The heaven-splitting slash erupted, as if nothing could halt its destructive power. The blood-red energy ripples spread to their utmost limit, resembling a colossal pool of blood or a gaping, blood-stained maw, swallowing everything within amid the wailing, ghost-like roars.
That stretch of sea had turned into hell itself.
"Gulp."
Everyone present stared in shock at the bizarre and terrifying blood-red ripples. Xia Yu and Dong Xue were so frightened their faces turned pale, and they couldn't help but swallow hard.
They had never seen a martial art this terrifying. Both its presence and its power were utterly horrifying. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a fearsome slash could be unleashed by Chu Feng, a Martial Lord.
In fact, even the well-traveled Qiushui Fuyan couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air at this moment. With a tone of immense shock, she said, "He actually succeeded. In a mere two months, he mastered the legendary Earth-restricted Martial Art."
"Senior Qiushui, are you saying what Chu Feng just used was an Earth-restricted Martial Art?" Hearing Qiushui Fuyan's words, Xia Yu and Dong Xue were so surprised their mouths fell open.
Actually, on the Piaomiao Immortal Peak, there was a Human-restricted Martial Art, but it was so difficult that they still hadn't managed to master it yet.
And the Earth-restricted Martial Art was the stuff of legends. It was said that its cultivation difficulty was dozens of times greater than that of the Human-restricted Martial Art.
They could barely grasp the Human-restricted Martial Art, yet Chu Feng had mastered the Earth-restricted one? How could they not be shocked?
"Have you ever seen a martial art with such power?" Qiushui Fuyan didn't answer directly, but her rhetorical question already gave Xia Yu and Dong Xue their answer.
"Are you two deaf? Didn't you hear what my junior brother Chu Feng said just now? Before unleashing that slash, he clearly shouted 'Earth-restricted Abyssal Slash'. Could he be wrong about that?" Zhang Tianyi said coldly, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He had long found Xia Yu and Dong Xue unpleasant.
At this moment, Xia Yu and Dong Xue were left speechless. At this point, they had no choice but to accept the fact that Chu Feng had mastered an Earth-restricted Martial Art in just two months.
However, this fact was simply too shocking. If word got out, it would undoubtedly cause another massive uproar.
"Roar~~~~~~~~"
But just then, another furious roar came from within the violent blood-red ripples. Although the sound was much weaker, it was undoubtedly the sea beast giant turtle. That creature was actually not dead.
"Hum"
Sure enough, as the blood-red ripples gradually dissipated, people could see the sea beast giant turtle gradually re-emerge. That colossal creature truly was not dead.
Although it wasn't dead, several cracks had appeared on its previously impenetrable shell. Blood was now continuously gushing out from these cracks, staining the surrounding seawater crimson. The sea beast giant turtle was not dead, but it was severely injured.
"Ugh!" Suddenly, Chu Feng, high in the sky, coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body began to sway, nearly plummeting from the heights.
"Chu Feng." At this moment, Qiushui Fuyan reacted first. She leaped up and arrived beside Chu Feng, catching him and holding him up.
As Qiushui Fuyan supported him, the thunder armor on Chu Feng's body and the wings formed by the black aura began to dissipate. Under this transformation, not only did Chu Feng's aura revert to that of a Fifth-rank Martial Lord, but it was also several times weaker than before.
