Chapter 6457: Chu Feng’s Father

Chapter 6457: Chu Feng’s Father

It was a roar transcending all beings. It echoed loudly throughout the entire world of cultivation.

Jie Tianran, who had been cultivating in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, opened his eyes. He looked uneasy.

“This voice?”

That roar had evoked his memory. He had heard a similar roar when Chu Feng invoked the protective formation that Chu Xuanyuan had left in him in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith.

Back then, most people thought an Ancient Era’s expert had awakened.

But this time, Jie Tianran heard it loud and clear. It gave off the same feeling as it did back then, suggesting that it was from the same entity.

“The Immemorial Cemetery? It isn’t a cultivator. Is it a monstrous beast?” Jie Tianran murmured.

That voice had come from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy back then, but now, it was coming from the Immemorial Cemetery. But both roars should have been from the same entity.

“This won’t be easy,” the voice inside Jie Tianran’s body said.

“Did I underestimate the Immemorial Cemetery?” Jie Tianran was unnerved.

“You need to make haste,” the voice reminded.

“All right. I’ll stop cultivating for the time being.”

Jie Tianran stood up, formed a hand seal, and released an aura that enveloped the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Upon sensing the aura, everyone from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s upper echelons, including the Saint-tier elders, rushed to assemble.

That was the Mansion Master’s summon, a tool that was only used when major events happened.

...

The crowd in the Immemorial Cemetery was also alarmed, and they looked toward the depths of the Immemorial Cemetery.

“Was that roar related to the Immemorial Cemetery?”

The joy on the faces of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief and the others vanished, replaced by endless horror.

“Quick, we need to leave this place!”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief and the others brought their clansmen out of the Immemorial Cemetery. They sensed that the person who had just roared would take their lives despite the unraveling of the tribute formation.

In fact, the person who had just roared might even be more dangerous than the tribute formation.

...

Such horror swept across the world of cultivation.

That roar had only left them intrigued back then, but this time, it induced terror in them. The powers of the eight galaxies couldn’t tell if this entity was friendly or hostile, but the unknown usually spelled danger.

Naturally, the Ancestral Martial Galaxy’s Hidden Dragon Martial Sect was affected as well.

Deep in the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, there was a formation realm filled with a dragon’s silhouette. It was the mastermind behind the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, Lord Long Xie.

Long Xie seemed to see what was happening inside the Immemorial Cemetery, and that allowed him to maintain his composure. Instead, he chuckled, “I see. Chu Feng’s father has hidden a hand here.”

...

Deep in the Immemorial Cemetery, the colossal being whose size spanned a realm and harnessed the power to easily destroy entire starfields revealed a look of fear. Its thick legs shivered, and the tentacles behind it wailed miserably.

It was like a puppy standing before an adult tiger. Fear arose from its very soul. It was bloodline suppression.

Bzt!

The lightning beast unleashed a bolt of lightning.

This single bolt of lightning morphed into a humongous lightning cage that trapped the colossal being in place. The colossal being tried to flee, only to realize there was nowhere to escape.

The lightning beast transformed into a surge of lightning before re-converging inside the cage, but this time, it took the form of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man’s appearance could be clearly seen even though his body was manifested from lightning.

He had his back against the colossal being, his eyes gazing into the depths of the Immemorial Cemetery.

But the colossal being still dared not make a move against this insignificant human. On the contrary, its breathing hastened. It knew this middle-aged man was the true body of the lightning beast.

“Milord, I...” the colossal being carefully spoke up, hoping to resolve this situation diplomatically.

Bzt!

Before it could finish its words, the lightning cage suddenly unleashed powerful lightning that burned the colossal being into ashes in an instant. The colossal being was vanquished before it could even let out a yelp.

Tianjian Qingyuan’s eyes widened in shock.

Having fought the colossal being, she knew how sturdy its scales were. It was not an easy opponent to defeat. Yet, the middle-aged man defeated it with ease!

There was a vast gap in their strengths.

What the middle-aged man did next left Tianjian Qingyuan with goosebumps.

He took a step forward and appeared right above Tianjian Qingyuan and Song Changsheng.

Tianjian Qingyuan was so nervous that she couldn’t speak. As a prodigy of the Heavensword Sacred Palace in the Ancient Era, she had met many powerful experts. This middle-aged man’s aura was something she had only felt from top experts in the Ancient Era.

Song Changsheng was surprised as well, but there was a smile hanging on his lips.

“You couldn’t put down your son in the end,” Song Changsheng remarked.

He could tell at a glance who the middle-aged man was. That was a face he would never forget in his lifetime.

Chu Xuanyuan.

“He’s Chu Feng’s father?” Tianjian Qingyuan could guess based on Song Changsheng’s words.

Chu Xuanyuan glanced over, his eyes falling on Song Changsheng’s axe. “Woodcutter, you haven’t fixed your axe yet?”

Song Changsheng was irked. Chu Xuanyuan should have known better than anyone how his axe cracked. Song Changsheng grumbled, “It isn’t that easy.”

“Come to the Immemorial Domain of Gods. I’ll give you a better one,” Chu Xuanyuan replied.

“There’s no need for that.” Song Changsheng turned down the request. “You have grown a lot. I’m not a match for you anymore.”

“You also weren’t a match for me before I left,” Chu Xuanyuan pointed out.

Song Changsheng was so angry that he could pop a vein.

Chu Xuanyuan laughed. “My time is limited. Let’s catch up another day.”

He looked into the depths of the Immemorial Cemetery. He clenched his right fist, and the lightning cage dissipated into sparks that re-converged in his grasp, transforming into a lightning sword. And then he swung the lightning sword.

Boom!

Space was divided into two. There was a huge spatial rift containing a formation realm hidden in the fabric of space.

Song Changsheng and Tianjian Qingyuan were startled. Neither had known a formation realm was hidden there.

Weng!

A golden light shone from the spatial rift. A figure emerged.

“The later generations are getting increasingly scary.”

It was a man’s voice. It didn’t sound old, but it clearly didn’t belong to this era. It was the man who had proclaimed himself as emperor to Jie Mubai.

“You must be the mastermind here. I don’t know what you’re after, but this is enough. Let’s not disrupt this world’s balance,” Chu Xuanyuan said.

“Balance? Are you responsible for maintaining balance in the world of cultivation?” the man who proclaimed himself an emperor asked.

“I might not have the means to maintain balance in the entire world of cultivation, but I don’t intend to let the likes of you wreak havoc in these eight galaxies.”

“I’m surprised your clone is linked to your main body, but it doesn’t change the fact that your main body is trapped inside the Ninth Galaxy. The people of the Ninth Galaxy can’t return here. You don’t have the means to stop me.”

All the stars extending to the horizon suddenly emanated golden lights. The man who proclaimed himself an emperor influenced surrounding planets through his will, a testament of his overwhelming strength.

But Chu Xuanyuan was unfazed. “Why don’t you give it a try?”
