Martial God Asura

Chapter 6677: He Drank the Strongest Move

“Do you think Chu Feng will be willing to join our Netherworld Sect if we promise to help him deal with Jie Tianran?” Ting Yun suddenly asked.

You want to turn against the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion to recruit Chu Feng? Betraying our ally will sully our reputation, but again, what does the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion count as if it means having Chu Feng as an ally?

In the first place, reputation meant nothing to them. The Netherworld Sect had never enjoyed a good reputation.

“If Chu Feng joins us, I’ll make sure to destroy Jie Tianran. I have never seen such a dastardly grandfather. I have been wanting to pick a beef with him for a long time now.” Lie Shan rolled up his sleeves, indicating that he was ready to stand up for Chu Feng at any moment.

However, his gesture only looked amusing because of his childlike frame.

“It’ll be tough.” Cang Li shook his head. “There’s already a lot of bad blood between us. Given his personality, it won’t be easy to convince him.”

“We have to give it a try. When has the road ever been easy for our Netherworld Sect? We have faced hardships in strengthening the Netherworld Embryo. We have also faced hardships in awakening the sacred item. But we have never backed down in the face of adversity,” Lie Shan spoke excitedly, as if fearing that Cang Li would oppose his suggestion.

Cang Li glared at Lie Shan. “I’m more afraid of Chu Feng agreeing to join us.”

“Old Cang, isn’t that good news? What are you afraid of?” Lie Shan was confused.

“Can you guarantee that Chu Feng sincerely wants to join us, and that he’s not just using us to deal with Jie Tianran, just so that he can turn his back on us later on?” Cang Li asked.

The other neutral elders fell silent. None of them could guarantee that.

“We can’t forget that Baili Xukong has sided with Jie Tianran, and that there is a grudge between his son and Chu Feng. He won’t permit Chu Feng to join the Netherworld Sect. With Chu Feng’s caliber, it’s only a matter of time before we have to lower our heads to him. The six of us might be willing to do so, but what about Baili Xukong and his underlings?” Cang Li asked.

As much as he admired Chu Feng, he still had to consider how pragmatic the matter was and prioritize the Netherworld Sect’s interest.

“I’ll deal with Baili Xukong if he refuses to accept the matter. He says that he prioritizes the Netherworld Sect over all things; what could be more important than recruiting Chu Feng to the Netherworld Sect then? As for your concerns about Chu Feng’s trustworthiness, none of us can make any guarantees, but at the very least, Chu Feng has forged a good reputation for himself. He should at least be more reliable than Jie Tianran,” Lie Shan replied.

“Chu Feng cares deeply about his friends, but he is also known to be unscrupulous when dealing with his enemies. Do you think he sees us as a friend or an enemy now?” Cang Li asked.

“Isn’t it obvious that we’re enemies to him? We wouldn’t be worrying about this if he were an ally. This is a problem.” Lie Shan scratched his head in frustration. All of a sudden, he turned to the Netherworld God and exclaimed, “Eh? Why did Lord Netherworld God scatter?”

The other neutral elders had also noticed the same thing. The Netherworld God’s body had dissipated as a red aura.

“No, it’s not that Lord Netherworld God is scattering. His power is fusing into the sacred realm,” Ting Yun replied.

His judgment was right.

Huge swathes of blood-red clouds gathered in the sky, and a humongous silhouette could be vaguely seen reflected amid them. It was the Netherworld God, but he appeared far stronger than before.

This Netherworld God’s silhouette converged into a giant pillar of red light that descended from the sky toward Chu Feng’s body.

The six neutral elders clenched their fists out of nervousness. They could tell that this was a cataclysmic attack, but somehow, Chu Feng calmly raised his head and faced the pillar of red light without dodging.

Something even more shocking happened after.

Chu Feng opened his mouth, and so did his Netherworld Embryo.

The pillar of red light slammed into the plains, causing the ground to crack, but Chu Feng alone remained unharmed. Its energy flowed ceaselessly into his Netherworld Embryo’s mouth like an endless fountain of power.

“Heavens! He drank Lord Netherworld God’s strongest attack?”

Lie Shan was dumbfounded. The pillar of red light was still gushing, but he could already tell that it was only a matter of time before Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo took in all that energy, no matter how huge it was.

“That darned Baili Xukong. He turned a prodigy of this caliber into our enemy over that dimwit son of his,” Lie Shan cursed.

“Maybe it’s heaven’s will. The inheritor we have been searching for just had to be our biggest enemy,” Ting Yun lamented.

“Actually, there is one thing I have been withholding from you. I didn’t send Dongfang Hansong to deal with my private affairs. Rather, it concerns Lord Netherworld Master,” Cang Li said.

“Lord Netherworld Master? What is it?”

The other neutral elders immediately turned to look at Cang Li. They were the most loyal subordinates of the Netherworld Master. To them, there was no news more important than that concerning the Netherworld Master.

“After everything that has happened, I wondered if Chu Feng was Lord Netherworld Master’s descendant,” Cang Li said.

The other five neutral elders’ mouths fell agape.

Chu Feng was talented, but they had never associated him with the Netherworld Master.

Cang Li elaborated on the basis of his suspicion. The other five neutral elders narrowed their eyes in agitation. Their hands trembled nonstop, and cold sweat trickled down their backs.

“Y-y-you’re saying that Chu Feng...” Lie Shan was so agitated that he couldn’t even finish his sentence. He could only stare at Cang Li intently.

“Unfortunately, Chu Feng isn’t Lord Netherworld Master’s descendant,” Cang Li revealed.

“Shit!” Lie Shan smashed his fist into the ground.

The others also let out sighs like deflated balloons. They felt like their anticipation had culminated in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo had taken in all the energy from the red light, causing it to grow into a behemoth of over ten thousand meters in height. The aura it emanated reached a terrifying level.

The Netherworld God had vanished. Chu Feng was now the ruler of the sacred realm.

“Amazing. He withstood Lord Netherworld God’s ten attacks,” Cang Li remarked.

“Above all, he overcame that insurmountable trial as easily as drinking water,” Lie Shan added.

Unease and despair seeped into their eyes.

Chu Feng was looking in their direction right now. It was obvious that his gaze was locked on them.

“You are the ones who dragged me into this realm, right?”
