Chapter 6709: Fighting for the Young Master
Outside the black gate, Baili Xukong and the other Netherworld Sectmembers saw a massive tide of blood-red aura gushing out from the sacred item. Before they could even react, they were already shrouded in the blood-red aura.
This time, they didn’t feel a stabbing pain in their Netherworld Embryos. Instead, their Netherworld Embryos began ravenously devouring the blood-red aura as if it was their favorite food.
Soon, blood-red clouds began gathering in the sky. The clouds were of different sizes, and a humongous pair of eyes could be seen among them. It was a phenomenon!
This was a phenomenon that appeared when Netherworld Sectmembers made a breakthrough.
Under the nourishment of the sacred item’s energy, many of the weaker Netherworld Sectmembers began making a breakthrough.
“It worked! Our young master succeeded!”
Even Baili Xukong couldn’t curb his excitement. He could already tell that he would make a breakthrough in his cultivation, but what excited him more was the elevation in his Netherworld Embryo. That should have been more difficult for him to control the Netherworld Embryo, but the energy deepened the bond between his soul and his Netherworld Embryo.
Not only did that raise his fighting prowess, but his future rate of cultivation would be increased as well.
This was a true metamorphosis.
Boom!
A massive blood-red cloud covered the sky. Baili Xukong had made a breakthrough to rank six Heavenly God level.
“Baili Xukong, you have reached rank six Heavenly God level?” Lie Shan asked.
“Indeed, Lord Lie Shan. You should be close to a breakthrough as well, right?” Baili Xukong replied cheerily.
But Lie Shan glared at him with gritted teeth. “You better hope that's the case, Baili Xukong. I’ll go after you if I fail to make a breakthrough. Don’t think that this is over yet. You still owe me my cultivation!”
Baili Xukong scratched his head awkwardly. Unless he sacrificed his life like Dongfang Hansong, there was no practical way for him to return the six neutral elders’ cultivation.
Baili Xukong had turned against the six neutral elders because he honestly thought that they had betrayed the Netherworld Sect. He was filled with shame after learning the truth.
He was willing to lay down his life for Chu Feng out of loyalty for the Netherworld Master, but just because he felt conscience-stricken toward the six neutral elders didn’t mean that he was willing to die for them. Just because he dared to die didn’t mean that he didn’t fear death.
If there was a choice to live well, who would choose death?
So, Baili Xukong could only pray that the six neutral elders would smoothly advance to rank six Heavenly God level, so that they wouldn’t go after him.
Some time later, the blood-red aura flowing from the sacred item weakened.
Wuma Hanshuang and Jimo Qianzhou made breakthroughs as well. Almost everyone had raised their cultivation, except for the six neutral elders.
Baili Xukong felt uneasy. Despite feeling better than ever, he was so nervous that his face was covered in sweat. It was clear to them that there was a limit to the energy inside the black gate. With the sacred item running out of energy, the six neutral elders might not be able to make a breakthrough.
Whoosh!
Fortunately, right before the sacred item’s energy dissipated, six massive blood-red clouds suddenly manifested in the sky. The six neutral elders had advanced to rank six Heavenly God level.
“Finally!” Baili Xukong breathed a sigh of relief.
The six neutral elders were overjoyed as well. Even Ting Yun was grinning so widely that the corners of his mouth nearly reached his ears.
“Hold on. It looks like the sacred item is about to dissipate.”
Someone noticed the black gate dissipating into smoke. It was happening slowly, but at this rate, it was only a matter of time before it disappeared.
“Our young master isn’t out yet.”
The Netherworld Sectmembers panicked. The dissipation of the sacred item was a small matter; they were worried that Chu Feng would disappear as well.
Just as they were about to barge in, Chu Feng stepped out from the black gate.
He suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes flickered around to take in the surrounding sights. He was observing Baili Xukong and the others. The sacred item had stopped releasing energy, but there were still massive congregations of blood-red auras shrouding Baili Xukong and the others.
The blood-red auras flowed like a ceaseless stream, and sparks would occasionally emerge from them. Chu Feng noticed a peculiar pattern in those sparks. It didn’t take long for him to decipher what it was.
As long as the blood-red auras lingered, the Netherworld Sectmembers could construct a massive Netherworld Embryo formation and exert even greater power through it.
Baili Xukong and the others also realized that something was hidden inside the blood-red auras, and that Chu Feng was deciphering it. So, they stood completely still, not daring to even breathe loudly lest they interrupt him.
It didn’t take long for Chu Feng to capture all the details. He figured out how to construct, channel, and even control the formation through his Netherworld Embryo. On top of that, it wouldn’t interfere with his Dao of Specialization if he was just controlling a formation.
So, he walked up to Baili Xukong and the others and said, “Congratulations on your breakthroughs.”
Baili Xukong and the other Netherworld Sectmembers fell to their knees and said, “Thank you, young master.”
They were earnestly grateful to Chu Feng. They knew that they wouldn’t have been able to undergo this metamorphosis if not for him. This deepened their loyalty toward Chu Feng. They weren’t following him just because he was the Netherworld Master’s descendant anymore.
They did not doubt that the Netherworld Sect would rise to greater heights under Chu Feng’s leadership.
“You need not thank me yet, for I have a request to make,” Chu Feng said.
“Young master, feel free to command us as you please,” Baili Xukong replied.
“Indeed, young master. You don’t need to request anything from us. We will unconditionally follow your orders,” Jimo Qianzhou added.
“Young master, is this regarding Jie Tianran?”
“That’s right.” Chu Feng nodded.
Even though the Netherworld Sect had massacred the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, that was done of their own volition, and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s members they had faced were weaker than them.
But the same couldn’t be said about Jie Tianran. Even by himself, he was on par with a rank seven Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, which was enough to face the Netherworld Sect’s army.
And if he could tap into God’s Era’s power, even the Netherworld Sect’s army would prove inadequate against him. It would be a hopeless battle.
“Young master, our lives belong to you. It’s our honor to fight for you,” Baili Xukong said as he dropped to his knees and kowtowed. “Young master, please allow us to fight for you!”
The other Netherworld Sectmembers kneeled to Chu Feng and echoed those words, “Young master, please allow us to fight for you!”
