Peerless Martial Soul Chapter 6028: The strange movement of the blood wind!
Previously on Peerless Martial Soul...
It spoke with a leisurely air: "Your assumption isn't quite right. My master is far from being a mere projection."
"He isn't a projection?"
Chen Feng stood there, completely taken aback.
"If he isn't a projection, then what exactly is he? And why would there be a need for him to consume his own self?"
"Furthermore, if he truly isn't a projection, what benefit would swallowing himself provide? Besides, it shouldn't even be possible for him to do so!"
Mo Chan replied: "Since your death is inevitable, I shall let you die with a clear understanding."
It emphasized every syllable: "My master is no projection; he is a guard!"
"What? A guard?"
Chen Feng was struck with profound shock.
The impact of those two words was just as jarring as the moment he first discovered he was merely the projection of a supreme being.
It appeared that within the vast void of this universe, things were more complex than he imagined.
Not only did numerous projections like himself exist.
But there were actually guards as well!
It went without saying that such a guard would naturally be tasked with overseeing these various projections.
Yet, upon reflection, it made sense.
That supreme power was so formidable that he could manifest countless projections.
How could such an entity remain completely indifferent while these projections slaughtered one another to evolve?
Even if that great power was omnipotent and capable of calculating ten thousand variables.
Ultimately, one cannot maintain absolute control over everything personally.
Furthermore, such a being would surely be occupied with Cultivation in seclusion, requiring undisturbed focus.
Therefore, appointing guards was a logical necessity.
A guard’s purpose was simply to monitor his designated projection.
Unexpectedly, however, this guard had chosen to strike at the projection instead.
A torrent of theories suddenly raced through Chen Feng's mind.
"Could it be that some catastrophe befell that mighty expert, emboldening these guards to attack us without restraint?"
"Just what level of existence is that powerful figure? A mere guard can surpass this Mo Chan before me a countless number of times, and yet this Mo Chan is already far beyond my own strength!"
Despite the storm of questions in his heart, he had to confront the reality of the present moment.
Treating Chen Feng as if he were already a corpse, the Mo Chan continued without hesitation: "My master is a guard, unlike a projection such as yourself."
"Consequently, he cannot simply devour others of his kind without facing dire repercussions."
"While my master possesses the strength to consume you by force, he is unwilling to pay the price that follows. There is only a single way to resolve this."
Chen Feng let out a cold sneer: "So, you mean I must go to my death willingly and allow him to absorb me, is that it?"
"Is that why you've resorted to such foul, underhanded tactics?"
Mo Chan responded with indifference: "It is merely the law of the jungle—the strong feast on the weak. There is no such thing as being 'despicable' or otherwise."
"You have climbed to such a high level of Cultivation, yet why do you remain so incredibly naive?"
Its crimson eyes locked onto Chen Feng, flickering with a hint of genuine curiosity.
"I have just reviewed the history of your life. You actually rose from a tiny, insignificant world. It was no small feat for you to struggle all the way to this great world and attain the status of an immortal."
"However, the question you just posed truly makes me think less of you."
Chen Feng’s expression remained stone-faced, but his mind was working at lightning speed.
Naturally, he wasn't so foolish as to care about whether an act was "despicable" or not.
He had only spoken those words to buy himself some time.
In truth, even Chen Feng wasn't entirely sure why he was stalling.
The situation seemed like a total dead end; the disparity in power was far too vast to overcome.
And yet, a faint voice seemed to resonate within his soul.
An instinct forged through countless trials of blood, fire, and brushes with death whispered to him.
If he could just hold on for a little longer, a turning point would surely manifest!
Mo Chan glanced at the surroundings and sighed: "Chen Feng, being consumed by my master is actually a great honor for you."
"Forget about you; even this entire Sirius world is nothing more than a speck of dust in my master's eyes. He could erase it with ease."
"Thus, there is no need for rage, and certainly no point in useless struggling."
As it spoke, ripples of light flowed across its form as if to put its might on display.
In a flash, several eyes snapped open, and multiple beams of varying colors slammed into the earth.
Strangely, despite the ferocity of the strike, there were no shockwaves or craters upon impact.
The energy simply vanished into the ground instantly.
But Chen Feng knew better than to think the attack had failed.
Though it seemed to cause no disturbance, the energy had actually pierced deep into the planet's mantle, merging with the world itself.
Just as expected.
A moment later, a faint, incredibly furious roar echoed from deep within the earth.
The sound was low and heavy, reminiscent of an ancient bull's bellow.
At first, it seemed barely audible.
But as the sound surged outward, the entire world began to quake violently.
Massive fissures tore across the landscape, the ground buckled, volcanoes erupted, and rivers of magma flooded the terrain.
In the blink of an eye, the land for thousands of miles had been transformed into a boiling sea of molten rock.
The entire world seemed to shudder under the weight of that roar.
The magnitude of this disturbance was far greater than when the Mo Chan had first arrived!
At this moment, the whole Sirius world was trembling in fear.
This wasn't just due to the sheer power of the roar.
It was because the source of that voice was one and the same with the world itself!
The Mo Chan, however, wore a look of pure disdain. It smiled mockingly and gave a sharp snort: "You beast, how dare you act out!"
"I didn't drag you here earlier only because it was too much trouble. Did you truly think you were something special?"
"If you dare to bellow again, I will see your world shattered and your soul scattered to the winds!"
During this chaos, Chen Feng’s body suddenly froze.
In reality, he had been feeling a vague sense of unease for some time now.
A nagging sensation that something was missing.
From the moment he saw his old friends appearing one after another, he had been observing closely.
However, he hadn't been able to pinpoint the discrepancy until now.
His mind had been clouded by the revelations shared by the Mo Chan.
He couldn't grasp the thought for a while.
But now, as he felt the vibrations from the depths of this vast world...
That roar seemed to originate from the very core of the planet, from the very source of the world's essence.
Suddenly, a bolt of clarity struck his mind.
In an instant, a flash of realization illuminated his thoughts, and a voice screamed inside him.
"I see it now! I knew something was wrong—I knew someone was missing!"
"Xue Feng! Xue Feng isn't here!"
It turned out that among his many companions and dear friends, one vital person was absent.
That person was Xue Feng.
Xue Feng held an incredibly significant position in Chen Feng's heart.
Since this Mo Chan could peer into his very soul and memories, it was impossible for it to be unaware of this.
Yet, it had failed to bring Xue Feng here.
That meant there had to be a hidden reason behind it.
A theory immediately formed in Chen Feng's mind. After reaching Great Sirius, he had already discovered that Xue Feng did not belong to the Roaring Sirius clan as he had previously suspected.
