Martial God Asura

The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster didn’t hurt Wang Qiang even though he was holding the latter in place. 

Wang Qiang glared at the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster, but the latter ignored him and instead looked at Chu Feng. 

“Young friend Chu Feng, I’m not contented with being beneath Jie Tianran. I want to be the ruler of the world of cultivation. I have to admit that there’s a huge gap between me and Jie Tianran, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have a chance.

“I once entered God’s Era before it opened. I didn’t obtain anything from it, but I felt its power. That was a power that could shake up the balance of power in the world of cultivation. I believe the guidance is reliable, and that only a junior can obtain the power.

“There are no juniors in the present world of cultivation who can outmatch you, young friend Chu Feng. If you ask me, the power inside God’s Era belongs to you. I believe that your help is essential in toppling Jie Tianran, but this matter requires careful planning. 

“Other than that, I have a matter right now that I need your help with,” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster said with a smile.

“What is it?”

“The Totem Dragon Clan rose to its current position because they obtained an unparalleled treasure in their founding years—a true dragon’s remains. It is just a carcass, but it harnesses incredible power. Why else do you think the Totem Dragon Clan is the only one to rise to such heights even though there are so many dragon descendants around? 

“The true dragon’s remains are hidden in this realm. 

“Long Lin had promised to give it to me for my cultivation, but he later cozied up to Jie Tianran and used the latter to stop me from obtaining the ancestral dragon’s remains. That bastard. I am the one who propped him up to his current position! Is he dreaming of becoming the real Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief?

“I would have given him my full support if he wanted to become the true Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief, but he turned his back on me. There’s nothing in this world I hate more than traitors. 

“It’s just that the ancestral dragon’s remains are protected by a bloodline formation, making it nigh impossible to obtain them without the aid of a powerful Totem Dragon Clansman. So, I still can’t kill Long Lin for the time being. I need him to cooperate with him. 

“Long Lin is a cunning man, and there’s a chance he could play tricks. But he has a fatal weakness. You should know what that weakness is, given that you know about this place and his relationship with Long Xue. Who knows what kind of poison Long Xue fed Long Lin, for him to remain infatuated with her even though she has become this ugly? 

“Anyway, that’s the reason I’m here to capture Long Xue. Long Lin has no choice but to follow my bidding as long as she’s in my grasp. 

“I heard rumors that the bloodline formation won’t be easy to deal with, so I made additional preparations. But those fellows under me are a bunch of good-for-nothings. I have given them plenty of time, but they weren’t able to produce the results I wanted. 

“I didn’t expect to bump into young friend Chu Feng here. This might be fate at work. Young friend Chu Feng, it takes someone with extraordinary means to breach the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant despite it being heavily guarded by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Are you willing to help me take a look?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked.

“Will you let us leave if I refuse?” Chu Feng asked.

“Young friend Chu Feng, I need your help,” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster said.

“I see… I’ll take a look at your formation. I’ll help if it’s within my means, but I hope you can understand if it’s beyond my means too. I have three requests if I’m able to help you.”

“Feel free to speak your mind.”

“First, I want you to promise that you won’t hurt Elder Long Xue. Second, I have never seen a true dragon’s remnants before, so I want to see it in person. Third, you must let us go once this matter is over. 

“I’ll consider working with you to deal with Jie Tianran, but you should also show sincerity from your side. I’ll decide by myself whether we should continue to work together; I won’t be coerced by you holding my friend hostage,” Chu Feng said.

“Young friend Chu Feng, I’ll fulfill your three requests. On top of that, I’ll share a portion of the true dragon’s remnants with you if we successfully obtain it. That should be enough sincerity on my part, right?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked with a smile.

“Let me take a look at your formation first, “Chu Feng replied. 

The surroundings changed in a flash. 

By the time Chu Feng realized it, they had arrived at a majestic palace. They had traveled a far distance in an instant, leaving the formation realm where Long Xue dwelled to a faraway place. 

This was the speed of a Heavenly God.

This palace was a formation, and at the center of the formation was a massive pill cauldron. 

Nine silhouettes were seated around the cauldron, channeling the formation to forge a pill. Through their spirit power, Chu Feng could tell that they were rank eight True Dragon World Spiritists. They must have been renowned figures in the world of cultivation. 

To have found and gathered so many powerful world spiritists in a single place, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster must have been planning this for many years. It was obvious that he harbored wild ambitions.

However, these nine world spiritists were completely covered by their world spiritist cloaks, which showed that they didn’t want their identities to be known. 

Chu Feng also realized that there were ten formation cores around the pill cauldron even though there were only nine True Dragon World Spiritists. One of the formation cores was empty. 

“Chu Feng?”

Chu Feng’s arrival surprised the nine world spiritists. They recognized him. 

“Take out the pill and show it to young friend Chu Feng,” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster ordered.

“Lord Sectmaster, even though Chu Feng has inherited the Ruler’s Bloodline, he’s still young and his spirit power is lacking. He won’t be able to see through the pill. Furthermore, opening the cauldron at this juncture will cause the pill aura to leak out,” one of the world spiritists said.

The others offered their opinions too. In gist, none of them wanted Chu Feng to participate in the pill forging.  

“Your spirit power might be superior to young friend Chu Feng, but have you conquered the Genesis Bloodline or cleared an Ancestral Martial Realm Sect’s remnant?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster said.

The nine world spiritists fell speechless. 

“Do as I say. Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you as promised whether you succeed or not,” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster added.

Upon receiving his reassurance, the nine world spiritists formed a hand seal and lifted the cauldron’s lid. A brilliant light poured out from the cauldron, and the intense aura of the Totem Dragon Clan’s bloodline seeped out.  

A golden pill rose from the cauldron.

“You wish to use this pill to impersonate a Totem Dragon Clansman to circumvent the suppression of the bloodline formation?” Chu Feng asked.

“As expected of young friend Chu Feng. That’s my intention indeed. There are flaws in the pill that hinder me from perfectly fusing with it. We have tried various methods but we haven’t been able to make a breakthrough. Young friend Chu Feng, can you tell what’s the problem?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked. 

“Let me see.”

Chu Feng first inspected the pill with his Heaven’s Eyes. Moments later, he closed his eyes.

“Young friend Chu Feng, this pill is still incomplete. We can’t keep it out of the cauldron for too long,” one of the world spiritists advised. 

Despite having heard rumors about Chu Feng’s exploits, he still didn’t think that Chu Feng could fix a pill that had stumbled them. They had been God-cloak World Spiritists before, so they knew what world spiritists of his level were capable of. 

Even the difference in a spirit power rank could signify a huge gap in capabilities. Chu Feng might be talented, but there was no way he could bridge the massive gap in their spirit power. 

Boom!

Just then, Chu Feng opened his eyes. 

The palace suddenly shook. Even the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster was stunned, let alone the eight world spiritists. If not for there being a powerful isolation formation around the palace, the quaking would have been even more intense. 

And this quaking was caused by Chu Feng’s eyes.

The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had been merely taking a gamble, but now he was certain that Chu Feng had unfathomable means. He had made the right call this time!
