Chapter 6426: The Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor

“Audacious!”

Many swords were immediately pointed at Song Yun, but she stood brazen and fearless, her eyes gleaming with coldness.

“Stop!” the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master roared with visible displeasure.

The members of the Heavensword Sacred Palace hurriedly sheathed their swords.

“It’s normal for youngsters to bicker. It’s an argument, not a fight. Don’t you think it’s too much for the elders to get involved?” The Palace Master glared at the elders.

The members of the Heavensword Sacred Palace didn’t reply, but they lowered their heads out of deference for the Palace Master.

“Wang Qiang, Song Yun, we’re all friends. You shouldn’t say such words,” Chu Feng berated Wang Qiang and Song Yun.

Wang Qiang smiled without saying a word.

Song Yun remarked, “It was a joke. I’m sure that miss doesn’t mind.”

“Are we close enough for you to joke with me? I don’t like it when others joke about me,” Tianjian Canhua scoffed coldly.

Song Yun replied, “How unfortunate. I happen to like to joke around.”

Sensing the atmosphere going awry, Chu Feng quickly interjected, “Miss Canhua, I have observed the legacy here, and it’s possible for us to awaken it together. Do you want to come with me?”

“I’d like to give it a try.” Tianjian Canhua was much more polite when speaking to Chu Feng.

“Let’s go then.”

Chu Feng made his way toward the swordlike tombstone.

Tianjian Canhua followed him, though she trailed at a distance behind. She was already intending to give up on the legacy, but after entering the realm, the circumstances didn’t feel as dire, so she thought of giving it a try.

That said, she was still not confident about it.

She could tell that the trial would be triggered once one was within a certain radius of the tombstone. She wasn’t sure how the trial would be like, so she decided to keep a distance and let Chu Feng test the water first.

Weng!

As Chu Feng approached the tombstone, runes resembling lightning bolts began appearing on the tombstone’s surface. He immediately halted his footsteps, formed a hand seal, and closed his eyes to prepare for the trial.

“Hoh. T-t-this final tombstone is indeed not the same as the ones before,” Wang Qiang said.

Even the airs emanated by the final star was already far stronger than the previous stars.

Tianjian Canhua paid close heed to Chu Feng’s expression. It was only after seeing the calm look on his face did she dare approach.

But as soon as she arrived beside Chu Feng, her face warped in horror. Energy swiftly gushed into her body, making her feel like her head and soul were going to burst. She was forced to turn around right away and retreat.

“Chu Feng, you’re more compatible with the legacy. I shan’t compete with you.”

Tianjian Canhua headed back to where the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s members were gathered.

“Canhua, this legacy looks extraordinary. How can you give up just like that?” an elder asked.

The Palace Master placed her fingers on Tianjian Canhua’s pulse. The latter’s pulse was extremely unstable. Tianjian Canhua only appeared unfazed because of her remarkable self-control; anyone else in her place would be bleeding from their seven apertures by now.

“Is Chu Feng that formidable?”

The Palace Master took another look at Chu Feng, who appeared completely unfazed, and sighed.

Tianjian Canhua was the most outstanding prodigy in their lineage, yet she paled far in comparison to Chu Feng. This humongous gap sent shivers down her spine. Just what kind of monster was Chu Feng?

“The legacy might just be suited to him,” Tianjian Canhua replied, refusing to admit defeat.

“It could be the same situation as the sixth star. He could be the chosen successor of this legacy, just that it wasn’t made obvious,” the Palace Master replied.

She was inclined to believe Tianjian Canhua, since she didn’t think it could be possible for there to be such a huge gap between top-tier prodigies. It would make sense if the legacy had chosen Chu Feng and was rejecting anyone else who came close.

“Are you all right?” Song Yun asked Tianjian Canhua with a provocative smile. It was as if she had seen through Tianjian Canhua’s deception.

Tianjian Canhua ignored her. That only made Song Yun’s smile widen.

That irked Tianjian Canhua. She turned to the Palace Master and discreetly asked, “Palace Master, why do we have to cooperate with scums from the Netherworld Sect?”

“She is Chu Feng’s friend. We should show her some courtesy here. But that won’t matter once we’re out of here,” the Palace Master replied.

Tianjian Canhua’s complexion finally alleviated.

In gist, the Palace Master was saying that she was free to deal with Song Yun, Wang Qiang, and anyone else once they parted ways with Chu Feng.

Meanwhile, lightning began manifesting around Chu Feng as well.

Boom!

Flames suddenly ignited around Chu Feng and the tombstone. The flames and the lightning interweaved, forming a sight similar to that outside the tombstone realm.

The tombstone emitted a peerless aura reminiscent of a true sword. The little stones in the clearing that could enhance one’s bloodline power glowed with peculiar lights. Suddenly, the clearing resembled a holy land.

Words appeared on the tombstone—Tombstone of the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor!

Whoosh!

Metallic clangs could suddenly be heard from the surrounding fog.

Thick chains shot out from the fog and sealed off the clearing like a bird cage. Red runes surfaced on the chains, causing the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor’s tombstone and the clearing to dim.

The chains had sealed the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor’s legacy!

Whoosh!

One of the chains shattered, creating an opening in the cage.

Before the crowd could make sense of the situation, a hoarse voice echoed from the direction of the opening, “Are you trying to release the Seven Stars Orbs? You aren’t qualified!”
