At that moment, above that stretch of sea, a fierce gale whipped up, and thunderous roars echoed nonstop.
Vicious energy ripples, like sharp blades, sliced through the void and cleaved the ocean. Within that sea area, a furious bombardment raged. The ripples that writhed through the air were so devastating that even an innocent Martial Lord-level sea beast passing by would be instantly obliterated, leaving only ash. The power was truly terrifying.
And the source of all this was a seemingly weak figure—Chu Feng.
Currently clad in Thunder Armor, wielding the Silver Dragon King Weapon, and with two black wings formed from dark aura extending from his back, Chu Feng’s cultivation had surged to the sixth rank of the Martial Lord realm. His combat strength was astonishing; even a ninth-rank Martial Lord would have to give him a wide berth. He was, without exaggeration, unrivaled within the Martial Lord realm. Standing there, he looked less like a man and more like a god.
Now, Chu Feng was brandishing the Silver Dragon Spear, unleashing a relentless barrage of fierce attacks. With each movement of the spear, silver dragons condensed from white light shot forth, their fangs and claws bared, devouring mist and clouds as they exploded toward the sea surface, attacking a single target.
That target roiled within the sea area, stirring up storms and waves. It was not only terrifyingly loud but also a shocking sight—it was a colossal turtle as large as an island. This giant turtle was not only fearsome in appearance but possessed extraordinary strength, its cultivation at the first rank of the Martial King realm.
It turned out Chu Feng was using his sixth-rank Martial Lord cultivation to battle a super-giant sea turtle of the first Martial King rank.
"Has Chu Feng gone mad? To challenge that giant sea turtle? It’s the overlord of these waters. Every time we come here to train, we give it a wide berth and never dare approach." Seeing this, Dong Xue’s face was filled with shock.
"Don’t worry. No matter how powerful that sea turtle is, it can only use its own strength to block Chu Feng’s attacks. Because of the Grand Formation, it absolutely will not attack Junior Brother Chu Feng." Chun Wu explained, though she too was startled by Chu Feng’s actions.
People naturally feared powerful things. Even though they all knew the giant sea turtle wouldn’t attack them due to the Grand Formation, they still stayed away. Not for any other reason, but because it was simply too strong. If it lost control, they would surely die. Yet here was Chu Feng, doing exactly what they dared not.
"Ha ha! As expected of my Junior Brother Chu Feng! His combat strength is truly immense. Though his cultivation is only at the sixth rank of the Martial Lord realm, his fighting prowess can actually contend with a Martial King. It’s truly envy-inducing!" Zhang Tianyi was very excited; he was proud of Chu Feng and honored to have such a powerful brother.
"No matter how strong, he can’t contend with a Martial King. He only dares to do this because he knows that giant sea turtle won’t attack him. If it could, he’d be dead already. A Martial Lord is still a Martial Lord, no matter how powerful—how could one possibly match a Martial King? Even a peak Martial Lord couldn’t do it, let alone him." Just then, however, Dong Xue curled her lips, refuting Zhang Tianyi’s view.
Ever since the Martial Emblem Wonderland, she and Xia Yu had tried multiple times to get close to Chu Feng, only to be rebuffed. After realizing he wouldn’t be friendly with them anymore, they stopped trying to force it. But given their personalities, they naturally held a grudge. In truth, their reason for coming here wasn’t to find Chu Feng; it was actually to see if he was dead. In their hearts, they were eager for his demise.
But seeing this scene, they were not only disappointed but also shocked. Chu Feng was growing stronger, leaving them far behind. In their eyes, this was anything but good.
"Are you saying my Brother Chu Feng is inferior to a peak Martial Lord?" Dong Xue’s words immediately drew discontent. Zi Ling was the first to speak, questioning her.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Chu Feng is indeed formidable, but he only relies on special methods. Without the King Weapon and those special techniques, could he possibly defeat someone with a higher cultivation?" Dong Xue sneered. Although Zi Ling possessed a Heavenly Bestowed Body, her current cultivation was weak, so she wasn’t afraid.
"Shut up!" But just then, Qiu Shui Fu Yan suddenly shouted angrily. Although her rebuke was directed at everyone, her cold gaze was fixed on Dong Xue.
Meeting that look, Dong Xue trembled inwardly. Her usually proud face turned pale with fear, and she lowered her head, saying no more.
At that moment, Chu Feng suddenly stopped his frenzied attacks and stood suspended in midair, his eyes tightly closed.
Simultaneously, the void where Chu Feng stood began to vibrate faintly, then the tremor grew from weak to strong, becoming more and more violent. Cracks even began to appear in the air itself, crushed by an incredibly powerful aura that threatened to shatter the very sky.
Under this transformation, majestic martial power surged toward Chu Feng like a hurricane. Facing such immense power, even Qiu Shui Fu Yan’s eyes lit up. As a Martial King and a Golden-Robed Spirit World Master, she could sense the flow of that martial power and distinguish it as King-level force.
Condensing such a massive amount of martial power was something even she, a Martial King, could not achieve. Yet now, Chu Feng had done it.
In that instant, Qiu Shui Fu Yan stared intently at Chu Feng, unable to look away. A question burned in her mind: Could it really be true that Chu Feng had mastered a Forbidden Martial Art?
Thinking this, she could hardly believe it. Setting aside the sheer difficulty of cultivating a Forbidden Martial Art, just two months was simply impossible.
"Boom!"
But then, Chu Feng’s eyes snapped open. At the same time, an extremely piercing aura burst forth from his gaze, shooting toward the giant sea turtle.
"Uwaaarrrgh~~~~~~~~"
Seeing Chu Feng’s sharp look, the giant sea turtle’s blood-red eyes flickered. It let out a cowardly roar, its body erupting with a formidable aura as it spun rapidly, churning the waves, and attempted to flee.
"Ji ji ji ji……"
But it was too late. Before the giant sea turtle could escape, streams of blood-red gas exploded from Chu Feng’s body.
This gas was eerie, its form resembling both sharp blades and writhing serpents. Not only was it impossibly dense, but it also emitted wails and howls like ghosts crying from hell, sending chills down the spine.
Most importantly, when this blood-red gas appeared, the colors of heaven and earth changed. It contained terrifying power, and its speed was so swift that in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire area, trapping the giant sea turtle within.
And in that moment, Chu Feng’s lips moved as he spoke five words, enunciating each one: "Earth, Forbidden, Azure, Dark, Slash!!!"
"Boom!"
The words fell like a commander’s order. The eerie, terrifying gas, accompanied by ghostly wails, gathered with earth-shattering force toward the spot where Chu Feng’s gaze had fallen.
Finally, with a deafening "Crack!", a blinding slash manifested within the sea.
As the slash appeared, the aura of annihilation erupted, instantly devouring that stretch of ocean.
