Chapter 206: Chapter 207: The Final Test (4th Update) (Please Favorite, Reward, and Recommend)

Chu Fengmian’s figure suddenly dashed into the midst of the thunderclouds.

Arriving at the core of these countless thunders, the sky full of lightning transformed into numerous thunder dragons, numbering in the hundreds, all roaring and striking at Chu Fengmian at the same time.

"Come on! The more that come, the stronger my body becomes!"

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly, pushing the blood in his body to its limits, allowing countless bolts of lightning to strike his body.

Under the relentless bombardment of countless lightning bolts, Chu Fengmian’s body gradually shattered but soon began to heal bit by bit.

His body was almost constantly repeating the process of being shattered by the lightning and then rejuvenating anew.

A day went by.

Chu Fengmian’s figure was no longer disheveled, but under the relentless onslaught of countless lightning bolts, he still kept his eyes tightly shut, fighting with all his might.

Two days.

Chu Fengmian’s expression had relaxed considerably. His body was still extremely numb from the countless lightning bolts, but his entire body now had a bronze hue.

This was indeed Chu Fengmian’s body, becoming more refined after being broken and reborn time and time again.

Three days, four days, five days.

By the sixth day, the sky full of lightning could no longer inflict any harm on Chu Fengmian.

He walked among the countless bolts of lightning, which couldn’t even tickle him anymore, feeling nothing.

"With such a body now, I reckon I could compete against some Martial Artists even without utilising any powers, at the seventh or eighth stage of Riding the Wind!"

Chu Fengmian looked at his body and sighed.

The ability of this lightning forging was truly powerful to the extreme, tearing his body apart time and time again, each time making Chu Fengmian’s body even stronger.

"At this point, this lightning is meaningless."

Chu Fengmian looked at the lightning before him, suddenly stretched out his hand, and tore it apart with great force.

"Break apart!"

"Boom!!"

With a loud noise, Chu Fengmian tore the thundercloud apart with his bare hands, and behind this cloud, the final gate, the fifth gate, also appeared.

This was indeed just as Chu Fengmian had guessed, passing through the lightning forge was the key to completing this assessment.

"The last one!"

Chu Fengmian affirmed in his heart, this last gate would also be the final assessment, whether or not Chu Fengmian could obtain the Emperor of Fertility’s legacy would be decided in one fell swoop.

In the assessment of these five gates, everyone entered a separate space, so Chu Fengmian was also unclear if anyone else had reached this last test like him.

"Let’s go! The legacy of the Emperor of Fertility is definitely mine!"

Chu Fengmian showed a confident smile on his face, murmuring to himself as his figure once again entered through the fifth gate.

Inside this fifth gate, however, was unexpectedly calm.

As Chu Fengmian entered, there was only a huge platform before him, and on the platform, a figure stood quietly with his hands behind his back, seemingly waiting for Chu Fengmian.

"You have come, indeed, only you can pass my assessment."

The figure was the Emperor of Fertility, who addressed Chu Fengmian as he approached, speaking loudly.

"However, I did not expect that you would not even use the Obelisk of Fertility through the first four gates."

"In my estimation, using the Obelisk of Fertility to pass the assessments of the first four gates wouldn’t have been difficult for you."

"Now that you have made it here without using the Obelisk of Fertility, I must say I underestimated you."

Surprise was indeed evident in the Emperor of Fertility’s voice.

In his calculations, Chu Fengmian was indeed the most likely person to reach this fifth gate.

But he did not expect that Chu Fengmian would reach here without even using the Obelisk of Fertility.

He thought at least by the third gate, facing thousands of beasts, Chu Fengmian would need to use the Obelisk of Fertility.

He totally did not expect that Chu Fengmian would directly seize the opportunity to practice his swordsmanship.

For a powerful being like the Emperor of Fertility, it was rare to be surprised, but everything that happened with Chu Fengmian was indeed unexpected.

"Did anyone else pass the assessments?"

Chu Fengmian looked at the Emperor of Fertility and suddenly asked.

In the recent words of the Emperor of Fertility, there was a mention that only Chu Fengmian had passed the first four gates and reached here.

This implied that Yan Nan, Chu Ning, and Cheng Tiangong had not passed the first four assessments.

"That’s right, they all failed. Only three people made it through the third gate, and only one reached the fourth gate, but unfortunately, he did not pass."

The Emperor of Fertility spoke coldly.

Three people passed the third door, and only four reached the fourth door.

This result, although unexpected, did not surprise Chu Fengmian too much.

The first two gates tested the Martial Artists more on their temperament rather than strength.

The third gate was the absolute test of strength, and the number of those who failed in this test would not be in the minority.

What Chu Fengmian found surprising was that someone had actually made it to the fourth gate.

"May I ask, elder, who made it to the fourth gate?"

Chu Fengmian inquired respectfully.

Being able to reach the fourth gate, even if they failed, would have likely brought them numerous benefits.

When leaving the Holy Land, their achievements would be boundless, so Chu Fengmian also had to be cautious.

"It was that Saint Heir you speak of."

The Emperor of Fertility spoke calmly.

"Although his power is strong, the Cultivation Technique he practiced was heretical, which made it impossible for him to resist the lightning, and he fell at the fourth gate."

"It was the Saint Heir!"

This outcome was somewhat beyond Chu Fengmian’s expectations.

He originally thought that those who made it to the fourth gate might be Chu Ning, Cheng Tiangong, or Yan Nan.

Their strengths should be the strongest among all present.

Yan Nan, being weak-minded, fell at the first gate, so in Chu Fengmian’s view, it could possibly have been either Chu Ning or Cheng Tiangong.

But it turned out to be the Saint Heir.

The Saint Heir’s realm wasn’t high, only having made some breakthroughs to the third or fourth stage of Riding the Wind upon entering the Holy Land.

Now being able to make it to the fourth gate, the Saint Heir’s power was much more formidable than imagined.

"It seems that after leaving the Holy Land, this Saint Heir will inevitably be a great threat."

Chu Fengmian murmured to himself, already planning to seize the opportunity to eliminate the Saint Heir completely, as enemies are best dealt with decisively.
