Chapter 6045: An Unprecedented Phenomenon

“What’s happening? Why would Brother Chu Feng...” Qin Xuan frowned in disbelief.

Many people shared his bewilderment.

A stairway leading to the spirit formation gate up in space did appear for Chu Feng too, but unlike Jie Tianran, his one only had simple steps. There wasn’t any aura shrouding it, let alone a phenomenon.

But that shouldn’t have been so.

Chu Feng possessed the Ruler’s Bloodline and conquered the Genesis Bloodline. His talent was incomparable, to the point where many believed that it surpassed that of his mother, Jie Ranqing.

How could his stairway be so simple?

Could this be the gap between a junior and an older-generation cultivator? Did the stairway react not to one’s talent but to one's cultivation?

While those inside God’s Era were trying to make sense of the situation, those outside God’s Era fell eerily silent.

Everyone, no matter where they were, had their mouths agape, their eyes bulging out, their breathing hastened, and their hearts beating so fast that it felt like they were on the verge of beating out of their chests.

They were too shocked by the sight before them.

For the longest time, God’s Era was represented by the humongous silhouette in the Seven Realms Galaxy that spanned a massive area, overlapping thousands of realms.

Yet, what the crowd was seeing right now was a terrifying nine-colored lightning enveloping tens of thousands of realms. Even the humongous silhouette was covered by it.

Even those who were a far distance away could see this phenomenon in the sky.

Such a phenomenon was unheard of!

It was a phenomenon induced by a Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, and only two people were scaling Heaven Stairway now. One of them was Chu Feng, who possessed the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, and the other was Jie Tianran, a world spiritist.

There was no doubt that Chu Feng was the one who induced the nine-colored lightning phenomenon.

Somewhere out in space, there was a group comprising both unconscious and conscious figures. Those unconscious ones floated quietly in the void, whereas those who retained their consciousness were overwhelmed by the lightning phenomenon before their eyes.

These were the Ancient Era’s experts eliminated from the dueling ring. All of them were powerhouses, but even so, they were shaken by what they had seen.

“Did that lad induce this phenomenon?”

“Is this humanly possible? What kind of monster is he?”

They were still thinking about exacting vengeance on Chu Feng for taking their Cosmos Sacks and treasures, but the phenomenon he induced via Heaven Stairway made them hesitate.

Was it wise to offend such a monster?

...

Somewhere out in space was a concealed black dragon. A black-armored, white-haired man stood on top of the black dragon.

“Incredible. Such a phenomenon is unheard of even in the Ancient Era. Master, your eyes are as sharp as ever. That child will achieve great things.”

The black dragon’s words caused the surrounding area to tremor. It was so powerful that even the force of its roar could destroy countless realms.

However, no one else heard its words or sensed the commotion it had stirred. Only the black-armored, white-haired man could perceive those.

“The World Spiritist Emperor’s luck continues to this day. I’m surprised he found a successor. However, it’s not certain that Chu Feng will be conferred emperor as a world spiritist; he has great potential as a cultivator too,” the black-armored, white-haired man said.

“Master, do you think Chu Feng will attain the legacy inside God’s Era?” the black dragon asked.

The black-armored, white-haired man looked at the nine-colored lightning that spanned an unbelievably huge radius. Such a sight astounded even him. “This is indeed an unprecedented accomplishment, but it won’t be easy to obtain the legacy inside God’s Era. It’s hard to tell how things will turn out.”

“Master, do you intend to take him under your wing?” the black dragon asked.

“It would be best if I’m able to mobilize such a talent.”

The black-armored, white-haired man looked at the other silhouette reflected in the mirror surface—Chu Feng’s grandfather, Jie Tianran. “That Jie Tianran fellow is no simple person either.”

“It is a formidable phenomenon, but someone capable of inducing that phenomenon shouldn’t only be at that cultivation level at that age.” The black dragon was confused.

“He might have been suppressing his cultivation.”

“Should we take both of them under our wing?”

“We’ll have to see about that. The grudge between him and Chu Feng runs deep. We won’t be able to accept him if that grudge can’t be resolved.”

...

Inside God’s Era, the two stairways reached the spirit formation gate at the same time.

The two stairways morphed into passageways, and both Chu Feng and Jie Tianran ascended via the passageways, rising toward the humongous spirit formation gate.

Being in the middle of everything, Chu Feng could see much more.

He could see that the other end of the spirit formation gate resembled a mirror. He couldn’t decipher anything from the mirror, but he could sense grave danger inside the spirit formation gate, along with an incredible power.

To obtain the power, he would have to first activate an item, or else he wouldn’t obtain anything even if he overcame the threats inside the spirit formation gate.

Since stepping into God’s Era, Chu Feng had received a string of clues informing him that he had to activate an item to acquire the strongest power inside God’s Era. He figured that he was likely on the path leading to the strongest power, but he still didn’t have the activating item yet.

He would only suffer in vain if he entered like that.

“I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or bad thing to walk on this path... Nah, who am I kidding? It’s a bad thing when there are no benefits to be earned from this.”

With that, Chu Feng made up his mind.

He stopped ascending, and a shattering sound followed. Starting from the area around him, the stairway began to crumble.

“Why did the stairway suddenly shatter?”

“Chu Feng!”

Oblivious to the truth, Qin Xuan and the others were worried.

However, Chu Feng turned to them and smiled. He relayed a voice transmission to them, saying, “Don’t worry about me. Rather, you’re the ones who need to be careful. Don’t trust anyone else, especially those from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.”

Shortly after Chu Feng relayed those words, the spirit formation gate that transported out the Ancient Era’s experts exerted a suction force that dragged him in.

At the same time, the nine-colored lightning phenomenon outside vanished.

The crowd became even more certain that the phenomenon was induced by Chu Feng, but they were confused as to why Chu Feng would fail out of the blue.

Jie Tianran noticed what was happening over on Chu Feng’s side too. He frowned, sensing that things weren’t that simple.

...

“Master, that brat gave up,” the black dragon said.

“Mm.” The black-armored, white-haired man nodded.

“Why did he give up? It’s unheard of for anyone to activate such a powerful Heaven Stairway. He’s missing out on a huge fortuitous encounter!” the black dragon exclaimed.

“I don’t know why he did it, but there must be a rationale behind his decision.”

“This works for us too. We can take him into the Ninth Galaxy with us.”

“Everyone has their path to walk. Unless he has chosen to give up, we’ll just be hindering him if we interfere here. We’ll meet again if he climbs high enough. Otherwise, it just means that it’s not meant to be,” the black-armored, white-haired man said as he glanced at a specific area.

That area had hardly anyone, but a person had just appeared out of thin air. It was Chu Feng, who had been eliminated from God’s Era.

“Let’s go,” the black-armored, white-haired man said.

“Where to?” the black dragon asked.

“The Ninth Galaxy.”

“Master, shouldn’t we watch the situation a little longer? You said that Jie Tianran is no simple figure. Aren’t you curious to know what he’ll obtain from God’s Era?” the black dragon asked.

The black-armored, white-haired man didn’t bother to explain. He merely repeated the same words once more, “Let’s go.”

The black dragon dared not to question his judgment. Its large body swayed a little before abruptly vanishing from the spot, not leaving the slightest aura behind.
