Chapter 6446: Chu Feng’s Hidden Card

With a single move, Chu Feng massacred almost everyone in that Heavensword Sacred Palace’s line.

The only survivor was the Palace Master, and her eyes were completely widened in horror. Witnessing Chu Feng rip the bodies and souls of their line’s future rendered her incapable of words. Extreme sorrow and despair gripped her. She quietly lowered her head.

“I have let you down, my ancestors,” she weakly murmured before her soul dissipated.

The crowd outside, be it out of shock or fright, fell silent. They stood in a daze as if petrified, staring intently at the tombstone realm.

As the nine-colored lightning dissipated, lightning and flames began shrouding the tombstone realm once more, blocking the crowd’s view.

Yet, the crowd couldn’t snap out of their daze. Their minds replayed the moment of Chu Feng obliterating those deity-like, light figures. Fear seeped into their very beings, regardless of how they had treated Chu Feng before.

This included Jie Tian’s father, Jie Mubai.

Jie Mubai had been secretly watching the spectacle not too far away, and the proximity and his relatively high cultivation granted him a deeper insight into the intricacies of that battle. For that reason, he was more shocked than anyone else.

He was a powerful Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist himself, but he felt like a mortal witnessing a fight between deities. It was a fight completely beyond him.

“Chu Feng is this powerful?!” Jie Mubai was conflicted. He felt both fearful and relieved.

Many times, he had wanted to make a move on Chu Feng, but the latter always slipped past his fingers with the help of others. Only now did he realize that it was not Chu Feng’s allies that he ought to fear, but Chu Feng himself.

There was not a single person he knew who could withstand Chu Feng’s earlier rampage.

“Chu Feng, I doubt you can survive after your bloodline has rampaged to this extent. I can’t let your treasures fall into someone else’s lap.”

Jie Mubai had heard about bloodline rampage and was fortunate to have witnessed it once.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had once encircled a prodigy, who, in a fit of desperation, went into bloodline rampage. That prodigy suddenly attained tremendous power and proceeded to kill many of their members.

That prodigy’s performance was nothing compared to Chu Feng’s, but ultimately, he failed to withstand the backlash of his bloodline rampage. His bloodline devoured his soul, and he died.

Based on that precedent, Chu Feng’s death felt inevitable.

There was no need to fear someone who was already on death’s door. Thinking about Chu Feng’s treasures stoked Jie Mubai’s greed. Thus, he mustered his courage to conceal himself and slip into the tombstone realm.

He first used his observation means to identify Chu Feng’s location.

What he saw shook him.

The nine-colored lightning had receded, signaling the conclusion of the bloodline rampage, but Chu Feng stood unfazed. He was even collecting the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s energies.

“How is he unaffected despite his bloodline having rampaged to that extent? What kind of monster is he?! No, this is impossible. It has to be a treasure protecting him, right? Could it be the Genesis Bloodline? Or is it something else? That brat is hiding so many secrets!”

Despite being shaken up, Jie Mubai still did his best to rationalize the situation.

“How are you feeling, Chu Feng? Say something!” Eggy nervously asked Chu Feng about his condition.

Chu Feng had begun cleaning up the scene after the nine-colored lightning receded, but he hadn’t responded to Eggy’s questions.

It was because he didn’t know how bad the backlash would be, so he thought he should quickly collect the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s origin energies and the Spirit God Clan’s powers. His priority was the Spirit God Clan’s powers, as that was the only thing that could save them.

It was only after confirming he was truly fine that Chu Feng replied, “I’m fine, Eggy.”

The Heavensword Sacred Palace’s members had already assimilated the Spirit God Clan’s powers, so he had to construct a formation to reverse the fusion. In his view, the Heavensword Bloodline brought nothing but impurities to the Spirit God Clan’s powers.

He had to first remove the impurities before returning the Spirit God Clan’s powers to them. Otherwise, he would only be harming them.

“Are you sure you’re fine? You just went on a huge bloodline rampage,” Eggy asked.

“I did, but I’m fine. It’s because of the Bloodline Soul Puppet[1],” Chu Feng replied.

Chu Feng proceeded to explain what happened.

The Bloodline Soul Puppet nourished a cultivator’s bloodline, but its greatest use was to serve as a scapegoat from backlash.

After Chu Feng obtained that mysterious metal piece from God’s Era, he had been cultivating the method on it to tap into the power of bloodline rampage.

While bloodline rampage was a powerful hidden card in times of desperation, it came with severe side effects. Putting aside the backlash, he also risked being consumed by his bloodline and losing his senses.

That would turn him into a slaughter machine until his soul and his body were finally depleted.

The more times one underwent bloodline rampage, the greater the risk became.

The mysterious metal piece detailed a method to control their bloodline rampage and not be devoured by their bloodline. It allowed one to retain their senses, but it couldn’t neutralize the backlash. When the bloodline rampage ended, one still had to face the backlash of wielding powers beyond their means.

Death awaited those too weak to withstand the backlash.

From the moment Chu Feng obtained Bloodline Soul Puppet and realized what it was capable of, he knew right away it was the perfect skill for him.

Bloodline Soul Puppet could be impeccably fused into his bloodline, becoming yet another part of him. He could first direct the backlash to Bloodline Soul Puppet, and as long as it was sturdy enough to withstand the backlash, he wouldn’t sustain any damage at all.
