Under Chu Feng's attack, almost none of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace lineage survived.
The reason it was "almost" was because the remnant soul of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace Master still remained.
But at this moment, she was dumbstruck — like a frost-bitten eggplant, completely wilted.
After witnessing with her own eyes as those who represented the future of her Heavenly Sword Sacred Palace had their bodies and souls utterly shattered by Chu Feng.
She couldn't even speak anymore. Left with nothing but extreme grief and despair, she no longer looked at Chu Feng. Instead, she silently lowered her head.
"I..."
"I'm sorry, ancestors."
Those words spoken, as though she had lost all will to live, that remnant soul also dissipated into wisps of energy.
Meanwhile, the vast crowd outside the world fell into silence.
Whether shaken or terrified, everyone wore complicated expressions, standing frozen in place like statues turned to stone.
Only their eyes remained fixed on that Thunderfire World.
As the power of the thunder dissipated, the thunder and flames that shrouded the Thunderfire World reappeared, once again obscuring everyone's view.
But people knew that everything that had just happened was real. Chu Feng had displayed heaven-reaching power, effortlessly annihilating those colossal phantoms that had seemed like gods themselves.
Fear — regardless of how they had previously felt about Chu Feng, everyone's first reaction now was fear.
Including Jie Tian's father, Jie Mubai.
Jie Mubai, hidden in the starry sky not far away, had naturally witnessed what had just transpired. Due to his closer distance and his own formidable cultivation, he had seen it more clearly than anyone else — and was all the more shaken because of it.
He was already a powerful Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Master, yet watching that had been like a mortal witnessing the clash of gods — witnessing power from an entirely different level.
"That little bastard Chu Feng — he's actually defied the heavens to this extent?"
Jie Mubai's gaze was complicated. Compared to the others, he felt just as much fear, but there was also a hint of relief in his heart.
He had tried to make a move against Chu Feng multiple times before, and Chu Feng had always emerged unscathed. He had always believed that Chu Feng had powerful benefactors helping him escape danger each time.
But only now did he realize — the most terrifying thing wasn't Chu Feng's friends. It was Chu Feng himself.
The power Chu Feng had just displayed — forget about himself, he couldn't think of anyone he knew who could stand against Chu Feng in that state.
"Bloodline berserk, pushed to this extent — you must be dead for sure now, Chu Feng?"
"If that's the case, then those treasures on your body can't go to waste for others."
Even amid his fear, Jie Mubai's thoughts turned to other possibilities. Bloodline berserk — he had heard of it, and had even been fortunate enough to witness it once.
That time, his Seven Realms Sacred Palace had secretly ambushed and killed a prodigy.
The prodigy, driven to desperation, had suddenly triggered a bloodline berserk. Though it wasn't the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, the power displayed was equally astonishing.
But compared to what Chu Feng had just shown, it was utterly insignificant.
Yet even with a bloodline berserk of that lesser magnitude, that prodigy had been unable to withstand it and was devoured by the bloodline, perishing on the spot.
Based on this reasoning, he concluded that Chu Feng must surely be dead.
A dying man was nothing to fear. Rather, the treasures on Chu Feng's body sparked a deep greed in Jie Mubai.
So Jie Mubai used his methods to conceal himself and steeled his nerves, entering the Thunderfire World.
After entering, he used his observation techniques to lock onto Chu Feng's position from a distance.
But upon seeing it, his face changed drastically.
Though the terrifying thunder had already dissipated, indicating that the bloodline berserk had reached its end...
