Great Chu Attacks

"System, upgrade the Six-Zhang Golden Body to the sixth level!"

[Upgrading the Six-Zhang Golden Body to level six requires 800 million Demon Points. Upgrade now?]

"Promote!"

Pure True Essence immediately surged from his dantian, flowing throughout his body and repeatedly tempering his muscles, bones, and flesh. Golden light danced beneath Lu Feng's skin, and every inch of his body became increasingly solid.

A moment later, a notification appeared.

[Six-Zhang Golden Body (six levels of perfection);]

Lu Feng opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and felt a surge of power within him. He glanced up at the roof and then abandoned the idea of immediately testing his moves.

The roof is only three zhang high; if someone were to unleash Six-Zhang Golden Body here, the entire house would collapse.

"System, upgrade the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash to level ten!"

[Upgrading Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash to level 10 requires 1 billion Demon Points. Upgrade now?]

"Promote!"

A vast amount of cultivation experience flowed into his mind. Deep within his consciousness, a phantom identical to Lu Feng practiced swordsmanship day and night, and centuries of swordsmanship insights slowly unfolded in his memory.

[Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash (Tenth Level Perfection)]

A sharp Saber Intent emanated from his body, causing the walls of the secret chamber to tremble slightly. Lu Feng could no longer suppress the urge to test his moves and glanced at the panel again.

[Main character: Lu Feng;]

[Cultivation Level: Celestial Person Realm First Layer]

[Cultivation Techniques: Return to the Void Sword Codex (Level 1); Nine Extremes Essence Condensation Art (Level 6) Progress: 100%; Spirit Condensation Art (Not yet mastered);...]

[Perfected Martial Arts: Six-Zhang Golden Body; Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash; Startling Thunder Flash; Walking on Air;...]

[Formation: Four Symbols Formation;]

[Talents: Clear and Pure Spirit Eyes; Void Sword Physique;]

[Demon Points: 1.46 billion]

"There are 1.46 billion left."

Lu Feng got up, changed into a black outfit, left the Prince's Mansion, and went straight out of the Imperial City.

He used his Walking on Air and flew towards the back mountain. He flew for more than ten miles before finding a secluded place.

He spread his divine sense, and within a radius of a hundred feet, there was not a single human figure, nor even a wild beast.

Lu Feng felt relieved and activated his True Essence.

"Six-Zhang Golden Body!"

His body rapidly grew taller, and his black clothes were torn apart in the blink of an eye. In a moment, a giant six zhang tall stood in the forest, golden light flowing around him, and with each step he took, the ground sank half an inch.

At this moment, his physical strength had increased sixty-four times.

"How powerful would the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash if unleashed in this state?"

Lu Feng took out the Bloodthirsty Saber from his storage bag. The long blade grew larger as it fell into his hand. He poured all his True Essence into the blade and activated the runes with his divine sense. A dense blood light immediately shone along the blade.

He leaped into the air, gripped his sword with both hands, and unleashed his first strike towards the grove of trees ahead.

Immediately afterwards, his figure shifted rapidly, and he executed nine sword strikes in one go, each one faster than the last. The nine sword energies did not disperse, but instead overlapped in mid-air, eventually condensing into a massive sword energy that stretched across the sky.

Boom!

Within a radius of several meters, gravity suddenly increased dozens of times, causing pebbles to cling tightly to the ground and trees to bend sharply.

"Cut!"

The massive blade energy crashed down. The violent Saber Intent was completely contained within it, and even the overflowing wind pressure was pushed along the ground without being wasted.

Strangely, when the blade's energy swept across the boulders and trees, they remained completely unaffected; not even a single leaf fell.

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow.

The next moment, the earth trembled violently. A gentle breeze swept by, and wherever the sword energy passed, boulders and trees crumbled simultaneously, turning into dust that filled the sky.

As the dust settled, a deep ravine hundreds of meters long stretched across the land, its clean cross-section startlingly sharp.

