Martial God Asura

Chapter 6260: The Divine Deer’s Gaze Changes

“Brother, did you succeed?” Wang Qiang asked.

“Mmhm. It’s not just a success; it surpassed my expectations,” Chu Feng said.

“T-t-then how does it compare to my secret skill?”

“It’s definitely not weaker than yours.”

“Are you f-f-for real? Let’s spar!”

“Forget it. I don’t want to ruin your pride.”

“Hahaha, I like your c-c-confidence.”

Wang Qiang was even happier than Chu Feng. He felt conscience-stricken accepting the secret skill as he thought it should have belonged to Chu Feng. Only now when he saw that Chu Feng had benefited from this fortuitous encounter too did he feel ease of mind.

“Brother, there’s some energy here that enhances our bloodline, but its effects are quite lackluster. I doubt that it’ll be of much help to us. There’s no need for you to stay here anymore. You should wait for me outside,” Chu Feng said.

“What are you doing, brother? T-t-take me with you. We agreed to b-b-brave through danger together,” Wang Qiang said.

“Some things should be shouldered alone. We shouldn’t put ourselves in danger just for the sake of it, right?”

“Your words make sense, b-b-but something sounds off.”

“Don’t worry, brother. Don’t forget that I have everything within my grasp. Nothing will happen to me,” Chu Feng twirled his palm as he spoke with a smirk.

“Haha, t-t-that’s true. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Wang Qiang returned to the first floor via the secret passageway.

Chu Feng looked at the ceiling. A secret passageway was hidden there. He had to open the passageway to get to the peak of the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. There, he would find what the Divine Deer wanted.

And the method to do so was the same as summoning the metal piece formations.

In truth, those who comprehended the nine-colored lightning sphere could easily navigate the tower, whereas those who failed wouldn’t even come close to this fortuitous encounter.

Chu Feng formed a hand seal and fused his bloodline power into the ceiling. A formation appeared on the ceiling, and it opened up to reveal an entrance. The entrance was so small that those who were too big wouldn’t be able to fit in.

With this gap, he could use his spirit power to scan the peak.

Boom!

Before Chu Feng could discern anything, a force gushed down from the entrance and suffused the tower. It was a powerful force that not only restricted Chu Feng’s movements but caused his bones to creak as well.

It was fortunate Wang Qiang had left, or else he would have to suffer together with Chu Feng.

Chu Feng took a moment to adapt to the force. He tried to scan the peak, only to find that his spirit power was unable to pass through the force. Thus, he leaped through the entrance and entered the highest floor of the Immemorial Bloodline Tower.

He found himself in a hall smaller than that of the 99th floor. His surroundings were painted white, so much so that it was difficult to make out where the walls were. It felt boundless and a little divine.

It was due to that that his eyes were drawn to the center, where a golden blade of grass floated at the center of the hall.

“Elder, is that it?” Chu Feng asked.

“Yes, but I didn’t expect it would be golden,” the Divine Deer replied.

“Is it formidable?”

“Yes, I have heard about the golden grass. To obtain it, you only have to touch it. However, it will unleash a powerful force to attack you, and the force becomes stronger the closer you are to it. You also mustn’t attempt to obtain it remotely, or else it will deem you unqualified, and you won’t be able to obtain it anymore,” the Divine Deer warned.

“Elder, it’s a relief you are here to remind me, or else I would have tried to obtain it remotely.” Chu Feng was alarmed. He had been observing the golden grass, and he didn’t find any signs that discouraged obtaining the golden grass remotely.

“Chu Feng, this item is placed here to be claimed, but it is beyond someone of your cultivation to handle. You can give it a try, but don’t force yourself if it’s too much. Don’t lose sight of what’s important over trivialities,” the Divine Deer reminded.

“Don’t worry, elder. I’ll be prudent.”

The first thing Chu Feng did was to construct a teleportation formation linked to the 99th floor. This way, he could return to the 99th floor if he reached his limit.

Weng!

But as soon as the teleportation formation was completed, the golden grass suddenly unleashed a brilliant light, as if it had read his mind. The light harnessed overwhelming destructive prowess, and it burned through Chu Feng’s skin, flesh, and bones. Even his soul was put under tremendous pressure.

“What’s wrong, Chu Feng?” Eggy and the Divine Deer asked.

They had just witnessed the instantaneous destruction of Chu Feng’s body, leaving behind just his soul.

“I’m fine,” Chu Feng replied.

“Are you sure? You lost your body!” Eggy didn’t believe him.

“Don’t force yourself, Chu Feng,” the Divine Deer advised.

“I feel some pressure, but my skin is anything but thick. If this is a test of willpower, I can only say that the golden grass is prepared just for me.” Chu Feng was in so much pain that his words didn’t come out as smoothly as they usually did, but a tenacious smile remained on his face.

He took a moment to adapt before making his way toward the golden grass.

Every step he took would cause the golden grass to emanate a brighter light, heaping even greater pressure on him.

Chu Feng had lied.

His body was far stronger than his peers, yet it was decimated by the first attack. This showed just how powerful the golden grass’ attack was. Most people’s souls would have dissipated with the attack; he had only survived due to his superior resilience.

His soul was already under tremendous strain, but the attack was continuous, and it only intensified the closer he got to the golden grass. It was as if he was inside a furnace filled with flames. Unless he left the furnace, he wouldn’t be able to avoid the heat.

Even Wang Qiang and Little Fishy wouldn’t have been able to withstand this.

It was indeed no easy feat to get the golden grass.

Chu Feng wasn’t confident in overcoming this trial, and he was ready to give up if needed. However, he was determined to hold on for as long as possible till he was at his limit.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and continued advancing.

“Chu Feng, does your teleportation formation still work?” Eggy asked.

She could tell from his ragged breathing that he wasn’t in a good condition. She knew that he was determined to give it a try and wouldn’t listen to her advice, so the least she could do was to ensure that he had a way out.

“It’s still working. I can leave anytime I want if I reach my limit,” Chu Feng replied.

He tried his best to feign normalcy, but Eggy could tell that he was severely weakened. She felt a pinch in her heart, but she didn’t persuade her to give up. Instead, she rooted for him, saying, “You can do it.”

Every step Chu Feng took was a challenge. It was a short distance, yet it felt like they were worlds apart. It reached a point where his consciousness began turning hazy, but he persisted.

Finally, Chu Feng reached the golden grass and grabbed it.

As soon as he touched the golden grass, the terrifying light vanished.

Chu Feng collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

A white light seeped out of his body and morphed into a figure. It was a beautiful woman wearing a green dress. She was so beautiful that few aside from Eggy and Little Fishy could match her appearance.

She was the Divine Deer.

She knew about this golden grass, which was why she understood how difficult it had been for Chu Feng to obtain it. The hardships he endured for her sake moved her. Not only were his face and lips pale, but even his soul was filled with cracks.

The Divine Deer couldn’t imagine the sheer willpower it had taken Chu Feng to go this far.

“No wonder your companions trust you so much. You are indeed worthy of their trust.”

The Divine Deer’s eyes had long become placid after having witnessed the vicissitudes of life, yet they flickered when looking at Chu Feng now.

She had only thought that he was a reliable person when she saw how he put his life on the line for his friends, but now that he was doing it for her, it somehow shook her to the core.

She couldn’t help but look at Chu Feng with shaken eyes.
