Martial God Asura

Chapter 6387: True Prodigy

“Chu Feng? Is it Chu Feng?”

“It is him! Was he kidnapped or what?”

As the warship came closer, the members of the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion could see Chu Feng and the others. They saw Chu Feng standing alongside the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s experts. However, their first reaction was bewilderment.

Chu Feng might have explained the situation, but this whole thing seemed unbelievable to them. They knew Chu Feng had a grudge with the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.

“Is that... Huangfu Shengyu? He isn’t dead?” Yuwen Yanri noticed Huangfu Shengyu standing next to Chu Feng.

“Huangfu Shengyu is alive?”

The others from the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion were baffled.

Huangfu Shengyu’s voice echoed, “Yuwen Yanri, Chu Feng didn’t kill me that day. Instead, he helped me make a breakthrough in my bloodline. I see him as a close friend now. I know you’re on good terms with Chu Feng. We had our differences, but we didn’t come seeking vengeance. Rather, we wish to talk things through. You can receive your legacy with ease of mind. If anyone dares disturb you, our clan will destroy them on your behalf.”

The members of the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion felt like they were in a dream.

It was one thing for them to doubt Chu Feng’s words, but if even the Huangfu Heavenly Clan was saying the same thing, there was no reason for them to remain skeptical.

There was no reason for the Huangfu Heavenly Clan to lie to them when they had a rank three Heavenly God on their side. If they wanted vengeance, they could have made a move straight away. There was no need for them to resort to trickery.

So, Yuwen Yanri received the legacy with ease of mind.

Soon, the crowd turned their eyes toward the tombstone. It had suddenly ignited with raging, golden flames that roared ferociously like a heaven-devouring beast. This raging flame flowed into Yuwen Yanri’s body along with the legacy’s energy.

Yuwen Yanri’s face warped in pain.

“This doesn’t look good. Most people won’t be able to withstand the legacy,” Huangfu Zhantian said.

He had already concluded that Yuwen Yanri would fail. It was not that he looked down on Yuwen Yanri, but that the flames were so potent that even he was not confident of withstanding them.

The one who was most worried about Yuwen Yanri was his grandfather.

“Yanri, let’s give up,” he said, knowing they couldn’t continue like that.

But Yuwen Yanri’s eyes hardened in determination. He formed a hand seal and allowed the flames to flow freely into his body. The flames swiftly incinerated his specially-made robes and burned large swathes of his martial power-cloaked skin.

But Yuwen Yanri didn’t back down. Instead, he said, “Tell the others to stay away from me!”

“Yanri, are you certain?”

The Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master realized what Yuwen Yanri was going to do, and the worry in his eyes deepened. Nevertheless, he still ordered all their members to stay away from the tombstone.

The defensive formation also transformed to protect against what was inside rather than outside.

“Haaa!” The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief sighed. “The Blazing Sun Divine Body is ranked seventh in the Divine Body Ranking, but its violent and domineering power is beyond the means of most people to withstand. Yuwen Yanri is decently talented to be able to withstand it, but it’s a pity he doesn’t understand that it’s not worth losing his foundation over a fortuitous encounter.”

Many agreed with that judgment.

No matter how great the legacy was, it couldn’t be as great as the Blazing Sun Divine Body. There was no need for Yuwen Yanri to put his life on the line for this fortuitous encounter when he already had the Blazing Sun Divine Body.

“He might have wanted that legacy initially, but that’s not the case anymore,” Chu Feng said.

“Oh?”

The crowd was confused.

“Yuwen Yanri hasn’t been able to fully assimilate the Blazing Sun Divine Body, resulting in his body being constantly wrecked by its power. He’s using the legacy’s energy to temper his body and counteract the Blazing Sun Divine Body, so that he can finally fully assimilate it,” Chu Feng said.

“This... Won’t he die if he fails?”

“That explains it.”

The crowd was initially taken aback, but they soon understood the reason behind the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s tension.

The Divine Body Heavenly Mansion must have understood Yuwen Yanri’s intention.

“He might have a clear intent in mind, but the result is the same.” The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief still didn’t have a high opinion of Yuwen Yanri.

“Elder, what makes you think so?” Chu Feng asked.

“It’s recorded in the annals that the Blazing Sun Divine Body can be passed down, but very few are capable of truly controlling it. For their survival, those who inherited the Blazing Sun Divine Body would not hold onto it for too long. In the first place, it’s impossible to fully assimilate the Blazing Sun Divine Body. If so many powerhouses in the Ancient Era failed to do it, I doubt it’ll be any different for him,” the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief replied.

The sky suddenly turned pitch-black. There was not the slightest light to be seen, as if they had all been plunged into absolute darkness.

While the crowd was bewildered, a blinding light shone from the tombstone.

A brilliant sun emerged from the tombstone. Blazing flames rushed into the sky, ascending higher and higher until they pierced through the tombstone realm, but even so, they continued to expand.

It was a phenomenon!

The emergence of the phenomenon brought light back to the dark surroundings.

The flames from the legacy could no longer seep into Yuwen Yanri’s body, for he was releasing flames identical to those of the phenomenon. This was the power of the Blazing Sun Divine Body!

“Did he succeed?”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were in disbelief.

With a wave of his sleeves, Yuwen Yanri siphoned all the flames on the tombstone into his palm. The phenomenon vanished, and the flames around Yuwen Yanri dissipated.

Yuwen Yanri put on his robe as soon as he was done, but the crowd still noticed the burn scars previously on his body vanishing, and his disposition felt vastly different.

Many years of being tortured by the Blazing Sun Divine Body had given him a sickly appearance despite his tall stature, especially due to his emaciated physique and pale face. Now, he was still as emaciated as before, but his complexion looked much healthier, and his eyes glowed with spirit.

He was no longer the sickly youth he was before.

“He managed to pull it off,” Chu Feng remarked.

“To think there’s such a figure in the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion!”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief and elders were stunned. They were forced to reassess Yuwen Yanri. The latter had accomplished a feat that they had always thought was impossible. His talent was astonishing!

“Looks like Chu Feng isn’t the only outstanding junior among the present-era cultivators,” Huangfu Zhantian remarked.

“Is that legacy so formidable?”

Unlike the others, who were awed by Yuwen Yanri’s transformation, Eggy was more interested to know how potent the Immemorial Cemetery’s legacies were.

“This legacy does complement Yuwen Yanri well, but his ability to fully assimilate the Blazing Sun Divine Body is also testimony to his talent,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

He might have taken the crown at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith, but Yuwen Yanri’s performance was also equally incredible. The latter’s talent was undeniable.

Chu Feng’s face suddenly warped in shock. He borrowed the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief’s means to shout, “Be careful, Brother Yuwen!”

At the same time, he anxiously flew toward Yuwen Yanri.
