He looked up.
There stood Chu Feng in the sky above.
Right before the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master.
It was Chu Feng who had caught the sword in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master's hand with his bare palm, stopping those blades from falling.
As for the thunderous roar, that too had come from Chu Feng.
Nine-colored lightning shrouded Chu Feng's entire body, even seeping from his eyes — his twin pupils were completely engulfed by it.
That was not Lightning Armor, because the lightning surging through him was far more powerful than any Lightning Armor could ever be.
"Chu Feng?"
The Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master's eyes went wide upon seeing him, but an instant later she was overcome with wild elation: "You actually dare come back to throw away your life? Very well, what a loyal little brat. I'll fulfill your wish — I'll send you and your master on your way together today!"
With that, she tightened her grip on the divine sword, intending to slice off the hand that was grasping it.
But the very next moment, she froze.
In stunned disbelief, she discovered that the divine sword was practically embedded in Chu Feng's palm — she couldn't move it at all.
Crack— Right then, Chu Feng's palm clenched. Lightning raged forth, crushing the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master's divine sword to smithereens.
But it wasn't just the weapon that was destroyed. The lightning that surged from his clenched palm pierced clean through the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master, leaving multiple scorched wounds across her body.
Most shocking of all was the lightning scar across her face.
At that moment, the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master finally realized something was terribly wrong, and she hastily dissolved into golden qi and scattered away.
"Form the formation!!!"
Simultaneously, the rest of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace forces sensed the danger. Led by those eighteen Fourth-grade Heavenly God elders, they arrayed themselves in perfect military formation across the void, like an army of celestial soldiers.
Before long, the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master's qi recongealed before her army, and she restored her physical form.
But the moment she did, her expression changed drastically.
She had just discovered, to her horror, that the wounds scorched into her body by Chu Feng's lightning refused to heal.
How could that be?
Chu Feng, however, did not pursue the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master. Instead, he swept his sleeve, and several slips of paper fell from it, merging into the bodies of Shen Hui and the others.
They were treasures meant to stabilize the souls of the Spirit Race members.
But perhaps because they were imbued with the power of lightning, their effect was far greater than it would have been otherwise.
"Bloodline Rampage?"
From the distance, the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master spoke in a low, guarded voice.
It wasn't just the powerful nine-colored lightning radiating from Chu Feng that alarmed her — the void above was blanketed in dark clouds, and within those clouds, nine-colored lightning churned and surged as well.
Most importantly, the power Chu Feng was displaying now had nothing to do with his own cultivation level.
It was a force that could go toe to toe with the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master.
"Chu Feng, you…"
"Could it be…"
Eggy's eyes were just as wide with shock. She had seen something like this before — it was indeed a Bloodline Rampage.
But compared to the people of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace, Eggy knew more.
She knew that Chu Feng had once obtained a mysterious iron fragment inside the God's Era, and that fragment contained the cultivation method for achieving Bloodline Rampage.
Ever since obtaining that iron fragment, Chu Feng had devoted whatever time he had to studying it. In recent months, nearly all of his cultivation had revolved around the Bloodline Soul Puppets and that mysterious fragment.
She knew he must have already made significant progress.
That was also why Chu Feng had refused to let her intervene.
He intended to handle this himself.
BOOM— Just then, the phantom silhouettes of nine colossal lightning beasts materialized in the sky above. In the next instant, they transformed into nine-colored lightning bolts that crashed down upon Chu Feng.
The nine-colored lightning around Chu Feng's body blazed even more brilliantly. The nine-colored lightning in the sky and the nine-colored lightning wreathing Chu Feng's body seemed to merge as one.
Then, from behind Chu Feng's back, four bolts of lightning erupted and unfurled into enormous wings of lightning.
Yet these lightning wings were markedly different from ordinary Thunder Wings — not only were they vastly larger, but their aura was incomparably more fearsome. It didn't look like a mere technique at all; it looked like Divine Thunder itself given form.
