Martial God Asura

Chapter 6723: Using the Eight Galaxies as a Formation

The old entity opened up his palm, and a sphere flew out. It was initially minuscule, but it quickly expanded until it became a small realm sitting between Chu Feng and the old entity.

The realm was suffused in a blood aura, but Chu Feng, Baili Xukong, and the others peered beyond the blood aura to see a single individual in there. It was Chu Feng’s grandmother, Jie Nianqing.

“Grandmother?” Chu Feng was surprised.

His grandmother was just a soul entity at the moment, but her aura was stable. Not only was she alive, but she was currently in deep cultivation.

“Jie Tianran might be unscrupulous, but there are people whom he holds dear. There was no way he would kill his wife. He held a public trial because he realized that there was a demonic formation inside her. That formation could metamorphose her bloodline, but it would require her to devour many bloodlines for that to happen.

“Your grandmother was too weak-willed for that, so Jie Tianran staged a public trial to reveal their true faces to her, so that she could harden her determination. He had to be merciless so that she wouldn’t know that he was helping her. Only then would your grandmother, fueled by vengeance, cultivate hard when she realized that she had survived the ordeal.

“When your grandmother finally awakens, she will be able to harness the billions of bloodlines within her and undergo a complete metamorphosis. With that, there is a chance that she might even surpass Jie Tianran in the future. Do you see your grandfather’s kind intention now?” the old entity said.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a side to Jie Tianran.”

“Could it be fake? He can just fake it with a formation, right?”

The Netherworld Sectmembers were surprised to hear the old entity’s words, but at the same time, they also harbored skepticism. But Chu Feng could tell that his grandmother was indeed still alive, and she was advancing in the direction stated by the old entity.

The old entity was not lying about this.

“Chu Feng, have you wondered why Jie Tianran cares so much about your grandmother but harbors such deep hatred toward you?

“I can tell you that Jie Tianran doesn’t care about the other members in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion—he sees them as mere brutes. However, he is loyal to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

“He once used a divination skill to prophesy the future of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. From it, he learned that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion will face a huge crisis in the near future. Your mother, Jie Ranqing, with her pure Ruler’s Bloodline, is the only one who can help the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion tide through this crisis.

“Your mother must not wed anyone or have any offspring, or else the bloodline purity will be undermined. But she got together with your father and had you. That is why Jie Tianran hates you and your father. He believes that your existence has doomed the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

“Later, when Jie Tianran learned that you possessed an extremely pure Ruler’s Bloodline, he was convinced that you had siphoned away your mother’s pure Ruler’s Bloodline. He believes that the only way to put things back in order is to kill you and retrieve your Ruler’s Bloodline. That’s why he has been after your life.

“Others might think that Jie Tianran is heartless, but that is the right thing to do as the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master. Can you empathize with your grandfather now?” the old entity asked.

“Empathize my ass,” Chu Feng scoffed.

“Hahaha!” The old entity laughed. “Does that mean that you don’t intend to reconcile with Jie Tianran?”

“Well... I can consider it,” Chu Feng said.

“Oh?” The old entity looked at Chu Feng with gleaming eyes.

Shoosh!

Chu Feng abruptly flitted up to the formation realm, but before he could make a move, the formation realm vanished. It had shrunk back into the size of a bead and was revolving on top of the old entity’s palm.

“Chu Feng, I have grown accustomed to your tricks. I knew that you were aiming for your grandmother. Don’t worry, Jie Tianran won’t hurt your grandmother. She is safer here,” the old entity said as he stowed the formation realm back into his palm.

“I see that reconciliation is out of the question, but what other tricks do you have? Or rather, when do you intend to invoke that power?” The old entity glanced at God’s Era’s silhouette.

“You can scram now if you’re afraid,” Chu Feng said.

The old entity feared God’s Era, but Chu Feng was unable to tap into its powers. If he could, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath entertaining the old entity. All he could do was to put on a brave front in hopes of scaring the other party off.

“Hahaha!” The old entity laughed. “I don’t know why you aren’t using that power, but it doesn’t matter to me anymore. What I told you about your grandmother wasn’t a lie, and Jie Tianran’s motive for going after you is true as well.

