Chapter 6001: The Beginning Of A Nightmare
“King Ant Tribe? I have never heard of them but based on what I have seen, their tribesmen are mediocre. They might have many tribesmen, but most are old or crippled. That boy is the only one who possesses special abilities.
“I don’t know what rights that boy has to be so arrogant. He speaks as if he can kill us if we don’t help him,” Huahua grumbled with a pout. She turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Chu Feng, do you think their King Ant Tribe is powerful?”
“To be honest, we wouldn’t have known that he possessed such powers if he hadn’t revealed them,” Chu Feng replied.
“Do you think that they are just feigning weakness?” Huahua asked.
She trusted Chu Feng’s judgment.
“It’s hard to say, but that boy is a special one. He has the right to be arrogant,” Chu Feng replied.
“I shan’t think too much into it,” Huahua said as she tossed a Cosmos Sack to Chu Feng. “Take this.”
The Cosmos Sack contained the treasures plundered from the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s experts.
“We’ll split it when we meet with Elder Xia,” Chu Feng said, “We have to split it equally, or else I won’t take a share. It’d go against my conscience to monopolize the benefits.
“Fine, fine. You’re such a stubborn lad.” Huahua sighed in resignation. “Should we head over now?”
“No rush. I want to a.s.similate the cultivation resources first,” Chu Feng said.
He knew that his breakthrough would cause a huge commotion, so he wanted to make a breakthrough here before moving elsewhere.
“All right.” Huahua nodded.
Since there was no one else here, Chu Feng sat down on the spot and began a.s.similating the cultivation resources refined by that boy. Just as he had expected, these cultivation resources were enough for him to make a breakthrough.
Soon, the sky turned dark, and nine-colored lightning zapped down from the sky. Despite its tremendous might, it failed to hurt Chu Feng at all. Instead, his aura began surging.
With that, he successfully made a breakthrough from rank seven Half-G.o.d level to rank eight Half-G.o.d level.
“You’re able to withstand such a terrifying lightning tribulation? You’re incredible!” Huahua exclaimed in amazement.
She had long heard that Chu Feng possessed formidable bloodlines, but the indomitable aura emanated by the nine-colored lightning still shook her.
“Incredible, isn’t it?” Chu Feng replied gleefully, playing along with Huahua.
“It really is! So, how many breakthroughs did you make?” Huahua asked.
“Just one.”
“One? I guess it takes time to find the impetus required for a breakthrough.”
“No, there’s only enough cultivation resources for a single breakthrough.”
“Ah… do you need that much cultivation resources for your cultivation?”
Huahua was surprised to learn that the cultivation resources were only enough for Chu Feng to make a single breakthrough.
“My bloodline has a huge appet.i.te,” Chu Feng replied.
“I shouldn’t be surprised considering your fighting prowess. It’s not exactly a bad thing either,” Huahua said with a smile.
There were pros and cons to everything.
Chu Feng’s bloodline might be demanding in terms of cultivation resources, but that also meant that it had a strong foundation.
Having successfully made a breakthrough, Chu Feng and Huahua entered the teleportation formation and made their way to the agreed meeting location to reunite with Xia Xingchen.
…
Meanwhile, the King Ant Tribe was traveling together through the teleportation pa.s.sageway. Their hulking sizes and the sheer number of them made quite an impressive sight.
The one leading the group was a boy named Xin w.a.n.g. Even the chief stood behind him like a subordinate.
“Heaven must be looking after us for us to stumble upon Chu Feng!” the King Ant Tribe’s chief remarked with a smile.
Chu Feng’s appearance was a surprise to them.
“I thought that the person behind them would make a move, but the three of them were surprisingly able to rescue us by themselves. It’s mostly Chu Feng’s credit. He might be the weakest one in the group, but he’s also the most capable one,” the boy remarked.
The King Ant Tribe’s chief was taken aback. “There’s someone behind them? Who is it?”
“That’s not important. The important thing is that the only one worth our attention is Chu Feng,” the boy said.
…
Chu Feng and Huahua reunited with Xia Xingchen, and they shared their experiences.
“Chu Feng, where do you intend to head next?” Huahua asked.
“Elders, do you still require my help?” Chu Feng asked.
“What are you saying?” We owe you a favor.”
“Indeed. We can travel with you since we don’t have anything better to do right now.”
Huahua and Xia Xingchen replied with merry smiles. Despite being elders, the two of them sounded like young ladies who had been confined at home and desired freedom.
“You have nothing better to do?” an old voice suddenly boomed.
Startled, the three of them looked over and saw Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer.
“Master?” Huahua’s smile vanished, knowing that she couldn’t continue traveling with Chu Feng anymore. A thought popped up in her head, and she asked, “Master, have you heard of the King Ant Tribe?”
“I have,” Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer replied.
Chu Feng and the others’ eyes lit up. They wanted to learn more about the King Ant Tribe from Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer, but the latter quickly added, “I’ve just heard about them. I have been following you, so I know what you have been through. That lad from the King Ant Tribe is a peculiar one. He noticed me too.”
Chu Feng and the others were surprised. Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer had been following them, but they didn’t notice him at all. This further showed just how perceptive Xin w.a.n.g was.
“Master, is that boy from the Ancient Era’s race that formidable? Are you able to tell what his cultivation level is? What’s with that King Ant Tribe? Do all of them possess such formidable abilities, or is that boy the exception?” Huahua unloaded a series of questions.
“I wasn’t able to decipher much about them, but that’s not what you should be focusing on now. The world of cultivation has been plunged into chaos,” Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer said.
“Master, did something happen?” Huahua asked.
“Yes, two major things happened.
“Firstly, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion has announced the formation of the Galactic Alliance to better maintain order in the world of cultivation. This alliance will be headed by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, and the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion, Totem Dragon Clan, and Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect have expressed their willingness to join the alliance.
“Joining the alliance is a subtle way of putting it. It just means that they are willing to be subordinated to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion,” Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer said.
Chu Feng and the others were stunned. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had made its first move to put the world of cultivation under their thumb.
“What about the second matter?” Huahua and Xia Xingchen asked.
Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer turned to Chu Feng and grimly said, “Chu Feng, you’ll have to mentally prepare yourself for what I’m about to say.”
Those words made Chu Feng’s heart skip a beat. “Elder, is this concerning my mother?”
Daoist Sta.r.s.eizer shook his head, much to Chu Feng’s relief, but what he subsequently said struck Chu Feng like a bolt in the blue.
“The Immortal Sea Fish Clan has been destroyed.”
