terrified?
It was instinct. Like a vicious cur watching a great tiger pass by.
Even if the tiger didn't so much as glance at the cur, the cur's legs would still turn to jelly from fear alone.
"If what Huangfu Shengyu said is true — that the Heavenly Thunder Bloodline truly comes in different grades…"
"Then Chu Feng's Heavenly Thunder Bloodline must be above even the Sacred Grade."
"Chu Feng… just what kind of existence are you?"
Xianhai Shaoyu's thoughts drifted in that direction, and he couldn't help but glance at Chu Feng.
"Sis, you've got sharp eyes."
"What are you talking about?" Little Yu'er asked, confused.
"You saw through it ages ago — how incredible Brother Chu Feng truly is," Xianhai Shaoyu said.
"You're crazy." Little Yu'er shot her brother a glare.
Her feelings for Chu Feng had nothing to do with his strength.
"Oh my heavens, Brother Chu Feng, what is he trying to do — drive me insane?!"
"I already knew he was amazing."
"But why does he have to shatter my understanding of him over and over again?!"
Long Chengyu gaped with his mouth wide open, heedless of everyone's reactions.
But in truth, no matter what he said, no one would have found it an exaggeration.
Under such overwhelming might, even those outsiders who had known nothing of Chu Feng now looked upon him with entirely changed eyes.
It was reverence and fear born from the very depths of their souls.
After all, every bystander present had felt the crushing pressure of Chu Feng's Heavenly Thunder Bloodline.
This was nothing like the intimidation Huangfu Shengyu had projected.
This was genuine, soul-deep terror.