“But I did lie about something. I don’t want you to reconcile with Jie Tianran. You are carrying too many good things—the Ruler’s Bloodline, God’s Era, the Genesis Bloodline, and there is also the Four Symbols Divine Body, right? I reckon there are more that the world doesn’t know about. You are a fortuitous encounter I don’t want to miss.

“I spent so long talking to you because I feared God’s Era’s power, but that is no longer the case. I have just completed my formation.”

The surroundings began to quake. All the realms in the eight galaxies began emanating blood-red auras, including the Ancestral Martial Galaxy’s Hidden Dragon Martial Sect.

At the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, a group of people was gathered before an observation formation—Duan Liufeng, Xia Yan, Li Muzhi, Zhao Shi, Song Xi, Tu Yuanyuan, Chu Lingxi, Xia Yun’er, Li Yue’er, Wuma Shengjie, Kong Tianhui, Kong Ci, Tian Ning, Xian Yun...

They were all observing the situation in the Bloodline Galaxy.

Just then, countless blood-red runes suddenly appeared beneath their feet. There were so many of them that they covered the entire ground.

“What’s that?”

They were all startled.

Blood-red auras rose from the ground and bound them. They struggled, but it was to no avail. To their horror, the blood-red auras began to siphon away their life force.

There was one place that wasn’t affected by the blood-red aura—the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s forbidden land. There, a middle-aged man sat on a tombstone, weighing down a coffin lid.

Long Xie glared at the middle-aged man in a mix of fear and fury.

“Ah. You can save your Hidden Dragon Martial Sectmembers, but don’t interfere with other places. I am not done watching the show yet,” the middle-aged man said.

Long Xie’s body jolted. Domineering oppressive might instantly rippled through the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect, removing the blood-red runes and freeing those who were bound by them.

“What was with that aura?”

“Something is amiss. That sinister thing has enveloped the entire world of cultivation!”

Chu Lingxi and the others could see via the observation formation that, other than the Ninth Galaxy, the other eight galaxies had turned blood-red. They were fortunate that Long Xie was here to protect them, but other places didn’t enjoy the same privilege.

Wails of agony and desperate pleas for help could be heard in every realm. It was as if the entire world had been plunged into hell. No matter their cultivation level, their background, or their ages, every living being was enveloped by the blood-red aura and had their life force gradually siphoned away.

Meanwhile, the old entity standing before Chu Feng began emitting a blood-red aura. Even his black world spiritist cloak had turned blood-red.

While the Netherworld Sect’s blood-red aura carried a heavy blood stench, the old entity’s blood-red aura blazed with life force.

“Did that old thing construct a massive formation spanning the entire world of cultivation?”

The Netherworld Sectmembers were stupefied. A colossal formation spanning the world of cultivation was already frightening as it was, but on top of that, energies from the eight galaxies were converging into the old entity, causing his aura to intensify severalfold.

“This is terrible. Chu Feng, hurry up and ask if the Divine Deer can take you to safety!” Eggy urged.

“I have yet to recover my powers,” the Divine Deer said.

This meant that Chu Feng was doomed. As a world spiritist, he could more keenly sense the changes occurring to the old entity. He knew that he had no chance of victory against the old entity.

“Chu Feng, didn’t you ask Jie Tianran about his final hand? I am his final hand. As a world spiritist yourself, do you feel shocked and despair? Isn’t my formation majestic? It spans the entire world of cultivation!”

The old entity opened his arms gleefully like a painter flaunting their masterpiece.

“That’s all it amounts to,” Chu Feng replied.

“Still putting on a tough front, huh? Very well. It doesn’t matter whether you tap into God’s Era’s power anymore, for I am now the true god in this world of cultivation!”

The old entity raised his palm toward Chu Feng. “Chu Feng, I shall gouge out your eyes now. Are you able to stop me?”

He flitted up to Chu Feng like a phantom, and his fingers shot toward Chu Feng’s eyes. It happened so fast that Chu Feng couldn’t react at all. To the others, it was almost as if time had come to a standstill, and the only one who could still move was the old entity.

“Hm?”

Right as the old entity’s fingers were about to reach Chu Feng’s eyes, his smirk suddenly flickered. He should have been able to burst Chu Feng’s eyes with a mere touch, but for some reason, they felt nigh indestructible.

He had failed to gouge out Chu Feng’s eyes.

“It is beyond you to gouge out his eyes,” a voice echoed from behind Chu Feng.