Lu Feng's hand gripping the knife went numb from the recoil, but he felt an immense sense of exhilaration. The power of this strike had far exceeded his initial expectations.

"Broken!"

Lu Feng hadn't expected his strike to cause such a commotion. He immediately regained his footing, changed his clothes, and flew away.

Even after traveling several miles, he could still hear the sounds of trees collapsing behind him. Lu Feng didn't turn back; instead, he increased his speed by three points and soon disappeared into the night.

At this moment, Lu Tianming and Liu Yue were having a secret rendezvous in the cave behind the mountain. Suddenly, a loud noise came, and the entire stone chamber shook.

Lu Tianming's expression changed, and he immediately put on his clothes, got up, and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

Not long after, he stood before the deep ravine, remaining silent for a long time.

"Such power, such Saber Intent... Could it be Chu Shanyue? No, he doesn't use a sword."

Lu Tianming admitted that even with the Spirit-Devouring Sword, he couldn't unleash such a strike. Apart from Chu Shanyue, he couldn't think of anyone else in the Great Chu or Great Qian with that kind of strength.

"Could it be one of the elders of the Sacred Hall?"

This conjecture actually calmed him down. If it really was Sacred Hall Elder, the fact that the other party hadn't shown himself meant they didn't want to reveal their whereabouts.

Regardless of why this person attacked here, pretending not to know is the safest option.

When Lu Tianming returned to the cave, Liu Yue had already tidied her clothes.

"Ancestor, what has happened?"

"You don't need to know about this, and you're not allowed to send anyone to investigate." Lu Tianming said sternly.

"Yes," Liu Yue quickly replied, bowing her head.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng had already returned to his residence at the Prince Jing's Manor.

He was still thinking about that stab, feeling both relieved and somewhat regretful.

"Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try out the Return to the Void Sword Codex yet."

Lu Feng knew he was very strong now, but he had never truly fought against a cultivator at the Celestial Person Realm Third Layer or above, nor had he ever seen Yin Spirit Realm expert go all out, so he couldn't judge his own limits.

It seems that to understand his current strength, we still need an opponent who can make him go all out.

The next morning, as soon as Lu Feng opened the door, he saw Lu Shuang hurrying in from outside, her clothes still carrying the chill of the night.

"You don't look well, what happened?" Lu Feng asked.

"I just returned from the palace." Lu Shuang stopped, her voice low. "Last night, the Great Chu amassed 500,000 troops on the border to attack the Great Qian's frontier! The Emperor appointed me to lead 100,000 troops to resist them."

"You agreed?"

Lu Shuang nodded without the slightest hesitation. "I just didn't want to stay in the capital any longer. This time, the Emperor has sent Lu Xinghan and the four princes, plus myself, to each lead an army of 100,000 to resist the Great Chu."

When do we depart?

"One hour later."

"So urgent?"

"Yes! Lu Xinghan and the other princes have already set off." Lu Shuang looked at him, her tone softening. "I came back to ask if you would like to come with me?"

Lu Feng only said one word, "Okay."

Lu Shuang immediately smiled, "I'll go prepare. We'll depart in an hour!"

Not long after, when she came out again, she had changed into a military uniform, her armor plates rustling softly with her movements, looking heroic and dashing.

"Here you go," she tossed over a pair of white armor, "Put them on."

Lu Feng took Jia back to his room, and when he came out again, Lu Shuang stared at him for several breaths without looking away.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's nothing." Lu Shuang turned her head to one side, her ears burning slightly, and turned to leave.

"Aren't you going to tell your uncle?" Lu Feng asked from behind.

Lu Shuang paused, turning back to glance at the library.

"No. If he knew, he would only worry."

After saying that, she strode out of the Prince Jing's Manor and never looked back.

After leaving the imperial city, Lu Shuang said, "Let's go to the Northwest Army Camp to lead the troops first."

The Northwest Army Camp was thousands of miles from the Imperial City. The two of them activated their True Essence and soared into the sky.
