Chapter 6276: Chu Feng’s Bloodline Tier?

“Shengyu, I didn’t tell you the truth because I wanted to build up your confidence. Heavenly Bloodlines aren’t just divided into Lower-tier, Middle-tier, Upper-tier, General-tier, and Saint-tier. Those who have Lower-tier, Middle-tier, and Upper-tier bloodlines aren’t true prodigies, so I shan’t touch too much on them. The minimum level required to be a prodigy is Heaven-tier.

“Heaven-tier is divided into Heaven Lower-tier, Heaven Middle-tier, Heaven Upper-tier, and Heaven General-tier. Huangfu Fanni is at Heaven Middle-tier. Despite his name carrying the character ‘Fan (Middle)’, his bloodline is only slightly weaker than yours. In truth, he’s also considered a true prodigy,” the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief said.

Huangfu Shengyu interjected, “So, Huangfu Shangwu, Huangfu Shangyang, and the others are actually at Heaven Upper-tier.”

“Indeed.” The clan chief nodded.

Huangfu Shengyu widened his eyes in horror as he realized what his father was getting at. His breathing hastened, his complexion turned awful, and his hands began trembling.

He was panicking!

The clan chief had expected such a response when he chose to reveal the information, so he didn’t bother consoling Huangfu Shengyu.

Since it was already established that Chu Feng’s bloodline was stronger than Huangfu Shengyu’s, it was about time to let the latter know that his bloodline was not the strongest of all.

“You’re saying that the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline Saint-tier can be further divided into different tiers?” Huangfu Shengyu sought clarification from his father.

That was the conclusion he had come to. He realized that even though his bloodline was indeed at Saint-tier, unlike what he had believed thus far, it was not at the strongest tier.

“Yes, the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline’s Saint-tier can be further divided into Saint Lower-tier, Saint Middle-tier, Saint Upper-tier, and Saint King-tier. Saint King-tier is the highest tier for the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline,” the clan chief replied.

“What’s my tier?” Huangfu Shengyu asked.

“The Immemorial Lightning Pillar is here. Why don’t you give it a try?” the clan chief said.

Huangfu Shengyu made his way toward the Immemorial Lightning Pillar. He had been through many talent evaluations from a young age, and the evaluation methods didn’t differ vastly from one another. It was his first time seeing the Immemorial Lightning Pillar, but he could guess how it was meant to be used.

He walked up to the Immemorial Lightning Pillar, placed his palm on it, and fused his bloodline into it.

Tzzzzzz!

Nine-colored lightning flowed from his palm to coil around the Immemorial Lightning Pillar and began swiftly ascending.

Wherever the lightning passed, the pillar’s black exterior would be replaced by a nine-colored light. This sight piqued the interest of not just the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen but Jie Shanxian too.

Huangfu Shengyu’s bloodline was formidable. It gushed right through the Lower-tier, Middle-tier, and Upper-tier section, not slowing the least even as it ascended through the Heaven-tier. It was racing straight toward the Saint-tier section!

But upon reaching Saint-tier, the ascension rapidly slowed down. A character appeared on the sphere located at the tip of the Immemorial Lightning Pillar—’Lower’!

Huangfu Shengyu frowned. Does this mean that I’m only at Saint Lower-tier?

To his relief, the nine-colored lightning was still ascending, albeit at a slower pace.

Some time later, the ‘Lower’ character disappeared and was replaced with ‘Ordinary’, but it was also then that Huangfu Shengyu’s nine-colored lightning stopped moving.

“So I’m only at Saint Middle-tier!” Huangfu Shengyu felt conflicted.

He was not satisfied with this outcome, but it was still acceptable to him.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief, however, smiled in delight. He knew that Huangfu Shengyu’s bloodline was previously at Saint Lower-tier, which meant that the energy from the Immemorial Bloodline Tower must have raised his bloodline to a greater height.

This was wonderful news for the Huangfu Heavenly Clan! Their partnership with Chu Feng had been worthwhile!

“Chu Feng, this Immemorial Lightning Pillar will not remain activated for long. Why don’t you give it a try while it’s still functioning?” the clan chief said.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen turned to Chu Feng. They were curious to know how strong his bloodline was. Would he be stronger than Huangfu Shengyu but remain at the same Saint Middle-tier, or would he be a step closer to the legendary level, Saint Upper-tier?

“Father, the only bloodlines above me are Saint Upper-tier and the legendary Saint King-tier, right?” Huangfu Shengyu asked.

“That’s right,” the clan chief replied.

Huangfu Shengyu looked at Chu Feng with encouraging eyes. “Don’t feel burdened, Chu Feng. Your bloodline is stronger than mine. There’s a good chance you’re at Saint Upper-tier. The worst-case scenario is that you’re at Saint Middle-tier, just like me.”

“Burdened?” Chu Feng chuckled. “I don’t feel that at all.”

He walked up to the Immemorial Lightning Pillar and placed his palm on it.

Gwar!

The earth tremored. Nine massive lightning beasts gushed out from Chu Feng’s palm and swiftly ascended the black pillar.

Huangfu Shengyu’s nine-colored lightning ascended fast, but Chu Feng’s nine lightning beasts were at least fifty times faster! Had those present been any weaker, they wouldn’t even be able to follow their movements.

But it was also for that very reason that they quickly realized something was amiss.

Cracks appeared on the Immemorial Lightning Pillar where the nine lightning beasts passed. The pillar looked to be approaching its limit.

But the crowd was more curious about Chu Feng’s bloodline tier to pay much heed to that.

The nine lightning beasts reached the Saint region in less than the blink of an eye, but their movement speed didn’t slow. On the contrary, they moved even faster. In the end, they gushed out of the Immemorial Lightning Pillar and ascended into the sky.

Half of their bodies remained coiled around the Immemorial Lightning Pillar, while the other half covered the sky. They turned around and gazed down on the pillar with disdain in their eyes.

Grar!

The nine lightning beasts howled simultaneously, causing the black pillar to shatter and disintegrate with the lightning.

“What’s going on? Did we run out of time on the Immemorial Lightning Pillar?” the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen asked.

“Perhaps so,” the clan chief replied.

Despite his response, the clan chief was so shaken up that he could hardly maintain his composure. He knew that the Immemorial Lightning Pillar hadn’t run out of time; it was simply unable to withstand Chu Feng’s bloodline.

But according to the records, the Immemorial Lightning Pillar was capable of testing Saint King-tier! So how could it be unable to withstand Chu Feng’s bloodline?

It was one thing if the records were wrong, but if the records were on point, the implications were terrifying. It would mean that Chu Feng’s bloodline surpassed what was believed to be the peak of the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, above Saint King-tier!
