"That soul body is the Demon Slayer Emperor."
"What Chu Feng holds is the Demon Slayer Sword."
"Could it be that this Chu Feng has obtained the Demon Slayer Emperor's inheritance?"
The moment those words were spoken, the crowd surrounding Chu Feng instinctively took a step back.
The powerhouses encircling Chu Feng numbered over seven hundred God-level cultivators from the Prison Sect, along with fifty-nine Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Masters from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
Although their cultivation was not as powerful as Jie Tianran and Baili Xu Kong, in truth, many of them had lived for over ten thousand years — some even tens of thousands.
Among them, there was no shortage of well-informed individuals who enjoyed studying history.
Some recognized the Demon Slayer Emperor and the Demon Slayer Sword.
The soul body of the Demon Slayer Emperor standing behind Chu Feng in particular made them realize that the current Chu Feng would not be easy to deal with.
They might very well be in danger.
But there were always those who feared no death.
"It doesn't matter what inheritance he obtained — defiling a sacred artifact is an unforgivable sin. Kill him!"
With an enraged roar, a member of the Prison Sect struck first.
The moment he made his move, several others from the Prison Sect immediately followed suit.
In an instant, streams of massive martial power transformed into various forms of sword qi, light blades, and martial techniques.
From every direction, they surged toward Chu Feng.
The very first move was a killing strike, leaving no room for mercy — their sole purpose was to end Chu Feng's life.
"If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you lack the ability."
Chu Feng gripped the Demon Slayer Sword tightly with both hands, then swept it forward in a violent arc.
Several arcs of martial power sliced through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the void above erupted with thunderous tremors and violent ripples.
Every last attack from the God-level cultivators was completely blocked.
"First-tier God level!!!"
"He's stepped into the first-tier God realm?"
Sensing Chu Feng's combat power, everyone stopped attacking. Their first reaction was shock and confusion.
"That isn't his own cultivation — it's the combat power granted by the sword in his hand, temporarily lent to him for use."
At that moment, Baili Xu Kong's voice carried over, offering the crowd a hint.
"So he's borrowing the power of a treasure."
Upon hearing this, everyone came to a sudden realization and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if he weren't borrowing the treasure's power and it was his own cultivation — so what?"
"He's only a first-tier God. With this many of us, should we really fear him?"
"Kill him!"
With that, the crowd of Prison Sect powerhouses launched their attacks once more.
Especially after they noticed that the Demon Slayer Emperor's soul body behind Chu Feng wasn't helping him at all — it simply remained with its eyes shut, looking all the more like a mere decoration.
They grew increasingly emboldened, and more and more people began attacking Chu Feng.
Even the Spirit World Masters from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace began setting up killing formations to launch assaults against him.
Facing the combined siege of Gods and Heavenly Dragons, anyone else would have crumbled long ago.
But with the Demon Slayer Sword in hand, Chu Feng felt no fear.
He had discovered that the Demon Slayer Sword was rather special.
Although the combat power it granted him was not particularly overwhelming, if Chu Feng refrained from using martial techniques and relied solely on the Demon Slayer Sword to attack, the sword's combat power would become even stronger. The Demon Slayer Sword alone was enough to handle the martial techniques of numerous God-level powerhouses and the formations of the Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Masters.
However, Chu Feng also noticed a drawback — he could not use Divine Movement.
"Senior, why can't I use Divine Movement?" Chu Feng asked the Divine Deer.
In fact, for many abilities, he could tell just by sensing whether or not they could be used, without actually having to attempt them.
Martial techniques, secret techniques — all of them could be used. Even abilities like the Nightmare of Guarding and the Plunder of Darkness were accessible.
But Divine Movement and Divine Evasion — those he could not use.
"Divine arts are different from other techniques."
"Divine arts originate from this deity. This deity has acknowledged you, but it has not acknowledged that Demon Slayer Sword."
"The cultivation you are currently borrowing belongs to the Demon Slayer Sword, so naturally you cannot use this deity's divine arts."
The Divine Deer provided its explanation.
"So that's how it is — that does make things a bit troublesome."
The reason Chu Feng thought so was because he could both channel and sever the power of the Demon Slayer Sword at will.
