Martial God Asura

Chapter 6437: Human Heart is Hard to Read

“Elder, i-i-isn’t this a trial? Are we r-r-really going to die if we fail to defeat you?” Chu Feng said with a stutter, showing none of the composure he displayed earlier.

“The price of failing this trial is death. Weaklings have no place here,” the black monstrous beast sneered.

Chu Feng suddenly smirked. He changed his hand seal, and a pair of incomparably massive golden eyes appeared behind him.

“You brat...” The black monstrous beast’s face stiffened up.

The appearance of the golden eyes heightened the pressure on him, further suppressing his fighting prowess. That was Chu Feng’s means—rank three God Taboo Divine Might. He could only use it for an instant, but its suppression effect was superior to that of Immortal Suppression.

By stacking the two skills, the black monstrous beast was greatly weakened.

Without any hesitation, Chu Feng thrust his spear into the black monstrous beast’s face.

“You’re a cunning one, but it’s futile,” the black monstrous beast sneered.

He couldn’t dodge this attack, but he could concentrate his defense and block Chu Feng’s attack, just like how he had done earlier. At the same time, he launched a counterattack against Chu Feng.

Victory was his to claim.

His face suddenly warped in shock the next moment. The spear whizzing toward his face suddenly vanished, and blood spurted from his neck instead.

“This...”

The crowd was flabbergasted. They might not have been able to follow the battle, but the outcome of the battle was clear now that both Chu Feng and the black monstrous beast had stopped moving.

Chu Feng’s spear was lodged inside the black monstrous beast’s neck.

“Elder, you have lost,” Chu Feng said.

The black monstrous beast smiled bitterly. “Not only are you able to simultaneously use four God Taboo Martial Skills, but you also had such a trick hidden in your sleeves. You must have practised that spearmanship for a long time now?”

“Elder, you have sharp eyes. I have indeed practised that spearmanship for a long time,” Chu Feng replied.

“Rubbish! How did you grasp our Formless Spearmanship so quickly? You monster!” Ye Xiancheng exclaimed, though he wasn’t truly angry. There was a hint of excitement and delight in his voice.

The others were excited as well.

Chu Feng had won.

“Chu Feng, you’re qualified to claim the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor’s God Armament, but I ought to give you one last lesson—know a person but not their heart.”

Hu!

The black monstrous beast suddenly transformed into a swiftly expanding hurricane and enveloped Chu Feng. It generated powerful winds that hurtled Eighth Zhao out of the spirit formation gate.

“Big brother!”

“Chu Feng!”

Little Fishy and the others, imprisoned by the cage, were unfazed by the black hurricane, but they were worried about Chu Feng.

“Lord Chu Feng.”

Shen Hui quickly dispelled the formation, knowing the rank five Heavenly God level cultivation was no longer useful to Chu Feng. Worried for Chu Feng, she and her clansmen rushed to the spirit formation gate.

Many of the Spirit God Clansmen were so weakened that even standing up and walking was a trial to them. Some of them had to resort to crawling and rolling. Even so, all of them still rushed to the spirit formation gate like moths plunging into candlelight.

Uwa!

As soon as Shen Hui stepped into the spirit formation gate, she was hurtled out with a cry of agony. She was in a severely weakened state, not to mention she was nowhere as strong as Eighth Zhao in the first place, so there was no way she could stand a chance against the force of the black hurricane.

She could have lost her life if not for the Heavensword Sacred Palace’s Palace Master catching her and neutralizing the immense momentum on her.

Yet, the Spirit God Clansmen still poured into the spirit formation gate.

Even after the Palace Master caught them, they still relentlessly crawled their way through the gate, hoping to aid Chu Feng.

“Enough! This is young friend Chu Feng’s trial. You should have more faith in him if you acknowledge him as your master. What makes you think he needs your saving?” the Palace Master roared.

That jolted some sense back into the Spirit God Clansmen. Indeed, this could be a trial. No, it has to be a trial!

“I know you are worried about your master, but you don’t have the means to help him. You’ll only bring him misery if he learns you have died such futile deaths,” the Palace Master added with a gentler tone.

Those words struck a chord with the Spirit God Clansmen. Indeed. Chu Feng would only blame himself if we die like that.

“Thank you for your reminder,” Shen Hui said. She ordered the Spirit God Clansmen to sit down and recuperate.

Having regained their composure, they knew they wouldn’t be of any help to Chu Feng even if they entered the spirit formation gate. But if Chu Feng cleared the trial and saw them in a horrid state, he would surely feel self-reproach.

Only by recuperating right now would they bring Chu Feng ease of mind.

The members of the Heavensword Sacred Palace walked up to their Palace Master and asked, “Lord Palace Master, are you fine?”

They were more worried about their Palace Master. It defied common sense for their Palace Master to be unharmed after lending her cultivation to so many people.

The Palace Master found it unbelievable as well, but she was indeed completely unharmed.

“The Spirit God Clan is formidable indeed. I have suffered no adverse effects from the formation.” The Palace Master even eyed Shen Hui with approving eyes.

“This feeling...”

The Palace Master’s face darkened.

...

Deep in the Immemorial Cemetery stood behemoths with bodies larger than the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm. Even their eyes were several times larger than the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm. Just a stomp from them could destroy multiple realms.

Thousands of such beings stood in a circle as if surrounding something.

Normal cultivators would have died of shock if they had witnessed this sight. Should such entities appear in the world of cultivation, they would unleash devastation wherever they went. There would be no realms nor starfields.

With enough time, they could destroy the eight galaxies.

With their humongous bodies came tremendous strength.

Even their oppressive might could collapse realms, eradicating the beings residing in them before they could even understand what was going on.

Yet, wariness and unease were reflected in the massive eyes of these behemoths as they looked upon two insignificant beings who looked no more than dust specks in their presence.

It was these two beings who instilled fear in them, making them dare not make a move.
