Chapter 6547: My Current Cultivation

“Those useless things.”

Anger flickered across Baili Xukong’s eyes as he released a wisp of martial power flame from his palm, torching the map into ashes. Clearly, the Netherworld Sectmembers had failed in their investigation of the Undying Starfield.

Boom!

More nine-colored lightning appeared around the Undying Starfield.

“What’s going on? Is he making another breakthrough?”

“Consecutive breakthroughs?”

“Just how big a fortuitous encounter did that fellow find?”

“How is he able to make breakthroughs as easily as drinking water?”

The previous lightning clouds hadn’t even dissipated when stronger nine-colored lightning manifested. The crowd felt conflicted and indignant.

The person they wanted to capture was cultivating right under their watch, but they were unable to do anything about him. This made them feel incredibly stifled.

Jie Tianran’s eyes hardened with determination. He stopped channeling his control formation and instead pulled out two black talisman papers, a blank paper, and a brush from his Cosmos Sack. These items were all extraordinary treasures.

He moved the brush, and an immense amount of spirit power flowed out.

The Netherworld Sect members sensed the flow of energy at Jie Tianran’s side and turned their eyes there. Both the paper and the brush were world spiritist treasures they had never seen before, but they were more drawn to the two black talisman papers.

Jie Tianran drew a nine-colored lightning bolt on the paper before plastering a black talisman paper on it. He formed a hand seal, and the nine-colored lightning bolt floated out from the paper and fused into the black talisman paper.

Nine-colored lightning crackled around the black talisman paper.

“Mansion Master, what are you doing?” Baili Xukong asked in confusion.

Their priority should have been to channel the control formation and remove Chu Feng’s suppression formation from the sacred item. Yet, Jie Tianran was focused on constructing a new formation right now. This left Baili Xukong and the others confused.

Jie Tianran held the other black talisman paper in between his fingers and formed a hand seal. Then, he flung his sleeves, and the black talisman paper transformed into a massive formation core that floated toward Baili Xukong and the others.

Then, he tossed the black talisman paper infused with nine-colored lightning out. It swiftly fused into the nine-colored lightning induced by Chu Feng’s breakthrough.

“Mansion Master, are you planning to use the lightning tribulation against Chu Feng?” Baili Xukong could roughly guess Jie Tianran’s intention now.

“Yes, this formation allows me to greatly amplify the prowess of the lightning tribulation, but it can only be channeled by cultivators. So, I’ll require your help,” Jie Tianran finally revealed his intention.

“Is it reliable?” Cang Li asked.

The Netherworld Sectmembers present had noticed the peculiar nature of the black talisman paper.

“I won’t do anything that harms you. Chu Feng is too arrogant, using your Netherworld Sect’s sacred item to suppress you. But he let his conceit get to his head and made a breakthrough here. It just so happens that I wield the means to tamper with his lightning tribulation. Don’t you want to give him a taste of his medicine?” Jie Tianran asked.

“Are you sure it’ll work?” an elder from the neutral faction asked.

“As long as you assist me, I’ll be able to tamper with his lightning tribulation. Even if I fail to outright kill him, I can at least render his breakthrough a failure and ruin his Heavenly Lightning Bloodline. That will spell the end of his cultivation journey,” Jie Tianran said.

“All right. Chu Feng had the gall to mess with our Netherworld Sect and make consecutive breakthroughs in our presence. He ought to pay the price for his arrogance,” the elder from the neutral faction said as he stepped into the formation core.

Cang Li, Baili Xukong, and the others did the same as well.

Any doubts they harbored about the formation vanished the moment they stepped into the formation core. They could sense the lightning tribulation’s power, Jie Tianran’s power, and the formation’s power.

Indeed, the power imbued in the formation far exceeded what someone of Chu Feng’s cultivation could bear. Even rank five Heavenly Gods like them wouldn’t have been able to withstand it if this formation power was compounded with the lightning tribulation’s power.

In their opinion, Jie Tianran was playing it too safe. There was no way Chu Feng could survive this ordeal.

So, the Netherworld Sectmembers put down their wariness and channeled the formation core.

Meanwhile, in the underground palace, Chu Feng had been waiting with closed eyes for the lightning tribulation to descend, but he suddenly felt a bout of unease and raised his head to look at the sky.

“What’s wrong, Chu Feng?” Eggy asked.

Chu Feng usually remained focused while waiting for the lightning tribulation to descend. His attention wouldn’t be wandering like that.

“Something is amiss about the lightning tribulation,” Chu Feng said.

“How so?” Eggy asked.

“I’m not sure, either.”

Boom!

The nine-colored lightning descended.

“Forget it.”

Chu Feng formed a hand seal, closed his eyes, and prepared himself to withstand the descending lightning tribulation. What he didn’t know was that this lightning tribulation carried the consciousness of top Netherworld Sect’s experts as well.

“Die, Chu Feng!” Baili Xukong’s consciousness descended with the lightning tribulation, and he saw Chu Feng and where he was.

But when the lightning tribulation struck Chu Feng, his consciousness was pulled into a vast, pitch-black space.

“What is this place? Is it Chu Feng’s dantian world? No, this doesn’t look like a dantian world.” Baili Xukong frowned.

GRARRR!

A deafening roar that shook space echoed from the distance.

Before Baili Xukong could even see the enemy, his martial power had already begun gushing out from his body. A suction force was siphoning away his martial power!

“What is this?!”

Sensing something amiss, Baili Xukong hurriedly severed his connection with the formation. While his consciousness returned to his body, the abrupt severance with the formation resulted in a severe backlash, and he spurted blood.

But that was nothing compared to the state he was in. His body felt powerless as if he had sustained severe injuries, and his blood flow was in disarray. Worst of all, he had lost a lot of the martial power he had been accumulating.

“Jie Tianran, you dare to fool me?” Cang Li roared.

Baili Xukong realized that the others who had entered the formation core had pale faces, and blood was seeping from the corners of their lips. They were in such a weakened state that they couldn’t even maintain an upright sitting posture.

Their faces betrayed their panic, and it looked as if they had just experienced something terrifying. Clearly, they must have encountered the same entity.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng withstood the nine-colored lightning and opened his eyes, but his pupils soon widened in shock.

“How bizarre,” Chu Feng remarked.

“What’s wrong? Did you sustain injuries? Or was it a failure?” Eggy was worried.

“The breakthrough was a success.”

“You bastard, Chu Feng. Why are you acting as if something has gone wrong when your breakthrough was a success? Are you playing with me?” Eggy rolled her eyes.

“The resources from the Great Monster Slayer Emperor should have only been enough for me to reach rank eight True God level,” Chu Feng said.

“You did go through two lightning tribulations, so you should be at rank eight True God level? Are you able to make another breakthrough?”

“I can’t make another breakthrough... but for some reason, I have already reached rank nine True God level,” Chu Feng replied.

“What?” Eggy’s mouth opened agape.
