Martial God Asura

Chapter 6172: The First One, As Well As the Last One

“It is Shen Bai,” Little Fishy told Chu Feng via voice transmission.

Chu Feng looked at Little Fishy.

“He is Shen Yi’s youngest brother,” Little Fishy explained.

“That means he is the weakest one among the hundred Heavenly Gods?” Chu Feng asked.

Little Fishy had previously mentioned that the seniority of the hundred brothers was based on their relative strength and could change at any moment. 

“That’s right.” Little Fishy nodded.

Just then, Ouyang Kuangfei remembered something and turned to Chu Feng. “Chu Feng, there is something we need to talk to you about. Come with me.”

He grabbed Chu Feng’s arm and dragged him toward the temporary city they had constructed.

Little Fishy, Long Chengyu, Long Mucheng, and the others followed them. 

Soon, they arrived at a palace constructed out of a treasure. 

There was a unique formation inside the palace. There were four formation cores inside the formation—one in the center and the other three around it—but there was no one standing in the formation cores. 

Instead, the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s elders were channeling the formation from outside. 

“Chu Feng, thank you for saving Lingyu,” Ouyang Mingzhang’s voice echoed from the entrance. 

He was accompanied by two other clan protection elders. 

“The situation is urgent, so I’ll cut things short. Lingyu made a bet with you, promising to give you our Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s rank three God Taboo Descent of Lightning Punishment if he lost. 

“Our Ouyang Heavenly Clan believes in the sanctity of promises, just that Descent of Lightning Punishment is a little special. It can’t be directly learned. You can only cultivate it after inheriting its legacy, but not everyone can withstand the legacy… That being said, your future cultivation will become much easier if you successfully inherit the legacy,” Ouyang Mingzhang said as he tossed a scroll into the formation.

He and the other two clan protection elders stepped into the three outer formation cores, leaving the centermost one for Chu Feng.

“I didn’t do much to save Ouyang Lingyu, but you constructed this massive sealing formation and clashed with the Netherworld Sect to protect me. That is far greater than what I deserve. You don’t owe me anything. Rather, I am the one who owes the Ouyang Heavenly Clan a favor,” Chu Feng said. 

“A favor is not valued by effort. The smallest action can mean the world to someone else. Besides, Lingyu told me to hand this rank three God Taboo to you no matter what while he was still conscious. Give it a try, young friend Chu Feng. If it works out, it would mean you are fated with our Ouyang Heavenly Clan. If it fails, we have at least fulfilled what we have promised you,” Ouyang Mingzhang said. 

The other two clan protection elders spoke up too.

“Young friend Chu Feng, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

“We need to do this fast. We need to quickly return to channel the formation before those two up there conclude their battle.”

Even though they didn’t see how Chu Feng saved Ouyang Lingyu, they, like Ouyang Mingzhang, were determined to repay him after hearing the story. 

Knowing this was an opportunity, Chu Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and entered the middle formation core. 

The formation activated. 

Nine-colored lightning suffused the hall before eventually converging into the rank three God Taboo scroll. A light pillar shot from the rank three God Taboo scroll into Chu Feng’s head.

Chu Feng frowned for a brief moment, but his expression swiftly smoothened out. 

Soon, the formation halted.

“It looks like young friend Chu Feng shares a deep fate with our Ouyang Heavenly Clan.” Ouyang Mingzhang took back the rank three God Taboo scroll, but his approving gaze lingered on Chu Feng. 

“It’s not just our Ouyang Heavenly Clan. Someone of young friend Chu Feng’s talent is bound to be fated with all Heavenly Clans,” another clan protection elder said.

The third clan protection elder remarked, “Young friend Chu Feng might just bring glory back to the Heavenly Clans.”

The other Ouyang Heavenly Clansmen were dumbstruck too.

It was no easy feat to inherit this rank three God Taboo. Even those who had succeeded didn’t pull it off as easily as Chu Feng did. He merely frowned for an instant before nonchalantly taking in the full legacy. 

This was unheard of in the history of the Ouyang Heavenly Clan. No wonder the three clan protection elders had such high praises for Chu Feng. 

“Young friend Chu Feng, I know conventional cultivation wisdom may not apply to someone as talented as you, but this rank three God Taboo is a special one. I don’t advise you to cultivate it until you reach rank five True God level. It may adversely affect your growth if you accidentally hurt your bloodline,” Ouyang Mingzhang instructed. 

“Thank you for your reminder, elder. I’ll take note of it,” Chu Feng replied with a smile. 

From the legacy, he learned that Descent of Lightning Punishment was a powerful, large area-of-effect martial skill that ranked among the top of rank three God Taboo Martial Skills. 

Boom!

There was a deafening explosion from the sky that shook even the palace they were in. 

“So what if you are at rank three Heavenly God? You still get crushed the moment I exert a bit more might,” the enigmatic figure said. 

The Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s elders, Long Chengyu, Long Mucheng, and the others rushed out, while the Ouyang Heavenly Clan’s three clan protection elders quickly returned to their positions in the formation. 

Zhao Daobin just had his left arm severed by a beam of golden light. At the same time, the enigmatic figure revealed Zhao Daobin’s cultivation to be rank three Heavenly God level.

Chu Feng wanted to head out too, but Little Fishy grabbed his arm.

“What’s wrong, Yu’er?” Chu Feng asked.

“Big brother, there is something in your eyes,” Little Fishy said as she reached for his eyes.

Chu Feng closed his eyes. A fragrance approached him, then he felt a gentle peck on his lips. He immediately understood what had happened and hurriedly opened his eyes. 

Little Fishy’s beautiful face appeared right in front of him. She had stripped off her disguise to reveal her gorgeous palm-sized face and delicate facial features. Her usually fair complexion was furiously red. 

“Yu’er, you…”

Chu Feng knew Little Fishy harbored romantic feelings for him, but this had happened so abruptly that he didn’t know how to respond. 

There were only the two of them in the palace. He could even hear her furious heartbeat, which sounded like it would beat out of her chest. She must have been far more nervous than him. 

All of a sudden, Little Fishy raised her head and flashed her trademark radiant smile. Somehow, her radiance felt more contagious than usual. 

“Big brother, you’re the first one,” Little Fishy said. 

‘As well as the last one,’ she thought in her heart, not voicing it out. 

Without waiting for Chu Feng’s response, she began running outside. She briefly paused at the palace’s entrance, turned around, and said, “Big brother, you will reach the peak of cultivation.”

Leaving those words behind, she rose into the air.
